Hello!!

I thought it would be nice to meet some people from Toronto, the GTA or anywhere in Ontario.

It would be nice to chat with local LCers. We could discuss where to get certain products... grocery store/farmers market/restaurant/cool LC product recommendations... anything, really!


What do you think?

Hi Elizabeth, I live just north of Toronto and have been on Atkins now (for the second time) since January. I've gone from 207lbs to 183lbs so it's not fast. I've averaged it out and I lose around one to one and a half pounds per week. I order online from lowcarb canada.ca and enjoy their bread etc. This time I ordered their burger buns but they haven't arrived yet. How are you doing? Regards, Doreena.

Hi Doreena! Nice to meet you!

I forgot that I even started this thread, lol

I'm just north of Toronto too

Congrats on the weight loss!! I've lost 42lbs. and I'm really really excited!

Thanks for the low carb link. Have you ever been to the Low Carb Grocery Store in Markham? It's excellent and you can even order from them online:

Shipment is really fast because, well, they're just down the street!


Thanks for saying "hi"!

Hey neighbors! I'm in Mississauga Been LC since January.. been off plan a couple of times so I think I have hampered my loss for sure but so far I'm down 20 - 25 pds. Nice to see local LC'ers on the board

Hi Luvhandles!

Fo some reason I didn't notice that you had posted in this thread - sorry for the WAY LATE reply!

It's nice to meet you! I live in Vaughan, so not too far from Mississauga


Congrats on your loss!

Better late than never Thanks for having me Vaughn isn't too far at all.. I haven't noticed too many others on this board from the GTA. We're a small group it seems.. most of the canadians on the board seem to be from the west coast.

Yes, it's true... I thought there would be more people from the GTA (or maybe there are, but they just don't post as much)... The west coasters DO seem to be very active on the forum.


Oh well. GTAers RULE!!! lol


Hope you're enjoying the gorgeous weather... no humidity, whoo hoo!


Have a happy long-weekend!! (say no to the ice-cream and beer!! my LCing hubby is an east coaster, so it's REALLY hard for him to pass on beer, lol)

You can say that again! No humidity I mean Yesterday was nice but this morning is just beautiful! Picnic day with my little one

Have a teeerific lc day :P

Oh and I just realized yer sig says your hubby is an East Coaster..MINE TOO!! hehehe.. from NL ~ Hr.Breton actually.. so keep sayin no to BEER .. lord knows I say no too often

That's too funny! Matt's from NB We actually just came back from visiting his family (first week of July).

His mom had a HUGE BBQ with a million of his aunts, uncles, cousins... lol. OMG, so much booze there! LOL

Must be in the water in TO area, let me tell you. I lived in Brampton/Miss for 12 years (and just recently moved east to near Kingston). I met my dh while I lived there and he is also an easterner....the rock, actually!

He was the third newfie I dated...and he stuck. I never could stay away from the men from there, LOL.

He can give up everything carby except for the brew. Not that he needs it at 6'1" and 172 lbs with a six pack. *Sigh*.

lol, all us Ontario girls seem to be marrying east coasters!


Nice to meet you, msmum1977!

me me..i live in brampton and lcing since May..

Hi bidisha!

Nice to meet another GTAer!

bidisha...how do you low carb with all the yummy Indian restaurants in Brampton??? The naan, batura, channa, roti, daal dishes...yummmmmmmm.

I miss being near a larger variety of restaurants, let me tell you all.

You know what..its not that difficult..i focus on the tandooris, kabobs and curries and skip the naan, rice, roti..occasionaly i do have daal but maybe 1-2 spoons
