I used to drink 1200 calories!!

sarahcs424

I just thought about how much soda I used to drink and oh man lol. I drank 1200 or more calories a day!

I can easily put away 3000 calories in beer on a good (or bad, depending on which forum I'm on) weekend. God, I love beer.

Yeah I did that with coffee or chai tea...and italian sodas. I couldn't believe how many calories I was drinking!

Luckily for me, I hate fizzy drinks in all their forms, my 1200 calories would come in red wine, but 1200 cals would be quite a few glasses, even for me! Lol!

Yes! My wife and I are the same way. I told her (jokingly of course) that the only reason I eat well and exercise during the week is so I can drink all the beer I want on the weekend.

It's amazing what just switching from pop to water can do!

Eventually (when I'm in a good maintenance place) I will have a fair amount of exercise solely for the purpose of cancelling out beer calories. There is nothing more amazing in this world than going for a hike in the morning, and then having beers and mexican food for lunch. It's gonna have to be one helluva hike.

I realized that for breakfast i used to eat 716-900 calories everyday!

I love a cold beer on a hot day or a nice fine red wine or bubbly with a meal! I was so surprised at the caloric content. Taking a hiatus from both until I reach a steady rate of success here! It was obviously a major contributing factor to my gain along with lack of exercise!

Same here! I am overweight primarily due to beer :grumble: Now I run so that I can drink beer

jenny_fur

I could drink that in wine :drinker: in one night. BUT.. have been limiting it to half that and only on Friday & Sat... (22 hrs & counting! :laugh: )

Its amazing how bad your diet was before this site huh? I used to do salads a lot when we went out to eat. Yet, I still couldn't lose weight. I never knew a SALAD, a freaking salad! could have so many calories. Plus, sodas are killer when you drink 3 a day. I finally stopped that and only drink water with flavoring. It taste better anyways.

Good God, it's like you're my long lost sister! lol

Tried to drink that many last night, but what a great night Band Hero never sounded so good.

I don't do soda too much at all, especially not anymore, but I can definitely pack away the calories when it comes to alcohol....

Since joining MFP i've come to realize I drink an extreme amount of tea... thankfully it does much less damage than my previous soda dependance and costs me both less calories & less dollars at the store.

It's scary isn't it!

On the alcohol note- I went to a music festival last wknd and drank over 1000 cals of alcohol and I wasn't even that drunk! Such a waste!
