well just so long as he doesn't go on any cruises or hang out with the roid boys he may survive. Sent from my iPhone... From a bar

I say Friday IS the weekend and you should enjoy your time with your friend anyway! Life is too short to sweat the details.

Not sure, but can I come over for dinner? That sounds awesome! And yes, I'm really not sure, but I have heard people on here suggest that's one way to do it. The same would be true of cooking something in oil, for example.

Welcome to the newbies! I really need to start keeping track of who is trying to do what in terms of goals. I guess it's the honor system for the time being. I do in fact have the every other weekend visitation deal, so lookout ladies! LMAO I hate to say it but between the mild hangover and the heat here I may be passing…

Da crappy Bears? Doesn't quite roll off the tongue :bigsmile: See, common ground. Favre is a self-centered tool. And Aaron Rogers has done great for my fantasy team the last two years. Yes, your weekend plans pretty much require alcohol!

Wow, I leave for a day and look what happens, we start talking about bong hits and a border war flares up between the Bears and FudgePackers. :laugh: Tabbydog, PLEASE don't say that. As a 40 year old divorced guy with kids, I need you women to be open minded! Besides, he's 16, of course he's going to be surfing for porn…

Circoc is vodka. Not to be confused with Kiroc aka Unfrozen Caveman Lawyer (Phil Hartman's character on some old Saturday Night Live episodes)

What IS it about those red cups anyway! Congrats on another successful night.

If they're from Chicago they must be good people! LOL And yeah, heavy drinkers as well. :ohwell: Thanks for the motivation but this is baby steps. I miss sitting on the patio with my cronies. Familiar with the old TV show Cheers? Just call me Norm Peterson.

Absolutely. I am not familiar with the Curves smart tag, but I recently bought my own HRM and that wasn't before lots of research on here and elsewhere, and the consensus seemed to be that if it doesn't have a chest strap it isn't as reliable. So sorry for the frustration you are experiencing. I'd say one way or the other…

YES on check in! I was typing while you were lol. Well, er, everything happens for a reason? LOL At least you get points for style :wink:

Good morning everyone! Well, it may be one of the seven signs of the apocalypse (admittedly it wasn't in the Demi Moore movie), but I did not go our last night and I did not imbibe at home. That's day three. When I started the week I would have been entirely satisfies to get through day two. In fact, yesterday morning I…

Happy 40th! I promise you life does not end at 40. It may however end at 41. I'll let you know LOL :drinker:

You're an inspiration! Or a poster child LOL :drinker:

Fruit salad.... yummy yummy (Having a Wiggles flashback)

Hello fellow Hoosiers!

I've been trying to think about how to best use this message board. Daily report in on the previous night's alcohol consumption?

I would think a broth based soup would be fine. Only 450 cals? Really? Ugh.

What they said.

Note to self: use the word "tragic" more often, steal tractor.

Wow, I never expected such a great response! Thanks to everyone for sharing their story (wait, that almost sounds like we are in group therapy lol). Major props to those of you who have given it up entirely. I think I would like to get down to just a couple days a week, but I fear what one of you said above (sorry, so many…

SORRY mojogurl I completely meant to give you props for this in the original post!

I honestly could not have said it better about how I personally feel sometimes. I have been drinking daily. I have had myself convinced I could still lose weight this way because frankly I have done it before. After getting really frustrated, I took the last two days off and ate right (well, not according to some on here…

IT'S DONE! Come find it! Sorry to steal your personal thunder Tameka lol

LIke Minded Lushes! What a perfect name! What do we do, just start a recurring thread with that title?

Oh no, I didn't mean we didn't have the drinking under control, but a support group to encourage those trying to abstain or cut down for dietary reasons! Let's face it, everyone posting on this board right now is basically saying I'm trying to cut back but not quitting! I said what I did in my first post in this thread…

I never thought I would say this, but I really think we need a drinkers support group on here. :drinker:

LMAO. I just posted in your other topic as well. Funny thing... after a couple days of no alcohol, I worked out this morning for the first time in years. I have never been into a.m. workouts much, mainly because my body can't seem to cool down quickly enough afterward and I sweat in my work clothes. But I guess my recent…

Two weeks! I have gone two day now since I know alcohol is impeding everything I want to accomplish. It's not like it was hard not to drink, it's the social setting (e.g. the upcoming weekend) that I am worried about. I mean the scale was once again my friend this morning, and I am so encouraged, but I am afraid it's all…

More confused now than ever.
