Hi all, I am back from vacation. Did not overdo it with the booze while I was away but last night I had several grapefruit crushes and I feel like absolute death this morning. It is POISON, plain and simple. I am so disgusted with myself. I have a busy day and I just made it that much harder.

I have not been AF but it is not excessive, I am sure due to the semaglutide. So it is not really willpower or mind set change; I simply do not want so much. I am afraid of what will happen if I stop taking it but we will jump off that bridge when we come to it. I have enough through September right now.

I once read you should divide your weight in half and drink that many ounces of water. So 160 lb person should drink 80 oz of water per day. I don't drink nearly that much but I do try to drink as much as I can.

Yesterday at a restaurant, the bartender asked me, "do you want a 5 oz or a 9 oz wine?" In the past it's an automatic "9 oz" but this time I said, "5 oz please". I am sort of wine averse now so I didn't want a large one, plus I wanted to see what 5 oz actually looks like. So, it is way smaller than what I would have poured…

Yay Carole! I am going to be AF until my vacation in 2 weeks and then see what happens. I no longer drink wine but still like vodka so that will be next to go.

@RubyRed427 Please share the salad dressing recipe when you figure it out!

@LittleSurferGirl7 You would definitely want to consult a dr because of your heavy alcohol use. I don't think this is for people with liver issues which I think you mentioned in the past. Perhaps you need to address that first, maybe with antabuse or one of those drugs to help you stop drinking. I wouldn't be worrying…

Hi Carole, that is totally scary and I am relieved you are well. It was good you came clean to your Dr. So many people are dishonest with their Dr. out of shame and that is ridiculous. They are there to help you not judge you. I second everything Ruby Red says. It was well put. I haven't been binging at all because the…

I had a nice sober weekend. I went to see a girlfriend who doesn't drink and we had a blast. I am still not sleeping great but it was way better than if I had been drinking. Keep on, keeping on!

Patience, not perfection. Excellent way to think about it. I have a terrible time logging my food. I feel like I just nibble here and there since I am on semaglutide. I never have a full meal. It really does keep me from being hungry. However this time ( I was on it in 2023) it is NOT discouraging me from having wine like…

Yes I have the free version. It is OK I don't need to write down my exercise but I do need to do it!

I find when I eat a lot in a short period of time…say, 2 BBQ's over 2 days) if I get immediately back on track, it comes off just as fast as it was gained. So yesterday when I weighed in, my weight was up(after the holiday) but today I went back back down 1.2 lbs. The secret is to go back to your healthy eating right away.…

Thanks for tips but I can't figure it out. I don't see a triple dot option anywhere. And some options show a lock icon next to them and when I click them it gives me an offer to pay extra for MFP. No thanks. I'll just write 0 calories for the exercise.

Does anyone know how to log your exercise but not give you those extra calories for food? I can't figure it out though someone on here mentioned that they do that. Please advise!

BBQ debauchery has ruined my goals. Still, I will face the music and weigh in tomorrow. Agree with the above posters, alcohol has no upside and is full of poisonous, empty calories.

I am resetting my sobriety clock today. Carole, you are inspiring me! Good job! The holiday BBQ's wrecked all my goals. Today, I refocus.

I'm feeling a bit discouraged because my weight has just been stuck even though I think I am eating less, moving a lot etc. It is SO hard to lose weight after 50 and even harder after 60. Now we have Memorial Day weekend with BBQ's etc. I just have to be mindful of portion sizes and not overdue it. Happy Memorial Day to…

I am right there with you. I need to get at least 3 days under my belt AF to get some traction but I just keep making excuses as to why I "need" a drink. I am seeing my daughter that lives overseas in a few months. I need to do this to help improve our relationship overall and our time together in September. I need to…

@patriciafoley1 a 67 lb weight loss is a huge accomplishment. Way to go!

I need a good book. This sounds interesting. I, too, have been drinking for days for the same reasons as Ruby Red. Not today. I need a break. We just got a foster dog so hopefully I will put my attention on her instead of wine. She is young so she requires lots of walks and attention. Plus as you can guess, my sleep has…
