in Introduce Yourself
I am open to all folks, but looking for some Canadian friends on a similar path, or who have already been there, done that and are ready to help. It's just that alot of the foods folks talk about seem to be USA products, and yes our food is different here. I mostly try to eat whole foods, and am trying to replace some meat with Tofu (that's it's own story)... but mostly I am looking for friends who will actually check in, comment, share and be active in this journey, not just someone looking to just add to their "friends count"..... I am 45, and my current goal is to lose 65lbs, but I hope to eventually lose a full 100.

    Montreal ex-pat, living in Toronto for the last 23 years. Starting weight 254, currently 177.6, trying to make it to 130. I can help with ovo-lacto vegetarian options. I'd say I eat mostly nutrient-dense foods, but don't have a problem with veggie convenience options like Yves or Gardein.

    Hi Dan, nice to 'meet' you. I certainly am more on the receiver than the giver of advice, but happy to share the experience with those would want to tackle this challange together.

    Hi. I'm Dianne from Milton, Ontario. I want to loose about 75 pounds- a Dr. recommended this APP & it's certainly been helpful. I've only been at it about two- three weeks, so not much advise yet. Nice to "meet you" & good luck on your journey-to all.

    Hello! I'm from outside of Toronto and know firsthand that this app works because I managed to lose over 60 pds about 6 years ago (which I've rediscovered after some pretty stressful life events). I'm back at it and hoping to lose between 80-100 pds.

    Please feel free to add me. I love the support that this site offers to those of us who need it.
