I was reading something lately about BMI and how it's pretty flawed. I'll see if I can dig it up.

Jesysus - for someone my hight to be in the median of what that site gives as a healthy BMI they would have to weigh 10stone 10lbs.

I have made shits heavier than that.

Any of the props you see in international rugby have BMIs well into the 40s - by this reckoning they are morbidly obese - in fact they are probably the fittest guys on the pitch.

13st 6lb. So no beer from today and on the 22 of July I'll check again and see if there's any difference. Will I go out of my mind? What if I start eating cakes instead of drinking?

Quick update on the progress. I did not manage to stop drinking entirely BUT...I cut down from drinking something (anything from a couple of glasses of wine to 6 cans of guinness) most nights to drinking one night a week. I haven't changed anything else or done any excersise at all EXCEPT... I took the advice of someone else on this thread and made a conscious effort not to eat anything after 8pm (which I don't think I was doing much of anyway). I just weighed myself today at the same time of day as the first one above and having eaten the same amount i.e. nothing as it was before breakfast and guess what?

Ah fucks sake Serpico.What?

13st 1.5lb
What do you reckon? Coincidence? Bullshit? Am I having a 'thin day'? Or did cutting down my alkyhol and not excercising AT ALL reduce my weight by 4.5lb in two weeks? Is 4.5lb even that significant? I suppose if it keeps up I'll be under 13st in a week, which isn't bad.

If you drank as much as you said you did, no doubt the scale is right.

Yeah, wine with dinner most nights and then usually 5 or 6 cans of a Friday or Saturday. Usually nothing on a Monday or Tuesday. But that would not be strictly the same every week, sometimes more sometimes less depending on the social calender and time of year etc.

Is that an abnormal amount to be drinking? Doesn't everyone go out for a few pints of a Friday or Saturday and then a glass of wine or two with dinner a few nights a week? Now you have me worried. Shit, I'm off for a wee dram to calm down.
