Introduce Yourself!

Enough with the challenges for now! Let's chat..
Okay, so I want to get a few solid people on here, myself including. I just started on the Paleo diet, with a few modifications, and so far I feel pretty good about how it's going! It's going to be a challenge getting my calories up, but for the first day I did pretty well. Any new things in anyone's life?
January 2012 Challenge
I saw this on a forum and thought it would be interesting to do. On top of the biweekly challenges, I'm gonna do a January 2012 challenge to get us started for the new year.

Best thing that has happened to you in 2011?
Okay, so because it's that time of the year, I'm stopping the challenges until the start of 2012. It's too much of a hassle to keep it up when I know we're all far too busy to do the challenges. So instead, what is the best thing that has happened to you this year? Me? Starting on MFP :)
Goals

No ice cream, cookies, etc. We have a bag of kettle corn and that's getting finished off and then we're done. I'm not even gonna buy Skinny Cow ice creams this week because I a) can't afford it and b) need those extra calories…
