Rookie - "I'm lovin' it!"
 Hello everyone! (Or at least to those that are reading this!)
My name is Kari-Ann and I have just discovered this great site! I am really looking forward to exploring it all and spending a few good hours here & there surfing this site.
 Here is a little info about me...- I am a grade 4 teacher at an independent/private school in Ontario.
- I have been low-carbing it for 6 months now, along with my very supportive husband Ryan.
 - I chose to switch to a low-carb lifestyle for 2 reasons: a)
 because 2 years ago I had to have back surgery to correct 2 herniated disks in my back. Since then I have had trouble keeping my weight down as my surgeon suggested. and b) because my grandmother passed away as a result of being a brittle diabetic,  and my growing concern about my own insulin levels. - This is my 2nd attempt at LC living. My 1st attempt was 6 years ago, as a pre-wedding diet. My husband Ryan was very successful - he lost approx. 40 lbs and stayed on for months.
 I, on the other hand lasted only 4 days!  (In my defense, that was before the Atkins product line!!!) - I am a confessed chocolate and ice-cream addict!
 - I cannot wait for our GNC store to get the Atkins ice-cream in stock!
 - Ryan's & my weigh-loss success to date has inspired other members of my family to start low-carbing!
- I have 5 cats (all named after Top Gun characters!!!)
- I have discovered Pilates & Yoga - lovin' that too!
 - I love taking pictures, folk art painting, playing golf, and watching hockey (especially when my hubby is in net!!)
Well, that's it for "All about me". I am really looking forward to trying all of the recipes that I have already found on Day 1. Now, if I could only drag myself away from the computer...
Looking forward to LC chatting!
KA
