    Hey Phil,

    Stay the course. Maybe you just need to readjust your plan. As you said, sometimes you try to do too much. Make small changes that you can maintain long term. From reading other MFP posts, it seems that slow and steady may be the best course. Like good BBQ, low and slow. ......

    Good luck.

    Thanks Lou...... I did change my calorie goal. I upped it a little so that I lose only 1 lb per week. I can eat 2500 calories a day and with the exercise I do that should be plenty........ low and slow..... I like that!!

    I've been going "low and slow"......it's been working pretty good. Lowering goals and expectations is helpful when it comes to weight loss!!

    Stay the course.....

    I weighed in this morning and was down 7 lbs. That is very dramatic and I am grateful for the loss. I have upped my calorie consumption goal to 2500 calories a day and it seems to help me stay on track. When I have a lower goal (previously 2100 cal/day) .... I would get frustrated and overeat.

    Low and slow...... is the way to go!!!

    I just reread my initial post on this thread and I had put Thanksgiving as a goal date for breaking the 300 lb barrier.

    That would be a twenty-five pound loss in less than two months. Hmmmmmm.......that is a lot. I will instead focus on "low and slow"........ then, let the chips fall where they may!!

    Looks like you are on track to reach your goal. As far as weighing in - once a week. Besides the fact that your weight fluctuates throughout the day for various reasons, once a week should provide better encouragement as the weight loss will be more noticable and therefore more encouragings. Don't forget the other measurements - neck, waist and hip. They are just as important, if not more important, than just weight loss. Good luck and it won't hurt to enjoy a great Thanksgiving dinner!

    Re the binge, most of us take a fall once in while. I always feel guilty about over indulging, but you just have to keep yourself dicisplined and enjoy the progress.
