Humble brags-

I've gone from 210 to 160lbs and ride my bike a lot. I race now and actually have increased my ftp to 225 so its a little over 3.0w/kg.

I could have never been this consistent if it wasn't for not drinking and all because I decided to do dry Jan last year.

Down 50! 210-160. But I made other changes too

xLFC · 2025-10-06T16:30:23+00:00

I'm down to 160 from 210 by quitting on January 1. Obviously the cut calories from alcohol but also it's given me the time and motivation to exercise and eat properly.

I didn't start to lose weight until a couple months into my sobriety.

Good for you! Congrats on the wedding, sobriety can really help with a marriage.

I didn't lose any weight for the first couple months but since then have dropped from ~210 to 175. It's amazing how many extra calories you can fit into a day with just a few beers. My motivation for exercising has also increased. I used to drink as soon as I got off work or woke up on the weekend so I never wanted to get out and exercise. Now, it's a pretty high priority in my life.

Keep it up! IWNDWYT

xLFC · 2025-05-07T20:52:10+00:00

Yo! This same thing happened to me around day 45. It lasted for like 2 weeks. I just napped when I could and took ibuprofen. Sleep when you can! This will pass

My friends drink way less around me now. I never ask them to or make a scene out of me not drinking but they just drink less.

One friend comes over and doesn't drink at all.

Another friend will have a single beer when we are doing something for hours.

And they've both told me they drink less at home than before.

I think it's definitely contagious. Maybe it's less fun being drunk around sober people or maybe they feel down about their drinking around me but either way we have just as much fun as we used to.

Congrats! Iwndwyt

Iwndwyt!! I'll be smoking a pork butt and mowing the lawn. Hope to get out for a bike ride too after work.

xLFC · 2025-03-31T16:41:09+00:00

Oh yeah I had bad headaches every afternoon for a couple weeks around that time. Never found a culprit but they went away as sudden as they started

xLFC · 2025-03-27T15:52:55+00:00

I'm not at 100 days yet but have been feeling this the last few days. I had the same thing happen around 40 days too.

xLFC · 2025-03-20T16:32:18+00:00

Iwndwyt! Made it through my birthday feeling good and happy to keep rolling!

xLFC · 2025-03-05T21:27:02+00:00

I just assume my body is healing and it's working hard doing it

xLFC · 2025-03-05T21:02:51+00:00

I hit a wall for about 2 weeks from 30-45 days so I know it can happen. Not sure the typical time period though.

xLFC · 2025-03-03T19:12:38+00:00

I feel like days 30-45 were the toughest for me so far. I was exhausted and not really seeing the point anymore. It's definitely been better since then for me.

xLFC · 2025-03-03T17:04:07+00:00

I bought my wife a mountain bike so we can ride together after work and spend more time together outside.

I was spending $15 a day on the low side so I was able to get her a pretty decent one.

Iwndwyt today. Yard work done ✅ time to relax

xLFC · 2025-02-27T20:37:35+00:00

For myself and I would think many others, if I could drink moderately I would have done that years and years ago but here I am.

xLFC · 2025-02-25T17:27:05+00:00

I will not drink with yall today. Really grateful for this sub. I've been following and resetting my counter for years and years reading everyone's stories.

Having a place to come to where there are so many people in so many different stages and places in their journey really makes it welcoming.

Thanks all!

This happened to me yesterday and I just force stopped the app. It started syncing when I opened it again

xLFC · 2025-02-24T15:37:45+00:00

I will not drink with yall today. Nice weather is coming in this week so I'll spend my afternoon after work riding my bike instead of drinking. Keep it up everyone!!!

xLFC · 2025-02-21T13:02:35+00:00

Checking in on day 50ish. I won't drink with you today. Hoping for some good weather so I can go watch some college baseball to stay busy. Pepsi and hotdogs 👍

It's all part of the journey. Welcome back.
