Another reason to 'drink till pink'

No more empty calories from alcohol = slight weight loss, which offsets early bloat.

Yep! I lost 2 lbs the first week after my BFP, and the only thing that changed was no booze.  For a second I was like hmmm maybe I won't start drinking again.... that thought didn't last too long!

Good for you!  I have gained about 1.5 lbs...which isn't so bad, considering that I have been so tired that I haven't been walking or riding my bike...I also think that the lack of calories from alcohol is offsetting...I wasn't a major drinker -- maybe 1 glass of wine a night during week, and 2 on a Sat. night... but the 200 calories every day adds up!  However, I quit smoking on Dec 27th-- and packed on 10 pounds really fast...so trying not to eat anything unhealthy...but can't stay away from the boiled peanuts for too long!  As a native Yankee it is a weird craving, and it grosses most of my friends out, but boy they are good!

I thought I would drop a few pounds initially after eliminating my nightly wine, but I think I have substituted food calories for the wine calories...LOL
