I'm newly sober-just four months free from alcohol-and I'm starting to focus on diet and exercise now. I've got about 20 pounds left to lose. I just thought I'd introduce myself and see if anyone here is also getting fit after ditching the drink.

Happy New Year everyone! Here's to a healthier year.

    Congratulations on getting sober ♥ I walked away from alcohol a few years ago, only started addressing issues seven months - it's amazing. Happy New Year!

    I've lost 7lbs in 6 days since I gave up alcohol. I've also added apple cider vinegar. I make a yummy drink with hot water, acv lemon, cyanne pepper, and stevia. I've been drinking three times a day. I can stick to this. I've set my nutrients to low carb. The only time I've ever lost weight was by going low carb. I feel great!

    Way to go! I'm on day 6 sober. Trying to do a dry January 2017 to see what happens to my weight and state of mind.

    Congrats on geing sober. It's been a few years for me now and I dread Christmas. Not so much because I want to drink but seeing the people you love most getting wasted. I know better than to say anything though. Good on you all. I'm sure you won't regret it and life is a lot more fun sober. Truly!

    Congrats on your sobriety! I too am staying away from alcohol; only on big feast days I allow myself one glass of wine. No more at the end of the day just to unwind.
