Well, this isn't the heaviest I've ever been, but it's the heaviest I've been in a long time. I've found the motivation to get back on track and kept my intake REALLY low today (lower than I plan to maintain).
I've decided to model my eating after Lyle McDonald's Rapid Fat Loss Handbook (I've had good luck with it in the past). I do plan on eating more carbs than he recommends - at least for a while.
I'm also going to try like hell to get back in the gym, but it's hard to get back to it fatter and weaker than I was when I was last in the gym. I guess many of the good things in life are hard at first.

What is the basis of Lyle's book or how does it differ from Atkins?

So, Lyle has several books on nutrition. This one in particular is his "if you must do a diet to lose weight as fast as possible then this is a good way to do it"-book (I say that because I think he believes some of his other plans are healthier in the long run).
In MY own words, it is based on eating what is necessary and little else - while recognizing that non-starchy vegetables are unlikely to inhibit weight loss. So, compared to Atkins? Much less fat, no real limit on non-starchy vegetable, and a goal to eat enough protein each day.

Thanks for sharing. Sounds like I need to get that book too. My body responds well to that approach. Wishing you success!
