Pennsylvania
 

Anyone from Pennsylvania? It looks like most of the people from here don't stick around long. It would be fun to have a local buddy. I live near Harrisburg.

Hello... I, too, live near Harrisburg... about 10 minutes away. :)

Pennsylvania, my home state
 

Hi

I currently live in Nebraska. but was born and raised in
Dunbar Penna. yes i know it's alittle hick town compared
to Harrisburg, i've bin there too. but Pennsylvania is and
will always be my home ,even though i now live in Ne.

mY brouther came to visit me from Pa. about three weeks
ago. he had lost 20 lbs on Atkins, he got me started
back on the right track, I've lost about 10 pounds and plan
to stay in ketosis this time. Ifeel better allready.
Being so overweight. i have a complex about gitting
on the scale. so i plan to just stay in Atkins and maybe
when i've dropped down to a 12 , then i might git brave
and weigh in. Any one else feel that way?

would like to have an email buddy doing low carb from central Penn
 

Hello fellow central Penn low carbers.

I would be intersted in hearing from you guys and chatting about recipes and anything intersting in the low carb world. I am fairly new at this, although I have already lost about 28 pounds since July. So I quess I am doing something right. Thanks for the support. I just discovered this web site so I am still trying to figure it all out. Hang in there with me. Thanks

Hi everyone from PA. Is anyone closer to Indiana Pa? :)
Lucylu

I just saw this tread resurface, so Hi to all you from Pa.

Brandi, if you're still around, Enola is very close to me.

Mae, you didn't tell us where you are from, and I'm not sure where Dunbar is.

Indiana is about 4 hours from here. I think people from Pittsburg or even WV are closer to you.

Stop by my journal and say Hi.

Hi! I'm a wet-behind-the-ears newbie here...and I'm from Mechanicsburg.

Hi, I'm from Philadelphia. Philly is the worst place for low-carbing-everything is carb filled. Hoagies, soft pretzels, waterice,cheese steaks. I'm getting the strangest looks when I go to the store asking for low-carb products. I'm also a south philly italian/irish girl -all meals are surrounded with carbs!! Does anybody know the best sites to order low carb products from? Or any stores where I may be lucky finding lowcarb products?
I would love to have some local PA buddies online. Support for a low carb diet is hard to find else where.

Hi, roxie! I'm an Eagles season ticket holder, so I make quite a few trips down your way! (Tailgates can be very Atkins friendly!)

You can get some great stuff at the Italian Market...but you need to avoid wandering toward Pats/Genos! ;)

hey,

You can only eat pat's if you can eat just the steak and cheese-but's what is the fun in that? Did you get tickets for the new stadium? It looks really cool. I was at the home opener for the phillies, and you could see right in the field. my husband does the sign of the cross every time we go by it on 95 South. it's suppossed to be good luck for the eagles. yeah, i'm sure he's helping them somehow.

LOL...they're going to need some help from above! ;)

Yep, I'm sitting in the new place...but the price increase almost took me (and my family of 4) out of the running.

The big worry now is where we're going to have to park to tailgate. I'm sure they won't let all the partiers locate that close to the new stadium (between the First Union Center and I-95).

Oh, no-i don't know if i should talk to you-are you one of those 700 level people? lol

You betcha! And I can tell you that I've never personally thrown a Cowboy fan from the upper deck! ;)

Philadelphia Too!
 

Hi all,

I am from Philadelphia...would love to chat with you guys to motivate and encourage. I really need it. Live right near the Italian market.

Washington, PA
 

Live in Washington PA but am originally for Uniontown, PA. Visit Harrisburg periodically for work.
Nice to seen that PA is well represented

Although I currently live in Maryland, just having moved back East from a year in Seattle, I used to live in PA. My mom lives in Carlisle, so I get up there often. It's only about an hour drive. I used to live in Enola and Mechanicsburg, and I worked in Harrisburg. When I saw people from both towns in this thread it really made me smile!

Great thread!

Hi Kathy,

I sent you a PM. I am hoping we can be buddies. I think it would be great! Maybe you are able to send PM's now. I have been down a bit this week and could really use someone who is going through the same things and understands.
Looking forward to chatting with you!

Hi everyone, i just recently moved to carlisle, pa and i have no low-carb friends. most of my friends are back home in st. louis, mo. it's really hard to have long distant low-carb friends.

i started dr. atkins in june of 2000 (at 187 pds-size 24) and lost 69 pounds by Oct. 2000 (at 125 pds-size 8). I have the diary and photos to prove it. I have been doing atkins for the last 5 years to keep some of my weight down. Just got off track that's all, but i have gained back some weight and now it is 2006 and I wearing about a size 11-12. i went back on the diet this past week to get back down to my size 8.

i am not weighing my self, because i really don't believe in the scale that much because of my exercises and walking, so i love depending on my clothes.

i am doing very well.....excited about getting back into my 8's.

my favorite dessert.....homeade less than 5 carbs ice-cream. i would love to hear from somebody.

Hey everyone! I'm from PA too! I went to college out in western PA (clarion) for two years...and i'm back on the east side, right on the delaware river...i would love some low carb buddy support...my fiance is sorta doing this with me, but its more like i have to low carb for two instead of just worrying about myself. I may as well be a drug addict...that's what i feel like...some days i literally have to take it one hour at a time to make sure "we" stay on track...AHHH!!!

But i love this site and i know i'd be fat forever if didn't find something to help me out!

Hi LadyD125 and bride911 welcome to the forum.
We have a great group here and much support for any who ask.
I only wish that I had found this place when I was starting at LCing, it would have made it a lot easier for me. Both of you are on the other side of the state from me but hey we could alway complain about taxes and the potholes in the roads together......lol....Remember dont be afraid to ask....if we don't know the answer, we ask until we find somebody who does. GL in your LC travels.

Hey everyone! I just wanted to say hello! I'm from Harrisburg. So LADY125 I'm just about 20 min from you! Welcome! I am fairly new to this website also. Sounds like you are getting back in low carb gear! Great for you! Hi also to Bride911 (luv that) and KevinpA. How about those Steelers? haha. Speaking of which...time to think of some good low carb superbowl party foods?! My sister is making her amazing lasagna (which we have every year for superbowl). And I guess wings really don't go to well with that, huh?. ugh. I guess I will think of something I can contribute that I can actually eat as well. :)

Well nice to meet you all! This is a great site. Hope everyone has a great low carb Tuesday!
