Does anybody have ANY advice to give me?? I'm 5'8 and like 165...yikes! i have never wanted to weight this much. is there a way to lose weight and still be able to drink, too?? Or no? I need any help available! Thank you very much.

If you fill out your profile we can help you. Drinking (alcohol I presume)_will not help you reach your goal. Eat healthy food, swim, and lift weights, that will give you what you want. Welcome to freetrainers.

As much as I like a good beer or an Irish whiskey, Alcohol is a double edged sword when it comes to weight loss. First, Alcohol is a depressant and slows down the metabolism. Second, the calories gained are empty and do little for your nutritional goals. Daniel
