Alcohol and weight loss

AllAboutThatPace

I was able to drink two glasses of wine last weekend, but I have the open calories. That is the only time I have drank. I don't think (at this point anyways) I will drink if I can't afford the calories.

Caloric deficit is all that's required for weight loss; doesn't matter how you get there.

Flagged three times for this?! Oh, MFP, build the like button already!

Agreed, there really needs to be a way to balance out the stupid people.

I have had no problem achieving my goals while drinking pretty regularly. If it fits in your calorie goals you should still be able to lose.

I've had a glass or two of vodka and diet tonic every day and I don't feel that it kept me from losing before and I don't blame it for being the size I am now (that's the fun of fast food and ice cream!).

Honestly, it's being honest in your diary and accounting for everything you consume. If you have the room, and you're honest amount the amount you're drinking (measure, measure, measure) you'll be just fine.
