While I did lose 72lbs, it's misleading to just look at my before and after weight. I went from 232 down to 160 or so, then started to add weight. I was about 17% body fat at 160lbs. I'm up to 192lbs and 15% body fat, today. I'd like to lose more fat, but it's better than being that scrawny and flabby 160.

At one point, I weighed 275lbs. That was almost 20 years ago and only lasted a short period of time. After that year, I dropped back under 235, where I've stayed for the rest of my life. So, I guess I HAVE lost over a hundred pounds, but it took 17 years to do it.
