    Welp, there's no saving the calories in my day, and no only drinking on the weekends... I just don't work that way (sadly). I've never been good at that so coffee and seltzer it is. And I am dog-tired of missing my goals...
    I think my bff is taking this worse than I am!!

    Ha, when I quit, one of my best friends was a bartender at the time. She was definitely taking it harder than I was!

    HA!
    I'm not going to give up my whiskey. But, I am also not at a point health wise that I would have too. I would definitely choose my health over alcohol if it came down to it.

    I have almost completely given it up, but I am not opposed to having some drinks now and then. I decided to mostly stop because I have been on and off this weight loss wagon way too many times. Every other time I didn't restrict my alcohol intake and I failed miserably after a couple days every single time. This time I have been much more motivated without it. My will power has been much better and I have been going strong for a few weeks now. I also have more energy and my moods have been much better. I was a pretty heavy drinker before though, so it's quite a big difference for me overall.

    I very rarely drink and feel better for not doing so combined with weight loss you feel good. You can still socialise and have fun without drink go for it

    I was a massive drinker and have cut down on the heavier stuff...trying to stick more with wine where I can fool myself into thinking "hey, studies show wine is good for you" :smile: But, yeah...no I can't completely stop. No way. Someone make room on that bus.

    My diet and other lifestyle factors killed my tolerance. I get drunk (and majorly hung over) from a full glass of wine or a quarter shot of whiskey. So yep, I'm more or less a non-drinker now.
