Maybe I’ve found a new diet. Well if I have, there will be lots joining it…
Tuesday
Full breakfast courtesy of British Airways then sat on my arse all day learning things about Excel
Drove to my sisters and ate a load of snacky thai nibbly things and a Thai curry washed it down with lots of red wine and some beer

Wednesday
Drove to another course and sat on my arse all day there too before driving to my cousins and going out on the ale to the local pub and stuffing my face with nice real ale and a lamb shank in a chorizio & tomato sauce

Thursday
drove to a site and got driven around it in a 4×4 then jumped in my car and drove to Heathrow where I ate a pile of noodles in Wagamamas
Landed in Manchester and drove to a pub in the Peaks and met my mates where we celebrated my 40th birthday by drinking piles of real ale and eating massive mixed grills followed by cheese

Friday
Full english breakfast then a 15 mile Peak district ride, skipped lunch as I was still full from the last few days

Friday afternoon ate tea in liverpool airport (pie and chips) and flew to Barcelona, had a few beers in a bar before retiring to bed

I’ve lost 2 KG

and here was me actually being frightened of getting on the scales!

How could I have possibly lost weight after consuming that lot?

Clearly I’ve found my diet, and I’m going to love it.

That sounds expensive.

I’m guessing you could skip the travel bits to keep the price down?

greedy greedy pig 😉

2 litres less water in your body – all the booze has dehydrated you somewhat

Must have been the french onion soup, good healthy stuff

2kg is nothing, you could ‘lose’ that in a day – weigh yourself in the morning and again in the evening and the weight won’t be the same.

Are you sure your post about your ‘weight loss’ wasn’t just an opportunity for you to say ‘look at me, I’ve done lots of things’.

Do you keep a food diary or something, I can’t remember what I ate yesterday never mind last week.

2kg of fat loss is equivalent to a net energy loss of 18000 calories (fat is 9 calories per gramme). So my money is on a 2 litre water loss. Ergo, you haven’t lost weight, you are dehydrated.

Fat club week 1;
lost 6lb just by cutting out crap (between meal snacking) and bread (i.e. no toast with cereal, no bread with soup, no garlic bread/nann/etc with dinner)!

Still had 3 BBQs, and an almighty pissup on saturday night.

Excercise: walk of shame on sunday monring.

Fat club week 2;
lost 2lb, same diet, still getting pissed, no walk of shame, swiming 4 times, 1lb of chocolate!

Maybe we’re onto something? I told myself it was dehydration, and i’d probably not ‘lose’ anything this week after the first 6lb. But 8lb of dehydration? And its the same mid week so not just that i could be dehydrated after a weekend pissup.

Your airline food has probably given you some horrific flesh eating bug that is slowly consuming you?

diabetes

Was it a 2-flusher?

No controls whatsoever.

Weighed at the same time of day?

Before or after a meal/drink?

Your body loses water when you sleep too.

Look in the mirror and tell us you look great instead!

Well as long as you’re happy CoolhandLuke and getting in shape-everyone is unique.

Muscle wastage and dehydration. Weight loss is not the be-all and end-all.

A friend spent several weeks working odd hours, from home, on a programming project with people from all over the world. He lost weight, but his waist measurement went up…
