I realise that everyone says that drinking wine is a no no if you're dieting, but I'm 21 and it seems a little impossible. If I save enough calories over for a couple of glasses, will it affect my weight loss?

Thanks,

Sarah.

    as long as you're not drinking every day, you should be able to have a couple of cocktails here and there. when i lost my weight before, i never had issues with drinking and losing weight. just make sure not to over do it!

    I personally don't think so, as long as it is in moderation. If you don't go over your calories for the day you are in good shape. I always have a "reward day" where I sometimes let myself indulge a little, ususally on Sat or Sun, where I have a few drinks. Also, if you workout a little extra you can earn yourself some bonus calories for the day :smile:

    Thanks girls, that's helped. It's definately not everyday, and I was thinking about maybe making sunday a reward day.

    Cheers :happy:

    I enjoy my glass of wine and I just add it into my calorie intake....

    I agree... just count the calories.
    I have a beer a day, and it's only about 150 calories. The trick is limiting yourself to just one and not getting carried away.
