  • Good look with job news Annie.

    2/2 for weekend for me for last night and setting myself for 5 for the SNC please
    21 for November xx
    September 2017 Debt = £25330

    Starting afresh.

    You can do anything if you put your mind to it. x
  • Another AFD for me so 5/10.

    I find it really tough to set the right targets. Sometimes a high one seems to really help and other times it may just be that I’m not motivated so high and low targets don’t do it. TF didn’t work for me. Keeping on keepibg on helps. I think if the thread wasn’t here I would just drink all the time whereas at least the targets sometimes encourage me to these end of month races to try and hit them.

    Sleep well everyone.
  • 26/25 and 1/5 for me today :).

    In my quest for interesting AF drinks, bought some Brewdog raspberry fizz. Well, if you like sour I'd recommend it. Can't taste the beer, just the sour raspberry and lemon. Nice for a change but I think I'll stick with Nanny State for a treat.
  • Lild have a mulled wine without the alcohol that tastes really nice. I think it is great. x

  • Another AF weekend for me so as of today I am up to 25/27. Unless I have a major wobble between now and the end of this week, I should make it through Nov having drank on just one single day this month, not a big deal in the scheme of things but for me that is progress.

    December is a different matter though and I am already thinking about what I can do to have more AF days than I would usually manage. Difficult time though - what do other people do? I have already told work I am not going to the ‘do’ this year, but that is just one day.

    Morning!


    2/2 weekenders, 2/5 SNC and 23/26 for the month please :)


    We've been offered a babysitter for this Friday so we're going out for a meal and a few drinks. I've got a medical on Monday and I find if I drink it raises my blood pressure so it'll literally be 2 or 3 drinks with dinner and then home. Apart from that it's going to be a quiet week.


    Also had a little blip on the scales last week so I'm determined to refocus on the weight loss over the next 2 weeks, before the party season begins!
    You can have results or excuses, but not both.
    Challenge - be 14 Stone BY XMAS!

    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.
