13/14 for me, got heating again, it's like a sauna in here.Good to see new people coming along, the 2 things that have help me the most cutting down is alcohol free beer - becks blue and ghost ship and having a 1 day break between drinking days. It make you have to plan which day you are going to drink and then half the time you either don't bother or just have 1.I was hoping cutting down would show on the bathroom scales but it didn't.Nothing to see here, move along.7

Good morning everyone,
Welcome to Grey Pilgrim, good luck. I know that for me my alcohol intake is intrinsically linked to my weight, if I can control drinking the weight follows.
11 please Cathy

maman said:Welcome @Grey_Pilgrim, or should that be welcome back. 🤔 You've done amazingly well with clearing your debts and house purchase. IIRC you've managed to cut down and shift lard before. I'm sure you can do it!👍
Morning Maman - yeah! dropped loads in the past but it always creeps back on.. I need to adopt methods and make them into good habits (the way I have done with money), so that changes actually stick!
Weigh in this morning is 22 Stone 8. Depressingly, it's pretty much the heaviest I've ever been. But it's good to know the starting point....I'm on this now and I'm going to batter it!

12/25 for me today please.
What would you get if all you got was what you were thankful for?2 -
You're right @Grey_Pilgrim, you've drawn a line as a starting point. Personally I'd decide what my absolute favourite treats are and plan how much and when to have them in the week like @Coveredinbees!!!!said. For me, it's alcohol at weekends and sticking to healthy foods the rest of the time.
Well done @lantanna. 👍
