    I am going for all of July too. Main reason is to lose weight so also going to add a no McDonalds goal to this too..

    29 days completed so far. Nearly failed yesterday as my friend leaves his drinks in my fridge.

    23/27 for me today please.

    I'll aim for 27 for July, too, and really must stay on track.
    What would you get if all you got was what you were thankful for?
  • 13/13 for me today please, can't wait for that jumpy hearty happy face against my name, woohoo!

    I genuinely do get motivated by the little badges. First of all, thank you @cathybird - you do us all such a service. But second of all, is it slightly strange to be motivated by little stickies rather than, say, the obvious health advantages of reducing alcohol consumption?

    Anyway stickies work for me, that's all I'm saying.

    Me too 😊 and no it's not strange at all. I get genuinely excited at the beginning of the month to see what cathybird has for us. I also have my favourites. One of which is this month's demented duckling but I think my all time favourite is a pink elephant doing the cancan 😀.

    I am 29/25 please. X

    Yes. And no. The whole "giving up" ethos is a combination of things. Who cares what works? The end result is the same. 
    Now a gainfully employed bassist again - WooHoo!
  • @marahouti I saw and loved the pink elephant doing the cancan; indeed it might have been the reason I decided to be brave and join this thread!
