So sorry you're dealing with all this, Jen! Hope things get better soon!

@Beka3695 Just pick right back up where you left off! Don't let a slip turn into a fall!

Today will be day 31. Yesterday I did a difficult 7 mile hike with 25 lbs of child on my back. Normally I would celebrate this with indulgent food and cocktails; however, I stuck with just the burger last night and water. Of course I had a paradoxical increase on the scale this morning, but it doesn't bother me the way it…

@lorrainequiche59 Definitely been there! It's a very relatable situation

Welcome everybody new! Day 29 today.. Just checking in. Hope everyone has a great AF weekend!
-
Just checking in for accountability's sake. It's day 23. There's still a struggle in my head as to whether or not I want this to be a forever thing, but I'm maintaining AF status despite that battle. Hope everyone's having a nice weekend! I'm now trying to muster up the energy to bake a trial cake for little man's first…

Also, other than my pregnancy when I obviously could not drink, this 21 days is the longest I think I've gone since age 21.. which was well over a decade ago.. so I'm feeling pleased. Hope everyone has a great day!

Welcome @dbhDeb ! My husband was a daily drinker. He's trying to get healthier too/support me, but no interest in actually quitting.. He tries to just drink on the weekend, but it creeps back in on some week days. But Jen is right. Nothing you can do about someone else's behavior just your own. Hang in there! Once you get…

Awesome!

@VeggieGirlforLife Don't be so hard on yourself.. You'll always find someone who has it worse off than you, but it doesn't make your struggles any less significant.

@donimfp Welcome back! You may have missed the discussion where many of us came to the conclusion that the 'woo' may just be a cheerful Woo who!! At least that was my interpretation of that emoji/rxn

@Ed_Zilla Congratulations on 9 weeks and staying strong through your vaca! Also, congrats on the weightloss! @RubyRed427 I'm on the 17 day diet. 4 cycles of 17 days, the first of which is the most restrictive, then you move through the 4 and repeat until goal weight. The name makes it sound gimmicky, but it's a very…

@lloydrt That was just what I needed to hear this week, so thank you!
-
@salleewins I can't imagine the grief you're experiencing! I am sorry for your losses! Sending you a big hug and a pat on the back for walking right into those feelings instead of medicating them.

My weekly Friday night check in.. Feeling fine for the rest of the evening.. definitely wanting some indulgent food though.. My diet is quite strict.. But this is typical for me: either balls to the wall or nothing at all. It's even more frustrating when I've been holding steady at 8 pounds lost for the last 5 days.. Need…

@MountainLaurel787 Congratulations on your 10 weeks!

@Beka3695 welcome to the group! Good evening friends.. Just writing to stay accountable. Tonight's a mildly tough night as I find that it was always easy to have wine when my husband works overnight. I'm reading about benefits of quitting while little man is sleeping. And trying to keep Craig Beck in mind, more…

I can't seem to find the post to reply to, but someone offered up Facebook messenger for support. To whoever that was, it was an extremely generous offer and truly appreciated.. For me personally though, the anonymity is what allows me to be open and to share things. And I need this to be truly anonymous for a few reasons,…

Everyone else is probably in bed and I'm definitely getting ready. Another AF Saturday night in the books. Even when I order water at a restaurant, I typically look at the cocktail menu to 'see what I'm missing'. I chose not to tonight bc why bother.. Even if I'm unsure about the whole forever part, that probably wouldn't…

As promised, my Friday evening check in. I'm floored by the change a 'trigger' can make in my thought process.. All day I was just feeling pleased with being back to day 8, sticking with my rigid diet (lost 7 pounds since last Friday). Then the hubs opens a Friday night beer and I start thinking of wine to relax.. Grab a…

@Drummer913 that's so inspiring! Congrats on 4 months and managing to stay AF this month!

@kevinrfletcher I can't imagine how hard it is to watch a loved one's cognitive decline.. Hugs to you. And congrats on staying AF

@errydayimmusclin try not to focus on the one day. My new mantra (new for drinking anyway) is 'If it ain't broke, don't fix it.' I plan to try to use this to my advantage when I have cravings. The spring/summer will be hard for me too. We camp up in wine country and that's what people do. However, if I continue to make…

@salleewins I'm so sorry to hear of your brother and the stress it's putting your family through.. hugs to you!

@errydayimmusclin , @Fitness327wk , and @lagoscarrie thank you all for your support and posts!

This app takes the wind out of my sails.. Just wrote a long heartfelt post and lost it when my phone reoriented to landscape.. Makes me not want to try to post this again because it pi**ed me off so much, but I felt it was too important not to. I've decided to try to post here on Friday and Saturday nights. I've noticed,…

@JenT304 She was so lucky to have found you! I'm so sorry for your loss!

Count me in for the 3 month challenge!

@JenT304 Very sorry for your loss!

Congratulations! Such an accomplishment!
