    This is me all over - time to sort my life out, beginning this weekend :smokin:
    I have been doing this for a long time and have lost a lot and gained a little.

    My weekend eating is the determining factor of whether I will lose weight or maintain.

    If I am on track all week, but eat too much on the weekends, I maintain. If I stay on track 6.5 days a week, I lose. If I'm off track all week, I'll gain.

    A day or two definitely makes a difference.

    I make my weigh-in day on the weekends..it seems that if I know I have a weigh-in in the morning during the weekend I tend to try harder to stay on track and also log.

    Right there with ya! When I started this, it is supposed to be for the rest of my life. I thought if I was good all week, then I could be "normal" on the weekends, go out for a few drinks with friends, out to dinner, etc. I have made changes in those days, drink water in between drinks, no mixed drinks, only do protein and veggies, no bread, when eating out and immediately cut it in half to take half home. I feel like my weight loss has been slow and my weekends are probably the culprit. I am still trying to find the right balance.

    I have a really hard time with weekends! I'm 25 and deal with all my friends going out most nights/weekends. During the weekend I find myself making excuses and it works. However the weekend comes around and I feel like I either have to go out with everyone or stay in and do nothing. Going out typically prevails. Any advice for weekends? Whether its staying in or going out and staying relatively healthy

    Yes i definitely do. during the week i have set foods/breaky and really don't feel like snacking much.. but on the weekend i find it hard to have a low calorie breakie and skip that cake and coffee.

    Ive found that a scone at mackers is an okayish snack and then i go for a walk after it.

    Parties... hard!

    I am having troubles on the weekends too. But what I have decided is instead of having a cheat day, do one cheat meal or indulgence and eat light for the rest of day.

    Me too! I try to "bank" 100-200 cals a day Monday to Friday so by the weekend I can have a Saturday "off"... I'm still in the first month of calorie counting (again) so to early to tell if this will work but I'm trying to look at my calories on a weekly basis instead of a daily basis so as long as I hit my quota by Sunday night I feel okay with having a large Fri/sat.

    But like I said it's to early to tell yet if this will work...I'm also toying with a fat idea...Say I eat really low fat 3-4 times a week then I can have high fat stuff 3 days a week and theoretically it should balance out over the course of th week...I'm going to really try this from tomorrow onwards so again in a month or so I'll know if it works.
