She was doing more than just drinking.. I guarantee you that
I hate alcohol
I gained quite a bit of weight when I quit drinking. It was unexpected.
She was drinking more than she admits, a couple of glasses of wine won't give anyone a hangover and if her weight changed due to quitting drinking it's because she needed a substitute which was food meaning she drank a lot.
The Kelly and Mark show is a snooze.
Kudos to her she needs that 12lbs back!
anorexic
She is way too thin. She needs to eat a hamburger 🍔 😁
I lost weight once I stopped
How much are you drinking that you have to give up alcohol!? I might have a glass of wine once a month.
Kelly my dear so gracious isn’t announcing her obvious menopause symptoms. Just eat sugar it makes it all worse like alcohol. I am 64 been there done that, except I don’t drink. It’s still kicking my butt at times but the worse is over. Not for Kelly and she is gonna do it on national TV, God bless her. It should get pretty interesting between her and Mark the next 5 / 10 years…………..
I have been joining dry january too!😊
Yeah after I stopped drinking alcohol, I ended up drinking 2-4 litres of Coca-Cola per day.
You Can't Loose Weight From Drinking When Your Going Through Menopause Because Menopause Makes You Eat Everything You See
She looks gorgeous.
She needs to eat
I prayed to God to take away the spirit of addiction, now 1 glass makes me sick or tired the next morning. The power of prayer ❤
You are still beautiful.
I stopped drinking Two years ago. I only drink non alcoholic wine. It’s tastes exactly like real wine and my liver is loving me.❤️😍
She didn’t want to ruin her buzz with food is what we can assume if she gained weight after stopping drinking.
Usually, people are bloated from drinking and lose weight when they quit.
I think Kelly is a good looking lady!🦁💋
