    No drinks... But I think I've consumed my body weight in a conversation hearts. Apparently my body is craving sugar.

    Hi everyone, just checking in - still going strong since January 1. I thought it would be hard on the weekend because I used to look forward to my Friday and Saturday night bottles of wine. Actually, it's been fine, no issues at all. I feel so much more clear headed and productive on the weekends instead of feeling like my head's in a fog most of the day.

    Great job everyone! Halfway there!

    Happy Friday! Tonight will be a little hard since we're having friends over and they're bringing champagne to celebrate a promotion. I'm determined to stay strong, though, and cheers with my sparkling water. Can't believe we're already halfway through with the month!

    Weighed in this morning and down .8 for the week. Nothing huge but that's 4 pounds total since the beginning of the month so I'm happy with that.

    Well done @meeganbrett

    Did everyone last the weekend?

    I did, I stuck to sugar free pop and 40 calorie hot chocolate. We have the family round on Sunday nights and all of them stayed dry this weekend :)

    I managed to make it through this past weekend but I'm definitely looking forward to February. Overall it hasn't been too difficult, but the times I've wanted wine, I've really wanted it. Two more weeks!

    How's everyone doing?

    Day 12 over here and I'm happy to say it's been easier than I anticipated. I'm going through sparkling water like crazy which is fine by me. I have a couple events I know I'll be drinking at in February (a weekend trip to San Fran and a wedding) but other than that, I'm going to try to stick to the sparkling water. My runs are just so much better since I cut out the booze which is motivation enough for me to not drink the nights before my workouts (so at least 4 nights a week).

    Hope everyone is doing well!

    That's impressive - probably a good decision moving forward. Great job!
    I am dry going on 18 days now - only one day I came home from work and really wanted a glass of red wine. But next month I have a trip to Walla Walla, WA and Napa which will probably more than make up for this month's hiatus. It hasn't been too difficult because I am not a big drinker. The best benefit other than not drinking my calories, is the cheaper restaurant bill when we go out to eat :smiley:

    Hi - I'd like to join in and I'll extend myself to February 19th - wine in the evening leads to salty snacks which sabotages all my good efforts during the day. Good luck everyone and congrats on 19 days so far!

    Welcome @cheriepie63 Even if you last until the 1st of Feb it is a lot less calories consumed if you don't replace them with any thing else :)
