Have you ever noticed, if you go out and just drink, come home and can't be bothered to eat ... the next morning you've lost a pound or more?

Do you log it/check in? I do. It may take me a week or more to fight my way back, but my scale SAID THAT, so i 'check in' with that new weight. I find it motivational, even tho it's probably not terribly correct at that particular time. :wink:

    It's correct, but it's most likely a result of dehydration.

    take the loss and enjoy..don't let anyone make you feel bad about it including yourself. I stopped drinking for 48 days and didn/t lose a pound lol thought i would.

    Always and my stomach looks lovely and flat haha! Guess it must be dehydration though cause my mouth generally feels like a carpet!

    Alcohol is a diuretic. You lose water weight.
