Hi everyone, haven't checked in for awhile (I know), but doing well. The idea of buying any wine to keep in the house during the week (M-Th) is basically a foreign concept to me now. The only challenge I've had is that I do go out a lot to happy hours after work, etc, and I ALWAYS have between 2-4 drinks per. So, maybe the…

So.. Sober September isn't going to be a thing that happens for me this time, but I am on week 3 of NO wine M-Th after work, which used to be my usual thing. It gets easier the longer I do it. It isn't really even an issue anymore. I'm also keeping my beer calories under or around 600 per week, which... I used to be able…

Hey everyone, Doing well this week so far. My usual course of action used to be to have I'd say... probably a bottle of wine per night when I got home from work or wherever. This week and last week I cut that out completely M-Th. My daily trips to the pub have become more like once/week. Fewer beer calories = a good thing.…

I still read this, even though I haven't really been doing that great lately. New goal: No drinks M-Th. Question for everyone: do you find that you drink more during the weekend, or at basically the same rate all week, or does it depend?

How did it go? I went to my friend's bachelorette party/evening, which was fun, but I am proud of the fact that I limited myself to one drink per venue (we walked around to a few different places in the area). That was how I controlled what I did, and I kept reminding myself I had to get up at 6a.m. for work the next…

I know right? This week is a wash for me, but I will consider it a win, in that I'm paying much more attention to what I'm drinking (and when) that I ever would have even a month ago.

Hear that? That's the sound of my weekly goal already going up in smoke. All because of 1 happy hour. SIGH. Time to get my *kitten* to the gym again. Blech. Oh well. Can't let one bad day derail the rest. Anyone else ever had this experience? Maybe I'll start a whole new thread for happy hour tips we can all share....

Glad to report this weekend was hangover-free. However, I did drink quite a bit of wine, so I'm certain I went way over the 2,000 calorie mark. Goals for this week: cut beer consumption by 1/4, No wine until Friday. Calories, 2,000.

Welcome! The more the merrier!

Agreed- summer is hard. I'd probably consider doing September. I had beer AND some wine yesterday, so not the best day ever. Wine tonight too... So my 1,000 calorie goal is out the window. It'll be more like 2000. Still, an improvement over last week. I'm just looking to improve week after week.

Good ol' beer. Had a 10 oz glass of the stuff yesterday, about 200 calories worth (8.5% so it's higher in calories than other more watery stuff). So, 800-900 calories left. Alcohol free day is today. I ALMOST caved and had a beer at lunch (I work at a major university where access to the on campus pub is readily available)…

Last week's booze calories: Oh.... thousands. Really. Sunday was just OTT between brunch, a wedding shower, and wine night with another friend... let's just not even go there. Goals this week: Booze calories: around 1,000. Alcohol-free days: 1. (starting small) Good luck everyone!

You're welcome everyone! I made the section through the website and not the app... I don't know how to do it through the app. Last night.. well, yeah, I had a bottle of wine (which is usual for me on a Friday night), but I think the logging is really working because I'm down another 2 lbs! Also, I was very close to my…

Good to hear! What I did was go into my settings, and create a new category just for beer/wine/alcohol, so I can log that separately and actually SEE how much I'm drinking in terms of calories, which motivates me to stay on track. So, I budget calories for each section, if you will. It seems to be working. It puts…

I'm with basically everyone else who has posted here! I love to drink craft beer (you know, the goooood stuff) and wine, and every time I have to log those drinks... man. Ouch. I'm like many of you in that I don't have just 1 or 2, more like 3 or 5. I calculated that I drank 1,600 extra calories in beer alone THIS WEEK.…
