Default An Introduction

Hi Everyone!

Just wanted to quickly introduce myself. I'm from Toronto, Ontario, Canada, am 25 years old, and recently (Oct. 2004) married to the man of my dreams.

I began the Atkins WOL approximately one month ago, and am still in Induction. I'm trying to make sure I get Induction 'right' before moving onto OWL. Thus far, I've been 150% committed (food, exercise, vitamins), and the word 'cheat' isn't even in my vocabulary. I'm actually surprised and somewhat proud of myself thus far, because I have never been entirely committed or cheat-free on any weight loss program before.

I can definitely see myself being happy with this WOL forever.

Anywho, it is nice to meet you all. I'm looking forward to participating!
