Thanks everyone for your helpful tips! I will put my foot down to my family. I'm so tired of feeling like crap! They all eat way too much and could try to loose some extra pounds too. We are all so obese! It is rediculous. We are going to Disney in November and I want to shed at least 10lbs by then.

Hope I can do this. Thanks for the encouragement. I love being on mfp!!

Now this is a game changer for the meaning of your post. If your whole family, including children are obese, then you need to hold your head up high, and stage an intervention. This is a path filled with medical costs, bad health, pain, and death. I've seen it happen in my family. Insulin needles, heart surgeries, muscle infections, almost 3000 bucks in medical care a MONTH. That's what my inlaws are dealing with after a lifetime of over eating.

BEWARE of the taco salad. Usually just as bad as anything else on the menu. How did you order it? It's usually chicken or beef with tomato/lettuce/sour cream/guac/ and in a fried tortilla shell. Usually over 1000 calories. For the salad. But chips and salsa on there and it's a killer. Basically....Chinese and Mexican are places we don't even bother considering except on rare RARE occasion. Finished with Pizza Hut...which isn't even very good pizza....and that can mess up your week. Yeah..I said it...it can mess up your week. How do I know this? I would do it ALLLLL THE TIME. I'd be "so good" during the week..not eat enough calories and then make up for it in a day or two, and I'd lose/gain the same two pounds over and over again.

You are STRONG, Mama!! Put your foot down for the LIFE of your family. You sound like you are at that point of having ENOUGH, and that's a great place to be. Find restaurants that have their information online and go there...pre-plan your meal before you go, and drink lots of water...maybe even have an apple before you go....so you're not hungry looking at a menu. Workout the morning of a trip out...it makes me want to not blow it even more.

You can DO THIS!!!!! :drinker:

I've only been on here for like 15 days I think but yeah...I have noticed weekends are tough for me too and I typically end up going over my calories. Our kids are with us Fri-Sun so I find myself eating things that the kids like which I too love but might not typically eat on a normal week day. Good Luck. That is awesome that you and your husband make time for date night.

No suggestions here due to the fact I am in the same boat as you! It seems i can keep Good meal plans at the beginning of the week and throughout the week but come Friday-Sunday all my hard work goes out the door! my boyfriend also can eat anything and everything without gaining a pound which makes it very hard to make healthy meals. It's also very frustration watching him eat all the junk food I want to be eating but know the damage it will cause later! one of my biggest issues is drinking on the weekends any advice here would be great as well!

I think we are one in the same .... my boyfriend can also eat all the junk and not gain a pound and I love drinking ....sigh
