5'11" and 170 lbs....49 years old.
this was my weight on my vodka and stress diet.
i'm sure i've put on at least 5 lbs in the 16 days i haven't drank.
i don't care if i get up to 195 as long as it's not drinking. i've always been in pretty decent shape but now i'm an office rat so i have no exercise in my job.
last year i quit for 100 days and never did put on a ridiculous amount of weight. i might have got in the low 180's but that's not a bad weight for me to carry.
bovine....your post cracked me up. i loved how it started out then you delivered the punch. great honest stuff. good luck to you man. if you can quit drinking you have the willpower to overcome any problem.
one great thing about me quitting drinking is my b.p. has already returned to normal. what a freakin' poison alcohol is.
