marfar7 1,533 Posted May 19, 2014 And all this time, I've been counting 5 oz as my nightly red wine intake on myfitnesspal. Thats the serving size. Just actually measured it. 12 oz's! Wow. Went from 112 cals to 252 cals. Never even thought I could drink 12 oz of wine at once. Guess I'm gunna give up my wine at least till goal (about 13 lbs). And no, I'm not even getting buzzed (for those who think they'll get toasted on 2 oz of wine) Advice: Measure at least ur favorite foods/drinks just to get a more accurate estimate on calorie content... 1 ProudGrammy reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

indecision 863 Posted May 19, 2014 I measure by the bottle. Much easier that way... 6 EarthyGoalie, skinnygirlwithin, marfar7 and 3 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

elenasal 44 Posted May 19, 2014 How long did you wait until you had wine? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
marfar7 1,533 Posted May 19, 2014 How long did you wait until you had wine? About 3 months till I had it occasionally. Waited till about 6 mths to have it regularly. in fact, I rarely drank wine before being sleeved. I was a 1 Corona Lite a nite fan for a cpl yrs. While I miss my beer, red wine is good too. I don't remember my dr having any requirements for alcohol. Probly in there, I probly just ignored it! Think I'm gunna give it up while I work on those last 13 lbs. Yes, my ticker says 11 to goal, but I gained 2 lbs this past cpl wks. Bummer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
