HOW MUCH WEIGHT WHEN YOU STOP DRINKING ALCOHOL ???

[IDRINKTOOMUCHANDCANTSTOP]

Need positive stories, I have stopped for 3 days !

I have meant how much weigh did you lose when stopping alcohol.

None, sorry. BUT I drank ginger beer and lemonade and the like instead of alcohol so it was inevitable I wasn't going to lose any. Plus I have the metabolism of a narcoleptic sloth and I never lose weight unless I really try very hard indeed. Plus I only stopped for six weeks. Plus I had at that time only just given up smoking.

Many people find they lose loads of weight don't they? I'm sure you will too as long as you replace the alcohol with something sensible.

I can't stand aspartame so don't do diet drinks, despite my porky status.

I like a few drinks so noticed when I got pregnant both times that I lost a stone in weight! Before I got big of course....probably lost that in the first 2 months (but was also v sick so this may skew the results!)

Depends how much you drank. A pint of beer is about 200 calories, half a bottle of dry white wine about 250.

It also depends on what you replcae it with. And whether stopping drinking also stops you snacking.

I used to drink a lot , didnt really snack but used to have big meals to sponge
