30 Days - NO ALCOHOL - Pics

Hey guys!
So, recently I did a little experiment and said no to alcohol for a full 30 days. I was told I would see a HUGE difference and that my body would have an easier time of letting go of those nasty fat cells during this time. Well....it didn't work. At least, not for me. But I saw that "HUGE" difference in my bf over 30 days! I think if you're someone who drinks often or every day - this could be a tool you can use to drop those fat cells. But for those (like me) who don't drink very often to begin with, it probably doesn't matter very much.
Anyway, since my BF saw such a great difference I wanted to share our photos with you all. Here goes:

Thanks for posting. What did he normally drink?
Oh and one of these little guys for just being able to NOT drink and get those results :grumble: . Must be nice to be a dude!0 -

To be fair, when I drink it's usually vodka martinis or wine, and when he drinks it's usually beer. So I think because beer is LOADED with calories and carbs, that's why he saw such a difference. Also, being a dude helps tremendously. haha!0 -

My husband drinks quite a bit of beer (the carbs aren't *that* bad - like less than 25 for a 6 pack but 660 calories!) and I swear, he can walk to the mailbox and lose 5 lbs. He's on month 2 of Insanity, eats 5,000 calories a day, and is STILL LOSING FAT. See why I'm a man-hater today?

Haha true story!0 -
I tried it last Nov & I did lose but not like I've lost since March this year when I really started tracking food... I'm back to my alcohol but like you I'm not a BIG drinker. Mostly on the weekend. But congrats to your boyfriend, it seems to me that guys can quit one thing and weight just falls off them. But for us we have to WORK HARD for 1lbs... so not fair, just saying0
-
Totally agree. He lost 6.5 lbs in 30 days!!! So obnoxious because I'm a lot more disciplined than him, haha!0

I actually see a difference in you too! I think you look alot tighter, especially in the back picture0

Really?! I don't see it, but thank you for saying that! I've been sitting here BUMMED that I've made NO progress over the last 30 days :-/0 -
I agree...you have to be a drinker everyday for it be a big change for you. When I quit drinking.....I dropped 16 pounds in 2 weeks....I couldn't believe the difference and how fast the weight came off.....I was an everyday drinker!0

It seems giving up alcohol made you both a lot more tan! LOL
You guys look great0 -
I have not drank alcohol since 2nd Dec 2011, (OK, I had a bottle of wine last Sat - my 1st drink since then and will never do it again)
I have lost alot of weight and inches all over, which I do believe that giving up alcohol has attributed to but not entirely.0 -
it's interesting no? i def. see a difference w/ your BF (obnoxious lol). you look different to me too but it could be the lighting, etc.
you look great by the way! and a uncanny sidenote: in your side to side pics you look exactly like my sister in law (face). weird.0 -

Haha weird! I guess everyone has a doppleganger, right?
Agree about the lighting. In the first pic it was taken mid-day in natural light, and the second was taken in the evening with all the house lights on. Could be why we look so tan too, though I will say we were out in the sun A LOT over those 30 alcohol free days. Maybe a little of both? haha.
But yes, I think if you drink every day you'll see a change after quitting alcohol. Maybe I need to quit coffee (YIKES!) for the next 30days (bc I take milk and sugar in my coffee, so maybe cutting out the sugar will help).
Any other ideas of how I can get more toned? I have lost body fat (about 3% over the last few months) but I seem to be at another stale-mate. Maybe add in more weight lifting? What do you guys think?0 -

Thanks! You're not so bad yourself :bigsmile:0 -
Did you guys do anything in conjunction with no alcohol? Were you restricting calories, or eating maintenance calories? Did your workout change at all?
Sorry, I'm just looking for the controls in this experiment! lol0 -
When I first moved to London I drank loads and found beer. I stopped for a month to save money - lost a dress size! However, now I drink rarely so not as worthwhile giving up. Everything in moderation!0
