For years now people have urged me to do the Atkins thing. NO WAY !! Total witchcraft in my view.

I'm 220 and 6'4". I've been around 220 probably a decade now. Recently I spiked to around 230 when I stopped running due to an injury. To counter this I've stepped up the biking miles (commuting and weekend) and have scaled back come on the diet.

I'd like to get to 210 one day.

I can never seem to stick with a weight training program -- bores the tears out of me. However, the comments on this thread give me hope.
