    I'm in. I hate binging and I hate that feeling leading up to knowing I want to binge. Normally I sit down with a big bag of potato chips and tune out while watching tv, I feel horrible afterwards and then I feel like I've let myself down again. I really want to try and focus on not stuffing my face with food and finding out WHY it is that I do have these days where all I want to do is eat till I'm so full I feel sick. Maybe we could set up a private group? Then we can check in once a day and give each other support if we feel like we're slipping?

    I prefer not to make it private, as I want people to be able to join in at any point.

    But we can still check in everyday and offer support! Thats exactly what I want! Support and accountability! =)

    Happy Birthday!

    I'll jump in on this one as in a past November I was four pounds away from my goal, I wasn't losing for weeks, staying at the same lousy four pound to goal. It was frustrating. The holiday parties began to creep in and I lost it, gained everything back, I was at 176 then, now at 216... Live and learn...

    Count me in! I've had a couple of binges, so far in October, and I would love to make November a binge free month. At the end of September I moved from Canada to China, and started a new teaching job. I don't want to slip into old habits of binging on sweets and chips at night after a long day at work.

    Nope. Thanksgiving is in November. I'm not going to count every bite I take that day.

    :D me I am so in. I have done terrible the last couple of weeks. I got my period and it was a HORRIBLE month so I took comfort in eatting whatever the heck I wanted and hating myself for it. THEN...thanks giving hit like 2 days later. I ate enough patato and stuffing for at least 3 people :P and at my moms any get together involves horror movies so I pigged all through those. Yesterday I decided to pull it together! I went to pool running. I did weights. I went for a walk on the beach later...and then I ate a huge slab of cake after dinner :P. I could definately use some support AND having to blab on myself wouldn't hurt. I am in. I am in. I am SOOOOO in thanks for a great idea.

    I'm in. I've had a really rough October. November will be rough, too, but I need to get a handle on the face-stuffing all day and all night. Thanks for starting this.

    Today has been a very good day. I've stayed within my calorie count even with no exercising. It's my REST DAY!!!

    I need strength and will power to make it through every moment successfully.

    I hope everyone has a great Friday.

    I'm on board! I just started MFP, mostly because the other day I had my first binging episode in about 3 months. Ugh, really want for this bad habit to be in my past. I'll be post food and exercise daily, but just for the record, I will be planning a treat meal on Saturdays. That has worked for me in the past, so I'm sticking with it. In case you're still reading and wondering, the binge was the result of the "perfect storm" of several stresses/disappointments happening at once. Working on having a Plan B for these inevitable events. Looking forward to this group support! :smile:

    COUNT ME IN!!! November is my absolute hardest month to stay on track!! It's my birthday, my husband's birthday and then we celebrate with both of our families on different days for Thanksgiving! UGH!! So much food! I am going to hold myself accountable for every single calorie I consume!! AND.....not over indulge on all of the calorie laden foods that will be in my path!! I'm so excited to have this goal! It actually is making me feel a lot less stress going into next month!

    Yes I'm absoloutly in! I'm normally good with eating on weekdays but over the weekends I start binge eating just because of pure boredom and I put all my grams i lost over the week right back on. So yes I would love to join you guys to be more motivated.

    I'm in as long as I can say a binge is going over maintaining calories. I have Sundays set aside to go over my calorie limit because I loose better that way

    What ever a binge is to YOU! And I agree, over our personal maintenance calories is a good definition!
