Default Low Carb Support Group in Calgary?

Does anyone know if there is a low carb support group in Calgary, AB? Would anyone be interested in starting one up if there is not? I've been on low-carb for about 6 months now but the last month I've fallen off the wagon! I thought it would be great if there was a group meeting of people who could support eachother through this process.

Would anyone be interested in something like this?

Maybe we could all take over a coffee shop once a week and get the chance to meet and support eachother - drop me a note if anyone is interested!

Hey, DigitalGrl, half a page down in THIS very forum is a conversational thread called "Any Calgarians Out There?"... I bet you find some Calgary LCers in there....

Hi Digitalgrl, I'm in Calgary and would be interested in a LC support group. I think meeting for coffee is a great idea. I don't know if I could make it once a week though, once every few weeks is probably what my schedule would allow. Anyway, pls let me know if you get something going. Looking forward to meeting you and Jan. Take care.

Cool Dewdrop, JaniceB, and JanC

Sorry I missed coffee last night! I had to work a little later than expected, got there at 10:20pm and I guess you'd already finished up.

Next time, though!!

Janice

Default Meeting up

Is anyone still interested in going for coffee?
I got a bit side tracked recently and joined Jenny Craig with a friend!!

Boy did I learn my lesson! I did lose some weight, but I was hungry all the time and the weight loss was painfully slow.
(not to mention $$$)

Let me know if you all are meeting up for coffee somwhere.

We did get together earlier in the fall and I tried to let you know, but couldn't reach you.

I am in the contacting the Calgary folks who have contacted me. I think there are 6 or 7 now. Our first get together there was only three. Hopefully we can set a date, time and place within the next week or so.

I can't pm you since you don't have enough posts. If you set up a journal I can contact you through that. We aren't allowed to post email adress on the forums.

Talk to you again soon.

Jan

Default Found Atkins Bake Mix

Hey fellow Calgarians, just wanted to let you guys know I found Atkins Bake Mix at Super Drug Mart, in McKenzie Towne where I live...it was $19.99 (HOLY SMOKES, I know) but I fought some to try. Maybe if there is a Super Drug near you they will have it.
I also posted this in the Low Carb Yellow Pages.
