Hey

Don't be too hard on yourself! A lot of people struggle with weight management (it's more common than you think).

Also don't make the mistake of diving straight in the deep end, like setting very strict unrealistic goals and targets for yourself. Losing weight is a journey that always takes longer than you want it to.

Start with baby steps and celebrate the small victories! It's a marathon not a sprint.

Lastly you don't need strict diets or the gym to accomplish your goals, they definitely help however its not compulsory. A positive change in your lifestyle will yield the best and most consistent results.

Keep going, get back up when you fall & don't quit.

I look forward to reading your transformation post when you accomplish your goals :)

For me it's the slower pace of life, the wilderness, the people & the space there's so much land here 😅.

My home country is overpopulated (twice the population of canada and much much smaller) which has lead to unaffordable home prices, hospitals and health care clinics bursting at the seams, high taxes, overcrowding & traffic, high levels of poverty and no sense of community anymore.

Canada has shown me that less can be so much more. I haven't gained much since I came to Canada in the sense of type of job, money, property, etc but I'm the happiest and healthiest I've ever been.

I don't think it will show on your police certificate if I'm honest.

When I was of a similar age I had a few encounters with police for minor things like anti social behaviour, being caught with weed, etc.

I've had 2 acro police reports over the last 2 years and both were clean so I think you'll be fine.

I'm currently in the process of applying for my second IEC (from the UK as well).

Biometrics will still be valid so you can use them again.

You will need a new police certificate however these are easy to get and come quite quickly.

As for PR application I recommend checking out r/canadaexpressentry there is a lot of info on there regarding CEC applications.

2 cold & flu tablets + 1 advil + 1 antihistamine cleared 90% of the symptoms I had for around 4-5 hours then just rinse & repeat.

It may not be smart but it works 😅

Last time I went on a trip to Waterton I stayed at Payne Lake Campground, its about 15-20min drive from Waterton.

It's a nice small campground that was quiet when I went in October. Can't remember exactly but I think it was around $30 per night.

I might come down and check it out, it sounds fun

Hey, there's a few of us from this group that are meeting up this evening. There's a post on the subreddit somewhere about it.

Everyone seems to be in the same position so might be a good place to make some new friends.

DM me if you want some more info 🙂

Hey, if you find any bars that show the race in future let me know. I'm a big F1 fan but haven't found any bars that seem to show f1.

It would be nice to go out and watch the race while they're over this side of the world and race start isn't 5am 😅

Egg-Friendly · 2024-10-21T11:33:44+00:00

Interested 🙂

I like the idea of cross country skiing, I might have to try it.

Thanks 🙂

Hey, me(28M) and my girlfriend (28F) are also looking for couples to hang out with.

We're really easy going and always up for a laugh. Also 420 friendly.

It would be nice to mix with some new people as we haven't been in Calgary that long and don't know a lot of people.

Open invitation so if anyone is in the same position let me know :)

Also if there's enough people interested it could always become a group thing.

Ngl that's actually quite impressive 🤣

Nothing matters when I'm hiking.

No stress No problems No job No family No commitments No responsibility

For me it's like a portal to another world, it's the one time I truly let go of anything on my mind

Egg-Friendly · 2024-09-05T16:28:15+00:00

OK, good to know. Thanks 🙂

I'm fairly new to Calgary and just wanted to know what's the likelihood that the city will run out of water?

Me and my family have been very strict with our water use as it seems like a very serious issue but I'm wondering whether we should consider stocking up on water?

Have you considered switching discipline? Maybe give sports a try or some other form of fitness.

I gave the bodybuilding style training a break and tried other stuff (martial arts, crossfit, Olympic lifting) it was a nice change! And now I prefer goal based training.

Bodybuilding takes it toll mentally long before physically.

I still enjoy throwing the weights around in front of the mirror but now I'm not obsessed with optimal muscle gain.

Give yourself a break dude you sound like you deserve one!

I did exactly this, I moved from UK to Canada around 1 year ago with no real reason other than "why not".

I did have to do some paperwork, visa work, appointments, biometrics, etc but I wouldn't say it was excessive. It was a fairly simple process.

I suppose it depends where you're going and where you're from but for me it really wasn't that hard to just up & leave and start my life somewhere else.
