Hello everyone, Happy Weekend! Looking forward to more hours of daylight! I don't like this new editor. It doesn't look like it's saving drafts anymore and it seems like "@" tags aren't working either! Boo. From today through March 19th we have 12 days. I will be resetting my fitness pal starting date to Thursday, March…

Hello everyone, Happy Weekend! Looking forward to more hours of daylight! I don't like the new editor either! @walkintofitI hope your office and computer get fixed soon! Shift+enter while online with your laptop should give you a new line without making it a new paragraph, but I'm not sure how to do it while in the phone…

Okay...TRUE CONFESSIONS: I'm sitting in a bar right now having a beer with a friend - so OOPS! PLEASE, don't get me wrong - I am taking this seriously, but I've decided to jumpstart EVERYTHING on March 20th: Logging, activity, abstinence -the whole shebang! I'm even planning to reset my start date with MFP! I've updated…

Hi Victoria @newmeat30, Thanks for starting this challenge - it sounds like a GREAT idea! I'm going to start my own challenge, called, "SPRING into SUMMER" on the first day of Spring (March 20th - TWO weeks from NOW), but I need all the reinforcement I can get to stay accountable, and I love reading about other members'…

Hi everyone, So, the verdict is IN! (I promised to be honest…) I weighed myself this morning and was 157, FOUR POUNDS higher than my January 1 weight of 153. My best hope at this point is to get back to 153 by Spring and then set my sights on losing ten pounds (or more) by Summer (June 20th). I still think I can do it. I…

So much for my objective to lose ten pounds by SPRING {Oops.} I still hope to lose at least eight pounds by the end of this challenge. Hi everyone, I've been having a really "off" week and my lifestyle has gone "off the rails" with eating and drinking alcohol and not moving much at all! I started over again around 7pm on…

Hi everyone, I've been having a really "off" week and my lifestyle has gone "off the rails" with eating and drinking alcohol. I started over again around 7pm on March 4th, also known as "March Forth"! That's what I plan to do. What's done is done; so back to square ONE! AF since 03/04/2025, 7pm. "Get ready to march forth…

Hello everyone, Hope you had a pleasant Sunday. @SunnyDays930, I'm so glad you're feeling much better now! Hang in there! AF since 03/01/2025, 7pm. I stayed in today; so I remained safe from temptation. I will check back in tomorrow. 💗Carole

Hello everyone, Dear Donna @deepwoodslady, I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your beloved best friend! I wish you strength and comfort over the next difficult days. May her memory be a Blessing. She will always live in your heart. I really went overboard with both eating AND drinking over the past few days, but all…

Hi everyone, ~Last alcoholic beverage: 03/01/2025, 6:30pm.~ Dear @SunnyDays930, I'm so sorry for all you went through over your recent bout! My skin is horrible after a drinking binge as well. I agree that alcohol truly IS poison! (Very sad news about Michelle!) I hope your symptoms are all gone by morning. 15 days AF is a…

Hi, everyone, @RubyRed427 and @LowTechForever, so glad you're BACK! You are both 3 days' FREE ahead of me! That's fine. It's not a "competition" - we're more like a support group, although I am challenging myself! No alcohol today and I won't have any for Thursday or Friday either (I have literally NO money available until…

Hi everyone, So, as I feared, my weight is up for this week. This morning the scale said, 156.0, which is 3 lbs. UP from my starting weight. I'm sure some of that is bloat, but we'll see what the scale says next Wednesday. This week I'm going to be diligent about food and activity logging and I will try to get at least 30…

Hi everyone, Well, Tomorrow is weigh-in day. I'm afraid I might be up again (been really "chowing down!"); so I need to pull out all the stops to make the "home stretch" of the final three weeks truly count! (I'd like to lose at least 10 lbs. from whatever tomorrow says by the end of this challenge. Can you believe…

Hi everyone, Well, Tomorrow is weigh-in day. I'm afraid I might be up again (been really "chowing down!"); so I need to pull out all the stops to make the "home stretch" of the final three weeks truly count! (I'd like to lose 5-6 lbs. from whatever I weigh tomorrow by then. Can you believe Saturday is March 1st? WOW. (At…

Hi everyone (or maybe just "Hi, me" for now), That's okay; I'm hanging in there, because imperfect though I am, I'm in this for the long haul! I slipped up again; so I've decided to cancel my latest effort and kickstart again. I will set my new "Soberversary" date as March 1st, but I am quitting as of right now! >BOOM!< I…

Air popped popcorn with cayenne and garlic powder and a little butter-flavored salt. I also make homemade tortilla chips with Mission Carb Balance tortillas and buy fresh, hot salsa to dip them into.

Hi everyone, Hope you had a nice weekend. I'm so glad it's warming up in Boston and all the ice and snow are starting to MELT - YAYY! Maybe I'll be able to walk home all five days this week (2.3 miles each way). HOPE so! I need to incorporate more activity. The lady from whom I adopted my cat came to visit yesterday and…

WOW, @faurotann, you sure did hang tough, resisting those chips at such a bargain! I'm not so into sweets, but I really love, crunchy/salty snacks! (Don't you hate how they tempt us while we're waiting in line to check out? Not fair!)

Hi everyone, Hope your day is going well. ~Mostly AF as of 2/07/25.~ (I'm just being honest about above, because frankly I have had a couple of slip-ups since my latest restart, but I still want toc ount the 7th as my start date because that's when I really started to get serious about my efforts to remain truly alcohol…

Hi everyone, I hope you're having a great day. Congratulations on your weight loss, @faurotann! Every little bit counts, and it's better than I'm doing right now! Hi @sunnyday930, those girl scouts can be dangerous! I especially live the thin mint ones. I never tried them frozen. That sounds like a great idea! Still, I…

Hi everyone, I hope you're having a great day. Hi, @Rainbow2300 , I haven't really noticed a shortage of supplements on shelves and stores because I generally buy from Amazon however I've no I've cut way back on purchasing supplements because my budget is really tight right now; so basically I just have multivitamins for…
