  • My husband and I were cutting back together. He gave up on that though, because he had terrible insomnia. It is harder by myself, and I have been backsliding some. But! I am still better off than I was. For instance, last night, I had two beers, thought about a third, and then thought, "no, I have an early morning…

  • SW:134 CW:130.2 GW:115 I did pretty well until the weekend. We had guests. I had forgotten the trick—if I know dinner is going to be a blowout, at least minimize calories at breakfast and lunch. Oh well, slow progress is still progress.
  • I was doing really well drinking less. My husband and I had a plan that we only drink when we are out, or have guests. But not the two of us at home. I also went backpacking for a week, and alcohol was just not available. My husband quit our plan. Somehow he doesn’t get hangovers??? And also he needs alcohol to sleep. It…

We are having... mixed success sticking to that, but overall we are on a positive trend. Next week, I am going on a six-day backpacking trip. No…
  • SW:134 CW:132.2 GW:115 I thought I was doing so good! Now I get to hamster-wheel all week! Was I not as good as I thought? Did I put on muscle? Was I dehydrated last week? Random bad luck? Argh!
  • Less eating, less drinking. More Quest protein shakes (filling and a scoop is only 110 calories). Getting back into running.
  • 1 week down SW: 134 CW: 131.5 GW: 115 Feeling good. I was backpacking this weekend, and went a little over calorie-wise, but I was also exerting myself more than usual, so I think it balances out. Psyched to see some progress!
  • I'm in. Starting weight 134, goal 115. (I'm short and small-boned.)
