Nah, people say that, but accepting praise makes me feel like a fraud. When you're that fat (I am 6'6" so even at my heaviest never looked really overweight) weight shifts so quickly and easily. And I discovered a massive love for cycling, something I did for its own sake as much as weightloss. Had I had to summon the will to force myself to sit on a rowing machine in a gym or something I'd feel like I'd 'worked' for it. As it is, I had a ball doing something I loved and the health just came along as part of it.
