Does wine make you fat?

[brappy]

It's getting cold up there. If I still lived in Wisconsin, I'd bulk up now. Gotta keep warm some way. Milwaukee is brutal in the winter. not just the temp but also the wind coming off of lake Michigan. My family fluctuates 20 lbs every winter. They do tell me, however, that as they get older, it's harder and harder to get the lbs off.

This past year I shot up to the heavieast I've been (225 lbs) and became uncomfortable because of it. I quickly lost 40 lbs by simply changing the amount I ate. No change in wine consumption at all. I did hit a plateau (haven't lost anything since hitting 185)and am stuck there. But I'm not giving up wine to accomplish more weight loss. No way!
