I LOVE RED WINE!!

Oh I love any wine. I have been a multiple glass a day girl for years. It has absolutely been the hardest thing to give up and I'm sure the only thing that has caused my weight gain over the years. (Since I have always eaten healthy and exercised.) I'd love to add a few friends that share that struggle.0

I got a couple of tiny wine glasses from a wine tasting once. Half of one of these glasses is only 4 ounces ~100 calories. I use these glasses now when I have wine at home. I count it as a snack and limit myself to a max of 2 (really long hard day at work) of these 4 ounce glasses in a night. I also usually have a glass of water I drink at the same time to make my wine last longer. As a result I don't feel terribly wine deprived while I'm reducing calories. ;-)0

Red wine is actually good for you! I agree with LizLane. You just need to use portion control. A glass is typically 4-5 oz. Just work it into your calories, and just have one! For most people, it is part of a routine you have for yourself that helps you unwind. Without it, you may have to replace it with a bath or something else for a while. If you are truly trying to cut back though, you might start with just cutting it out 2 days a week for the first month, the weaning yourself off. But I don't see why you should miss out on such pleasures????? Otherwise, why suffer unless you plan on replacing those calories with something better:)0

I guess I wouldn't be much help. I typically drink 2.5 glasses (1/2 bottle) of wine every week night and often more on the weekends. It may have slowed my weight loss a bit, but it didn't prevent me from losing. I met my goal over a year ago. I don't eat many sweets though so that helps make room for the wine in my daily calories.
You're my hero!0 -
Me too. I love red wine. I try to work it into my calories. Perhaps my weightloss goes slwer that it would otherwise, but at the same time my life is more pleasant!0

Fortunately I'm not a fan of wine, but a sucker for pear cider!
Yup, classy lady right here.0 -
For the women (ok - who am I to judge, maybe some men) on this thread - I think I found our dream shoes:
Hmm - goal weight treat? :drinker:0 -
Hi, I'm Tammy and I'm a wino, too. My solution is to keep those tiny 6oz bottles of wine in the house so that when I do drink, it's neatly packaged for me in a reasonable portion. So far, it works like a charm.0

I have cut out all sweets (except for fruit of course).....so this is my SPLURGE in the evenings....I used to be a WHITE RUSSIAN girl - had to stop THAT in its tracks!! ~K0

I was just thinking last night I needed to get these so I would have built in portion control but it drives me crazy how much more they cost. If only I didn't have the desire to drink the whole dang bottle............0 -

I'm actually part of a monthly thread on here called like minded lushes, some are trying to cut down while others are just trying to find a balance, it's a great place to vent and talk boozy beverage habits.0 -
Vitamin V! when did sky change their name? LOL!!!!Keep loving it! Resveratrol is good for you! Don't worry about calories, just compensate. I drink 12 ounces of Vitamin V everyday and I am down 90lbs as of today!0

Daddy loves his vino! But at 200 calories per glass ... well it's an obstacle. I'm off the stuff for the foreseeable future.
Dan in Dallas...
OMG 200 calories!?!?! I knew I never looked up the calorie count on wine for a reason! :sad:
Alcohol has been one of the things I haven't fully given up yet. Not that I drink tons or anything, I just like to have a drink at night time....and enjoy my Friday nights lol.0 -
alllllll wines.0

I have cut out weeknight drinking as well. Well, I just started this week, but so far so good!0

Heck, I would replace a meal with wine before I cut it out! :noway:
(Oops.... I mean... I would replace a meal with... uh... a protein shake.)0 -

Does it spring when you walk? Maybe I should use it for running. And then have a glass of wine, or two or shoe....0
