I know it must be all in my head but I feel beer is the very worst calories for me personally.

I have had better luck getting a buzz with wine, unsweetened hard cider (gluten free local cider, not crap like angry orchard sweetened garbage)....or even whisky/vodka and sugar free soda or sparkling water.

I enjoy getting my buzz on , and I love Ale so it pains me but I basically cant drink beer any more...Ugh..

I feel your pain - all the way. What is your alternative? Diet soda or Red Bull and Vodka or the sort?

Here's a breakdown of calories in classic bar favorites:
1 vodka soda: 64 calories.
1 glass of white wine: 100 calories.
1 glass of sparkling wine: 100 calories.
1 glass of red wine: 120 calories.
1 full-strength beer (250ml bottle): 155 calories.
1 old-fashioned: 150 calories.
1 gin and tonic: 200 calories.

I'm going to an event on Saturday in Midtown where we all watch a film and there's a voice-over comedian making fun of it. This month they're doing Prisoners of the Lost Universe. It's a mystery science theater 3000 of sorts in Virginia Highlands district of Atlanta. Should be a blast - I suppose I'll have a couple of the vodka/soda/limes.

pretty much, man

my wife does a pretty good cocktail with

vodka
la croix (berry sparkling water , zero calories)
diet or light cranberry juice
lime squeeze

pretty much the only calories comes from the vodka and they get u hammered

edit: when i feel like beer or wine I usually go for hard cider or apfelwein, although i enjoy a nice bottle of normal (grape) wine as well

as a gin drinker I will say this: there are some pretty OK zero calorie tonic waters out there, and go heavy with the lime squeeze...

it cuts the calories back to slightly more than a straight vodka

bourbon, even the good stuff is 100 calories for a 1.5 oz shot. Add Coke Zero or no sugar if desired.

I walked 3.2 miles today - I want to take off about 12 lbs before I get too intense. But it's a start.

I declined the twice baked potatoes today. I had my alternate meal of chicken breasts and green beans, I then had a cup of that sugar free jello pudding - dark chocolate which are 60 cals. I did slip up on 5 peanut M&Ms but that's only about 45 more calories - aside from that today, I only had a banana and an orange.

Putting in my weight as a earmark w/ the date - for future measuring.

224.2 LBS. today.

Down day today. I was going for zero calories but as I'm getting ready for bed, my stomach started growling. I know from experience that that makes it hard to get to sleep so I had a yogurt and a few nuts for 250 calories. Off to bed now.

SR, I was exactly 1 pound more than you this morning.

You know what’s worse than being fat?

Being a fat ginger.

This is pretty much it. You want to limit dairy and fruit though. Protein and vegetables and high intensity cardio
