I think one day a week is a good plan. I used to drink every night and now it's probably less than one day a week.


This is a good opportunity to explore other things you can do with your husband after the kids are in bed that's even more relaxing. See how many calories to add for sex topic.

Sometimes I'd rather have the stiff drink instead of the stiff hubby.

LMAO....that was a good one!

I'm a college student so ... that being said I drink quite a bit. I was a freshman last year and gained the freshman 25 ... mainly from that Natty Light and Milwaukees Best Light. This year I have been doing so much better for 2 reasons ...

1. I realized that I don't really like either of those beers ... lol.
2. I actually have work to do.

I typically drink 1-2 nights a week now. Last night I went a little overboard ... well a lot overboard so when I do that I try to take it easy the other day or two I go out. My other problem is I get the munchies when I drink and every pizza place is open in State College till 3am... doesn't help at all.

I'll have a glass of wine when we go out to a nice dinner. At home, I put Baily's in my coffee sometimes. But alas - I am taking a blood thinner for 3-6 months to treat a blood clot, so I was told by the doc NO booze whatsoever. Kinda a bummer, but I'm managing.

Maybe next time you do have a nightcap, raise a glass for your poor MFP who can't have one right now. And when I get my "clean bill of health", I'll raise one for my awesome, supportive MFP friends!

But seriously, once you find the right limit for you, we're all behind you!!!

Like you, I have to limit it to one night a week, and even then, I have to further limit to no more than 2-3 ounces. :grumble:

Unlike you, I'm finding that I've been dangling here at 158.5lbs for going on 3 weeks now, and it's making me crazy. The drinking or failure to drink doesn't seem to matter a jot. I just have to wait for something to give.

Uggh... someone else feels my pain I have been hovering over -154-156 for a month or so... uggh and nothing changes it.

I do find that alcohol will put a hold on any movement and possibly upwards so I try to drink very moderately. One drink maybe once a week. I know, no more partying!! No true just have to weight consequences.

I'm a booze hound! When I'm not dieting, I'll drink 1-2 glasses of wine or a couple vodka-fresca's 3-4 times a week. However, drinking makes my weight loss plateau, so I've cut back to 2 drinks on Saturday only. (Until I get stressed out at work again, I'm sure). When I drink, I find that the following day I am less able to keep my food intake on track. I think that alcohol makes my blood sugar spike, so the next day my body is all out of whack and I crave greasy or sugary foods.
