    It wasn't until I signed up that I realized how many calories are in my beloved beverages of beer/wine. This week I've been good about my alcohol intake (none so far!) so my future goal is if I work out, and don't go over my caloric limit, then I will treat myself to a glass of red wine! I will not torture myself with cutting myself off completely, otherwise this weight loss goal will not happen.

    I'm attending a dry wedding in a month or so...do I consider it a blessing in disguise or do I go with my preweight watching plan and pack a flask?

    wooo i love this thrread! i've been off drink since new year (also bread, pasta and crisps) and so far have stuck to it. i have a 5k run on Feb 5th and can't wait until i can have a pint and pizza after!! yayyyyy!!

    overall it hasn't been too bad stayiing off the booze - i've had lots of non-alcoholic cocktails and had 3 non alcoholic becks last so i still feel like i'm having somethin 'nice'. also i've been making some drinks from Jamie Oliver's 30 minute meals like the strawberry slushy and pomegranite drink which are so delicious that you don't even miss the alchol!

    love this thread!!

    I make sure I save calories on my food plan for a glass of white wine in the evening. I loves me a glass of wine! But I very carefully measure out exactly 5 ounces in a measuring cup before I pour it in the wine glass. (Wine glass sizes can be deceiving.) It looks weird, but it works for me.

    I've been lurking on this thread for a while. It's hard not to have a glass of wine when I get home from work. I usually drink white and I put some fizzy water in it to make it stretch but I still probably have 3 glasses. Last night we went out with friends and I had a cocktail, then some wine and then we moved to a new place and I had two beers. We then ate dinner (at home) but now today I am up on the scale (which will go down when I drink my water and hit the gym) but man, it is annoying :)

    Open, damn irises, open!

    Holy carp! When I go...I go big! I "made up" a drink the other night...pomegranate vodka, lemon juice, and club soda. Tastes like Nestea instant tea. So, after my indoor soccer game last night, I had about 3 of those (double talls) and then, of course, we were watching Jersey Shore with the neighbors, so we did a shot of Tuaca every time Ronnie and Sami got into a fight. (Mini shots, like less than 1/2 oz.) Hubby ended up carrying me to bed around midnight. I did get up with the kids at 7:30, though. :ohwell:

    I've had a few good weeks and have stuck to my goals when it's come to not drinking on week nights, sooooo I do declare next week to be as lushy as I want it to be. If I fancy a glass of wine or 2 in the evenings then I will do. It's the last week before I start the next module on my degree and when I'm back to that I have to try to squeeze 16 hours of study a week into my evenings and weekends so I'm celebrating my last week of freedom for a while.

    I saved my calories so I could have a glass of wine that turned into two glasses of red wine. Then I stopped though I really wanted a third glass! :grumble:

    I cannot believe it, but I've actually been clean for four weeks now. And a day. It was really hard last night, though - went out to dinner with a friend, and was soooo close to ordering a glass of red wine with my pasta!

    But I didn't, and feel great about sticking with it now. Just two weeks to go now... I can't wait to have a glass of champagne at this formal party Feb. 19!!!

    Just one drink last night...a SF red bull and clementine vodka. Shooting for zero today, but I have a family dinner tonight with my entire family...my siblings drive me crazy, so I'll probably have a glass of wine.

    I did not drink Friday but I made up for it Saturday. I started with two beers while staining the fence, then we went to a house-warming and I think I had 6 beers and then came home and had a glass of red wine.
    Poor choice since today is my long run...

    So I am into my week of lushy freedom and guess what? First night in, an open bottle of white in the fridge and I don't fancy it!! I'm sure that's only because I could have it, if I was trying not to drink I would want it
