Is this as good as it gets?!


Question:

Is this as good as it gets?

3 years ago at the age of 38 I woke up and realized I was extremely overweight. 5ft10in, 232 lbs, size 18. I also realized how I limited my activities because of so many things I couldn't do. I decided needed to make some drastic changes. I started eating a balanced diet, no fad diets for me, and exercise. When I started I could barely do a 2mile slow walk. And at 37 thats pathetic. I gradually went longer and faster, and after about a year I was able to run-well actually jog, 3and1/2 miles. I lost 62 lbs over the course of a year and a half. Slow and steady, I was told to take my time losing and it would be more likely to stay off.
Ok so I hit the weight of 170 a year and a half ago, and I am still there. I look good, but not great, somewhere between a size 8-10. I am pretty muscular, except for that dreaded stomache. I have tried mixing it up a little, added abs everyday, biking instead of jogging, etc. But I am stuck, any ideas.
