    I'm drinking a Bacardi and diet... its 0 calories right? At least that is what I've heard.

    I know its bad for my metabolism though, but, oh so good.

    The diet coke is zero calories, but any alcohol is not. A lot of alcohols come in around 50-70 calories per shot.

    OK - so we are throwing a party...a big one! We eloped back in June and this is our celebration with all of our friends and family. I mean FUN FUN FUN! We got a giant water slide, a sno kone machine, sprinklers, yard games, music, a big tent...pulled pork and grilled chicken, mac salad, coleslaw, beans, spring mix salad...decorate your own cupcake table, cold watermelon....
    and of course beer and wine. I kinda worried I will blow it on the booze. I calculated breakfast and lunch for that day, and a 30 minute cardio work out in the am, and am left with 1600 cals for dinner and drinking. The beer is 177 cals and 14 carbs...so my current plan is to do white wine spritzers and alternate with water until sundown....and then have a couple of beers...hubby says that even if I go over the calories for the day, it is one day in 30, so to just chill...
    EXcited for the festivities :)

    Monday = 0
    Tuesday = 0
    Wednesday, 3.5 ish...12 oz of Stella, 20 oz of Newcastle, 12 oz of Sam Adams
    Thursday = 0
    Friday = 0, I work from 3 to 11 and will probably not indulge. I guess it depends what kind of day I have at work. *fingers crossed*

    I am trying to be very, very disciplined this week. *adjusts halo*

    I see lots of 0's this week, awesome job Lushes! I've got all 0's so far this week too but it IS Friday. I set myself a weight loss goal and I'm hoping to make it so I really can't afford to drink for the next 10 days. I want to be down to 150 by my anniversary on the 25th. My body is being stubborn though so I'm gonna need to be very disaplined.

    Bah! Most of the days I go over its because of alcohol! I try to not drink at all, but when I go out I tend to have 3 + glasses of whatever. Hopefully having a majority of good days will make up for the 1 or 2 bad days a week...

    I'm thinking next week I need to start tracking some 0-1 numbers. I kill my diet each week with wine. Starting Monday!

    TGIF! I had a marg last night and another psuedo-marg I made with tequila, lime juice and club soda.
    Tomorrow is Vegas, and I plan to have a good time and get back on track next week!
    Have a great weekend, lushes!

    Hello,
    I am new to my fittness, and I am looking for moral support! I am 26 years old, and I love booze! I have drastically cut down what I drink. I used to be in the pub 4 nights out of 5 after work, plus weekends. I have recently come to realise I am drastically overweight, something I suppose I should have spotted earlier...! I am 16stone 9lbs, and 5ft10. I have tried losing weight before, and went from 17stone 3lbs, down to 16stone. But I gradually slipped and went back up to 16stone 9lbs. My main bad habit is my boozing (and bread!) I have started to walk, to get some exercise, as I never used to do any before, and this week I have clocked up 10 miles....is that good?! Anyway, I am rambling. I am here to see what like minded lushes would do in my position. I recently completed my 1st year at college, and I want to go out and celebrate. My only problem is, I am allergic to vodka and drinks with colourings in. I mainly drink lager, Fosters, Warsteiner, Stella. I would usually drink about 8 or 10 PINTS!!! What can I swap to for??? Lager is the only drink I found that doesnt react with my skin :-(
    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

    Welcome to all the newbies!!

    Congrats MrsJax! :heart: Since it's a special occasion, I, personally, wouldn't worry about the calories and whatnot...just enjoy yourself! Then, the next day, get back on track.

    Kat, I hope you're doing okay. :heart:

    Hi Steph! So it looks like you're walking around 2 miles a day? That's a great start! You could try to incorporate some running, or up your walking speed, or even keep increasing your distance. Just getting up and moving is wonderful. As far as the alcohol goes...can you do rum? I'm a vodka girl, so I'm not much help, I'm afraid. If lager ends up truly being the only thing you can drink, I'm afraid that cutting back might be what you need to do. But, many of us lushes have found that A.) the more weight we lose and B.) the more we cut back, it doesn't take as much to get us feeling "happy", so it's a win-win situation all around!:drinker:


    Monday=1
    Tuesday=0
    Wednesday=3
    Thursday=0
    Friday=0 Most likely, anyway...

    The knee surgery went well but I'm probably going to need another one before too long. Apparently I sheared off all my cartilage in my knee the last time I played soccer and I'm bone on bone in a few places. I'm on Percocet and I don't like drinking while I'm on it...it makes me itchy. :laugh:
