    I love wine but I'm very good about just having one measured glass and logging the calories, though I haven't had any wine since I got home from vacation last month.

    I'm a beer drinker. As a matter of fact I drank so much of it Friday night I had to count bottle caps the next morning in order to log it...don't even remember going to bed that night. :s

    What's funny was once I cut out weeknight beer I was left with a (mostly) healthy diet. I've altered my portions but it's obvious my weight gain was primarily a result of beer. It's laughable, really. I might as well been eating seven donuts every night.

    Huh. Minimum 24-36oz beer daily - wonder how that happened..............

    Some people would rather skip the booze temporarily and lose the weight faster. Some don't have the TDEE for 2-3 drinks a night (most non-obese women) during weight loss or the interest in just one.

    Your way is fine. Others' ways are fine. To each his own.

    I'm not so much a wino, but I do like some on occasion. I prefer sparkly things like Prosecco and Moscato d'Asti...and once you open those, you kind of have to drink the whole thing.

    Lately I've been doing social dancing at a place that is a wine bar. That is PERFECT. I can have one glass of something good and stop there without worrying about the rest of the bottle going to waste.

    I understand your pain! I have one cheat day every week but I only have wine once every three weeks because I also cant do just one glass of wine. It usually ends up like a bottle...or a little more. Haha

    LOL...it's not goodbye forever...just until I kick start some weight loss. Wine and I are lifelong friends...

    If it fits, drink it. I lost 11lbs in 2 months drinking 3-4 times a week.

    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 better ;)

    I too love my glass of wine at night. Lately it is hard to have just 1. I am sure I would be close to my target if I cut out the 190 calories.

    I was the biggest wino red wine and cheese in the night sometimes a bottle or more I just love it! After stopping drinking it (because one glass leads to a bottle) I eat much less calories the week before valentines day so I could drink lots of red wine and eat everything ;) but watch out I would never get drunk before after one prosseco and half a glass of wine I was so drunk!!! I never really got drunk before this so this was very embarrassing haha my boyfriend has never let me forget it and now I am scared to drink!!! Haha anyone else experienced this? :)

    who says you have to give up wine? I have 2 glasses a night... however, I choose to mix my wine with a tall glass of diet sierra mist. that 4 oz glass becomes 24 ounces. Sometimes I have a glass of beer instead (no, I do not mix it with diet sierra mist!). I just make sure that I have logged it all. Must be working as I have officially lost one whole me.

    Amazing how quick you lose when you banish wine, beer, and other alcohol. And feel better, in addition to the money!
