You mention the importance of mental health for people trying to lose a lot of weight; I agree completely. I have watched friends suffer and agonize due to a desire to lose weight and seen them develop painful and long-lasting eating disorders instead. How does one maintain a positive mental attitude about weight loss? Is it a matter of making weight loss more goal oriented ("I'd like to be able to run a 5k" vs "I need to lose X amount by Y date"), or is it more individual?
