Hi everyone. I am really enjoying this site so far. I only joined a week ago and I love the way the site keeps me accountable with my calorie counting. I also enjoy reading the message boards. I am trying to lose 40 pounds and my goal is to maintain that weight after I turn 50. (only two more years) No more yo-yoing up and down!! They say "LIfe begins at 50" and I would like to enjoy it without constantly worrying about my weight. I find weekends really difficult..anyone else??

    Hi there, and Welcome! :happy:
    YES, the weekends are SOO hard for me!:cry: I have a nice little routine set up for my Mon.-Fri. days, but then Saturday rolls around and everything goes down the hatch! And I'm talking, EVERYTHING! :noway: I guess you could say, getting my weekends a little more predictable is a personal goal for me. I know if I work at it, things will even out eventually! :bigsmile: I really wish you the best of luck, and I know you will grow to adore this site as much as the rest of us!!:smile:

    Thanks for the welcome. You are so right...it's the lack of routine that gets me in trouble. But isn't that what weekends are supposed to be about??

    Hello.......I'm with you sister, I'm 42 and have been overweight the majority of my life. As I get older the pounds seem to pile on more. Tried just about everything, and gettting desperate.. Weekends have always been a chore for me, my husband and I like to eat out on weekends. Drinking water is also a chore for me, I have tried flavored water, I have tried lemon, I have tried warm water, cold water, you name it I'v tried it.:ohwell: I'm hoping this website will help me.....
