How to not splurge now when you know you will for an upcoming event/party?
How do you overcome the urge to "cheat" day after day even though a party or event is 1 week away? I guess I get into the mindset if I'm going to "cheat" at that point, might as well go off the track now till then and then get back to it. Any advice would be great. Thanks.

Count calories or Carbs?
I am trying to see if counting carbs like Atkins is better than counting calories? Pro-Atkins ppl claim if you limit your carbs/sugar, your body will burn stored fat for energy, and pro- calorie counting folks claim it’s all about CICO and nothing is off limits. What is best in your opinion? Thank you.

Sodium Content of Food choices always high
I seem to go way over my daily allotted sodium allowance when tracking. I find my meals have more sodium than I prefer, but a lot of the meals are frozen which I assume pack more sodium than fresher choices.

How often do you weigh in when starting out?
I've been about 9 days into counting on MFP, feel great, and definitely see my stomach has gone down and my clothes fit a little better.

Couple startup questions!
So I am on and off to MFP, and I need to lose between 100-150 lbs to hit goal. Some say I should put my goal at 2lbs a week, some say 1lb a week.

Weight Watchers Online
Seeing if WW online has worked for anyone on here, helping you stay motivated and accountable since you are paying for it? Toying w the idea, $20 a month but kind of worried of all their “ point free” foods that you don’t track but I feel you should since they have calories in them.
