Hi Everyone I'm new to this

Hi I'm relatively new to this, and absolutely love this site. I'd like to meet up with some people in my area Oakville/Burlington, Ontario Canada, who are working on their weight and fitness goals. Let's encourage each other to succeed!

Hi there neighbour! I just joined this site, and live in Oakville! Small world! I think it would be great to get a group together and support and encourage each other! Please feel free to friend me on this site! Cheers

Hi Pat, nice to meet you. Getting a group together sounds like a good idea. I love this site, I joined on Oct. 13th and have lost 10 lbs so far. The best thing about it is that it's free, better than weight watchers, and you can meet others for support who are going thru the same thing. I have my mind made up and I am determined to succeed this time. I moved here from Edmonton, so I don't know a lot of people in Oakville. I grew up in Scarborough and when I got married, the X got transferred to Edmonton, so I moved with him and lived there 7 years. When my marriage ended I came back to Ontario and settled in Oakville because my mom is close by in Burlington, and so is my sister with her husband. I live with my son who is 14, and I also have a 16 yr old daughter who stayed in Edmonton to live with her dad. I had brain surgery on August 5/10 for a rare condition called Chiari 1 Malformation, and I'm still recovering. I am unable to do workouts, but I can walk, and enjoy doing that. My condition did not affect my mental capacity, I'm OK there, what it did do was affect me neurologically with body aches and pains as well as chronic fatigue, and migraines; since the surgery my chronic fatigue and migraines have gone, but I still get the occasional aches and pains, sort of like fibromyalgia. Other than that, I'm fine, I have a positive attitude and I'm raring to go. I am so looking forward to a new me, back to my thin self again. Thank you again for the friend request, I look forward to getting to know you. By the way I live near Hopedale Mall. I am eating healthy, except for the occasional Halloween candy cheats, and you can see my food list, if interested. Thanks and best wishes, jennie.
