Good morning, everyone. I hope everyone did their best in sticking to whatever goals you had this weekend. I was trying to make it to Thursday with no alcohol. I did well until last night, then I had two glasses of wine. The Sunday scaries got to me. Still going to aim for the remainder of the week AF. Happy Monday :smile:

Hello everyone, I am new here. As of today, I am trying to drink less. Right now I am aiming to get to 11/21 alcohol free which sounds like real challenge to me right now. Hope everyone is having a nice Friday.

Yep - I love his workouts! I can't do them often, but they burn a lot of calories, very similar to Zumba but of course it's all dependent on how much effort you're giving the movements. Doing them at a low intensity will burn less calories than doing them at a high intensity, but no matter what you're burning calories.

48 lbs

I want to really work on my core strength, and get back to taking zumba classes as often as my body allows :)

I got a dog a few weeks ago. He's my therapy dog, so quality time spent together is very important. However, I isolate myself quite often from the outside world. But since I got him, I don't just take him outside to potty, I take him for a walk every single time he needs to go out. The chance to interact with others is…

I walk "laps" in the conference room

Went to a donor appreciation event at the Cincinnati Zoo last night. They do a holiday Festival of Lights and we got the first look. Not too many options, but they serve a great local pizza so I had a piece of pepperoni and a side of fries. I also split a Pepsi with my boyfriend.

I am in recovery for an ED as well. I tried to do it by myself, and couldn't so I've been in therapy since April. For the first time in my life, I am losing weight in a healthy way. Every day, every minute is hard but just know that you can get better and recover. So, so, so many hugs <3

You aren't being rude for saying no, they are being rude for not listening. Keep saying no, taking it and throwing it away is fake and wasteful and encourages them to keep doing it.

I got 2 dips on sale at the kroger cheese shop, always such great markdowns. I got a feta dip that had black olives in it, and a cheddar cheese ball. Had a few scoops of each on some pretzels with a glass of white wine.

He should have flown an airline that didn't have that rule, or ask if he could buy a second seat for his furry friend.

Most folks on here will say you don't need any exercise to lose weight, but it will increase your deficit which is what always helped me. I started in February, and since then the only workouts I do consistently are walks and I have lost 35-ish lbs (i'm up a few lately, but around there). Leslie Sansone is great because…

I love it, but I love to sweat. I feel so amazing afterwards, but it is difficult and you sweat a lot so if you don't like sweating it's not for you.

cookies and snickers >:)

usually somewhere between 2-4 pm

avalanche bark sounds amazing and i just downloaded the recipe!!!

I'm bringing my dog! He likes to eat with the hoomans.

I wouldn't trade my cats for any dog in the world, but I would say I am generally speaking more a dog person.

I have a Garmin vivofit HR and I love it. The app is easy to use and I especially like the sleep tracker. It does a good job of recording "active minutes" and it gives you realistic goals and automatically adjusts them as you progress. It also doubles as a watch, and is a normal size so it doesn't look big and bulky on my…

A friend of a friend did it. She had lost a bunch of weight but still had a bit of a "belly pouch." She got sono bello on her belly and love handles. It worked, so she said, but she has since gained at least some of the weight back. Which is why I always wondered why people get lipsuction. It's so expensive and you are…

That makes a lot more sense than saying obese people are just existing. Thanks for the context.

People appreciate it when you correct their grammar and spelling.

It is bad for the environment to pick up your dog's poop with a plastic bag. Go green and use your hands.

You should definitely still date him if he is married. Clearly he is a catch if he already found someone to marry him!

You should cut your own bangs.

so you're suggesting people who are obese are not living their lives? That's a really ignorant statement.

I definitely used to believe it helped weight loss. However, in the last few years my water intake hasn't changed at all and it didn't help or prevent me from gaining 40 lbs, or help or prevent me from losing 30 so far. I drink a ton of water because I feel better doing that, but I don't think it helps weight loss.

then again, i can see it making sense to reverse it so that we don't have SO much darkness in the winter. idk, i see the pros and cons of all the scenarios I guess but I like it.
