Has anyone given up drinking entirely as a piece of their weight loss/life change/transformation process? I'm ready to say bye to it and curious others' successes and challenges... thanks!

    My problem is I either drink or eat but not both because too many calories. I drink a lot though. Not good. I'm probably going tohell.

    Lol...

    I wish there was a low calorie/carb wine... drinking is my Achilles heel too. This app is always an eye opener when you see how many calories alcohol has

    I can always give it up first thing in the morning but at 6:00 PM I break down. I run to make room for my drinking. Good luck, I should probably join you.

    I am so right there w you all!! 6pm is a hellish hour! Yeah but it's gotta go for me. Realizing I put so much effort into get in better health/shape/size and blow it wayyy to often (nightly?). Not good... Of course quitting will come w other challenges I'm sure so just looking to anticipate those and focus on why this is the right decision. Yup, long as I can survive 6p then I'm golden lol! And if I start to see more definition all the better!

    I quit drinking, smoking, and eating like a slob all within a couple months of each other. Feels good. Do it!

    I stopped drinking a few years ago because it gives me a migraine while I'm still finishing my first drink. I'm everyone's designated driver :) I had to stop drinking all the virgin daiquiris on my vacations though; tons of sugar/carbs/calories. Now I stick to water and diet soda. Total teetotaler.

    What I am doing is putting flavored seltzer, cranberry-lime for example with about 2 tablespoons of cranberry juice with ice in a wine glass, gives my brain the feeling I'm drinking wine as I sip from the wine glass with seltzer.

    I still partake on weekends, but I don't drink during the week.

    I exercise to fit my wine in. Non-negotiable.

    I seldom have room in my daily calories for any alcohol. I may have a glass of wine every few weeks with a special dinner.

    I love having a drink or two, but I rarely have room in my calorie budget. I prefer to spend any extra on cookies and ice cream.

    No. I'm not for cutting off things I enjoy. Nothing wrong with having what you want in life.
