    I just realized I never said hi - or at least not in the main thread. Hello from Markham! *I work in the Financial District of Toronto.
  • Hey ;)

    I currently live in the GTA - but I move around a lot. Which is one of my "reasons I need to loose weight" excuses! Going out to meet new friends, and spending time in hotels is hard on the waist.
    Hoping to stay in and around the gta for a few years- so NO MORE EXCUSES.
    I just turned 28, married 2 years in May and would love to drop 50/60 lbs

    Friend requests welcome! Good luck everyone.

    Hi :)

    My name is Chas and I'm 35.

    I live in Toronto (North York) but work in Scarborough. I have a 4 1/2 year old and work full time. With the busy schedule, I find it hard to do all the mommy things and find time to work out. I got screwed over by a fitness gym and decided to stick with my Wii Fit.
    I am looking to lose +80 lbs but I understand it will take a while to lose that much. I'd love to find some new friends to do some kid friendly / schedule friendly activities to get moving!

    Glad to find a group for Torontonians (GTA'rs and Torontophiles included).

    Go Toronto! We can do it!

    Add me!

    Hello,

    Just joined MFP and this group. I live around Neilson and Sheppard. I have gained a LOT of weight since have 2 children in the past two years and have tried everything to take it off. I have struggled with m weight ALL of my life. I have been thin, fat, thin, fat, fat, fat and fat. I am hoping to connect with people on MFP that will help motivate and encourage me.

    Hi. I'm from Bloor/Ossington area.

    I've just joined MFP. I've always had a problem with my weight and having an underactive thryroid hasn't helped. I've tried fad diets and lost weight but as everyone knows the pounds creep back eventually.

    I'd like to connect with people here that can motivate and encourage me and I'll do the same for them.

  • Hi everyone. I'm Cathy and I live in Davisville. I joined on the advice of my personal trainer, and I'm finding this a great way to avoid overeating and motivates me to stay on track.

    Anyone doing the CN Tower step challenge this spring?

    Anyone doing the CN Tower step challenge this spring?

    I would love to but I've noticed in the past the corporate days (the weekdays) are booked up months in advance and I'm not sure of the actual opening date so I seem to miss it - that's what happened last October. I don't want to head downtown on a weekend to exercise, lol!

    A friend of mine did it in October on a Sunday and there is one issue I never thought of before that may be a problem - people barff in the stairs, people can't handle it and if someone barffs near me and or sounds/smells are heard I guarantee I may get arrested for assault when I get to the top, EW! Barfing is for the weak - sorry but if you have the flu/pregnancy, you are likely to stick to the washroom so I wont totally hate you but if you get sick on a ride, again, weak

    Hello!! I just joined :) I'm Jessica...live in Greektown.

    for most of my life i weighed the same (around 125-130 pounds which i was happy with); then to some unfortunate and bad life choices, i dropped down to 105pds. When i got myself together again, i did anything i could (okay, i just ate whatever i wanted which amounted to alot of Kraft Dinner and poutine) to put the weight back on...only problem is the weight kept adding. Now i'm heavier than i've ever been. I've been wanting to lose weight and get in shape for a while, just lacked the self-discipline to do it myself.

    So I decided to finally join MFP as a way of better holding myself accountable :) This means a complete overhaul of my eating habits and fairly sedentary lifestyle! :) So eating healthier and starting to exercise more...even just getting out and walking...

    Anyone in the east end - I'm always looking for new walking buddies!

    Hello everyone! I joined the group a couple days ago, but didn't have time to check it out until now. I'm in Scarborough, but usually around the Bathurst/Eglinton area (my bf lives there :) )

    Great to see fellow Torontonians on MFP :)

    I live in the Bathurst/Eglinton area :) just moved to this area a couple months ago. Used to live over at Woodbine/Danforth.
    I'm not looking to lose a ton of weight, maybe a bit, but I want to make sure I'm eating right!!
