Hey there!
I live in PA but close to the NJ border. Dan lives in NJ so I spend a lot of time here--actually I am here now!! Welcome to the board!

I live in Maryland now, but spent 6 wonderful years in Smithville (Atlantic County) and I really miss it at times. Loved living near the ocean. NJ's not nearly the armpit everyone thinks it is...I lived in a very pretty area.

Good luck with your program!

I'm a jersey girl, temporarily partying my way through college in north carolina. After I'm done busting my ~$$, I will return to jersey with a Bachelors (woo-hoo). Three years have past since moving and everytime I go back to visit my friends and family, I appreciate jersey more and more.

The beach, the cities, the clubs, the parks, the malls, etc. Access to everything, and all different types of people. That's just my kind of place! I'm proud to call jersey my home. Not to mention jersey girls have a reputation for being the hottest around... that's what all the guys down here say anyway! .. hehe!

If there are any other college students, or anyone really, from jersey trying to get used to the low-carb way of life, send me an e-mail. I would love to get a support system going. Best of luck, love, and much laughter.

I was born in Teaneck, lived in Bergenfield, Park Ridge, Toms River and now I live in Lavallette. I lived in California for 13 years(military) and just moved back here in 95 and there is no place like home. :D

In Elizabeth. The armpit is one township below us in Linden. We have lived here in Elizabeth for over 11 years, and expect to stay for many more. My son is in the Elizabeth Public School system and is doing as well as he could in any other school (this is a plug for a much maligned school system). Love your picture/cat.

I recently moved from NYC to Bergen Co. as well! Just bought our first house in New Milford (moving 5/31....yikes! I gotta pack) Just started WOE as well, after the birth of my son. GO NJ NETS. (converted Knicks fan: )

NJ is a large place, for being such a small state! ;-)

I'm in Passaic Co., just west of Bergen and not so far south of Upstate NY. Getting a NJ group together is fine, but it's a bib place for such a small state!

Hi there -- nice to hear from you!

I am not a native to the area, but have lived here since 1995. I work in Wayne and live in West Milford. I guess this is in relation to support groups and buddying and all that? I am not sure what being an LC buddy means, but I think my original post made the point that it made sense to buddy up with someone in the same area so we can talk about shared products and stores, etc. If you are up to buddying, I am --

Cheers -- Robert

Hi SummerYet:

We are in the Elmora section of Elizabeth, and my son is in Reilly Middle School. I am active in the entire Gifted and Talented program for the Elizabeth school system. That program covers Mravlag Elementary, Halloran Elementary and Reilly Middle Schools. If you have time, send me an e-mail at chairgteliz~earthlink.net

Are any of you guys/gals still around? I see that there hasn't been a post for a few months...I'm new to this site, and would love to meet some fellow Lowcarbers from NJ. I'm in Hunterdon County...Central Jersey.

I Hope to see some new action on the Jersey Threads. My fingers are crossed.
:D

Hi --

Nice to hear from you -- I live in North Jersey, allll the way North.

Welcome to the forum --

[Tarzan]

Thanks for the welcome - this site is very friendly and informative...
I'll be sticking around :D

What do you mean armpit? Jersey is great!
Anyway, I live by the shore.
Good Luck to you! :wave:

What do you mean armpit? Jersey is great!

Who'd ever have thought that I'd agree, but I do. Before I moved here seven years ago the only part of NJ I'd ever been to was that section of wasteland between NYC and Newark, so I had the same vision of it that everyone else does: an armpit.

But I live in hills (people around here call them mountains, but those of us from the west know better!) of northern Jersey. It is beautiful here -- lakes and hills and wildlife. There are several farms in the area, and we have wild bear, turkey, and deer in the neighborhood.

AND a short drive leaves us in the Greenwich Village or the Upper West Side. Who could ask for more? In twenty minutes we can be at two of our favorite kayaking lakes, and in 40 I can be in the biggest city in the country.

Armpit? You decide!

Cheers --

Small world. I live right next to Highlands!
I agree...the parks and the ocean is what I love most about NJ. All states have their own "bad areas". I love NJ!
