    Dizzy Imp I have been allowing wine in the food on an AFD, assuming it's just a small amount early on. I didn't count a liqueur chocky at Christmas though as the booze was really strong so I decided to drink that day - there was a y in it anyway.

    Barny, I hope that you find being AF something positive out of this.
    Another 2 for me so that's 12/15 please Shaggy, Wednesday and today.

    I caved yesterday so swapped with today so I csn still hit my target of 15.

    I think you can definitely count cooking with alcohol as being AF! :)

    22/30. Only one more AF day to add to my total as had two glasses of wine on Thursday. I am going to have another go at moderating - we will see how I get on! Not planning on drinking this weekend.

    Have a lovely weekend all!

    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've been meaning to say, Shaggy, that you must have all but disappeared by now because you're reporting consistent pounds lost every time you post.

    I'm at the top of the healthy weight band for my height - I'm trying to get nearer to the bottom of the band - the difference between the top and the bottom is about 2 stone. TBH my life has been an almost permanent diet!! :rotfl:For me, controlling my drinking and dieting go hand in hand.

    24/30 for yesterday please, Shaggy, and most unlike me, I'm calling tonight as well, so 25/30 just to save duplicating the entries later.

    31/31 for May please, too.
    Better is good enough.
