Hi all,
Looks like this is the place to get started. My name is Brian and I am 26 years old. This will be the 2nd time I have tried Atkins. The first time was back in high school, I was able to stick with it over a summer break and lost 50lbs. Too bad I went off to college, beer and pizza don't exactly keeps the pounds off.
I have tried a lot of different diets since graduation but can not seem to stay on track. When I left for college in August of 1998 I weighed 250 lbs. I now weigh 380 lbs and am miserable. 
I have now turned back to the Atkins diet for 3 reasons.
First, It was the only one ever to work for me.
Second, My wedding is June 16. After going to get fitted for a tux and finding out that no rental place had a jacket in my size (66R) that would fit me right, I had to get a jacket and shirt custom made. Needless to say that was a pretty big blow to the ol' self esteem and to the wallet.
Third, We will be going on a late honeymoon to Disney World the week after Thanksgiving and I have a feeling that I will not be able to fit on any rides.
So anyway, I am now on day 3 in induction and am happy to find a place to sound off and get some great support. I will also be trying something new for me on this diet, keeping a video blog of my progress and posting it on Youtube for the world to see. I figure if I let everyone in on my progress, I will have no choice but to succeed. Can't let fans down lol.
Its good to be here and talk to yall soon,
