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.0

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 water0 -

Nah I'm okay I just hate comments like that joking or otherwise, and it seems common practise on these forums.0 -

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 colliding0 -
It's likely water weight. Drink plenty of water and it will go away0
-
Sodium - lots of it in Chinese food. Dink lots of water today & it will go away. I drink a couple bottles of wine on the weekends. Wine is good. Cheers :drinker: and Good luck to ya! :flowerforyou:0

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.0

BTW.....I am also up after making my changes and working out. Don't be discouraged. It's a journey. Let's take our wine!:drinker:0

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!0 -

haha 3 bottles a night? oh god no, I must have confused you - 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 so I'm happy.

If you demand "constructive" watch your salt intake--chinese food, in the future. And I stand by my previous post. :flowerforyou:0 -
