    Last night had 3 vodka, this weekend is looking good for me.. not seeing boyfriend. When I see him I loose all control over my drinking... Maybe it is because he drinks...

    So excited to see this group! I'm a wine drinker working on loosing 20 pounds before my big "40" birthday in January! I've lost 8 over the last month, but hit a wall this week with both diet and exercise. A running friend suggested this website so here I am to be held accountable and to not feel so bad about my wine calories and maybe get ideas to help curtail my urge for the bulbus glass of wine...lol

    As much as I love my beer and wine, I have been trying to cut back a bit. Had a rough couple weeks and probably over induldged. That being said I have gone over a week with no drinking and have decided today I'm going to celebrate a new success with a lovely bottle of wine. I'm an artist and a store just signed me on to sell my work in their store!! I'm super excited so I think a bottle of wine is well deserved (just need to make sure I work out today so I have enough calories lol).

    So I thought I was going to be good last night. I was planning on eating a turkey burger - had enough calories for it, but my wonderful boyfriend bought steaks. MMMMM with blue cheese and an artichoke (with mayonaise of course....) which would have been OK, except I had a wonderful bottle of wine that went perfectly with the meal........
    So I ended the day 1000 cal Over.
    But it was soooo yummy
    My question to you guys is how many calories do you average a day (including booze :smile: ) ?
    Are you losing weight?
    Thanks!!! Oh and TGIF :drinker:

    I average around 1500 calories. Sometimes more. I am still loosing weight. I weighed the least this morning which is due to dehydration but it was great to see that number on the scale. Cheers!:drinker:

    I think I hit 1,900 yesterday, and that included 1.5 beers and 1.5 shots. I just have to make sure I stay within calories. I know tonight is the beginning of my Fall Break, so we'll probably get stupid. Therefore, my hubs and I will probably take a 60 minute bike ride, which will burn about 440 calories.

    Around 1400-1500 with booze. I like to zigzag my calories because my body tends to get into ruts if I eat and exercise the same way every day (which I was doing for quite some time). so some days I will go quite a bit over...some under.
    If I'm going really hard core and want to drop weight quick (before a vacay like I did just recently) I will go for 1200.

    Friends, I have tasted Heaven and it is Shock Top Pumpkin (I'm sure any pumpkin will do...) with a shot of vanilla vodka poured in...with a cinnamon and sugared rim.

    You can thank me later. :drinker:
    Really? I think some friends left a Blue Moon Pumpkin at my house, but I don't have the vanilla vodka. I have never put vodka in beer, but I am intrigued. Maybe they will make me one at the bar this weekend! Bowling and BBQ for belated bday for DH.

    I don't do flavored vodkas. I don't do flavored coffee either. I'm not into sweet drinks.
    give it to me strong. :glasses:

    Robin I have the salt craving too! I just had 2 shrimp tacos. that' should help satisfy that, I'd think.
