OL: 40.6
Well I gained this week due to being at a work conference for 4 days. Even when I ate “healthy” I went over my calories. I ate dessert 3 times. Oh and I drank alcohol every day. So I am actually surprised I didn’t gain more! I am just sad because last week I finally made it under 200 lbs and I was SO happy. Now I am back up again. But I’ll get back on track!3 -

So glad I've lost this week, getting very grumpy with the whole thing. Upped my exercise but a few treats snuck in (mainly due to being fed up!)
SW (11/04/18) 68.4kg (151lb)
LW 67.7kg (149lbs)
TW 66.1kg (146lbs)
OL 2.3kg (5lbs)(over 3 weeks)
GW 60kg (132lbs)
How do people feel about having a "day off" from logging foods? I've logged since day one on here but Sundays I do very little (only day I don't do formal exercise) and as a result I tend to go over kcals wise...is not logging asking for trouble??? Xxx

Are you perhaps set to too aggressive a deficit? You should be able to fit a few treats in here and there, that's the whole point of a sustainable plan. You're not far off a healthy BMI (or possibly already in one depending on your height) so you should only be expecting to lose around 0.5-1lb per week.
If you already know you're going over that day, being less aware of what you're eating that day probably isn't going to help you in the long run. Why not plan your week accordingly and save a few extra cals here and there during the week (eat a little less across the rest of the week) for a Sunday or make a point of getting out for an extra walk. That said being over a few calories once a week isn't going to make too much difference either unless you're wiping out your whole week's deficit and more.
If you were set to 1lb loss per week that's a deficit of 3500 calories per week, if you stuck with it Monday - Saturday, to (theoretically because it's all estimates) you'd have to eat 4000 calories over your calorie goal to gain a pound. What you might find is that your weight fluctuates upwards for a couple of days after Sunday because you're eating more carbs/sodium than normal and that can cause water retention.3 -

Thank you, i'm set at "active", giving me about 1600kcals but most days I'm allowed extra due to exercise. I'm usually under kcals most days so probably need to stop being so tough on myself. Think I was just having an off day the other day (went to the gym that morning and cos I knew I couldn't run the next day cos we were out, I tried to run that night as well and not surprisingly ran out of energy...my periods are also looming round the corner so the hormones won't help my mood!!). Thank you, you have put things in perspective, i'll keep logging, so far i've had more loss than gain xxx4 -

I joined the gym yesterday. It feels great to be back at it. I really got in a funk and allowed myself to lack in exercise and indulge in sweets and bad food. I'm back.

I have been pretty laxe with keeping my diary accurate, and have not been focused on keeping active. Also been having some alcohol daily while gardening in the sun or gigging. . .I plan to get back into a healthier routine this week after an out of town visit with friends.
