    My husband and I are going a year we tend to binge drink when we do until our whole weekend is gone.

    I just rejoined fitness pal today after a long absence so I have already busted it for no drinking in January but as of now, I am in! Wine is my weakness but one glass leads to two and then the more I eat, the less active I become.

    What happens after January? Do you go back to drinking or is this something you plan on doing for life?

    I'll go back to drinking, but then it has never affected my weight loss as I don't drink that much - apart from this December when I drank waaaaaay too much!

    I'll join you too. I haven't gone a month without alcohol for at least 30 yrs, but a couple of hangovers from hell during the holidays have given me the motivation I need. Hoping to go into March without alcohol to help me achieve some much needed weight loss, using MFP to log all activity. Good luck all!

    I'm in! My husband and I have really overdone it with the booze lately so we've decided to have January off it for health & weight loss reasons. Day 4....still going strong but missing my red wine a bit!

    Three days late but I'm with you guys. I'd love to see where we all are at the end of the month.

    I'm like Marcie - I eat way too much when I drink. It's like drinking flips a nibbling switch or something and I start munching away... :o

    I will go back to drinking, but it's nice to have a break from it. I hope it also helps me cut back. Not that I drink a TON but same as someone posted above, one leads to two which leads to three which leads to bad food choices.
