Ottawa?

[Moneca]

Any other low-carbers in Ottawa? I'd love to meet and swap low carb products.

Hi Moneca,

Welcome to our forum, glad you joined us!

For everyone's information, Moneca has either the first or one of the first (certainly before our site) Canadian low-carb sites.

I am a 22 year old femme from Ottawa. I am 5'2, and 150 lbs.

Chest=37 Waist=33 Hips=43

I was very active in highschool, I used to dance 3 hours a day and played sports...I was always busy, fit, healthy and very confidant.

My weight and measurements in 1999....

Chest=34 Waist=25 Hips=36 I weighed 110 lbs...if that.

I starting gaining weight my last year of highschool. I went from 110 to 117 one summer and then this year I went up to 155 I am at my highest.

The weight gain was caused by many things....the pill and a horrible boyfriend...family troubles(cancer) and low self esteem.

Now because of this change in me have bouts of depression and sadness and lack the drive and constant motivation that it takes to get to where I want to be. Back to health and confidance.

It is difficult also because family and friends as well of myself are all in denial no one seems to accept my physical change. They all pretend to not see it.

I have a great boyfriend...loves me very much and I love him but he too is slightly overweight and both of us have a hard time doing anything about it.

I have tried LC a few times with success but always stop for a number or ridiculous reasons....the latest was that it was to expensive. Which is very true. But should not have been an excuse...

I would like to become buddies with someone...to help keep each other in line...

Also I would like some info on the basic's of LC and what I should and should not be doing....

I have read Atkins so I know a fair bit but would like a veteran to help me.
