Hi there
losingincanada . . .

You've definitely come to a great place for lots of support as you travel the long winding road to better health and fitness. This is a big site, so have a good wander round and just jump in and start posting whenever something catches your eye. I know you will always receive a very warm welcome from everybody along the way.
I realize your not
exactly a Canuck but come on over and join us on The Crazy Canuks Cluck Club anyway. Here's a link to the current August thread . . .

Maybe we can help you become more familiar with your adopted country. In what part of the country are you living? I was born and raised in Toronto; lived a number of years in Kitchener/Waterloo (still in Ontario) and have been living in Nova Scotia for the past 13 years or so.
Anyway, Chickie . . . hope you have a great evening and I'll be looking forward to seeing you again really soon . . .
