Hi from Ontario, Canada
 

Hello fellow members, I'm brand new here today, I seen the website in a magazine and thought I would give it a look and here I am. My doctor said I have to loose some weight and not to use much salt, or no salt, you all know what that means, "high blood pressure", and I'm only 41. So I guess its time to take my health to heart. As with a lot of people I have tried everything, and I hate dieting, but now I have to, for my sake, and for my family's sake.
So I've jumped on the band wagon, and this time I'm gonna do it, my next doctors appointment is early next month, and I hope to have lost between 5 and 10 pounds by then. Wish me luck!:carrot: :carrot: :dust:

Hello and welcome to another Canadian!

You can probably lose weight without changing what you are eating now. Fitday.com is a free site where you can enter all your intake. Learn to measure as you scoop out your helping of whatever your family is eating. You'll soon learn more about the nutrient content of your food and then we'll help you make slimmer choices!

:wel3fc: You'v come to the right place! This site is great for motivation and information. I also use fitday, it's very helpful. You can do this ! Welcome and good luck.

Hello to another Canadian ...
 

:welcome: ... Razz ... you will love it here; we do. You'll will find lots of ideas and support here. We are all in the same boat and on the same journey here. My blood pressure and blood sugar were getting too high; and my health was suffering terribly.

I HAVE TO lose the weight and that's it; this is about good health and quality of life for me as well. My blood pressure and sugars are already back inside the normal range and that's just from eating balanced meals, and getting more regular exercise. Glad you joined us ~ a fellow Canadian encourager ... Rosebud. :hug:

PS ... there's a Canadian gang in the SUPPORT GROUP, in the RED STICKY called SUPPORTIVE CANADIANS; drop by and say hi sometime.
