    Hello Everyone! I would like to try joining you.

    I have to be honest, I think I am too old or something for this part of the app. It seems awkward to navigate and I can’t ever find anything. LOL

    I used to be on WW. It really helped me with my weight and I liked their community but…life!

    Anyway, I have been here a while but haven’t found a place I belong and stumbled on this discussion. I am starting feel like I need a break from alcohol and I know it helps keep weight off.

    Maybe checking in with people who have similar goals will help keep me on track.

    Have a great Sunday!

    Welcome!

    I struggle with the new format too!

    @forestdweller1 great to see you back here. So sorry to hear about your health issues!!!

    @lmlmrm congratulations on the sweet new addition to your family!!! She and her big sister are beauties.

    Just came back from a whirlwind trip to Phoenix for a seminar. More alcohol than I usually drink, and less sleep, means I reset today. The weather was beautiful. I love springtime in a desert! Perfect weather. Then came home to East Coast winter. Brrrr!

    Congrats on your success in the past with WW. MFP recently changed the the floor plan here and messed us all up.

    We left yesterday and are away for a few days. Sunday we arrived at our superbowl event at 3:00PM, we were there until 10:00PM. I had already decided I would step out of my AF streak of 49 days (yay).

    Within those 6.5 hours at a big time drinking event, I kept to one standard mixed drink. ( another yay) our server came around probably every 15 minutes asking if we needed anything, I had plenty of off the chart chances to go hog wild, throw caution to the wind and say screw it. I had discussed with our server when she introduced herself that this drink I am ordering has to be worth it to me more in flavor than alcohol content. LEMON yum.

    A few minutes later the server returned WITH the bartender. I was shocked! The bartender was so sweet and kind and said she really wanted to make my drink perfect ans discussed how she would make it with lots of fresh lemon zest. It was very refreshing and I followed @womona micro sips.

    Tonight we're staying overnight again it being Valentines Day, I'll plan another one drink night with our Valentines dinner out.

    Happy Feb 14th

    February accountability: 2/28 days AF
    Alcohol: 13 days (23 drinks)
    Goal: Limit 1-2 glasses per day; 12-16 AF days per month. Aim to drink no more than 2 nights in a row.

    2/11 - 4 wine
    2/12 - 2 wine
    2/13 - AF Super Bowl
    2/14 - 1 wine
    2/15 - AF

    Getting my life back under control. Not worried about wine when it is only 1 bottle ... but when 2 are opened like Friday night I need to switch to something else.
