Hi Alex and BariatricPal pals,

I am ready, willing and able to start up, and looking forward to growing a fun, active new Local Chapter here in western San Bernardino County, based near the south Ontario/Chino area. I am tentatively aiming for a Saturday morning monthly group, probably 9:30-11:00am. I will begin looking for a meeting location this week.

If anyone is interested in co-leading this group in this area with me, I'd love to hear from you/meet you, etc.

So, if YOU or anyone you know would be interested in these new, awesome BariatricPal face-to-face meetings in Ontario/Chino, please post a reply so we can start the ball rolling!!!

Thanks, everyone!

Hi keno 7,

I will be sending out the announcement for December's Group at the end of this week (after Thanksgiving). Check back here, probably Saturday or Sunday. Meanwhile, you can look at post #62 on this thread that shows November's announcement so you have the meeting location in advance in case you don't know exactly where it is.

So, I will put you on the list as coming. See you 12/6! You can also email me any time at ontchinochapter@aol.com if you have any other questions of a personal nature.

Thanks for your interest in joining Ontario/Chino Chapter!

I requested the 6th off I have a lot of things to do but hopefully trying to make the meeting we will see how that goes.

Hi Debbie3sons,

Hope you come. Remember all that EXTRA self-talk we all need to be doing this time of year--WE and our WLS health matter too, RIGHT???

Hi Everyone!

Please join us on December 6 for Support Group! As many of us are winding up into “full gear” for the December holidays, please consider that WE owe it to ourselves to give us AT LEAST this 90 minutes in December to make time to come to Group!

Our Mini-Topic of the Month is:

Part Two: WLS & the Holidays: Keeping it Fun AND Healthful! The People. The Places. The Goodies. We’ll be sharing some On-the-Go Tips & Tricks and some other ideas for getting rid of guilt associated with our eating habits.

If you are coming, please RSVP here on this thread no later than Thursday night, December 4, OR to our chapter’s email at ontchinochapter@aol.com. We begin promptly at 9:30, so please arrive a few minutes early so you have time to sign in. Sorry, we are unable to permit children under the age of 16.

Thank you!

See you on 12/6!

I don't think I RSVP'd yet, but I will be there tomorrow.

I will try to be there tomorrow.

Hello all, would this be the closest group to Victorville? Or are you aware of anything closer to me? Any help would be great! Thank you.

Hi GoGoNiner,

I don't know of any BariatricPal group in the Victorville area. I know coming to Ontario would be quite a drive for you,(especially with winter weather!) but we'd love to have you, any time! Maybe you can think about starting one up yourself. I KNOW there would be interest in the Victorville area. You can private message Alex Brecher for more info on how to become a BariatricPal support group leader. Good luck!

Hey Sherry....I know it's been a couple of months but what are the Kaiser Fontana times coming up? My schedule during Nov. & Dec. has really gone wacky and I'm still trying to see when I can start attending a group again. Is the Ontario group mostly newbies? Hope your holiday was great.

Annette
