in Motivation and Support
Hi Everyone!! :tongue:

First I'd just like to say that I absolutely love MFP! It has truly changed the way I think about weight loss and I've found it so easy to stay motivated because of the incredible community vibe we get here!

So as part of my health kick and weight loss goals. I decided to take two (long) months off of alcohol. I'm no alcoholic but I do enjoy a few drinks on the weekend as many of us do. However, I became tired of working so hard throughout the week, only to ruin all my efforts on the weekend because of a few drinks. So I decided to take two months off.

As it worked out, this was just before July started that I made this decision, and here in Australia there is a challenge called Dry July. The mission is to not drink any alcohol for the whole of July and get people to sponsor you to raise money for adults living with cancer. So I signed myself up and figured I may as well raise money for a good cause whilst kicking the alcohol :) I am also still doing two months, not just July.

If anyone is interested in sponsoring me for this fantastic cause, please hit the link below and follow the prompts :flowerforyou:

If not, well your general support through the next couple of months will be greatly appreciated anyway!! :drinker:

Good luck to you all in your goals!

    Well done and keep going! I've not had a drop since 4th Jan this year and to honest, I don't miss it at all! I defo reckon it's helped with the weight loss and I wanted to see if it helped with reducing my blood pressure too which it seems to have done!! And no more hangovers which is the biggest bonus of all!!
