McTygue owes his weight loss to Atkins diet
Public Works Commissioner Tom McTygue firmly believes people have control over their own health. And about seven months ago, he decided to take control of his weight problem by going on the Atkins diet.
McTygue lost about 40 pounds, going from a 44 to a 38 waist, and hopes to close in on his goal of a 36 waist within the month. But he also dropped more than pounds and pant sizes - McTygue improved his health so much he was able to go off a medication for heart regulation and blood pressure.
