yay you is right!!:happy:

I hear you about sounding a little too wine affectionate!! But what I noticed when I started actually thinking about it- is that so many people are! Its like a joke. You are doing well!!, and I am alot like you. I didnt really mention I was cutting down ( out) until I had done it for a few weeks. Then I announced it, to…

day two is a good day!: :happy: Wine got me where I was- I was already about 20lbs overweight, then I quite smoking and started drinking wine at night to relax ( at my Dr.s suggestion! I was never a drinker before) and POOF, 3 years later and I had 50 lbs to lose. Halfway to my goal and I can honestly say wine is what gets…

whos stuck with it? I'm still working at it :smile: Down to special occasions, but october had 3 in a row then 2 in November so it was a bit of a slide.:drinker: Back to my water at night, a couple of drinks at my Xmas party this weekend, then dry until xmas again. thast the best "balance" I can come up with. I don't smoke…

thanks so ,much!!!:smile: the positive feedback is making my day!! and I also think running is making me a better person... certainly more determined and confident

thanks again! I am hoping to apply my newfound determination to the weightloss effort this time round. ( round 3)

thanks so much everyone for the kudos! As I said, I am crazy proud :) I am not a particularly determined person ( or so I thought),but I just really really wanted this. I wanted to get fit, but I also really wanted to finish the program. It was such a tangible, measurable goal and i wanted it! Now I have to speed up and do…

So GLAD i found this group and thread! Just finishing C25K ( yes it feels great!) but my problem is speed at the beginning I took some advice to go as slow as I needed to, and I now am jogging ( I feel fraudulent calling it running ) at a very very slow rate. so slwo i can't even say it out loud! So time to pick up the…

Then i switched to beer, less calories and i didnt like it as much... then I started to like beer! sabotaged all my good work too Now I abstain, except for birthdays and long weekends. I had one beer on Canada day and none since. took a few tries but i am happy now with ice water! You can do…

I dont't know you, but I read the entire post twice. My heart goes out to you! what crazy feeliings you must be having!! At the same time, I LOVE your attitude and spirit, and the Dr. who actually reached out and told you, you are going to be ok. Believe him! In my experience ( with family members), A Doctor would not say…

Checking in after many months gone! I finally did stop drinking wine months ago..after a 5 year nightly habit. It took a few false starts, just like when I quit smokling years ago. but I am now offically "off the wine" HOWEVER.. a few weeks after I stopped drinking wine, and of course just when my weifght was starting to…

I'm in going into my first weekend in a long while without the prospect of wine :)

day two done!

last night was good:smile: Day 2 today... Slept so well again, I do believe that is the most noticable (first) benefit of not drinking! How is everyone else doing??

Didnt have a drink of anything from Sept 1- Oct 2. Then had a bit for a birthday ( I had decided special occasions only) Then…
