I started at the end of January AF. February was completely AF and March had 21 AF days. During this time, really concentrated on making healthy food choices and exercising. As of today , I have lost 12 pounds since starting This process. Cutting out alcohol has made a huge difference in weight loss goals. You will see…

Joining again this month. My goal is to be AF. Last month was a struggle for me and I had a few damp days. Thanks to the group for keeping this thread going!

Very inspiring and encouraging!! :) :) :)

There is a lot of progress being made by this group !

It's ok to feel frustrated. Trust me, I've been there before. You are doing the right things, just keep going. Exercise and eating healthy will be worth it. Sending positive thoughts your way !!

Heavy cream is my go to as of late. I also use half/half. coffee is the start to my day so I Prefer to enjoy it! Sometimes I add 1/2 tsp of sugar but not always.

Totally been there before. You made the right choice !

Something that I have been reminded of since starting dry February, alcohol should never be used as a coping mechanism. Celebration and having a good time are one thing but reprogramming myself to not use alcohol to deal with negative emotions is what I am focusing on now. Being out with friends or family and not partaking…

Joining this challenge! Current weight 151.4 Goal weight 140 Currently doing yoga, Pilates but will start weights again next week. I am logging food but not exercise as this gives me a reason to splurge. It's an individual preference. So far it is working. Looking forward to sharing in this thread, successes and challenges.

I joined the February challenge and am in for March!!! This community has made such an impact. Since February challenge, I have lost 7 pounds, feel great and am at peace with myself. Like some of you, I seek to be alcohol free, at this point, I cannot moderate. I think in time this will change,but for now am striving to be…

Thank you! Headspace App I've used it a few times in the last couple of weeks. Sometimes you just have to take a few breaths to gain focus again.

Day23 AF. Last night was my toughest challenge since starting this process. But Instead of having a drink, I meditated for about 5 minutes to refocus. It made a huge difference. I was able to abstain and continue AF.

Second weekend AF. This includes going to a pub and not drinking xs 2. I stuck to seltzer water and lime while family having beer etc. It has been challenging but still AF as of tonight. I feel like I'm gaining back control of my life. Feels good. This thread is extremely helpful and encouraging to keep going.

Day 10 AF ! So excited that I made it this far, will keep going. Still sticking to seltzer water with fruit in the evenings or if I'm out at bar or restaurant.

Great job! You resisted the urge. Success :) :)

I am glad to report that I have lost 3.3 pounds since tracking food intake especially carbs and sugar- 5 days. My daily goal is 45 grams carbs and 30 grams sugar. Trying my best to stay under. No alcohol is a part of this as well. I have discovered seltzer water with fresh lemon or orange. It is satisfying as if I'm having…
