So here I am, and I probally need alot if help

Edwina

Hi Edwina,

My name is Susan and I am from Halifax. I have been LCing since Oct 22, 2004. I am really hoping to get under 200 lbs this year.

Just one question . . . who glued you down and force fed you something that made you gain weight.

I'm across the water in Newfoundland, if that's any benefit.

I ask myself that question everyday. and I know the answer, me me me

I am originally from Newfoundland
The West Coast
Just outside of Stephenville

I am in Dartmouth, I work in Halifax so I am there everday...

Maybe we can encourage each other....I klnow we both can do and by the looks of it, your well on your way

WAY TO GO!!!

Hi there fellow Maritimers!

Glad to see some more of us on the boards. There has been a few over the last year that I have talked to.

I also live in Dartmouth but work in Halifax. I have been low-carbing with my wife since Feb 04.

You may want to think about starting a journal. It is a good place to keep track of whatever you feel needs tracking. Also it allows others to stop by and check up on you.

Take care, and lets make the Maritimes a little healthier in 2005!

WOW Chair...

Your weightloss is great...your the kind of inspiration I need to get me through. I am going to start a journal today.
Knowing your from the same city as me gives me hope, that even a maritimers appetite can suceed, cause I love my potatoes, especially sunday Dinner. But I am doing it and working hard to stay focused.
I will send a line if I need some help

Edwina

Wow, three of us in Halifax. Okay, when I am having a bad day at work and am ready to cheat... I am going to yell out the window hahahaha. Edwina get a journal started. It does help get you over the rough patches.

Susan

Hi everyone Im from Moncton N.B been L/C since april 19/04, feel great , lost close to 50pounds , did cheat over christmas, but Im back at it now .. Happy new year everyone !!!

Hey Everyone,

I will be yelling also. I am going to start a jornal today. I been so busy these last few days that the LC'ing has gone well. Now I am off work till Monday so I have more time to think about it. I will let you know when it is done.
I am so glad there are a few from Halifax, good support. Do either of you go to a gym?
My husband is military so I have many options around the area with good gyms at Shearwater, Stad, and Windsor Park. Just got to get my butt in there

Edwina

Hi There,

I've been low-carbing since Sept 04 and have lost about 25 pounds. I found it rough at first but am adjusting quite well. If you ever need an ear i'm around a few times a day.

Best of Luck!!

Hi everyone,
Wow this is great. I am from a little town about 120 km. from Halifax. This is pretty exciting to find so many others from N.S.
I am a backslider. I had lost 44 lbs. in 2000, but have recently regained 24. I started back on Atkins a week ago and have lost 2 pounds. I am finding it a little harder going this time- not in the right mindset yet. I am hoping that joining this forum will help with that. Pollyanna

Do and Polly, where are you from? Maybe we could plan a low carb picnic or something for the summer.

We should plan on meeting and doing something sounds great. My hubby is in the Navy this year he will be away alot. Starting with 7 weeks at the end of the month.
Going to be alittle harder on me, nobody to vent on

Well I am off to work now...

I will get a jornal started this weekend.

Edwina, so we can keep in touch that way also

Any of you go to curves, I am joining this week....
I think the extra exercise is going to help tremendousely since I have a sit down job
