Weekends are my hardest too, that is one of the reasons I weigh in on Friday, I am off to a good start and I don't want to blow it! I've found that I needed to make a mental note on Thursday to see what is on the books for the weekend. If I know we are eating out, I try to see what is close to where we will be and make notes to myself what I can (or am willing) to eat there. I am getting better at making good choices.
DH was dying for some KFC this weekend, and I have told him no to that place a LOT! I figured I am in control enough to do it - so we went. We did the buffet there -I had ONE chicken breast - all skin and breading removed, LOTS of carrots, broccoli and cauliflower, a few pickled beets and then for dessert I had some of the pineapple and pears (drained of all the syrup) Was it someplace I would chose - He!! no. BUT, I made choices from what was there, and I was happy with them. AND DH is a happy camper because he got his KFC fix.
This is for the rest of my life, so for me, I need to figure out ways to eat places that are not always gonna be what I want. So far so good - it's working!
SO - just plan as much as you can, make good choices and after you get one under control, the next weekend gets easier!
I just jumped on my scale to see how much I gained from my 5 day mini vacation to Seattle - I was SHOCKED to find that I LOST a pound and hit my goal!!!! I am SO happy Normally I wait to make sure I see the number more than once on my scale - not this time, I want that 219!
Congrats to everyone, sometimes you lose, and sometimes you make good decisions and get a little more healthy!
unfortunatly iam up 1 pound. hopefully i will do better this upcoming week. i dont know what happened, i feel so bloated and iam having trouble "going" so im hoping after i get that resolved, that i go back to weight.
Great losses, everyone! And for those of you who maintained or gained, don't worry -- you have a brand new week in front of you!
I'm having a great week with lots of milestones -- and one of them is Onederland! After losing one pound a week for what seems like ages, I lost FOUR POUNDS this week and am now at 196!! I'm going to post about it in the mini-goals section.
Congratulations LISA!!! WOW - you LEAPED into onederland!!
Way to go all you loosers!!! I can't wait till Thursday - I will be weighing in a day early - we are going riding the ATV's again this weekend - so I will be checking in on Thursday instead of Friday. Seeing all these great losses sure helps keep me on track!!

Oooooh, what wonderful news! I'm delighted for you! Can't wait to join you in Onederland!
Just had to say.....
It's official ....
I now weigh less than I have for almost 6 years!!!!!!
I weigh Mondays and Thursdays. Hit 246 on Monday but wanted the confirmation. So weighed a day early. Whoo hoo
No loss, 2 lb gain! Grrrr... TOM I guess. I've stayed on plan and kept up the exercise. This is my first non-losing week. Not going to let it derail me. But it sucks just the same.
Congrats on the losses this week rockinrobin, charbar, royalsfan, Liz, penor, jennybenny, angihas, jellybelly, girlygirlsebas, shrinkingdaisy, sarah, swimgirl, chunkyteacher, ritzy, and karrier! Way to go ladies!
slash - sorry that you maintained, good luck next week, maybe you're going to have a great week next week!
babeedee and shellyknits - Sorry about the gain, but keep OP and you will see a loss!
kamily - did you adjust your starting weight up as well? Make sure you did, you still lost those pounds, after all!
Lisa - woot! You're in onederland! Congrats.
As for me, down another 3 pounds and off to adjust my tickers!
Normally I wait to make sure I see the number more than once on my scale - not this time, I want that 219! 
I can't wait till Thursday - I will be weighing in a day early - we are going riding the ATV's again this weekend - so I will be checking in on Thursday instead of Friday. Seeing all these great losses sure helps keep me on track!!
