    Over but logged :). Guess I'm a freak as well.

    Not a freak. Logging. And enjoying myself - plenty of treats, but not to excess.

    Oh yeah, definitely logged...no reason to change! As the gym is closed today I'll be there tomorrow morning. It will help me to avoid the mall - my bigger temptation at this point! :bigsmile:

    Another freak here! Logged in at 2k over and, because I'm in the UK, I get to do it all over again tomorrow! Hurrah for Boxing Day!

    Might go for a wee walk tomorrow though...

    Always logging, over 600 days and counting.

    Logged Christmas Eve and will log Christmas day tomorrow or later tonight. But logging doesn't mean I didn't go hog wild; I just like data :smile: (and my data is likely crap, since I've been eating and drinking like someone who drinks and is celebrating with family and friends).

    I logged to the best of my ability, but have a feeling I estimated too high, but in the end I don't really care.

    Please assure me I'm not alone here. ;)

    You are not alone. Logged every morsel. Over by 55 calories.

    Logged in AND did my 50 min. circuit training program (with my husband's encouragement & my 6 yr. old joining in).
    Let the freak flag fly :)

    Logged but doubt the accuracy. Just want to stay in the habit of logging. Ate way too stinking much today and I'm feeling physically miserable. But, I know I'll get back on the wagon tomorrow and that's ok.

    I logged but I don't consider it being a freak. It's a helpful habit and I like it.

    I logged and walked 4+ miles even though I indulged in Chinese food for dinner.....holy sodium! I am still under my daily goal for the day but feel guilty. I must keep reminding myself this is a lifestyle change so I saw no need to skip a day of logging.

    I'm logging. Going to be way over, but one day won't kill me.

    Reports as ordered.

    (ETA yes logging, but not caring about a calorie goal today. It's just nice to be able to include these weeks when doing calculations.)

    Same here.

    I came in a few under on calories. The holidays are not getting a chance to mess with my progress.

    *raises hand* Present and accounted for! I logged. I'm 1000 calories over goal and I've done pretty much nothing today but read, talk on the phone, and play a computer game. Ugly as it is, I now know just how dangerous (and nauseating) it is to have a ginormous chocolate bar in my house!

    Still learning portion reality. Maybe when I reach maintenance in 2 years I can skip logging. Too easy for me to forget and fall into grazing. I suspect I used to graze at a rate of 300 calories per hour. Happy freak

    I am logging... and just like Thanksgiving I am not worrying about it if I go over. I am over some days. I am under others. But week by week I am steady.


    Slow but steady ... I am going to keep on losing 1.5 lbs / week. If i don't track, how am I going to up my cardio later in the week to get my week back on track?

    I logged, but I ate with my friend's family and I didn't have any idea as to nutrition info so I just used MFP's database and did the best I could! Even if it's off by a couple hundred it's nice to know approximately how much I ate! Fit in an hour on the treadmill too, so I'm feeling pretty good about today. :)

    I just threw a random amount of "quick calories" that I kind of thought would just about cover what I ate over at my parents' house today. Hard as hell to really have a concrete idea of the calories in what she cooks and bakes and it's not like she'll keep track for me, so I try to estimate on the high-end a bit if I can, round up one big number, and throw it into my diary. :P If I'm off, oh well, one day isn't going to kill my diet.
    Same here!

    I over ate today, I logged in as much as I could remember. Hopefully, tomorrow I will go back to Curves and start behaving again.

    Hurts to see it in red hope it's the kick in the *kitten* I need to get back on track. Good luck to all that did the same

    I pre-planned, pre-logged, made adjustments ; all based on my 1690 maintenance calories ( just for the 24th & 25th ) plus exercise calories and did well, including cheeses, treats, dessert and alcohol. Will do the same for New Year.
