Hi Everyone,

My name is Stacey and I am a 34 year old single female from Ontario Canada. I have decided this is my year to get fit and healthy and to do that I would love to make a new friend/support buddy. I have just over 100 pounds that I would like to lose but will start off with mini goals such as just getting into a smaller size......now wouldn't that be a treat!? *LOL* I hope also to be a great support friend also!
Hope to hear from you..........and you!

Stacey

Hi Stacey! There are lots of Canadians here and you are welcome too.
Have a read around. There is so much to learn here and lots of supportive folks.
Have you decided what kind of a food or activity plan you're going to use?

Hi Susan,

Thank you for the welcome! I am not really doing a particular diet as per say but trying just for lower fat intake, and having one "cheat day" a week. It has worked for me before.....its just a matter of me sticking to it! I bought an exercise bike which I plan on using as much as possible, I really wanted a treadmill but that cost too much! Blah! *LOL*

I'd love a treadmill too. But as you say $$$$.
Have you had a look at the recipes and nutrition sections?

I haven't had a chance to yet....my big problem is I am a picky eater, half the time I never like what is in most of the recipies! But of course I am never picky when it comes to junk food or chocolate, go figure! I will check it out though thank you for the suggestion!
What kind of diet plan are you following? Congrats on the weight loss you have had to date!

I'm an old fashioned calorie counter. And when I'm being good, I do whatever exercise I feel like, walking mostly. I love weights, but they are also easy to ignore. I just close the door to the room they're in

I am the worst walker...........I think it dates back to when I was younger and my fit sister and I would go for walks together......ok she would be a mile ahead but she called it walking together *LOL* So ever since then I have hated walking.....or I go with my mom who is slow like me!
I put my bike in the basement so I wouldn't use it as a hanging rack for my clothes, not that I have done that before.........*ahem* haha

I had my real bike out on Friday but it got snowed on yesterday, so it's in the shed again!
I wonder if you'd like to have a look at some of the sections here at 3fc that I enjoy.
