Hi everyone, My name is Carole. I live in Boston, MA and I live alone in a 2-bedroom apartment where I have been for over 40 years. I'm divorced with one married son, age 40 (no grandkids). My 18 year old cat passed away just this past July. I really miss her and I'm hoping to get another cat this Spring. I am 65 years old…

Lost my post again! But here goes: Hi David, Congratulations on completing your first month and with so much progress too! It's very encouraging to hear that you don't have cravings for sweets and alcohol anymore! About the "vegan trial", I don't eat much meat but I do enjoy yogurt, cheese and eggs (also fish); so in not…

Hi! I'm Carole. I've been slacking off lately and need a fresh start. This challenge couldn't have come at a better time! Thanks so much for setting this up, @inmiami4u! My weigh-in days are also Sundays; so I will be posting my weight every Sunday beginning today. JAN 28:152.6 I am also committing to no alcoholic…

Hi David, I keep losing my posts because they time out but I wanted to try again so I can say CONGRATULATIONS! 8 kilograms in 25 days?! That's amazing! I have not been doing nearly as well. My weight went up to to 152.6 pounds (~69kg) and I had alcohol on Friday and Saturday night along with overating. Some of that gain is…

Hi everyone, Discouraging! ! Once again I lost my footing along the path, but I am determined to get back on track!

Congratulations David! You've shown amazing control and that's so inspiring! (To be honest, I had alcoholic beverages on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday of this week but I am back in charge and will work very hard to avoid any additional slip-ups.) I will be weighing in and reporting tomorrow and have already prepared…

Hi David, Thanks for taking the initiative on this! I think it's a great idea for a challenge! Sure, I'd love to join. I'm sure we can do this! I don't really have a problem with sweets, but I'm fully aware that my consumption of alcohol has continually obstructed my goals. After a great start on December 31st, I have…

Need a group that is activity DAILY. Best to all! 💕

Looking for a group that stays active. Best wishes!

Setback! I need a fresh start! Clearing this bookmark for now and hopefully resume my initiative once I get back on the right path. Best to all!💗

Sure I'd love to join. I actually quit on 12/28/23 and selected New Year's Eve as my "Soberversary" date. I must confess that I did have alcohol this past Friday, 01/05/24 (a LOT!), but none on any other day so far. I will post daily in the evenings here (counting total days beginning 12/31/2023) to keep myself accountable…

Good morning everyone, it's a snowy day here in Boston with up to 7 inches expected. Looks like I gained a bit over the past week but I haven't been very active and I did drink alcohol on Friday (and also had a large meatball sub): DEC 31: 146.2 JAN 07: 146.4 JAN 14: JAN 21 JAN 28: JAN 31: Total weight lost in January: 0…

Hi everyone, Forgive my weakness, but I just can't weigh myself every day - the fluctuations are making me crazy! Basically it's been like this: DEC 31: 146.2 JAN 01: 146.2 JAN 01: 147.2 JAN 03: 147.4 JAN 04: 148.2 WHAAAT?! I definitely haven't eaten enough to gain any weight, let alone two whole pounds! It's too…

12/31: 146.2 01/01: 146.2 01/02: 147.2 Not sure why the scale went up a whole pound overnight when I didn't overeat (Whaaa?!), but I promised to report honestly and accurately; so there it is. (Hopefully, it will adjust itself over the next couple of days!) Yesterday's calories: 1,421 Today's steps 8,601 Today's alcohol:…
