    Today was my first real "cheat" day.i had no intentions of it but wss out with my stepson and had a couple of bits of his KFC a small portion of his fries.no nibbles inbetween, light breakfast but dinner i treated him to a pizza, mine had 1,300 calories taking me to 2500 for the day for the first time in 6 weeks and im a bit annoyed , however i found my exact pizza on here and was glad it amounted to just those calories, ive only had a cup of coffee tonight so again no nibbles and i will be back at it Monday.all calories logged, not hidden.

    Little blip

    A light breakfast and a bit of KFC was 1200 cals?

    Yes ...2 pieces of dry toast , 1 small thigh kfc and a around 15 fries ...why ?

    I’ve been pretty good and haven’t been falling off the wagon too much but yesterday I did, I had white chocolate covered cranberries and a tart....

    today I’m keeping my calories low, maybe, if not I’ll just hop on the elliptical and burn those extra calories.

    What do you all do to keep on track and not completely go off the rails?

    Go for a hike, long bike ride, or ski. Don't have the time during the work week. It's fun and rewarding and burns lots of calories, plus it's keeps me from idle snacking.

    I ''bank'' calories throughout the week so my Saturday madness still fits in with my goal on a weekly basis. I have a pretty active job so I struggle to burn as much on the weekend too. As long as I manage to actually log everything over the weekend this seems to be working.

    Drinking screws me up, I lose self-control. My weight loss rate is inverse to my alcohol consumption rate.

    Why are you under eating so much?

    My weekly net often looks like that when my Garmin adjustment is crazy high. I eat 70% of my exercise calories back and am finding that works. My trend weight loss is between .8 lb/week and 1.1lb/week....but when my goal is 1200, the net can be funny. (I am under 5'2, so sedentary goal low, use activity tracker to eat more)

    No, I meant to say mine also look like that...more of an I didn't think anything of her numbers. 1200 will always look crazy with inflated exercise.
