    Hey everyone, I'm down a pound today but I was bold last night and drank more than I should have so I'll probably be back up tomor :neutral: . Alcohol is my biggest problem with my weight. I love a glass of wine or a few whiskeys listening to music with the hubbie when the kids have gone to bed. I intend cutting back on the alcohol but I know I will struggle with this especially during lockdown. My calories go crazy though due to it so I have to cut back. Does anyone else struggle more with alcohol calories more than food calories?

    Hi Grace! I was having a couple glasses of wine every couple of days and I gained weight. My issue is that when I drink wine, I eat more calories as I snack on cheese, crackers etc . I stop having wine a week ago and lost 3.8 lbs. it was my first week so it mostly water loss. Let’s see how I do this week. My husband also gained weight so we are both avoiding alcohol which helps. I am drinking ice water in a fancy glass wine 😃

    Hello everyone!

    Weekends are usually difficult for me as I eat more than during the week. I will keep up with my food plan and I am planning to walk later today. We can do this!! 😊

    Can I join? I realize I've been gaining and losing the same 40 pounds for 9 years. Enough. I've had it. I had surgery in January on my knee and I am ready to exercise again. Just bought a magnetic stationary bike and I am out there doing yard work and walking. I want to get in shape.

    Well done, I believe knee surgery is very painful. Lets do this together, check in every day, I'll do it too ;)

    Hope everyone's doing well today! Its finally warm and sunny in NJ, so I got in a great two mile walk with the dogs this morning, and then did some gardening. I also got in a strength and treadmill workout this afternoon.

    Hope everyone else is having a good Saturday!

    Walking is great! I’ve been going for a walk almost everyday now that the weather is nicer.

    Late to the thread but in the same boat as everyone else and totally ready to rock this (:
    2020 has been kind of a downer and I’m hoping that getting on track with my nutrition and getting down to a weight where I feel comfortable will be the highlight of 2020

    Welcome to the group! We all need motivation and encouragement!😊

    Hi
    Hope I’m not too late to join. I want to lose 7 pounds by the end of June. I think this is realistic for me during this period. If I can manage any loss I will be happy tbh.

    I’ve lost just over a pound in the last month, it’s very slow for me and often masked by water weight.

    I’ve never done a group challenge before so hoping it will focus me a bit!

    Current weight 139.

    Thank you! I am so happy to be here. Just having the group makes me feel more motivated. My left leg is very weak from recovery from surgery from a tennis injury and the right one hurts from overcompensation. All the more reason to get weight off. I feel like I’m 90 years old. I will be my healthiest self again! Yesterday I did 50 minutes of cardio out in the beautiful sun. I felt like a bear coming out of hibernation. Good for the soul.
