Iāve had a look in the drink less forum as Iāve mentioned before Iām trying to cut out alcohol to help with weight loss, and for general health.
There doesnāt seem to be any posts or support on there at all, itās like an outdated /unused forum.
There must be lots of us trying to cut down on alcohol use to help with weight loss, and for other reasons... is there another forum Iām missing?
I do think a drink less forum has its own place other than weight loss forums as avoiding alcohol can bring different set of challenges to avoiding the wrong foods, though many of the same strategies Iām sure.
Iād love to be able to share my own journey and support others, itās really sad that thereās some unanswered posts for help on there.
I donāt know anything about the Drink Less Forum but we have a monthly post by Eleanorba here healthunlocked.com/nhsweigh...... which might be useful? Like all our special posts and Clubs itās in Pinned Posts on the forum homepage. š
Hi Babysteps, I'm sure I gave you a link to our Pinned Posts when I welcomed you but just in case I missed it out, here it is healthunlocked.com/nhsweigh...
Do scroll through to see what's there, as well as the DrinkLess Club.
I hope you'll be back with the Feelgood Friday weigh-in team this week. You were very chatty and supportive from the beginning and the team support around here is the best
Ah thanks for this! Not quite sure why I didnāt find the thread before but Iām a bit more familiar with how this all works now. Iāll join in there and signpost people into it.
The DrinkLess Club forum is dead as a dodo! Which is a shame as it sure thereās lots of people that want to drink less but not for weight loss reasons.
I will be back on Friday! sorry Iāve been a bit quiet, but I have been weighing in each week, just felt a bit negative about my progress so I think thatās why I havenāt been posting. Thanks so much for your help, with everything
You'll find that most of us go through negative periods and that's where the regular support here really can make a difference.
Not exactly related but if you read today's DD (Wednesday) you'll see discussions from people having bad times and good times and the great support that each lot have received.
I agree with you, I'm sure a Drink Less forum should have a lot of followers. Sometimes it comes down to having a few people helping keep up the momentum. The DrinkLess club here has been going for a few months now, leading up to Christmas, and it's kept rolling, thanks to the host, Eleanorba and all the members who have joined in. I had to seriously knock alcohol on the head a year or so before I joined the forum. I hope you get the balance that you're comfortable with
I've just managed to go alcohol free for six months now and it's all thanks to a lady called Annie Grace who wrote 2 books - This Naked Mind and The Alcohol Experiment. I signed up online for alerts and hit one FREE 30 day challenge. You can get access to a closed facebook group also which is BRILLIANT for support. Best of luck
Hello, EvelynC, and welcome to the Weight Loss forum
As you'll see from the replies above, we have a DrinkLess club you may like to join. We also recommend a good starting point is joining a weekly weigh in, on the day of your choice, and using the Daily Diary to share your meal plans. You'll find all of them, plus our Welcome Newbies message and much more, in our Pinned Posts healthunlocked.com/nhsweigh...
Have a browse and join in wherever you like. Active participation can give you a real boost so I hope we'll see you out and about, around the forum
I would also benefit from this type of group Babysteps 2020I I thought I saw a post about Drinkless July but canāt find it ! I suppose we could chat to each other and people could join us š
Hi Jeff, if you scroll up on this post thereās a link to it it from Bridge Girl above, if ur using the app it can be hard to find things, but thereās a thread on the weight loss forum each month, so yes you have seen drink less July! Iāll be trying to moderate my drinking this weekend, good luck with your goals too! Hope to see you on there
