Hi Karon, welcome to 3FC! We have a lot of Canadians around, we're glad to have one more We'll be glad to help support you and hopefully help you lose weight. Are you currently on a diet?

Hi Karon!

Welcome!

This is a FANTASTIC site! The people here are SO supportive, and it seems that no matter what question that someone has, SOMEBODY knows the answer!

One of our big losers here, Robin, got me interested in tracking my calories on Fitday. I had been on this awful EIGHT MONTH plateau and really needed a boost! Fitday is free and you can track your calories and exercise there. I have been able to lose TEN POUNDS since the end of January when I began using Fitday! I was able to plan my eating much better by using it and monitor my nutrition, too!

Here's the site if you would like to check it out!

Hi KARON . . .

Welcome to our world from a fellow Canadian . . . I'm originally from Ontario -- born and raised in Toronto as a matter of fact . . . but have been living down east for about 12 years now.

You have definitely taken an important first step on the long winding road to better health and fitness by finding 3FC. The support around here is truly amazing. It's a very big place, so take your time and have a good look around. Whenever something catches your eye, feel free to just jump right in and start posting. I know you will receive a warm welcome wherever you may wander around here.

When you get a chance be sure to drop by our Canadian Support thread in the Support Groups Forum. We hope it will become one of your regular spots of the community. Here is a link . . . http://www.3fatchicks.com/forum/showthread.php?t=106341 Come on over and tell us about yourself. Look forward to seeing you there.

Hope you have a great moving and shaking kind of day, Chickie. See you soon.

Hi and welcome!
You can probably lose weight without changing what you are eating now. Fitday.com is a free site where you can enter all your intake. Learn to measure as you scoop out your helping of whatever you're eating. You'll soon learn more about the nutrient content of your food and then we'll help you make slimmer choices!

Hi Karon!!

I just joined today also, and I also am not at this moment on a diet! However, I will be starting low carb tomorrow. I've had the most success with low carb in the past, but got bored and got bad. I'm hoping this time to go more the way of South Beach, which seems more balanced and easier to sustain.

I also did Weight Watchers about 15 years ago and had good success -- I was the thinnest of my adult life -- but again I got bored.

I love food and cooking so much, it's hard to stick to anything for any length of time... I also like my cocktails and happy hour. So that doesn't always help!

But here I am again... I'm ready to start again and give it another shot. I find it funny I was able to quit smoking 10 years ago, but I'm still struggling with food.

Good luck to you and talk to you on the forums!

Best wishes,
Karin

Hi again . . .

Just wanted to let you know we also have a "Dieting with Obstacles" Forum you might want to take a look at. I know it can be really helpful to chat with others who understand some of the extra challenges you are facing.

Here's a link for you . . . http://www.3fatchicks.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=14
