If I keep this up, when I meet my weight goal I'll have a lot more muscle--which ups one's metabolic rate over the same pounds of fat. I certainly think that would help maintenance.

You are not too big for running. The best ten mile race I ever ran I was about 230. I ran ten and a half minute miles - not fast but respectable enough. And i was faster than when I was 180.
