Nothing you can do but get back up and start again though.5 -
every day is day 1 ,, even after a good day , one day at a time
good luck24 -
Day one? Had one of them. The next 570 are one at a time.4

More than I keep track of. It's always "Eh, next monday" or "1st of next month"1
-
I am giving it a week to see if my day 1 is good and if so and still a little less tonnage I will call it day 21

Why Monday? You still have Sunday.7

I don't look at it as starting over/day one, I look at it as getting back on track to keep going.5

I had a ton of them. Then I changed my mindset. One difficult day doesn't restart the count, it's all an ongoing process that continually evolves. Do it, or don't. The time will pass anyway.13

Well how can it really be day one more than once? its day 2, day 300, day 5830.. it doesn't matter how much progress you make. I've already lost 5 lbs even when i fall off track for months it's never going to be day 1 again. You might not feel like it but each time you try you're moving forward! you're one step closer to sticking to it.4

I just started tracking and my first day was waaaay over my 1350 limit-- amazed to discover I happily eat 2100 cals a day! Next day was a bit better-- 1900 or 1800 I think. I don't think it's realistic to eat under your limit on day 1 or even day 3 or 4 or 5. I just cut back a little at a time until eating around 1400 felt comfortable. It's taken 3 weeks.6

another chance, hope... good stuff. much better than giving up.0

I did that as I was going through the holidays. Then on a Sunday I sat down and wrote out an entire weeks worth of meals (breakfast, lunch, dinner). I calculated all the calories and made a chart. That made it so much easier to start. Once I had a plan it wasn't hard.2

Too many day ones to count. You just keep trying2

How do you define a "Day 1"? I start logging my food intake, and staying under my calorie goal when I see my weight go up a bit ... and then when it's back down where I want it, I ease off the logging until it starts going up a little bit again.
Life is a series of these sorts of adjustments.
But is each time I log again for a bit to make a minor correction to my weight a "Day 1"?2
