And shaving my knees has become a hazard! All those boney edges used to be nice and smooth and round. I've cut myself several times!

I get tired of leftovers quickly these days, but someone in my support group had some amazing advice... "Get over your phobia with wasting food and throwing away food". I have to tell myself that no one is going to die be asides threw out half a casserole or half a banana. It's just food...

I'm down 70# and only have 5# to go until I reach goal. I'm working out like crazy but old habits are creeping up that I have to really be mindful of. Water is still a chore, but I'm getting there

I'm 5'2" and was sleeved 6/15 and I've lost a total of 65#. Highest weight 210# surgical weight 197# and 145#now. I lost rapidly at first but it's been slow to come off since August. I keep hitting stall after stall. I go to high intensity spin classes 2-3 times a week and TRX once a week. I think I look great!!!

I don't have exact measurements, I just chop and mix

I had never heard that before.
But after some quick google-fu, and although this truism is repeated a lot online, apparently there's no clear-cut relationship between alcohol and obesity / metabolism / weight gain or loss. In fact, the relationship sounds fairly nuanced, depending on how much you drink, how often you drink, how obese / active you are, etc.:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alcohol_and_weight
One of the research findings includes this one: "Alcohol also appears to increase metabolic rate significantly, thus causing more calories to be burned rather than stored in the body as fat (Klesges et al., 1994)"

Luckily I'm not tempted by nerds and suckers and skittles. I'm more of a chocolate girl. So, I just bought all the stuff I'm don't care about.

It really does get better.

I'm missing all the pumpkin stuff too! I've started adding pumpkin pie spice to my shakes and it's curbing my cravings big time! Maybe try adding some to your plain yogurt with a dash of stevia.
