Did you stop drinking??

I drank regularly while losing. I drank regularly while maintaining. I still drink regularly.0

Replaced most of my drinks with water. I still have a draft every now and then socially, but I don't crack a cold one just cause I'm thirsty anymore.0

I'm a practicing Irish-American, and cannot imagine a world that doesn't include drinking. Like many have already said, account for your drinking calories, and don't compound the problem by eating badly (pub food, greasy spoon diners, fast food) when you are drunk, which I think is more of a dietary problem than the alcohol itself0

No way, I always drink : )0

Nope! I stopped buying alcohol that I keep at home, but I still go out and drink. I also drink less because my tolerance has gone down, which is a nice money saver :P I just log it and don't really care if I go over. It's so occasional that it hasn't effected my progress.
I do recommend you drink a lot of water that day, or at least before bed. It helps process everything a bit faster and less chance of hangover if you get more than tipsy.0 -
Nope! I enjoy going to the bar with my friends across in Canada! My biggest thing- if you feel like getting 'tipsy', take shots, not mixed drinks. Mixed drinks are jammed with extra calories! If you have to have some, look it up before you go out, pick the ones with lesser calories, and DANCE YOUR BUTT OFF.
I always end up drinking 300 calories worth of drinks when I go, but I dance and end up burning 500, so I don't worry about it all that much. If you're doing it every night-then you might want to worry, but Once in awhile? Like the saying goes, eating bad for one day won't make you fat just as much as eating healthy for one day won't make you skinny!!0 -
Yes. Just until I reach my goal. Then I will make it fit into that days calorie goal.0
-
Since I have decided to eat healthier, I only drink on days that ends in "day"0
-
I don't drink often, but I've found that when I do it hasn't been detrimental as long as I log the calories and fit it into my goal. I had a couple glasses of wine Thursday night with dinner and still lost weight when I weighed in on Saturday.0

I didn't stop drinking, but I did cut back a little. I used to drink twice a week (once of the two until I was pretty tipsy). It does help to cut back, it's hard to track calories when you're drunk! Now it's more like two drinks a week total (unless there's a holiday/wedding/etc). If I have extra calories left at the end of the day I might have a glass of wine or I'll have a margarita when I get to see my friends. Even if you go over your calorie goal, once isn't going to kill your whole diet. Have fun! :drinker:0

Why would some drinks put you on a plateau? It doesn't work that way.0
-
I've stopped drinking for now. I never really enjoyed it all that much, though, so it's no hardship. I'll probably go back to the occasional glass of wine after I'm at my goal weight though, it's fun sometimes.0
-
HAHAHAH nope. I got utterly drunk as a skunk on Saturday and lost 2 lbs this week :drinker:0
-
I don't drink often but when I know I'm going to a have a drink I get as much exercise in as I can the week up it to. The one thing that I have found is that when I'm hungover the next day to not let myself eat the hangover crap. Just got to stay focused and keep up the healthy eating. Works for me0

Nooooooooooo-hoooooooo. I love my weekends.0
-
I have stopped drinking the way I used to. First, I can't handle as much alcohol as I used to do: after the 3rd glass of wine I'm done! And I'm not going to let a weekend ruin everything I did during the week. I do have a glass of wine or two, but that's about it. I did stop drinking beer. Don;t remember the last time I had one.0
-
i never started therefore i for one, didnt have to quit.0
-
I did not officially cut them from my diet but I have not wanted a drink enough to order one. Been a long, long time since I had any booze in my body. lol... Obviously, alcoholic beverages have never been very important to me or I would have a drink once in a while.
But don't even suggest I stop drinking coffee! :noway:0 -
I love wine too much to give it up. I don't drink a ton during the week (maybe a glass or two one weeknight) but I allow myself to have a couple of glasses on the weekend. It usually fits into my macros, but if it doesn't I don't sweat it and move on. I definitely, definitely have to be careful about food though- I do get snacky after I've had a few!0
-
Love my beers but. limit myself to one night a week. I usually drink at least a six pack that night---intended to get a buzz. So be it.0
