Weight Loss

Hi Everyone

We have a scale in our bathroom but I'm not one to weigh myself with any regularity. However, yesterday I noticed how a pair of pants seemed a little loose and so I weighed myself.

I've lost 7 pounds which I can only attribute to not drinking since I have not made any other changes that could account for that weight loss.

Yet another benefit to not drinking!

I can identify. It took me about 6 months to lose my 40 pound beer belly.

I am very happy to see how well you are doing. You are staying positive and focused!

Keep up the good work.

God Bless!

Rich, that is awesome. We are close in sobriety days. I put on a bit of weight, however. I attribute my weight gain to eating sweets though. I'm on the clean eating wagon again, starting today! Keep going! Your posts are bright now! Hugs

Hey --

I used to eat a lot of sweets but I cut those out a few years ago when I wanted to lose some weight. I also cut out sugary drinks during the day, switching over to plain seltzer instead of Snapple or soda.

I still have a sweet tooth but my wife makes sure we don't have sweets in the house to eat!

Yeah!! I haven't drank in 3 weeks and I'm down 6 pounds!! I've also traded beers for workouts, which is making me feel amazing! Not drinking is awesome!

     I was recently separated from my wife of 33 years and it's complicated. Anyway I rented a room about 15 minutes away and I see my kids about once a week. I see the people who own the house I live in once in a while but other than that I stay in my room where I do my cooking, wash dishes in the shower, read, color, and sleep. I get out at least once a day. I grocery shop and I attend 2 meetings...
