How much weight did you lose? - SoberRecovery : Alcoholism Drug Addiction Help and Information

Krismutt1 · 11-02-2009, 08:57 AM

Just curious how much weight everyone lost when you sobered up..

Day 3 for me and I can already feel the difference in bloat! Can't wait for the one month mark!

I lost about 15lbs. I'm 5'4 and went from about 135 to 120.

It was a combination of the following:

-I got rid of the alcohol calories
-No more eating junk when I'm drinking and/or hungover
-I workout 5-6 days a week and make healthier food choices. I'm now addicted to cardio.

The only downside to all of this is that I need to buy new clothes...well, if you can really consider that a downside...haha.

I'm down about 15 pounds since the beginning of September and still dropping. I did start a real diet a few weeks ago and have been exercising, but I'm positive the lack of beer has a lot to do with it.

I think you could see a difference in my face within the first week. Less bloating, if nothing else.

34lbs in the last 4 months, 10 more pounds to go...that'll make me 190lbs at 6' 2"...sweeeeeeeeeeeeet!

1. Eating properly
2. Exercising (fat burn level...increased that to cardio now)

It was always a real hadship to look in the mirror, 8 years ago i was the perfect weight, good bod! Ahhh drinking, what a joy it really was.....NOT!

I lost 48 pounds in 18 months. I quit smoking in July and gained 15 pounds. Since then I lost 10 of that...so, I am still down 43

none on a bad day haha, (ten pounds in the beginning I think) but I had just lost 50 before I quit and hit a plateau I reckon. I eat lots more sweets now as well =)
