After having knee surgery at the end of June, I took an honest look at myself and didn't like what I saw. I was beyond morbidly obese - with a BMI of 50. I was struggling in almost every area of my life.

I found myself an eye lash's width from 290 lbs. Through July, I started Atkins and began aggressively "knee-habbing". After a month of hard work, I am happy to report that I have made progress.

July 1: 289.6
August 1: 270

July BMI: 49.7
August BMI: 46.4

July waist: 54 inches
August waist: 52 inches

Not every area of my life is going well, but I think I am moving in the right direction.
