    Hello from Nova Scotia!

    Hi everyone!

    I just joined ADBB yesterday, and I started the induction phase on Monday. I'm from Cole Harbour, Nova Scotia, Canada. Cole Harbour is one of the many communities which make up Halifax, the capital of Nova Scotia.

    Anyhow, I'm 28 years old and work for a global, publicly traded software development company. I've been in the I.T. field for about 7 years now and I love it!

    I live by myself as my boyfriend is currently in prison in Quebec - yes I know this is not ideal, haha! He made some bad choices, but he is a really good man and he loves me very much. We are the same age. He will be coming home to me some time next year, not exactly sure of the exact date as it will be on parole so he hasn't heard yet. We have no children yet, but we have 2 kitties whom we love very much.

    I've struggled with my weight all my life I guess, but more so over the past 8 years since going on anti-depressants, and I've ballooned up and now am over 100lbs overweight.

    I'm about 5 days into induction and it's going great so far. I've lost 5 lbs so far, like a pound a day is coming off when I weigh myself in the mornings. I plan on staying on the induction for the first couple months at least then moving to OWL.

    I'm looking forward to getting to know everyone on these boards!

    Cheers,

          Lonz, I am glad you found us and decided to join in. Looks like you are off to a rip roaring start with the 5lb loss. You will be so glad you decided to do this way of eating, it is great to say the least.
          You stick with the plan and that 100 lbs will be gone in no time. I bet the next time you see your boyfriend, he will be amazed. Post often so we can hear about your success.

                  Hello, I think you have me confused with another ADBB. My BF wouldn't be nearly as surprised at my weight loss as my husband as when my BF returned. Just joking with you. Thank you so much on your reply. Thank you and you really look great, hope I can do the same. Thanks, Linda

                    Thank you so much for your reply. I do think though that you may have me mixed with another ADBB. My BF wouldn't be nearly as surprised at my weight loss as my husband would be when my BF returned
                    joke joking . Thank you agian and I hope to run into you again. LInda

                            Good for you, I am still in the introduction, I have no self control. I guess I will just have to keep on keeping on. I think I may have lost a lb. but that is not gaining one. Good for you and good luck to you, Linda
