    Its important to realize that the biggest problem alcohol poses to weight loss isn't the calories, but is how it slows your metabolism. Studies have shown that as little as 2 oz of vodka slows your fat burn by 72 percent for several hours.

    Some of those recipes look really good! And I may try the *spritzer* trick tonight. Take a look at her first recipe closely though. She mis-typed add and instead it says .....*kitten* sliced peaches...... Thank you for the info and the giggle.

    Thanks for the link. Giving up alcohol has probably been one of the hardest things for me to give up since starting. I may have to give one of those cocktails a try, or atleast make one for the wife to see if she likes them.

    No guarantees for SuperBowl Sunday though w/ the alcohol!

    HAHA, when you '*kitten* slice' your peaches, you burn calories obviously :) Only unfit people slice them with their hands...BUNS OF STEEL!!!

    There is a sangria type recipe on there I think. :) ... The spritzer worked great! The funny thing was I was so busy watching all of the other drunkies at the party I didn't but have maybe two drinks, and munched on the tomato, basil mozzerella they had so I did good! :)
