    If you don't drink anyway, why not instead of giving something you don't have, give up one of your own vices.

    I have looked up my schedule,
    August will be no shot august and in the last two weeks of Sept and 1st 2 weeks of October, I have no drinking obligations!
    That will clear me of 5,000 6,000 calories. Holy mother of god. No wonder my friend who had to stop drinking lost so much weight!
    Adding up 1 nights worth of calories seemed obnoxious, but over the course of a month? That's almost a 2 lb loss!

    I havent had anything with alcohol since I started my strict diet on 6/23/12. It's been super hard, especially when my hubby and friends are drinking on the weekend. But I just keep thinking that it will all be worth it in the end! All I drink is water, green tea, iced tea and maybe a zero calorie red bull every once in awhile!

    This means I have to make up for all the alcohol you guys aren't going to drink, right!? I wouldn't want it to feel unloved...

    Yes !! I accept your challenge :)
    I am working too hard right now to let alcohol ruin it for me, last 10 pounds are a b__ch ;)
    Not a big drinker, well I don't drink very often maybe once or twice a week, but it's usually a large enough amount when I do :/

    My friend had to stop drinking for health reasoning last winter. Feb/Jan 'ish??

    Anyway, he's lost at least 40lbs. But I will add, he probably drinks a LOT more than you do.

    Alcohol = 0

    ......I feel better already. I'm not working and it's the one month of summer here, so I was drinking a leetle bit too much there....This couldn't have come at a better time.

    Overcame my first mini-challenge today. I play social sports... and for anyone that doesn't know what that means, it means you get drunk and play "sports." Right now I'm in a *kitten* league and we had games tonight. I made it through a few hours and two bars and didn't drink. I even turned down the free chicken wings too... who knew I could do that!!!

    I totally think I can do this! The last bit of alcohol was at my future sister-in-law's bridal shower last week and it was a small celebratory shot- I hardly drink at all anymore! The Boyfriend tells me that since I work out 5 days a week, that means I can drink more alcohol! He also thinks that means I can go eat In N Out and chili cheese fries whenever, too. Lol!If I can give up diet soda, I can give up some alcohol- at least in the beginning, Ive done it before and it worked well, bet I will have the willpower to do so again.
