Well, my experience is a bit different. My weight has gone from a low of 115 to a high of 173. When I was a couple of years sober I had quit smoking at six months and gained 25 lbs. Then I started running and lost 35 lbs. A couple of years ago when drinking I lost about 45 lbs then bounced back up to 171 while drinking (following my dog's death). I find that my weight goes up and down with taking or not taking my psych meds. At any rate, I am back up to 170
and have started working out again, but I can't get a handle on the eating. I'm taking my meds again and not drinking so I can hope I get back down to at least 130.
