97 calories per shot!?

So i just added up how many calories i was drinking per week if i only had 1 bottle of seagrams whiskey 750 ml. And it was 2500 calories!!! Add a few cokes to that and i was drinking 3000 calories per week dedicated to getting drunk! Sometimes i would drink two per week!! Thats so gross and insane. Did anyone lose weight when they quit drinking?

Haha! Its so funny how guys want to get bigger and girls want to get smaller. I can already feel the bloating going away in my face and stomach but ive gained 40 pounds over the last four years of binge drinking and call center sales jobs. i want to get rid of it! 12 days sober!

I want to try to gain muscle weight now that the beer weight is gone but…that requires lots of work…so I’m going to buy a new ps4 instead…maybe that will help :grinning:

A lot of people gain weight after they quit smoking because its a appetite supressant. Now that im cutting 3 to 6 thousand calories a week, eating better and moderate excersize i better lose some damn weight!!

I’ve been losing like crazy! Clothes aren’t fitting well any more. I also treat myself to yummy things to keep my cravings at bay. My new obsession is rich hot chocolate (I had 2 tonight with chocolate donuts) and I’m good with it…I was probably taking in 3-4k extra calories a week with my drinking. I’m liking the way sober feels! I just have to stay strong!

Im liking it so much more than I thought I would!! When I said I wasnt going to drink anymore after my last episode I didnt honestly believe in myself! I think this app has helped me soooo much! I do NOT want to hit that reset button!

Whether I lose any weight or not I really don’t care at this point! I feel so good and in control right now. Besides 6 days sober I am also 6 days of healthy eating and long walks.
