People on here are so techy and quite rude with their "OPINIONS" arnt they! I completely agree with u I dont belive that alcohol calories are the same as food calories. I think it might have something to do with alcohol making you wee more, alot of it probably gets weed out instead of being digested like food (excuse the…

I am 0.5 heavier this morning. I had a Takeaway for last nights dinner- Lamb Curry with a Garlic naan bread and bombay potatoes. I ate at maintenance like I do every Sunday, so I am used to the scales going up a bit on a monday/ tuesday regardless if I have drank that weekend or not. Iv done this long enough now to know my…

No they are the same scales which I have had since starting, they never move from the same spot on my tiled bathroom floor. I always weigh myself in the morning after using the toilet. My deficit is set to lose 1lb per week, I am only short at 5ft 4 so maintenance is around 1900 calories per day. I definitely ate 1400…

Are you calling my scales a liar? Haha I do pee alot too :) I am 26.

In my OP I was generalising, before last night its been 4 weeks since I last had a drink. But in the past there have been a few weekends on the bounce where iv dared to enjoy life yes. The only time iv ever noticed a difference on the scales is when iv eaten loads the next day. When I eat normally it is fine!

I lose on average 0.5 - 1lb per week regardless, when I was fatter it was more like 2-3lb per week.

Nah, I dont do it very often. I barely drink at all anymore to be fair, maybe once a month if that.

Oh dont get me wrong food gets me every time! If I end up getting a greasy kebab on my way home from a night out thats a different story haha! My weight losses have slowed down recently but I put that down to me being lighter.

I weigh myself everyday and have done for over 6 months. Its as if the alcohol doesn't affect my weight, the scales behave the same on a daily/ weekly basis wether iv had a drink that particular week or been completely tea total :)

No not really I was just at a family garden party. I always drink a lot of water anyway but I woke up in the night twice and drank a full pint of water each time?

Well I drank 2 bottles of wine last night and godknows what else because I dont remember, but my weight is still the same today? I would have thought that there was too many calories in wine (if counting) for that to be actually possible? I ate a normal amount of food during the day so my food calories were ok, not under.

That isnt the context where I see that 1 liner the most... Any strength training at all would be a start for most people! I am not sure why u feel the need to be so obnoxious about it?

Amen to that :)

I havent told or suggested that anyone does anything to build muscle let alone running, im just using examples that I can relate to! Plus im not doing it to build muscle? I run because it's convenient (I can take my dogs and exercise them at the same time) I enjoy it and it helps with my stress levels after a crappy day at…

Finally Thank you!! I was losing the will to live before you came along haha :)

Maybe they didn't because its not an accurate statement? Yes I completely agree "nothing touches a programme of linear progression, resistance training" but there are also many other forms of linear progression which have there own good results too, maybe not as effective, but equally better than nothing as you say.

Well anything, swimming, cycling, rowing etc. Improved endurance comes from using your muscles more, therefore they get more efficient, am I wrong?

But you do still build muscle strength while running and other exercises (other than lifting) thats my point. Or else how and why would it get easier and your performance improve the more you do it?

So does running not build muscle then? Because my legs have got pretty solid since I started! Before running I was swimming (1 mile 3-4 times per week, fast- in around 25 mins) and I could have sworn my muscles were working and even aching afterwards then! Or does that not count? I know everyone says that if you dont lift…

No I used to hate it because it used to kill me, not anymore :) but iv always walked and love the outdoors (I sit in an office all day mon to fri) so time wise id much rather be outside than spending time in a gym, that is my main gripe. I have done weights in the past, and Body pump which I did really enjoy, but the times…

It just seems to me the way some people put it across on posts that your doing everything wrong if you're not lifting ! I see it every time I come on here lol

I usually put on 4-5lb and it stays for a whole week sometimes longer! Its a joke lol but usually by the time it goes iv lost abit more too :)

I posted similar on monday, i gained 7lb in 3 days! im still 4lb up now its not all budging :(

All these different things gangin up on me haha!

How long until it goes away then do you think? I drink lots of water every day anyway, at least 10 pint glasses.

Would that 1lb show up straight away, like within 24 hours of eating the excess food?

Doing something is better than doing nothing though? Plus I enjoy it! What difference does the time I ate make?

Thanks everyone, I have just realised that its that time of the month soon too so that probs wont be helping either! Its just a one off bad weekend iv been on track for 4 weeks straight now so I just hope its not all "real" weight gain :smile:

Wow some people put way too much effort into this for 1 meal! When I eat out (not very often) I dont log it, I Just Enjoy the food and get on with life haha

How do u know?
