Classes are all I do, and even yoga is much easier at my smaller size, as many poses use body weight, and all that flab used to get in the way. The instructor at my favorite strength/endurance class used to weigh 250, and the gym watched her lose, asked her if she wanted to teach some classes. She now weighs 140, doesn't have crazy eating habits and seems sane and happy. She gives me a goal, she's a few inches taller with bigger boobs, so I figure if I hit 130, that would be an appropriate weight.
