    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.

    lol. Calories?? Whats that! haha. Thats sound like a good time though. I haven't had good southern food in a loonnggg time ...

    Come on down! There's plenty for everyone. :-)

    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.

    lol that was epic. I'm sure i've done that before though at a BBQ. :happy:

    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.

    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.
