I'm back down to 260lb! Lost 5.4 over the course of the three weeks I've been out of town visiting my sister and fam.

Still stagnant on my end, but just moved back home so hoping to have better influences here!

I had always been around the 200 lb. mark, these past few years.

And although I am not an Alcoholic, I did tend to do my at-home drinking too much. Which resulted in a few "black out periods," meaning there are times (hours) I cannot remember how the evening (or some times the day) went.

But - after an especially nasty night (I was told by David) at the end of July, that of course, I can't remember, I decided to stop all my at-home drinking.....period. Drinking socially (at bars, events etc.) I can still handle. During these times, I wasn't much into public drinking, anyway.

And - after not drinking at home since the beginning of August, I found that I have (steadily) lost over 10 lbs! And it's still off me. I actually hit 189 this morning which was a nice surprise to me.

Not exactly a "weight loss program", but it sure proved to me that booze doesn't have to be a part of my home life. And I got rewarded for it!

^Beer gut's a helluva thing, innit? Congratulations on your loss.

I'm the lightest I've been in 2.5 months, even after my vacation! Trending in the right direction.

Nobody go too crazy for Thanksgiving!

How are things going with you now? And how’s your weight loss journey coming along? Honestly, at this point, I’ve decided to shift my focus a bit. Instead of stressing over the numbers on the scale, I’m concentrating more on my overall health. I started taking vitamins from Canadian Pharmacy Partner to make sure my body is getting everything it needs, and I’ve committed to doing sports regularly. I’m curious to see where this approach will take me. Maybe if I stay consistent and take care of myself the right way, the extra weight will eventually take care of itself. Right now, it’s all about building healthy habits and feeling good from the inside out.
