Tomorrow I plan on hitting the beach which means I'll be drinking my calories instead of eating them :laugh: Nothing but beer and fresh fruit in my cooler!! LOL. I :heart: those days :bigsmile:

I'm with ya!!! I'm all about the beer specials lol-- instead of drinking a reg beer, why not try a light? I'm all about Mich Ultra or Bud Select-- hell I'll even drink the Bud 55! All of which are usually on the pitcher special :drinker: at least where I live!! :) By drinking any of those you're already cutting your…

Hey small victories add to BIG success :) I think the social butterfly thing is my problem too :frown: well, that and its hard to limit yourself when you're having a goodtime doing something! :drinker:

Welcome!! Thats why I'm here!! I'm with the other post--- drinking LOTS of water helps-- also breast feeding helps things get back to normal (not sure if you're BF or not!) By the sounds of it-- you're eating WAAAY healthier than me! LOL-- What type of exercising are you doing?

Im convinced that it will go bad if it stays open for more than a day... :tongue: Not sure how true that is... I never wait to find out :laugh:

Had a HORRIBLE beer filled weekend. Now I'm regretting it. I hope I don't tip the scale when I weigh in on Wednesday :sad:

Well I hope you feel better!! I HATE getting sick on the weekends!!

Does that really work? Drinking water in between drinks?????

I purposely FORGOT to buy beer last night @ store. I'm really glad I did-- by the time I got home the kids had me so frustrated I could of downed a 6 pack in no time. Hubby was making him a drink & asked if I wanted one. I did WANT one, but said No last night. Tonight however, I doubt I'll be as reluctant to pass up…

chris-- i'm w/ya... thats why we're HERE, in THIS thread :) :drinker:

@ Kim-- LOL!!! :) Ur going to be MY inspiration!! @ Robin-- I agree!! Sometimes its like wth!!??! I usually drink to that too!!

Kim I'm taking your advice... I'll keep it up--but OMG I'm sore today! Geesh, I might only do this 2-3x a week to earn my 12 pack for the weekend :laugh: But I was really surprised on the calorie burn! Makes it ALMOST worth it :drinker:

Okay I made this tonight-- I used 1 gala apple- peeled. Sprinkled w/cinnamon & splenda - wrapped in foil & baked at 375 for about 35 mins. unwrapped it and added 1/2 cup blue bell no sugar added low fat vanilla ice cream & let it start to melt on top of the apples. All I have to say is YUM!!! It was ALMOST like home made…

Ur right about the not 1 crunch BUT OMG EVERYthing is sore! LOL. I made it through though! :sick: Hope I can keep it up!! Im stuck like glue on the couch right now-- can't move! HAHA

OK so just did my first Zumba and I must say: Becoming an anorexic seems WAAAY easier. Uggggh OMG idk HOW people do it?!?! I need some advice or I dont think Ill ever make it to another!

Welcome Erin :drinker: I like this thread too-- not judged or EXPECTED to quit drinking. But they have given me some good advice on flushing those bad alcohol calories away :)

This sounds delicious! :) I think i'm going to try it tonight!! YUM!

I always log my drinks too, and yes-- looks kinda embarrassing logging a 12 pack on one party night LOL but it makes me more self conscience about it next time. Trying to pick a lower cal drink, etc.

Soccerdot-- WHY is it that something so full if nothing can be SO BAD? I <3 it and I TRY to not eat it BUT sometimes-- theres no hope! LOL

Well I'm did my weekly check in today and despite the WAY too many beers at the Rays opening game Friday night (and the after game munching out!) AND the Seafood Fesitval Sat night, I still managed to drop .6lb this week. Not a big success but considering the splurges and lack of exercising its to be explained! This week…

Eliminated already..?! :( I cant fig out how to post my pic

sisterlilbunny-- Why are you watching the sodium? (Sorry, I'm NEW & trying to figure the weight loss secrets!) :)

Thank you VERY much. I am going to start this out and see how it goes! :) Keep you posted!

Do you know if there are any diet plans on here that will help me stick to a proper eating schedule? If its that I'm UNDER eating, I really don't know WHERE to stick extra calories in. I'm never very hungry and eat VERY light (Oatmeal coffee brkfst, Soup lunch, and a reg dinner, AND a dessert (bc I save a few cal for after…

Well I'm exercising MODERATELY - not consistent by any means though. I'm 179 and eating between 900-1200 cal per day. Once a week I go over, usually around 1700 cal that one day. Should I keep cal intake the same & increase activity? Or both?

Im going to try this out and see if it works for me! Question though-- do you eat 1200 cal + burn 300 day? Giving you a New cal of 900? Then every 3-4 days eat 1400- burn 300, a net of 1100 cal?

Let me know if it works for you. Ive cut down to just drinking on the weekends (By then I NEED it, lol) but I havent noticed a difference. Hopefully it works for you!

Soooo big question for my like minded lushessss :) I have stayed under my cal count EVERYday for 3 weeks and only went over it ONE day (this past Sat-- UFC night+beer+vodka) Even on that Sat night, I came in at 1800 or so. I just got on the scale... haven't dropped an oz! WTH..?! :( Can my ONE night of drinking really be…

Honey Nut Cheerios didn't look so bad to me!???
