A good way not to increase your weight this christmas is by reducing your alcohol intake jannie 12-07-2005 @ 8:44 PM                           reply Member Joined: Jul 2005 ....and of course if you must indulge in the alcohol stay away from the mistletoe or you may end up in a heap more trouble!! lucyAKS 12-08-2005 @ 10:54 AM                           reply Member Joined: Dec 2005 I Completely agree with the alcoholo and calories - they are what are known as 'empty calories' which dont fill you up put just put on weight...thing is though its so diccifult during christmas which is after all the festive season madmaax 12-14-2005 @ 4:04 PM                           reply Member Joined: Dec 2005 for sure... i just bought redcutil with the aim of losing weight (obviously) but i will take the tabs during the festive season to try and restrict the desire for food all the time. my problem is more habitual than anything else. lucyAKS 12-15-2005 @ 10:04 AM                           reply Member Joined: Dec 2005 The Reductil will surely help you fight the urge!
