my friend had a zoom birthday party so I and my boyfriend decided to do a full on cheat day with tons of unhealthy food. We also had a lot of alcohol. I think I woke up severely dehydrated and that's why the scale showed that. I am dreading tomorrow's weight in to see the real damage. Also feeling very hungover so I will definitely be overeating today. Ugh.
2/07 - 62.2
The result of my Friday cheat day. It hurts a little, not gonna lie. I felt down today and ate too many snacks.
2/08 - 62.4 oh gosh. This weekend was definitely not worth it, feeling really disappointed getting back on track from today.

February starting weight: 188.2 (sodium retention)
February goal: 180
Non-scale goals:
- keep health in balance with work
- deliberate exercise minimum 4x/week
- plan meals
2/1 - 188.2 January was a struggle for me and I ended the month higher than where I started. My work commitments got in the way of exercise and meal planning/logging. Today I've planned & pre-logged my meals and I commit to a long walk. (Walk - check!)
2/2 - 185.6 yup, yesterday's weight was inflated due to sodium. Adjusted my Feb goal for where I feel my actual start for the month is. Meals planned & logged, will walk later, attitude adjusted.
2/3 - 185.0 good day yesterday reflected on this morning's scale. Zumba restarts tonight so looking forward to that. Today's meals planned and logged.
2/4 - 184.6 Zumba was fun last night, happy to post another drop. Food planned and logged; exercise planned.
2/5 - 184.8 no walk yesterday but food was good. Planning good exercise for the weekend as I think it'll make me more mindful with food choices. TGIF!!
2/6 - 184.2 good day yesterday but no exercise. Today I am going to exercise, meal plan, and grocery shop
2/7 - 186.6 gluten spike. I did get everything done yesterday, including exercise.
2/8 - 187.2 love weekends but need to control weekends
2/9 - 184.2
2/10 - 184.4 shared a bottle of wine with my hubby last night, that's the only reason I can think of that I'm up slightly this morning. Will have to pay attention and see if that's a typical reaction with my body.

So, let's chat. Cheat day? Cheat meal? How often?
For me, it easily turns into a cheat weekend, completely undoing all my progress during the week. I have a looser mindset on the weekend so tend to snack more and meals at home tend to be hamburgers, brats, hot dogs, easy stuff so I have a break from cooking. Plus, indulging at a restaurant at some point during the weekend. I need to focus on a single cheat meal during the weekend, not multiples.11 -
My name is Donna. I am 5’ 5” tall, 60 years old and from the Midwest USA.
February starting weight: 207.6
February goal: 202.6
2/01 – 207.6
2/02 - 207.6
2/03 - 208.8 I am a train wreck right now.
2/04 - I woke up running and forgot to weigh
2/05 - 208.6
2/06 - 207.2 Not much time for eating yesterday. It ended with late-night dinner of unhealthy frozen food. However, the calories must have been low for the day overall. Surprised to see this lower number.
2/07 - 207.7 Pizza yesterday with DD and DGS . A rare treat. Back on plan today.
2/08 - 207.4 Pleased that its going back down.
2/09 – 206.6 I am happy to see this. I am expecting a high-sodium social dinner tonight so I will watch my p’s and q’s today and drink plenty of water.
2/10 – 207.2 There’s that sodium bloat rearing its ugly head. Travel today will probably not help!

nikkit321 I’m in the same boat. If I seem to be doing “okay” during the week, I sabotage myself on the weekends. Especially if my hubby and I are both off work.
Just about every weekend seems to turn into a cheat weekend for me. It’s no wonder I can’t make any progress on my weight loss.3 -

Haha, yeah gotta watch out for those weekend fun times. That's what has been the hardest for me...letting the weekend get away from me and not caring again til Monday. Ideally, I like to indulge a bit more on Friday night (That's normally when my husband and I get food from somewhere and enjoy a few drinks). I try to eat super healthy during the day on Friday so I feel less bad about those indulgences. Saturday I try to do mostly healthy but maybe still something yummy. And Sunday I try to treat more like a Monday haha
I do find it helps though to have small treats throughout the week so that I don't want to binge on the good stuff on the weekend. Super light beers, and a few choc chips do the mind good! lol

So, let's chat. Cheat day? Cheat meal? How often?
For me, it easily turns into a cheat weekend, completely undoing all my progress during the week. I have a looser mindset on the weekend so tend to snack more and meals at home tend to be hamburgers, brats, hot dogs, easy stuff so I have a break from cooking. Plus, indulging at a restaurant at some point during the weekend. I need to focus on a single cheat meal during the weekend, not multiples.
Well, first off, I don't believe that deprivation leads to sustainable weight loss.
Having said that, personally I have scaled back on some things. Those who know me from these forums see that Ribs are my fave. I was having Ribs once per week when I started MFP - 2700 calories not including the rest of my day. I moved having Ribs to once per month and have lost 50 pounds. Will I be having Ribs again? Heck ya.
I still have nachos once in awhile, but have switched from spicy crumbled sausage to chicken with extra hot peppers. They taste fantastic and I have saved 500 calories on my nacho dish by changing it up a little.
I feel like it takes me 3 or 4 days to undo a cheat.
On a daily basis I eat everything that I want (not Ribs) but now I measure, restyle, and limit.
Yes, I eat chips, dip, pistachio nuts, bugles, peanuts. I keep a tablespoon and a 1/4 cup near my snacks. I factor the calories into my day. I have gotten addicted to sugar free jello and eat that while I watch TV. A whole packet makes a pretty big bowl, and the entire bowl is 20 calories.
If I am going to plan a cheat meal (not day) I eat extremely lightly and exercise a whole lot more beforehand. I still pay the price.
Now I want Ribs lol. Holding off on that until later in the month, perhaps when I have a bit more of a buffer, since my cheat meal day is more than double my usual calories. Also, it takes upward of 3 days to work it off.
I can do half portions of almost everything, but if I am going to eat Ribs I want a rack.7
