He also does webinars pretty consistently. Starting at age 10, he began to put on weight. He was a skinny kid, then the guidelines changed and he became heavy. In 2004, he probably weighed 285 lbs and found the Atkins story. He got down to 215 but wanted to get down to 180. He had a second child then fell off the wagon and gained a lot of the weight back.
