@sunnydays930, that's AWESOME! :) Congrats on staying AF too! Best wishes for your doctor's appointment on Wednesday!🌷

Hi everyone, I promised to be absolutely honest; so here goes: Both my Wednesday AND Thursday weights showed 155 on the scale. That's actually 2 lbs. MORE than when I started! I still think I can lose another 5-6 lbs. by the first day of Spring, but we'll see. It's horrible how just two, careless days can wipe out FIVE,…

Hi @rainbow2300, I'm glad you're feeling a little better. My son is prone to sinus infections, and whenever he gets it he has dizziness as well, but it sounds like you have no other symptoms. When my friend Mary was experiencing vertigo (feeling like she was drunk and unsteady and slightly nauseous), she went to Mass Eye…

Hi everyone, Hope your day is going well! ~Still AF as of 2/07/25.~ Here is my latest milestone: Have a great weekend! 💕Carole

Wow, @alwixon - that's pretty impressive, maintaining while out of town! I've been basically maintaining at 153 since January 1st. I want to scale to move too (DOWNWARD, that is!) I know what you mean about every pound being a battle - I am only 5'3". Best wishes!💖 (Carole)

I used to be turned down regularly when I was younger due to low hemoglobin. Lately, it's been fine. When I was a child I was always anemic and my mom used to make me eat liver - yuk! I was also anemic while pregnant and had to take additional iron as well as the regular, maternal supplements.

Hi everyone, @Rainbow2300, Sorry to hear about the troubling dizziness symptoms. Is your blood pressure okay? I had dizziness for a few days late last year and it turned out I had an ear infection. It might be a good idea to see a doctor, if you can, just to try to figure out what's going on. Best wishes!🌟 Dear Donna…

Hi everyone, So many team members are doing quite well! It's very inspiring! Today is only four more weeks until the last day of Winter - YAY! I know my usual weigh-in day is Wednesday, but I am waiting until tomorrow to post my weight, because I went out to dinner at 8:30pm last night and ate way more than usual. (I think…

Hi everyone, Hope your day is going well! ~Still AF as of 2/07/25.~ Congratulations on your 10 days AF @sunnydays930!🏆 Wow, that's a LOT of sweets in one day! Fortunately, I don't really crave sweets at all (though I really like dark chocolate), but what gets me in trouble are crunchy, spicy, savory and CHEESE! I also love…

Hi @LowTechForever, I googled it and it looks like it's just a national holiday in the US right now, https://nationaltoday.com/hug-an-addict-or-alcoholic-day/, but no one says someone outside the US can't adopt it if they want, or why not pick your own, special day? A friend of mine and her husband had their 30th…

Hi, @LowTechForever, I'm so glad you're back and wish you 100% recovery - all around! I quit alcohol again as of February 7th, and though I slipped up on February 11th into the morning of the 12th, I decided not to count it because I want to keep my Soberversary date of February 7th ("Hug an Addict or Alcoholic Day!") and…

Hi, @lowtechforever, Welcome back! I'm so sorry to hear about your ankle injury but I'm glad you're feeling much better. I hope you're back up to 100% soon! I've had a lot of ups and downs as well, but that's okay, as long as we stay with it and keep going! Best wishes! 🌷 💗 Carole

Hello, I've decided to jump off this board since there has been no activity. For anyone who visits, I wish you all the best! 💗 Carole

Hi everyone, I renamed our challenge "SOBER (AF) CHALLENGE (Ongoing)", but left this thread as is so hopefully you have it bookmarked so you can come back to it easily.

Good morning, @SunnyDays930 and anyone else checking out this board. ~Still AF as of 2/07/25.~ the scale is going down too! I won't post my weight until my official weigh-in day (Wednesday). I'm in a weight loss challenge on two other boards one ending 3/19/25 and the other ending 4/30/25. My starting weight was 153 lbs.…

Hi @SunnyDays930, Day 8 - that's GREAT!🌹 think you're right. You and I sorry to be the only remaining dinner challenge members active on this board. That's okay with me. I'm just going to stay with it and I promise to respond every time you post and to post something every day to keep the board active. Have a great day. 💗…

AF as of 2/7/25! YAY! I have now earned my 10-day milestone (from the "Sober Time" app! Have a great day! 💗 Carole

Welcome back, @chocolatemint! Thanks so much for your well wishes! I've been kinda "blah" as well, but also like you, I'm not giving up! Here's to a fresh restart!💝 💞Carole

@SunnyDays930, I will. I might have to wait to see if I get a tax refund, but I'm definitely planning on getting some soon! 🌹

Hi @sunnydays930, BUMMER! the sleep chews you mentioned are not available in Massachusetts. That's okay,; I'm sure I can find something similar near me.

Oh, No! I just entered a really long post but didn't save a draft. I had to get up for a second and now it's GONE! It was all about a mocktail I make almost every evening and responding to @Rainbow2300 and @deepwoodslady posts. BUMMER! I will post my mocktail recipe later, but I was saying I'd love to try the sausage stir…

Hi again, Blood pressure is also back to normal! (I just had two, large mugs of French Roast coffee too!) Here it is: How about that? For comparison, below is my reading from February 6th (the day before I quit drinking - again): INSANE, right? As in, I'd have to be "insane" to keep DOING this to myself! I am so relieved…

WOW! Abstinence really does improve sleep scores! Check THIS out! (This is my Fitbit sleep record for last night.) Isn't that amazing?

Hello everyone, ~Still AF as of 2/07/25~ Boston ended up getting about 5" inches of snow last night, then it turned to sleet and freezing rain and now it looks like mostly rain. There looks like there's now an icy glaze everywhere. I'm glad I don't have to go out today! An MFP friend, @sunnydays930, recommended "Good…
