164... I want to see this GONE by Thanksgiving and not to creep back after that family food fest either!

LiLLy Hah, I'm noticing that I'm becoming a lightweight (in comparison to before I changed my lifestyle) as well! One of the beers I like a lot is a low carb beer which therefore makes it slightly lower in calories, but I still find it really hard justifying those calories - in fact I haven't had a beer since I changed my lifestyle. I haven't had wine either, and I used to drink that with at least a few meals per week! I still go out sometimes, but I drink either Bacardi and coke zero or vodka lime and soda - but since summer is hitting us here in the southern hemisphere very soon, the thought of a beer on a hot day is making me think about the planning aspect! Oh man long post sorry!

Still 169.8 today.

Oh man, I am becoming SUCH a lightweight. I used to be a champion drinker - on Saturday, I had three glasses of sangria and two shots - and passed out on my friend's couch before 930PM! That used to be my pregame!

I can't imagine giving it up for good, so it's still a part of my plan, just much, much more infrequently (and better caloric choices). I just need to learn to pace myself!

Sarahflower - welcome welcome, may your stay be as short as possible here!

Rainbowstripe - Beer in the summer is a must! I haven't really cut anything out of my diet so to speak, I'm just learning how to eat and live better with all the things that I enjoy. So I do still enjoy alcohol, but don't overdo it. One thing that's pretty much gone is fast food, only have it once in a while, like once a month.

fatmac - Mmmm sangria! Love love love love it. Althought I cant have more than one glass at a time cause it becomes too sweet for my taste buds. LOL at passing out at 9:30! Ive done that too with what I used to pregame with...eeeekk that was a kick in the butt.

Oh forgot the most important part!!!! As of this morning I weigh 160.8. I will cry when I see the 150's pop up on my scale.

Lilly- I think sangria gets too sweet too, so I usually cut it with about a third sparkling water. Even watering it down didn't slow me down on Saturday though!

Whoohooo! Go LiLLY19!

Oh no Jumped from 160.9 yesterday morning to 162 pounds this morning (from 73kg to 73.5kg). I think it's water retention from the absurd amount of sodium in my lunch yesterday - also perhaps that my muscles are a lot more sore from jogging on monday and then zumba last night - I dunno. I'm sure I can't have had an actual gain, so I'd like to not get disheartened. I'm not moving my ticker up either.

AWESOME! Good job and let's hope you see those 150s soon

Thanks Lilly! I never eliminate beer out either -- I am a huge beer fan. I don't drink a lot though, and I usually go to this local pub (hundreds of beers!) and something high-gravity so I only need one. It's a little more expensive, but totally worth it, and it fills me up. It's good that you've found a way to eat less without cutting anything out.

167.8 today! YAY!!

Thank you ladies for the support!! ))

Rainbowstripe - i wouldn't move it up either, and I didn't a few weeks back and now its coming off again. Im sure its a temporary stall for you.

Sarahflower - I dont think I would have been able to stick to a "diet" if I eliminated everything that I enjoy, so scaling down works for me.

Up to 163 again... >_< Sigh.

Stick to it... stick to it... I'm not moving my ticker back....

Woo, down to 166.8! Finally, after 3 days of slight increases, it's good to see the number going down again.

At 169 solid. Now to get to 165 by 11/20!! I live in Japan, so I don't really have to deal with Thanksgiving. But, I still have the temptation of delicious treats.
