I'm 62, 5'10" and ballooned up to 238 lbs. I went on a motorcycle trip in March with my best friend. He took pictures of me while we were riding and it looked like I had picked up my stomach and laid it over the gas tank!

A couple of weeks later, I was putting on my 38 waist pants and I had to lay on the bed and pull with all my might to get them buttoned.

Right there I said; "enough is enough!"

My wife and I went on the Atkins diet, (low carbs and no sugar), in April. Since then I've lost 24 lbs. and my 38 pants button up easily.

I've done this without exercise as I'm not a exercise sort of guy and you couldn't get me into a gym if you held a gun to my head!

I am going to start walking but I have been thrilled with my loss so far. The Atkins diet is easy for me and though I do miss bread, potatoes and rice, I'm going to stick with it the rest of my life.

Oh yeah, good for all you others who have lost weight!
