    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.

    Best of all I have lost 6lb since christmas .

    I'm sooooo jealous :( but well done :T:T:T I would love to lose half a stone by July as I think I'm going to be my nephew's graduation ceremony and I'd like to buy something really lovely to wear...must resist crisps and chocolate!

    27/31 please Shaggy and echoing everyone's thanks for keeping track of us all:)
    And thank you to everyone on this lovely thread - it looks as though I'm going to succeed at a challenge I've set myself for the first time in a long while, and there's absolutely no doubt that it's down to this thread and the people who post in it!


    That's a great post ellsbel. It's amazing what you can do with a few buddies to help you along the way. I think there are loads of people out there whose resolutions are nothing but a distant memory. But that's not you!:T


    I'm calling it for today and it'll probably be my last one for January as planned drinks with a meal tomorrow.


    12 AFDs please Shaggy.

    Me too maman - tonight will take me my target of 12/12 but I do have drinks planned for tomorrow and the weekend.

    Congratulations to Ellsbell and all of those that have almost finished 'dry January' - you have all done so well :T

    28/31 AFDs for today.


    Meditation class tonight :-)


    I've meditated 6 out of 7 days (a target set by the tutor), and it certainly helps with the anxiety that is otherwise an almost constant state, which I know is bad for my long-term health.
    What would you get if all you got was what you were thankful for?
