I too look forward to the day when I can have a beer, g & T or a glass of wine smile
I've a hosp appt. for mid Nov so I need to go alcohol free up till then. I have to admit that I feel a lot healthier since I stopped drinking. I've had no acid reflux, indigestion or heartburn issues which I'd previously spent 3 years on medication for. My main hope is that I'll be able to drink some alcohol again without it damaging my insides.

Tom Kerridge was on Breakfast TV this morning and he's lost 9 stone in 20 months, due to giving up beer and eating/exercising better.

9st!

I already exercise a lot - often more than 100miles per week on the bike at a good speed.

To be honest I was hoping to loose more than 2kg being off the beer. Trouble is I was compensating with cups of tea and Hobnobs!

Still beer free!

A week offshore helps although the amount of food I've eaten means the 75kg I weighed on Sunday will be distant memory...

I've noticed my weight loss has now stopped, probably because I'm eating more. I tend to eat more cake and chocolate now as well.
