    I just recently quit. It was totally messing up my focus. I am down 50 pounds since I started no drinking on June 20th. It really has given me the ability to stay on my program. I don't find myself making a pound of pasta 1:30am covered in some sort of cheese. That is always helpful. :)

    June 20th of what year? :huh:

    No beer or wine last night with dinner, didn't miss it :-) Day two today!

    Same here (wine), day 2, which is a pretty big deal considering how much I've been drinking lately. I already have my first drink day marked on my calendar, lol!

    I just downloaded the my fitness pal app a few days ago (which has helped me be more mindful of what I'm ingesting), but I stopped drinking mid-June of this year.... along with smaller portions and exercise I have lost 20 lbs! Keep it up, it pays off :)

    Well, maybe I should just go for the whole cutting back to just an occasional drink here and there, cause my willpower sucked last night! Got home after a super long and tiring day and simply said to hell with it......had most of a lite beer and feel a little guilty, but not off the charts guilty.
    I have found over the past several weeks that I can do without the buzz from alcohol, but, like chocolate, sometimes it just tastes good. So, I'm riding the fence here.....from a health standpoint, a woman can safely have one drink per day and men can have two without huge detrimental health effects. I think the problem comes when one turns into six which I've never had a huge problem with. Any thoughts out there?

    I started this a week ago I have am 11 days in and I kinda feel better for it. I don't drink a lot but with it being summer every weekend I am drinking Friday and Saturday and I felt like it was effecting my energy. Also I binge eat while drinking and the day after I do the same. So I decide to quit for a bit I still have fun without it but man Sommerby's are sooooo gooooddd

    That's my downfall as well, after 4 pints the munchies start and I can eat a fair amount!.

    2 pints for me is a happy medium.

    Anyway, 3rd dry night for me; just had a cup of tea instead..

    Im in. I have occasional wine on my cheat meal on Saturdays. Alcohol was my problem initially....two weeks shouldn't be that bad.

    Good luck everyone!

    Tomorrow will be 14 days for me. I really have no desire to drink. I am sure once labor day weekend comes I might be ready to have something haha. I cant say im going to quit drinking all together but I am really going to try to reduce how often I drink and the amount I drink.
