Well I've actually bought Evian! Quarter of the bottle in and I've noticed no differences yet!

You will feel much better at about 2/3 of a bottle

I really need to stop drinking alcohol.
I just feel like I need a beer to wind down at night. It's all psychological.

Just a quick hi,

Wasn't AF last night but only had a couple of glasses of wine which is a huge improvement on a bottle and a half!!

Not sure what today will bring, but am going to try and not drink mon-thurs and see how that goes?

Hope you are all enjoying this beautiful sunny day :j

Hi

Jo- how about putting your kudzu drops for the day in your bottle of water- you can steadily swig it all day feeling smug that you are tackling your cravings, flushing out your kidneys and generally rehydrating- might do this myself, god I'd feel smug! Don't forget the diet and vitamins- it'll all combine and out will emerge a new you!

Someone has called my bluff today re: 'Oh, I can't possible go to the gym, I've got noone to go with and nothing to wear'- old mate turned up today with a pair of trainers that will fit me that don't fit her, saying shes booked us both an induction session on tuesday evening, and shes paid for us both up front so I'll have to go- cripes!!! My first thought was to rifle through my make up to make sure I've got enough waterproof mascara, eyeliner and lipstick to stop my face falling off if I sweat to much-not sure if this will be absolutely neccessary but I'm not taking any chances.

Good luck today everyone.

fedup I already had you on 11 - see post 4216, so I've put you on 12 but let me know if you want me to change it.

HS, that's fine as it's day 12 today and I'm not drinking today!

I'm just going to check back and double check I am on day 12 today, I'll post the total later.

Happyshopper!!!!! I have recounted on my posts and I have completely miscounted my days!

I'm on 15 AFD including today!!!! :jGet in!!! :jGlad I recounted!! I got mixed up over the BH and when the forum was offline.

Only 4 more days to go to reach the target! Which means I should reach my target before my holiday starts next week.

Lovely BB I was thinking about May and thinking of going for 26 AFD for then. Anyway will let you know before I go away as I get back when May has started

know your enemy in all its many guises...if you want to reach your goals, never relent....never completely put your guard down or it will fool you...

its effects are far-reaching but you can turn it around if you want to.

stick around!

it's up to you.

remember "constant vigilance!"

take care,

Hi Jo1972

Well done for starting the 14 day challenge . As someone who has drank a bottle of water every day for last few years can I suggest that you wash out the Evian bottle when it is finished and fill it with tap water tomorrow. It will save you 60-70p per day and the mineral water is not any better than tap - believe me !

Good luck
