Hello! It’s Amanda, I’m back. It’s a new month and a new year! I’ve been thinking about 2022 and 2023. I’ve got some goals for the year and staying 98% AF is one of them. I love this group, I love this thread, it really works. 1/1-1/7: 7 out of 7 AF 1/8-1/14: 7 out of 7 AF 1/15-1/22: 7 out of 7 AF 1/22: AF 1/23: AF I spent…

Hello, I’m Amanda. I did great with these 10 day challenges in the summer and the fall but some things have changed health wise and I’m finding it harder to lose the weight. Here’s hoping for a more positive outcome this time around. OSW: 250 lbs 1/22 SW: 204.4 1/31 GW: 203.4 1/22: 204.4 Up a little bit due to celebratory…

Hi everyone! My name is Amanda, I am from Michigan. This is my second time on MFP. I lost 55 pounds in 2016, over the years gained it all back plus some. I started again last March with a goal to lose 110 pounds. I’ve lost 45 and would like to lose 45 more this year. It’s a new month and a new year! My goal this month is…

Robyn and Sheila I get to snacking when I am stressed, which is often. And I snack on cashews and dark chocolate. Calorie bombs. I don’t keep things in the house like chips or cookies but I swear if I don’t have at least one piece (0.98 oz) of dark chocolate per day, I’ll kill somebody. I cut way back on drinking in June…

A little under a pound to go and I will be in Onederland! I was really close in October but got really sick and gained 10 pounds. Now I’m back down and close again! More to go after that but reaching Onederland will be a big milestone!

@ashleycarole86 Im glad you are checking in too! A trip to Costa Rica would be SO cool! You’ll have to post some pics!

Hey all, I noticed a few of you are trying to decrease or monitor your alcohol intake. I DO NOT want to hijack this thread so I wont post the link without @quiltingjaine 's permission but there is a Less Alcohol thread here on MFP. It is very supportive, some people are alcohol free, some less alcohol, all different kinds.…

@ahoy_m8 I did, I did. Hmmm.....she is full of drama though. Oh I just found out today she is going on vacation Feb 1-20! I am supposedly her "right hand man." She just went on a 30 day vacation in July. Grrrrr. Must. Take. Deep. Breaths.

"Potential boss names: Damandria, Dramalinda, Dramaryllis ? Sad about your friend's family. Perhaps unsurprising that an alcoholic surrounded himself with people who drank too much. The tiniest glint of a silver lining might be that your friend escaped what sounds like against all odds and is living free. Whew." @ahoy_m8 I…

@SheilaBoneham I saw the puppy picture and forgot to comment! They must have been so cute to watch play. Its like they are either playing hard or sleeping hard. Kudos to you taking on a puppy, thats a full time job! There are 2 Golden Retriever puppies next door to where I pet sit at and they just got neutered so they both…

Hello all, I’m Amanda from Michigan. I belong to 2 other challenges on here but thought I would give this one a try! I will post my weight on Mondays. I lost 45 pounds in 2022 and would like to lose at the very least 45 more in 2023. I have some scary medical procedures coming up in January and have no idea how they will…

@siberiantarragon Im not proud to say this but I have been on many, many psych drugs since I was 15 and it never stopped me from drinking or taking ibuprofen. In my 20s (46 now) I would usually end up getting sick at the end of the night but I didn’t connect the two at the time. Kudos to you for following doctor’s orders…

@MissMay I despise her too. It’s not really fun working for a person you despise. I spent part of the day last Monday looking up ways I could get her license taken away. She is the owner of this practice and it’s not corporate so she answers to no one. Her husband is a big shot lawyer and they have a ton of money. So me…

@clprieur I was diagnosed with breast cancer in October of 2022. After surgery some things came about and there was talk of chemo. I had to get a lot of scary tests done but the cancer has not spread and I found out last Thursday I will not need chemo! I am so lucky! I still have to have some other not so fun treatments…

@Stockholm_Andy Ive seen Yellowstone advertised all over the place here in the US on cable and heard of many people bingeing it. I’m working on The Crown still.

@Sinisterbarbie1 I am sorry to hear about your work trip. Hotel rooms are depressing. I know how much elder care responsibility awaits you at home (I lurked the Sobriety Matters thread) and I know how much effort you have to put into that. Thank you for the tips on radiation. From what I can gather, I need to moisturize…

Hello all! I’m Amanda from Michigan. I set goals in 2023 to eat more fruit and veggies and fiber and to increase meditation. I’m doing well on everything but the meditation. I did very well on these 10 day challenges over the summer and fall but am facing a major health crisis this year and am just struggling to stay on…

@ahoy_m8 I love the ankle carrying story, you must have been a hit in college! @dawnbgethealthy Hoping for your ankle to get better quickly. Are you saying it’s warm for January in BC? I’m in Michigan and the weather has been very odd, lots of rain, no snow, in the high 30s/low 40s but of course gray skies.
