I'm not from Manitoba, but I need support just like everyone on here. I've been lost without this board and have went back to my binge eating. I set a date to get back on track. Tuesday, because my 11 year old got a new paper route and I'm going to help out. It will get me out of bed early because we have to have them delivered by 7am. It's also 6 days a week, so they will be my workout days. When I come home, I plan to hit the treadmill for 30 min. I got weighed yesterday and wanted to cry. all my hard work is gone. One cheat day leads to many more. How did I get so out of control. I'm so depressed. I don't want to go anywhere because I'm buldging out of my clothes. I refuse to buy bigger. I live in Welland, Ontario and grew up in Nova Scotia. I would like to give and receive support. I'll look for you later. Hope someone replies. I am currently 166lbs. Goal weight is 130-140. I am so not good with change. Hope I can figure this board out quickly. I do see some new things I like. Can't figure out where favorites are?

I was happy to read your post and I will be thinking of you on Mon. and I ask that you keep me in mind on Tues. I have 2 children, ages 11 and 4, both girls. I homeschool my girls, so I'm used to them being around me a lot.

I agree that we should have been warned. I went to my usual Ontario board and I've list everyone. No one is back there. They probably don't know it's back and I came here because I saw there were people actually posting. I don't care if were not in the same province, I just really want the support when Tues. rolls around. I will post to you on Tues. with some supportive encouragement.

It seems like we are all in the same situation right now. I can feel the support of this board though. I am so out of control with my eating. I'm eating everything in sight. I see a lot of you are going back on on Mon. I will join you all on Tues. I figure if I have to get up at 5am to do papers with my daughter, it will be a good time to start a new routine and believe me getting up at 5am is a huge lifestyle change for me. Are all of you feeling bloated and tired? I sure am. I hope they will warn us the next time they take the board away. I'm sure that was tough on a lot of people.

After getting up this morning and feeling aweful, I've decided that I just can't wait until Tues, so I'm with everyone here. Tomorrow it is. Hubby is going to make one of his wonderful salads and I bought a big package of skinless chicken breast to cook today and have ready for tomorrow. Today is a "clean the environment and preparation day" I know most of what I clean out will land in my mouth, but tomorrow I will end this cyle. I don't think I ever realized just how much I need this board until it was gone. What were they thinking? Anyway have a great "last day of junkin out" and we'll all meet back tomorrow. I can't wait to have more energy!

166lbs.     Goal is 130-140

I went to the mall today, knowing that today would be my last day without planning my menu. I was alomost in a panic mode, wanting to get all my favorites before tomorrow. I've been trying to kick this addiction from the time I quit smoking 3 years ago. That's when I found a new addiction and became an x-slave to cigarettes and a new slave to food. It's all I think about. I'm successful pretty much everytime that I decide to lose the weight, but to stay with it is another struggle. I always gain it back. I'm a yo-yo binge dieter. I know all the right tools that work for me, yet putting them into play is the hard part. I can't wait to start fresh tomorrow with all of you. I love being back on the board. I missed it a lot.

I too encouraged a friend of mine and she lost 25lbs. How much do you want to lose? It's 11pm here and I just finished cleaning my environment- into my mouth. I feel sick, fat and bloated from my Sunday binge and when I wake up I'll be ready for the challenge. I will start to feel the cravings in the afternoon and I will have to fight each and every craving for the first few days. After that I will feel much better and wonder why I don't always do this. This is my pattern. I would feel great and just when my body was cleaned out and I was losing weight and feeling great, I would say, "Well I'm in control now, one cheat is ok". The problem is that I'm addicted to junk food and one will never do. It leads to a binge. Just like I can't say, "I'll just have one puff of a smoke", I also can't just have 1 choclate bar without having a bag of chips, a piece of cake and some icecream to go with it. It took me 7 years to kick my addiction to cigarettes and I've been struggling with my weight for 3 years. I hope that this is the time "I get it". I have a neighbor that just moved in about 9 months ago and she is very motivating for me. I am 32 and she is 53 and she has a body that I would love to have. She rarely touches a piece of junk, she goes to the "Y"  5 times a week, she grows her own veggies and herbs. She inspires me to know that if I was disiplined enough, I could look great at 53 as well.

I want tomorrow to be "a new day" and not like all the times that I've done this before. I'm tired of wishing I had someone elses body. I want to love my own. So I start AGAIN at 166. Goal is 130-140

 Current weight is 166lbs. My goal is 130 and my mini goal is 10lbs. I accept the challenge of going to Aug. 31st as my mini goal, 2lbs a week is a very reaslistic goal. I'm excited! I'm off to bed and prepared to wake up to a healthier lifestyle.

One day leads to one week,

leads to one month,

leads to one year,

leads to a healthy lifestyle change and a new you!

Good morning everyone! I just love this board. Loosey thankyou for the kind words and support. I will be happy to return it. I usually wake up between 10-11am, but this morning I got up at 7am. I have to start getting up tomorrow at 5am to help my daughter with her paper route. This will be a huge lifestyle change for me. I think it's just what I need. I don't think there are too many health nuts that wake up at 11am,lol. I am feeling a lot of different things this morning. I feel ready to this and positive. Having the board back is huge for me. I'm starting the morning off with a peppermint tea and two aspirin for the killer headache I have from yesterdays massive binge. I feel sick and I can't wait to get all the junk out of my body. Today won't be pretty, but I will fight every craving and look forward to day 3, when my body will feel so much better. I will drink as much water as I can handle today, which won't be hard considering the temperature is supposed to climb to 34 degrees today. I am having some silly thoughts today. I want to go for a bike ride with my girls, but I don't want everyone in the neighbor hood to see me today. I feel huge, and aweful. I'm not feeling social at all. I want to wait until it's dark out tonight and then go walking. I know this is not a healthy way to think, but I wanted to honest in case others are feeling the same. Basically, I'm positive but I feel like crap. I put my body through a lot of abuse lately and today it's going to stop. I will be thinking of all of you today and I'm so glad we have each other. We can talk about our struggles and our victories in a place where we understand each other.

Sheree, How often are we going to weigh in? I don't like to get weighed too often because the scale used to be another addiction for me. I could do once a week, or will we get weighed on Aug. 31st?
