Okay so I have missed 2 weekly checkins. I was up a couple pounds the first missed one and another few pounds on last weeks missed check in. Now that Easter is over, I need to get a grip. I’m up 8 lbs in these two and a half weeks and I’ve also started drinking again. Now my family is going to Arizona for a week in the…

I too have this issue. My weight is well distributed and people always think I’m 30lbs lighter than I am. They also think I’m 2 sizes smaller than I am. My dad asked me how much further I was gonna go. I told him about 20ish lbs. He was questioning if I really needed to do that. I was like yup! That barley puts me in the…

Forgot my ticker. Also @CupcakeCrusoe you mentioned that 7 lbs was a lot this month. I was kinda feeling that way too but I just put a weight that sounded good lol! IDK. Usually I set the bar low so I exceed my expectations. Hazards of being an Enneagram 3. 😂 I just thought since I have 5 weigh-ins in April, that’s like a…

@sandielewis2001 im super competitive and I’m trying to keep up with your WL since we have similar stats. Nice work and thanks for the accountability you don’t even know you provide!!! 🙌🏼

@roz0810 I like that you are weighing in every day. I actually do this I just don’t record it. If I find after this week that I haven’t lost any more weight, I might switch to daily recording as accountability. Nice work!

I saw @CupcakeCrusoe posted a ticker! I use to do that on mfp like a decade ago! Thanks for the re-inspiration! Here is mine! Now that I have more time to write; I’ve been struggling with the wintertime blues pretty heavily for the last couple weeks. I just ordered Thorne vitamin-d to hopefully help with that. I’m also…

@ahoy_m8 I make mocktail old fashions with Monday whisky. It doesn’t taste exactly like whisky but the mixed drink is great! Totally worth the $50 a bottle plus it’s easy to have one instead of 3 at this point in my journey.

I wear more jeans and less yoga pants now. I also don’t have to choose looser shirts to cover a belly pooch hanging over my belt. My underwear are all too big. I bought a long sleeve size medium bikini thinking it would be my “goal weight” bikini for summer, it already fits and I’m 4 months away from summer.

I 100% understand this line of thinking. A few years ago my ex and I would run 5-15 miles almost every day. We would reward ourselves with alcohol. This year when I went AF, I was bummed because I “use to” be able to be active and drink all the time. Why cant I do it now and reward myself in that way? I’m 36, alcohol is…

@MissMay I agree with the other posters that I would ignore that alcohol you were served unless you had another after. The point of drinking less or not at all is not about alcohol consumption but rather about kicking addiction and/or making healthier choices that have a lasting impact on our mental, physical, relational,…

@justanotherloser007 ”I tried to come up with ways to "reward" or "deal with stress". All too expensive for someone like me! I finally stuck with "spend time talking or just being with God". That helped me turn away from physical items that were inappropriate substitutes for what I really wanted and needed.” Beautifully…

@sandielewis2001 congrats on the new house and I think we all lurk to some degree! :smiley: @jazzadesigns It was probably me clicking the disagree button. On my app, those responses are very close together and I have accidentally tapped disagree instead of hug. Usually I catch it but probably not always.

I like reading everyone’s posts this week! Well, I made it through day one of my birthday celebrations. AF!!!! From daily drinker to 30 days straight without alcohol, I’m pretty stoked so far. It’s interesting, I use to think about alcohol all the time, even planning my days around it especially on the weekends. I would…

Hey My birthdays the 4th and I’ll be 36! We have similar stats too! What’s your ultimate maintenance weight?

It always makes me sad when I have to “reduce” my caloric intake as the scale reduces too. I usually just start exercising more so I can eat more! Maybe try getting up earlier and going to bed earlier? I currently wake up between 4-5am and go to bed between 8:30-9:30pm and this greatly helps me with the night time binging.…

I’m in again for February! My goal is again to “Drink less”. My birthday is this weekend but I don’t think I am gonna drink anything but an Athletic AF IPA. I would really like to stay on track to only drink when an occasion actually calls for it. Like once a month. Being AF in January lead To a whole slew of healthy…

Well, it was super helpful posting and reading here for the month of January. I’ll be swinging over to the February thread. I don’t know what my goals will be but I set out on the 6th of January to “Drink less” and ended up not drinking at all. Thanks for the support everyone! I’m excited to continue this AF/less journey.

Try to switch to measuring your body with a tape instead of a scale when you hit plateaus. This generally works for me when I am working out. I can still be getting smaller and toner but the scale doesn’t move for a bit or sometimes I even gain a few. Yes your muscles need water for repair. You also need protein for proper…

Wonderful! I always like seeing people with similar stats! Go team!

This happens to me sometimes too. I’ve taken my lunch bag to work without my lunch ! Lol! so I keep RX Bars, tuna packs, and squeeze applesauce in my desk and my car. It’s also convenient for those days when I’m still hungry after I eat. I’ll say “well tuna, bar, or apple sauce”, if non of it sounds good then I know I’m…
