in Getting Started
ok so I started MFP last week and lost over 2kg. Decided on Friday to have a Chinese takeaway(I didn't even each much), cut my normal 3 bottles of wine down to just 1 and go walking for over 2 hours yesterday. Weighed myself this morning and i've put 1kg back on!!!! what the hell.... why???!?!?!?!

    1 bottle/day or a week? It's probably water weight since you're just starting out. You definitely need to be sure you're drinking plenty of water. And even though you might have cut down to 1 bottle of wine (which is good!) there are still tons of calories in 1 bottle. I think I logged one once that was 960 (I had a bad day). Anyway, as long as it fits into your calories go for it, but just know that extra water retention will be inevitable and will likely influence your weigh-ins, especially if you're drinking a bottle a day and weighing in daily or weekly.

    Pretty sure it was a joke for clarification. Lighten up. This is a public forum, s mo they can post whatever they want, within reason. no one called you an alcoholic rofl.

    Weight fluctuates. I can go up as much as 3 lbs from one day to the next due to a ton of reasons. Water retention from exercise, sodium,if you haven't had a recent bowel movement. You're looking for a trend over several weeks, not just a week or few day span. Heck, I go up about 5 lbs ish usually just from morning to night because of food and water

    Nah I'm okay I just hate comments like that joking or otherwise, and it seems common practise on these forums.

    No one intends for it to be malicious. I've been on forums like this for years and most of the time, it's light hearted fun in the form of joking or gifs (I like gifs myself). I know not everyone likes it but I guess that's just the nature of the beast when you have a bunch of different personalities colliding :)

    It's likely water weight. Drink plenty of water and it will go away

    Sodium sodium sodium. Chinese usually has MSG in addition to salt. Mono sodium glutamate is salt also. I love Chinese but I must stay away. So much is hidden.

    Good for you for cutting the amount down by 2/3rds!

    You sound like you're British and from my experience living across the pond up in the north, 3 bottles in a day isn't unheard of,a and that's not just among younger people! You'll get no judgement from me. My friends and I were able to go through what amounted to a bottle or two EACH easily on a night out, and don't get me started on the amount of beer I was drinking every night while I was over there... of course I'd lose about 10 or 15 lbs when I'd come back to Canada for Christmas or in the summer.

    Also I notice in Canada or the States, nobody bats an eyelid when a man drinks a 12-pack of beer a couple of nights a week. Different cultures I guess.

    Also yes it's the sodium, don't sweat it!

    haha 3 bottles a night? oh god no, I must have confused you :D - normally on a weekend I will have a bottle of wine fri,sat and sunday night so 3 bottles for the whole weekend. I know its not healthy which is why I want to cut back and did so easily last weekend to just 1 for the whole weekend.

    Most importantly, I weighed myself this morning and the water weight has gone now, meaning, I actually weigh less than last week :D so I'm happy.

    Thanks for the positive comments.

    If you demand "constructive" watch your salt intake--chinese food, in the future. And I stand by my previous post. :flowerforyou:

    Old news

    Since you haven't been on MFP for long, I'm going to give you some very good advice. There is an "ignore user" feature that you can use to automatically block the posts of users that you don't like. Many people love it and vaunt that they are "blocking" you in the future. I, personally have never used it, and now I'll tell you why. The very people that make observations on your comments that rub you the wrong way may one day have exactly that tidbit of advice that can really help you out on here. Some of the most knowlegeable posters are not exactly, how should I say it," careful" in their responses. When you post, or ask a question you are opening yourself up to the world, and cannot tell people what to do--ie: don't post. So, really think about it, and make your decision--but some people cut off their nose to spite their face. I wish you all the best with your weight loss, and hope you'll be posting in the future with a sucess story. :smile:

    Snowflake. Firstly, I have been on MFP since 2011 both on the app and the forums, so I am not new. Secondly, you had no reason whatsoever to add a reply to my thread, other than to cause drama. You added nothing constructive to what I originally asked, instead you decided to jump on the bandwagon along with other users who think its clever to add stupid remarks about my alcohol intake, because you have nothing better to do with your time.

    Trust me on this, I have a lot more experience than you in every single way about the 'ways' of the internet and about what happens on the web, and on forums.

    So, with all due respect, I don't need educating by you and I certainly don't want to see you replying to any more of my threads on this website in the future.

    Thank you.
