I've lost 24 pounds in 5 months since I stopped drinking. It seems to be more than just not filling up on empty alcohol calories though. For example I eat better as I'm not drinking straight from work when I would then eat whatever rubbish was handy adn quick. I also have more time and energy so I'm doing more hiking which I love and going to the gym more because I'm not feeling sick from a hangover. Still got another 20 pounds to go but happy with progress so far especially as it has been quite natural and there is no sense of deprivation about it.
