Overcast so far today, although the weather forecasters say sun and warmer than yesterday I'm going to be playing around with the new TV anyway, so I really don't care. So far I managed to get the old 27" so-called-portable of it's stand and into an-out- of-the-way corner pending the arrival of someone strong enough to actually move it. After I run around 3FC for a bit, I'll go and get the new one in from the garage . . . think I can actually handle it . . . which is one of the reasons I wanted a flat-panel in the first place. Got a 27" LCD which is HDTV ready at a pretty reasonable $500 (WalMart; an unknown brand called Ilio), of course, it probably won't last as long as the old RCA clunker it is replacing, but at the rate technology changes, longevity is no longer a really big issue. That's about the only thing on my agenda for the day . . . hope I can get everything hooked together properly.
Here's a little suggestion to help tame the Chocolate- Mix a couple of rounded teaspoons of Splenda and a rounded teaspoon of cocoa into a cup of plain, low fat yogurt. Works for me. Almost as good . . . have some FF/SF jello chocolate pudding made with skim milk. I like the yogurt better, and it's healthier too.
Anyway, gang . . . I wish you each a wonderful moving and shaking kind of day and hope your weather is better than 'seasonal' . . . see you later.
Hi there... newbie here. I'm glad I found this corner for Canadians as 3fc can be overwhelming. I'm in Richmond Hill, Ontario. Been battling with my weight up and down almost my whole life. Anyway i lost 80 lbs from Oct 2005 and reached my goal in June 2006. Maintained ok for a while but slowly I regained 13 lbs. So now I'm being more careful as I am going to get back to goal. Have a great day everyone.
Its me again... can someone tell me how to find this group from the home page as I found it through the new posts section but I can't see it anywhere else. I must be just missing it somewhere.
Thanks, Sandilee
BF and I got out for a walk last night, and it felt REALLY good, both mentally and physically. We were joking around lots, and I had tons of energy. It was a beautiful night out, too (+8). We had a pretty (okay, very) tough fall and winter and it's nice to be able to hang together and laugh again (we live together). We stopped in at the Running Room and looked at shoes. I'm going to start running next week, and once I get through the C25K program, I'm going to treat myself to a new pair of shoes.
Hope everyone's having a great Tuesday! I have had the hiccups for the last hour, and I'm going slightly batty!

Hi SANDILEE . . . welcome to our group and . You have definitely come to the right place, chickie
. . . okay, to answer your question . . . about how to get here from the Home Page . . .
Take a look at the navigation bar (the purple stripe) across the top of the home page . . . run your curser over Community and you will get a drop down menu . . . click on Forum . . . and you will go to a very long list of forums . . . scroll down a little bit and you will see Support Groups . . . click there and then scroll down past the lengthy list of sub-forums and you will come to three or four items marked with a red word "sticky". We are one of those. then follow the directions from Canadian Mom as to how to subscribe to the forum. Once you are subscribed, you will be able to access CRAZY CANUKS by clicking on User CP at the top of any forum page and that will tell you if there are nw posts in any of the places you are subscribed. It really is easier to do than it is to describe . . . thankfully . . .
Hi all,
Welcome to all the new folks!!
Well it’s a beautiful day the sun is shining and the sky is blue for as far as you can see. Although it was freezing cold this morning -20.Brrrrrr Can’t wait for spring to come hopefully it’s soon. Cabin fever is setting in……
Well I hope everyone is doing well and staying op.
Will try and stop in later.
HI folks! quick note from the nish... what a nice day! Finally got a hold of a vacuum cleaner and did a number on my room. Now I'm all ready for BF coming home... tomorrow!!!!!!! So excited. Managed to stay OP with the food today too, although I am hardcore craving some snackage. Chocolate! Really want some chocolate. Sigh.
Kind of nervous about tomorrow too... haven't seen him since New Year's! I've got butterflies I will be back in a few days!
Thanks for the info...Meowee i've printed out the directions and thanks to Canadian mom and Ilene for the tips. ( scrolled through the new post again to find you guys...had to go far back too) SusanB - I'm jumping over to look at featherweights...thanks. It was a beautiful day here - warm and sunny, SusanB it is definitely time to start thinking salad
Have a great evening

Another beautiful Spring day in Atlantic Canada . . . cold, windy, rainy . . . hope the predicted snow doesn't materialize . . . Well, I've lost another magnificent .4 of a pound in only two weeks. I know, I know . . . I should stop complaining . . . at least the movement is in the proper downward direction . . . but it just gets soooooo tiresome sometimes. Oh well, I'll just keep putting one foot slowly in front of the other foot and eventually it will all pay off.
On a slightly more upbeat note . . . I am in love with my new TV. It is so much lighter (only about 30 pounds) and even full sun streaming in all ten windows in my family room yesterday afternoon did not even phase the picture quality . . . exactly what I was hoping for. The only problem yet to solve . . . can't get a DVD to work . . . I get sound just fine (as long as the video cable is not plugged in; then I get static that drowns out the sound) but no picture. Guess I'll try a new video connection. All my exercise stuff is on DVD and I've only got VCR downstairs, so I need to get this thing working . . . Buddy Ball and the Frog are really missing me.
Anyway, must get moving along . . . hope everybody has a a great moving and shaking kind of day . . . keep on keeping on, gang . . . see you soon.
Gorgeous sunny bright day in Eastern Ontario... Just back from a good back and bicep workout , I feel good ...
I took the day off work today because later this afternoon we are taking DD and 4 friends to a Taste of Chaos concert in Ottawa... They have a great time at those concerts ...
Other thant that, same ole, same ole, pretty boring stuff...
