I sat down next to a gentleman on July 3, 2003, that I had known for quite some time, but had not seen in about a year. You see, as a professional musician, often we go for long stretches without seeing some of our collegues between gigs.
He said hello, and I returned the hello (he seemed to know me, so I played along and pretended to know him - though I had no idea who it was!)
So I leaned over to a saxophone player, and whispered "Hey, Brian - who's that dude sitting next to me?"
"Oh, that's Mike - he lost a bunch of weight..."
I was floored. I knew Mike for years, played dozens of jobs with him, yet I wouldn't have recognized him without asking someone else who it was!
So, after the job, Mike and I went over to a bar down the street, sat down, and he told me his Atkin's success story of losing 100+ pounds in so many months, etc.
I went home that night, packed up all my breads, my chips, my rice, my processed carb-laden pantry of crap and gave it away to my neighbors. "I'll give Atkins a try for a while - see what happens."

That is the beginning of my Atkin's story - you can read more in my journal:
