Good on you Eric! Iām with you at 134.8 lbs today, Iām happy too!! My new obsession is meditation and with that non-identification except that of being a Meditator 
Thanks @Feeling.great i loved the paper towel theory. I havenāt weighed myself since but know 100% Iāve stuck to my exercise and healthy eating so it should be working. I am just going to avoid the scalesā¦ they donāt make me feel good at all. Iāll limit myself to once a month just to make sure Iām going in the right direction.
I will say this though, being on a weightless journey does help hugely with sobriety. When I look at my daily calories now I think wow how on earth did I ever fit booze in too? No wonder I gained so much.
Well done to everyone losing those pounds

I am so pleased to have found this thread. I need to lose a couple of stone and have been trying forever, but never really get anywhere. The reason is the alcohol and terrible food choices I make when drunk. I have always eaten relatively healthily throughout the day, but that evening wine habit has completely wiped all that out.
I am on Day 9 and the scales arenāt really showing it, but I feel slimmer. Not sure how scales work really. I know that there arenāt as many calories going in now so just hoping I can start seeing results. Loved the paper towel analogy, thanks for sharing that @Feeling.great

This is very true and so unfair, Eric. Alas, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change

@Dazercat that is so true 
That also used to be true of me in my 20s!
Well I am checking in on the thread but still stubbornly hovering around 72kg. According to another app I have, the calories I have saved should have me drop a couple of llbs at least, but pretty much the same on the scales. I do feel slimmer, and my face looks better. Maybe the scales will catch up eventually

Weight check in 137.0 lbs
Not sure what my āproperā weight should beā¦ Iāll continue to eat healthy and exercise and go from there. And Iāll continue with my lemon drink in the mornings.

Still 72kg, but considering the amount of sweet stuff I am eating as part of my āself careā I donāt think it is bad to maintain. I am looking slimmer so that is something. Just hoping if I keep plodding away, and gradually ease off the chocolate, it will start coming off.

A few years ago, I was about 165 pounds. Iām down to 134.
A huge change cutting out the booze.

After my first year or so I just had to give up the sweets and chocolates. It was making me Iāll. And I was strong enough in my sobriety. Give it time. I ate lots of chocolate instead of booze my first year. And I know I wasnāt alone. And gelato 
Now I havenāt had any added sugar for over 6 months. No More Added Sugar
Keep up the good work Jenny.

Brilliant, thanks for sharing that. I will head over to have a read! At the moment I am sort of content to give in as sobriety more important, but really donāt want this to become a habit.

Hooray, that is so satisfying!
I have finally started to lose weight. Not doing anything differently (in fact eating too much) apart from giving up wine. Showing on the scales now, lost 0.5kg. I am hoping to get under 70kg for the first time in a few years soon
