I haveb een doing good lately with my weight loss, diet and workout. I don't wanna drink, but what do I do when I go out with my girls I do wanna have a few drinks, but I know it is empty calories. Has anyone went out for drinks at all if so what do you drink and what do you do so that you don't gain the weigh back?

I'll have a couple of drinks every now and then . If we at my house or I'm going over a friends I'll take a batch of skinny Cosmos with me 80 cals. If I'm out it's gonna be a Vodka and cranberry juice. It is empty calories so be careful.

If it is occasional, you shouldn't have a problem with a few drinks. For the same reason you don't want to drink your meals. It is calorie laden and not very satisfying. Personally, I get hungry after a few glasses of wine and want to eat my house. This is incentive enough for me to limit this practice. Are you staying up on your fills and limiting your snacks between meals? You may be in a stall, but this is a good time to measure yourself and pay attention to how your clothes feel. Hugs!!!

I spoke my to my nut about this just yesterday lol. She said that the point of living is to enjoy it. Being skinny isn't the end all and that if you're not happy living life what's the point? That being said, She said have at it with the booze, just keep it in moderation and counter act with the excersise. Her suggestion was stay away from the beer and light on the sugar. Hard liquour (like vodka) is the best IF you are going to drink. (She specifically said vodka)

I drank about 1/5 of a cup of orange juice and peach schnapps the other day. it was ok didnt really want to finish it. And tonight, a margarita is in order! (i'm 5 weeks out)... I'll let ya know how i make out!

Best of luck!

yeah thats all I do drink is vodka nothing else I used to drink beer until the band gave it up.

i've had light beer, but i always drink halfways.....then i've had some red wine and some scotch with mineral water. can't drink a full glass.....i just try not to drink so often....on fridays or saturdays, that's it.
