If you eat off plan every time the scale doesn't budge, you may not always be as lucky as you were this time. However you may not yet have seen the effects of your cheat.

Don't be surprised if you gain a little in the next few days or the scale doesnt budge for another week now. THAT will more likely be the result of the carbs you ate yesterday.

Welcome and best of luck on your journey.
I was making a big mistake, I was drinking EAS protein shakes with 2 net carbs and no sugar or aspartame in them. I read here that those were effecting the diets in bad ways. I weighed 149 on Sunday and went up to the 154 and stuck there the days I drank the drink. I drank one yesterday before I knew they were bad.

I think I panicked about the stall too soon. I have been stuck at a certain weight for months and then feeling like I was stuck at 154 was a bummer. I haven't weighed myself yet today but I hope it doesn't go back up again.
