Want to finish the weekend with a healthy coup? You can catch a fun brunch with friends while you rehash the past couple of days, but you don't have to break your weight-loss routine. It always helps to get a group mentality: Share these tips with your friends, so that everyone is on the same page. Plus, if you follow these tips, you'll have more energy to keep that Sunday going strong.

• Order a Bloody Mary. The Tabasco sauce curbs appetite, and the drink itself has only 110 calories.

• Score the "slowest eater award." Try to begin eating last and pace yourself with the slowest eater, says Dr. Brian Wansink, author of Mindless Eating.
