After realising I had over 3 bottles of wine over the weekend and that is a regular occurence, I have set myself a challenge for no booze for two full weeks including two full weekends. Who wants to join me and keep each other motivated?

    This challenge has come at the perfect time for me
    I just woke up after drinking almost a bottle of prosecco myself last night and thought I really don't like how alcohol makes my body feel!
    Would love to give up alcohol permanently but not sure I can,
    It's such a waste of calories too!
    When shall we start the challenge?

    I'm down with the challenge. I haven't had a drink since July 29th. I don't know how long this will go on, but hopefully I can keep it up until I see some real progress in my weight loss. But for now, I'll commit to 2 more weeks!

    I'm down... though Saturday will be a wash for me- already have tickets to a wine event. In any case, participating in the challenge may help me to be a little more mindful ;)

    I'm in....it may motivate me not to drink at the cookout I'm going to this weekend (always a challenge).

    I agree the less alcohol, the better I feel and the more solid I performance I see in my workouts and day to day activities.

    So,
    Last drink: Aug. 14th
    two weeks: Aug. 28th

    Let's see how long we can keep it going! I have a wedding on September 14th, so I am sure I will drink then, but that would be a full month of no alcohol.

    I would like to be in, but everyone I socialize with drinks almost every day! But here's my oath...I'm going to REALLY try for 2 weeks. I know the extra calories are truly holding my weight loss back!! How often should we report back?:drinker:

    I can never give it up permanently but I am learning to drink in moderation.

    I'll have a go, don't know if I can do two weeks though!.

    Normally have 2 pints a night so that's (400x14) 5600 kcal saved..

    Sure I quit for 6 years once as a NY resolution gone mad. But I can't start until Saturday because I'm going to see Motely Crue on Friday night and I plan to drink.

    I usually just count it as my "snack" and add a little more exercise. I don't drink nearly as much as I used too, at least I've cut back :wink:
