    I count my calories religiously. MFP helps me do this to the last 1/8 teaspoons! 😆 I disagree Riverside : it is the wine. Read about alcohol and weight loss. Not everyone’s system is the same. You have to factor in other health issues and medications that contribute to metabolism/weight loss. I need to lose 40 pounds. Since February have lost 8 1/2. Not fast enough for me! So, I am going to eliminate the wine for two weeks and I’ll let you know how my scale responds. Have a good day everyone.

    you will lose weight as you will be reducing your calories by not drinking wine...

    yup

    Nooooo that's woo! I didn't lose when I didn't drink wine! (It had nothing to do with all those fun sized snickers and milky ways and never counting calories, I'm sure :))

    But having fun burns calories so fun sized snacks shouldn't have calories. I've been lied to.

    Where's the "I love you more than words or chocolate can say" button??????

    Edited to add: Not in a gross, online stalkery way. :)

    Reedited to add: I don't really love you more than chocolate. I'm not THAT crazy!

    Excuse you, I'm the gross/creepy stalker in this relationship! :#

    But really, I'm glad you chose chocolate over me. Chocolate should always come first.

    I believe the Keto diet advisers sometimes mislead people. I’ve concluded that my end of the day treat of 4-6ounces of red wine is causing me to not lose weight faster on Keto. Granted there are no carbs BUT the wine turning to sugar once in the system, stalls the fat burning system. I’ve lost some pounds but it’s been very slow ...which is atypical of Keto so I’ve been told. I have been super conscientious about what I eat and I exercise 3-4 times a week and moving up to 5x once my schedule cooperates. So, just my two cents on alcohol and Keto. I guess it depends on how fast you want to lose but my aim is a lot faster! Summer is around the corner!!!

    Hi @Rougey38 - I’m also on keto - a glass of red wine typically has approx 5 carbs. Perhaps this is taking you over your macro limit...

    Good luck on your progress! 🍀


    Then what happens?

    Chaos. Pandemonium.

    Cat gifs.

    Profit!

    Ya, when I quit drinking I picked up an M&M habit.

    I've never been to an AA meeting without Oreos or donuts or the like. (Although I hear that snack-free meetings have since become a thing. Not sure how popular a thing they are though.)
