Super awesome soda!!
So I just tried this soda... it's spendy but so great for you and really yummy somehow! Dandelion Root is supposed to be great for cleaning out the liver, and Burdock Root is a blood cleanser, and this stuff is made by fermenting them! It's called "Fentiman's Dandelion & Burdock Soda" and pretty much just tastes a bit…

October
OK! Time to put it down on paper. Think "Baby steps". Think "I can do this." And think to use the word "Won't" instead of "Can't". Can't implies I still have the habit, but I am trying to deny myself - Won't implies my new lifestyle has eliminated that habit and I just don't do it any more. So I won't be drinking at all…

September!!!!
Goals? Successes? Plans? Anyone? Bueller? I'm still gunning for nothing to drink through September. We shall see. :smile: Hope everyone back in school's getting into it OK!

what's your strategy?
Do most of you abstain from alcohol 100%? One drink per week limit? One per day? Wine only? What's your approach?

Introduce yourself :)
Feel free to introduce yourself here, tell us your name/weight loss goals and perhaps why you want to quit/cut down on drinking :) I am Anastasia, 23 yrs old, I want to lose an additional 60lbs but the booze isn't helping so I want to quit (except occasional special holidays/events) because I can't drink in moderation :P I…

August Goals
I'll start us off for August even though it's already the 11th. We have to start sometime! No drinking during the week with the exception of one (1) WITH dinner and ONLY if within my calorie range. Friday night is the only night I can indulge Sat and Sun, no drinking until 6 PM and limited to 3 - NO BINGE DRINKING!! I…

Low-calorie alternatives (UK)
I only really go over my allowance on days that I drink! I find it hard to drink 'better' forms of alcohol, as I only really drink red wine or gin and slimline anyway. Think part of the urge is to quaff something, so have been looking at low-alcohol wines. They're good, but have only found white and rose so far, and…

July Goals?
Hi there! Do any of you have alcohol-related goals set for July? Mine is to abstain completely for one month...wish me luck I have never tried this before :happy:

what a great group!
Thanks Anastasia! Gosh...I thought I was alone with this issue! I live in Italy and we can get a decent bottle of wine for $4! At the restaurant, a LITER of the house wine for $8! And the house wine is always yum......it is a big problem for me......not only the calories from the wine....but then I lose all motivation AND…

Erase the word "binge" from my vocabulary...
...one day at a time. Since this group started I have logged 5 days. Drank 3 glasses of red wine last night with dinner and that is the only booze so far. Tonight my wife and I are going to friends for dinner and I am planning on 1 beer for cocktails, 2 glasses of wine with dinner, and that's it. The food will be chicken…

Time to get real with my logs!
I am working with a nutritionist who is also "a friend" on here and I've been really embarrassed about how much I drink so I haven't been logging it. I have made some really positive changes in my exercise and eating habits the last few months. I'm packing my lunch, working out, walking, cooking more, eating more veggies…
-
I'm logging today! It's been a while
I haven't logged food in a while, since my booze consumption is sort of a lot. I ALWAYS go way over on sugar, and calories as well, and tend not to make good choices food-wise anyway. Today, because of this group, I did it. :bigsmile: I made progressive choices for lunch and after logging that decided I was having salad…

Ideas for helping you resist those drinks
Anyone have some idea's on how to resist drinking alcohol, maybe things that helped you or anyone you know? Feel free to share here :) I have good tip for those trying to cut down, drink a glass of water between every drink, it totally slows down how fast you drink cause it feels you up too :)
