I'm 5'3'' and currently at about 192 pounds. I gained a lot of weight when I got out of school due to the lack of walking everywhere, also.. I'd like the blame birth control and poor food choices.
I work about 50 hours a week, on my feet, pretty well no breaks involved.. and yet I wasn't losing any weight. After trying many different things, my boyfriend and I both decided LA Weight Loss was the way to go.
His mother has been doing it and has lost over 50 pounds since May, so her experience with it was definitely motivation to give it a try.
Anyways, I hope the boards help!

Hi there KERRI . . . You have come to a great place for lots of support while you travel the road to better health and fitness. It is so wonderful that you and your BF are doing this together. It will surely make it much easier for both of you -- at least I certainly hope so . . .

Just to let you know . . . there is a very active LAWL Forum here at 3FC . . . here's a link . . . http://www.3fatchicks.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=171

And also . . . here's a link to our Crazy Canuks Cluck Club . . . http://www.3fatchicks.com/forum/showthread.php?t=124034 . . . hope you'll be joining us over there as well.

Where are you in Nova Scotia? I'm in Pictou although I am 'from away'. Born and raised in Toronto as a matter of fact. Just one more 'uppity Canadian', that finally managed to find her way down east.

Have a great day, Chickie . . . hope to see you soon.

Hello, Canada! I used to share a border with ya'all when I lived in Minne-soda but now I am down here in Dixie. If you think dieting is hard in the Great North, try living here where the food is so gosh darn good, it's maddening!! If I only had a clone!

Good luck and glad to hear from you. Get comfortable and let your fingers do the walking.

Hey, Meowee. My mum's from the New Glasgow area. We just spent 2 weeks on the South Shore and in NB. We'd so love to be able to buy a wee piece of land out there. So beautiful.

Hi Starryeyes,
Wecome to another Canuck! This is such a great site for support. I'm in Ontario. I live in Mississauga which is just west of Toronto. Good luck with the program. I've been on it for about 7 weeks now and love it. So far I've found it to be a very sensible program that allows you to still enjoy life as it comes.

Too funny, cause I actually grew up in River John but now I live in Halifax.
So, I've been at it for two weeks, but haven't weighed myself yet, I don't wanna know, I want it to be a bit more than 2 pounds, for motivation..
It's quite hard for me, as I'm a supervisor in a pizza place, yeah.. it's like the ultimate test 10 hours a day, 5-6 days a week. I barely ever get to stop down there, was just wondering if anyone had any good, quick.. on-the-go kind of snack suggestions?
