Hi everyone, Happy Friday! July Goal Weight (lbs.): 155 or below. (I'd really like to be closer to 150, but I'm not sure I can do that because I have regained more weight than I expected over the past couple of weeks.) Ultimate Goal Weight (lbs.): 139 or below (for BMI under 25). I'm aiming to get there by New Year's Eve.…

Hi everyone, Happy Friday! Oh, well. Guess I couldn't make my "declaration of independence from alcohol" for July 4th and beyond stick. I did drink on the last couple of evenings, but not more than three beers or cocktails at one setting. Still, staying honest and accountable requires me to reset my Sober count, beginning…

Hieveryone, Lots of walking today:

Hi everyone, Boy, am I beat! But...I didn't stop anywhere on the way home and I did not have any alcohol! (I did "entertain the notion"; however, I to abstain!) 07/06/25: 003 days AF (Count started on 7/04/25.) My walk home was about 37 minutes and I was carrying 19.2 lbs. in my backpack and a shoulder bag (groceries)!…

Hi everyone, I would love to join this challenge that runs through September. I will just add the dates as I go to save space. My weigh-in days are Wednesdays (chosen to match the weigh-in days for a two-year wellness program I recently joined called, "Path to Lifestyle Change"). Here is a link with more info: STARTING…

Moving on due to inactivity. Wishing you all the best success! 💞Carole

Good morning everyone, 07/05/25: 002 days AF @SunnyDays930, it's great that you have the ability to limit your alcoholic beverage consumption whatever the reason. Unfortunately, after {ahem} "extensive testing in the field", I am forced to admit that I do not. It's a LOT more difficult for me to cut drinking down than to…

Hi everyone, Resuming count: 07/04/25: 001 day AF Have a great day! 💞Carole

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, @D_Jay_74!🎉🎈🎂 How cool is that, to have your birthday on the 4th of July and having your grandson born on the same day? (Love the picture of you and Brandon!) It's okay if you had cake on your special day - you can make up for that over the next week. Have a great weekend everyone! 💞Carole

Key Measurements as of 7/4: 42"-38"-40"-45" (B,W,H,P) Scale is up today but I had a heavy meal with alcoholic beverages late last night; so I assume I should clear most that over the next few days. Today I declared my "Independence from Alcohol"! I've tried this before, but this time, I'm going to make it stick! Empty…

Happy 4TH of JULY!🇺🇲 Here'show my steps have gone since 6/30: I will post my total steps for today later this evening. Have a great weekend! 💗Mom

Hi everyone, @RubyRed427, I can relate to almost everything you posted, except for the husband part, since I am alone. I still say we can do this and I will never give up! Happy 4th of July! (My fresh Day One!) Since it's Independence Day, I have chosen this date to declare my independence from ALCOHOL (as of 6am this…

I know. I also have made some "false starts" in the past and have fallen off the path. I never give up though. I will focus more on just two or three. groups/challenges so I won't get overwhelmed with trying to keep up with too many. Have a great 4th of July weekend! 🩷Carole

Hi @yellow_rose_sofie, I will wait until Monday to see whether there is any other activity in this group. If not, that's okay. I will clear this bookmark at that time and will focus on my other groups and challenges. If I do see that you have posted, I will enter my workout walk info and total steps for the day beginning…

Hi, I'm not sure whether this group will be active. I will check tomorrow for any new posts by the owner. If I don't see anything then I will probably clear this bookmark and stick with my other challenges as well as the July UAC group. Have a nice evening, ❤️Carole

Way to handle moderation, @SunnyDays930! Sticking to just ONE, and a small one at that! Sad to report that I already broke my latest resolve: Last night I had two, Long Island Iced Tea cocktails and then met a couple of friends and had three, 16 oz. "Castle Island Keeper IPA" draft beers! (Not a true "binge" for me but…

Hi everyone, @SunnyDays930, thanks so much for checking in! Vacation in 2 weeks, that's great! Something to look forward to! I still haven't had any alcohol beginning June 26th. Have a nice night, 🩷Carole 06/30/25: Day 005(complete as of midnight tonight.)

Hi Donna, @deepwoodslady, Congratulations on your 6.4 lb. loss so far! I've started weighing in daily and that seems to help keep me on track. I'm almost out of the 160's! Have a nice evening, 💓Carole

Hi Sofie and fellow members, What an adorable dog!💞 I love my Fitbit Charge 6! It really helps me to track my steps! Here is how my walking went (6/22-6/28): My plantar fasciitis has really slowed me down due to discomfort, but it's started to improve a little bit more each day. I look forward to the challenge beginning…

Hi Sofie! Nice to "e-meet" you. I love the photo of you and your Dad! Thank you so much for the very important, vital service you gave as a first responder! 🏆 I'm Carole, and I posted my intro on the "New Group/New Members" Announcement page. I would love to get back to regular walking for my heart too, and overall health…

Hello! It looks like you preferred each interested MFP member to start a separate discussion to introduce themselves; so that's what I did. Please let us know whether you would like us to post on this thread. Do we have a start date? My official. "RESET" date is Wednesday, July 2nd, which is 26 weeks until New Year's Eve!…
