I always weigh myself after my daily ablutions, and before I have breakfast. My scales go on the X Factor spot on the bedroom floor (well, actually a knot hole in the wood) so I weigh myself in the same spot every day...!

Nov 15: 84 kilos on the nose so have lost one and half kilos. Half way there...
I’m a pretty regular first-thing-in-the-morning kinda guy.
Except today, obviously. Which I knew wasn’t going to help me.
In fact I’ve still not been. What the hell is going on?

I think just cutting out the crap should work fine. It's usually a large calorie deficit that slows your metabolism too much. Also, making sure to eat a fair quantity of protein helps your metabolic rate.

So last night went out for a curry and beer session with a mate I hadn’t seen for a while. Instead of 3/4 pints before popadoms etc etc I did this instead at the pub whisky and sodas instead of pints (still alcohol and calories but no carbs), at curry house no popadoms, no rice and shared a nann at the end didn’t feel stuffed to bursting liked I would normally

Indian meals can be ridiculously carbs heavy … we’ve often had naan, saag aloo, rice, bhajis, papadams!
Chicken Tikka with a small amount of rice is good enough for me (when cutting weight)
Is it just me who occasionally absent mindedly opens this thread hoping to see an update on their own weight? 
Didn't weight myself this morning, but I think the last two days were write offs because I have family visiting.

Any change of eating habits is going to have difficult times to negotiate. It's the nature of the beast. I think it's really important to roll with them and try get back on track as soon as is feasible. You are not alone...!
This mid-month challenge time is going to be hard . We're two weeks in and although I'm doing OK with my addiction to over eating, I need to expand the variety of my food now to keep me firmly on track. Any healthy, appetising, easy to cook/create recipes, are very welcome from anyone.

Having suffered a flare up of diverticulitis for the last 14 days I'm well over 7 lbs lost with no end in sight.
It's a mild faff but grilled chicken with a few spices is great. The M&S marinades are good for two nights and if you avoid frying the chicken it helps. Char grill some peppers to go with it, and if you fancy sprinkle on some pomegranite seeds.
Other thing which I find filling is peppers stuffed with breadcrumbs, chopped mushroom and feta. Took is from the Hairy Bikers cookbook.

I can not praise this recipe enough. It was without a doubt one of the nicest meals I have cooked in a long time. I could tell when I wa...

14st 2lb this morning, an unexpected increase of 1lb.
Hopefully just a weird blip... not alcohol induced like last weekend's one, which was less puzzling!

Ping-ponging around this week, got down to 117.9kg on Thursday which is the lowest I've been this century, currently back up to 119.4kg due to an accidential double dinner yesterday.
