    I was over by 200 on Sunday and over 300 on Tuesday and 200 today. I was thinking tomorrow back to it. I was thinking of doing a cardio day today.

    Haha, are you serious? This is nothing, whether it is over your goal or over your deficit. It will make exactly no difference to your weight in the long term. Just go back to sticking to your goals.
    Thank you. I was worried

    I'm fasting for Ramadan, it was alive crazy this week lol. I was over by 200 on Sunday and over 300 on Tuesday and 200 today. I was thinking tomorrow back to it. I was thinking of doing a cardio day today.

    Go for it!

    To compensate for 700 calories over (which isn't much at all), do a 35 km bicycle ride. Easy and fun! :)

    LOL I think you are doing fasting wrong.

    Okay but really that extra 700 calories isn't all that much. I wouldn't qualify it as ruining anything. If you truly were fasting (before the over eating) you probably broke even.

    I am fasting correct, in Ramadan we eat 2 meals, one is is Sehri the other is iftar.

    I think @shadowfax_c11 was kidding! 700 calories is a very small amount. You've got this!!

    I don't how often Ramadan comes along, but at least this way you can try to plan for the next one, learn from this (small) misstep and be more prepared next time. That's a positive gain! If this is a life-long change, then making progress in any way is a win. Progress not perfection!! :smiley:

    Check out the Ramadan thread, many people there said to switch to maintenance calories for the month.

    A week is not "bad" or "good."
    What is important is whether or not your actions and decisions that week got you closer to your goals.

    Went to a works do yesterday at an 'all you can eat' restaurant. I knew in advance I'd have to do more and eat less for the next few days to make up for it. But it's a once a year event. There were some healthy choices there but I chose to repair the 'damage' afterwards! ;)
