Thanks so much for all the encouraging words! A little glad to see that I wasn't the only one that may have over indulged this weekend ;) I was hoping I would be one of those people I read about on here sometimes who "kick started" their metabolism from having a bad weekend... Now that's clear!

Thanks everyone! It really is the support of all you MFPers that keeps me going!

I'm not sure if any of y'all will come back to this post, but I wanted to say thanks for the motivation and advice. I've charged forward through the yo-yoing and kept with MFP calorie suggestion, and have continued to lose weight :) I'm down to 153 as of today (7/30). I actually feel like I'm losing weight quickly at this…

I am driving myself crazy! And you are right, I'm gauging my success/failure on the scale. I'm going to try to weight in only once a week which is going to be hard (I need the constant feedback!) but will try! And I have been weighing at the same time, right when I wake up in the morning. I'm trying to watch my sodium…

"Persistence, not perfection"... that might be the best advice yet! I have become anal with my calorie counting and second guess my accuracy all the time. Thanks for the wise words!

This was my first time posting (I've been lurking the threads for a while now) and am so happy to have the support! I checked out the menu online- I'm thinking a grilled chicken salad, no croutons, dressing on the side. As for dressing... fat free ranch, light Italian, or citrus ginger vinaigrette?
