drunk...

I think it's fine but it's best if you can use moderation and work it into your calories. I don't drunk eat though, which is probably what messes some people up worse than the actual drinking.

vodka and gin with slimline tonic are pretty low cal and on their own wouldn't make much of a difference weightwise. the only problem is that once you're a bit tipsy (or drunk!) your diet will go out the window. does with me anyway. i start feeling that i don't need to lose that half a stone, and reach for the cheese and ketchup sandwiches (my drunk meal of choice). plus think about the next day - pretty hard to get through a hangover without a load of stodgy food.

IMO you can get past the calorific values of alcohol pretty easily, but can you stay on the straight and narrow once your judgement is a bit impaired! i can't that said you need to enjoy yourself or you'll feel resentful. it's a tough one.

I hadn't drank in two months and went out for my boyfriends birthday for dinner yesterday with the intention of not drinking. He bought me a strawberry daiquiri which led to another seven! I might still be drunk because I missed the last step on the stairs and face planted the dog who was asleep in the hall. I'm very very ill today and have been awake since 6am running to the bathroom!

I consumed 1600 cals in alcohol last night and I'm not proud of that so choose your drinks wisely my dear! I won't be drinking again anytime soon!! Fact!
Don't think I'll be eating today either

awww sarah, poor you, lol!!! try n eat something hun, it'll help the road to recovery.

i think you need to have a blow out every now and then, otherwise what's the point in us being on this planet if all we're gonna do is eat lettuce and drink water, lol!!

its all about moderation, eat healthy the rest of the week, and follow the advice about the type of drink you choose, making sure you stay away from those which are too high in calories, n try not to get too drunk otherwise that will lead to late night snacking.

life is for living, enjoy it!!! x

I did exactly the same ... except i drunk 12 beers and had shots it was 2000 cals!!! omg, isnt that terrible

Forgot I did shots! That has to be another 400 cals there... Stupid baby Guinness!

whenever go out and drink, I will bust my *kitten* off at the gym for the next couple days to make it worth it. so like every weekend lol.

I did too many beers last night and made the fatal late nnight stop at the chip shop on the way home. When I got home i had a chocolate attack!

Going to find my walking boots now to try and make up for the gazillion calories I drank! LOL!

Happy Saturday all!!!

Not proud of this, but I used to drink everyday. Of course, when I realized a lifestyle change was needed, I couldn't do that anymore. I still drink on the weekends every week and the weekend starts on Friday! So, I still drink 3 out of 7 days. Every week I say okay, pick a day and drink only that day, but it never works. I have lost 23 lbs since August 22nd and I kick myself in the azz every Monday cause I know that could be doubled if I just cut the drinking down to 1 day a week and I tell myself next weekend................and here I am again Saturday morning after a night of drinking wanting to kick myself again, but know I won't until Monday. Plus last night I drunk ATE, which I rarely do..................so I'm gonna go do my JM 30DS and get on my glider for 30 minutes and hope for the best!! Oh well, it's my choice and if I don't make my next goal (below 160) before my cruise on November 19th I have no one to blame but myself! :drinker:

Every now and then. Last weekend was my birthday so I knew I'd be drinking. I drank all I wanted and sort of watched what I ate. I actually still lost a little. But I did NOT weigh myself the next day. I am NOT ever going to give up social drinking. We just need to be smarter with our food choices.
