DOES ANYONE ELSE FALL OFF THE WAGON ON THE WEEKENDS?

MMMM HMMMMM BIG TIME!! This is why I never whine about not reaching my goal. I fully admit that I am a slacker lately. I am close to my goal weight so I just have gotten lazy and lost momentum. We are only human...

I am the same way with the weekends. I really tried to watch it this weekend, still eating good and having some cheats and I actually maintained from Friday morning. Good way to start the week! This weekend I tried to drink more water, like I do during the week and grabbed some healthier snacks during the day. My problems typically are at night when the kids are in bed, I snack. So I have been trying to snack a little healthier such as jello or pudding, That has seemed to help some.

Weekends are a challenge and I attack them the same way I do anything else tough in life. Bigger the challenge, the more attention I give them. I try and use the extra time flexibility to get monster burns into my week. Weekends have gone from the anchor to my week to the superstar days in my week. Events still happen and food choices are often less optimum plus alcohol comes to play but I often have negative nets on Saturday and/or Sunday.

Yes, sometimes the weekends can be difficult for me. Other times they are ok. Depends on the week, my mood I guess. Sometimes I stay on track entirely, other times I hit the ground like a ton of bricks when I fall off the wagon.

So yes, it can be a struggle for me.

I fall off every weekend.... If you find a way to stay on track please share it with me!!

I workout M-F doing weights and HIIT.
I feel that Sat and Sun should be days for me to rest.
I also like to eat fun foods, and eat a little more than usual, so I will eat up to TDEE, if I want to.

You could simply make an adjustment, and eat up to TDEE on weekends, eating foods that are both nourishing and fun.

Most weekends I can handle, but the one weekend a month that is my TOM really screws with me. I'm ravenous. It was this weekend . At lunch with a friend on Saturday and she was teasing me to stay out of the hummus before lunch came after I said I had the amount I had alotted for myself. I literally could NOT keep out of it. I guess the good thing was it's hummus- chick peas and olive oil.....not nachos with fried chips and gloppy cheese. Then we went to a party Saturday night!!!! I tried to stick with the pretzels and veggie tray, instead of the chili- which was pretty easy because the hostess (bless her) went ahead and put cheese (she wanted to try a new receipe) right in the turkey chili. So she took, turkey, beans, and tomatoes- something I could eat and put about 2 pounds of cheese it. The pot was gone by the end of the night, and since I had wine too I wasn't too hungry. But I woke up yesterday STARVING!!!!! Luckily I had not finished off the hummus the day before and had that for leftover/hangover breakfast on Sunday. I'm up 3 pounds from Friday's weigh in but I'm fairly sure that's water weight. Stupid TOM! Guys are lucky in that their weight lose doesn't get a wrench thrown in it once a month.

I'm am SO guilty of this also!!! And every monday I get depressed bc I packed on 4 lbs. I'm pretty sure its fluid, bc I lose it back by Wednesday. It makes me think... I can get past this plateau that I bring upon myself if I would just behave on the weekends!

My boyfriends birthday was this weekend, & a fall festival, & a pumpkin patch, & friends coming in town... And lots of good food! 

Feel free to add me, maybe we can coach each other through the weekends! Lol.

I occasionally fall off. LIke this past weekend, my 15-year old daugher's birthday party, so lots of junk food for the 9 girls (and us). Chinese food galore Friday, and ice cream cake, then left-over Chinese Saturday, then yesterday out for dinner on her actual birthday, more cake. This doesn't happen every weekend though.

Most weekends I'm more active than weekdays, because I have a sedentary job, then Saturday I'm up and down the stairs with 7 loads of laundry, and I hang everything up in the basement or outside, and we have a 2-storey house.

Also, I usually do a lot of cooking in large batches for freezing on weekends, and I plan healthy meals for all weekend. As a family of 4, we don't typically eat out a lot. The worst it would get is a pizza, or maybe wing night, but that's likely on a weekday, after a particularly busy and long work day, when I'm just too tired to cook, or I forgot to take something out of the freezer.

Yes, big time. I try to minimize it by getting in some exercise but my weekends are often when I regress a little. But I'm getting better at "just saying no" to the chips and dip while watching a football game with friends so I guess that's progress.

Almost every weekend I fall off the wagon. I'm not sure why. I can't even get to the gym. Seems like if I'm not in my routine of work, then gym I'm not going. I have no children or commitments holding me back, its just my inner lazy fat girl.
The same goes for my eating habits, I eat like crap on the weekends, I think part of it is my husbands influence, but he does not make me put the crap in my mouth.
Any advice for me?

It happens to us all....i've even had times where I've not only fell off the wagon but got run over by it too!! Dust yourself off and keep going!!

This post, all of it, is my BIGGEST problem. No kids, 2 dogs, a fmily of hecticness - but no real reason not to do so well. I need structure, and on the weekends that goes out the window. I don't eat "bad" per say, but there are times I'll only eat once or twice a day on the weekends. UGH!!! Glad to see I'm not alone.

For me it really isn't "Falling" as much as sprinting off of the wagon on weekends. My first goal is to do really well Monday through Friday and focus on those days, then I will introduce weekends in to the mix.

advice? for me, it just took some time of the repeated bad behaviors to realize it wasn't worth it, and learning to balance the things i like in moderation.
