So I'm down to around 170 now. I really need to get back into lifting on a regular basis since I would really like to tighten up a lot of this loose skin. Would love to pack on 5-10 lbs of muscle.
Again, I can't recommend swimming enough. Great results and much easier on your body than running/walking a ton, at least for me.

I drink less than I did in my 20's, that's also a plus.
Background:
I'm 32. In the past 10 years I've dropped ~100 lbs twice. First time, around 9-10 years ago. Went from over 300 down to 215 in one year. Kept it off for a few years, but got back into my lazy habits again and between 26-30 most of it came back again. Over the last 2+ years I've again dropped around 100, now I am at ~185. Went from pant waist size 42/44 to 34.
Honestly I will be happy to be around 180 and just focus more on muscle tone.
