Morning
I drank yesterday but am feeling increasingly that I'd like to give up, or at least try for a long period of abstention. I don't feel terrible today, and I should after 2 bottles of red, which makes me think that my tolerance is far too high.
A friend has recently given up drinking altogether and recommended 'The truth about alcohol', so I've downloaded it to my kindle and will have a read.

21/15 please

I might be being too ambitious for February as we are away for a week but still trying really hard to lose weight and wine is a disaster - both for the calories and even more because then I eat more.

I do feel better after losing some weight but need to lose lots more. Very anti-social though and missing date nights out with OH as well as wine on Friday. Most other days I can do it and very pleased I haven't given in despite lots of stress but Fridays just feel different.

I may have missed something Maggie but looking at your target and score, there are still nights left for having a drink so why aren't you having date nights/socialising? :think:


It's avoiding empty calories that motivates me most (although health and finances are important). I've worked out that I can lose weight on 2 drinking days a week, maintain on 3 and gain on anything beyond that:(. It's about what's a balanced diet and keeping the treats (wine in my case) to that sort of level works for me.


No drinking today.


17/10 AFDs please Shaggy.

I have a spreadsheet too! But I have never been as low as 30, that is brilliant :T

Oh sorry that's 30 AFDs for January.


For January this year I've had 7 units. In January 2011 I had 8 units (and 30 AFDs) my previous PB - so this year I'm beating my previous personal best in units....


I'm currently using my previous AFDs as targets to try and beat but you're right I should try and better my unit intake too...

Morning all, 26/21 for me today and I reckon this will probably be my last AFD for January as I am off on holiday tomorrow but you never know, I might squeeze another one in.
