Hi, finally the weekend and time to really read the forum.

* Board name and real world name --- Sharon
* Age and SEX --- 46/F
* LC Start date --- July '00,
* Married, single, other --- single
* City, County /Hemisphere --- Owen Sound, Ont., Canada
* Occupation --- Administration, Provincial Government
* Kids, pets, pests --- 1 - son first year University of Guelph, 1 - daughter grade 12, 1 - lazy high maintenance Himalyan kitty "Dusty", 1 - Low Carb, low maintenance "High School Teacher" Boyfriend (not sure if he falls in the pets, or pest definition)
* Current Low Carb status --- losing inches, especially at the waist and hips, but not a lot of pounds, my summer clothes all feel very different; infact I have a couple outfits that I bought last year that I may have to alter smaller. ..would like to lose 10 more pounds according to the scale. I low carb mainly to look after my blood sugar, so I expect to lose weight much slower. Most of the time I eat at a maintenance level of carbs, so I know if I want to lose weight faster, I'll have to drop my daily carbs. Most who know me always say I don't need to lose weight, BUT, these folks haven't seen me in the shower!!!

AND FOR FUN........

* Favourite low carb food --- bacon and eggs or salad
* Favourite non-low carb food --- Chocolate
* Food you can't live without on Low carb --- Kay's Low Carb Bread Recipe..(not sure how I survived before I got this recipe from Kay).
* Favorite type of exercise --- walking, running up and down the office steps (15) hundred times a day (just kidding, but sometimes it seems I do), I cut a big lawn, have flower gardens, shovel my own snow...in general a lot of "mother nature" projects, after which I usually head to my hot tub on my deck. I sometimes do a gym program (machines), usually in the winter.
* If you could be paid for the thing you most like to do what would it be? --- I'd love to be the hostess with the mostess...and make people's day...make them smile, so that they in turn could smile back at someone...and then make their day. I'd like a job that requires very little responsibility and somedays a no brainer, one I could go home and forget about at night, that's if this type of job exists??
* Person you'd most like to meet currently living --- there's too many to mention (Doreen, Curtis Joseph, Tinakaye, Rachel, Curtis Joseph, Kay, Wa'il, Curtis Joseph, Karen, NNN, and did I mention Curtis Joseph, DebbieDobson) (these are just a few) (((Since posting this in May I did get to meet Debbie and Doreen at our summer Toronto get together....what a treat))))
* What are you currently reading --- not reading a novel at the present time - heck I can't keep up with the forum right now, let alone start a novel!!
* What's your favourite movie --- The Gladiator
* Just anything else you'd like to share ---"All we need most days is a little sun, a little fun and someone to love".....

The thing I'd like to be doing in 10 years - "Retired, lazing on some Caribbean Beach, with some gorgeous hunk"....(Heck, who I am trying to kid, I'd like to be doing that now!!)

Question Am I too late?

*Board name and real name(surprise!); Andi
*Age/Sex/Status; I'm a 31 year-old single female
*Location; Wisconsin
*LC Start Date; Gulp, ummmm...May29th, 2001 (just stocked up!)
*Occupation; pre-school teacher
* Kids, pets,pests; Dog named Nick.... a fat, drooling cat who snores and is aptly named Porky...and a big double chinned sassy white Bunny I seem to have adopted from one of my kids!.... I have a bunch of rug-rats I call "my kids", but fortunately for me they don't follow me home

*Current low carb status; Say....Are the fairys still whooshing?

AND FOR FUN.....
*Favorite low-carb food; I'm sure I'll find one soon
*Favorite non-low carb food; Does milk count? If not- chocolate's been a good friend to me

*Favorite type of exercise; If I did, I think it would be swimming

*If you could be paid to do the thing you most like to do what would it be; Learning about anything and everything if I couldn't be a pre-school teacher

* Person you would most like to meet currently living; If not Ben, then definitely Jerry

*Just anything else you'd like to share; Let's see...I'm just now beginning to have those "A ha!" moments that define who I am. I have an insatiable curiosity, and I've never thought about just "nothing". I love my job and "my kids". I travel lots, and would love to go back to Jamaica. Since about October 2000 I've been doing lots of inner-work on myself, and I'm currently trying to figure out just how these people can actually meditate! I still get excited for each and every holiday, and I'm still a kid at heart
