Hi Everyone!

 I just stumbled upon this website and I have to say that I am super impressed and it came at just the right time. Like most of you, I am overweight. Like some of you, I have lost weight (over 100 lbs)in the past, and kept it off successfully. However, I got pregnant and gained 15 lbs. Then I went into preterm labour and had my daughter 4 months early. She weighed 1lb 6oz. The doctors did not believe she would survive and spent much time telling us this. That is when I went into a depression. I spent all day everyday in the hospital and didn’t bring a lunch - not very bright - I know. So I ate Pizza Pizza twice a day for 5.5 months. And I obviously gained tons of weight. Finally, my baby got well enough to come home and by then, she required so much care that I ate whatever and whenever I could. Now my daughter is doing better, and I am trying to get better too. Since I already know how to lose weight in a healthy way, while eating well and often, I thought I would share it with others, in the hope that it would keep me motivated. Therefore, I started a weight loss group for women. Ladies from Ottawa, Gatineau and surrounding areas meet at my home at least twice a week and we take our measurements, weight, have a group discussion, exchange recipes and tips, organize outings and exercise and we also share our goals and incentives. It is a great way to keep ourselves going. We started recently and I am happy to report that I have lost over 6 lbs at the last weigh in.

 I would like to extend the invitation to any ladies interested in participating. We meet wednesdays and sundays at 2pm. I would also consider adding evening meetings if people are interested. Oh and before I forget, everything is free!
