[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP here that I think y’all are referring to. The rigid rules are in place because I wasn’t losing weight! Plain and simple. I too could stop for long periods of time (pregnancy, dieting), was generally eating healthy, working out daily, running races, etc.  but the glass a day plus weekend wine drinking was killing my progress. I was gaining and losing the same 5 lbs in a continuous loop. I love wine, but I had to stop. And as soon a I did weight started falling off and bloat and puffiness is gone.

I will be drinking on vacation next month and again in August. But drinking just to drink is no longer a part of my routine. Otherwise I will gain weight.

And yes, I do believe that I was a problem drinker borderline alcoholic based on the above behavior. But people’s opinions differ on how to define an alcoholic. [/quote]

I think you were consuming more alcohol than I ever do (I'm not a daily drinker even on vacation. I'm more once a week. Twice a week tops).  My own weight loss has been steady although I have been on maintenance mode for the past several weeks as I've been upping my exercise.  I have a little more to go but I actually want to take the remaining pounds off more slowly because I think the results will be better.

Simple tip from a diet veteran:  If you want to take off the weight you might gain over your vacation, try intermittent fasting once you get home.  IF works wonders in getting you back on track. Or at least it sure does the trick for me.[/quote]

Are you OP? I thought you said you were knocking back two bottles over every weekend. [/quote]

No.  I'm not Op.  Sorry for the confusion. I'm the pp who said that if I want to drink a bottle of wine, I'll do it because I'm an otherwise responsible person, with no bad habits and who does not routinely drink to excess.[/quote]

Whenever there is a drinking post, a few people always come out in force to talk about how bad it is. I wonder if those people also exercise the recommended 150 minutes a week – the number one predictor of good health long-term. My guess is no. I do that and then some but I also like to drink. My call.[/quote]

Two bottles of wine in two days is excess. Whether you exercise 150+ mins a week or not. You can’t credibly argue that it’s not. [/quote]

I don’t disagree but that’s also not the point of my post.[/quote]
