Well its the weekend!!!!! I haven't had a drink in 3 weeks and its my boyfriend birthday. So you know what that means???? Oh I am going in tonight. Im sorry I having a drink or 4. Ive been eating good and working out like heck.and is losing weight. I knew i would be messing up today so i played it safe this week just to have room for my overage of calories for today. I will work out to burn atleast 1000 calories.

Im planing on GOING OVER BY AT THE MOST 1200
. But im sure it will be much less if any after i work out. I already log all my meals for today.(YES IM LOGGING IT) I added extra drinks just in case.

SO WHATS THE MOST YOU WENT OVER IN CALORIES???? DONT BE AFRAID TO SHARE. I KNOW IM NOT THE ONLY ONE TO PLANN LIKE THIS . LOL

    About 2,000 calories once, I think. That's my record. Easy to do when you're staring down a box of Krispy Kreme donuts.

    Don't really know. If I know I'm going out that night, I usually have a killer workout earlier. Then follow it with a HUGE vegetable only salad prior to leaving, so that I fill up on something healthy instead of bar food. Then I go out and have whatever I want (within reason, especially if there's no designated driver). And don't worry about logging every bite.

    Just don't do it too often!

    Most that I've gone over while logging is 1500. That was on my planned monthly pizza binge.

    If you are referring to since starting MFP then I've only gone over my daily allowance by 300 ...

    Hard to say in my teen years during a buffet sitting... Probably had over 5000 calories if not more once

    Last night - 922 calories. I'm not ashamed but definitely disappointed in my willpower lately. Today is a new day and I'm about to go run :)

    Don't worry about ONE day. Enjoy life and get back to it tomorrow.

    Once a month or so, we go out with friends and I don't log dinner/drinks. Dinner because it's always at some local place that doesn't have nutritional information posted, otherwise I would still still log. I guess some would consider it my "cheat" day although I don't put a label on it. I'm sure I go over by a minimum of 1000 calories. I suppose it may have slowed down weight loss (I only had about 10-12 pounds to lose) but I am at goal so it's obviously still working for me. Plus, I know this is a lifestyle I can keep up with for the rest of my life. Have fun celebrating!

    For me, that would almost be a rhetorical question. You see, we live in North Carolina, and being military, we're not true Southerners, but man oh man, we do love their food. Every few months we'll go to an old fashioned Southern buffet after church. The kind of place where everyone in town goes there after church and there's a line out the door, with everyone dressed in their Sunday best. This buffet includes fried chicken and every conceivable delicious side dish you could imagine, all done in traditional Southern fashion. And don't let's forget dessert.

    On days like that, the word "calorie" is simply an amusing concept dreamed up by Yankees.

    I'd say Thanksgiving and Christmas were my "best" performances. I didn't exactly count, but they were each easily 4000

    Once I ate 5,000 calories in one day. It didn't feel like that much though. It was down to the alcohol! Sometimes I have a whole weekend off where I eat whatever I want, but it's always back to the diet on monday. It's not bad to eat a lot sometimes. It resets your body so you lose more weight when you next train/diet :)

    lol. Calories?? Whats that! haha. Thats sound like a good time though. I haven't had good southern food in a loonnggg time because its so hard to get true nutritional information epecially if you're not the one cooking it. Yea so i understand. that day would just be a "i'll start fresh tomorrow day" lol

    As I struggle to reach my target calorie intake, when I do "pig out" it's only by a few hundred calories. So I think I've only ever gone over by say 3-400cals.

    If we can't treat ourselves then what's the point? =)

    I had a day not that long ago that was probably close to 6000 calories. Tons of thick IPAs and Douple IPAs (and one triple), cuban sandwich, a big breakfast, another sandwich with roast beef, 3 orders of french fries with amazing dipping sauces made of sour cream and mayo, a slice of greasy pizza from one of those pizza by the slice places, a huge dessert with ice cream and brownies, 3 gourmet popsicles, some barbecue chicken and pulled pork, collard greens, potato salad, and I think I had some whisky to toast a friend's birthday......

    It was epic.

    ETA: chicken wings. 10 of them.

    Yea alcohol adds up fairly quickly espeically if you get cocktails and mix drink. I said tonight im going to try my best to get the "skinny drinks" if they have them... but you really don't get the full effect wtih those i heard. But i will try one but i most likely will just get ciroc shots and coke zero. haven't tried that mix yet either, but I will tonight.

    Not really sure, once I hit the point of no return I stop counting. But I bet it was lots :wink:

    Chinese food, plus beer, plus late night roast beef , fries and mozzarella sticks = over by a lot.


    Hence, the reason I need to lose 50 more.

    5000 over. That's with a 1200 calorie fitbit adjustment too. It was epic. All food too as I'm sober now. Taco Bell. 22 chicken wings with bleu cheese, an entire box of Samoas.... And lots more.

    I live in Colorado...multiple craft breweries up here. I racked up over 1,100 calories touring 4 breweries, and that was me taking it easy!

    If I go out drink Jim Beam & water with a squeeze of lemon. There's only 63 calories in a shot of Jim Beam.

    Also, I've found if I make a good, healthy meal that sounds like it'd be good "drunk food" for later, I skip the bar food or the late night indulgence in junk food knowing I have a bomb plate ready at home that I don't have to spend more money on!

    It was a couple weekends ago. I went over by 4000+. I know it was more, but some food I couldn't find in the database or it was local bakery made and they offer absolutely no nutritional information anywhere. So I know it was probably more than 4000.

    Afterwards I felt like a big fat disgusting loser. Ugh ..... It has never been worth it. It's never fun afterwards and I mentally/emotionally kick myself and berate myself for days about it.
