Reply from catheirne, Age 2 - 03/25/14 - IP#: 199.119.233.xxx i think its a good thing to help you reach your goal cause its something to look forward too. and don't just do it for the food, go out with your friend, make it an EXPERIENCE, something fun you can look forward to trying with your friend. one unhealthy meal is not going to keep you from your goals, as long as it's moderation, and as long as your exercising at least 30 minutes a day (somehow, walking, etc.) and eating healthy, proper amounts, you will be there in no time. and you'll feel a lot healthier and better too. GOOD LUCK :)

Reply from Emmalia, Age 15 - 03/22/14 - IP#: 65.184.171.xxx I would definitely say that if you want to go there and reward yourself..look up the nutritional facts on their food. It's all about portion control too. So when you go there split your meal in half and bring the rest home for a family member or something. You can have good yummy food its just all about portion control. If you learn how to measure your food and not over indulge in food you will loose weight even with eating mac n cheese or pizza or really whatever.
