    @forestdweller1 Thanks 🙂

    Have you experienced that "the pounds just fall off without alcohol" also. It happened to me before. I wonder sometimes if others have experienced the same thing? I hope those pesky pounds fall off quickly this time too!

    @forestdweller1 I agree. Water weight is still weight. Losing water weight does make your body smaller...making your clothes fit looser. At least that's how it seems.

    Thanks @Womona I lost another 1.4 lbs since yesterday. I must have been really retaining water. Although, I do watch my diet pretty closely. I didn't log yesterday because we went out to lunch. And I find it hard to log restaurant food.

    The alcohol cycle really is a bad one. Drinking daily, I didn't have much energy, balance or coordination. So it was hard to walk, exercise or do much of anything. I'm already starting to feel better.

    I've never tasted less alcohol wine. If it tastes the same as the regular, then I'd probably drink the less alcohol. But if the less alcohol doesn't taste as good, I probably stick with the high octane 😁 Just have a few more AF days.

    August:
    AF - 2
    A - 6

    @Womona I forgot to mention your early Autumn temps sounds heavenly!
    I feel you on weighing the cost and benefits of the low alcohol high prices. I too was on a lower alcohol content wine kick most of June and part of July but recently I started thinking about the prices on some - between 13.99 - 16.99 on two I sort of liked. But then, I always have more than my personal limit, so NOT really less calories. Wasn’t losing any weight either lol. This month I’m doing an experiment and incorporating other low cal beverages and choosing a decent wine for that same price and enjoying it more (with less glasses overall).

    @SurferGirl1982 I am excited for you and your new choices. There is a lot of support here for you. I don’t know your age but I’m the other side of 60 and my personal opinion is that health and balance and mobility are keys to longevity!
