Hi! New to the site. Came through the site via WLS Friends. Highly recommended. I am looking for someone in the San Bernadino County (Chino,CA) area to help with some of the weight loss issues that can occur when losing weight. (the usual) Thanks and good luck to everyone

Welcome Karen!!

We have people from all over the world who post here and I'm sure that there is someone in your area...just need to keep searching. I'm from Oregon and have managed to find two girls who are just hours away from me! And I'm hoping to meet them soon.

I hope you get a chance to browse around and get to know some people, this place is great for support if you don't find someone in your area to communicate w/in person. Being able to come on here and just jot down everything such as feelings, how your day went, what you've eaten in the day and so on...has really helped me.

Good luck and I hope to hear more from you!! And once again "Welcome!"

hi karen! welcome to the board!

Hello. My name is Joanne. Three years ago I utilized this site to help with my weight loss efforts. Unfortunately, despite the tremendous advise and encouragement for the various threads that I "chatted" with, I was unsuccessful in losing any significant amount weight. In February of 2004 I discovered the low-carb craze. I've since lost thirty pounds, found TONS of energy, and said good-bye to my persistant insomnia.

Is any one else on this thread giving low-carb a try? How are you doing? Would you like to exchange recipes?

My biggest obstacle is exercise. Since changing jobs this past fall, I've lost my time/inclincation to walk or ride my exercise bike. My family and friends are trying to help me get back on track. Even our vet is trying to help by making me feel guilty for not taking my dog for enough walks and putting his health at risk.

I really can't "chat" too much right now but I'll come back later to see how you are all doing.

Have a great day!

from one newbie to another hi!!! Im no where near ca ( but have heard about chino through the OC ) NIce to meet ya!
