I just discovered this forum today... obviously I am about 10 days too late for what looked like a FANTASTIC get-together here in Vancouver! Typical me... late as always!

I'm thrilled to find a section for Canadians, and it looks like there's a lot of Vancouver/Lower Mainland folks here, which is exciting. (BTW, I have been looking for a new doctor and if anyone has a good one who's low-carb friendly, please PM me!) I've been low-carbing since January 6, 2003 following mostly Protein Power, but I originally read the Atkins book, so have incorporated some principles from it into my low-carbing. So far I've lost a little over 80 lbs. with about the same amount to go to goal.

Anyway, I just wanted to say hi and introduce myself before I dive in and start reading all the threads.

I look forward to comparing notes with all my fellow Canucks. See you all around!

You will find that everyone is very supportive and friendly here.

Congratulations on your success so far. Keep going and you will reach your goals.

Welcome to the Forum Tessa!

There is a lot of Lower Mainland action so visit often and join in!

hello there! Welcome to the board. From what I've seen so far, everyone is really friendly, and willing to help out in any way they can.

I reacted the same as you when I found this board, its great to have other people to talk to, and to help find products and restaurants in the area!

Good luck!

Just wanted to stop by and say "Welcome" as well!

Hope you've had a wonderful holiday season
