Need to lose weight but know the booze is my major downfall! Need a buddy(s) to do dryathlon with to keep the motivation up and to raise cash for Macmillan cancer support. My DH guffawed when I said, ..... Want to lose lbs at the same time (ps dryathlon is to keep off th booze for all January). I am 13 st 4 lbs and could do with losing a few stone too....eeek

Not another month straight away, surely?!

spookyskeleton · 31/01/2014 20:24

rollonwhy 3 more evenings?? is it not the first of Feb tomorrow?

Not going to do another month -mainly because it is DH's birthday next week so it would be rude not to drink wine [ but I am not drinking till then and that will be the only alcohol I have this month Smile.

have lost half a stone this month so my motivation not to drink is still high as I need to shift another 2.5 stone

OhOneOhTwoOhThree · 31/01/2014 21:59

Well done abstainersGrin
I will probably have a glass or two tomorrow, but am planning a dry-ish February. Certainly no drinking on a school nightSmile
