    See, I have this love for liquor that won't allow me to say anything bad on its behalf. Drink up buddy. It should be enjoyed without remorse.
    TYVM Phil.
    To the poster, of course not...I still drink(though not as often) but when I do, I DRINK! Before I found this site, I was gaining on a regular basis and now that I'm not, I have no complaints. I usually count what I drink to fit my calorie goals or just work it off or something, but it's nothing to be afraid of. I have to live a normal life during this journey which is also lifelong and I don't believe in depriving myself of what I want...everything in moderation is what I say...except alcohol of course!!!lol Drink up dude and enjoy...work it off later and keep counting!:drinker: :drinker: :drinker:

    I have a drink or two almost every day and I simply log them like anything else I eat that has calories. I don't advocate fasting the day of an anticipated bender, but I do support the idea of exercising off a chunk of calories that day to make room for the booze that night. ;)

    Whoa no kidding?? LOL Most people I talk to think it's the worst but my inner Grunge child thinks it's still the best to drink at concerts/venues. :D I heart you so much right now, running off to friend!

    Lowest calorie drinks I've discovered yet is vodka with either Crystal Light or if you're cheap like me, Great Value Lemonade drink mix which is 5cals per 8oz. 1-1 1/2 shots to 4oz with some ice in the blender will set it off...if you do it about 4 times...just make sure it's in the cal budget....1shot of vodka is about 55 cals, y'all can do the math!:drinker: :smokin: :glasses:Makes for a really nice day...post-workout, of course!

    I drink Vodka and Diet tonic or Michelob Ultra which is like 95 calories (too lazy to google it) and those are not bad at all in moderation. Also a good workout the morning after will sweat the hangover out and if you are too sick to eat that's good (kidding).

    Me too, and I've gone from 126 to 104/105. I got the crazy idea that I should stop drinking until I reached my goal weight/body fat percentage, but that only lasted about a week. No, I'm not an alcoholic, but wine is one of my biggest pleasures and giving it up made me sad. I just log the calories and eat less. Problem solved. :wink:

    I found the couple of times that I have drunk (even with limiting my calorie intake to compensate) that I am heavier the next day due to bloating. I seem to lose it the next couple of days by eating properly but I put on at least 5 - 8 pounds so don't be too freaked out...it's only temporary...but you need to be careful with your calories afterwards!

    Alcohol does not support weight-loss. Two reasons. It slows the fat burning process and adds empty calories. Alcohol is a concentrated source of calories. It has 7 calories per gram. Only fat has more calories per gram than alcohol – 9 per gram. So alcohol will be a deviation from your road to weight-loss objective.

    When I started my weight-loss process that awarded me with 46 pounds victory I was 100% in compliance with the rules and did not take a glass of wine during the first few months.

    We all need a treat from time to time. I love red wine and sometimes take a break from healthy eating.

    Choices we make …

    I always try to fit the alcohol into my calories and then fit in a workout the morning after drinking.

    well you obviously didnt drink enough the night before since you have no hangover and can go work out :) im teasing.



    haha-- I was thinking the same thing!!! I hear ya I can drink like a "sailor" but... I just don't eat my exercise calories during the whole week so I have some "saved" up....

    Have fun!! As I sit next to the bonfire drinking my beer I'll toast to LIFESYTLE Change..lol

    I drink every weekend.. I get either rum & diet coke or jack & diet coke. Martini's aren't too bad either. Light beer, shots are another good choice.

    Haha, well, benders / binges are pretty rare for me these days. I had my times in my 20s, for sure... but now it's more like a drink or three every night or two.
