    I'm dreading this weekend. My in-laws are in town and it's my FIL's b-day on Monday. My in-laws love to eat out when the come to visit and it's always either Olive Garden (yum!), Famous Dave's (super yum) or Red Lobster. I'm going to try so hard to pick healthy choices and not pig out (especially since I over-indulged on pizza last night :angry: ) I might suggest Red Lobster because I am not a seafood fan so I won't be tempted at all to overeat there! Wish me luck!

    Well if today is it, I am going all sweaty!! Did a 9 mile trail bike ride today and feel GREAT. It is a beautiful day and I plan to enjoy it. Thanks again for all you do on this website and message board. It is keeping me on track and away from my usual "i can think of something better to do" attitude. I have no idea in the end if I will meet my goals, but am sure going to give it my all.

    Weekends are the hardest for me - we usually end up going out to eat at least once! What I tried today was some advance planning - I knew we were going to Olive Garden, so I googled their nutrition information and decided what to eat beforehand. Anyone have thoughts on restaurants where there are good choices for people who don't want a 1,000 calorie meal?

    Haven't been having a good day per se.. The CT dye from yesterday made me very nauseous this morning, making my boss send me home. The most I've had to eat today is 10 crackers (non-salted) and toast with jam. I'll at least be under my calorie goal right? haha

    Good job to everyone else who is having a great weekend!!

    Just a reminder to everyone who wants to join, PLEASE add prplangl4 as a friend and send her your weight/goals.

    Boston Pizza has a healthy choices menu, or you could try a buffet and rock the salad bar. If you HAVE to go to Olive Garden though, you could do what I do. I split a serving of pasta into three pieces and only eat a third. This was one dish equals three meals!

    Ruby Tuesdays has redone their menu - they show the calories of their side items (zucchini and broccoli and everything) and some of their healthier choices like the salmon and tilapia...very impressed!

    Applebee's has their weight watchers section and most of it is pretty decent

    Roxxayy, I've had a lot of success with Michelle Bridges, and it's a very sensible diet - just wholefoods and exercise. You should be able to get her books (Crunch Time, the Crunch Time Cookbook and Losing The Last 5 Kilos) on Amazon.
