    Don't want to sound like a spoil sport but looking at the diary its not great.

    26th May - pizza Hut & Booze
    27th - Nandos & Booze
    28th - Booze and one meal
    29th Good Day
    30th Pizza Express & Booze
    31st Harvester
    1st June - Pizza Express & Booze
    2nd - McDonalds
    3rd - Good Day

    So out of the last 9 days, you've had alcohol 5 days, and eaten taken away/ restaurant food 6 days - plus very little in the way of fruits and vegetables.

    Some of the days you seem to be consuming more calories in alcohol than food - never good - but yes it does happen.

    Maybe this moment in time was the wrong time (with birthdays etc) to try and lose weight, so just start afresh and keep drinking water, stay away from too many takeaways (once a week treat maybe?), get some exercise and get rid of those unwanted pounds!

    Another issue with eating out a lot is that you can't really trust the calorie counts to be accurate. There's nothing wrong with eating out but if you do it too much it can mess with your ability to accurately track calories, and also the sodium will cause water retention (alcohol does too) which can mask fat loss.

    Didnt even think of it like that! Some of them days I was at home ( eg. Nandos was at a BBQ- just the sauce and pizza express pizza at home)
    Its just been a bit hard birthdays bank holiday etc. Need to get focused now!
