Did I mess up my Progress?

It's not a pound of fat as I'm sure your TDEE is close to 2,000 calories so you were probably only over 1,500 or so. It's ok - we all have days like that. I ate 3,300 calories today. You may ask why? I ask why not? I felt like eating the things I did and it's a once in a while thing. If you eat properly for the rest of the week you won't have a gain, if you do it's water weight. Don't stress, it's really not so bad.

Lol, forget about it. I did the same today.

You had a good time, cheated on your diet. Be honest, tell your food diary about it, and just continue as you have tomorrow.

Ill support you, im in the same boat.

Just stay positive. If your anything like me, your tummy will soon be telling you, you did bad anyways lol.

Add me if you want, well kick that excess out the door in no time. :drinker:

One day is one day. Just let it go and move forward.

Also, life happens. You have to be able to live your life and enjoy it. The trick is to figure out a good balance between being healthy and letting yourself celebrate when something good happens.

Congratulations!

congrats on your weight loss!
personally, i think losing weight successfully also teaches us how to stay in shape after celebrations. all you need to do is to remember what you did to lose weight. on the week after the 'feast', simply go back to your weight loss habits until you see your goal on the scale again. remember NOT TO weigh yourself for 7 days after a cheat day. you will go crazy! but it's all water weight. sometimes water weight takes up to 10 days to fully come off. well, at least for me
and you actually might look 'bigger' after eating a lot. it's called a food baby. it should come off along with the water weight.
just stay calm you'll be fine!

It's unlikely you undid your progress. You might see a couple of sodium-related pounds, but that should flush out quickly. And bodies do strange things - I overate like hell over the holidays. But keeping up on my exercise somehow caused a loss of 4 pounds that week.

Besides, everyone else is right: Sometimes you have to have those high-calorie, really satiating days. It just feels good once in a while.

It's ok. you will get back on track because you know what is right and what to do. Congrats on getting on the team. have a fantastic day

It's just a road hump in a very long flat road. Just a blip. A hiccup. A minor thing. Forget it, resume normal service. Your awesome you can do it!!

Just eat better today.

I have been making good progress for the past few months, seeing very good fat loss results. But, yesterday, I had gotten news that I made my High School baseball team, I had been preparing for over a year.

So to celebrate, I had about 6.5/8 slices of a large pizza from Dominos. PLUS, I ate about 6 glazed Krispy Kreme Donuts. I had a net Calories of over 3,500, which is a pound of fat.

I feel really down on myself, what should I do to recover?

I'd guess my advice is to get real with yourself around why you celebrated an accomplishment like making it onto a sports team by binge eating. I'm not judging you. I'm just wondering if you have good understanding of why you felt like that was a reward.

Simple. You get back on the wagon and keep going.

It's not about perfect. It's about effort. And when you bring that effort every single day, that's where transformation happens. That's how change occurs.

Get back on track and forget about the mistake.

Don't do that every day and you will be fine.

The real question is: Why are you eating pizza from Dominoes? You could do much better than that. I mean, if you're going to splurge, at least make it count, right?

+1 lol. :laugh:

First of all, nobody got fat in a day. Secondly, I'm assuming you were 3,500 over your goal...you have to remember that MFP's goal has you at a deficit (i'm assuming you're trying to lose). 3,500 over or under TDEE expenditure would be a pound. Being an 18 year old male, I would assume that your TDEE is near 2,500 calories, maybe a bit more considering I"m 38 and have a desk job and other than my exercise I'm pretty sedentary and my sedentary TDEE is around 2,400 and closer to 2,700/2,800 when I take exercise into consideration.

One day can't derail you unless you let it by making this a routine habit.

Good advice. Relax and move on. Congrats on making the team!
