This is just me and my weird body, but I have, in some form or another, followed this formula since "the beginning" and if I behave, it rarely fails me.
I make sure I am in my calorie budget and eating very carefully M-F, and exercising hard. On Saturday, I may take a hike or do some intense yoga, but I do something DIFFERENT in terms of exercise than I did all week, and I eat withing my calorie budget, but, I may skip lunch so I can have BOOOOOOOOZE!!! or some such unhealthful nonsense. Then, on Sunday, I don't do any exercise, walking around the park excepted, and I ate whatever the heck I want, aiming for a small deficit if possible but not stressing out too much. And Monday morning I weigh in. It works for me, what can I say...
And MAN do I LOVE Sundays...
