I lost 87 pounds in 8 months in 2003 and have moved across Canada and began a new life and recently got married too. With all that being said I have gained 40 pounds since the move and hate the way I look. It is affecting my self esteem etc. I have started the trek back to the previous weight and in the last week have lost 8 pounds. Would love to have someone as a buddy so that we could encourage one another.
Thanks
Patti

I am just eating healthy and adding some daily exercise to my day. Getting outside more and enjoying life and my family. How about you?

Hey Patti fellow canuck here

I live in Barrie, ontario would be interested in buddying up as well I have also gained and lost. I did the Atkins about 3yrs ago lost about 50lbs pretty easily but have gained back quite a bit almost all of it. I did lose 30 last year but once again gained it back. So I know I can do it but man its hard sometimes. Now I have premenopause to deal with too I think and believe its been an obsticale these past few months. Also sugars have gone up and iron low sooooooooooooo where the heck to I start lol...I'm going to try the GI diet have been testing the waters for the past 2 weeks and believe I can get a handle on this. So hey if you would like we can email or just post here if you would like. It's nice to have the support thats for sure.

Have great day
Wendy
