I’m just trying to kill my fat @$$!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Welcome back into the game @Walela617, @xbowhunter and @chicbuc! A-0 AF-22

@WestCoastGirl_7 and @itladyee he says this morning he feels fine but stupid. I told him it wasn’t stupid at all. I’m going to remind him today to contact his primary and get the referral (he has military retiree insurance, so we have to get the referral before he can go). But it looks like all is well for now. I’m leaning…

Spent the day at the ER with the husband. He was having what appeared to be stroke like symptoms during Church. So, fortunately, we had friends who took care of my kids while I drove like a bat out of hell to the hospital (20 min drive in 12) They couldn’t rule out a stroke, but CAT scan and blood work didn’t indicate a…

@Michieb125 I baked. 😉

@c_rimmele welcome! I know your frustration about no one noticing the weight loss. I find most people don’t notice especially when they see you every day unless you lose 50+ lbs. I’m sure you notice it, and I bet it feels great! Keep up the efforts! @WestCoastGirl_7 I do feel better after 49 days AF. That doesn’t mean the…

@WestCoastGirl_7 The vet visit was Brooks’ annual physical, shots, flea and tick and heartworm prevention refills. I buy his meds a year at a time for the 25% discount the vet gives us. Unfortunately, he also went up in dosage because he’s gained 20 lbs. He’s just a big ol’ lazy hound dog. I need to take him on walks with…

@itladyee she will warm up in no time! So sweet! I miss the puppy stage. Our dog, Brooks, will be the last dog for our family. Especially after today’s vet bill!😢 @nbruns83 I’m not a cat person. (Trauma response from abusive 1st husband… 16 cats, 1 bedroom apt, no pets allowed.) However, I’m glad momma cat chose someone…

Did an unofficial mid-week weigh-in, and I was 189. I won’t log it because I only log on Monday morning. But, I’m down 10.6 lbs. I’m very excited about this, and I’m just going to keep doing what I’m doing. I’m hoping for a little bit of a shopping trip Thanksgiving weekend for work clothes that fit for my trip back to…

@itladyee that completely sucks, I’m sorry. But, I do like your new hourly rate and minimums.😉 @chicbuc that’s a pretty picture! @xbowhunter good job on knocking out day one! Praying today goes well too. @Michieb125 like I said, it sounds healthy, but I can see how it’s really not all that good. A-0 AF-17

Thanks everyone for the praise. Fair warning… There is an element of addiction in what I’m currently doing. Instead of drinking wine, I’m calculating to the ounce/gram every morsel of food. I’m staring at MFP food diary trying to persuade myself not to ingest one more calorie. I’m refreshing my FitBit app to get every…

So glad you checked in, @chicbuc. Rest that knee, and definitely get to a doctor if it doesn’t feel better in a couple days. Down 1.2 lbs this week, total of 8.4, and only 43.6 to go until I can slip on that dress! Still hangs on my closet door as a constant reminder. Started walking again last week. I was only doing 1 lap…

A-0 AF-14 Still going. Tomorrow is weigh-in. Feeling semi-optimistic. We’ll see what tomorrow brings!

Bestie let me know she has no intention to drink this weekend, so I am staying AF! Looks like sober September for me. It’ll be the first sober month I’ve had in a very long time.

A-0 AF-11

A-0 AF-10 My weight loss journey is a little wonky this week. I did not meet the 1200 minimum calorie goal on Monday or today, but I’m full and definitely don’t feel like eating anymore. Yesterday, I was over 1200 but not by much, and I felt nauseous after eating some grapes with lunch because I was so full. Maybe my body…

I do wish I could share the mojo. I’m really not sure how I’m doing it. God must be helping me. We’ll see how things change/don’t change this weekend as I celebrate my bestie’s birthday with her.

I guess the magician has come back but he’s making bottles of sangria appear which I don’t drink. So🤷🏻‍♀️ A-0 AF-9

@globalhiker, yes, I started a low dose Estrodial patch. I’m going to give it another month, but I may need to go up in the dose. I do feel a little better, but I don’t want to do too much too fast. Sat on the porch enjoying the cooler evening air with the husband. He had a very large sangria, but I just had my water. A-0…

A-0 AF-6 Today makes 35 days AF. I wouldn’t have thought I would do that just a couple months ago. I was really struggling. Still not sure if I will break the streak next weekend. That will be up to my bestie, and I’m not worried about it at all. In December, I will have a big challenge. All my coworkers are heavy…

@WestCoastGirl_7 I’m sorry to hear about Tinker. I wouldn’t be surprised is she sent you those little babies because she didn’t want all that love to go to waste. @itladyee sorry about your sister, but what a cute puppy! If we tag @chicbuc three times will she appear? 😉 So, I’m over a month without alcohol. I’m on week 4…

I agree, I want to weigh every day too. But, I ONLY weigh at the same time every morning after I pee and completely naked. I don’t even have a cup of coffee first. No matter what the scale says the only weight I put stock into is the one I do on Monday mornings. The weights in between I just use as motivation. If I’m up, I…

A-0 AF-4 Went for a walk on Tuesday and today, only doing 1 lap each time which is a little over a mile. I also pick up the litter. I have to build up to additional laps simply to avoid shin splints. I always get them when I don’t ease into it after an extended break. Next week, I’ll do more. It was funny, I told a…

@itladyee glad your chosen method worked. I decided to stay up until 9:30 last night sitting in the dark doom scrolling again. At 9:30, I crawled into bed and was not tired at all. I started with the breathing, and it didn’t do much except make me yawn. So, I tried the alphabet thing, got through it backwards once, got…

@itladyee I’m going to try 1 & 3. They sound like things I could accomplish without getting annoyed with myself. A-0 AF-2

When I drink, I fall asleep instantly ….like within 10 minutes of head hitting the pillow…assuming I didn't already fall asleep on the couch, but I still crash hard either way. I usually wake up about 2am ( for a bathroom break), but then I'm wide awake for 30 to 90 minutes. When I don't drink, it's the opposite: it takes…

Went ahead and marked today AF. Like I said in last month’s thread, I will do most of September sober except a potential weekend of moderation if my bestie wants to drink on her birthday weekend. If not, then it’ll be a sober September. I might even choose hard liquor if we do drink because I tend to not drink as much of…
