Eek 579 calories in alcohol yesterday. Stayed within my daily calories though thanks to a gym session.

Whoop it's Friday and it's beer o'clock. I've been good all week with food and drink and I feel like I'm starting to slim down ( ribs are definitely less hidden, just a shame I lose weight from the top down so it'll be a while before my butt starts to go!) surely a few beers can't undo all my good efforts this week....…

Thursday 0 Friday will definitely involve alcohol. Kate, sounds like you're having a lovely time, I could do with a walk along the beach

Sunday 0 Monday 0 Tuesday 0 Wednesday a bottle of bud :smiley: first time I've had one in years. Yesterday was a 600 calorie day and so is tomorrow so I figured I'd squeeze a cheeky beer in between.

Hey lushes, I was plodding on eating pretty well and only drinking at weekends (usually a bottle of wine over 1 or 2 nights). I drank a bit more last week as I had to buy Guiness to make a beef and ale stew and it was a 4 pack and I only needed 1 bottle for the stew....shame. Made a snap decision last weekend to start on a…

Gary hi, a very belated happy birthday from me. You share your birthday with my best friend. Definitely a good day :-) Robin I hope your finger is better soon, just so long as it doesn't stop you holding a glass.... I saw a report on the news earlier about the blizzards expected in certain parts of America. I hope those of…

Sunday 0 Monday 0 Tuesday 0 Wednesday 0 Prob due to the fact I'm feeling ill and permanently hungover even when I'm not! Had to take day sick from work yesterday. I slept nearly whole day and night. I very wisely don't have any wine chilling in the fridge either. Happy hump day lushes :smiley:

Katie, I'm so pleased your move has worked well. There are so many who would like to do similar but don't quite have the courage ( me included). I'm moving to the dark side and joining the lushy lushes tonight. The prosecco has got me again! I'm discovering that right now I'm pretty good at not drinking but when I start I…

No alcohol for me since the evil prosecco last Friday. That's my longest dry run in a while o:) Chloe I'm glad you're drinking it on my behalf ;) I've been eating well too, home cooked stews full of veggies and I've got a freezer full portioned out ready to take to work for lunches. Not going near the scales though,…

Sooo I drank the entire bottle of Prosecco, stayed up until 3.30am watching films and then woke up this morning feeling like death and it was pissing down with rain and freezing cold as I stumbled out to let the chickens out. That'll teach me, deffo can't drink like I used to! Hope everyone is having a good weekend :)

0's from Mon - Thurs. Fri night and I'm hitting the Prosecco, I'm having a horrible stressful time at work recently so need to chill. Also the news in the UK is full of doom and gloom, new guidelines for drinking alcohol and warnings that no amount is safe.... It's enough to drive you to drink ;)

Hey lushes,I need to cut back down on the alcohol and clean up the diet. My clothes are too tight and I'm not going near the scales. I drank an entire litre bottle of Baileys in a couple of days which was about 2000 calories on its own :o I'm still building the weight training back up slowly as rehab process is sooooo…

Can't believe I still have an open half bottle of wine waiting to be finished. The label said to drink it within 2 days of opening- wine going 'out of date' in my house, what is happening?!

Oh yes, on my 2nd glass of red wine, first time I've had alcohol in ages. I'm sure I'll pay in the morning, alcohol seems to make me feel so rough now, but for right now it seems a good idea, so I'm nearly a legitimate lush again! I've hit a bit of a blip with my motivation 16 weeks or so post spinal surgery and 4 weeks…

My lovely lushes, it's so nice to see the group is still going. I'm back to logging (ish) and have finally discovered I can see the forums on the phone app! After a few months of enforced abstinence due to being on pain meds I can now drink again and have rediscovered my taste for a nice glass (or 2) of red wine so I feel…

Well done on your progress. The difference is not just in how your body looks but also how much happier and more confident you look in the after pics.

Ultimately like other people have suggested if you are losing weight, and you must be because your clothes are looser, then what you are doing is working so maybe it doesn't matter right now. Like you I eat at around 8.30 or sometimes later, once I have the kids sorted and have prepped/packed my food for work the next day.…

I think it gets easier as it becomes routine, it is tough when starting out logging but once you have your favourites list up and running it gets easier. Maybe I'm a bit predictable but there are certain foods/meals that I tend to cook fairly often and I have about 20 recipes added. The meal function is great because if…

Hey 8 pounds is good :-) Well I'm off the alcohol as I can't drink due to some pain meds for my back as I'm going through a pretty bad time with it just now. Can't do much at the gym either, so I've decided to focus on cleaning up my eating and getting a bit leaner over the next few weeks while I'm out of action. Trouble…

Hi lushes, I seem to have found you again. Hope you are all rockin along x

oh if only rule 12 were true.... I'd be buried in a Y shaped coffin :-)

Gosh have I really not posted in here yet this month, I remember reading some of the posts at the beginning of the month. Well done to the abstainers. I decided to opt for a sort of moderation in January. I finally got my taste for alcohol back and I had loads of drink left over from Christmas and it needed drinking.…

Lol I had to go on root cause analysis training earlier in the month, my new job involves lots of that sort of thing!

Hey lushes, I've only been logging intermittently over Christmas, but haven't drunk or eaten too badly. In fact I haven't drunk much since Boxing Day. I seem to have a bit of problem as I'm not enjoying alcohol at the moment, how weird is that? At the end of November I couldn't wait to start drinking again but really…

I've been good for the start of the week, zero's Sunday to Tuesday, then decided to open a bottle of wine last night but only drank 1 glass. I think I'll go for 2 glasses today which is all very controlled, I'm definitely kicking into holiday mode though as there's more treats creeping in too.

Aww Kat, your husband will be back safe before you know it

I'm a true lush today, consumed more calories in alcohol than I have in food, epic :smokin:

Kat, love your ring Mcel, welcome I seem to be in the holiday mood too can't wait until my kids finish school for Christmas, but very strangely I don't want to drink tonight, I must be ill!

Well I was going to aim for a 0 tonight but after reading about all the lushiness I think I need to join in :happy: :drinker:

BA hons humanities, I've done a mix of mainly history, archaeology, some religion, technology & music. I had a free choice of a certain number of modules as I went along so I did some science, evolution and nutrition too. On my 2nd glass of wine now and the cheap date phenomenon has kicked in- after a month of abstinence…
