    Im battling a drinking problem (I really enjoy beer and wine) and am trying to wean off safely. With the holidays coming up, it's gonna suck *kitten*.

    I have decided to give up alcohol again fully. I seem to binge drink these days when I do drink. I no longer just have ever 1 or 2 I have the bottle. So no more for me.

    Are we gonna streak? I'm willing to start up again Dec 26.

    I'd be up for starting after New Year's. I know when I gave up drinking when I started low-carb it really helped shed the pounds.

    Well, we could do a XMAS to New Years challenge then start a 365 streak for 2017.

    Guys, I think I have to give in and admit I am sick. I am light-headed and nauseous. I went to bed at 5:00 last night and slept til 5:00 this morning. I came to work today because calling in sick on Friday before a three day weekend, who would believe me? I am totally working through lunch and going home as soon as possible, though.

    Sorry, Quik! That is a bummer. Hopefully you can get out early. What a bummer to be sick for the holidays.

    So, sometime today, I saw Quik needs a new house angel. I could use one of those, but I feel cheated. I'm supposed to have Rosie the Robot by now. And a Jetsons hover car. (although my friends in the ER are probably fine with people not being able to crash into each other and then into the ground)

    Roomba?

    Nope. Rosie folded the laundry and put it away. LOL!

    OH!!! YES, PLEASE! I have a freaking mountain of laundry to fold and put away. That was my goal for tomorrow.

    I have been good about not letting my laundry pile up until I have 3 hours of folding and putting away, but that was mostly while Jill was living with me. Now that she moved out and the spare bed is free again... it is starting to collect. Luckily with the cleaning lady coming 2x a month it has forced me to put it away every 2 weeks.

    We might not even make 2000, which was the first number, right?

    Yep. Unless people get reeeeally inspired to post some holiday-related confessions. :p

    I've completely given up logging or monitoring in any fashion, my food intake until after the first of the year. My calories and macros can jump right off a bridge. :smiley:

    Hard reset 1/3. Everyone party for my birthday on 1/2, okay?

    I'll toast you with a coffee. :)

    As for holiday related confessions.....I have been making lots of toffee and pretzel turtle candy (pretzel, Rolo, pecan) and I cannot keep myself out of them. I may have to make more of the turtles tonight! The sugar is the main reason I have jumped 11 pounds since October... :/

    Hugs! To make you feel better, I confess that I've gained 50 pounds this year through all-out binge eating. :(

    @Susieq_1994 - I hope it gets better soon!! It has been stressful the last part of the year, but I can't blame anyone but me for what I gained.

    Yep, same here. It's all me! I'm pretty proud of myself, I've been back to logging for 1.5 months now... But in the meantime I've gained a grand total of about 90 pounds. Woohoo? :neutral:

    You can get in on our hard reset, too!

    I'm so in! I'm in three different challenges right now, trying to get myself all motivated. ;) I'm in a calorie logging challenge with Nicci and Patricia, a weight loss challenge with some non-MFP friends and my sister, and then of course the weekly step challenge, in which I try to beat @tobistat every week. ;)

    You and Tobi are ridiculous on the fitbit steps. LOL ;) I feel good if I'm even in your general vicinity, steps-wise.

    Feel comforted by the fact that I'm unemployed and therefore I get to step and read all day long. :p If I was working I wouldn't get half of what I do!

    Exactly, Susie! I don't work either so that's why I get a lot of steps. Makes me feel bad when I win because it's not really fair to the people who are working!

    True. But I enjoy the challenges so much that I don't want to stop playing them! Most of the time it's me vs. you vs. Danny. :p

    I don't want you guys to stop either. It's motivating. Consider it a public service to us low steppers!

    I plan to get back to walking in 2017. So if there are challenges, please consider putting me on the list!

    I'll add you! Jump in tho we fill up!

    Maybe it's time to start making two challenges again? It's hard to fit us all into just one! I've noticed that a lot of people get left out week to week. :)

    I know because I do a rematch and if they didn't make one week they get left off the next. Sometimes I remember to invite them back. Mostly not. But if we do I want to do it randomly. I hated that 'high stepper' 'low stepper' designation in the past.

    oh whoops. Sorry, think we're opposites on this then :)

    I know with my lifestyle i cannot keep up with the high steppers and find it quite demotivating, whereas with people who are around 1k steps of me, i will try harder to get in front

    Hmmmm. Okay so maybe we offer 2 options. I want to be in the high stepper group even though I don't usually keep up as I find It motivating. So we claim a high and low and then we pick where we want to go vs. getting assigned?

    Even my cleaning angel coming doesn't guilt me into getting it done...

    I confess that I talked Mr. Susie into monetary weight loss rewards. For every kilo I lose (2.2 lbs), I get 15 riyals towards a Kindle book. (When it comes to books I spend money like water, so we have a pretty strict monthly book budget agreed on--so losing weight gets me extra!) Milestone weight numbers (every ten kilos) get me double that. I'm greedily hoarding all of my earned book money so I can look at all the money and see what my weight loss got me! I can't seem to bring myself to spend it. :D

    I discovered used books at the Idaho Youth Ranch (a second-hand store). All paperbacks are $1.00!!! And half-price on Sundays! I bet I've saved at least $1,000 dollars so far.

    I LOVE secondhand bookstores, we had one in Oman! We'd go in there and get bags and bags of shabby looking books for nearly nothing. We don't have one here though. And the cost of books in bookstores is crazy high, almost unaffordable. So I buy e-books. :)

    I read most of it, but I call troll. It's a little too weird to be real!

    I like that idea. :) People who feel motivated by the high stoppers can ask to be placed in that group, and the ones who feel demotivated by people with really high steps can be in a group that's closer to their average step number.

    ETA: Stoppers?? Thanks autocorrect... That's totally what I was going for. Not.

    I finished my shopping this morning. Of all the days I've gone shopping, today is the only day I bought anything for myself. I got 3 pairs of socks because mine are all getting worn out. I'm a good girl and I'll even wait for Christmas. I'll give them to my husband to put in my stocking! o:)
