    I went over by 900 one day, that was awful. However it turned out I wasn't eating the correct amount of calories anyway since re-calculating, it was more like 600 which isn't too bad!
    I had an amazing day of food, haha.

    I have high days and low days, I am technically over 3-4 days a week but I have a good "feed" ( about 2000-3000 over) about once or twice a month. I get back on track because I can say, "Look, you already had a treat." or 'you will be over eating next Saturday" and that gets me back to my regular clean diet.

    While logging, I believe I went over by ~2000 but averaged it out for the week with some extra cardio and exercise.

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

    While logging, in a committed fashion? Last Saturday, over 1100 over.

    But really what I wanted to say is I love your ticker picture, Jonnythan.

    I'd say be careful. Around St. Patty's Day I went over somewhere around 700-800 with a couple wine coolers and a lot of greasy food, and my stomach couldn't handle the excess food and bad quality of it. :X Was sick all night. Next time I go over it'll just be a little bit, and not for drinks or greasy food, that stuff appears best to be done in moderation.

    I think I was over by about 50 calories once ( the only time I wasn't under, in 90 days on this program), so I got on the elliptical and burned off a couple of hundred calories so I'd still be under.

    At the risk of being hated by everyone..lol....I haven't gone over since I started back in Sept. 2012. But oh, the temptation!!! I;m just really scared that if I do, I won't ever come back to eating properly.

    I have gone about 1,500 over recently: April 15 end of tax season celebration: healthy low carb low calorie bar food and drinks. :drinker:

    Since I started logging, I've gone about 500 over on a few occasions.

    maybe 500 calories over 1200. I went out to eat and I was starving! It was the dessert that did me in. I don't drink, and I don't eat fast food or a lot of carbs, so staying under 1200 is easy for me.

    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.

    This sounds like 10,000 calories to me. Very impressive.

    I had a day (this last Thursday, as a matter of fact) that I went over by 1398 calories. In my defense, it was my "cheat day" (I do this once monthly) I still track everything, but I will eat whatever I want. It was a glorious day with a Bacon BBQ Cheeseburger, French Fries, Pop, and a Dairy Queen Blizzard at the end. :devil: I do have to admit though, I was pretty nauseated after all of that :blushing:

    I have never went over since I started in January. If I want to eat more I will do extra exercise.

    Since being on MFP - probably 2500 or so while on vacation. Actually logged - about 1000-1200. The bulk of the calories are usually beer when I decide I need a night out. These are not cheat days to me, they are simply living the good life days and hanging with friends and family.

    Today is my 11 year wedding anniversary and we are celebrating by going to the Royals game. They have the best chili cheese fries and I'm going to to have some!! And probably a beer! I've been at this more than 4 months and down 27 pounds. If I'm going to keep ahead of myself the rest of my life I know there will be special occasions to splurge but make up for it the rest of the week! So celebrate when it's time to celebrate but don't make it your everyday mode! Keep the goal on the horizon and keep truckin'!!

    I have just went over by 1300 calories...eeeek!!!
    What happens to your body when you go over by that much? Will I end up gaining a lot of weight for eating a take away?

    To be honest, i really didn't think my take away pizza would have soo many calories, probably just shouldn't have ate as much but its the weekend ;)

    This post has made me feel SO much better. I have had two pretty shocking days. Today I reckon I went over by about 600. Yesterday almost 2000!

    Dieting tomorrow.

    My record in the MFP era is about 3, 000 over (approx 5, 000 on the day). Don't ask how!

    Hate to think what my pre MFP record was

    Every so often I have a few days of binging, usually totalling 6000-10000, and often coming just before that time of the month and after a run of heavy workouts. It is astonishing how quickly cookies, cheesecake, milk chocolate and ben & jerry's adds up. Glad to see I am not alone in having some heavy duty days.
