    I allready know who my enabler is...My husband. I probably do the same to him. I've known all along we should be encouraging each other in the other direction. He's trying to lose weight as well.

    I don't always have the time to log in on the weekends. Honestly, I don't even get around to replying to you all fine people like I'd like.
    I will say, since I posted this at the beginning of the week, I really have felt so motivated from you all, thanks!!

    Well keep up the great work on the giving up drinking if you felt the need. I remember those days of the late night after the bars close visits to the diners. I'm married, again, with children, again. A glass of wine is a treat for me a couple times a week, but at home it doesn't cause me to want to eat. I wish you the best of luck on your journey!

    Weekends are my biggest challenge as well! A few things that work for me -

    I make Sunday my only day to indulge (I stay on track Fri. & Sat.)
    I try to get 1 or 2 big calorie burn work outs in
    I log EVERYTHING as painful as it is!!!! Seeing those big red numbers stops me from eating so much!
    I try to get everyone on board with me - cook healthy meals with the boyfriend, suggest restaurants that have a lot of healthy options, if i'm going to a party i'll bring a couple of dishes that i know are healthy and that will be tasty to other people as well.

    Everything in moderation...it's ok to eat fun tasty things (just not the whole container of Ben & Jerry's)

    Other than that...just plain old willpower and determination!!!!!!

    Since I've started this journey, I find that I do peachy keen on weekdays, but once I hit friday, saturday & sunday, my carb-monkey jumps on my back & I migrate to beer, burgers, fries & pizza.

    Hubby & I now take Sundays & go to Six Flags, or some other venue where we have to walk, and I allow myself to eat burgers & fries & diet beer....but I have to walk it off.

    The other thing that helps deter me is watching reruns of The Biggest Loser on Netflix.

    I have the same issue, I just try to work out more on the weekends...I sometimes take two spin classes, and other times a full body weight class at the gym, depending on what we have going on.

    How long does it take for the food we eat to turn to "weight"?

    my counter attack to the weekend is to double my training sessions and go for it......
    train harder and take a rest day in the week instead of the weekend. :wink:

    i decide in advance what my weekend treat is going to be, whether a couple glasses of wine or a a nice meal. then i log it first thing saturday morning so i know how many calories i have left for the day to work with. it works well for me

    I totally hate that about myself.. I do bad on weekends.. mostly due to beer.. then the next day I want to eat everything to fix my hangover.. or at least it make a great excuse.. I recently have vowed to let myself have a healthy treat meal... maybe cheese or my fav mexican.. But not fall off the skinny trail.. and drink Mich ultra.. glad I made the choice to not let myself keep making excuses... Well see how it goes..
