    I comes down willpower, yes, but a huge part of that (for me at least) is planning it out before I go. Once I've resolved in my mind to not drink a six pack and eat a whole basket of fries, its easier to execute. And once you get in the habit of that, it's easier to repeat each weekend.

    I really have to go into it with an intention of "I'm going to not pig out" even though that might be the general mood. People will respect you for it, and you'll respect yourself, too. Your bank account and body will be thankful!

    planning WORKS! it helps you have more willpower

    I like seeing that I'm not the only one that messes up on the weekends. I just joined this program and love it!!! What I have figured out is that if I work out a little harder during the week and stick to the 1200 calorie plan even when it tells me I can eat more because I worked out this way if I cheat on the weekends its not as bad because I feel I have extra calories that didnt use during the week

    I agree with you 100%. I stay at the 1200 calorie mark during the week and alow myself to be less strict on the weekend. I love this post.......the weekend is to relax drink eat and be happy!

    very helpful! i agree that it has to do with will power. this weekend i think i will try and plan ahead and also eat something before i go out. it is very hard though to order a salad when everyone else is ordering cheeseburges and fries but in the end its mind over matter!

    I'm going to deluxe burger bar tonight (they have some pretty gourmet high cal burgers).I looked up the menu. I am going to order the "guilt free burger" and cut it in half. (half for lunch tomorrow) and instead of fries i'm ordering a half order of the mixed green salad. I will eat this and only this because it is in my plan :) <-- this meal came out to 350 cal. not bad eh?
    You can still have burgers!! just plan plan plan!

    I'd just switch to rum or vodka, I miss beer terribly though. Terribly

    i mess up on the weekends too lol. and i cant get myself to go out and not drink. or be the DD. I usually walk where I go, or stay the night where i hang out. if i really want to lose wieght i know i need to take a couple week break buts its hard. To do so I would have to become a hermit and just ignore everyone lol

    omg thats exactly me! lol i usualy stay wherever im at too and cant bring myself to not go out and be the DD!! lol i dont want to become a hermit either!
