Hi, I am happy for your success with this diet! I've been looking into various diets, but the Mediterranean one is most appealing because I like that type of food the best. Thanks for sharing your success. How have you been doing lately?

Sounds great! Let's lose ten pounds by June! Time to put yourself on the front burner!

@looneycatblue I'm turning 61 in a few weeks. I'm also tired of my bad habit of drinking wine at night - and not just a little. 5 AF is really, really impressive!! Thanks for sharing.

@GiveHerGrace Great job today. Your goal is wonderful. What are your strategies/tips?

Has anyone tried Naltrexone? The NYTimes had an article about RIA Health, which is an online support group that prescribes this. I'm just not hacking it with will power and even if I have an AF day, it lasts only one day. I succumb to evening cravings. I have read some quit lit etc... and am in therapy for family problems…

I had ONE spiked seltzer last night. Major change - I have been drinking a full bottle of wine per night. Last night I took my daughter to the emergency room for an asthma attack. After using a nebulizer and getting some meds, she was fine. It was 10:05 when we left and the wine store was closed. If not, I would have…

Hi all, I posted on the June 2021 site, but will re-introduce myself. Hi! So glad to be back. The last two months have been difficult on me. Family plans and emotions and organization and being pulled in many different directions organizationally and stress-related. July is for me. I've been abusing alcohol to cope - and…

I'm back after a tumultuous couple of months. I have been abusing alcohol, and am determined to get this problem under control. Meanwhile, many emotional issues have pulled on me, and somehow pulled me down a bit. I have organized large family party and burial for my dad's ashes out of state, helped my 89 year old mom with…

Username: vvlucky Weigh In Day: Wednesday PW (Previous Weight): 187.4 CW (Current Weight): 188.8 Thanks for your patience with me!! I'm back, and ready to take on July!

Monday - I finished the last two spiked seltzers. I watered them down with plain seltzer to slow the "buzz" and they lasted all night. Tuesday (last night) - AF. I had a two hour group zoom call 5:30 to 7:30 pm and left kind of stressed out. My knee jerk reaction was to go buy wine, but I didn't. I'd planned to watch a tv…

Hi, I drink wine at night to numb the stress in my life. This is a bad habit, and I am committing to reducing on some nights and eliminating on others. Tonight we have 2 spiked selzers left- and I will drink those. Then eliminate for the rest of the week. I'm tired of waking up hung over. Thanks for listening. I will post…

@melaniedscott Yes, please!!

Weigh in day - I'm sorry! I'm on vacation and do not have access to a scale. I'll face the real world tomorrow.

Also, I'd like to add that I lost 4 pounds, and I feel so happy!!

Hi, I was on Weight No More for April - how do I continue with that group? I find this very motivating - thanks!! Last month I tracked more than I usually do, and exercise more. This month I'm planning on continuing that, and drastically reducing my wine intake. Thanks!!

@dawnbgethealthy The photo is from SC - we stayed at a beach condo for a few days in September. There was a deck outside the unit, and since it was September (during the week), very few people were there. South of Myrtle Beach, somewhere (cannot recall name). @globalhiker Thank you for your suggestions and discussion of…

Hello everyone. I have not posted for a few days. I am struggling with this issue due to family stress. I meditated and prayed yesterday I was definitely not successful with my AF days so far. I will download the Dryades app. Husband and I are both in therapy due to his depression, and my PTSD from raising a mentally ill…

Logged not liked🙄

I liked everything yesterday. I went over my points, but I know why. And I need to address that issue. I did exercise which is a good thing. And I will exercise today.

Good morning! @minstrelofsarcasm Thanks for your post - wow - what a long journey you have been on. I've never read that about soy sauce....but it sounds like quite an experience! ;) I appreciate your open-heartedness and honesty in your post - and I think you are setting the stage for a wonderful month. @Just_kisha…
