One week of fun?

fell off the wagon for about a week (but sooo worth it). I shall recover. Right? Ugh, if I gained some lbs back, I might cry. Not weighing my self this week for sure. Is one week of fun totally detrimental? I cant say I went totally nuts w/ the calories but went over my 1200 everyday for sure and got little "real" exercise. So again, can one F up for about a week and not be totally screwed?

    Did you have fun? Then don't worry about it. A few pounds may creep back, but you can shake them off and get back on track. Never know, you might have done your a metabolism a favor!

    I think you can F up for a week and be okay. I went TOTALLY nuts with the calories for about 4 days in a row, plus another 3 that I was just not paying attention to counts...and weighed myself 2 days after getting back on the wagon and am "only" 1.25 lbs. up. I have an underactive thyroid, too, so I expected much worse.

    I did the same thing. Friday-Monday I didn't log anything and only hit the gym one day. I don't know how I managed but I still lost a half pound. You need to be able to enjoy life with out the counting calories hanging over your head. You also might have had a lot of sodium in your diet and gained a lot of water weight. Give it a week of being back on track and you will make up for some of the weight you gained back.

    my experience with that was it turned a week into two weeks and so on..... until I gained all my weight back except for 9 lbs, I believe if i would have been able to get back on track after a week i would have been ok in the long run. Instead it turned into a major disaster. I recently logged back on MFP and am losing again. I personally believe you can come back from a week, i came back from a year. Wishing you much success and have a great day :flowerforyou:

    It was only one week! You can get back on the wagon and do it!

    I give myself one day a week to go over. Usually it's our date night, where we go out for dinner, and watch movies... Don't hang your head, get back up and get on 'er!
