I know this is the second time I've posted about my weight here, but the last time was back in August and I just felt good feels, man.

Saw a pic of myself on facebook from Christmas 2011, and I decided to make a kind of before/after image.
On the left is the Christmas photo (213 lbs.) and the right [168 lbs. (yay!)] is a photo i just took.

Speaking as someone with a health-related impetus to drop some weight, would you say there is a single biggest factor or a couple of notable factors in being able to do that?

Other than the obvious "grit your teeth, watch your diet, and do cardio"?

Not to sound like I'm looking for a magic bullet, but what I do mean to ask is "any tips"?

Also, congrats!  It's pretty impressive in any case.

Probably the biggest thing for me was to stop eating so much. I overate a lot, or rather ate until I felt full. Don't do that.  I eat more high fat, low carb, low sugar food on days I don't exercise, and high carb food when I do. I don't eat potatoes, pasta, or drink soda (though I didn't really drink any in the first place), but I'm no expert on this stuff and what worked for me may not work as well for you, although could maybe work very well for you.

I started working out in June, and by working out I mean all I really did was doing ~300 situps everyday. When I started i could only do 60 at a time, but i added 20 per day most days. But I found a combination of exercises (squats, planks) to work much better than that, which is pretty much what I do now.

This could all be terrible non-advice, but I don't know and that's about as much as I can tell you, Turtlekid.
Also thanks guys :D

tl;dr do squats & no potatoes, pasta, or soda

Normally I'd criticize you for celebrating the banning of another member, but TheColonelKR was beyond annoying.

He had it coming. Maybe I shouldn't be sharing this, but...
When I have to PM him a temp ban warning saying I (and everyone else) is sick of his behavior, and before I do Deezer says, "Include me in that," you know it's bad.  A couple weeks ago he got a discreet temp ban as a warning to get his act together. He clearly didn't learn anything. So yeah, it was only a matter of time.
