Default 30 pounds gone :D

After trying almost every diet that exists, I've finally found one that works for me. Before low-carbing, I was losing weight at an extremely slow pace. I started atkins induction last month and I lost 15 pounds since. I'm just gonna let the pictures speak for themselves here:

November 2010 (been dealing with depression, acne, other problems):

185 lb, my maximum weight

September 2011 (feeling better than ever, 95% clear skin):

155 lb, my current weight

My BMI is still above 25, so I'm still considered overweight, but I only have 20 pounds to reach my goal.

Congratulations! You look GREAT!

Don't put too much stock in the BMI. Remember, Will Smith is obese, according to the charts. So are Mike Tyson, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Shaquille O'Neal, and a host of other muscular bodies.

Optimum health and fitness is not a number in the charts.
