Hello from across the river from me in Vancouver!
We have one low-carb store here in Vancouver and that place is a business superstar -- it is always incredibly crowded. It's fun to go there because the staff is quite enthusiastic about LCing and people there are happy to show you their before and after pictures. I've started finding low carb stuff in the regular supermarkets lately (La Tortilla Factory tortillas at Fred Meyer) and of course, Trader Joe's is a great place to low carb shop. Our Low Carb Habit store has (I think) monthly meetings; I haven't been to one yet, but it might be motivating. I saw that Nature's was offering a discussion on low carb eating as well (didn't have as much luck finding low carb choices at Natures yet, maybe as the low carb wave catches on they'll start offering more). We even have a restaurant here that has an Atkins menu. It's a 1950s style hamburger/shake joint, but they've got a whole separate (though admittedly somewhat uninspired) menu for Atkins.
Anyway, hope you're enjoying today's rainy weather -- hang in there, though, our great summer weather is just around the corner. (Best kept secret in the PNW).
