While chroPic may have helped a bit, this is what gave you the majority of your weight loss.
Also, you might want to be careful and look into it a bit more:

"Although medical studies have used dosages of chromium up to 1,000mcg, these higher doses may be unsafe."
"Side effects and health risks associated with taking up to 200mcg daily of chromium picolinate are nearly non-existent, according to the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center. However, taking excessive amounts of chromium could potentially cause damage to your liver, kidneys and bone marrow. Taking large amounts of chromium picolinate specifically could interfere with your neurotransmitters, possibly harming people with certain mental health conditions like schizophrenia, depression and bipolar disorder. Chromium supplements may interact negatively with certain medications, such as diabetes drugs including insulin and antacids that contain calcium carbonate, warns the University of Maryland Medical Center."
