April Start Weight: 202 April Goal Weight: 190 April 1: 202 April 8: 197 April 15: 195 April 22:195 April 30:

I had my first work night drink of the month. Ok I had 6. I'm planning on staying AF the rest of the month so wish me luck! 15 days AF so far in April - which is way ahead of where I've been the past couple of years.

13 out of 17 days AF so far. It's been a good month and a solid start to my AF goals. I've worked out 17 times, I'm eating well and I've dropped about 9lbs. I'm not sure if I can go totally AF, but cutting way back has been a huge change and I really want it to be a new way of life vs a 1 month challenge. I read something…

Hope you made it the rest of the night, @beebva4 ! I'm still AF for the workweek with a goal of making it until Friday.

So this weekend was a major fail. I don't even know how many drinks I had Friday - but it was a lot. Probably in the neighborhood of 12-15. I started out having a couple beers with my wife while we made dinner, then got a text from my cousin he was at the neighborhood bar so I walked down and made up for the 1st 10 days of…

April Start Weight: 202 April Goal Weight: 190 April 1: 202 April 8: 197 April 15: 197 April 22: April 30: I had too much fun Thurs-Sun!

I broke the streak and had 4 16oz IPA's last night. The 1st one was my choice, and the other 3 weren't. That's ok - I'm back on the AF for another week or so before I'll let myself have another cheat day.

@globalhiker Thanks and to keep it real, I actually feel like crap today. I think I've been WAYYY low on calories and it finally caught up to me while playing hoops this morning. Zero energy. I haven't been tracking my exercise calories and I typically work out twice a day. I've only been eating about 1500 calories. I'm a…

Made it! 10 days AF. I'm feeling like that was a really good "reset" on what has become a drinking problem. I'm going to continue pushing to have as many AF days as possible in April, but more importantly I'm trying to figure out if I can be one of those people that has a couple drinks a couple times a week. If history is…

9 days AF. My youngest son has a baseball game from 6-8 tonight so I know I'll make it 10 days AF. To a lot of people, 10 days of no alcohol is not a big deal. To someone like me, 2 days of no drinking is a big deal, and a reason to celebrate by having 10 beers. There are 2 things that are helping me stay committed: * I'm…

Day 8 of AF April. I got to hang out on the back porch and listen to my 4 year be amazed by the stars. I wonder how many other "little things" I might have missed because I'd forget it in the morning? :) Oh well, I can't change the past but hopefully I can keep finding these new reasons to not get blasted all the time!

I'm late to the party but I'd like to play! April Start Weight: 202 April Goal Weight: 190 April 1: 202 April 8: 197 April 15: April 22: April 30:

Since April 1st:* 7 days AF. New record for the last 20 years (I'm 39). And it's probably not even close. * 8 Workouts. I'm doing the Lift 4 and playing basketball. I was 202 on 4/1 and expect the weight to melt off if I keep this up for another couple of weeks. * 1 half gallon of chocolate marmellow ice cream. No regrets…

It’s 6:40am, everyone else in my house is asleep, coffee is brewing and I still haven’t had any alcohol, even though we had a pizza party last night and the wife was having a glass of wine. She’s super supportive and asked 1st and I was like, yeah girl, get crazy. ;)

4 days of AF! I've also been working out pretty steadily and eating right and have dropped 6lbs so far. I imagine that rate will slow down but it's a motivator. This weekend will be another test but I'm feeling confident. I'm looking forward to waking up early tomorrow, not working out, having coffee without any of the 4…

Thanks everyone! I'm looking forward to the challenge!

Hi all - I decided to try and not drink for the month of April and just stumbled upon this thread. I drink about 6-8 IPA's a night 6-7 days a week while maintaining a med/high level of functionality at work and life. I've been trying to figure it out for a few years now (i bet I haven't gone 3 days w/out drinking in the…
