Has anyone lost any weight

[Touty]

Just wondering if anyone has noticed any weight loss after becoming sober?

I’m Only on Day 6 (so no weight loss yet) but I gave up alcohol For three weeks in 2020 & I lost weight.

I was alcohol free for 3 years and lost nothing really. I think i just replaced it with sugar and AF beers and wine!

During the pandemic I started drinking again and its now become way too regular - like twice a week. Its has made me feel like shit and I seem to have face bloating/double chin which I didn't have whilst AF. I'm quitting again.

I think even if you don't loose weight you feel so much better and look better it is still worth it.

Yeah I know what you mean about face bloating.

I gave up for 3 years but didn't lose any weight, in fact I put it on.

Over ten months sober and only just lost half a stone through a concerted effort to eat better.

Facial massage is good for face bloating, the massage rollers are quite good

When you first stop drinking you need to replace as many of the calories the alcohol amounts to with non alcoholic ones. It depends what you have been drinking, if you have been drinking something like lager or cider at approx 200 calories a pint then you will have more calories to replace than if you are drinking vodka.
