Sir, the original post wasn't english lesson ... it was a helpful motto for people trying to abstain from alcohol under social pressure. When you said "am I missing something?" ... yes you are. What she said was grammatically correct (since you're and English teacher you might care about that) ... but what you were missing…

. . . Have fun being 'that guy'.

^^ this person's profile photo matches their attitude exactly. Too funny... Since you seem the simple type; here is the cliff notes version of what a one word sentence is... https://www.cliffsnotes.com/cliffsnotes/subjects/writing/what-is-a-one-word-sentence-called

@MissTeriAnn ... 3 miles! At what pace ?

Day 3 is always the worst. Somewhere in days 5 or 6 you'll start getting bad heartburn. Once this passes it means your body is not producing acid anymore. The fast gets much easier but great care needs to be taken when coming off the fast to not get sick. See a doctor regularly and dont plan on going to work if you really…

I got through the weekend by locking myself in the house. Not a permanent solution I know... but it's what it took.

@SisterSueGetsFit ... good luck! I got through my first weekend by locking myself in my house and not being social. I know its not a long term solution ... but I just wasnt ready to be around it. Let us know how it goes!

How does it feel? Not any better yet. But its early. Im giving it two weeks to start feeling better.

Just got through my first AF weekend in over 10 years. Having done a weekend cycle helped my confidence.

@SweetMostly ... make your food journal public so we can see your patterns. Do you have a specific diet you're following ?

My experience with keto: Background: 2 years ago i lost 45 lbs on keto... i have since gained it back. -Agrees with my stomache (not everyones) -Lose tons early (water weight dropoff) -Energy swings correlated to what food I eat... i came to enjoy this. Side note: I found a run always helped ke expel what's left of a…

@vikka_V I've never tried them but I'm going to now!

SW: 186 CW 182.6 With the initial water weight loss I thought it'd be more... but it's the right direction.

I quit alcohol October 1st before i knew sober October was a thing. Had a big fight sunday night and realized ... I had to change... Hasn't been easy as I'm coming off a 6-8 drink a day habit ... but I am proud to have made it through my first weekend. Goodluck to you ... we can do it!!

It is pomegranate juice as I am doing Sober October. perfect red wine substitute.

Me too! April 1 is my goal. How much are you trying to lose ? What plan are you following (if any)?

Oh those potatoes !@! I love potatoes I try to not eat them at all during the week

I have been diligent all week... so I had a treat meal, 9 hour smoked ribs on cherry wood (just salt and pepper) ... homemade fries with garlic aioli. Spicy hot v8 to drink.

2 lbs is nothing ... itll whoosh right off ... probably at least half water

I also wish I had an answer to this. I work in an office and am self conscious of sweat of BO to try and workout at lunch. With a baby I have no time at home. I have settled for now on stretches and coordination training over lunch and a light workout immediately after work when baby naps.

I'm also doing sober October and I found pomegranate juice is the perfect red win substitute ... ... but is 150 calories in 8 ounces!!!! Ugh. Dinner:

Me ... trademark crazy hair ...

Never done a "challenge" .. but I started on Oct. 1 so I'll be following along.

Well i made it through Friday night. Pretty big hurdle.

*dawww* thanks so much

What kind of workout do you do? What is you current weight and your goal weight? Any specific diet you follow? Let us know these and you'll find someone to team up with who's doing the same plan

Glad to see this is catching on! I've been good about small lunches... and i bought running shoes yesterday (to mostly walk in I'm sure haha)

Thank you gwc

I do think it's important to know that if you use thermodynamics anda calorie in really does equal a calorie out then you can lose as much weight as you want without doing any exercise that said perhaps In the beginning you could look into upper body focused things that do not hurt the knees Reasons I would like to lose…

Wes, that is exactly where i want to get to, but i need to go through the full cleanse first. Hrod, my goal right now is quitting the alcohol, and more tracking than limiting consumption for the first few weeks. i agree it's a lot to take on. Every day is getting worse not better to be honest.
