Wine is killing my diet...I have to slow down! Am I alone?
On some days I feel like I might as well drink my diet! 1-3 glasses add up, I am stuck at the same weight, even though I have been a "good girl". Time to face the music. My wine intake kills my diet. I read up on it and didn't like what I read. Bellyfat - slow Metabolism - not burning fat after alcohol. Just a few hints…

New Group Name "Lets cut down drinking"
I got so many PM's from people who would like to limit their alcohol consumption, but feel that "weekends only" would not work right from the start. Our newest member doco agreed with them. So I changed the name to "Lets cut down drinking". Some of us will try weekends only, some of us will limit their drinks to 1 or 2 and…

So...where is everybody????
I have been a good old girl, but not by choice. My beloved wine or any other alcoholic beverages have been a "No No' since 2 weeks, because of the medications I had to take. All this time I thought my habit of drinking a glass of wine might be more than just a habit and it scared me a little bit to think about it. Maybe…

Monday 7-28
Good morning everybody! I am on heavy antibiotics and can't drink right now, so I have time to crack the whip :-) I wish everybody a good week.

New week 7-13 until Friday 7-18
Alright....lets not talk about the weekend :-) Best friend in town, we haven't seen each other for a long time, lots of talking and lots of drinking. I can drink wine like a fish...it's official :-) I had a ball and still do, but the new week starts today. Bye, bye wine....see you Friday :-)

The unusual success story of an "old dog" and new tricks
This post might be boring for a lot of the younger people and that’s OK, I was one of you once and I understand. Every year I would fall into the cookie jar during the Holiday Season and I would always gain some weigh; but I was always able to lose it fairly easy. Of course it took some effort, but nothing dramatic. Just a…

Welcome new members...

Alternative for the drink?
My problem is to find something to drink that I like that's not water or wine. I don't drink soda's or icetea (can't do caffeine in the evening). Right now I drink Sparkling Ice (Grapefruit - Coconut/Pineapple - Black Berry) and love it. What do you guys drink?

Wednesday Check-in 7-9
Tuesday was alcohol free in our house :-)

7-6 The new week begins today!
OK guys...a new week starts today. It's going to be a good one!

Tuesday check in July 1st
I don't need wine every day, it's just something that I reached for after a long day. I didn't bother me at all yesterday. I think I will enjoy it more at the weekend when it's not a daily habit anymore. Like chocolate or ice cream. How is everybody else doing!

Monday 6/30 check in
This is going to be a sober week :-) Have a great week everybody!

4th of July weekend...
What a fantastic day...and not over yet! Good company, lots of laughter and good food, so I had a glass of wine already and I am certain I might have another one later on when we all will sit outside for the firework. I enjoyed the glass of wine very much, as expected. I drunk it with awareness and enjoyed the taste. It is…

Thursday check in
Hump Day was alcohol free as well :-) Yeahhhh go us :-)

Tuesday 6-24 check in
I have been a good girl but I had a glass of wine on my mind all evening long. Gosh, it really became a habit to have a drink after work or after a hard day and I had a ****ty Monday :-).
-
6-22 New week starts today
Ladies and Gentlemen! The new week starts today. Again -lets try and not have our drinks during the week until Friday and lets check in daily please. Wishing everybody a great Sunday Evening!

Let's start this...no more alcohol during the week!
I have no idea how to do this, but I thought we might as well start a group. As of Monday I will limit my alcohol consumption at weekends only! No more wine for me during the week. I do hope I won't be alone.

Saturday - Scale moved! yippppie
The scale showed 3 lbs gone, that's awesome. You all have a great weekend and remember....Sunday is the beginning of the new week! Enjoy your wine, beer, cocktail or whatever makes you happy!

Friday check in ...dangit
A friend came over last night -unexpected- and we had a glass of wine. We don't see each other too often and enjoyed the visit. Anyhow, almost did the whole week...and yes, I will cut the glass out either today or tomorrow. This week was not too bad for starters...wasn't it?
-
Thursday check in
I think I sleep better when I don't drink alcohol. No wine yesterday either, but I was tempted for a while. I am wine-less since 4 days and I have a feeling I might feel like a special treat tomorrow or on Saturday.
-
Monday 6/16 daily check in
I have been a good girl yesterday, even though a glass of wine was on my mind...I didn't go for it. I know this is going to sound awful, but my biggest problem will be to find something that I like as much as wine. A glass of wine (and more) just became a habit in the evenings

Throwing away my crutch....
Recently it hit me, I used food as my crutch. "Let's have a piece of chocolate" when I was mad, or sad. "Let's have a piece of pie" when I was angry or upset. "Let's eat a candy bar" when felt stressed. My relationship with food became unhealthy a few years ago. I gained weight and I let it happen; it seemed that I loved…

Thinking about Christmas in May!
I signed up 1 months ago and so far I could say Goodbye to 10 lbs. There are still 50 lbs more to lose, but now I know it is possible. Actually it’s fun as well. I am getting my mojo back. Yes, I am still overweight, but not very much longer! I have the most awesome friends here and love the support we give each other.…

New here! Tall..older with big feet should qualify!
All my life I was shy to tell people my weight, all my friends were 120 or 130 lbs and I was so comfortable with 160 lbs. Once I dropped down to 155 lbs and it didn't feel right.. I felt too thin lol. I am 5'10 and a shoe size 11. I felt like an Amazon when I was younger; they even called me that numerous times. When I got…

The 15 minute Brownie-Challenge~!
It’s like a new morning ritual, I grab a cup of coffee and go to my desk and meet my online friends. “Let’s see what they have been up to” and after that I plan my day. I chose my food wisely and spread the calories throughout the day. Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner it all sounds good, it all sounds healthy. Adding some…

The perfect every day workout...finally I found it!
I knew it, there is an every day routine that I can do every day...It sounds like a hassle, but I am willing to give it a try. Daily routines.....preferably at least 10 a day! Beating around the bush Jumping to conclusions Climbing the walls Swallowing my pride Passing the buck Throwing my weight around Dragging my heels…

Day 2 and already had a pity party ...are you kidding me!
I started yesterday, right when I signed up. I didn't want to wait until tomorrow (today) I was so excited. I have superpowers, I quit smoking I can do anything now. My healthy Dinner was in the oven, accompanied by a not so healthy Dinner for my husband (he works hard and doesn't need to lose weight)....and I felt so…

I love me more...what I learned when I quit smoking!
6 months ago I decided "this is it" and smoked my last cigarette. After 15 years I decided to quit...out of the blue...without any warning. The first weeks went well, very well it wasn't so bad after all! Yeah right lol I think it was week 3 when those cravings hit me left and right. I thought I am losing my marbles! I…

I need help please...as much help as I can get!
I have two nightmares right now...one is my weight, the other one is how I fell. I feel miserable...unhappy with the way I look. I am so off right now..it's not even funny. I gained 60 lbs over the last 4 years ..and I just let it happen. All of a sudden the weight just jumped on me..slowly but steady. I didn't…
