Hello people:o

Just read some of this thread and would like to join you all if i may ? I intend to stop drinking pretty much altogether , I don't drink every day mainly at weekends but have drunk for last 3 days yesterday I had a large bottle of lam**ini and 5 cans of strongbow as well :eek:

To say I didn't feel brill this morning is an understatement the other thing is I have cml which when I drink I tend to forget to take my tablets for - This I cannot afford to do .

I'm hoping to lose weight along the way (2 stone) so going to start eating healthier as well . Think i'm gonna take the no pressure option for now and not count .

sorry for rambling

Mobo xx

and Good Luck with your goals! :T

Early call for tonight to make me 25/26 AF for the month so should make target

Drank both nights while away, but only two small glasses of wine on each (by small I mean not my usual half bottle sized glass!). I used to wonder why wine bottles went down with so few glasses consumed! It was just the size of my glass and nothing to do with me putting it away so quickly!

Can I set May at a target of 24 AF please.

So back on the wagon for me today. I have also put on a ton if weight and need to watch what I eat for a while to shift it (and a bit more!) - not sure whether to do 5:2 or slimming world.

I'm a huge SW convert gien. I started off with this thread to get my drinking under control and then tackled SW. I've been at target for almost three years now. There's a great SW thread on here if you're interested although I have heard good reports about 5:2.


I'm calling in for tonight, so that's


11 AFDs for April


and may I have my usual 10 for May please, Shaggy.

Welcome to the thread mobo :hello: & good luck with cutting down & losing weight.

Hope your move all goes OK satchmo & good luck in your new home

gien - like Maman, I can whole-heartedly recommend SW I lost approx. 20lbs and have maintained that loss for well over a year now .

Did have a drink each day over the weekend but nothing excessive - back to it tonight so I am declaring early on 10/12.

I would also like to set my target for May at 12 again please shaggy

Hi
Welcome mobo. I'm quite new here too and this is a lovely thread with lots of support, so you'll be fine.

AF again last night, though I have to confess I had to work at it. Long day at work, bit stressful, as yet another member of staff is leaving and I'm feeling quite isolated. Only 3out of 8 staff are staying.

Anyway, yoga again tonight so should be ok today, but out for a meal tomorrow! That will be interesting as I always have a glass when out with this particular friend!

Congratulations to all and please could I set my May target for 14AFShaggythanks.

Kind regards
Slowdown:)
