thanks man!
well during the first months i lost weight mostly by change of diet, i've been on a low-carb diet and it seems to work for me even though people say it's just a fad diet. still, even if i did just lose the weight because of starting to eat right and not because of the low amount of carbs, i still find that the low-carb diet helps controlling the urge to eat shitty food - for example, i absolutely love chocolate, and last christmas, i ate like 4 boxes of the stuff. it was just too good to stop eating.
i haven't had any chocolate since, nor have i felt the urge to have any.
i changed walking to bicycling a few weeks ago because i think it's more fun and way more versatile as i don't like running, and also takes much less time to do. i try to ride 5x10km per week, which comes to about 30 minutes per day at my pace. when i used to walk, i would have to keep going for 1h 30min and still not feel like it's doing much. if running is your thing though, it'll become a different story.
looks like a smooth transition to me, especially if you cut it yourself just using a trimmer! i don't think i'd want a buzz and i'm a bit afraid that i'd end up having a haircut that i'd regret, but i'll have to consider doing that when the time comes, looks pretty neutral.
i'm actually looking for a new job at the moment, getting a haircut would probably up my chances as well.
