Wow thanks for sharing! I can relate to this too. It's not really a case of massive addiction or a problem as such, but more just because I have got into the habit of overindulgence!

You caused me no offence whatsoever...and I just wanted to say how sorry I am for your loss. It was hard to read how much you've suffered at the hands of alcohol and addiction. An eye opener for sure, and that's why I want to knock this drinking on the head now, because I fear that it will escalate.

Ooooh I LOVE this!

Wow congrats on that amazing loss!!!

Great. it blocked my worse a%r*s"e!!!! HA!

Thanks! And for the previous post, really made me giggle with the motivational song, but also felt like I got my butt (or *kitten* as we say here in UK) kicked, which is defo what I need right now. I like the sounds of that plan too, seems like weaning myself off it, rather than a full on ditch it all at once attempt may…

Hi, I hope you don't mind me joining you! First day of getting back on the wagon with healthy eating after the Christmas indulgence and I've only managed 2 alcohol free days so far. I struggle as my hubby drinks a couple a beers and some wine every night and I tend to join in, I find it hard to say no...especially after…

I guess in a way, yes, because I enjoy the way it helps me to unwind, so it's not just because I enjoy the taste per se. Also, I guess I am addicted, because once I start, like this triggered off over Christmas just because I unwound 'too' much and just drank every day, and then it becomes a slippery slope. I dislike it as…

Wow guys thanks for the responses. It really helps to know that you guys have lost weight by cutting down on the alcohol and those tips are really helpful. The benefits sound great too!

Hi silkmouse, just wanted to say I identify with this too! It's a hard habit to get out of...and I find some weeks worse than others, especially when I struggle with my anxiety. I also have a habit of having too many glasses of wine to unwind! I've been known to go to mcdonalds and order 2 large meals and a mcflurry to…

Well done. I am also trying to loose weight and recover from binge/emotional eating and could use some inspiration, would you mind me adding you? X

I LOVE your butterfly face mask and your hair is enviable!

Hi, I'm also from Northants! Feel free to add me. I used to go Trilogy gyms when I lived in Northampton, they were nice. I go to Balance in Kettering now as I'm closer to there! x

date :)

Raid the food cupboard in the background with you!

Generally I swim more than use the gym. But I can't stand overly splashy swimmers! Also when someone swims too close to you or cuts you up when the pools almost empty!

Hi, I'm from the UK too, looking to lose around 2-3 stone! Feel free to add me :) Good luck on your journey x

10! Great muscles :)

Hi! I'm also a stay at home Mum of one! My little boy turned 2 on Christmas day! How old is your little one? He was born 12 weeks early in 2013 because I had pre eclampsia. I'm hoping to get pregnant later this year again but it's important I lose weight to reduce me becoming ill and having another early baby. I want to…
