    Happy New Year to you all.

    I have just caught up from October with all the trials and tribulations.

    I’ve been slipping back these past few months, which shows me that I do need to be here, for accountability and motivation. One month I didn’t even get into double digits, which is a first and definitely not good.

    So I need to re establish all I did before. I think it’s pointless doing Dry January as I’ll fail and then it’ll backfire.

    Please can I set a target for 18 and I want to reach 20.

    Making things achievable, then I will address the rest.

    I believe this happened due to habit, boredom and selfishness.


    Welcome back Cuppa Tea :wave: It's good to hear from you! Sorry to hear things haven't been so good - I'm sure you can turn it around though xx You're right about being here, it is a lifesaver and always has been.

    Hello
    Well December was boozy! I always knew it would be, I think I managed 14 AF days.
    I have done serious fitness challenges booked next year and I also want to lose another 2 stone so am starting the year with Dry January... do 31 for me. I really hope I can do it!
    Say what you mean.. mean what you say... without being mean.

    I'm back!

    I hope you all had a fab xmas. I magaged to drag myself on to the wagon on the 28th and 29th (yesterday) and am hoping to stay there through to at least 31st January. Me and DH are doing dry January again. So, another AF NY - my second in a row.


    I've put on so much weight - it's shocking. So, has DH - so we will be dieting together. We started today. The fridge is empty of xmas food and full of veg!

    We did, however, have a terrific Xmas so I mustn't grumble!!!!!!

    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.

    hi Shaggy!! :wave: good to hear from you :) I tried hard to have a restrained Christmas but it didn't work ... it's quite hard, I think! Still eating my Christmas food though down to the last mince pie and handful of chocs. Hats off to you for doing dry January, it's always impressive when people do the whole month, I think. :)

    Thanks Pricey - just to check, you said a post or so ago that you wanted to set a goal of 245 for the annual challenge - do you definitely want to make it TF instead? ... :)
