It always sounds like a good idea until it isn't. I do that too! I feel like I deserve some fun, but feeling horrible the next day is terrible. I take a milk thistle each day which seems to help the liver process, at least that's what a pharmacist told me. Not sure if it works but I think it does help. I also sometimes take a charcoal tablet. Of course, I wish I didn't overdo it. But we are human.

@LittleSurferGirl7 A trend weight basically will show you a bigger picture of how your weight has been going in general and what it anticipates will happen next based on your recent history. I use the website trendweight.com and input my weight in there daily. It will also link to other places if you want it to. Overall I like that it doesn't just look at a bad day singularly, but overall how you've been doing all week which really is the real picture.

there is another website for tracking weight called weightgrapher. or one for the phone called Happy Scale. There is lots to chose from, all depending on what interests you.
Littlesurfergirl, going alcohol free can be very liberating. It is a moment by moment decision. I understand the FORO, fear of running out. Have you tried to 'save" the alcohol for later? such as I can wait for later to drink. What i mean is when u get up tell yourself, wait for later, I don't need it right now, or say I can have that after supper, reavaluate then and ask yourself do I need/crave it right now, no but I can have it later! I know it sounds like a game but in truth, it buys u some sober time.
I'm just tossing some ideas out for you.
Do you want a vacation? travel to Hawaii? go to disney world? the money you save from not drink could fund your vacation.7 -
Re: Comment "I know I will mix a drink soon though. I don't need it. It's more of a routine."
I wonder if you could just fill the two pints with something of the same color such as straight ice tea etc.?
When the urge to go and pour a drink out of habit hits, it would then be there for the hand-to-mouth and habit of pouring, but would be AF ?
When I quit smoking cigs I actually made fake cigarettes. I used straws (red ones) and kept the cigarette feeling paper on them. (Burger King uses red straws). I would cut the tip of paper off to see the red so it looked lit. I put bean bad ashtrays in my car, where I normally sat to talk on the phone and near my kitchen table for after I eat and kept waiting "cigs" in them. I also carried some in my purse in a pack. Each place they were cut off to the length of my normal cigs. I actually did not even need to suck on them. I just needed to feel it between my fingers, bring it near my mouth occasionally, see it on my steering wheel in my fingers as I drove, out of the corner of my eye between my fingers as I talked on the phone etc. I also used sugar free starlight mints to signal an end sometimes to the cigarette (like toothpaste after a meal when you brush). It was all trickery but it worked. I have been smoke free since 2007 (18 YEARS!) I smoked 3 packs a day and I had smoked for 35 years.
Just an idea because this girl understands the addiction of HABITUAL practices such as lighting that cig or pouring that glass.
The new "habit" of pouring your tea etc. can turn into something really healthy later, like a nice warm cup of green tea a couple of times a day. THAT would help you lose weight and has a bunch of health benefits.
I hope this helps. I'm with you, my friend, on how difficult this can be. You got this!

Your welcome on the acronyms.
I suppose you would not have to use iced tea. If you could think of anything else that would work it just may help. Soda, Iced or cold brew coffee etc. Just something to give you something to grab at your standard time to feed your habit but not an addiction. Even water with a little vanilla in it so it would slightly color the water. Or Ginger Ale perhaps. Just an ideaβ¦.
I have never been much of a drinker. It's not that I don't like it. In fact, there is very little alcohol that I don't like. Beer, mixed drinks, wine. All of it is good. However, my dad was an alcoholic and died at 59. My brother was very severe and died at 54. My brother was a heavy beer drinker but after he died we found hundreds of those tiny bottles (like shots) empty under his bed so he was drinking the hard stuff too though he always denied it. This has helped me keep a lid on my drinking. I know I am an addictive personality because of the years of heavy smoking that I was so VERY DEPENDANT on. Also, my addiction to food, especially sugar. So I need alcohol which is pretty addictive like I need a hole in the head. I probably drink about 3 times per year and it's usually about 2 glasses of wine or 1 wine and 1 mixed drink of some sort. As long as I don't do it more than that, I have no problem saying no.
I also used Chantix to quit smoking cigs. Luckily my insurance covered it. It was a horrible drug. All the promises of horrid nightmares absolutely came true. It was almost unbearable. But I just kept telling myself that it's not a lifelong drug like my thyroid medicine. Also, when I woke up I could see that the dreams weren't real so I managed to get through it, but it was hard. But quitting the smoking was not hard. Not with the Chantix. Without it I know it would have been impossible because of all the other times I had tried to quit over the years. Chantix REALLY helped with the cravings but not with the habit. The hand to mouth habit or the social aspect of it. That is where my fake cigarettes came in. 18 years later and I still feel so freed!
Anyway, I wish you the very best on your road to self-improvement. I hope everything that you wish for yourself and your life will be something you can attain and achieve.

I am not going to worry about my weight this month; we are heading to Europe soon for a few weeks, and I want to really enjoy it all. I assume I'll be walking a ton and even doing some hiking in the mountains.
I must say that I have done nothing to really lose any weight these last few weeks, no logging of food which I know could really help. I always think "I don't really eat that much in a day." But obviously, I should track to really know how much I am eating!
I remember years ago, I did WW and would count my points dailly. I think the points have changed, but sometime out of habit, I still think about how many points my snacks would be. I remember I would eat 21 points worth of food in a day, and a small bag of doritoes (the one with three servings) would be 9 points. That's nearly half of my day's allowance. Not good.
If you don't hear from me for awhile, you'll know I have limited access to Wifi.

I noticed some of you were talking about weight trends. You can of course use a website to help you determine your weight trend, but there are other ways as well. I'm quite adept at the use of spreadsheetsβGoogle Sheets in particular (I'm a retired programmer). I track a variety of metrics on a Google spreadsheet and created a number of charts that display that data in a number of ways. If you have a Google account, then you have a Google drive where you can save spreadsheets. I'd be happy to provide a spreadsheet template that you could copy and save for your own personal use. You would only need to provide a start date, end date, and desired loss, then enter your weight daily. It could then tell you whether you're on track to meet your goal and what your weight trend is over time.
Here's a couple charts I've created:
This first one shows my weight, two different goal lines and a trendlineβsince July 10th, 2020:
This one shows my ratio of fat mass to lean mass, again since July 10th, 2020:
The second chart is only possible if you have some way of estimating your body composition of fat mass and lean mass. I have a smart (BIA) scale (Withings Body+) that does this.

My word for this week is consistency. Iβm starting to get in a healthy routine, and the scale is moving. GW is within reach. π This week I have bday lunch for MIL, bday dinner for BIL, my bday dinner, and early Fatherβs Day dinner. Phew! Itβs going to take a lot of mental work to stick to plan and not sabotage my success (like usually happens). The challenge for me is having fun without falling off the cliff.

This is week five of maintaining for me. Still a work in progress. I had three days away from home where I ate with abandon. It wasn't unhealthy. It was just three "ample" meals a day. If I gained any weight I was able to drop it by today.
I'm keeping my Friday weigh- in hoping it will help me stay even. Sometimes I find myself eating like I used to, non-stop grazing. The three days of ample meals was crazy. It feels good to be in control now.
Thank you all for being here. It helps me. Every day is a clean slate.

surfergirl, growing up my parents didn't drink or rarely. Holiday they would get a bottle of wine. As a teen, I drank on weekends. I remember the term weekend alcoholic. I think I was one. When hubby and I got married I had a hard time not drinking . I had major withdraws. My uncles were alcoholics. They were drunk every time they visited us and I didn't understand why they would do that to themselves. Over the years we would have wine at supper or right before supper. I liked it. My husband was diagnosed with cancer(s) in 2018, 2020 .2021, 2022. I started drinking to cope with it. He would go to bed and I would start drinking. 2023 december, he passed away. I continued drinking. The last couple months i didn't reach for it everyday. I have almost quit. I drank only once this month. I don't have the need for it. I have started to exercise more.

Well I had an up and down last week so I am grateful to be back to where I was at the last weigh in. I am getting ready for a beach vacation with the grandchildren so who knows what that will bring. I will try to eat as healthy as I can though I do love that soft serve ice cream at the beach.

No plateau yet so Iβll continue doing the same. Activity calories are off, and calories and protein are up. These small adjustments have helped move the scale, slowly, but Iβm happy itβs moving.

I've been grazing a lot. Not too bad. Yesterday I tracked my food. But I did it at the end of the day and by memory. So I really wasn't aware of what I was eating all day. I had no plan. See food, eat food. I can't tell you how many times I opened the refrigerator just to see what was in there. Hahahaha. The same as last time I checked.
It helps to check in here to see everybody succeeding a little bit at a time. If you all can lose, surely I can maintain (right?) I don't know. We'll see.
Keep posting everybody. Persevere. Have confidence.
You all help me be confident. I can do this. I know how to do it. Onward. It's summer time. Last summer I didn't want to wear shorts. Now I feel better wearing shorts.

I'm not great on logging food. I read a post about a guy eating only his bmr. He lost his weight he wanted. he didn't do hard exercise he stayed within 1-3 zone for exercise. he didn't want to spike his hunger by going into zone 4 and 5 . i can see that spiking hunger.
@faurotan good job maintaining! u have it dialed in!

I'm in my late 60's as well, I don't do super hard workouts. Sometimes I push myself hiking or lifting. I am learning my limits. I just want to stay moving and not sit like a lot of "older" people do.

I would like to lose a total of about 100 pounds and have been working on it for too many years (since 2018). I weigh weekly but also on the 1st and last day of each month for a full monthβs account.

Since the beginning of May I have dropped several pounds and my trend weight has been consistently going downward daily. I have had a few misseps. My birthday, Motherβs Day and Memorial Day Holiday weekend all in the month of May. Also some recent travel days. However, I have managed to bounce back from each indiscretion. I really appreciate it when Iβm in these βstrongβ stages. What also helps is that my latest renovation project is finally completed and I finally have some private space and time for proper eating, prep cooking. Now, I need to add the planned exercise back in (and not just intentional movement). I hope this will be a great summer of good habits and change!

I found that I have been trudging around in the 190-195 range since the beginning of August of last year. Almost a year! Really Donna? I think it is high time that I TMI or get off the pot!

Isn't that the truth!!! Bouncing back! And "appreciating what you've done in these strong stages". So true.
