Hi. I have been doing amazing for the past 10 weeks and lost 11.5 pounds so far.

The past three days I have gone over my calories by about 1,000+ calories each day.

How do you think that will affect my weight?

    3500 is a pound so look up what your maintenance cals would be see how much over maintenance you went over add those up then you'll know how much you'll prob. gain

    You might not notice it this week at all. I've done this too and I still had a loss the week after my slip up it was just smaller then it could have been. However, if you can stop it now I would recommend it .. if you keep going over your calorie goal you will most likely end up with a gain. Last week I lost 3 lbs and then this weekend I lost it and ate like a horse or like I used to eat. Polished off an entire small pizza on Saturday and then ate like crazy on Sunday and on Monday-- Red Lobster. I'm down 1.2 lbs this week but I was down another pound on Friday am before my little free for all. So today I was very good and worked out extra hard and long. So I'm right back on track and hopefully not much damage done. I think it's ok to do this now and then. You need it, after all this is a life change and I do plan on letting loose on occasion just not on a regular basis anymore. Good Luck
