Well-there's a few of us! Haha! Here's to kicking some butt in 2017!!!!

I am just starting low-carb (again!) I lost a ton of weight doing low carb several years ago.... I had more energy and felt better than I had ever felt before, or since.... Makes me wonder why I ever quit... I think I just got lazy and would cheat a little here and there, and then just forgot about it all together. I just…

Thank you for the links to the low carb & atkins groups! I joined both & am looking forward to digging around and reading more!

When I was doing low carb before (several years ago) I felt more energetic and all around healthier & better than I ever had before or since..... Why I quit, I don't know.....? I think I just slowly 'forgot'... I quit keeping track.... I didn't miss any of my 'high carb' foods though. I would allow myself to go over carbs…

So-I didn't realize how much I look forward to my wine in the evening. Last night my daughter and I went to the gym & had an awesome workout & then we went and wandered around the beach looking for cool pictures to take. (she's in a summer photography class) As long as I was busy-wine didn't even cross my mind, but as soon…

So-last night wasn't a good night :( I ended up buckling and having a glass of wine after work. I'm ticked at myself because it put me over my daily calorie goal, but today I'm going to work harder! & back to the challenge! :)

Hahahahaha! ????

I gave up Soul Sister Pinot Noir, and Apothic Red, and my all time favorite-Carlos Creek Apple Blueberry! (crap-now I've set off a craving! Lol)

Heck no! Love my wine, and my beer! And my bloody marys! And my captain! & my margaritas! Um....... maybe I need to rethink that AA? JK :)

I'm just thinking of it as a challenge to myself-I certainly don't think it will hurt me :) And, since my one glass generally leads to more-this challenge will likely do me some good

So I am totally LMAO! I think we could all be really good friends! These are all things I say & think! Haha! It was rather impulsive, but now I feel the need to prove it to myself. Please add me if you haven't already! @primdaisy-i started on the 8th of July-so my personal goal is to make it to the 8th of August (which is…

Haha! This is great!!! This is going to make it a lot more..... well maybe "fun" isn't the word, but..... I don't know? Interesting? I feel like this is a team effort! Yeah!

Anybody up for another 'no wine' or 'no alcohol' challenge? The more I'm reading-if I'm going to be serious about this whole weight loss/diet/fitness.... I think it would probably do me some good. This will be my 4th day-id like to make it til the end of the month...

Just found your post- how is it going for you? I am 39-my husband & I own a liquor store..... today is my 3rd day of no alcohol. Ugh! All for the sake of dieting. I've been in the liquor business pretty much my whole life, so this is pretty new to me to not drink. Eeeek! feel free to add me-we can gripe about not drinking!…

I'm 5'2" and need to lose about 40lbs. Feel free to add me :)

Hi all! Looking for friends to help me reach my goal of 40 lbs by 40 years! (10 months) Lets do this trip together!!! Add me :)

Awesome! Thank you everyone! I'm actually looking forward to this!

Great! I will look you up on Facebook!

Sounds like you have some recovery ahead of you-but kudos on keeping active even while your laid up! Would be easy to make excuses for not working out! Lol!

That's an interesting read! Thank you!

Feel free to add me :)

Feel free to add me-we need all the support in this journey that we can get :)

I'm with you! Feel free to add me, we can encourage each other-this is my 2nd, or 3rd, or... um-well, lets say that this is the time its going to stick for me!

Hi MFP friends! I'm a newbie (again! Lol!) I've been on & off this site for...... years! This time I'm making it work & could use a strong support group :) Add me please

Hi! I've been on & off of this site for quite a while & I, too, am starting over! I'm determined that this time I'm going to stick with it! I could use a good support system on here! :)

Definately a place for your phone!!! Large enough that you don't have to take the case off & perhaps a velcro tag (or something similar) so your arms don't get all tangled up in the cord! 8-) As far as colors.... anything goes-but please make sure the fabric doesn't show when it's wet! I hate the look of boob sweat & potty…

That is awesome! You should be so proud of your hard work! PS-You look younger in after photo too! 8-)

Just to let you know.... wedding was saturday and the couple loved the *kitten* boards! Yeah! My husband also welded them some 'beer holders' and a 'score-keeper' out of fence posts! He was being so creative! It was awesome!

I am in a similar situation.... my husband and I are making '*kitten* boards' for the wedding couple! (He is making-I am painting) *kitten* is a popular yard game in my area & the couple always asks us to bring our game over when we do bbq's & such. I LOVE the idea of painted wine glasses-awesome! I will use that myself at…

My husband is working out with me! I love it! My last dr visit was a little scary & I was told if I didn't get my cholesterol & bad cholesterol #'s down I would be going on meds. At 37, that wasn't something I even wanted to consider. My half-@ssed attempts at losing weight & eatting healthy before are now being taken a…
