Topic: RE: Searching the Manitoba forum re Craving Change workshop..

The only place I know that Craving Change is posted for the bariatric clinic is just outside the clinic doors. You can't sign up for those until you have your first 4 hour session, but I can tell you they are running them all summer. I am doing all 4 in July while I am laid off for the summer.

You can also take the course through Youville Health Centre but trying to get info etc was very difficult and I had to get referrals twice from my Dr as they didn't tell me what they wanted and then the idiots sent it back to the health nurse here where they don't offer the program.

Topic: next meet and greet

i was wondering if you wanted to start thinking about when and where to have the next meeting or should we wait until fall as everyone has a super busy schedule for the summer time.

if anyone wants to get together in smaller groups or one on one just message me and i will try my hardest to make it work.

if everyone was willing to drive a bit we could have it out here in the country i live on 2 acres but i know that alot of people do not have a car

its just an idea

Topic: RE: Pedometer recommendations and where to buy in Winnipeg or elsewhere

depending on your price point a fitbit is a great one too.you wear it all the time and it tracks all movement and sleep paterns too.it also syncs up with my fitnesspal.they are about 100.00 and you can buy it at the apple store at polo and i think also at best buy.

If walking is a requirement, then I'm majorly screwed. I use a wheelchair. Recently, I found a video on YouTube for disabled people, you can either use a wheelchair, armless chair or standing. I hope that will be acceptable for the WLS clinic here.

Does anyone know if the Manitoba Forum (or any others for that matter) is searchable by topic? I'm looking for posts on the Craving Change workshop here in Winnipeg. Thanks

You can add notations on the same page where you record your foods.  In the text box besides the glasses of water consumed.

I have mobility issues and use a wheelchair. I found a video on YouTube for disabled ppl, it's about 30 minutes long. It seemed to go by fast today lol! It's fun.

Can I record sleep, moods on fitness pal? I prefer to keep it all in one place.

I have the Tractivity that attaches to my shoe laces and I love it. I found that with my big tummy I never got accurate reads with traditional ones and I love logging in to see how I have done everyday. I found them on facebook and there was a code there for half price. I have had mine for 14 months and have changed the battery once!
