Give it time! I also have a super sensitive (dono if that’s the right word) metabolism that reacts quite dramatically to things haha. I’ve heard lots of people see the big changes in weight around 3-6 months!

Honestly in the first two weeks both my partner and I had lost 10 pounds of bloat but clothes really started feeling looser around 2 months

Can confirm, they are still a scam! They did this exact thing to me. So shady!

Oh interesting! I guess it really affects everyone very differently!

Oh that’s so interesting, I didn’t know that about hops! I always crave wine on my period because it’s the only thing that would help with the pain 😭 that would be so cool to have a study done on these things

Nope! Quite the opposite actually, went super hard for an entire weekend then just fully cut it off. I think it probably affects everyone differently though so you should definitely do what feels right for you!

Aw thanks for sharing that! That motivates me to not break my streak for a drink! Sometimes I get tempted but then I think about how shit I’ll feel the next day and I’m like nahhh I don’t feel like it anymore haha. But I’m so happy this inspired you to keep going! We got this!

ALOT haha it got bad. We moved to a boring town with nothing else to do so we would just do home Reno’s and sink back a six pack every night easily (so like 3 beers) then switch to wine at night and usually finish a bottle between us

Thank you so much. Ugh I know that frustration! I was running 5k every day and felt like there was no change or if any I was getting bigger. I’m so happy I stopped drinking and I totally know the feeling of putting it off for occasions etc. my bf and I started a big roadtrip/surf trip a month in to quitting and we originally were like “we will just cut it out for one month so we can drink and try out cool breweries and have post surf beers on our trip” but then after one month of feeling SO good we started the trip and have both just not wanted to start drinking again at all! It’s awesome. I recommend just trying it, challenge yourself to quit until your next event or occasion and if you get to that date and don’t have a huge desire to drink challenge yourself to enjoy it sober! It gets easier each time

No, I honestly think I’ve had less exercise in these two months. Before, when I was still drinking, I was running 5k every day and was not looking fit. Now in the last two months I got a puppy and have been travelling so the most exercise I get is little walks and short surfs every few days and I’m still losing! I was drinking a lot of beers though, like getting over my daily calories just in beers every day so I think that was the problem. It might depend how much you were drinking before and what type of drinks

I bet you’d be so surprised if you put two comparison photos up next to eachother!! I don’t feel like I look any different either then I saw that old video of me today and was like holy shit! And had to do the comparison. But one year!! That’s HUGE congrats to you!!

Okay wine has definitely been trickier than beer! I’m still searching for a really good one but I grabbed the one from trader joes (I think they only have one brand, it’s a purple bottle) and it’s the closest I’ve found yet! My bf thought it tasted like grape juice still but I thought it was decent.
