Ok so this is trivial, but it made me really happy, since quitting drinking I have lost a lot off weight. So today when I went shopping for an interview suit I've gone down 2 whole sizes in jackets and 1 size in pants and I've lost 4 inches around my chest on my bra size. If I keep eating right and exercising I may be able to stop going to plus sized stores soon.

Oh yeah!!! I lost a ton of weight too. The pounds were just pouring off and I wasn't doing anything. I've since gained weight and now I have to work at it. But yeah, cutting out all the carbs and sugars from alcohol is awesome!! Congrats!!!!
