Hello, My name is Phil. I have been on atkins off and on for the last couple years but my wife (iowan) and I have been hitting it hard since Jan 1st. I have lost a total of 70 pounds. My 1st goal is getting off my blood pressure medication. Other goals include reaching 225 pounds for the 1st time in I don't know how long, and being able to run the bases in a softball game WITHOUT my gut bouncing around. I expect to be there by the end of summer. My hobbies include My wife and 2 boys, Deer and turkey hunting, fishing, outdoor photography, shooting (bow, handgun, rifle, shotgun, etc) and I am just now getting into golf (and it is driving my wife crazy!!!!!) Needless to say I like being outside! So thats about it for me.

Take care all
-Phil
