    I ate about 9,000 calories over that weekend, but I don't consider it "overeating." It was just eating. It was a lot, but there was nothing wrong with it.

    I didn't really overeat calories, but I did overeat junk. When most of your calories come from cookies and eggnog it's never a good thing!

    I ate over by about 650 calories on xmas day, but some of that was wine! I didn't overeat the other days, although I did eat some of my exercise calories, which I don't usually do.

    Over Christmas Day/Next day, I consumed a little over 8000 calories. Normal day is 1500. So about 5000 over in two days.

    I didn't really track dinner both nights... my guess doing an after the fact guess was around 200 over on Christmas eve & 600 Christmas day... I weighed on yesterday and lost around 2 and a half pounds... so I guess in the end it was no big deal...

    This last week I have been over by about 200 cals every day, Christmas was 755 over. I have gained 3 kgs so not happy. :grumble: Mind you we are having a heatwave here in Perth WA so exercise has been down as well; I ate a lot more desserts than normal; plus some alcohol.

    All the Christmas excess foods gone now or in the freezer so back to a better way of eating and some exercise (might have to be the stationary bike because heatwave continues until after New Years Day)! :laugh:

    I logged Christmas Day (for comedy value)

    An average day for me is 1545, and I ate 4536

    2991 over....Woo Hoo!

    I was straight back on my grid on Boxing day though.

    This. There's no such thing as overeating on a holiday. Enjoy guilt free time with your family.

    Didn't bother to log it. Well over....like probably in the 1500-2000 calorie over my target. Just thinking about all the breads and pies and cheesecakes..... *drool*

    That is a good attitude to have, my bf takes that attitude towards eating as well.

    I really think Christmas and Christmas Eve are over rated too.

    I tracked and was fine Monday. Tuesday I ate too much...Wednesday I ate too much...Thursday I ate eh...a bit too much. However, I worked out Monday and yesterday and today...so those calories are now torched...and moving on to torching the other stored calories hanging onto me. :bigsmile: About 70,000 of them or so...not that I'm counting...

    I honestly dont even know! I didn't do to horribly on xmas eve ( I don't think anyways....) ...but Christmas day, I had 2 meals to go to. I basically skipped breakfast, and maybe went over by 600 calories.

    I didn't go over at all, as I quickly found that my stomach can't handle a lot of the heavier foods anymore, and definitely not larger portions.

    I went over maintenance by around 1,000 cals a day, so worth it though!

    I didn't log, because it was impossible with all the grazing. I am guessing 800-1000 over each day (Christmas Eve and Day)

    I have had a couple days since 200 over. I did a quick weight check and I did not gain, yeah!
