Hi everyone!

Glad to see this group is still active. I frequented this group in 2015 before I got pregnant. My baby is now 7 months old and I'm trying to lose the last 15lbs of baby weight. I recently stopped breastfeeding and started to get into the bad habit of drinking a glass or two of wine every night so I'm getting back on the horse!

    Hi I am glad you are here... The group isn't as active as I would like but it is nice to have people to talk to about this. I've been successful since January 1st!

    Let's try to add more folks in this group. I'm sure there are a lot of people who want to cut back but not totally give up alcohol.

    Yeah, I read "Wine" threads all the time. I will point people to this group when they ask about cutting back.

    I'm back after far far too long. Going on a cruise in May and I need to drop a few before then. Very much in the habit of a couple beers after work while I make dinner. Need a change!!!

    I was in the "no alcohol" group for awhile a couple of years ago. That didn't work for me.

    What I've been doing for the past year is having 1 1/2 oz scotch when I feel like a drink. But just one. I like it, but not a ton. And I can sip it, and just have one. Then I might have wine, which I really like, on the weekend if there's an opportunity. Buying a bottle of wine is a mistake for me!

    I get cold at night in the winter, and the shot of scotch is amazing at warming me up. But. It'd be nice to limit it to weekends. Now that spring is here, it's time to develop better habits.

    I have to admit, I'm not succeeding at not drinking during the week. I do try and have 2 no alcohol days and keep the rest of the week to a maximum of 2 drinks. I've also been measuring my wine (with my food scale) to keep myself accountable.
