why do I keep failing?

I workout 5 days a week. Stick with a healthy diet during the week. Weekends I fall off the wagon. I feel so good when I eat right. Every Monday I have to start over again . Very frustrating. I haven't lost weight and I know it's because of cheating on the weekends. I've dealt with this most of my life. I always seem to be thinking about food and I don't know why. I know there's others out there the same. How do you get past this? Thai Prawn Soup Recipe Straight From The Maldives Quick to fix low calorie soups make a perfect addition to a summer meal.

Please explain the science

Yesterday I posted about how upset I was that my weight loss seems to stall when I work out... I worked out all last week, and really how it makes me feel, but like I said I either gain a few ounces or stay at the same weight week after week... If I do not work out I loose almost a pound a day... I'm eating a bit more on workouts days, but taking the advice to stay @ 1500 every day no matter if I work out or not... Bit can anyone help me on the science part of it? Is it water weight that I'm loosing? And water weight that I hold onto when I work out? I have to admit that I like seeing the numbers drop, since I'm trying to get to a healthy BMI number.... I just can not figure out why I loose so much when I'm not working out, if anyone could explain it all to me my brain would be much relieved! Stats-5'3, 42 yo female, 181.7 as of this morning....lost 41.7 pounds since March through diet & excersize...45 more to go...thanks so much!

water weight

Hello! 

So I am incredibly underweight and am trying to gain it back. I know many people post these types of things, but I was wondering how much of my weight is real and how much is water so far. I was 77 pounds two weeks ago. I worked my calories up to 1800 by adding about one hundred a week. After I reached 1800 I got hungry all the time and started adding 100 calories every two day. Once I reached 1800 my weight went to around 80 pounds where it has stayed for the past two weeks. I am now eating 2300 calories a day. How much of this is real, and when will I know if I am gaining? Also should I go to 3000 calories a day or 2500? 

Thanks!

Losing off chest and hips help

So I have 13 more pounds to go to reach my goal. Everything is good except nothing is moving off my chest and hips. I have been doing body weight and some weighted exercises as well as walking and have managed to lose about 17 lbs. I realize I'm an hourglass figure and can't shake that but really shouldn't I be losing everywhere?

Current stats: 39 (30i) -27-39 , 123 lbs 5'5" 36 yo

Yes my goal is 110 lbs, I have a very small frame with hypermobility and this weight was determined after discussing it with my doctor.  The extra weight compressed the discs in my lumbar area by 2". I've got most of my height back and working on the last half an inch.   I have most of my strength back as well.  But the weight still on my chest and hips are making it hard to get my posture back in shape.  

I can't do really heavy lifting (45 lbs max) as I run the risk of dislocating something. Jogging and running are also out of the question until I get my chest size down a bit and can actually fit into a commercially made sports bra, though I would love to get back into it.     

Is there anything I can do to encourage the weight to come off in those areas? I just don't want to get to 110 and be told I have to lose even more :( I really do like eating and as a first time dieter, counting calories sucks.
