Awesome! :)

I think it's different for everyone. I stopped drinking wine on July 23 (last drink) and I started seeing the scale move on August 3. I had been plateauing since mid-May before that. Reducing/abstaining alcohol was/is only one part of the equation though. I'm also tracking food/calories in MFP, drinking plenty of water and…

Keep up the good work. It will come together eventually!

I know that it took me a few weeks before I started losing after cutting out the wine, but every body is different. Are you drinking enough water? Are you cutting back on your calories and tracking your food intake? Are you working out? Change takes time, and your body is healing and processing the changes you are making.…

10th of October! We are nearly 1/3 of the way through the month. Congrats to everyone on the progress you are making!

Be patient. The weight loss will come!

One weekend in October almost behind us, three more to go!

Sometimes I have sparkling water in a wine glass.

Congrats to you as well!!!

Today marks 76 days without alcohol for me! I figured out that if I make it to the end of October, I will be at 100 days.

The balance will come. Baby steps!

I think if you hit the star on the right at the top of the thread, it goes into your bookmarked threads. I have been having a lot of dreams too.

I'm not sure if healing the liver slows weight loss, but i know that when you make adjustments to your lifestyle, sometimes it takes the body a while to catch up and see what you are doing. Depending on how much you have abused your liver, it can take 30 days to six months to completely heal your liver....but the best way…

I have about ten pounds I would stlll like to lose as well. Feel free to add me!!

How about saying you are making a choice to not drink during the week? Saying you are making the choice or saying I don’t do this gives you the power! You are powerful and strong!

Turning 40 in a couple of weeks - Minnesota.

I agree everyone is doing great!!

I use meal replacement shakes (Isagenix) and welcome friend requests. You have to do what works for you! And the fact that you are on MFP shows you are committed to a healthy lifestyle!

I also use Isagenix. Feel free to send me a friend request. Keep up the great work!

My lunch plans for the Italian restaurant this weekend were cancelled so I don't have to worry about the temptation of wine! More days to stay on track :) I'm allowing myself some grace for my birthday at the end of the month if i need it, but my desire is to do another month of abstaining. I'm liking staying on…

Keep going! Good sleep will come.

This Nomo app is cool. I like seeing the money I am saving!

Day 3 and I’m three for three on zero alcohol so far.

Oh, it's this coming weekend :) I am open to ideas and suggestions! I am okay going over on my calories with lunch, but the wine will be tempting. with 70 some days behind me now of not drinking, I'd rather NOT start again. But taking it one day at a time, and trying to plan ahead. I do know that they often like to come to…

This weekend should be interesting. I am going out for Italian food! I love wine and I love Italian food. Will I be able to have Italian food without wine? I certainly hope so! So far, I have done well in my eating out experiences, but I this will be a true test this weekend.

One day down, thirty to go. While I am allowing myself this grace this month (birthday end of month). I am still secretly hoping for 31/31 days sober this month. I am loving staying on track.

Welcome everyone! Glad you are here. 31 days! We got this!

Today is the last day of September! How did you do? How do you feel? For those of you who are at 30 of 30 alcohol free days today, CONGRATULATIONS!!! For those of you, who reduced your intake this month, CONGRATULATIONS! For those of you who are following this thread, thinking about making a change, but not quite ready…

You can do that. Just keep track of your sober days :)

October will be here on Sunday! Do you have your goals in mind? Have your plan of action? Do what works for you! Moderate, abstain, reduce. For me, I plan on abstaining most of all of October. I may give myself a pass or two for a milestone birthday (mine) near the end of October. However, my hope is it will come and I’ll…
