Hi all, long time MFP member here. I've got a few great pals who have been with me from the start on here but looking for some new active friends as others have left. I'm at or around goal weight with a focus on strength training and rehabbing after injury. I know how I should eat and what works for me but don't always do…

I've had no alcohol since 3rd March and even that was only one cider. Haven't really fancied it :o I was on a bit of a roll with exercise and eating pretty well and slowly seeing results. Come to a bit of a halt now as had my shoulder surgery yesterday. Will prob allow myself max of a week to slack off, eat whatever is…

Bridget, another shy introverted homebody here! :) I think I've had 3 beers over the course of this week, but it could be 4..... if they really count as beers. I've found an amazing thing - low carb protein beer. Small bottles and expensive but only 97 calories 21 grams of protein and 1.5 g carbs. It has a sweet fruity…

I've enjoyed reading everyone's stories too. I hope everyone is having a good weekend - especially Sydney with the anniversary celebrations.

I'm Yvonne (obvious!) been on MFP for about 6 years and with the lushes from pretty much then. I sometimes forgot to post in here for a while but love catching up on where everyone is at. I'm 41, from Surrey UK. I work in healthcare in the NHS. Sadly behind a desk now due to my health rather than directly caring for…

Monday 0 Tuesday 0 Wednesday 1 glass of wine Thursday 0 Friday 1 kiwi and lime cider Happy weekend lushes

Goal for February, sort out my nutrition - eat what I know I should in order to get the body I want....easy right :D Monday 0 Tuesday 0 Wednesday, a very naughty glass of wine, but hey, I didn't spontaneously combust by mixing alcohol with my meds so may do it again some time. Thursday 0

Happy weekend lushes, someone please have a drink for me. I really really really fancy a glass of cold white wine. Still on enforced abstinence thanks to the pain meds

Nice 0's, you survived having your tooth drilled on Wednesday without the bourbon, impressive

Have had a pretty much dry January up til now. Not supposed to drink on the pain meds I'm on ( slight spanner in the works with issues with my neck and nerves down left arm) Anyway a glass of wine has totally hit the spot tonight. Not sure if it's the abstinence lately or the combined effect with meds but it's made me feel…

New fridge arrived got the essential supplies in there

Argh my fridge has broken just in time for Christmas. New one coming tomorrow as gotta have something to chill the wine in! Managed to squash the important food into my Mums fridge temporarily. It's lovely to read about everyone's Christmas plans and yummy food. Enjoy

Enforced 7 days of no lushness. Have muscle spasm and trapped nerve in neck and meds prescribed meant I couldn't drink alcohol :'( mind you I have lost most of the week to being in a drug induced daze anyway! So eating crap and 10 days since I've been able be work out properly, it's all going to pot. Back to gym tomorrow…

Hi all, I've been in a bit of a rut. Drinking to much and not eating the right foods. My mum has moved to be near me recently as she needs more help day to day. She also had a nasty fall just before she moved, dislocating her collar bone ( very lucky it wasn't worse). It's been a stressful time for both of us. Don't think…

I was proud I managed a 0 yesterday but still woke up this morning feeling like I'd been run over by a steam roller. Where's the justice in that! So I decided I'm going to drink some red wine tonight. Might as well wake up feeling rubbish for a reason. Hope everyone has had a good weekend. I'm very lucky to have some extra…

I have been very lushy and not getting to the gym very often the last 2 weeks. Although I'm pleased I managed a 0 yesterday. My aunt passed away last Monday so I have been planning the funeral with my sisters as we are the closest family and my mum isn't able to manage it on her own. I've decided until after the funeral on…

Happy weekend, I'm drinking Chinese beer to go with Chinese takeout, if you're gonna do it, you might as well do it properly! Took my frustrations out on a huge creeping ivy bush in my garden this afternoon. I was only going to trim it a bit but ended up wrestling with it hacking chunks off. I'm fed up with it taking over…

Hi everyone, I'm a bit late to the party this month. I was being good with food and drink but had a rubbish week. Found out my aunt is terminally ill last Thursday so getting my head round that has involved some emotional eating and drinking. Work has been stressful on top. I've lost count of what I've drunk this week it's…

Well I managed to stretch my bottle of wine over 2 nights. After a week of far too much chocolate and some alcohol I've rather amazingly lost 1cm off my waist. Not sure that would be a good long term strategy, but hey! I'm celebrating with a Jack Daniels

I'm eviej1 on Garmin anyone feel free to add. I could do with some friends on there.

Oh Robin :s well it's 8pm here so definitely time for a drink! It's always drink o'clock somewhere in the world.... So your 5.56 is deffo not too early. Thanks all for the kind comments, I've had a slightly better few days with food. Been to the gym the last 2 days so going to open a bottle of wine tonight. I will try not…

No alcohol Mon or Tues but I made up for it in chocolate :( I'm emotional eating and just don't care it's sabotaging my weight loss plans. Having a bit of a blip but know I'll get back on track soon. Might have some wine tonight otherwise I'll have to find a chocoholics anonymous group instead of hanging out with the…

Oh whoops I appear to have inadvertently drunk the entire bottle of wine and accompanied it with a load of junk food. Moderation, if only :-(

Prosecco is chilling in the fridge. Dinner is in the oven. After 2 weeks of no alcohol and eating well I've decided to have an indulgent night. Maybe not my best choice of day as I'm supposed to be taking my weekly progress pics later, measurements and weigh in tomorrow, I might put the pics off to tomorrow night! Good…

Well I survived the weekend without wine and went to the gym both days. Been eating pretty well (apart from still working my way through a rather large Easter egg!) and back to the gym tonight. Might have some wine this weekend, will see how I feel Friday night. The less I drink the easier I find it to resist, once I start…

OMG totally can't believe the word I used after 'trainer' was censored. What is MFP turning in to :'(

Kitty well done on the weight loss and welcome to the group. I'm having a bit of a focus on fat loss at the moment after a fairly lushy few weeks. Right now I want to reach my goal more than I want a nice cold glass of prosecco.....just! So I'm aiming to get through this weekend with no alcohol. Whilst I know I can drink…

I've planned this week so badly. Decided to stay on 5/2 diet for now as it's working out for me but have ended up with a 600 calorie day on Friday. No end of the week celebratory drink, it feels so wrong :'( I think Saturday will involve beer.

Mon 0 Tues 0 Wed 0 Thurs all you can eat Chinese meal and 4 beers Fri 1 beer, 1 whiskey and cola Sat 3 large glasses of wine but somehow managed to stop before I finished the bottle Sun finished the half a glass of wine left in the bottle And I've lost weight this week and am back to my goal weight. Trouble is I have less…

Mon 0 Tues 0 Wed 0 Thurs all you can eat Chinese meal and 4 beers I have a week off work so will undoubtedly drink more alcohol. I need some time to de-stress and a few drinks here and there won't hurt. Off to the gym soon, need to make some effort to offset the impressive amount of food I ate yesterday.
