in Success Stories
Since joining I have taken my life into my own hands. Not only have i just gone my first day without alcohol for a number of years, but I write down everything I eat and in 11 days it has helped me lose 11 pounds.

I feel incredible, thank you all for keeping it alive and putting all the calories in etc.

Changing my life day by day :-)

    Very nice victories! That is a lot of weight to lose so quickly. Please make sure that you are getting enough calories from a good variety of foods. If you are like most of us, you need to figure out a lifestyle that will serve you well for the rest of your life.

    36 days in, I follow the guide religiously, lost a whopping 28 pounds now. So happy :-)

    Now starting the gym and focussing less on the weight loss and more on the muscle building and trimming the shape, try and get rid of the remaining double chin and bit of belly! Want to very slowly lose the last stone and Im done!

    Not drunk a drop of alcohol for a month. Putting it all down to this site, thank you all so much :-)

    Awesome. We're all living one day at a time. Might as well make each day one step closer to our goals.

    The first time I lost weight, I would tell people I didn't feel particularly bad as a heavier person. I had energy, and I have been blessed with good health. Never had cholestral or bp issues. But I felt better ABOUT myself. Getting healthy, staying healthy and feeling good about yourself is what it's all about.

    That is so true. Just the other day I said to my girlfriend that I think I know what happiness is now. Feeling healthy every day, more confident, able to enjoy our daughter so much more.

    She is also using this site and has lost 14 pounds in the same period of time :-)

    Great Job! People want to take the easy way out and just magically drop the weight. In actuallity this is the easy way, it just takes some time. You look great and can certainly run after your daughter with no trouble.

    Thank you all so much, you are guys are utterly great and an everyday inspiration to me, and I genuinely mean that. If I ever fancy some rubbish food I just log on here and read through the success stories :-)

    Ive had a couple of blow out days, but Im quickly back on track when I come here.

    6 weeks no alcohol, I feel calm, relaxed and so happy.

    Is there a way to donate to this site, as I genuinely feel that without it, I wouldn't have been here in the next 10 years. And I truly believe that.

    If I can help give something back, I will happily do so.
