    I'm in! I've been trying to cut back on my wine intake and a 30 day challenge would be perfect.

    So-last night wasn't a good night :( I ended up buckling and having a glass of wine after work. I'm ticked at myself because it put me over my daily calorie goal, but today I'm going to work harder! & back to the challenge! :)

    I gave up alcohol for 30 days, along with flour, sugar and processed foods. I lost 12 lbs in that month. I was disappointed because I thought I would lose more! I mean if I'm going to give up all the good stuff I want to be super skinny!!! Anyway, now I only drink on the weekends and it's usually crown and diet coke. I count it...but have gone over my calorie goal a couple times because of it. I'll keep plugging on but summer time is hard to give it up altogether for me. Everything in moderation.... I like the exercising in the evening idea. Maybe that will help me not partake during the week.

    So-I didn't realize how much I look forward to my wine in the evening. Last night my daughter and I went to the gym & had an awesome workout & then we went and wandered around the beach looking for cool pictures to take. (she's in a summer photography class) As long as I was busy-wine didn't even cross my mind, but as soon as I got home I wanted a glass! (I was even thinking of it as a treat for being so well behaved! lol!) Good thing I didn't have any in the house. I guess that's gonna have to be number 1. Don't keep any in the house for the rest of the challenge. & I'm thinking some sort of other treat-maybe even ginger ale in a wine glass to trick myself. :)
    Good luck to everyone! & Congrats to everyone who's done good so far! This is a lot harder than I thought it would be

    Hi I am doing dry July because my husband and I were drinking at least half a bottle to a bottle each a night 3 -4 times a week. I have cut it out and finally shifters 2-3 pounds....

    I am 39 and had no idea how hard it is to shift weight as you get older.:-(

    I'm a recovering alcoholic, and I'm in on any challenge that involves not imbibing. Alcohol has lots of empty calories and it puts weight on me fast.

    I've managed to ditch the wine Sunday to Thursday but as I've just had carrot sticks and a bottle of wine for my tea I guess I'd better not sign up :-)

    From January to the end of May I lost about 18# - and still drank a glass or two of wine almost every night - I tried to up my exercise (ate back the cals), ate pretty light during the day- and a normal - but reasonable dinner. I just figured it in and planned for it -


    Edited - oops - I misread - I thought you said "any success WITHOUT cutting out wine" - Sorry - I just don't think I could do it.

    The longest I've been able to do it is14 days. I had to trick myself by putting other things such as sparkling water in my wine glass. Sometimes I think I just like to hold the glass! I want to be able to eat healthy but include a glass or 2 per day.
