Hello all I'm new to the forums. Been lurking here for about a month and figured it was time to sign up and introduce myself. My name is Travis I'm 34, Canadian, and I'm on my second go around on the Atkin's WOE, first time was back in 1999. I'm also 100% commited this time around, I'm doing an extended induction and have lost 73.5 lbs since July 17th, dropping from 306 to a much more comfortable 232.5 lbs. I still have a ways to go to my goal of 190 lbs but I'm not having any trouble sticking with it and watching the pounds melt away. I'll get a sig and a ticker, avatar and pics going soon thx for reading and chat at ya soon.

Re: Another Forum noob.
Thank you both for the warm welcome. I'm an east coaster, in Nova Scotia. I've been reading the DANDR the past week or so. My original plan was to stay on induction until goal then switch to somthing like the "Canada's Food Guide", I have since wisened up and am going to follow the plan the good Doctor laid out for us. I will definetly climb the OWL but for now I'm comfortable with the induction and honestly a little worried about adding new food groups for fear of carb cravings. I tend to be an all or nothing kind of guy.

Welcome Crue. There's lots of Canadians on these forums too. You'll like it here, lots of support when you need it most. If you stay on plan, you shouldn't experience very many cravings at all. That's the beauty of this way of eating.
