I love my vodka outings way too much to give them up...the sad part is that my vodka calorie count is wayyy higher than my meals ... lol I wonder how much weight I wouldve lost by now ...had i decided to give my alchohal weekends a break....But I know it wont happen :laugh: so I'll just keep wondering and enjoy my tipsyness and good times :bigsmile: and yikes... 490 in cals on vodka alone! :noway:

    how much do you drink!? vodka's only 60-70 cals a shot! I drink with diet coke to cut cals and my sister drinks what she calls a 'skinny *****'. Its just 1 shot of vodka in 8 oz water with a little lemon juice. sounds nasty to me but she loves them!

    I agree, the vodka calories add up waaaay too quickly!! when I make a mixed drink I use 2 ounces. Any less than that and I just wouldn't taste the vodka! I will easily have 2-3 drinks on a friday or saturday night, and viola! There is 420 calories I don't need!

    I'm not a beer drinker either, but in the summer I do enjoy a frosty cold one from time to time. I just tried a Bud Select 55 and it was surprisingly good! I'm actually now thinking of switching from wine & vodka to just that, since it's lower in calories than anything else!

    hmm, notice how I said "switching" alcohol, not "eliminating" alcohol? Haha, oh well! You only live once!

    Got to have me my beer. My husband was a brewer and I developed a taste for a well made beer. Since I have no plans on giving them up, just don't drink that often or much I don't worry about it. After all, this is my life plan. Good beer is made with grains and natural hops and sugars and yeast. Can't be that bad for you if you don't drink it often or too much.

    Are you losing weight? Do you want to lose weight? If you answer yes to those questions... what's the problem. If you answer no to either one of them you may want to re-evaluate.

    I haven't drank since the Biggest Loser contest started at work... I will be going on two TDY's (temporary mission, like a vacation with work).

    Its the same concept as being the DD at a frat house party... sad. I am just going to go to the gym. A lot. Or forego food for a drunken night of debauchery:laugh: (Note: I am kidding... I think)
