IAMA guy who lost 260 pounds without the use of surgery, weight loss drugs or specialised diet. AMA

Hi all,

Someone asked I do an AMA on the subject of weight loss. I recently posted my photo to r/loseit and got the most amazing feedback. Any questions about my weight loss, life before losing weight, why I gained weight, anything - please feel free to AMA.

Before and after

EDIT - thanks so much for the feeback. I love you all, but I'll have to leave now, I'm on a train getting ready to visit friends for NYE. I'll try my hardest to respond to you when I get back next year. Have a great New Year everyone!

EDIT 2 - I'm back from New Years shenanigans, and ... wow. The response has been overwhelming. I'll attempt to reply to as many comments and messages as I can. Apologies for the lateness, and especially if I manage to miss your comment or PM.
