I'm kind of proud of myself but yes, the dietary change has obviously been a huge part of it. I keep reflecting on how I was when I first moved here. I had no friends and therefore going to the pubs regularly was a big part of my life. I was still committed to exercise at the time as well so my days wen't like this: Have a breakfast that probably consisted mostly of leftovers from the night before, then do something during the day, then go to happy hour and have 6-8 beers, then I would run at least a 5k every night. Normally I would go to bed at a pretty reasonable hour.

But that's the thing, the drinking was killing any progress that I might have made. Since I wasn't focused on what I put in the tank, only what I did some exercise after, I was never going to make much progress.

I'm no expert but I think we can't really argue with the results I am seeing now.
