[leisha]

My Friday night wine sets me back every week. I'm going to join you and skip it this week and see what happens! 8/1/12 -8/7/12

I'm in!!!

[bmore4now]

Alright.... Let's do it! I'm so ready. Tired of this turtle/no weight loss. Drinking is not working for me. I love the stuff and that's a big problem.

[cathyct]

I'm back in, nothing has changed; I have written to a few of the oldies but no response yet.

[cathyct]

eom

[leisha]

cathy....what origninal thread by wifey? I'm afraid I got lost.

[bmore4now]

SHe's talking about this one....

Alcohol Support Group

[cathyct]

Yes, Leisha and bmore. That's the one! It had a lot of good stuff in it and I kinda thought we should try to get the old gang back and stay on the same thread. But of course if you prefer to start a new one, I'll try to do both. But the oldies from last summer ARE answering, at least, Gewygand has ... I'm still waiting to here from Pitch, who was our longest sober member and big cheerleader, and Wifey, who I cannot find. I also cannot seem to find Kacee 1958. Any thoughts, Bmore? Hugs Cath

[bmore4now]

Hey Cathy,

You can call me Kim. I have no clue where everyone is, but maybe if we continue to post they will get cyber vibes from their friends. LOL

[bmore4now]

Lets use this thread to do a week at a time.......! 8/1 - 8/7......

[Mauigal]

Hello Ladies,

I'd like to join this group. I NEED to join this group! My weight has remained at an all time high for way too long now, and I know alcohol is the root of it. I will have to start next week, though. I know it sounds like an excuse, but I'm going on a short vacation Saturday thru Tuesday. Anxious to get this monkey off my back. Good luck to you all this week!

Welcome Maugal!

No judgement here. Have fun on your mini-vacation and be ready to get clean and lose some weight next week.

Are you doing Adkins or general LC?

Wifey no longer posts on LCF.

DAY 1 - no liquor.................. ON TO DAY 2. I hope everyone is doing well. :-)

[Mauigal]

Thank you for the welcome, Kim. Good luck on one day down! I strive to do Atkins or at least lower carb, lower calories and try and justify the wine calories. But, it's just not working. Inevitably, I end up drinking and eating too much. I will be giving up the booze until Sunday and start clean again next Tuesday.

Good for you. I'm sure we will see a difference with refraining from the "comforts" of alcohol. It's so dang relaxing after a hard days work and having to cook. That's when I enjoy it the most. Oh well! Let's not go there right!

[leisha]

Day 1 down for me too.....it's the weekend that gets me!

That means we are going to check in more frequently on the weekend. LOL

I think I'm going to spend my time trying to make low carb food for the week. I got a new low carb cook book. Actually it's old, but new to me. LOL

[leisha]

That sounds like a plan Kim! I really like to read through the recipes here but haven't done that in a long, long time! I think I might spend so time doing that and I'm going to plan to "declutter" our bedroom this weekend. When I get idle hands that's when I want to have some wine...when I'm all "caught up" with my chores!

[pcaltman]

I think I might join you all, but will have to start Monday. I love my wine too, but needs to stop. Life is a mess and it ust seems to help. But come Monday I will on board for one week and see how I do Good luck!

[leisha]

Day 2 done! Hope you're doing fine Kim! I have my Friday night planned up so I should be good!

See you Monday Pam! See you Tuesday Lani!

[bmore4now]

Hey there Leisha!

Day 2 is history for me too and I'm down 1 lbs. Yipeeee!

I got out my low-carb cook book. I asked my husband last night to look through the pictures to see what two meals he think he would like. So, I got my marching orders. LOL

Also I want to make a really good soup. With some cheese, heavy cream, etc. I need to find a receipe for that. Something I can put in the crockpot.
