Thank you Julie. I just sent a sample of the book to my Kindle.

I am back (was in and out of the thread a few months ago.) I am not a heavy drinker, but have been a daily drinker most of my adult life. I generally have 1-2 glasses of wine or vodka soda each day. Tuesday night I had more to drink than I should have and woke up Wednesday feeling kind of crappy. I think I drink because it…

I am 5' 7" and 52 years old. I have a small to medium bone structure, but am pretty broad through the shoulders. I have never been overweight, but had gotten up to 145 last spring and just didn't like how I looked. With very diligent tracking and weight lifting (along with lots of walking, but no other cardio) I was able…

I am 5' 7" and like how I look at 125 (profile pic is around that weight). Started at 145 last year - low was 124.5 and maintenance is 125-130.

Finally done with my 3+ weeks of traveling since February 1st. I drank way too much wine while dining out every single evening (generally no more than 2 glasses, but it was every single night). I really want to have more days AF than days drinking alcohol. I am 2 days AF in a row....need to build on that! Thank you all for…

@SaraTN your goal is very attainable! I am 5'7" and 52 years old. From the end of March until the end of June last year I went from 145 to 125. I have stayed in my maintenance range of 125-129 for the last year (average right around 127). Good luck reaching your goal!

I am in for a moist March! I spent the first half of February mostly dry, but I am just finishing up a 11 day vacation and we went out for dinner every night. We shared a bottle of wine or had a couple of cocktails each night. I did not overindulge; however I do not want to drink every night. My March goal is to stay AF at…

My tally in the last 22 days is 18 AF and 4 days where I had some alcohol (but not excessive). I am beginning to believe my daily glass or 2 of wine was just a habit rather than an addiction. I don't really even think about having alcohol now and it doesn't bother me if my husband has a glass and I don't. I don't try to…

I weigh daily and track my exercise, but rarely track my food. I eat the same food fairly consistently so I generally know about how many calories I eat. If I start to get to the high end of my 5 lb maintenance range I eat in a deficit for a few days to get back to the lower to mid-range. I generally stay within about a 2…

Welcome! There is a thread in the "Challenges" forum where a bunch of us are supporting each other on cutting back on alcohol. Maybe you want to jump in there and get some support. Good luck on your journey!

I have been following along on your journeys for the last few weeks and you all have inspired me to drink less. More days than not I would have a glass or two of red wine (and maybe 3 or 4 glasses on weekend nights). Since 1/21/18 I have only had alcohol on 2 days (so 14 days dry in the last 16 days). I call that a…

Everyday ... .first thing in the morning, naked, after going to the bathroom. It doesn't effect my mood, but may change my food consumption for the day. Track weight in Libra and look at the trend.

I allow a 5 lb range - but generally stay within 1-2 lbs (unless I had some serious sodium the day before). My work out schedule is fairly consistent and I am pretty consistent about what/how much I eat so maybe that keeps my range a little tighter.

Did your doctor put you on hormone replacement therapy following the hysterectomy? I had a complete hysterectomy in 2010 at 45 years old and was on Estrogen until March of 2017. I never noticed having a change in my energy level after the surgery, but did notice some memory and "feeling blue" issues. Once the doctor…

I felt so much better this morning. After weighing in at 130.0 on my weigh in day yesterday, I was back down to 127.2 this morning. I am still going to be very diligent this week so that I go into the holiday weekend at the low end of my maintenance range (125-129.9). I have a couple of "swimsuit vacations" coming up in…
