Well done :T stopping drinking is such a help when trying to lose isn't it, I failed dry Jan so am trying dry Feb instead (it's shorter
) are you staying off or going to have the odd glass now? MFW 67 - Finally mortgage free! 💙😁0 -
We are staying off until 15th Feb.
We are not very good at moderation which is why we stopped, and I really struggle to lose ANY weight when drinking.
Today I am grateful for
* getting home in the light
* last mock papers tonight
* I forgot my lunch so have 1000 cal left
* family
* 7 more get ups!
