Hi,Glenellen I am so glad you are going to join us and as we have quite a bit of weight to lose we can keep each other company on this new way of life we have embarked on.I also LOVE my glass of wine or bacardi or lchampagne or in the case of last night all 3!!!!!. It was my husband's birthday (any excuse),boy does adkins give you the hangover from hell,however I had a lowcarb meal in the restaurant so at least I held on to my willpower dispite the drink.I know it can slow down my weight loss but I have given up so much that I like in order to lose my weight ,that I feel I can allow myself this one weakness at the weekend-that's my story and I'm sticking to it!!!.
