Ditto with the drink while I cook dinner. That's what motivates me to cook. Probably a good idea to just take alcohol out of the house. I used to always drink wine but then I discovered a grapefruit vodka with grapefruit LaCroix and lime that I prefer in the summer. One drink would be okay but then I always have LaCroix…

Hi all. I'm pretty sure my weight gain this past year is due to alcohol. I was on medication for a year and a half and couldn't drink alcohol (actually hated the taste of wine!) and lost weight without even trying.

I'm in. Not only does alcohol contribute calories but it also causes me to eat more. I like less also instead of none that way if I slip up it won't be a fail.

I think I'll stop taking Gabapentin when possible and see if I can't lose some. I've gained 25 pounds in the last 8 months! That's pretty…

Mini goal: Getting below 160. Stick to the plan. One day at a time.

Congratulations! A wonderful way to start your new life!
