I sadly gave up (for the indefinite future) wine. The empty calories in alcohol were just too much for my old-lady metabolism, which is apparently similar to that of a garden slug.

It seems to be working, as I’m back to losing weight, although it’s obvious that I’ll never again be able to lose a pound and a half a week, week in, week out. Boo.

Waaah, this was my only vice!

Someone needs to develop a white or rose wine with soluble fiber, dammit! View attachment 263533

I miss wine. But I developed an allergy to it.

I’m surprised that I don’t particularly miss it. At any rate, it’ll be around if I want to resume, once I can get this weight off!

I think I mostly like the idea of a glass of wine. Its very situational for me. Only red though. White gives me a headache.

-2.2 wowsers! I nearly picked up the scale and shook it, but thought better of it.

-6.8 since joining this happy throng, -9 since return from Cuba on Jan 20 (I only use Cuba as a start point since it's the longest time I've gone without scales.)

We must have the same wrong scale :D

I know, right?

What does your "overall" include? Is that from when you really knocked off weight last year or whenever? I thought I remembered reading that you were currently just taking off the holiday creep.

I guess this is where I need to learn to be satisfied with the fact that I'm doing healthy things for myself, whether it changes the outward appearance or not. I might just be at the point where it is what it is.

Oh, well. Got up and got on the treadmill this morning.

I'm still trying to get younger. I know if I put my mind to it I will be 40 again. Wow!! 40 is younger!! LOL

From beginning of June 2018. Got to my goal of 15 lbs in August 2018. Stay around 14-17 lbs loss usually, but birthdays/holidays it's around 10 lbs. 19 lbs was my highest before today, 19.8 is my new highest weight loss total so far. I mean that freaking incorrect scale couldn't give me 0.2 more!? :D

That’s great overall.
Where are you vs your goal
Click to expand...

My goal was 15. Just continuing what I'm doing and seeing what happens, it feels great. My older sister has a much better body than me - athletic and toned, but I've never thought about going that route because that is just not realistic. So for me it was just getting to a healthier point of proper portions and activity.
