In reality, wine calories could be the difference between losing and maintaining, if one has 150-250 calories of wine a night.0 -
Girl, I am with you.0

Eh, I'd rather walk/run 5k *and* have my wine...but I usually top-out at two glasses anyway. I've turned into a wine wuss, but I'm good with that.0

It is very hard for me to have just one glass of wine, so until I lose 10 lbs, no more wine. Are there any other "winos" out there?
I with you on this, except with me it's beer. I generally at least have a 6-pack if I have one. Not to mention it seems to be a trigger for me to eat more.0 -

I love my wine but I have not had a drop for 4 weeks. I'm not having any refined sugar either but that's a whole other story. I agree it's difficult to have just one glass, it's just so yummy and for me it leads to more snacking or chocolate. Cutting out the wine & sugar has helped me I've been loosing a steady this past month.
My replacement drink has been sparkling water with lime or blood orange in a wine glass to make it more fun Also, with all the money I'm saving I'll have more to spend on new clothes!0 -
I love my wine as well as other spirits. I don't plan on giving them up for now.
This has become a big problem for me. We have a bar in our house and like you, I love my wine and spirits. A beer gut on a female is not sexy though. I'm definitely having to take a step back and look at my priorities. My alcohol intake definitely contributes to my weight gain. :-(

It's not so much the wine as the alcohol munchies. And I do like my alcohol a bit too much lately, so I've banished it for a month or three. Don't want to become a lush!0 -
I have seriously cut back on my wine, due to the fact that I can't have just 1 glass either. And my ability to eat like I've never seen food once the first bottle is down lol. If I want a glass of wine, I'll put a low calorie drink in a wine glass and pretend, it makes me feel better0

My problem is...my particular wine is local, very unique and very sweet. No idea how many calories a glass is. I could have 400 calories with 2 glasses for all I know...and I like to have at least 3 glasses!0

If that's really the issue then the OP has another row to hoe - however her intent was to give up wine until she dropped 10lbs. As another poster pointed out - how will she learn to incorporate wine into her daily life if she doesn't do it while in a defecit?

Me too.
I've given it up for now and it's nice to have that extra money in the bank. Once I'm close to goal I'll incorporate it, but I think I'll stick with having it occasionally instead of frequently.0 -
I just finished up with a bulk and getting serious now about my cut...I've been a bit negligent for about a month and it's time to get on with things. I'm not giving up my alcohol entirely, but I'm definitely cutting way back from what I can drink in maintenance. It's a really easy (but kind of boring) way to cut calories out.
I will have the occasional glass of wine and a few drinks on the weekends and that's about it...also, swearing off all beer until I complete my cut.0 -
It's interesting...everyone has their vices. For me it's wine...for my neighbor who does bootcamp with me, it's ice cream. Seriously, she has a bowl every night and doesn't care a thing about wine. I on the other hand have not had icecream in years! We're all different.0

me too...and beer. love beer!0

I have an incredibly hard time having just one beer so I've gone dry Monday through Thursday. On Fridays, Saturdays, and occasionally Sundays all bets are off. I budget to allow the calories but inevitably go over by a few hundred.
I've been losing weight so I'm ok with this plan.0 -
I drink beer, will never give it up. I drink once a week enough beers to catch a buzz is a must. Usually about 4-5 light beers. Once a week won't make that much of a difference.0
