I'm in!!! I love me some Coke, not diet Coke but regular Coke!:embarassed: I drankmy last one this morning, since it was the last 20oz bottle I had at the house. I can do this, I can do this, I can do this....

Well I did stick to my goal in July of drinking twice a week. Now that we are in a new month, for August I don't want to drink at all. Let's see how I do with that.

I know I said I wasn't going to drink at all before, but I did give in this week. However, I am restarting my goal of not drinking at all. LOL

This week's goal is to get on my treadmill 4 times this week and continue on with my C25K program, stay within calories, & continue on this journey. I can do this!

I drank this weekend but I did do exercise to counteract it. ;-) Tonight I am back on my treadmill again....I can do this!

Didn't drink last night. I did my week 1 of couch to 5k this morning. I still have a brand spanking new bottle of vodka sitting in the freezer, it has been there all week. Oh the temptation!!!

Haven't had a drink since Monday (Yay!). Today's goal is to motivate myself and be the person I can to myself by eating right & exercising so that I can get to a healthier BMI/weight.

No alcohol yesterday (yay!) and I also got on the treadmill yesterday too (yay!). Tonight's mini goal is the same as yesterday - no alcohol and treadmill for 45 minutes....

Well, I am going to try not drinking at all until the weekend. I did some partying this weekend and the one before (marriage anniversary). So no alcohol until Saturday, hubby and I are meeting up with another couple to celebrate a birthday. Today's mini-goal is to not drink at all and hop on the treadmill for 45 minutes.

Yes, please give me tough love!!!!! :flowerforyou:

Well, I have decided that after this weekend I am not going to drink anymore. When I drink, I drink to get drunk. At one point I had gone over 2 months without drinking and I actually felt better and had more energy. Although I have cut my drinking back to 2 or 3 times a week, I need to cut it out completely. When I drink,…

I've decided to drink alcohol once a week. So if I do it, I gotta make it count!:drinker: I figure if I stick to my calories and exercise, I can treat myself. I will say that I haven't had a drink in 3 days....yay for me!

Tameka, I LOVE Ciroc!! It is definitely smooth!!! Hubby and I indulge quite often!:bigsmile:

LMAO!!! I used to think so clearly when I was smoking!! My husband doesn't smoke which is why I took on drinking, which he does do. When I was smoking I was with someone who smoked. But yes, drinking is the devil!!! LOL Monica

Mojo, I think you are on to something here! I used to smoke pot everyday and never gained. I was a size 8/9 and smoked pot everyday....I went from smoking to drinking and packed on 45 pounds in 2 years!!! OMG!!!:frown:

Wow, this thread really got me to thinking. In all reality I have packed on the pounds something serious with drinking alcohol. When my husband and I got married we just played a lot and were drinking daily, couple it with the munchies....I got bigger quick (gained 35lbs!!)!!! All this time I was in denial about how I…

I'm in!!!! Like Haley I am very busy and need to set time aside for exercising. Even if it is 30 minutes on the treadmill. I'm up for it!! Monica

I really needed this today. I have been on the verge of giving up. But I choose not to.

Ok, thanks! It's going to be a bit difficult for me since I don't measure when I cook. But I will try to get it as close as possible. That recipe calculator tool seems very nice!! Thanks all!!! :-)

Thanks everyone for responding and providing support. I never heard of the Couch to 5k program. I am definitely going to check that out and start that tonight. Once again thank you everyone for being such great people.... Monica

Today's High: I am still within my calories. Low: I haven't been exercising :-(

I LOVE cassava!! Where did you find it pre-mashed? I always cook it fresh. I peel it & boil it. When it is soft I then drain it, coat it with olive oil (not a lot depending on how much you cook), a splash of vinegar, a small sliced onion, salt/pepper to taste, 2 cloves of fresh garlic (chopped or mashed).

I have a dress in my closet that I have never worn and aspire to wear this summer for my one year wedding anniversary. It is a size 8.....I am currently a size 14. It's not a silly motivation at all....I'm right there with you! :bigsmile:

Just like the others said....hang in there. Finish what you brought in for lunch and feel satisfied that you are getting closer to your goal! :flowerforyou:

Thanks for the welcome!!! :flowerforyou: Monica

I'd like to join in if there is room for me!! :happy: About Me: I am 32 year old newly-wed. I just got married to my wonderful husband in June of 2009. Since he and I first got together I have gained 25lbs, not to mention the 20lbs I wanted to lose before we got together. So now I am trying to lose a total of 45lbs. I…

Thanks everyone for the words of encouragement. Today is a new day & I know I can do better.:flowerforyou:

Didn't go to the gym last night but I did stay within my calories. Did 20 minutes of my kickboxing DVD this morning. Going to the gym tonight!

Bumping this up.......I hope to hear from you guys tomorrow!!!!:flowerforyou:

Yay!!!! We can do this!! Let's keep this up, I need serious accountability help & lots of support!
