Basic searches come up with quite a few, I feel like the target audience is mostly women though. Btw it's very scary to see the number of…

Stagnating
(Don't know that anyone will really be able to help, but I need to vent somewhere) So, I've done really well up to this point. I'm not regressing, but I'm just not moving forward. This has been a good year but also a very difficult year. Mainly just a year of changes. Zora Neale Hurston said, 'there are years that ask…

Today my emotions got the best of me
Beginning yesterday I have had issues with family and today after a 'good' day of eating within my cals I ate about 1000 cals of comfort food that I shouldnt have had but my emotions got the best of me.

Downward spiral
I feel like I'm on a downward spiral at the moment. I seem to be losing and gaining the same few pounds for the past year! Over the year I've been your typical yo yo dieter, and have tried everything but I can't seem to stick to anything for longer than around 3 months. I feel disgusting from pigging out today, and I feel…

Trying to refind motivation
So I've realized that half the problem I'm dealing with is depression due to a crappy desk job and motivation suck. My energy drags. My coworkers leave sweets in the break room. I lost 40 pounds before I entered grad school, gained back 30 during grad school. Finished grad school in June and I just can't get motivated to…

Which battle is more important to you
Losing the weight or getting your head in line with the rest of your body..... People say "you can't stick to losing weight until your head is in the right place" Do you believe in this or does working on your weight bring your head into the right place? It's a bit like the chicken and the egg?

Actual things to motivate
K. So I'm trying to come up with a list of incentives to keep me moving as I progress. I think giving incentive to this, learning to pamper my body in a healthy way as I progress in losing weight and toning, may make this work more. I've come to this conclusion because my job comes with extra incentive if I perform well,…

Help, looking for feedback/advice
Hi everyone, I first met with a nutritionist on New Year's Eve 2012, and started Jan 1, 2013 logging all my food on MFP and doing cardio and very light lifting. It was easy to find time to go to the gym (as I was in college and I had a lot of time between/after class). I was kind of antisocial at the time, locking myself…

My schedule was fairly regular and i had a good quality of sleep and enough time to do everything. I had to move somewhere else and now my commute is about one hour and…

Need A Little Motivational Support?
Hiya! I'm new to actually using MFP so I'm not sure if this is how posting a message works or if this is the right place. Apologies if it isn't! I'm also aware that there are probably lots of messages like this, so sorry for being repetitive. I started my weight loss at the end of summer - I ate right, exercised almost…

Help - gained alot
It's been three weeks since I have been binging. I have been exercising, but not as much as I was and not as intense, but still moving. I got on the scale after three weeks and it says I gained 19 pounds. I did start a new medication and did eat quite a bit, but that seems unrealistic. I am just so upset right now and…

Burning anywhere between 600-1000 per workout. Logging everything. Eating low carb mostly, limiting sugar. The scale is stuck at 145. At the end of every…

Crappy Weather
How many of you all don't feel like doing anything because of bad weather? I don't work out during a thunderstorm, gloomy / dark / cloudy days or when it's just too HOT (the closest place to swim is a state park 20 minutes away, uphill) I'm okay with the cold (because I'm ALWAYS cold, thank you menopause) and I can squeeze…
