    10/12 for today please Shaggy & can I also join the weight loss challenge - don't need to lose much but I have a stubborn 4-5lb that I seem to have been taking off and putting back on for the last year :( My ideal weight is between 8st 10lb - 8st 12lb so I will go for 5lb please.

    Also, can I set my October target at the usual 12 please?

    Thanks very much :)

    Again I can’t thank you all enough for your support ,,, and again I feel rather silly using our alcohol thread to talk about it , but given my history of booze it seemed the best place for others to understand!
    I still don’t know why he hasn’t (yet) told me about the meeting up ? And that is the only thing that is bothering me ,, I’m happy for him to have friends of both sexes , as I do , and given our distance we live apart we both have to have other people in our life!
    I’ve decided not to drink until I’ve spoken to him , and I’m not sure when this will be , I’m going to keep a watchful eye of any ‘other signs ‘ first , and bide my time ,,,
    Like I said before we have a lovely time together and just back from the most amazing holiday and this is only one thing that has ‘niggled’ me in all our time together, I’ve never felt insecure and due to the fact of his health , stress of divorce and running a business I don’t want to be all overwhelming and accusing over nothing ,,,,,
    But I will get to bottom of it eventually,,
    So in summary the good things to come out of this are ,,,,,
    Not Drinking
    Weight loss worry
    Every cloud and all that !!!!! X

    Your friends issues certainly put things in perspective slowdown. :)

    Sorry to hear you're still worrying loveasale but you have a plan so hopefully now you've made a decision you can park your concerns until they resolve themselves. DH and I also have male and female friends. It's normal IMO.:)

    I'm having another smiley today. I love it when I reach 14. It doesn't happen often so it's a good month for me. :D

    14/10 AFDs please Shaggy.

    P.S. Thanks for putting me on the October list.:)

  • 3/8 please. Tired tonight as I was awake alot from 2-5 am this morning. There's an open bottle of wine on the side this evening and I wasnt even tempted! Wow!
    I'm supposed to be going for a drink tomorrow with a friend I haven't seen for a while. It's the anniversary of her mum's death and I'll have to be very strong to resist a drink. Here's hoping!
    Well done to everyone who is tackling their weight loss at the same time. I think I'll have to stick to one thing at a time. I might lose a bit simply by cutting down.
