Do any of you drink wine or anything else? I am still on mushies right now, but when I start on solids, I would eventually love to have a glass (or a few sips!) of wine. Can we tolerate it? You know, to an extent?

Yes I do . . alot less, but about a 1/2 glass some nights.

I believe most tolerate alcohol well. I think it's a matter of personal choice. I avoid it because of the calories, but once I am at goal I might drink on occasion.

My motto is that I never want to diet again. Life is too short not to "live" it. Therefore, anything within moderation is OK.

I have a great time on the weekends drinking hard liquor only!! But its great! I usually lose weight on the weekends when Im drinking

I was told people tend to not lose when they drink, mainly for 2 reasons:

1) the calories in the alcohol

2) impaired judgement -- have a drink before dinner while you are out to eat and you tend to eat more or not make the best food choices.

I've just been avoiding it because of the calories. (and partly because my favorite drink is rum & coke and I've chosen to stay off pop for good)

But I don't think an occasional glass of wine would hurt anything.

I went out with the girls friday after work and had one cranberry juice and parot bay rum. I enjoyed it and stopped at one. Drinking poses no problem for me other than the calories in the mixers. At home or at friends houses I do vodka with lemonade crystal light and have had no weight gain from it - but always in moderation.

Good luck,

Yes, please.

i let myself doing only one sin i was about to choose alcohol or coke diet

well i choosed the 2nd since it has not calories
