DH and I usually go to our local fav place on Wednesday nights (it’s “burger night”). We go early, the bartenders know to give me my “special glass” and top it with Prosecco… we stay for a few, order food to go and home by 8. Last night, DH asked if I wanted to go. I said I didn’t really want to go there and not drink. He…

Ugh, I didn't realize that. I am in the trial now... I guess that will be another deciding factor!

Wasn’t feeling great last night… went to bed early. So, no temptation for sure! Jan 1-10 AF -Georgia

Jan 1-9 AF Cravings are a bit subsided in the evening. Honestly I haven’t really been “tested” here at home. It’ll be when we go out to our fav bar for burger night or our next fav for the Gorgonzola dip. That’s the real test - make food AND alcohol choices. Since I am looking to stay AF for January I am happy to avoid…

Many kudos to you!!! I am back on the horse again myself - a positive attitude, and hoping it sticks this time.

You'll find lots of support here and other discussions. Make sure to take advantages of all of the resources and advice you can get. You know you can do this!! Have a great week... - Georgia

Had a pretty decent weekend of tracking, not too much outside-of-my-plan activity.

One full week of AF in the books. I feel a bit better, but unfortunately I think I am battling the cold that has been circling around my family members... so body aches and headaches are here. Better than doubled-up with effects of too much wine, I suppose. Wishing everyone a great week. -Georgia Jan 1-8 - AF

Pretty good day today, even got some exercise in. Hoping to see some results. Hope everyone is having a great weekend so far - Georgia

Another AF day winding down. I had a glass of the St Regis alcohol-removed champagne. Not terrible, not as sweet and obviously grape juice as the Welches bottle. DH is out tonight with his friend, and is staying out overnight. Usually I would use nights like this as my “free pass” to drink as much as I want alone, and not…

Welcome! You will find lots of support here... seems like there is always someone in a similar situation! I am back to MFP after a little break, but I've always loved it here. Hoping this is my time to make it stick. Happy Friday! - Georgia

Good morning! Last night was my first outside-of-the-house temptation. Went out to dinner bc my daughter’s college roommates are in town. Local spot with the best sangria. I stood firm. Helpful that the girls are only 19 and DH didn’t get a drink! Happy Friday! Jan 1-5 - AF - Georgia

New to the discussion. Hi everyone!! Heaviest weight: 241 lbs Jan start weight: 241 lbs Jan goal weight: 232 lbs Jan 1: 241 Jan 2: 240 Jan 3: 238.6 Jan 4: 238 Jan 5: 237.6 I'm in the "sweet start", so the drops are expected due to the new structure and water weight. But I'll take it! Also doing "dry January" to reset some…

I really do find the posts on this discussion to be so REAL! It's refreshing. Other discussions can be inspiring or bring you to a new way of thinking, but this one is just so relatable. Thank you to all who choose to share, to be honest, to be exposed. Last night was my first night of real cravings... I beat them - but I…

You look amazing! Quite the inspiration! B)

Hi all! I am here for the inspiration and the motivation! I am back on MFP after a little hiatus. My alcohol story is a very familiar one I'm sure. Social drinker becomes at-home drinker, becomes stress drinker, becomes no-reason-needed drinker. Wine is my drink of choice. If I am somewhere that has alcohol, but no white…
