I can tell you when I got sober the weight fell off.  

Can't wait. Lol 

I dont drink hard alcohol or wine, I'm a beer only girl but let me tell you, I can down a whole 12 pk to myself. Not good.  

Good luck on your journey! 🌈🌈🌈 

Oh ya what V3 said.... beer especially high cal and carb. Look out as you loose. What you might think is “normal” consumption will send you flying! 😜 

not to scare You but I thought I was safe by just drinking between 6-9 Coors light per night (I also smoked) until I had to go to the Hospital with Heart Failure and was told I needed a Transplant...They took a chance on me and did a Triple Bypass...basically a coin toss...my EF was 15....I had severe Ischemic Cardiomyopathy (alcohol induced)...so needless to say I dont drink or smoke anymore...I weighed 206lb when I went in the hospital on Jan 3 2019...I now weigh 169lb...heart healthy diet...low sodium...low fat...low cholesterol...You will be amazed how much weight You will lose by not drinking!!...good luck 

Not drinking will definitely make a huge difference 

Repoho— how could anyone even think that 9 LIGHT beers was safe. I’m glad you are alive to tell your story. 

Nice loss!!!😊 I love that top👍 

Kenna - I grew up where drinking was the norm - not my parents but other relatives. What we'd considered "normal" was someone else's "heavy" and our "heavy" was basically if you were a full addict or someone who would start fights while drinking. I didn't learn what safe drinking was until physician's started asking me how much I drink per day/per week and letting me know what the safe range was.  

Beautiful young Lady! if you're doing this well while drinking beer, I'm betting the weight will start plumiting. 

No Craft beer is killing me. Lagunitas and Dogfish Head both have LoCal IPAs under 100 cals 

I too grew up with drinking and my husband also drank. I had no clue what was appropriate. Personally I don't drink at all now although I did drink some wine in my 20s. I watched my dad and my husband 'normalize' 12 beer a day plus added shots. They both 'held their liquour well' so it made it even harder to speak about their consumption as being through the roof. My daughter is desperately trying to not drink however mental stress illness makes drinking an attractive way to self medicate. I have found it to be insidious and that many people have trouble identifying it as a problem due to societal norms. Losing weight motivation, Mez might be a wake up call in this area for you. Being sober and losing weight is a heady combination! 

Beautiful!! I’m a beer girl too, but the problem with drinking one beer is it makes you want another beer! (Or at least that’s the case with me! LOL) So now I only drink on special occasions, it definitely helps with the weight loss! 

outstanding. ..... look
