Hey Tamara, this may be the perfect group for me. I don't log on the weekends in part because my diet is not as controlled as during the week. I am finding that I am going over my calorie count at times. I am making a new committement to just log and see how things go!

Hey everyone,

My name is Jolynn, I used to have Friday's be my cheat days, then I work out a lot on Saturday's (mostly for fun) so I started eating more on Saturday's because I was so hungry, then I figured heck why not, I'll just start over on Monday, so yeah, Friday-Sunday lately has been this huge bingefest. RIGHT NOW I am declaring Saturday night my cheat meal, no more cheat day(s), one cheat meal and I will do it on Saturday to make up for all of my working out on Saturday's. I HAVE to get the rest of this weight off NOW!! Thanks for starting this forum, it's just the kick in the pants I need!

Hi I'm Amber! *I feel like this is like Weekend Eaters Anonymous*...

Hi, My name is MJ and I am weekend slacker. (*hears many voices hollar back "Hi MJ"*)

I get tempted by whatever I see my kids/family snacking on. Then if I DO eat something bad, I screw up and don't LOG.

SO...My goal is to LOG EVERYTHING, even though it is Easter Weenend and my mom is frying her first turkey... in addition to all of the amazing sweets she always has for the family. I'm thinking of picking up a work shift (they just recently opened up for part timers to do temporary "fulltime" work for this month)

Thanks for this group!

No one's posted in a while, so I'll try to start it up again.

Weight has always been a problem since high school. In high school, I would go on what I called 'Orange Diets'. Where whenever I wanted to snack on the weekends (verrry often), I'd eat an orange. I was pre-diabetic so it worked well. Given, I did eat a half a dozen or more oranges a day on the weekends... but it definitely helped.

Something about keeping my hands busy (peeling an orange), when I am snacking helped ease the itch to snack..

Then I had the biggest weekend struggle and I cannot shake it: I drink. It used to be quite a bit in college, less so now. But happy hours, and drinks at dinner, etc. eat at me. And drinking does NOT ease my snacking cravings. So now I am snacking and drinking. And now matter how good I am all week, I am still struggling with the weekends.

I definitely need to be held accountable.

What are other people's experiences with drinking/going out with friends on the weekend? I am sure there are plenty of stories, I'd appreciate any advice. What's your advice? How do you balance a social life, but still stay on track?

Find "skinny" drinks to have & don't order appetizers. Ask your friends for help with that. Ask them to not order appetizers either or find something healthy to order. You might be surprised at how willing they will be to help you. You might even motivate them to be better.

Hello! I am a weekend binger. ugh. I am doing Jamie Eason's Live Fit Trainer and during the week I do so well, but I planned my cheat meal on Friday and its all down hill from there. Need some accountability. Feel free to friend me!

Hi Ladies!
I'm new to MFP and this group and we should breathe life into it and get it vibing again! :flowerforyou:

The weekends are the worst time for me because I lose control and go HOG wild but I don't want to do that anymore. Hopefuly, I can find the strength to change my ways with this group!

Let's help each other do better!
