Hello and welcome to the thread that acknowledges alcohol. We like it.
Most of us drink it. We struggle with the effect it has on our weight loss. We support each other when we strive to control it. We support each other when we fail to control it.

This is a support zone. Not a judging zone.


:drinker: Hello all and welcome to the December no judgement zone.

Okay we all know that December is a challenge but we also know that it is a time to celebrate so here's to all my lush friends who successfully walk that line.:drinker:

    I'm confused...why are you listing days and drinks? Are we trying not to drink? I thought we were embracing our inner drunk :drinker:

    This is going to be a challenge, nothing says Christmas like Baileys, yum. :tongue:

    I rarely drink during the week, but love having a few glasses of G&T (or white wine if I've burned an insane amount of cals) over the weekend. Me and hubby are going to a Christmas market this weekend, can't wait! :drinker:

    Pretty Kitty, I'm just trying not to drink because I have been a little bit too lushy lately. I fully embrace my inner lush!

    Ah, the trend was broken...
    Sunday=0 drinks
    Monday=0 drinks
    Tuesday=0 drinks
    Wednesday=3 drinks

    We went to a friend's house, he just closed on it and he had some wine so I had some, it was a tiny cup and I only poured a little bit each time, and then we went out to eat and I ordered one glass but it seemed generous one, they brought like a tall thin glass bottle and small glass. I logged it at 15 oz. and I think that's fair.

    PrettyKitty, don't you fret! Most (if not all) of us still get our drink on. Some track so that they can "save" their drinks for the weekends or nights out, some are trying to abstain for a bit to jump start a weight loss and some (like me) are trying to curb the drinking during the week--because trying to teach a bunch of middle schoolers with a small hangover sucks. :laugh:
