so, ya'll know I'm training for this big race in August...1/2 ironman. It wouldn't hurt me to loose a little weight to help performance. Well, m bodybuilding friend told me that if I continue to drink red wine that the body fat will not budge. This was pretty disheartening--cause I love a little red wine! My God, I've given up pizza, sweets, hamburgers, and some other things. If I have to give up red wine--that might just put me over the edge. What do you guys think of this? If I drink a little red wine--will it keep the bodyfat on? say it ain't so! jerrys

    Connie is right - my daily weight can vary all over the place. I try to look at the long term view. I have been losing weight and like to hit the next five pound mark. (200, 195, 190, etc.). And as I have hit these marks, I found that I will hit the mark for the first time and the next day I may be two pounds over the mark. But if I give it time I reach the point where even with the variations I am always below a given mark. So I know I have lost weight. On the other hand, maybe my weight is constant and my cheap bathroom scale varies all over the place.....:)
