Been "behaving" for three weeks. All good food and minimal simple carbs with no alcohol. I lost it last night - Friday night - and scoffed a small box of Maltesers and a third of a tube of Pringles. I just could not stop myself buying them. Fortunately, did no further damage and poured water into the rest of the Pringles - to ruin them and stop me rummaging for them later - and threw them away. Lesson learned, stay away from the junk food at Morrisons......

Big test today. Failed.
Having ordered no wine in the shopping delivery, we’ve had a few missing items and the wife has gone to the shop to get them.
She’s been suggesting wine all morning and my resolve broke as she was leaving the house.
We’re having a lazy sofa day as my ankle is still swollen so I’m being sensible and resting after a few days overdoing things slightly.
My justification is that half a bottle of wine a week is hardly a bad thing and there was never any chance of it being a permanent change as it’s my one vice. So starting off with it in moderation is ok.

Moderation is the word. You can have a few glasses a week and still lose weight!

Yeah. I’m not too worried about it. Was mainly because I was trying to just have some time off due to having a lot whilst away on holiday.
Tea however is tuna and sweet potato fish cakes and brocolli/asparagus so I figure red wine is fine!

My weight was 10.51 stone yesterday morning, then I had two cheeseburgers and fries with some coleslaw and salad for lunch then a pepperoni pizza and a brownie for tea.
My weight this morning was 10.71 stone so no food for me today, I should be back on track tomorrow and will most likely have a Chinese.
My ideal weight is 10.62 stone which has a BMI of 21.7 which is spot on for my height.

Haha i'm not sure i've been near 10 stone since i was a kid! I'm sure it works for you @nlel1975 but it doesn't seem very enjoyable eating like that, to go from eating a lot one day to nothing at all and then takeaways again.
I'm up slightly to 103.2 today. Have been pretty good over the weekend, however i'm on some painkillers which seem to be really bunging me up. I feel like there's going to be a day when i do a huge poo and drop to 90kg

Sounds like a really unhealthy relationship with food.
Dropped down to 10.56 stone yesterday and had a Chinese last night, today I’m down to 10.50 stone and will have something for lunch and a pizza and fudge cake tonight.
On the days where I skip dinner I do feel hungry but it’s not that bad and I’m a healthy weight.

Agreed, it certainly isn't a method I would recommend to anyone.
Works for me and is the only way I can control my weight to keep it within a certain range. That range is still healthy. I don’t need exercise on top as well.
Had prawn and pasta for lunch and am planning on a 10” Pizza and strawberry cheese cake for tea washed down with a Coke Zero.
I was 10.50 stone this morning so with the pasta for lunch and pizza for tea I should be up to around 10.65 stone tomorrow.
I weigh myself everyday on my digital scales which has a free app to keep a record of measurements and I started on 24th April at 12.23 stone.
Weighing yourself every day like that to such exacting increments is part of that unhealthy relationship. We fluctuate quite a lot day to day just through water intake, salt intake, weight of the food we've eaten and how long it takes that food to clear out (porridge sits around for a long time for instance).
Again, agreed. I track with digital scales and sometimes weigh myself two or three days in a row (but certainly wouldn't after I know I ate a lot, like last night which was kebab night. To weigh myself this morning would be pointless) Thankfully my app gives me a 'trend' line, which is much more useful than my actual weight this morning.
Don't forget, being the right weight and being healthy are not the same thing...

This is me this year so far starting at 12.04 stone on the 30th April till today...
These weight fluctuations I’ve noticed haven’t been just this week but over 5 months so I can predict within a certain range what my weight will be.

I never said it was, I’m no athlete let’s put it that way.
Fair point it’s not a healthy diet, but I’m not 600 pounds so I can get away with it a fair bit.
I was nearly 19st a couple of weeks ago, that's not a healthy weight but my bp/bg/lipids and other health markers were all good. Weight is a tiny part of being "healthy".
I'd rather those numbers looked good than the scale weight.

I guess I'm not really sure what you're trying to achieve then? Doing unhealthy things but sticking to a weight. Is it to look good?
Personally I wanted to be healthier and hopefully live longer
My blood pressure is fine but I have a glucose intolerance so I shouldn’t eat too many sweet things, so I have health problems but I’m not a young man, I’m 46.
