Might as well give an update: Down 20 lbs after 30 days. I went off diet (kinda) in Madison last weekend and drank a ton of beer on Friday and Saturday. I tried to otherwise stick reasonably close to Atkins though. Over the weekend I had gained one whole lb which dropped back off on Monday. Then this week I have been just dropping weight like a rock: 5 lbs in 5 days! I had initially thought I'd stop at 200 lbs (what I weighed when I got married) but now I am thinking 185 is easily attainable. That's what I weighed the last time I didn't feel at all overweight (maybe 1995?).

This is with nothing but strict atkins diet and walking up and down the stairs at work whenever I need to go somewhere (5th floor). I am feeling a lot more energetic though now and plan to start doing some more rigorous exercising whenever I start adding more carbs back.
