Good morning everyone. No more AF days to report. As planned, yesterday was a drinking day. However, the dress I wore yesterday evening felt a little tight so I have just weighed myself - I am 5lbs over my 'happy' weight :eek: . It looks like the Snickers bar I have been having every evening to distract/reward myself and generally eating more because "I'm not having as many wine calories" has had an effect. So I would like to join the Christmas weight loss challenge please Shaggy. I am starting off at 9st 8lbs and would like to lose 5lbs. I'll weigh myself weekly and report. Thank you for doing this in addition to everything else you do. XX

10/15 please. Not going to meet my target this month. Still struggling with grumpiness I think due to all my hormones being taken away from me. OH off to the land of the rising sun this week, to watch a game with a funny shaped ball. Just me and DD for 10 days, bliss. So aiming to bag quite a few afds for beginning of October and some weight loss. Will start today.

I was out and driving last night. I did consider a nightcap when I got back but decided it would be a bad idea to waste an AF opportunity.:D

16/10 AFDs please Shaggy

Slowdown

Hi
So I've realised that I have been getting my numbers wrong and I should have been saying my scores out of 9 days not 8! I'm declaring super early today as I definitely won't have a drink tonight. I haven't reached my target but have clocked up 8/9. The reason is that it was my birthday yesterday and I had three drinks last night with a total of 4.5 units. Despite not achieving my target I am really pleased that I managed to stop altogether for 7 days and only drink on my birthday. I also know that if it hadn't been a special occasion, I wouldn't have had any.
Thank you everyone for your support and I'll try super hard to hit target in October.

Saw off September with no trouble at all really. Those who say it gets easier the longer you go are right.

30/30 for September and I am up to 5 months/156 days consecutive completely AF.

Not sure what to put for Oct. If I can make it to end of the month, I would make it a round 6 months AF, but I did always plan to resume at some point in October, it depends on the timing of a couple of social things. I’ll say 30/31 for next month please with the aim hopefully of not drinking until the last weekend of the month. Good luck to all with your totals.

Morning all, 24/21 for me today. Last night was not an AFD, a catch-up with friends, immensely enjoyable and I'm not too bad this morning but I'm still feeling a little wonky! It's good to have AFDs.
