What an excellent thread - really rams it home for me as the difference between drinking and not is absolutely huge for me. I'm currently taking a break from it and the weight is dropping off. I'd love to make it permanent - i do love a glass of wine (or 10) in winter so massive challenge ahead.

I'm in the UK battering away on my own trying to shed pounds. I'd love some friends in the same boat!

Wow this is such a great thread - it's happened to me a lot regarding fluctuations and only yesterday i was thinking that at least overall i seem to be on a downward trend. What a great idea to get a tracker and record an average - might seem obvious to some but as a newbie i really appreciated this tip!!

That's massively thought provoking @brightresolve - I've always wondered how some of my heavy drinking buddies maintain their weight as I am fairly certain they don't go to the gym. Perhaps they just don't eat! I used to think they were lucky...but I've really enjoyed getting stuck into the gym and hiking the past couple…

Great post flippy - thanks for that xx

Thanks for the food for thought everyone - interesting to see the range of responses. I so wish I could cut down like some of you. I checked my food diary (when i was actually being honest) and 70% of my daily calories was red wine. I've pretty much completely quit for the past 2 weeks as i really can't stop once i've…

When you keep waking up during the night every time you turn over in bed because your legs are stiff and aching from your run!

I love this story - makes so much sense to log your food...then your activities and to address where you've been going wrong. So inspirational - and sensible...

I'm a pig for wine...I can drink buckets of it and once I start i can't stop til it's all gone. After a couple of years trying various methods of cutting down etc I have now cut it out completely. I've been gaining a pound a month for the past 5 years so clearly alcohol is taking me further away from where i want to be…
