I've battled my weight most of my adult life. 2004 really made me stop and look at my health. Both my Dad and younger brother had open heart surgery this year. They both have diabetes. Neither is overweight. My mom has battled her weight for as long as I can remember and has some serious health problems because of it. High blood pressure being one of them.

I will turn 50 November 2005. I decided that now is the time to really concentrate on my health first and the weight will just take care of itself.

Following are some pictures of where I've been so far.
Mardi Gras 2003 Probably in the 170s. July 2003 -- 172 lbs. I started doing the Atkins Diet right after I took this picture. I lost 13.5 pounds in 7 months. Between February and July 2004 I gained it all back plus 2 pounds. Picture taken July 2004, at my Mom and Dad's 50th wedding anniversary.
