Drink all the calories

Hey guys,

I want to lose weight and not become a crazy person. My goal is to lose about 15 lbs and fit into my clothes again. I'm going to work out and cut out the beer and eat mostly lean protein and vegetables. While still enjoying a glass of wine and vodka and whiskey, etc. this is extra difficult because I recently moved to nyc and am surrounded by temptation and rich ladies that can pay lots of money for personal trainers and cocaine.

I've already lost the 5 pounds I gained over Christmas! Hooray!

This is a little tricky for me because I do truly believe that all sizes of bodies are awesome, but I also want be able to fit into all my fabulous clothes. So I wanna get serious about weight loss but in a body positive way!

I'd love to make some like minded friends here on MFP! Feel free to add me.

    Thanks you made me choke on my tea. It's hard to avoid all the great restaurants but you can run all over Central Park for free to burn it off :-)

    Haha that's true!! I am a lucky duck though and have a gym I can use in my apartment building. I hate running outside, I am not a skilled runner. :)

    Oh trust me skill is not needed. Plus there's the distinct smell of horse poop on one trail that'll have ya increasing your speed in no time :wink:
