I logged in yesterday to find that the few beers I had over dinner with some of my old school buddies put me seriously over my calorie count for the first time (the chicken wings didn't help either). The worst part was that the little weight calculator on the bottom on the screen actually told me that if I ate like that every day I'd weight 3 lbs MORE than I do right now in five weeks! Yikes! I guess I need to break off my long and wonderful relationship with beer :(
Good bye beer....

    I too have said "bye-bye beer" for the most part. If I do however want a drink, I've been sticking to vodka and soda water with lime. Soda water is zero calories, sugars, carbs, and sodium. If I HAVE to have a drink, that's what it is, just the calories of the vodka, which is waaayyyy less then beer

    That little calculator gave me a similar wake up call about a week ago! I think that does more to keep me in line than anything else.

    Haven't had a beer in 2010. Do like JD or Port with a cigar in the evenings.

    Going to give up all alcohol now, though. Had a great weekend for loss and when I try to evaluate why, I realize it's that I didn't drink.
