I'm 35 and a father of 2. I was in fantastic shape once upon a time and ran 5 miles a day most days. But I developed severe stress fractures in my shins and had to totally stop. I also started eating really really badly. So I ballooned up from 185 to 285. I tried Atkins several times and I always enjoyed it but I have a lot of problems with the owl rungs. This time I need to stick to it!
