    I was just like you. I couldn't imagine drinking vodka with anything but juice. I started by mixing half juice and half soda with my vodka. I kept gradually adding more soda each time until I was only adding a splash of juice. Now I drink vodka and soda with a lemon. I don't even miss the juice. You could also use flavored vodkas. Hibiscus and raspberry and two of my favorites.

    is possible for me to lose weight and still be able to have some drinks on the weekend, I do well losing during the week, but I gain five pounds every weekend and lose it by Friday then gain it again by Monday. my drink of chose is vodka and orange juice, I enjoy drinking on weekends and I don't want to give it up but i want to lose weight,i tried the no sugar and flavor water and i do not like it. I just need to give up drinking.feel free to look at my diary, i do share and log my bad habits.no bashing please just good old advice, i just want to lose weight a enjoy some drinks on the weekend

    I drink regularly and I am losing weight. Is the alcohol, combined with the juice, causing you to exceed your calorie goals?

    yes I know it is, i usually have about two maybe three drinks everyday during weekend each drink measured 4 to 5oz of vodka and about 6 to 8oz of oj per drink,pretty bad i know, and i never drink juice unless im having a drink, no soda what so ever

    How many calories does this come out to in total?

    thanks everybody for all the great advice, today is Friday, so I will try some of these tips this weekend.
    to answer your question,one drink could equal about 400 to 500cals according to mfp.

    I drink vodka, I also use fresh orange juice but then water the OJ down with sugar free/diet lemonade. I find it reduces the calories in the orange but still gives it enough flavour
