    Just curious, do you guys celebrate just one day of easter? I'm having my easter blow-out today and will expect to gain some but to get right back on track tomorrow. I was reasonably good yesterday but I'm not logging at all today but already had over a dozen chocolate eggs and 4 slices of stollen. So yeaaah, I won't be losing any fat today ;)

    Up 2 pounds today, which is scary, because I didn't go too overboard yesterday (probably went over by around 300 calories - it's hard to be log exact food/nutritional amounts at family events) . Probably lots of sodium and foods that don't want to move through my system. Today I will try and sweat, walk, and drink plenty of water.

    I, unfortunately, cannot even bother to weigh myself. Since I gain 4 pounds just by eating...well, anything...and it doesn't go away for several days, I have to just let it go. I did weigh myself this morning, and the scale said 160.9, which would be up 3.9 pounds, which is not even possible. So I am just not caring. I mean, I highly doubt I could possibly consume nearly 14,000 calories. I can barely eat 1500 on a regular day and not be sick to my stomach from overeating. So I'm going to just let it go.

    Over 608 cals. I won't even look at the scale as it would be depressing. Focused today!

    I haven't checked the scale. I don't weigh in again till Saturday. I know that whatever damage was done yesterday, I will have undone by then. :laugh:

    Not weighing myself today. I weigh in every Saturday so I will do the same this week.

    On Saturday I only went over by 79 calories. Easter Sunday I went over about 220 calories. Either way, those extra calories still dont put me at my maintenance level so I am not too worried about it. I am plan on leaving an extra 50 calories at the end of each night to make up for the 300 extra calories I ate this weekend. I have always wanted to test the theory people throw around on here that if you will still lose weight if your weekly calorie intake carries a certain deficit as opposed to your daily levels meeting the same mark. I guess I will see :ohwell:

    No gain. But I didn't do an Easter meal. Actually spent the day biking 40 miles and then running 3 miles. I was under my calories by quite a bit.

    Ate whatever I wanted and however much I wanted and weighed in about four pounds heavier this morning. More sad about the breakouts on my cheek, though. I normally limit processed foods, dairy, meat etc. but did no such thing this weekend. And my weight and skin are proof!

    Good news is I do a fresh-squeezed juice detox the first week of every month, so hopefully it will get me back on track quickly and no more big splurges like that for quite some time!

    Had Grandma's yummy cooking: ham, candied sweet potatoes :love: a roll, mash potatoes with butter and salt, broccoli and a slice of Fabulous cake. Under my calories - under my sodium (I did have my 12 glasses of water I always have I'm sure that helped) - weigh .2 less than yesterday morning. I had everything I wanted but didn't go crazy. I love this new life style! I'm proud of me! Good luck to everyone, wishing you the best!! :flowerforyou:

    I'm actually down this week, but not because I was good on Easter. I was pretty reckless all weekend, but I didn't go over my calories because I had over 1,000 banked calories to use from the weekdays, so I think I evened out. Actually, I think I would've lost more but Saturday and Sunday put a stop to that.

    I only went over my TDEE by about 400 cals and sodium not to bad, so im gonna just avoid the scale and hope to see a 3-4 lb loss on Sunday!
