    You can always reset your counter, as mentioned above. Or, as I do, treat the counter not as a sign of failure, but as something that the site is using solely to count your visits. It shouldn't matter if you didn't log your food and exercise one day, if you actually kept track of what you ate and what you did. Entering things the next day is not the end of the world or "falling off the wagon." It just means you are human and humans do forget to do little things all the time. I didn't log in here for nearly a month once. I didn't let it get to me, I just updated things as best I could and continued on with my long march to lose weight and exercise more. The day counter didn't bother me in the least. I've been using MFP since February, but it says I've only been here for the last 40 days. Since I know what I've done, I'm not concerned.
