Thanks everyone for the support. Yes I did exercise and still am. I got back into mountain biking big time and am doing it everyday plus a little bit of weights every other day. I also never really got of introduction.

I will post a before and after pic tomorrow. It might scare a few of you to see how I look. *lol*

The race has come and gone and my trusty Rocky Mountain broke on a 4 foot drop. The stay snapped and that was the end of that race. Maybe if I lost more weight then, the stay wouldn't have snapped. *lol* Rocky did replace my frame under warranty.

Default Mine, too?

Will you be my hero too? I'm so impressed with what you're doing! I have a good friend who 'poo-poos' my Atkins WOE. They just don't get it. They've bought into all the hype and are still under the influence of the low fat regime. I can't seem to convince her. I'm done trying. So I told her even though you disagree with the low-carb thing, could you at least support me in my effort to get healthy and slender? She said yes and we've not mentioned it again. I figure I'll just bide my time and she'll see the difference in me eventually. It's disappointing, I know but it will not stop us!!!!

Thanks for sharing, I'm so looking forward to seeing the new you!

Way to go Dave!

You've done the right thing, but setting a reasonable goal, and re-adjusting when you've reached it!

I'll take the libery of moving your post to our Success Stories section, so others may be inspired by it.

As promised my before and after pic. The one with me and the Coke bear was at last years Comdex, So that would be just about a year ago. The other two are just me now. Believe it or not those jeans I'm wearing are the same pair I'm wearing in the before shot.
