    4 AF days and 65 days in a row.

    However disappointed that my weight loss has completely stopped in the past few weeks despite regularly walking up to 50 miles/week and cutting down to 2000 calories per day. I've been very unmotivated in recent weeks because of this.

    I'm also having problems with (lack of) weight loss. I have cut down significantly on alcohol intake, eaten very small and light meals and taken some serious exercise in terms of bike riding and long walks - weight loss so far is 2 weeks at staying the same:mad::mad:

    4/29 AFDs and no wine demons whispering today.

    Well done FreebyFifty

    14 consecutive days is good:T

    I heard a few whispers this afternoon (I think it was the prospect of a drink in the sunshine) but it soon passed.

    2 AFDs for June and 2 for the SNC please.

    What do we do when we fall? We get up, dust ourselves off and start walking in the right direction again. Perhaps when we fall, it is easy to forget there are people along the way who help us stand and walk with us as we get back on track.

    I actually have little problem abstaining over the weekend, it's after work that I find it difficult, I feel I need a "reward" for enduring another day at the coalface. The work isn't too bad but it's the people I work with who can get me down and have me reaching for the bottle. Joanne

    I think you are my twin! :p
