I was coming on to warn people too :)

Leeg5656 is right about the yellow star. Not sure how to set up notifications, but when you go to community, they will show.

I'm doing the same thing, I am compelled to move, trying to impress it. Lol. I think I'll enjoy learning it, and hopefully stay motivated.

I took the plunge and bought a step tracker. All thats left to do is impress it!

I didn't have a problem with your comment. It was completely true. I agree that we need each other more through the struggles. I have a tendency to hide my alcohol struggles...shame? Maybe we all fight this, I don't know. Its just always been something to hide. I'm trying to break the cycle with you guys. :/

I think this month has been difficult for many of us. Its harder to post when you aren't "winning". I've been trying to stay positive, but... I am here every day with all of you.

Dang, that's what I meant! 6 minutes not seconds.

Consider it practice for the April thread. Welcome! :)

Welcome home by the way. Glad you had such a wonderful trip!

I have been striving to cut back my alcohol consumption. I think in the long run I'd really like to enjoy a few drinks with family and friends, but not drink every day. I guess I'm working toward controlling my intake, so that its enjoyable instead of habit.

Some of these sound delicious! I almost always have grapes, so I might try that one too.

To all the new people, let us know how you are dealing with your cut back or cut out of alcohol. Sharing ideas helps us all. All of us that have been here a while should share what we've done in the past. New people are joining, lets give them the book titles, alternative drinks, etc.! I'll start: the 6 second rule. If you…

Also, its good to hear from regulars that have been missed. Life gets busy, but I was thinking about you.

Welcome to the newcomers! Share your goals, ups, and downs. Everyone here is very supportive, and we are all learning our way...from each other at times. :)

Its never late, welcome! Glad to hear from you. :)

Happy first full day of spring (where I am)! It was 75 degrees yesterday, when spring started,and going to be 50 degrees today. A new season begins! Just like the weather, we are all having our up and down days. Its natural and we have to stop beating ourselves up over it. As long as we keep trying, we are winning. Ok, I'm…

Welcome!

Exactly right! We will all be crying! You are winning, numbers on a scale don't mean as much as how you feel. How proud of yourself you are (and should be).

And the rest of the day to you! I had O'Douls a long time ago. It was pretty good. I'm assuming it hasn't changed much.

Of course, welcome!

Maybe pick 1 or 2 days a week that you don't drink.

Welcome!

Do you want to cut back, Or stop completely?

Hubby and I are staying in and watching a movie. We never go out for St. Patrick's or New Year's Eve.

There's nothing to apologize for! You are sharing your journey. I think its just as important to share the negative aspects, though its harder to do. We all celebrate our wins, and we all have our challenging days. Xo

Are you ok? My mind is blank, can't think of one movie. :/

I don't post often, but I read every single post from all of you. I backslid this month, been going over my goal a lot more than 50% of the time. The amazing thing is that while I was discouraged at the beginning of the month, I've actually been encouraged the last week or so. I've stopped opening a beer because "its time"…

Today is a new day! Also, maybe by next year 2 or 3 glasses will be enough. You're making progress!

Glad you're here. There's lots of support and tips here. This is a great group! I'm cutting back, Or trying to, others are cutting it out completely. Either way you'll have support. :)

Thanks! I'm not into the lights but am seriously thinking about it. I worry about the taste but really need to cut the calories.
