This thread is already getting big! I am in for a mostly dry February, I have a weekend out of town next weekend and then that will be it. Looking forward to doing this with you guys!

Hi everyone, I'm late getting started but I'd very much like to be a part of this challenge. I also struggle with my alcohol intake and have for years. It's a large part of my weight struggles, and I know my health is probably suffering as well. Please feel free to send me a friend request. I would love for us to encourage…

Can I still join?

Hi, I'm Betsy. I have been a member of MFP for about 4 years but wasn't really committed for the first 3. I am now and started with 80 lbs to lose (240). I am down 25 and would love to be down another 20 by Christmas (that would put me over my halfway mark!) My ultimate goal is to weigh 160. Please feel free to add me as a…

I'm in! Please feel free to add me as a friend as well. Ready to get started!

Feel free to add me as well! I have 55 lbs to lose, down 25 so far.

16. And I feel like it's taking forever!

Same boat here. Would love to lose 30, but I'd be happy with 20 by summer. Going to Brazil on vacation in June and I don't want to hate all my vacation photos.

Please feel free to add me. I haven't updated my weight lately (I've gained about 7 lbs this holiday season) but I have right at 70 lbs to lose.

Name: Betsy Height: 5'10 Starting Weight (12/1): 227.4 Goal Weight (12/31): 215 12/8: 12/15: 12/22: 12/29: 12/31: I have been just horrible the last few weeks and have put on about 10 lbs (I know some of it is just water) but I need to do this to get back on track (and stay there) for the month of December. Please feel…

I would also like to join. I am right at 220 now (haven't weighed in about a week) but I'd like to be at 210 or below by the end of the year. I'd love to be below 200 but I think that's a bit ambitious for me. Please feel free to add me as a friend!

5'10 and I wear a size 10. My feet are on the narrow side (even after gaining 50 lbs) so finding cute strappy shoes and sandals that don't blister my feet is not easy. I usually go up to a 10.5 for running/tennis shoes.

I definitely need to get a handle on my lushiness and I don't need to wait until the New Year to start. I couldn't even begin to imagine how much I drank this week. What exactly is this and how do I get signed up? http://www.skinnyo.com/challenges/organise/50b302f6785f7 All good! I figured it out :) Just signed up,…

Hi All - Hope everyone is having a great November so far. My Sober October idea lasted about a week and a half and then was one of my lushier months on record. This month is my birthday, best friend's birthday, and family time so I can already tell you this won't be any better. I may just have to try to rethink the idea in…

You can probably guess by my user name but I'm a proud mother of two dachshunds. Love them dearly, so entertaining :)

Congratulations, Kat! Sober October has hit a bump in the road...it may become "Mostly Sober October"... Rather stressful day, and frankly, I just really want some wine. Back on track tomorrow.

Week 1 of Sober October is almost done! I can't believe I've made it a whole week, could not begin to tell you the last time I made it a whole week. Hope everyone had a great weekend!

Adorable little kitty! Entering day 5 of Sober October and having the opposite sleep problem, I can't seem to get enough. I figured I would have a really hard time because I hit it HARD at the end of September (1 to 2 bottles of wine a night) but it hasn't been bad. I have had the sugar cravings as well, and been giving in…

Day 1 of Sober October here, too. I had a lushy weekend like no other so I'm probably thinking the first few days are going to suck... Oh well, this should definitely help me lose a few pounds and save some money here before the holidays!

I like the No-No November idea, but November is my birthday, my best friend's birthday, and Thanksgiving which involves family which requires alcohol. And lots of it... ;) Sober October starts Monday and believe me, I am lushing it up this weekend like no one's business. I have been hitting it hard lately, so I think this…

Kat, I totally understand, you have such an awesome month planned! How exciting! Oh, and I love October and Halloween too, I can not WAIT for all the good scary movies to start playing, I love the good old campy ones. I'll keep everyone posted on how Sober October goes...I do better with a plan. Guess I'll be tying one on…

I'm thinking of trying a "Sober October"...as there is too much family time to be had around November and December so NOT having alcohol simply isn't an option. Anyone up for the challenge with me??

Well, after my booze-fest this weekend, I have started off the week with a 0 on Monday! I think tonight will follow suit. Actually, doctor started me on some new meds last week, and after drinking so much this weekend, yesterday was awful. I don't mean hungover awful, I mean dizzy, lightheaded, and feeling like I had to…

Very lushy weekend. I couldn't even begin to count...Saturday was by far the worst! I'm determined to rack up some zeroes this week, starting tonight!

Monday-0 Tuesday- 3 glasses of red wine, 2 lite beers Wednesday-0 Thursday-0 Friday- Remains to be seen! Sadly, I only racked up those 3 zeroes because I had to go have blood labwork done today and I'm petrified he's going to come back and tell me I've totally screwed up my liver and kidneys (which is a possibility) or…

More wine than I can even begin to count all three nights (Friday, Saturday, Sunday) but I'm going to try for some zeroes this week! Wine is my downfall. I Just love it! That doghouse and run is amazing! And your Lushlings are so cute. My little lushlings are locked up in the guest bathroom today because my upstairs…

I'm not too far, I'm here in GA. :)

That's what I worry about too, the judgements. I know I shouldn't but it makes it hard to be honest. I'm afraid the doc will tell me I just need a good shrink or something! Ugh, I'm so sorry you had to deal with that, what a jerk that dr. was to you. I just started seeing a chiropractor as well. He was much easier to be…

I'm really impressed with these 0 days you guys are racking up. I haven't had a zero day in a couple of weeks. I have a doctor's appt this week that I'm really nervous about because of some weird health problems that have just started happening. One would think this would prompt me to be doing healthier things, but, um,…
