mtrammell03

I've been sober for 16 days now and feel really good. I've started running again, (which I haven't done in over a year), and was able to do 3 miles yesterday. I was surprised how easy it was for me being that I've put on so much weight. I am a little confused with my body right now though. My weight has been moving all over every day. Up 3 pounds down 5 and so on. Any advise? Did this happen to anyone else? I'm also curious to see if anyone lost weight after that got sober.

Thanks!

I wish!!

Lost a lot of 'bloating' especially around my face, stomach & ankles, and initially lost about 5lbs, presumably all fluid. Since then though weight is depressingly stable

Now paying more attention to my diet in the hope that'll help!

Congrats on your sober time & continued good luck with your fitness!

I never had any thing like that mtrammell03 - but I'd check with your Doctor if you're worried

Yeah, please do check with your dr.

And, I gained weight (which I needed to) in recovery. I had lost weight during my last drinking months.
