Hello! Laughing

Are there any Canadians on this site?

If so, I thought it would be great if we lose weight together!

So if you're Canadian and want to lose weight please post your stats! Height,  location only if you want), age (only if you want) highest weight, starting weight on calorie counter, current weight, short-term goal, long-term goal and BMI.

 

Here are mine:

Height- 5'3.5"

Location- Ontario 

Age- 21

Highest weight- 265lbs

Starting weight on CC- 256lbs

Current weight- 249lbs

Short-term goal- 225lbs

Long-term goal- 140lbs

Hi alldolledup! Love your "mid-air" picture!

Ht: 5'2.5" (we both know how crucial that extra half-inch is!) Location: Alberta Age: older than you HW: 178lbs CW: 168lbs GW: 140lbs

What do you do for exercise? I'm trying to train for a 5K on October 28th, but I'm so bad at running! I keep trying to tell myself it's mental, and that I'm really NOT going to die if I do one more minute, but my legs/heart/lungs don't always agree. :)

I've just been losing weight by eating healthier I guess. For exercise I walk, plus soon I'm going to be starting to learn to belly dance. From what I have heard its a good workout. Along with that some yoga. Fun fun. :D
Hello there fellow Canadians!

Well I'm not Canadian yet but live here permanently, does that count?

Here are my stats:

Height- 5'11"


Location- British Columbia


Age- 26


Highest weight- 315lbs


Starting weight on CC- 315lbs July 27, 2007


Current weight- 300lbs Sept. 16, 2007


Short-term goal- 275lbs by Dec. 19, 2007


Long-term goal- 200lbs September 1, 2008



My tools for this journey are eating healthier stuff and better portions, spread out over the entire day. About 1600cals when not exercising and between 1700-1900 cals when I work out or do any kind of exercise.

My exercise is: cardio and weight training at the gym, pilates, tai chi and lots of walking from and after work

Awesome! Welcome fellow Canadiaaaans!

feydruss: That half inch is important when you're under 5'5", lol. For exercise I walk 15 minutes to college, and back, as well as from class to class. Also, I go to the gym three times a week. Here's my routine there: stretch, treadmill on incline, weight machines, cardio on the elliptical trainer, walk around the track they have at the gym, and stretch again. I'm a horrible runner, so I wish you all the luck in the world with your 5k run. Smile

oba_bear: Congratulations on the 47lb loss! That's amazing, well done. And I've always wanted to try belly dancing, but I'm still very self conscious, lol. 

sabineyvr: Get your citizenship girl! Haha, .  I love B.C., quite a few relatives of mine live there, it is so beautiful.

 

I got my blood tests done today for my bariatric doctor. I had to fast for 12 hours, so I was all woosy afterwards, haha. For breakfast I had to bring a protein shake because the blood place is a city away. Once I got some real food in me I felt much better. They had to take 7 viles from me! I was like.. holy crapola! Maybe that will lower my weight, haha.. kidding!

       &nb sp;       = now 170lbs
       &nb sp;       = goal is 150lbs

@ alldolledup: Try it anyway! Maybe a private lesson? I think everyone should try it, its good for your body image. :D
