    I don't use the word cheating, I dont cheat, I LIVE and life happens good days and bad days. I log every day, regardless. I suppose some would view my diary and declare some things cheating but I dont nor will I ever. I love living period and will not eat strictly out of a cardboard box. The log is for me anyway, so why hide something what would be the point?

    I have often completed my diary and been slightly under, then ended up having a glass of wine or eating biscuits, or even having a binge. I go back to the diary the next day and log it all in.

    No. My dairy is only open to my friends, and there's no point in cheating. That would only be lying to myself and there is no sense in that.

    No, I like to treat others as I like to be treated and I can not stand being lied to, cant stand a liar.

    I think I do the opposite, if I'm guessing how much I ate (like if I was out at a restaurant) I always try to overestimate what I had, or choose the MFP food with the highest calories. If I don't measure portions out exactly, then I try to overestimate.

    I do the exact same! That way I know at least I didn't go under! :D Nice work.

    I put everything in my diary. I may not chose the healthiest options but I keep under my goal.

    I want to see the reasons why I've lost/gained weight and by fabricating the truth I'm not going to see that.

    I actually did on my old account. I would fill it in to get the 1400 calories, but only eat 800 or so. Had an EDNOS scare and deleted my account and got better. Now I eat plenty, lift, and am healthier

    No but if I'm THAT horrible for the day I just don't log at all that day and tell my friends why. It's usually because of a holiday or special occasion of some sort that I'm taking the day off.

    I estimate my food choices (i.e. the ACTUAL amount of mustard or salsa I put in my tuna), but I always leave at least 100 extra calories at the end to account for things like that

    I can totally relate to the emotion behind wanting to "lie" about going ove your calorie count. If you are tempted to "manipulate" your diary tell yourself that we are all in this together and no one is perfect. I don't think anyone would judge you if you go over. The important thing is getting back on track again. I think the weight loss journey is not a smooth trip from point A to point B...there are so many pitfalls and rest stops along the way. I wish I had realized that myself...I would n't have gained all my weight back. All or nothing ... perfectionism can defeat us! Persistence not Perfection!!!

    Only if I can't get a good estimate of what I ate... not to lie to myself or other people to look good, it'd take a lot more than just lying about food intake for *that* to happen. :)

    Goes anyone 'manipulate' their diary, not to fool themselves but so it looks better on MFP?

    No! I put it out there for all to see. With MFP if you actualy want to lose weight there is no point in manipulating since it is not helping you. if you manipulate you will gain weight. simple as that.

    you are only hurting yourself if you do that.

    You can view my diary. I put down exactly what I ate even the things im not so proud of. I dont call it cheating I call it treating. Once a week I have told myself if I am working out daily and watching my caloric intake and water intake I have the right to treat myself to a sweet indulgence. I limit myself everyday and once a week if needed I will have an ice cream sandwich or a piece of chocoalte cake and savor every bight of it. :tongue:
