Awesome time!!

Once I get my own computer up & running, I'll post the couple of pictures I took - got so distracted by the great food and great company that I forgot to keep snapping!

(Unfortunately, we all dug into Karen's yummy concoction so quickly that I only have a picture of the last leftover piece! )

Great to see you all!

Hi guys!
I apologize for not coming out to the meet-up. Family emergency prevailed, but I hope to attend the next one.

I thoroughly enjoyed myself! It was great to meet Teresa, Malvene and Maggie and to see the "oldbies" again, too Karen made us a chocolate almond bread pudding with chocolate sauce and whipped cream for dessert! It was heavenly! She is such a doll to treat us every time - I've almost got a guilty conscience. Thanks again, Karen

Unfortunately, my camera malfunctioned (I donno why but will experiment with a new battery pack) and I only got one picture.... Will post it tomorrow evening, since I have to get up WAY TOO EARLY tomorrow to fiddle with it now - especially after fiddling with the stupid camera for half an hour already!

Had a great time! Everybody at work commented on what a good mood I was in

Kudos to Karen for the AWESOME dessert! I just had a few bites of my extra piece---mmmmm!

Really enjoyed meeting some new fellow LCers and of course, meeting up with the usual suspects

Take care,
Nicole

ps--going to the LC dinners always gives me a boost of motivation and I thank all of you for that!!

As one of the new comers, I would like to thank everyone for being so kind and welcoming. It was a thoroughly delightful evening. I feel like I met 9 strangers for dinner and left with 9 new friends.
The food was fabulous, the dessert was absolutely delicious (thanks Karen), the company superb, and I also got a great shot of re-enforcement for sticking to this WOL. My expectations of continued weight loss have been renewed. Thank you all.
Cheers
Malvene

It was great meeting you all!!! As others pointed out, food was delicious, Karen's bread pudding was excellent, and the company was fantastic.
I feel like I have the motivation I had when I first started low carbing.
thanks,
maggie

Unhappy So sorry I missed it!!

Thanks for organizing. Unfortunately, its RRSP season and DH is extremely busy. I haven't seen him in weeks.

I fell during one of my workouts and was flat on my back yesterday so I forgot to post that I couldn't come. I have been haven't a lot of problems with coordination lately. I am better now, nicely medicated and on ice. I will be functioning fine by Thursday.

Let's plan for the next one and I will be sure to get it on the calendar.

I've been wracking my brain for possible locations for our next get together... Someone mentioned that maybe Burnaby (Metrotown/Middlegate area) might be sort of the halfway point. There is Vassilis Souvlaki, near Royal Oak, if we want Greek again or Milestones on Lougheed and Gilmore (HUGE salads there), Sammy J Peppers on Kingsway... Any other ideas?
