I know how you feel on not announcing your plans, but try not to let it stop you. Honestly, some days knowing that I shared in this group that I did not plan on drinking that day was the only thing that stopped me FROM drinking that day...not always for sure, but some! Just know we're all here for you, and we're all…

AF last night for a 3 day streak. We’re picking up my granddaughter tonight but also going to dinner with my daughter’s family first. There may be a glass of wine with dinner, but I’m thinking not. I’m not a good moderator and it would just make me want more at home after dinner. I’m glad I just talked that through with…

@Womona 4 oz. of wine is nothing. I wouldn't even count that :lol: @SurferGirl1982 You don't disappoint us! You keep trying when you have a setback and THAT'S what's important :hugs: I just have to get through tonight and then I should be good for the weekend. I'm picking up my granddaughter Friday night to spend the…

Just a little success story for one night: I had already rearranged my food log for today and deleted my dinner and planned to buy a bottle of wine on the way home and drink it without going over my calories. I got inside the store, and the desire just left me. So, I got in my car and drove home and here I am at eating my…

@SurferGirl1982 Today sounds like a good day to be AF and start another streak! Thinking of you! @itladyee Get these last 3 days! I'm doing it with you! @tobinross You are awesome! Great month AF and exercise and weight loss...the trifecta!

AF last night and weight workout this morning. The NA IPA was not my cup of tea (HA!). It was very "hoppy." I took a sip and moved on. The Luna Bay Rasberry Rambler (10 calories) and Mango Mule (50 calories) were very good! Not too sweet and very good flavor. I had the most hope for the Clever Botanical Margaritas, but…

@itladyee They weren't really my teams. I just didn't want the two that made it to make it :lol: Glad you're feeling better! @shpuniarsky Great job on the streak! I drink my flavored seltzers in my wine glass and even order club soda, no ice, in a wine glass when we're out sometimes @SurferGirl1982 You've made wonderful…

My little meet up with friends turned into wine every night since. Grrr. I went to TJ Maxx yesterday and found some fun non alcoholic drinks to try. I'm at work right now, and I don't remember the brands, but I'll let you know them later at home. I'll stick with those tonight or just my sparkling flavored water if I don't…

Checking in. Not doing that great, but still trying. Happy Sunday, everyone! Go Bills and Go Washington! :lol:

Good morning. I had 4 glasses of wine last night in 7 hours, so not tooo terrible considering the length of time. Back AF today and planning AF through the weekend. @Michieb125 Looks delicious! @Womona Hope that back is better soon! @itladyee You're still being mindful and getting close to those goals! AF = 9 A = 13

Good morning. AF last night with intent to be AF tonight, BUT, I am meeting up with my friends to play darts, soo.... I don't want to be the one planning to fail, but here we are. AF = 9 A = 12

Isn't it weird how we all start to do that when we drink too much? I eat a lot of cottage cheese and chicken breast whether I like it or not :lol:

This is so true!

Trying to catch up responding to everyone. Thanks for all of your grace on my totally A vacation. I'll be able to do an AF one someday because I won't stop trying. AF last night after getting back and doing some work. I ate horribly yesterday, but such is life. Today is a new day and I have meals planned and I got my walk…

Welcome, @shpuniarsky Sounds like you're on the right path. Keep on going! Well. Mission AF getaway FAIL! I had wine each day. The first day, I limited pretty well. Day 2 and 3, notsomuch. Back home and back at today! I can still get more AF than A days this month. On the plus side, I got my workout in on Friday before we…

Way to get back up, @SurferGirl1982 I’m so proud of you!!!

Oooh! I love this!

@SurferGirl1982 Day 4!! So sweet!! And I do believe some of that weight will fall off if you keep on keeping on! And thank you for all the crossed things :lol: I got up a little after 5 and got my walk in and showered. Now I am sitting here drinking coffee and getting my resolve together for this trip. I can do this. If…

I'm going to post early AF = 7 A = 9 Headed out tomorrow. Fingers and legs and toes and arms crossed.

Try eating the yolk. It has the fat that keeps you full and lots of vitamins!

@SparkSpringtime69 It's ok. You're still with us and trying. You don't need a streak to be here. Trust me. I know :hugs: @SunnyDays930 Awesome stuff! Love to hear the success stories and coping stategies! @NonnieDoiron Sorry work is so tough right now. You're doing a great job with LA and with life! My first post was on my…

Day in our steak, too. I went to bed early last night. Still a little trouble asleep. AF = 6 A = 9

@surfergirl1982 I wasn't saying in any way to consider having a drink ever again! I'm rooting for you so hard and right now you're inspiring me to stay AF with you! We've got this!

@surfergirl1982 I agree that we need to be done, but I do think we need to take it one day at a time in order for it not to seem soooo huge. Right now, my next goal is to make it through this weekend. We're going out of town. I'm planning to take some books to read and I will drink lots of coffee and water and take some…

Yay, @SurferGirl1982 ! I had a frequent wake up night last night, but I forgot my magnesium before bed. It seems to help me stay asleep. Even so, I'm up and at it this morning and headed to walk. AF last night for a 2 day streak! AF = 5 A = 9

Mine too!! My dreams become vivid so I know I'm getting some REM sleep, and I wake up feeling refreshed!

Yay!! So proud of you @surfergirl1982! Keep that list handy today and keep busy! @SparkSpringtime69 You got your AF day also! Go you! Now let's all go for our second in a row. Time to streak!

Same! That's one way to put it :lol: I'm home and eating some rotisserie chicken for dinner and drinking my sparkling water. Doing OK, @SurferGirl1982 and @SparkSpringtime69 I'll check in later to see if you were both successful today.

Keep yourself busy, @SurferGirl1982 ! Sounds promising so far!

Yay! You're doing it, @SurferGirl1982
