    Morning :hello:

    The good news is that I was AF last night. The bad news is that I have put on 4Lbs over xmas (in less than 4 weeks) :eek::eek::eek: I knew it - all my clothes feel horribly tight :o

    Another good reason to pile up the AFDs.

    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.

    Dare I ask, what happened to ISOM?

    Looks like she last logged on in June 2013. I joined the thread in October 2009 and I'm not sure she was posting then. I actually don't remember her - don't know about anyone else who was on the thread before me?

    I guess she cleared her debts and is living an MSE debt free AF life :D

    Know what you mean debjay. 31 days is the big goal. Yes, day by day is what gets us through but it's defo the weekends for me.

    I am going to start today and see how many AF days I can do till the end of Jan. I'm away in Spain for a couple of days later this month so they will definitely include alcohol but here goes.

    welcomewagon.gifDo you want to join the January challenge as TF (Target Free) ?
