Okay, bonjour is the only french that I actually know!

23 years old, live in Toronto. Just want to say hello! I am doing a calorie counting type diet. I am eating roughly 1400~ cals a day and exercising about 1k-1.2k (depending on the day)

I started this journey yesterday and I was at 176.6 and I am looking to get to 140 before the end of the summer. It is approx 5 lbs a month. If I can get there faster, that is an added bonus, but if I make it by the end of August, I will be smiling all the way to the mall =]

The reason why I am dieting is because when I was going to college, I was down to 155 or so but when I moved to Toronto, there was a lot of bad influences (wings, nachoes, pubs, movies.. omg the treats!) so I gained 20 lbs in 1 y and 5 months... So I am looking to fix that =]

If you guys have any adivce for me (if I need to up my calories, or lower, exercise more... etc) I would love to hear it! I am all ears!!

Oh and How the heck to I make a counter? those are so fun! =]

KALIKAT ~ nice to have another Canadian join in this wonderful place. Your plan sounds pretty good since you aren't that heavy. We have a 20-Something group you might like to visit as well as Calorie-Counters section too! We have a Canadian thread in the Support Group Section as well. I think you have to post so many times before you can put up a ticker (30, I think), but then you go up to USER CP at the top left-hand corner and the instruction for adding a signature are in there. Best wishes on your new journey; come back and post often ...

Hey Kali -

Tickers are restricted to users who've been here for at least 20 days and made at least 20 posts, due to spam problems. Stick around and you'll get yours in no time!

You may want to check out our "Calorie Counters" forum, or the "20-somethings", for those in that age range. There are lots of other miscellaneous spots, challenges, and other things to explore, so look around.

Can't wait to get to know you better!

salut from a northern manitoban. all the best!

Ya, when I am into something, I ten to do a lot of posting... so expect me to be a familiar face around these parts!!

I have checked out the Calorie Counting board already and posted in the thread, but I will definately check out the 20 boards and the CANADIAN board wewt wewt!!! =]

20 days, I might even be below my mini goal! =]

Bonjour Maddam!
I'm in Hamilton

Welcome!!
