I've gone tuesday-friday with no drinks, got my eye on a glass of wine or 2 tomorrow night though, just so I can toast Robin and her new job of course! :bigsmile: :drinker:0

Wow...I've totally found my group! It's comforting to know that I'm not the only one struggling with losing pounds while still being able to indulge in a refreshing beverage every now and again (or every night).
My drink of choice is rum and coke...well make that Pepsi. And I just absolutely cannot make myself drink diet soda. In fact, I never drink any kind of soft drink except when I'm drinking.
I'd like to change to wine, but there are only a few that I like and when faced with a choice, I will always choose rum.
So what's a girl to do? I've decided I need to choose abstinence (except for maybe one or two days per week), just like most of the rest of you. I guess great minds think alike.
Thanks to whomever thought of starting this group!0 -
Thursday=0 drinks
Not sure about tonight.
I was reading that to drink less you should drink something you don't like! doesn't that seem like such a waste of calories? I don't know, maybe it's worth trying!0 -
after about a 12 pack of blue moons on new years eve.. i have only had two drinks since.. one bloody mary on Jan 1st. and one glass of wine last night..
I can give up drinking.. but when i do drink i go all out.. why is this ? other people have this issue? or i feel down in the dumps if im not drinking with friends.. its like im not fun.. ya know.. then i get the peer pressure.0 -
Have been VEERRRY GOOD. ~ 4 drinks per week for 6 weeks.
MAJOR FAIL: Tonite, 4 British pints of my favorite beer doubled my calorie goal.
'Tis a journey.0 -
Yay! Two weeks and no drinks. Previously unheard of. Very pleased.0
-
Oy.
6 drinks last night. Skinny B!tches made with clementine vodka with 1/2 a lime and 1/2 a lemon. Good, but deadly and 2 of the 6 drinks were shots. (Oh, and restrained myself to only 2 pieces of pizza.)
Yeah, I'm not logging it. :laugh:0 -
Hi all can I join you?
After a long NYE weekend of drinking, my hubby and I have decided to avoid alcohol as much as possible. The goal is not to drink until March (when we're going to Budapest - Christmas present - thank you darling hubby!!)
So far I've survived one whole weekend and a Friday night - usually the worst night, glass of sauvignon blanc after a hard week is sooooooo tempting...
But tinight I'm going to a pub quiz with some friends. I had planned to drive, so I never had any excuse to drink.
But now one of the other girls (who is pregnant) has said she will drive and I know sitting in the pub with the others drinking I will be tempted. I've also gone out with hubby for a big lunch so my calories are pretty much used up already.
But I'm hoping by saying this in writing I'm going to be able to resist temptation!!0 -
Have cut back on drinking to twice a week. Tonight is my night to tear it up! Wish me fun my fellow lushes. :drinker:0

I concur....
Yesterday 3 vodka tonics and 2 small glasses of wine...
Total drinks for the week: 13
Goal: Less than 13 for the week...day one is tonight0 -
Got my bottle of wine open to toast Robin's new job. :drinker:
Well done to those of you who are meeting your goals to cut down or give up. For those of you drinking enjoy your weekend :happy:0 -
Not too bad for a Friday night. 2/3 of a bottle of Kenjall Jackson chardonnay and 2 ounces (yep, I measured it. ) of vodka. I plan on wine - ing it up the rest of the weekend and DH went to Trader Joe's and came home with tons of yummy cheeses. How can I possibly say no to wine, cheese and football?
I hope the drinking lushes are enjoying themselves this weekendand congrats to those of you who seem to have so much more control than I can muster.
Monday is a new week.0 -

Thank you! We are indeed enjoying ourselves: Made some homemade hummus with flatbread and champagne cocktails, (I use flavored Sobe water Zero to jazz up the champagne!)0 -
Alcohol has had a hand in my weight gain, too. I've already cut down, and I am planning on drinking shots instead of wine and beer. Lol! Hey, less calories, right? :-)0

Woke up this morning with a sore head after a rather lightweight 3 glasses of wine last night. Made it to the gym and felt a bit better after working out and drinking lots of electrolyte drink. Got a sore throat now and really hope it's not going to lead to anything worse. :sick:0

I had beers Friday, two Stella and then two Miller Lites. Saturday celebrated a late Christmas with the in-laws and had a glass of wine and a coors lite. Then home and had friends over for dinner, drank tequila with lime and beer. Then to a concert, drank four more Bud lights there.
Today I had a mimosa, going to make it hard to work out. Going to Vegas on Thursday, though, so I want to be good till then, working out, eating well, not drinking...but this bottle of champagne needs to be finished!0
