I am a 43 year old male. When I graduated high school I weighed 130 pounds. By the time I met my future ex-wife I was 24. I probably weighed around 165 then. By the time we married, 5 years later, I weighed 200. By the time we divorced in 2007, my weight was up to 240. I went on the Atkin's diet in 2008 and lost down to 198 pounds. I was happy but it didn't stay off. I gained back to 230 and had been there ever since. Approximately 8 weeks ago we started a challenge at work. So, I began the Atkin's diet again. I am determined to get down to 170-175 and stay there. Right now I am at 211.
