So this week - my diet has been rubbish but due to lots of stress with funerals and birthdays and partys i though id do well just to maintain - which i did up until yesterday - now LAST NIGHT i drank 3 glasses of wine ( i only drink maybe 2 - 3 times a year) so i was a little drunk however I drank 2 pints of water before bed and got on the scales as today is weigh in day - it showed id lost 0.8lb - now my question is - is this accurae? im thinking so as i drank a lot of water to get it out of system any ideas?

    A couple of glasses a wine every now & then is certainly not going to wreck your diet & if you are staying in your calorie range you will still lose weight. Actually I have read recently that studies show that people who have a small serving of wine daily actually lose more weight than those who abstain all together.

    drinking water doesnt get anything out of your system..your body will still absorb the calories/energy from what you've taken in.

    most of us fluctuate a few lbs here and there every day..that is probably what you've done.

    you can definetly drink alcohol and still lose weight but be warned it drops your blood sugar so you will get the munchies!
