Now, he's actually much slimmer. He was born with only one kidney and when it started failing, he had to go on dialysis. Finally after all these years of eating fast food, he is taking his diet seriously. Sadly, much too late.

Wow, sorry to hear about your brother. I'm fighting becoming a totally obnoxious low carb evangelist. It seems like every day I meet or run into someone I know who is having weight-related issues and I want to sit them down and bend their ears a while. Or buy them Taubes book and lock them in a room til they're done.
I'm glad he's doing better, that's something hopeful, isn't it!
As for my avatar, it's kind of a slam at Kimkins...which not only got me started on the low carb WOE but also brought my metabolism to a total grinding halt and made me anemic. So I'm trying to be good Atkins/Groves/PP style so my metabolism will get better so I can lose more weight.
I'm hoping the day will come when people will ask me "What did you do to lose all that weight????" As it is now, most people notice I've lost some but by now I should have lost a bunch.
