    Yeah, that's about where I'd really like to be, too. How tall are you, Morgan?

    I'm only 5'10. I should really try to get down to 180 which is where I was through my 20's.

    My senior year in HS, I was 5'11 and started the year at 165 after 2-a-days in football. I was actually underweight for the first and only time in my life. I graduated at around 205, and that was a really good weight for me at the time.

    I talked with my doc last year about a target weight for me (I'm 6'0, 285 now) and he said with my frame he'd like to see me at 235 to 240.

    You're a couple inches shorter than me, but you've still got a solid frame from what I can tell in the pics. I'd say 225 to 230 would probably be a great target for you. JMO. :)

    I'm about 205 - I think - my scales suck so I ain't sure. I swore I would start cutting off body parts if I ever went over 200.

    I would like to be around 180 so that puts me at 25 pounds.

    but no immediate diet plans in the futre. it'll happen when it happens

    Maybe your doc is trying to set achievable goals, but that's definitely not a healthy weight still. You're massively overweight at 6'0 and 285 - 60-80 lbs extra easily. For 5'10-11, I'd say 180 is a MUSCULAR guy in good shape, 165 is a strong guy in good shape. 20lbs over ideal weight is not going to kill you, but it's not good. 40lbs is bad for that heart. 80lbs is insane. You're DEEEP into the obese territory at that point...

    170 now. Last year at this time I was 155 but probably 50% stronger. I just need to get back into the gym regularly and get back on smoothie diet. I used to be 150 in college and bench 265. I don't think I can ever get to that point again. :(

    I started the atkins 2.5 days ago and I've gained 7 lbs. What the hell am I doing wrong? Eggs and meat for almost three days with vitamin suppliments and I'm shaking like a leaf, drinking 10 glasses of water a day, pissing every other hour.

    Temporary weight gain is a possibility. I would guess most of that is water weight which will go away in a couple of days.

    Can you post your exact menu?

    One last question and this isn't in jest....are you regular? You might want to take some fiber.
