Default 1000 Calories Over Today! Ouch!
Today has NOT been a good day for me at all! I sort of threw all caution to the wind, though, so I've only myself to blame.

Suffice to say that a Mexican restaurant meal + ice cream at Baskin Robbins is not exactly diet friendly fare.

I plan to put in an extra hour of workout tonight to make up the difference. Though I will no doubt be sore as heck-fire tomorrow and quite bored/grumpy with it tonight, I guess you reap what you sow!

On a unrelated note (I promise it's unrelated, as I have been very good excepting for today...) my scale seems to be playing games with me. Every morning when I weigh in I find I've "gained" another pound over night. This morning I was at 149, yesterday 148, the day before 147, etc. It's a bit weird as I really HAVE been doing well with everything until today's disaster and I've also been trying to get plenty of fluid so as to combat water retention. What's the deal?

Thanks for listening to my rants, chicks.

I should probably get on that treadmill.

Must have been something in the air today. I don't even want to know how much I went over. Two words: Chinese Buffet.

I went over by quite a bit yesterday... a huge bowl of ice cream with hard shell chocolate topping! I brushed myself off & got back on plan today though.

As far as your weight going up, I would just take the average for the week to see where you are at. Sometimes it's hard to get an accurate picture when you weigh yourself daily.

Ok, so I have a similar issue ... I'm no doctor or scientist but I swear it's water retention! After a bad meal, It takes me some time to get rid of whatever I put on ... and I can't imagine that I gain 4 lbs. from one bad meal alone right?
When I have my weekly meal cheat, I try not to eat anything too salty ... I feel like that helps with the water retention...
I wonder, are some people more sensitive to salt / water retention than others? I feel like I may have a big problem when eating salty food...!

I feel you, honey! Chinese Buffet is the most delicious and most deadly food option EVER. I barely managed to keep myself from THAT today, at least!

Thanks for all the shared stories and encouraging words, everyone. That and the 1200 calories I burnt off tonight make me feel a little more secure with my BIG mistake.

I had the same sort of issue today! My uncle is graduating his fire fighter class and they had a friends and family event including dinner. Since I'm a vegetarian I figured there wouldn't be many options for me and decided to treat myself at lunch. However, I was mistaken! Lots of pasta, potatoes, beans, corn, salads! Firemen can cook, It was so delicious! I came home and ran 4 miles on my treadmill. ugh ugh ugh. My family biggest loser weigh in is tomorrow as well. I picked the wrong day to eat!

Wow, I just wrote a similar post on the Biggest Loser Challenges thread. I was so upset that I gained 2 lbs from yesterday just by eating out (ate Thai). Right now, I'm feeling overwhelmed that I have 20-ish lbs to lose and I can't have one dinner out because it puts me back when I have worked so hard to go forward. It's just disheartening. I planned on going for a workout this morning so hopefully that will erase some of the damage... Just wanted to say that I feel you sista!

I know how you feel. I also went over yesterday! I don't know by how much, but I am determined to stay back on track today. Sigh the scale showed a 3-4 lb increase, and hopefully it's temporary. Fingers-crossed that a great workout, plenty of sleep, and plenty of water will have me go back down to where I was a couple of days ago. There is no way I could have gained 3-4 lbs overnight . I definitely did not eat anywhere near that amount of food.

I hope you had a good workout and are feeling better today!
