@cathybird
 I'm happy to be wrong in this instance!

Which means I'm on 19/25 today.

I'm off for an MRI scan shortly, which has got me fretting.  I have cut out snacking which has resulted in a drop of 3lbs.

@satchmo1 hope the MRI turns out OK xxx

Jellybaby

22/28 for me please @cathybird

13/24 today please Cathybird.  Thanks, you're right this is still a massive improvement on the couldn't-go-a-day-without-a-bottle-of-wine self before I found this!  I do find that posting on here motivates me to keep going back to AF days where, in the past, I would have just thought that the month was a write-off and carried on drinking. Thanks Cathybird for all your hard work running this thread.

Hope the MRI was all mod @Watty1

20/25 for me today please.

And I knocked 2 minutes off my parkrun time this morning! 

The MRI scan wasn't too bad, certainly not as noisy as I remember. I don't know when I'll get the results.

Ah you’re smashing it now satchmo1, to shave off two minutes is really pretty significant. I notice that Chariots of Fire is the Sunday afternoon film on BBC2 tomorrow if, you know, you were seeking a little more inspiration. 🙂

Fingers crossed for your scan results.

I am up to 23/31 please cathybird, no plans to drink anything over the BH weekend and then really we are knocking on the door of September.

13/20 for me today, please, Cathybird.

I am in France at the moment, and there is a lot of temptation to drink socially, so I now need to totally avoid it for the rest of the month if I am to meet my target!
