Well, the stress of yesterday got to me and I broke down and had wine. It's amazing how much worse I slept and how much more tired I am today because of it. Although I did have a slip, I think reminding myself of how exhausted I was today and how much worse I felt than my new normal will help me stay strong for the rest of…

Hey! Hope you all got through the weekend okay! We're now more than halfway through Sober November! :)

Hey all! I hope your sober weekends go well! Feel free to post here if you find yourself needing some extra motivation. :)

@rdaheatherh213 Lol, you're right! You can see how long this week has been for me :)

Hey all! Hope day 3 is treating you well! It's a frustrating Wednesday at work so to motivate myself to stay on task, I did a bit of finance calculation at lunch. I'm terrible at math, so bear with me. Usually, a bottle of wine costs about 10-12 dollars. I buy one about twice a week. Every once in a while, I'll bring a…

@ejcanavan feel free to join even if you do slip up! It'll be challenging but I told myself I'm allowed to have a lapse or two as long as I make sure to post about it here (so one slip up doesn't lead to just giving up the whole month.)

Great! Let's work to support each other then :) I'm always amazed by just how many calories I take in while drinking- it adds up quick. I'm hoping that this will really kick start my weight loss!

Hey! I started a new thread, "Sober November", in case anyone wants to try this another month. :)

As a super commitment-phobe, I love this one day goal approach! Today I will: - Eat what I brought for lunch and not go out - Only have one after dinner snack - Not have my typical Friday night drinks

Hey all! What a great idea! Any plans to start one for November? I'd love to have some accountability in my efforts to stay away from drinking. I do it pretty often, it's become a regular stress reliever for me. I want to step back from it to help with my weight loss efforts. I know I'm taking in SO many extra calories by…

I can't believe I haven't seen this thread until now! If there's still room, please put me down for Hufflepuffs! I FIND this challenge to be very exciting!

Replying to say that I LOVE this thread and just met with a trainer yesterday to learn proper form while lifting. Having progress pictures of my own to add to this thread will keep me motivated :) Thanks for the inspiration!

Thanks, all! I did go back and did walking on an incline with arms strength, and almost immediately felt a lot better!

Thanks for the advice! I'll most likely do power walking for a bit and then focus on my arms and core for strength. Much appreciated!

I'd love to join! I haven't weighed myself in a week or so but will do so tonight! I think I'm about 156 -Lucia
