[Flyerist]

I just turned 34, and instead of a new year's resolution, I am doing a "birthday resolution". I was golfing with some buddies before my birthday, and of course we took some pics. They were awful.

I have been the same weight for 6+ years, about 220. I'm 6' tall and so I think my caloric intake prior to Atkins was exactly what I was burning every day. My goal is to get out of the yellow band on the BMI chart, and get to a 24 BMI (that's about 175 lbs for a 6' male).

Of course my ultimate goal is to be healthy and be happy with myself. My wife is very supportive and is helping me with veggie selection.

I started June 12, and I was 221. I have incredible willpower now, I hope I can maintain that.
