I am 62 years old, 63 in August. I have weighed as high as 260 and as low as 138. I was a normal size kid until my parents sent me to my grandparents for the summer when I was 10. Well, donuts, ice cream and peanut butter toast every day for the summer did the most damage of anything I have been through. Been struggling with my weight ever since. I have been on every program you can think of but the Atkin's Diet has been the most productive. I am now trying to incorporate vegetables so I can live with this the rest of my life. I just don't want to die fat. So I will continue this journey and hopefully my lab tests will turn out great next week.....to be continued.
