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!

It should really be calle 'fat loss' not 'weight loss'.
I've given up on weighing myself. I go and have my body fat done about once every 3 months, and I go by how my clothes fit.
Someome mentioned 'listen to your body' in another thread. That may take soem time to learn for a lot of people, but once you do, it is well wort the effort, and you can toss the 'darn scale' out the window.
I know from the years of dieting, my weight can fluctuate as much as 8-10 pounds a day, mainly because of water!
I used to do little experiments, like weigh myself before and aftera shower. It was amazing, there could be 4-5 pounds of difference. Or before and after dinner etc. Weighing yourself and not looking at other factors can lead to some very false conclusions.
For example, in my case, last 6 months swimming at least 5 times a week, some 2500-3000M a day, I barely lost any weight, but I'm down just about 3 dress sizes now, in pants.
