re: Just wanted to share my experience and get some tips ( and subtle brag)

That's an impressive about of weight loss in a short period of time! Congrats!

I too struggle with cutting out the booze. I don't get drunk every night, but I do have a few drinks most nights, so I sympathize with you there.

At 5'-8", 187lbs isn't a terrible weight, as I am an inch shorter and about 6lbs heavier, however I'm also 13% BF.

If you want my advice, it would be to continue with trying to improve your diet, while also adding more weight lifting to your schedule. Get your BF % down, and you can look great at 180lbs, or even 185lbs.

Like it was mentioned before, at that weight, you don't really need to lose more, as much as you need to change your body composition.
