Just started using MFP last week and could use some friends! My goal is to get my butt in shape before my wedding over the next few months. And, if anyone has any ideas on how to NOT drink beer during football season, please enlighten me.

Thats not a problem for me. How would i describe beer....its what id image water would taste like if you left a bunch of rusty nails in there for a few days LOL.
I really dont no any beer replacements, but maybe just drink less of it. Who said you have to stop?0 -
My two favourites used to be beer and red wine (depending on the weather!).
I swapped to gin/slimline or vodka/diet coke. I've only just learned to have singles.
It's hard, but eventually you learn to pace yourself and once you're off it for a short while, you'll struggle to finish a whole pint. I had two recently and it wrecked me.0 -

^^This. I rarely finish a beer. And even then, it's good for a pound of water weight the next day.0 -
Just make the beer fit in your calories. Or enjoy it once a week on game day and live guilt free.
Beer one day a week is not going to sabotage you. Don;t cut it out completely and it will make dieting much easier! Everything in moderation.0 -
Love beer...not light beer...but stay away from it to be honest. Will enjoy it once in a while but know too many people mg age 49 that keep drinking and are grossly overweight. Feeling fit and healthy is a far better trade off. I seem to enjoy red wine more...especially with meals...0

Be the official DD and always split a beer with a friend , it helps0

Just switch to dark beer. A Guinness will make you feel much fuller than 3 light beers. Plus light beers suck, so there's that too.0

:drinker: mmmmmm....beer.... No help from me. I refuse to give it up ESPECIALLY once football gets going. This might bring on haters, but rather than cut beer out, I will increase my exercise component. That way, I fee that I have earned my beer cals... I've lost over 60lbs in a healthy way so I must be doing something right.

hahahaha I agree!0 -
Sorry but beer and football season go hand in hand.... I have no advice, I actually encourage it.
I have lost over 25 lbs and still enjoyed drinking beer 0 -

Beer is the nectar of gods...I've lost 40 Lbs while continuing to drink beer...not that nasty *kitten* 1/2 calorie bull**** either...real beer. Just fit it in.0

^^^^^ This is not beer0 -
Not only is it almost football season, but also fall beer season. Oh the oktoberfests and pumpkin beers....I get a homer simpson drool level going just thinking about it.
I'm thinking it will be okay if I plan for it in my daily calories, buy the heavier bitter stuff (can't stand to have more than one or two of those), and maybe go for the splurge $12/bottle varieties so my wallet won't let me binge. Southern Tier Pumking anyone?0 -
You just have to make it fit. I drink beer. A lot. All the time. Almost every day. A lot of my friends do the same. It can be done.0

^^^^^ This is not beer
it is when your trying to to fit it into your calories. i dont just want 3 - 4... i want 10-12... so miller 64 it is...0 -
Instead of pre-game beer or snacks, do a pre-game football game with friends or family.
The beer will taste so much better after you’ve dropped your neighbor who’s trying to catch a pass across the middle and then you wag your finger at them and say ‘Not in my house. No; I mean literally: not in my house.’
Then pop that top guilt-free!0 -
Beer is still part of my regular diet. Just need to drink in moderation (never been a problem for me) and count it against your calories.0 -

I refuse to give up beer. Beer gets logged and its painful sometimes. I tried the 64 cal beer and it tasted like I left my glass of beer out in the rain. I drink craft beers now and just couldn't stomach the light stuff anymore. It works well cause Its spendy so I buy and drink less, but what I drink is really enjoyable!
Like any of my treats, I'd rather eat less of what really makes me happy and tastes good, than a bunch of artificially sweetened wood chips.
The days I know I will have more than 1 are the days I pedal my bike for 30 min longer or eat even better. I try to still remain close to my calorie goal.0 -

Beer, beer, beer... the more you drink, the less you feel, the less you feel, the better you feel. Let's have beer for every meal.0

I too have a wedding coming up that I want to get in shape for...and well football and beer do go hand in hand...Add me if you want.0

Light beer?!0
-
The only light beer I like is Miller Chill, and only because the lime flavor is so nice I don't really notice how weak the beer is. That's my go-to beer when I don't have enough calories for the real stuff.0

No TV and no beer make Homer something something...
I drink beer somewhat often. I brew my own and drink craft beers, so I do have to work them into my daily goals if I feel like one (some of the beers I have are close to 300 calories for 12 oz, and there are others with more). So I drink less of it than I used to before I started watching my calories.0 -
Never been a problem for me - didn't like the taste, couldn't see the sense in having to learn to like the taste and decided on a hard and fast rule, don't drink anything that is the same color going in as it is coming out (in it's various forms). Feels like it is just being rented. Also, have MANY other vices to $pend the money on! 0

Beer is so good because it tastes yummy when it is ice cold on a hot day OR when you have already had two ice cold ones the rest can be room temp in a dirty glass and you won't care. It must be the alcohol.0
