I've been converted since January 14, 2002. That's the day I got my book and although I cut out a lot of sugars and carbs before that, I consider that my enlistment date.

That means I've been on this new WOL/WOE for 12, almost 13 weeks. Granted, when I first started, I thought I'd be at my goal weight before now, but with some bumps in the road from some cheats here and there as well as added too many carbs too fast, I'm in it for the long haul anyway.

I'm now an Atkin's for life believer and although I'd like my DF (F = fiance, til 6/29) to join me in this new WOL, I'm not pushing him too hard . I have the Carbohydrate Addicted Kids book lying around the house and I am hoping that he feels it's a necessary thing for his kids to get into the right frame of mind when it comes to making sensible food choices.

His 2 kids for a previous marriage (6 & 8) need to work on their sugar & carb addictions.

Of course, my future children will be perfect

Thanks to all for your support!
