Need to keep working on the snacking, mind. Still eat way too many biscuits etc.
Rice cakes - 26 calories (and for me at least) remove that craving. You can throw some fruit on them or some decent (not sugar laden) Peanut Butter for a decent snack.
I've lost almost 13kg in the last 6 months with the majority of that being January onwards. It is not all the booze, returning to work and rejoining the gym have a massive impact but for me the willingness to eat 'better' and exercise comes from a clear head.

I’ve just ****ed it guys - after tonight, I fancied a nice whiskey. 104 days is a good run.
In the circumstances, you were allowed that!
Well done for the 104, Simon.

Made it to 50 days yesterday, which became an arbitrary goal about two weeks ago.

Currently on holiday with a group from work in their 20s and 30s and it's ****ing shots of tequila all day long. I'm wrecked.

Was going to lay off the weekday booze for a few months (holidays exempt of course)

20kgs lighter, waist 5inches or so less. It’s not just the alcohol, I’ve made a lot of changes. But yes I do feel good for it.

First week is the hardest mate.
Good luck to you
Cheers. Haven't been back to work yet. I spend half my day selling wine so that'll be the biggest test.
5 days in with 95 days to go

Dont know if the original question was answered but it's useful to compare alcohol quantity in units.

150 days up. Went to a works event with a free bar Friday evening, didn’t miss it at all. My dry Jan has now become 5 months and maybe forever, who knows.
