Lots of talk about checking out your after pics, PapaDeuce... and I agree with that talk... but be sure to take and post a few "during" pics, sit them along side this before pic and show us how well you're doing! What a fantastic motivation to see it all melt away!!

Good for you and keep up the excellent work!!

Don't give up the BBQ. Just do it differently. Carolina Style BBQ is very Atkins friendly. I got a pork shoulder injected and marinating right now, would love to share it with you on Sunday when I pull it off the smoker. Best of luck Papa Deuce and go Eagles!

What a coincidence... my shoulder will be in the smoker overnight on Saturday, so that it is good to go for the Eagles game.

Good for you in putting up your before picture. You won't regret it when you can look back and see the transformation you are gonna make.

Posting before pics is great for motivation and for comparisons when you're further down the road. You won't regret doing this! Well done!
Congrats on your 10 lbs gone!

You and I have a lot in common, I look forward to the "after" pics. You are a inspiration to me. Much props and respect for sitting up to the plate like that. Take care.

hey PD....

if you can do 3 pushups, do them!! do 3 pushups every day for two weeks. then move to 4 pushups, another two weeks. maybe you want to have rest days, maybe you don't.....thats for you to decide. but just stick with it and eat sensibly.......your numbers will improve and you'll get stronger. and lets say you lose 50lbs or so....then i am thinking, you can do pushups with each of your daughters on your back!! i bet they would get a kick out of that

I'm going to try... having had a heart attack in 2007, I'm still a little leary of doing thinks that I think might stress my heart. Though, in all honesty, I feel better now that I did before the heart attack.... but once you have one, it is always in the back of your mind.
