Anyone from Ontario, Can. Diet buddies?

Hi there.  I live in Northern Ontario and need to lose 20-30lbs. Although I'd settle for 10 at this point. LOL.   I just started watching what I eat, and power walking (35 min 2x daily) 4 days ago. I walk once in a.m. and again in the p.m.. I will incorporate light weights (Joyce Vedral)  for 30 min mid-day starting tommorow.  This time I have to lose weight and gain muscle. 

This is the biggest I have been in my life and I have cellulite on my stomach!  I have to admit that I have always been a bit spoiled in the weight department, however I have, until the last 4 years always excercised common sense and moderation in my eating habits.  After the birth of my third child I retained 20 lbs.  That's okay I thought, I'll lose it eventually, no pressure etc, etc, and besides because I'm tall (just shy of 5'8) that put me at a size 12.  Not a size I mind frankly.  But since then, I managed to put on another 15. I am now a size 13 and pushing it.   Losing the flab and gaining muscle tone is not going to get easier.   It's now or never.  If anyone out there relates to this story and has decided that it's time for them, I'm looking for a buddy. 

Hi Chrissae!

Welcome to C-C.  There are a few Ontarians around (although most of them are in Southern Ontario).

I'm from Thunder Bay - just send me a pm if you have any questions. :)

Hello.  I am from SW Ontario, on a gravel road in the middle of everywhere.

There must be someone from TO on here.... Can't believe I'm the only one. 

Deep southern Ontario.

just east of Toronto

I live in Kitchener and I decided today to really get serious about things.  I have 11 pounds I want to lose and I want it gone by Christmas.  I can use all the help I can get!!

I live in Toronto!!!

Ugh, no wait, I just remembered that I moved to Markham. Officially part of the near-deserted surburbia that is the 905.

But anyway, on a lighter note, welcome to CC! I've just joined quite recently too.

Hi, I'm in Ottawa. Lost 15 lbs, and 15 more to go.

Hey there, I just joined yesterday, and I use to live in TO. I now live in Barrie, but it's not that far. I was born and raised in TO and moved here when my son was 1, that was 7 yrs ago. 

I am looking to lose about 25lbs too, but I'll gauge that as I go and how I look, since I like to do weight training and you know what they say about muscle. The last 2 years I have wanted to get in shape for summer but I just never did, this time I'm really trying lol.

I am - not originally, but I live here now :)

btw we need a section on where to find certain low-cal foods that Americans mention, we probably won't have all the same brands but there must be similar ones.
