    I'm all in. Argh. Can't believe I'm agreeing to this. :noway: Can we have meetings and stuff? Like, Hi, I'm cmriverside and I'm powerless - etc.

    Yes!

    So now, August is officially Metabolism Boosting Month -
    60 minutes of working out each day - starting on 8/1 with a 6AM spinning class
    Lots of cross training and yoga
    Two 1.5 mile dogs walks per day
    Vitamins D, B, C, E, and cal/mag each day
    Lots of 200 calories meals throughout the day
    8 hours of sleep per night.
    NO ALCOHOL

    Missing anything?

    I think it would be good to check in to put on blast what we avoided when it comes up. Like, "Only sober at karaoke. I sang anyways cause they were all too drunk to notice I suck." WIN :)

    "I'll be with you in spirits" too funny.

    I will commit to no shots for the month of august. How's that? will probably save me $80 over the course of the month.
    hehe. Friday shots are free... and plentiful. but even harder to turn down!

    No shot August, I'm in for that.

    I'm in also. I think this is exactly what I need. It may be harder said then done with the bottle I have in the cabinet. I should give it away to avoid the temptation.

    I’ll try to go alcohol free for another month. So far, it’s been 26 years, 10 months and 25 days without, but who’s counting?

    I'm another half-in. I have three events this month that I know I won't avoid it, but I'll do my best to avoid it on the other 27 days!

    (says the girl whose profile pic was taken in a beer truck....) UGH

    Per my Nutritionist two glasses of red wine a day are considered good for health, of course you have to take into account about 230 calories and carbs. But good luck to all who are trying to stop.

    Wow! Congratulations on your long sobriety.

    I just did this challenge in May! I try to not drink for a month every few months to give my body a break.

    With you in spirit--I don't drink all that often anyway, but I have a wedding to go to and there is no way that I can go to that and be sober!!

    I am with you ---can't do it --love my red wine :blushing:

    This is great - I'm in.

    Been trying to avoid it, but just had a vacation.... that made it a little difficult.

    I'm heading to Vegas on Sept. 1st so this is PERFECT TIMING!!!

    I'm making mine a no alcohol or soda challenge!

    Funny I just saw this, as I decided to have a 'teetotal' August! You know, at the end of the day when MFP says if every day were like today you'd weigh ***lbs in five weeks. Well alcohol has been impairing my progress, so I plan to knuckle down and have a strict 5-weeks. I mean, 5 weeks is not long, right!

    I AM IN!!
