Hi there! This day marks the beginning of (another) weight loss journey for me. I browsed this forum looking for some inspiration and guess what, I found it.

I read a couple of different posts that said in order to be successful, you have to take the emotion out of it. Instead of letting "feelings" take over, take control and do what needs to be done. Treat it like a job. That is what I am going to do!!

So here I am. I would love an email buddy for encouragement and accountability. If you're interested please message me.

Hey Cdn Carebear -

There are tons of groups you can settle into for encouragement and accountability...we have groups by plan or by age group (20-somethings, 30-somethings, etc), so find a spot and get to posting.

Can't wait to get to know you better...stick around!

Hi carebear!

I like you have embarked on many weight loss journeys but I am sure this one is different. I have been here since the middle of january and have had great success.

This board is great for inspiration and support so come and post often!!

Do you know what type of plan you are going to do?
I am basically doing my own thing: low cal, low carb, portion control.

I would be happy to be your buddy it seems like we started at similar weights and have similar goals!! I'm here for the long haul!!

Thanks for the welcome.
I'm not in Toronto, sorry. I actually was until a couple of months ago. I moved to a smaller community a couple hours away.

Hi and welcome!

It is snowing like mad in our little community a few hours from Toronto. It's one of those days I'm glad I have 3FC to browse around. I'm certainly not going for a walk tonight! Reading here will keep me focussed instead.

Welcome to the forum!
I hope it's not as cold there as it is here. -26C with the windchill this morning.

Hope you love it here as much as the rest of us do.

Pretty cold and sunny down here, too.
