Hey all! I took December off (I know, I know) but am back! Started a no drinking challenge on New years day until my birthday (january 31st). I'm on day 8 and wow, all I can say is alcohol is looking very over-rated right now. So much motivation and better sleep to kick off 2014! Looking for some friends to support my weight loss in 2014. Please feel free to add! I have about 15-20 lbs to go, and looking to start the new years off right!

My husband and I've done the same thing - day 8 of no alcohol for us as well... It's amazing the changes and the amount of stuff we've accomplished on the weekends, now that we don't drink/aren't hungover!!0

Good luck on your challenge. I also challenged myself this month to CUT BACK on the wine. Tremendous amount of calories that I do not need in my life right now.0

I am not drinking in january either (I don't really drink much to begin with so it's been easy so far).
My husband is a brewer though so he is always trying to get me to taste his beer. Add me if you'd like0 -

Says the man with the beer in his hand!!!! Just teasing. I love it.0 -
Good luck on your challenge, but I'm out! Impossible for me... they say the first step is admitting you have a problem. HA... I'm still out...0

Ya, I'm more the nightly 2-3 glasses of wine person. I actually thought it would be harder than it is. So far it has been pretty easy to stick to just because I feel so much better.0

Nope. No way. I enjoy a beer with the ballgame and a bourbon on the couch. I still get up at 4:45 for my workouts. Alcohol isn't evil and I'd rather work it in to my diet and my lifestyle. If you are going to stop drinking entirely (and more power to you if you are), that's one thing. But if not, why create a temporary habit??0

I was advised that my weight loss stalls may be helped if I quit drinking as well...so I pledged to remain alcohol free for 28 days That is 3 week-ends of NFL playoffs with NO BEER! I will be partaking on Super Bowl week-end. At the end of 28 days I am curious to see if this makes any difference......0

To patientbear:
Hmmm... I think of it as a reset. I've been slowly drinking more often and it finally became a most nights sort of thing, not heavily but 2-3 drinks per night. I wanted to cut down but I thought a temporary abstinence would re-set me a little bit and at the end I could decide what my long term goals are. Anyhow, it's been getting in the way of my workout motivation.0 -

I was going to cut out alcohol for January too but it didn't work. I had a glass of wine when I went out with friends Saturday night and a beer Sunday when we had a friend over for game night. They tasted good but I had all those calories for what? Its not like I even had enough to be the life of the party, I just sat there feeling guilty. I definitely won't fall off the wagon again!0
