I am usually pretty compliant with my fitness regimen during the week (M-F):
- no soda
- no sweets
- no fast food
- exercise at least 1hr 3-4x (M-F)

BUT...

On the weekends I sleepover at my boyfriend's house and he's not really very supportive about me losing weight. He'll suggest to eat fast food, has issues with me leaving his place to work out, monopolizes the TV so I can't even watch my work out dvd's.......

I know I should be accountable for myself and my actions but I always fail and crumble during the weekends and end up doing unhealthy things and end up gaining the weight I'd lost during the week.

Need Help/Advice !!!

    Well, my first piece of advise is to put you first. Nothing against your boyfriend but you need to surround yourself with positive people who support your dreams and desires. Try compromising with him. Or try staying home so you can work out before going to his place. If he doesn't like that, perhaps he'll be more willing to accommodate you. Or can you get him to walk,run, go to the gym with you? A lot of times it is a case where the significant other is fearful of your success. Perhaps if you involve him in it he won't be so fearful of you moving up and moving on? That's a lot of psychological speculation, I realize. Bottom line: you come first. I have a hard time supporting relationships where the partner isn't supportive of you.

    Aside from that, just try to make the best choices you can make when you're with him. If you can't watch your DVD's etc, try doing squats, jumping jacks, push ups, sit ups, etc during commercials.

    I think I would be asking myself about who I was spending my weekend with he doesn't sound like he is the best person to be with.
