Ok, I like to have a few glasses or more sometimes at home on the weekends..I think this is why I can't lose the last 5 lbs. What is the least calorie alcohol of all? More bang for your buck type thing..I meant weight not eight

    Well, you can do a light beer for 50-60 calories, but yuck. I'd rather "splurge" the 120 calories on a glass of wine or the 160ish for a good stout. You could mix hard liquor (I think around 100 calories an oz.) with soda water or diet soda.

    You can drink wine and lose weight, just make sure it fits your caloric intake for the day.

    That is definitely not why you are not losing the last 5 pounds. If you are not losing, you are likely not at a caloric deficit. If you want the wine, just compensate by eating fewer calories from food, or exercise more. Good luck!

    I drink rye and diet ginerale or rum and diet coke, or vodka soda, most of them are 45-65 calories for a drink, my big problem is that after 3-4 drinks I can't control my munchies, my snacking calories do worse damage than the booze lol
    best wishes!

    Yes, my problem too.. I get a sudden urge of confidence like it's not going to affect me and I don't think about it..I actually think that is the reason..not the wine!

    before I got pregnant I actually had my claories cut by 200 a day sunday to Thursday so that Friday and Saturday I would have some spare calories to enjoy with my hubby, we are boring people, drink a bottle of wine, eat a bag of chips and watch a movie lol
