I started out losing weight on a very loose “eat less, exercise more” plan and started counting calories in fitday when I had about 25-30 left to go. As for weekends, I initially approached them the same way as weekdays, logging all my calories even if I knew I went over. It still made me eat less than I otherwise would have, and I’d know what I had to do to get on track. I still count calories most days for maintenance, but on weekends I generally don’t. I don’t restrict my eating per se, but I also don’t binge just bc it’s the weekend and I figure I’m going off plan anyway so I might as well eat whatever. I just try to make healthier choices rather than the healthiest ones, and think really hard about whether or not I really really want something. Then I make my weekdays count, and doing it this way hasn’t caused me to gain back any weight Hope that helped!

I recently gained 10 pounds out of a hundred that I’ve lost and have been looking for motivation to get myself back on track. What better thing to get me back on track then fashion? =P

I’m, also, in a long distance relationship and tend to go off plan a bit during the weekends. I don’t want these times to make or break me though. It’s *so* hard to keep my head on straight when we go out though. How do you manage healthy eating and staying on track on the weekends?
