Does anywhere here do MMA? I used to try and run treadmills and lift weights, but I would always get bored and stop because it felt like I was exercising rather than doing a sport. I started doing MMA 8 months ago, and I lost over 25 pounds (I was 188 before, now around ~160-162). MMA is great because I got to punch and kick pads, spar and put people in armbars, allowing me to "exercise" without really knowing it. This is definitely a healthier weight for me because I'm only 20 years old, 5'10.5 and a have slightly below average bone structure, even for my age.
