    It's one meal. Eat it, enjoy it. Get back on track tomorrow and drink lotsa water.

    So is the main thing to look for Sodium and water retention? or will it just dissapear the week after? I.e it may not show loss this time but it would be nearer double the week after? And also how do I prevent the water weight? Drinking water before and/or after the meal and the next day? Cheers
  • Avoid water weight? Why? It may be time to sit down and work out what you are ultimately trying to achieve. Are you trying to live a more healthy and sustainable lifestyle or are you trying to outsmart a set of scales?

    I had leftover curry and chips for my tea last night. Even had a couple of beers.

    It matters not.

    All the advice in here is spot on. - it is a long term lifestyle choice you are making here - to be fair, I'd only say that eating a full portion of curry, rice and a naan is pretty bloody good going for anyone! I could never finish a full dish even when I cared little for losing weight.

    I have a stinky *kitten* today..but it is the price you pay..

    Obviously the first point you make, but I am just unsure if drinking lots of water will prevent my body storing extra water weight due to high sodium. I've averaged 3lbs per week since the start of Jan and I have no plans to stop and if the water weight comes off the next week im not so bothered, but if i can prevent it then i will

    Edit to add - stop overthinking it dude..

    Eat fewer calories than you need over a long period of time and you lose weight.

    settle at a nice level when you feel it is right to do so - not at a number or date - and you will be happy.

    It is not rocket science
