:wave: newbie, oldies

MarkMan - congratulations on the giving up smoking, it's so hard to do, but well worth it. I have stopped drinking for over 30 days now, and to 'occupy' my time, I joined myfitnesspal - this has helped me lose weight, without even trying hard tbh. Guess it is something else to focus on, we also call it facebook for fatties:rotfl:

SimIsOnTheUp - again, wow, you have done so well. It's posts like yours that spur us newbies on, so ty

Well, another AF for me - blind determination is making me abstain, but thankfully not been tempted either, surely 40 days are nearly up lol

Hope you all have fantastic sunny weekends, I may even get the bbq out tomorrow :j

Morning :hello:

I ended up going to the pub last night. I had 2 (large) glasses of wine - probably about 4 units. No alcohol in my flat, so if I stay in, I will probably be AF tonight.

MarkMan

Thanks for the welcomes!:D

Shaggy, I think I'll go TF for March - ease into it a bit

Tracy, thanks for the myfitnesspal suggestion. I lost my weight originally when I got a Nike+ and joined the gym - monitoring my performance really spurred my on and I lost 2.5 stone. Thing is that I'm still going to the gym as often (ave. 15 miles a week) but I know its the extra beer calories that really hurting me. If can halve my consumption (at least) the weight will go easily enough.

Well, time to hit the treadmill - can't drink beer while running - I find it just goes everywhere!:rotfl:

Have a good day everyone - its meant to be a sunny one in most places.

Mark
