Stop drinking alcohol.... the calories are killer plus it leads to poor eating decisions and bad sleeping habits. I gave up the booze 10 months ago and have lost 75 pounds!
Great job. From what I understand, besides turning right to sugar, it actually does something with your neurons to make you feel hungry. We don't drink a lot, but I can't see giving it up.. everything in moderation.. of course to the original OP, I reaffirm to check with your doctor, depending on your personal needs, this may be a good suggestion.
