For me to drop from my high of 205 back to a working weight under 180 it took lots of travel for work where I was away from my munchies for 3 to 4 weeks. The first time I got down to 185 in Brazil and then a trip to India got me down to about 170. I quit drinking soda pop, and started eating more fiber and no sugar for breakfast other than the raisins and dates in my muesli and quit eating bagels for breakfast as much. A T-bone accident on my motorcycle 18 months ago left me with a bad leg/foot so I'm a lot less active and loss a lot of muscle weight. I'm down to 155 now. I was 145 when I got out of the Marines 40 years ago

Losing 25 pounds is vastly different then having to lose 150 pounds.

Absolutely, and 25lbs is half of the 50lbs I lost in 3 years. I've never dieted, I just changed the way I eat to get to my healthy weight
