If you just started working out, that could be why you didn't lose as much as expected- it causes increased water retention but only temporarily. Keep it up for another week and that should fix itself :smile:

Yesterday- 2 coffees with amaretto around lunch at the in-laws, and a beer. Definitely stayed in control but still- it wasn't the zero drinks I had planned. Now my husband is travelling for the week and there is a huge open bottle of red on the counter. I really think I'm going to have to dump it if I want to prevent…

I had a similar thing happen last night! I realized I had a nice bottle of red I had been looking forward to and I didn't want it to go to waste so I had 2 glasses and my husband had the rest. Pretty proud of myself for stopping at that point though. Tonight will be a challenge because I'm going to a comedy club with a…

Thanks! I've been told it's crazy to try to tackle all three at once but I HAVE to quit smoking, and I can't seem to do that if I'm drinking. Controlling my eating isn't easy but it's easier than the other two goals, and isn't ruined by one bad decision, whereas one drink leads to more drinks which leads to smoking. So…

Sorry to hear you have the same struggle but at the same time I'm glad I'm not alone. Most of my 80-lb weight gain was because of alcohol (between the alcohol calories themselves and the munchies that go with it), and it's been my biggest obstacle in trying to lose weight. I really think if I could just quit drinking so…

Epically failed last night. What was supposed to be zero drinks turned into SIX! I have to admit it's easier for me to not drink at all than it is to stop once I've started. Kinda scared about what that might mean. And the drinking led to smoking, and quitting smoking is supposed to be my #1 priority. It also led to poor…

I think it depends on the person. I know some people who can have a non-alcoholic beer and feel satisfied because they got the taste. For others, like myself, the taste triggers the desire for more. However, it has helped me to drink a LOT of sparkling water, and at the bar tonight I plan on having club soda with lime.…

A little late joining but it's a challenge I definitely need! As of 1/2 I have promised myself I would only drink ONCE per month, to allow for a true special occasion (holiday, birthday, new job or promotion kind of thing, etc.) But only one per month because otherwise I will find a way that every day is a special…

All said by family members or friends... "People can't lose weight by swimming. I'm sure of it because I know a lot of fat people who swim." "It's not about what you eat or how much- it's about not eating after 7pm." "I love the Master Cleanse! I mean, if you do it you should take a couple days off work because you'll be…
