    It's been a while...wow

    Well, it's been a while since I've visited this site. I see there are many newcomers as well as a few old-timers. I thought maybe I'd post my before and after/during atkins (before I went off the Atkins way of life and gained some back slightly). My stats are up-to-date in my signature.

    . The left side is obviously me before and the right side is during/after. The bottom picture that has "2002-2003" is my junior year in high school.

    Muscle Picture 2


    Boy do i still wish that I had those muscles/arms taht are in pic 1 and 2. They weren't GREAT but they weren't bad either.

    Since then as it says in my siggy, I have gained some weight back. Original start was 305, low weight was 195, and now I gained back to 227 and am going to try hard to lose weight again

        Welcome back Big G! Love your pics!
        You did it before so you can certainly do it again...especially as your journey will be that much shorter. Kudos to you for hopping back on the wagon before you regained any more than you did.
        Before and after:






        PLEDGING FLIGHTS
        Completed: 1st set of buildings and mountains (Everest,M.Blanc & Kilimanjaro, twice); Tower Masts & Chimneys; More virtual buildings; Challenger's Choice x 2 (volcanos and mountains on Mars). Currently climbing: Mount Snowdon again: 416/475

        Start 10 Jan 2005. Maintenance since Aug. 2005.

          Glad you're back! Congrats on nipping your weight gain in the bud before it could creep back up to where you started or worse! Wish I had done that hehe

                        I just can't get over how much everyone looks different after they have lost all the extra weight....I definatly have more respect for someone like you guys on here that take the time and effort to lose all the weight and look good then someone I see walking down the street who doesn't have to do anything to look good. I'd rather have your will power and strength and your 'I worked my *** off for these abs' body than their 'born with it' body....Congrats to you and everyone else on here for the success you've had so far.....
