Days off?

I don't take a whole day off, but I do have one meal a week that I allow myself to eat what I want. It is usually on Saturday. I take a long walk/jog and burn a bunch of calories. I eat back those calories (during the week I don't eat back my exercise calories) and then some. I allow myself to go over. I have only lost weight. In fact, a couple of weeks ago I went over by 1000 calories one day and that week I lost 5.5lbs!

i take either 1 day off a week or the whole weekend depending on what I'm doing.. if I'm at work all weekend i stay within my calories but last weekend i had both days off and drank and ate copious amounts of calories and still lost 2.5lbs the week after. aslong as you can trust yourself to get back on track it does no harm i think well not for me anyway!

Definitely.

I take a day off once a week, not the entire day but before 5 pm. I will start my day with a long walk/run and a whole bunch of pull ups-sit ups etc. I will have breakfast at his favorite place and I choose where to have lunch. I have noticed that even thou I know it my day off I still wont drink soda at lunch and will go for healthier versions of my favorite foods. In the evening I will go for another set of cardio. This work for me!!!!!

Remember that if you do not have at least a little bit of the foods you love , you are prone to overeating when you get the chance tohave them
