Thinking of Starting... Alcohol?
I am thinking of joining WW again... but been having some tough things
going on in my life lately and have been enjoying alcoholic beverages in the evenings... is it possible to follow the program, and yet still imbibe and be more careful with the food? I realize it not "healthy or advisable" - but is it possible or unrealistic? Please no lectures... TIA John Forte |

TIA John Forte Yes it is possible, but if you follow the Flexipoints program you have to count points for every alcoholic beverage you drink as you have to do for every item you eat or drink.

I have an ounce of brandy every evening. I count my points for it and
incorporate into my daily food plan, and I'm losing weight. Yes, it's possible. -- Linda P On Wed, 11 May 2005 22:27:31 -0000, "Ekko Dieleman" wrote: Karen Forte wrote: I am thinking of joining WW again... but been having some tough things going on in my life lately and have been enjoying alcoholic beverages in the evenings... is it possible to follow the program, and yet still imbibe and be more careful with the food?

It is possible and if you are dealing in moderation you might lose slower
but you will at least not gain, and if you are following the program and eating better the need for the beverages mad decrease and that would help you as well, Lee, no lectures from me, rum is 2 points a jigger Ekko Dieleman wrote in message ...

Ekko 247/203/198 I try to have ice tea and sparkling water during week days but on Friday through Sunday, I have wine with dinner. It has never effected my weight loss. When I first went on WW more than 30 years ago I abstained from alcohol. After making lifetime I had a glass of wine and I was totally tipsy. The bottom line of what makes me gain weight is too much food and not enough exercise. If portions are controlled, alcohol fits in like anything else. Audrey |
