    I log it. Since i'm not going for a diet, more of a total change, I don't go wild on the weekends because I don't enjoy it. But if I want a slice of cake of whatever else, I log it and held accountable. Just like any other day. I think to my body it is just another day, not some magical day where i can eat whatever i want! That's just me though!!

    I log absolutely everything, every day. With the iPhone app, it's easy to log on the go.

    I log everyday, that means weekends too.... the app on my phone helps, otherwise I forget every single thing I've eaten

    Although my diet might "loosen" up a bit on the weekend...I still log EVERYTHING!!! Helps me stay on track!

    I log everything I eat, every day of the week. Using the app makes it easy. I can easily gain 5-7 over a weekend if I'm not careful. The only thing I don't log all the time is the water I drink and weight training.

    Yes, I would probably really mess myself up if I didn't log.

    Exactly that. I don't want to overdo it on the weekends with calories, and I don't want to break my streak of days logged! LOL

    I log everything...I need to hold myself accountable for my actions, there are no "free passes" for the weekend. : ) I love this Iphone app!!

    Exactly! I'm probably more apt to go slightly over my alloted calories on the weekend--but I still want to hold myself accountable and not be tempted to un-do the work that I'm doing during the week.

    I log everything, but if I go over, it's not a big deal--I just want to know what sort of damage I'm doing. :)

    I said to h3ll with it last weekend and didn't log it. Then was disappointed that it messed with my weekly average. Learned my lesson. Have to log every day!

    I log everything, everyday. If I hadn't been logging weekends I never would have realized how many calories I was drinking in a weekend! I can easily drink over 1000-1500 calories (darn you beautiful summer weather and restaurants with patios!!) in a day. If I hadn't been logging every delicious drop I would not have realized how much I had been consuming. The one thing I do differently on the weekends is I don't pre-log, but that's more because my days are less structured and I'm usually not sure what (where) I will be eating until it happens.

    I log almost everything. I usually have one day a week, It might be sunday, it might be thursday, where I "cheat". but for the most part I even log what I eat on those days but I just dont care if I go over. lol

    I log everything, every day, mainly on my phone app. Most of the time I fix the food, log then eat however that does vary especially if I know the calorie content before. Some days I pre-log if I know Im going to have a big dinner and want to work backwords.

    If I EAT it, I LOG it. No matter what. Keeps a good record to review and keeps me accountable!

    Of course. Though if I have to go over one day, I'd rather it be on my saturday. I haven't been doing this lately because I'm trying to lose (not maintain) but if I did I would just go lighter sunday.

    I log on weekends. My way of thinking is that those calories are going into my body whether its the weekend or not and I need to be accountable for every one of them.

    I use this tool to help me learn the calorie content of the things I usually eat. So, on the weekends, I tend to be even more lax than weekdays (I rarely log my evening meals). That being said, if you are still unaware of the amount of calories you are eating, it's a good idea to keep using the tools here!!! I eat the same half dozen or so things for breakfast. . . lunch is pretty standard. In fact, sometimes I know I eat LESS on the weekends just because I'm not stuck at a desk thinking about when I can eat my next snack. LOL

    If the log keeps you in check and helps you avoid overeating. . .USE IT!!!!!
