    Before pic

    I've done Atkins before but didn't stay on it very long. I lost 13lbs in less than 3 weeks the first time. I used to manage a fast food place and my weight got up to 230lbs. I lost 25-30 of that when I quit working there (just from not having food so readily available) then I lost the other 13 on atkins bringing me to 193lbs at 5ft11". I have started back and plan to stay on this time till I reach my goal of 165lbs. Anyway, here is a before shot of me at 190ish.

    You really don't have much to lose, so I wouldn't be surprised if you reached goal within a 3 month timeframe. If I were you, I'd really hit the weights, run, and see if maybe 170 would turn out to be a solid weight for your height and mass. I'm 5'10 (basically the same as you), but at your current weight, I may look a tad emaciated, so you never know.
    Work-in-progress:
    Height: 5'10
    Age: 24 (Damn, the years are creeping up!)
    Sex: Male (Hetero as can be!)
    SW: 370+ (August, 2005)
    CW: 241(June 24, 2006)
    GW: 220 (maybe 210, who knows? As long as I can see abs, I'm good.)

    Education: BS (Information Systems w/software engineering concentration) MS (Information Assurance and Security 6 hours left) Ph.D (next goal in Information Technology Management. ~3-4 years)

      Ernesto,
      I plan on weight training as well as cardio. I just quit smoking about 2 weeks ago and I have to let myself get some wind built back up. I have a small build muscular wise so yes, I will be ok weighing less than you ( I suppose you are a little more muscular build). I'm not as caught up in what the scale says, but rather in what the mirror says.
      Whatever you say man.

        congrats on the no smoking!
        you made the comment though:
        I have started back and plan to stay on this time till I reach my goal of 165lbs
        does this mean that after you reach goal, you are going back to old ways, getting off atkins, not doing maintenance? just wondering!

          I should have been more clear. I plan on controling and being aware of my carb intake from now on. I am not going back to smoking. I have made the decision to change my life for the better. Since quiting smoking and cutting out the high carb intake my energy levels have risen dramatically. I feel better about life and am beginning to live it instead of just watch it. I have a three year old son and we plan on having another child in the next few years. I want to be able to participate in their lives fully well into my old age. I don't want to be one of the lung cancer/diabetic/heart attack/stroke statistics. I am twenty seven and am just beginning to discover the secret to happiness is not money and keeping up with the Jones's. It's enjoying what you have and having valuable experiences, not possessions. As a matter of fact my wife and I are selling our house in the estates and moving to the country (our true roots and upbringing) and returning the a simpler, pleasureful life not complicated by money and power. OK, that's kinda off subject....I plan on making a life change. And here is a picture of my son at his grandparents in the country.

              change can come in either of two important ways:start behaving positively or stop behaving negatively.
