Diet but still going on nights out?

Ok, so I started a diet on Sunday and so far its going really well. I'm eating really sensibly and exercising lots. I've lost 4lbs since Sunday so its a start (I thought it was 2lb but I've just weighed myself )
Thing is, I like to go out. I'm out on Saturday for my birthday. For me, going out means LOTS of drinking followed by a takeaway on the way home. Question being, would me going out wreck all I've achieved this week?
Obviously I can cut the takeaway out and stick to diet mixers and stuff but yeah
Just worried that I'm gonna put on all the weight I've lost in one night. I still want to go out and have a good time (and yes, I like to drink). Will my diet get in the way?
Will going out for example, one a week make all dieting pointless?

just let your hair down when you want and be good the rest of the time! if you're really concerned then drink less and forget the takeaways. if you need to eat when you get home then just have some toast.
2) One night shouldn't make a difference if you're serious about it.
Franki- I don't weigh myself everyday. I weighed myself today and hadn't done so since Sunday which is fair enough, I've been on this diet for 4 days When I see that I've lost weight, it motivates me to carry on dieting. Also, I'm heavier in the evening that I am in the morning so it may well be more I've lost. Heh. I do realise weighing yourself everyday though is a waste of time. I'm not stupid
And of course one night shouldn't make a difference to me dieting, what I'm asking is, would one night a week really fuck up my diet as I drink alot. Meaning, would going on a diet be a complete waste of time if I went out once a week because if that was the case, I'd change the way I drink, not my diet.
And meh! even if it were to cock up your diet and you had a curry on the way home- it's your birthday! And, sod it, I'm sure you're only loosing weight for cosmetic reasons- you look slim in pics I've seen of you, so one blip won't make any difference if you go back to healthy eating after your hangover recovery food.
Just try to limit yourself, as hard as it can be. Maybe, still go out once a week, but only drink (or drink excessively) every other week?
The best things to drink are vodka and diet mixers, or white wine spritzers. If you are dieting you will probably find drink affects you more as there is less food to soak it up.
I don't think you really need to lose much weight, if any to be honest from pics I have seen of you, but I would concentrate more on toning up and exercise than 'dieting'.
Or try going out and not drinking. I can't do it and just feel bored but some people are okay.
and personally i don't believe in diets as such - that implies that it's only a short term measure. what i think you should aim for is more of a change in life style i.e. in your diet and regular exercise. that way you can treat yourself.
and yes, it doesn't take much to realise that being good all week and then going crazy on a night out will ruin your efforts for the rest of the week.
just be extra good the next few days
alcohol is like chocolate/crisps/burgers...if you cut it out completely, you`ll crave it, it`ll make u miserable and you`ll end up binging on it
dont deprive yourself....just dont be daft n drink blue wkd all night or lager THEN eat a chicken korma
whatever take away u get, try to get the one which is most healthy
Im doing weightwatchers, and have been for the last 4 and a half weeks now and ive been doing really well, altho i really like the good night out too and im half a mind as to whether i should go out or not!!
Like tomorrow my mate is having a party and i reeally want to go, but i know its going to ruin all my hardwork if i do.. (albeit tomorrow is my weigh day and if i lose weight it should be my weekly treat)
tis very annoying:impissed: especially if you want to go out more than once a week especially. when i go out i tend to drink aboout 5-6 double vokda and lemonades.god knows how many points thats using up
I've just been eating really healthy foods in smaller portions.
I have also been doing about 30 mins of exercise a day.
Its only water you lose in the first week anyways so I've not actually lost anything off me yet
In fact, what might be an idea is to find something you really like and is healthy, buy it and pop it in the fridge/cupboard etc. Then you know its at home, you can look forward to it, and wont feel so deprived when your friends are chomping on kebabs.
