    Im in! It's wasted calories anyhow and I am not seeing a loss AT ALL while drinking. Guess I will find out soon enough if the booze is the culprit!

    That's not gonna happen for me...
    My birthday is in August. School starts in August.
    That means plenty of spiked lemonade, 4Loko, cheap beerpong beer, and whatever else my underaged friends and I can get.

    I only party once or twice a month anyway so its not that big of a deal for me lol
    Maybe I'll do a "No Alcohol September" :D

    Survived the first weekend!
    My cheeseburger Saturday night was crying out for a good beer, but we managed just fine with sparkling water.

    Sadly, this has been harder for me than I imagined. I'm a drink with dinner/after work type girl and I thought I'd be fine but wow its hard! I just keep thinking this weekend whenever I was craving wine or a beer, "If I don't have enough willpower to do this for a month, I have bigger problems to deal with..." :ohwell:
    5 days and counting!

    I did it all of june and most of july (except one day), and so far august as well 8apart from this saturday)

    not too hard and honestly hasnt had too much of an effect on my weightloss.

    I'm not necessarily going to get through the whole of august, but I'm aiming for 26th when we go on holiday. I've done a month this year, but now my hangovers are still vile that I'm erring more to long term teetotal. Most friends are supportive, except one who is going to get a high with in the face with a chair if she makes one more comment!

    Well its now 50 months and 2 weeks since I started a new lifestyle and the first thing that changed was no alcohol so for all of you you can do it It really isnt a necessary part of life
    I am no tee totaler or anti as I used to drink multi martinis about a pint of gin a day and found my life is better and no real need to drink
    Good luck all

    Today I had a bit of a sugar binge, though. blechhhh.

    I did go to one of my favorite bars, and just had food and iced tea. Then took an hour walk. It was nice. Then came the ice cream. :ohwell: I need some kind of vice. Having sugar instead of alcohol was damage control.
