I AM a ticking time bomb when it comes to my health. I am 42 years old, married to a wonderful woman and mother of my 6 children. I weigh 293 lbs (296 yesterday) and have a family history of adult onset diabetes. last week my 68 yr old father had a medium grade heart attack and this past monday i sat for hours as they harvested 7 arteries to bypass the blocked ones in his chest. well that was the wake up call i needed! i have done the Atkins before and lost 62 lbs but lost alot of muscle.then i did Body for Life and gained muscle but lost the battle with eating. so this is it ! my goal is a 97 lb loss by my birthday next year (apr.23) that is a reachable goal of 1.96 lbs/per week. it is still a little heavy for my height (6') but my plan to combine the eating skills learned on Atkins with the workout routines of Body for Life will result in a larger me because of muscle and not flab. ALL the help you ALL can give me is welcome and with the Lords help i will stay the course .....my life depends on it.

O.K. I am going to have to play around with this layout a bit to see how it works easiest for updating later.
I am going to ease into this at first so i don't re-injure my shoulder(rotator cuff)I stretched it pretty bad 5 yrs ago and have not been doing the therapy I am supposed to be doing every day (I know, I know...shame on me ) so here we go ..........
