Hi there Bubbles...

I'm waving to you from the North Shore where the sun is shining today (albeit, intermittantly) but shining nonetheless!

Welcome to the forum. You will find lots of help and inspiration here!

Marlaine

Bubbles, there are quite a few of you on this board. The founding member and Webmaster, Wa'il; Supermoderator, Karen; LC mentor extraordinaire, Ruth; The dazzling and ever charming, Marlaine; LC Importer / Exporter, Judy... the list goes on and on :)

Welcome to the forum, glad you came in from the rain to join us :p
Nat

Welcome!
 

Hi Bubbles,

I'm sure glad you found us. Any chance you can come to Vancouver for our LC Christmas dinner at Karen's on Dec 2?

Nat, you forgot our own remarkable Rachel the moderator. There have been very few sightings of Rachel in the last month, (she's really busy working and we hope she can come out to play soon.) Rachel is a wonderful source of humour, information and support.

Overheard my name and couldn't help but listen in. Hi Ruth! Hi all! Thanks for the kudos.

Yes, Rachel has been busy - and possibly about to be busier - I've just been offered a FOURTH part-time job! But not too busy for the grand Xmas bash! Hope to see y'all there!

Rachel

Hiya!
 

I'm on The Island (a.k.a. Vancouver Island), Bubbles; welcome!

PS: and Nat, who is really an :angel: *will* spell my name right someday .... :lol: :devil: :lol:

Hi Bubbles! I too am new - this being day 1 for me - doing Atkins - have tried numerous times before - but have never belonged to a support group or had so much info at my fingertips - so am hoping this is it! I'm from the Vancouver area - :) Keep up the good work Chewie

Also from Vancouver
 

I haven't been on the board much lately, but there's quite a few Vancouver/BC types here. This is one of the best boards and best groups of people you'll ever find on the internet. An absolutely invaluable resource. Welcome to our little world.

I too am from "the island." :thup: Living in Victoria and loving the weather here.... come from up north. :daze:

Hi Pinkcaddy,

I think we have many members from Victoria and the island as well as the rest of BC. Welcome aboard :)

Why don't you islanders do a get together, sort of a low-carb dinner thingy? We do this often in Vancouver (so does our U.K. members). Would be great if we can spread the fever! :)

Wa'il

i'm from vancouver, as well - welcome to the board!

:wave:

I think getting together is a great idea! Who better for help and support than someone who is doing what you are doing? I would love to get together with anyone out there who is interested... just let me know! We can see what we can set up. :cheer:

Dinner in Victoria
 

Hi pinkcaddy,

I'll be in Victoria soon and Island Girl and I are planning to have dinner together Mon Dec 10. We don't know where yet, but if you're interested, just reply on this thread.

I'd love to. just let me know the details....Thanks! It will be great to meet someone who won't tell me this woe will make me sick!! On a side note... saw the doctor the other day and he said he felt this was the best eating plan there is....that was encouraging!

details details????
 

We (Ruthie and I) haven't arranged the details yet, but this would probably be an ideal time to do so....

Both Ruth and I have developed a fondness for affordable Greek food (blame it on those Vancouverites and Stephos restaurant). There are a couple of quite yummy Greek places here in Vic! I'm all for that, I'll just find out which ones are
(a) open on Monday the 10th, and
(b) not booked for some kind of Christmas party....

To do this (Ruth's MUCH better at it but she ain't here), I'll need a headcount, soooooooo:
Anybody Who Wants To Join Us for Dinner on the 10th, Around 6? Sign Up Here! by replying to this thread.... I'll get any reservation information like minimum table size or whatever this week.

Way Cool.

"new in town"?
 

Have a look at some of the other posts in this Forum!

For instance, if you want to know if anyone else is from BC (or Vancouver Island for that matter), just a quick scan of existing conversational threads with titles like Victorians and Vancouver Islanders or Vancouver Dinner is a dead giveaway! :lol:

It's cool to go down into these threads and pop in a Reply/Post to say hello and that you're in the neighbourhood too...

Hi again... I am interested. I have a new email address and have no idea how to update my info. New email is victoriaj~telus.net. If anyone can help that would be great.... computers are smarter than me. I have been bingeing all week and feel out of control....do good everyday until about 5... then all hell breaks loose... this is what happens when you fall off the wagon and try to get back on. Help!! Thanks again... I appreciate to support.
:( :confused:

hey
 

Hi, again, pinkcaddy.

2nd question first: see up above at the top right of the webpage, an icon named profile? Click on that to change your email address at this site, ok? If you want to reach any of us directly and you've been here long enough.... you can use the PM Private Message feature to provide email addresses (see at the bottom of my post right here a little PM icon?). Otherwise they just get blanked out to save us all from SPAMMERS.... :(

1st question, Ruth set up a special post just for this upcoming dinner event, here's the address. Just click here to go straight to it, it's in this Forum though so you can go there later if you want...
http://forum.lowcarber.org/showthre...0&referrerid=26 "Victoria Dinner December 10th".

Hope this helps!

Private messaging
 

Hi pinkcaddy,

I'd like to explain that 'being here long enough' means after 25 posts you will be enabled for private messaging.

I'm looking forward to our Victoria dinner, although Judi hasn't set the restaurant yet. Less than 2 weeks!

See ya then,

25 posts!!! I better get busy... I am a great observer!

Bubbles are you still out there??
 

Hey Bubbles... just wondering if your still around, I am interested to hear how things are going...I found this old post and thought I would drop you a line...

Hi!

I live in New West. Just moved here around Xmas from Estonia (North-Eastern Europe).
Today is my first day of Atkins! I'm hopeful.

Is there any Atkins gatherins in Vancouver? :wiggle:

Oh, there's been a bit of chat but nothing definite yet.

Welcome to the Forum!
