My granddaughters are girl scouts and were selling cookies out in front of the grocery store today so I bought 6 boxes. I am possessed by a sugar devil, plus I wanted to support their troop. I will put them in the freezer but everyone knows they are just as good frozen!

I have a Dr appointment next…

@Walela617 Your current weight is my dream weight! I guess it is all relative. Yesterday I decided (and posted here) that I was eating way too many sweets, so yesterday I didn't have nearly what I had been consuming (though I did have 1 cookie) and guess what..I lost another lb. I haven't had an alcoholic beverage in 11…

I am 10 days AF today. Now it is time to tackle the sugar. Yesterday I had various amounts of: Cookies, chocolate cake, gingerbread, peanut butter M&M's, a mini cinnamon roll.....I may be forgetting something. Anyway I do not want to develop diabetes as well as gain weight so today I will try not to consume any sweets.

@Walela617 I think it is just the 2 of us lately but congratulations! I am right behind you. Day 8 AF and I feel great!

Look for something with the ratio that I have. Good luck!

@Walela617 The gummies are by Curio Wellness. On the package it says Good Night. The flavor is blueberry. There are 10 chews which I cut in HALF because believe me, you will feel it. They are 10 mg CBN and 5 mg THC. Honestly, they are better than any wine buzz. HOWEVER I do not want to switch one addiction for another so I…

My weight has been stuck for days. It is so frustrating but I must be patient. The weather here has not cooperated for walks. Today we have a high wind warning so I won't be walking today either. I have quit drinking which has awakened my sweet tooth like a bear coming out of hibernation. I need to get that under control…

Day 6 AF today. My weight is stable though not going down fast. I am sleeping like a baby. My mood is so much better. I still have cravings and suppose I always will but they are manageable now. I truly take it one day at a time and don't think about "forever".

Read the labels on the sauerkraut. I found a brand in the refrigerated section called "Bubbies". It comes in a jar and the 3 ingredients were cabbage, water, and salt. Now that is basic! It's fermented using naturally present bacteria cultures. However it is like 3x as expensive as the other kinds. However I guess we are…

Happy Valentines Day everyone! My husband and I are taking the 3 grandkids bowling (they are off school) which should be interesting. Luckily, they have lane bumpers where we are going. Then we will go out to lunch. I am not really losing weight though I am day 5 AF. That is my main goal right now and I have faith the…

Although I weigh in officially once a week, I do weigh myself every day and I have been stuck at the same weight for 4 days. I need to go back to drastically cutting back on dinner....like just a bowl of soup. I was prepared to do that last night, but my SIL called last minute and asked if we wanted to go out for sushi. We…

@Walela617 Thank you for your kind words. I am on Day 3 AF and am sleeping much better. My husband bought some gummies (legal where we live) and I had a half one before bed last night. It helped me to sleep 7 straight hours which is absolutely unheard of for me. I, too, am distressed about the dismantling of the…

I have been trying to eat some sauerkraut every day. It is very good for you and can help you lose weight. There are lots of recipes online to try. Here is an article on the health benefits. https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/benefits-of-sauerkraut#digestion

Update: I slept like a baby most of the night but had to go to guest room as hubby was starting to snore. I listened to a YouTube "sleep music" and fell back to sleep for another 3 hours. As you can see from my 2 drastically different posts, alcohol deeply affects my mood and sleep. I am learning a lesson here. Have a…

I had a very bad night on Sunday, Super Bowl night. I had nearly 2 bottles of wine during the course of the day. Then I had a horrible night's sleep and terrible, frightening dreams. My late father was in it, warning me about something. I woke up with my heart beating about 100 bpm which stayed high for hours. No alcoholic…

I am a huge football fan but I don't really like either team this year so I may not watch it at all. If I do, I will not have anything other than seltzer water with lime. I have got to get my diet back under control.

Welcome to those new to the challenge. We are glad to have you! I come here whether I gain or lose because it helps keep me accountable. I have not been exercising as much as I should, but I rarely sit down...I nanny 2 days a week to a human monkey who keeps me running 8 hours straight. The other 5 days I am pretty active…

@womona I agree the weight creeps back up with the drinks. I can see it on the chart (I track my weight daily on this app) and when I started drinking again, it went back up. However I read that sauerkraut helps your body in so many ways after drinking, that I have started having a big bowl of it in the morning. Here is…

My mantra this month: No more excuses. Feb 1 A Feb 2 A I'm getting real with myself now. I was AF for a long stretch and like so many others I thought, "oh now I can control it." Wrong. I need to keep doing the work which means continuing to watch videos about sobriety and continue to educate myself about exactly what this…

I am here to be accountable. I have been drinking again and I do not want to go on this way. Day one for the millionth time. I think it was global hiker that mentioned the sober again series on you tube. Thank you so much! I watched 1 with my husband and will continue to watch him. It is excellent.
-
@globalhiker thanks for the tip about the getting sober again YouTube. I watched one and I love it. He makes so much sense.

I am in for February! Thank you for continuing this group, @MissMay .

I'm in again. My weight has crept back up since eliminating Wegovy. It really does work if anyone is wondering, but I didn't want to stay on it forever. I will post my starting weight on the 1st. Thanks Ruby Red for continuing this challenge!

4 days left! Let's finish strong!
