Nat, you always seem to have a way with your words. Back on the Atkins, our new son is 2 1/2 months old and keeping us busy and unfortunately out of the gym. Gained back most of the weight and LOTS MORE INCHES>>>>> oh well. I do agree with the BF% as a goal. This past summer when I started I lost 16 lbs in the first two weeks and then stopped. Though I continued to tighten the belt and my "Love Handles" were getting smaller.. BF% is the way to go...

I find it easier to take both hands and grab some fat from your body, if there is less to grab this week than last week, then hey, you are doing something right.

I hope i didn't offend anyone with the pic, a great eye opener to what my wife looks at everyday...... WOW, I'm a machine.......

Thanks for the advice.
