    Hi Eliahart, I'm brand new on this site and I live in Ontario. I really like this site so far. I'm really excited about finally being able to be more structured in weight loss.

    Hi Sue :)

    I'm crazy about running, so most of my exercise I get by running outdoors 3-4 times a week. I also joined a group fitness class, which is a lot of fun. And when I do have days where I don't feel like going out, I have a little "Wii Fit" time. I've heard great things about the Shred DVD by Jillian Michaels, so I may get a used copy of that, too :)

    I'm very happy to meet all of you!

    Hi Sue from Susan

    I have an elliptical at home and a gym right next door to my office (only $30.00 per month for seniors) So luckily I don't have to go outside.

    Hello,

    I live in Sudbury, Ontario. It's seriously frigid here these days, so I mostly get into Gold's Gym Cardio Workout for Wii. It's good times :) I'm just starting out as well. Good luck!

    I'm from Toronto, though I'm in Puerto Rico until the spring. Decided to skip the winter this year :D

    I try to swim around three times a week and have recently started doing yoga every day. I think this site is great, it's helped me stay on track a lot since I joined back in November.

    Awesome to see so many Canadians around!

    Abbychick - wow, someone from my hometown. That's awesome! Good luck with working out, I hope it's not as cold "back home" as it is here in Kingston, Ontario.

    Eliaheart - nice to chat with you again. I have the Jillian Michaels Shred DVD. It's as brutal as she is on TV. I stopped trying for now at least of doing the DVD. I need to work up my strength and stamina to do that DVD.

    On January 2nd I officially started the "Flat Belly Diet" by Prevention Magazine. I'm on day 3 now. I started off with doing the "4 Day Anti-Bloat Jumpstart". I am being cautious when I say this, my belly does not look as bloated as it has been. I weighed myself this morning after that discovery. I have dropped 4 lbs since January 2nd. The anti-bloat diet seems to be working. It's amazing how what we ingest can actually bloat us up and instantly make us heavier. Shocking!

    After the 4 day anti-bloat diet, I will be doing the actual Flat Belly Diet. Wish me luck. So far I'm not cheating. I'm not looking around for munchies, even though I have all kinds of things in the pantry. I actually am not even tempted. This is pretty amazing! There are chips in the cupboard and dip in the fridge and I'm not at all interested in them. That alone is very, very exciting.

    Has anyone else on this thread done the Flat Belly Diet? I am really curious as to how it is/was going for you.

    I look forward to talking with all my Canadians buddies again.

    Have a healthy and happy day everyone!

    Oh, one more thing. If anyone is interested, The Biggest Loser debuts tonight. I love to root for the underdogs. I get excited for everyone when they drop the weight.

    Have a nice day, eh! LOL!

    I'm from Oshawa, Ontario. I joined about a year ago. I've been off and on ... more off than on. It really is a great site. I've started back again in hopes that this is the year that I finally lose that extra weight I've been carrying. Good luck on your journey!

    I have decided to do Jillian Michaels 30 day shred, plus get on our Bowflex and walk the dogs for my winter exercise. At the same time am looking for a used stationary bike that I can add to my routine, as I really enjoyed the benefits of cycling over the summer.

    So all of this should keep me busy til Spring.
