Happy Tuesday :-) Yes, so I live for my Saturday nights (my happy hour, lol)...lol...but back on track...had a good day Monday and I just say no to drinking Mon - Friday...some days are harder than others for sure :-) Portion patrol is tough for me as well.. My plan consists of no eating after dinner, no alcohol and…

Sesame chicken...but I ate too much and felt stuffed...not use to that feeling anymore and wish I ate only half...still learning that lesson, lol :-)

Happy Monday All: yes, there is no wine in the house and there wont be until Saturday....one way I am not tempted!!! I have to keep the momentum going......on Saturday I was 2 lbs away from the lowest I have been since January...fell off the wagon and emotionally ate for a while...cant let that happen...thank you MFP…

Feeling sluggish...didnt get to work out yesterday so I know thats why....back on track and its a new week...the harder I push myself at working out the better I feel.....so I hit the gym after work today so I have all day to motivate myself lol :-) Have a great week all :-)

yes, bye bye wine till Saturday :-)...Friday night is my toughest lol :-) Have a great week!!

I made it through the 4th staying on plan, it paid off on the scales, which I am excited about...but today is Saturday and this evening is my cheat meal so to speak, lol. Have a great day all:-)

We need to have days like this...this way we dont mind sacrificing during the week...its what gets me through the week, lol...have a wonderful day!

Sounds like you have it under control! Its a good idea not to have it in the house till you are ready to have it...I know that works for me, lol. I drink on Saturday and a lil on Sunday - but Saturday is my cheat evening...my hubby and I will have drinks and snacks together but right back on the wagon so to speak on Sunday…

yes I agree...this is a great discussion board, so glad I found it!!! I usually will pick up wine on Saturday, if I do it before I may weaken and my scale will be up on Saturday morning...so its best not too close to me, lol. I am not planning on drinking tonight....we have the fireworks at 9 and I will be bringing my…

no apologies needed.....sometimes its what you may need at the time and you are doing well...I feel we are all human and we will not be perfect all the time..I know I would do the same thing if I lost my pup; mine is sick now and I never know what to expect when I get home, so I really understand..I hope all is well with…

Hi All: I made it through Thursday no alcohol and it is hard this week being a holiday weekend and all. As soon as I am out of work on Friday night I crave a drink, but I started this not drinking during the week in June and I have stuck with it...it just gets hard..but I am pushing through. Good luck everyone!!

Hi I am new and I think I have been back on MFP for about 10 days. I started getting serious with my weight loss the beginning of June, since then I lost 6lbs and 2 inches...what did I change...you got it, I only drink on Saturday nights...sometimes they start earlier than others, lol...and a lil bit on Sunday. During the…

Good for you....we all need to find what works for us as we are all different. I love a good steak from time to time, but I eat more vegetarian at times - but not a total vegan :-)

Hi all: Its been two weeks since I got back to the basics so to speak; I have gotten to the gym 5 days a week and I have been eating healthy. Hubby did research on glutin and we have been improving on that as well.. I usually get bored at 4 weeks and yoyo diet...I am determined not to do that this time :-) I also attend WW…

Great job, its so hard to be good when eating out!!!

I do a 45 min workout 5 days a week; a 10 minute warm up of cardio, then do weights, and then I do another 15 minutes of cardio. I alternate upper and lower body and I shake this up every four weeks. Hope that helps. Phyllis in NC
