Think I'll have some vodka sodas tonight. A habit I'll never kick is soda, I don't have it regularly but I love it. It fills me up, I like the flavor and love the fizz. Found all natural soda at Whole Foods, I know that doesn't mean it's good for me but it makes me feel a little better about drinking it haha. Or since I have a good amount of calories left, I may use a grapefruit izzy for the mixer, we'll see!0

Ohh wow it is so nice to find fellow indulgers! Honestly, I think alcohol is my #1 diet sabotage. I am young (23) and love to go out. I try to do vodka and club soda with lime (they are my favorite), but I drink them so fast I am usually the first one feeling tipsy! When I go out and want to drink and spend time with everyone I need to drink beer because I can drink that relatively slow and then oops there goes my diet! Especially since I love the lagers.... And then I get home and eat a half a package of my stashed 'PMS' Oreos and wake up the next morning hating myself. Lol Atleast I can come on here and whine about it. I havent been out in a while because I hate that feeling! Just wanted to commiserate.0

I love grapefruit, simply grapefruit juice is the best, tastes exactly as it does when you wheeze the actual fruit for juice. When I was first introduced to grapefruit izzy when I worked at Starbucks, I fell in love. I can't imagine it would be bad with vodka but I'll definitely let everyone know, :drinker:0 -

My aunt and uncle live in Colorado! I've only been there once and I was really little so the only parts I remember are my ears bothering me on the plane, it being pretty hot, shrimp cocktail and my uncle introducing me to Dr. Pepper, which I love.
The grapefruit izzy and vodka is scrumptious, especially when you have some good vodka and therefore can't taste it. Of course that can be a dangerous thing too haha.0 -
Love grapefruit izzy!
I bet it is great with vodka.
Congrats Robin...you are doing awesome
Monday - 2 glasses of white wine.0 -

Very dangerous...if you want to save some calories, mix the izzy with sparking water0 -
sometimes I wish I wasnt so poor (but such is the life of a student/artist lol) I would like to be drinkin vodka or some rum and I know it's better for me. but here I sit with a 40 of 211. however I did good enough with my callories today that after this beer I still have 588 to use lol lets just hope I can keep myself from the store after this ones gone!
Great job to everyone on the small steps twords being dry/er! lol0 -
I've never heard of Izzy... I thought you guys were talking about the Pizza place for while. I'm gonna have to keep an eye out for it.
I've got 9 days of no drinks right now! I almost broke down a couple times this weekend but managed to stay sober:bigsmile:0 -
Kasi, Izze (I forgot it was spelled with an E) is fruit juice with sparkling water. So yummy!

So, I was tempted last night...hubs and the neighbor did a few "Monday Night FB" shots, but I didn't have any...2 days in a row!0 -
TOM, nuff said. I can't complain though because the only thing that happens to me is I get super tired no matter how much sleep or iron I get and I lose my appetite. It's usually a good week for me to lose some water and a couple real pounds. Boyfriend gets back tonight so I don't think there are any drinks happening but who knows, he may want a Johnny Walker after meetings and traveling all day and if that's the case I'll have a glass of wine or two.
Still going to get a bike ride in to reach my 500 calorie burn a day goal and get what little laundry there is done so I can stay ahead of it.0 -
I feel like I've been boozing it up, I tell ya. Wow looking back at the last week its true!
Wed - 1 bottle red wine
Thu - 1 bottle white wine + 2 Rangpur/Diet Tonic
Fri - 1 bottle red wine
Sat - 1 bottle red wine
Sun - 1 bottle IPA beer + 1/2 bottle red wine + 1 Rangpur/Diet Tonic
Mon - 1 bottle Pinot Noir (the good stuff) + 2 Coronas.
OK, I need an intervention people.0 -
*Sending over Dr. Drew to solpwr*
Hang in there, you may find the more you post about it or log it the easier it is to abstain. I tend to exercise for booze LOL!0 -

I don't think this is the thread for that!!0 -
Totally forgot that my shows start again tonight! 90210 at 8 and a new one, Ringer, at 9. This along with the fact that it's almost 7 and I've got 740 calories left for the day and that does not count the 510 I just "earned" from my bike ride. Boyfriend isn't a huge fan of watching my shows with me but he does so we spend time together. However, he's still in the process of flying home and won't land until about 9:30 so he escapes the shows tonight haha. Think I'll stick with red wine tonight since there's no more vodka :ohwell:0

:drinker: to Solpwr!! Aren't you on maintenance or close to your goal weight already?
I'm like wolf and tend to exercise so I can drink whenever/however much I want. But I'm back on my "strict" plan since i have a vacay coming up and want to drop some more lbs before then.
I'll join you on the red wine though once the weather gets cooler here.0 -
OMG how happy I am to find others who just can't say no to alcohol!!! :drinker:
Most days we have a bottle of wine with our dinner...red wine being my favorite. I really try to limit myself but you know, I REALLY like the way it tastes - I look forward to sitting down and unwinding from whatever wound me up that day - and enjoying a glass of wine while I do it.
I realize that most diet plans don't advocate drinking...and that my drinking does slow down the weight loss process, but I feel that if I cut the wine completely I won't be a happy girl.... so I say, drink on and enjoy!!0
