Weight Gain after the long weeknd

So I am up 2 pounds since my last weigh in and I know it is because I get in that "long weekend" mentality. I indulged a bit too much in alcohol and dessert. I won't beat myself about it, but I was wondering do other people do the same thing?

yes it happens, just get back into it and you will be fine.0

yep....just about every weekend...I am starting to get the message that it is REALLY slowing me down, so I am going to cut back0

Yep i went for a 15 mile hike and put on 5lbs, therefore hiking is worse for you than desserts and alcohol lol0

Absolutely, not every weekend but enough so that the early part of the week is spent playing catch up! I tend to be more active on the weekend so that helps to blunt the extra intake.0

Yes it happens to me too. Especially this time of year - graduation parties don't help and we also had a gathering to welcome our new youth pastor last night - we are blessed with a guy who is great with a grill as well as others who are great bakers (we could have our own cupcake wars). I am trying to get back on track and be conscious of what I eat while at these parties.0

I do. It's part of life, and part of losing over the long term. You can't diet every single minute, and those two pounds come off almost as quickly as they come on. The main thing is to have the occasional feast, but not make it and everyday habit.0

I am totally with dianacrum on this one...it's just about every weekend for me too! It's also because i'm so close to my goal weight that I've kind of gotten the mentality in my head that I don't need to work as hard, but that's not true! I need to just get myself there and stay there!0 -
Every. Weekend.
I am real bad with self control over the weekend and usually always see a little hike in the lbs on Monday and Tuesday. As long as I keep it together during the week, I notice the trend still remains on losing weight, just not as fast.0 -
Yup, party - cake, beer, you name it, I ate it. And I got up Monday morning and went straight back into my exercise & food routine, just write it off, don't let the guilt ruin a good week!0

I was out of town for a three day weekend and I gained 2 pounds but I got back on track yesterday and lost them already. It's normal to gain a few when you cheat, just make sure you get back on track.0

Yep - I often write off the weekends! It was my husbands birthday last weekend and I just came back to work today after 3 days of indulgence. No weight change though fortunately!0

It's hard with the summer coming on but the weather allows more outside activity so it's a balancing act. Wish it was as easy to lose two pounds as it is to gain it...lol!0

Guilty on the dessert, but not alcohol ( I only drink maybe 3 times a year)0
-
I spend all week losing weight just to gain it back over the weekend. Getting on the scale on Monday morning is kinda like "Groundhog's Day" for me.0
-
I still count calories and exercise on the weekends, but I think I do indulge a bit more in fattening/sodium filled foods. I am currently weighing in on Mondays but am going to change to Fridays so I'm not coming off the "weekend-high" of all the food I have eaten, lol - you can do it - don't get discouraged0

A friends birthday this weekend, I ate (drank) a lot of calories but hey ho not going to let it bother me in the slightest. Felt like crap yesterday and had put on 4lbs, already lost 2 of them today and hopefully back to where I was last week by tomorrow. Just get right back on the horse and drink plenty of water to flush out all those toxins and you'll be laughing :flowerforyou:0

The weekends are hard on me and I don't do any alcohol or desserts. I think my problem is just snacking. I am learning as I try to get to my weight goal how to control that snacking when I am at home. For some reason, I have no desire to snack at work or during the day on the weekends. There is something in the evenings that is triggering me and it seems that Friday and Sunday evenings are especially difficult times for me.0

I have grown to dread the weekends
but like you I'm getting the message0 -
I'm there with a lot of you. I am terrible on Friday nights and Saturdays. On Sundays I normally eat too much. I'm still losing but barely... I need to get more serious. I think it's okay to let loose once in awhile but 3 days a week. Yikes! This weekend will be difficult with Memorial Day on Monday. I am going to try to "be good" every day this week/weekend except for Monday.0

I had Olive Garden this weekend and bakery cake for my niece's graduation. Got back on plan yesterday and my weight is back to what it was.0
