Ditto here with the relationships. I need sober October in my life. I think I replaced unhealthy relationships with men with unhealthy relationships with whiskey :( I also need to quit to lose weight. So count me in!

This thread is great. I am definitely down for November. I am trying to taper off and then abstain. I tried cutting back, but that is not going to work. So tired of trying and succeeding during the day only to destroy progress with alcohol and overeating (because of alcohol) every night. Great thread.

Right here- alcohol is turning out to be much harder to give up than I expected. It needs to go though. It's not really the alcohol, it's the copious amounts of food I shovel into my mouth afterwards. Which is how I gained a lot of weight. Sigh.. Still trying to give it up. Glad to see that I'm not alone in that. :)

Charlotte native but in WV now :(

Anyone can add me. I have been doing LCHF for a while and I am still tweaking my macros. But I love this WOE and plan to do it henceforth. Pinterest is a fantastic source of information and recipes too.

I take 2 different kinds of anti-depressants. They are much needed :) The only issue I have is LCHF sometimes requires supplements like magnesium and potassium. I know both of mine are low. Finding supplements that have no negative interaction with the meds is my problem. I found a potassium supplement - but jeez there are…

I have a membership to PF and to another gym. PF is good if you're starting out. They offer no group fitness and mine has a flippin' free pizza day. However, there are ample cardio machines, sometimes the machines get crowded and you have to wait. For $10 it is not a bad deal. I prefer my other gym now for group fitness…

Not a fan. My location has more youth wanting to socialize than serious exercisers- because of that I totally feel like it is not a true judgement free zone. Furthermore, several people in my area have a membership strictly for the tanning beds. Also - the free pizza and bagels is B.S. If they wanted to do this for members…

5 foot and in that weight range- started off higher.. sigh.. add me!

Same here only you're 2 inches taller :)

I find most of my recipes now on Pinterest. Some have been good- some have been awful. Last night I tried oven roasted radishes- they are amazing. Taste very much like oven roasted potatoes; the radish taste goes away. I do all my food prep and cooking on Sundays so that I am not without something to eat on the fly. It's…

Second go around here. Lost 40 lbs 3 years ago and then gained it back + 20 - so that's a thing. Need to lose that and then some. Hopefully this time will be the time- I think I am ready to settle down and commit to one healthy lifestyle. Looking for motivation as well.

UGG- I totally feel your pain and am going through the same thing. I had lost quite a bit of weight a few years ago after getting out of a bad relationship. After I lost the weight, I (stupidly) got right back into a relationship with the same person, got laid off (add in other unfortunate life events here), and began…

I have an egg allergy so I have to omit eggs from breakfast. I take ground pork (it's super cheap) and make faux sausage patties with it. It has to be healthier than regular sausage. I generally eat it on a whole grain english muffin but the muffin could be omitted to save carbs.

Hm- mine is way lower- 35 lbs in 212 days or .165 lbs a day :indifferent:

I can totally identify with this. Way to go, and that feeling you get from that is very empowering. You'll see that it won't be long before fast food is not even an option for you, because once you eat it after a healthy hiatus, it makes you feel like crap. (don't get me wrong KFC is sounding mighty tasty at the moment)…

Right here with you. It's been 3 months - and I found out that he had a very serious issue with my weight and said all kinds of horrible hurtful things about it behind my back. Not to mention calling me a fat c*&t to my face and he was very abusive. I use the anger I still have to get through work out slumps. Lost all the…

Nine Inch Nails- always. Anxiously awaiting tour dates :)

awesome!

That is amazing. You should be very proud of what you have accomplished. Keep it up!

This right here

Welcome- am from Charlotte and back in the Queen City. Concord is close.

I serve it with diced onions tomatoes and feta cheese- very yummy

way to go. I am doing mine in sets of 10 as well. You can totally tell a different in your waist

That is awesome- especially with giving up alcohol and tobacco at the same time. I am very impressed!
