    6/15 and 2SNC please.

    Brilliant news both Shaggy and Maman about no or very little gain over Christmas. I can't say the same - cue strict eating and drinking regime now - but very encouraging to know it can be done.


    I've never done it before! Got on the scales again to make sure it wasn't an aberration - no I really am 9 stone 7 :D (not too bad for a 56 year old!). The diet continues....
    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 did watch that. Also BBC Horizon "Is binge drinking really that bad" - I would recommend the latter if you haven't seen it....

    They showed the Adrian Chiles programme again too last week. Probably all the programmes are to help with Dry January. :)

    Honey Bear I was thinking now you've been AF for (I think) for nearly 5 years how do you cope with really stressful events? I still don't think I have this cracked....I think I'd still reach for a strong drink...(or 3)....


    Anyone else got any advise ? Good tips?
