Hi fellow Canadians and also our American buddies who got this site going! I have been everywhere, being a military girl and marrying a military man. Lived in Summerside, PEI, Dartmouth, NS, Moose Jaw Saskatchewan, Winnipeg, Manitoba, Germany for 6 years, Comox, BC, and now in Belleville, Ontario! Grew up in Fort Erie, Ontario but was born in London, Ontario. Am a lifetime member (and I mean lifetime) and since coming back from Europe, also came back with extra baggage (on my body) but loved every minute and bite there! Have lost 9 pounds in the last 3 weeks and hope to make it 15 by Christmas! Take care fellow Canucks and American friends. graemlins/bcbsalute.gif

Hello Canada! graemlins/wave.gif
I lived in Edmonton from 12/99 to 11/01.
Then I moved my Canadian husband to the states for
awhile. I sure miss it up there!
We are planning to fly up and visit for a week 12/6. Where would I find a good WW meeting in the "City of Champions"?

BTW, we watched the Grey Cup and were glad to see Edmonton play but sad she lost. Congrats to Montreal, tho.

My first time posting so I hope I do this right. tongue.gif

Hi Diana,
I'm in Duncan, just north of Victoria. I did notice from your profile that you were on Denman Island. We used to visit Hornby Island years ago when our friends had property there and would stop on Denman Island on the way through. We haven't been to either Denman or Hornby since the property was sold but would love to come back for a visit. When we do we will be sure to look you up.

Hi Ashlee,
I just had a look at the web page you mentioned. This group is based on the diet book "Get with the Program!" by Bob Greene.
Last week I was watching the news on CTV and they mentioned the best and worst diet books. These were rated by "the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine". The best was "Eat more, Weigh Less" by Dean Ornish, M.D. It earned 5 stars. The second best was "Get with the Program!". It earned 4 stars.
Needless to say "Dr. Atkins' New Diet Revolution" got no stars and was rated as unsafe.
So, the "Get with the Program" at least isn't unsafe. If I hadn't gone through WW I might have considered trying one of the recommended diet books but, I think my success was due to the support that you get from the meetings.

Hi, I am a newbie and I am residing in Canada. Right now I am a "transplant" American citizen, applying for perm residence. I have been on WW since Nov 2000. I joined BCB to keep me on track and help crack my "attitude plateau"- my lukewarm adherence to the program that's kept me losing and gaining the same eight pounds for the last 6 months. No more! From now on it's OP all the way, I am tired of spinning my WW wheels!
