overwhelming
There are times when I do feel overwhelmed. I struggle, as do many of you, with a combination of pain, exhaustion and depression. Coupled with almost pathological insomnia and the dark, cold winter weather, well, it just sometimes all becomes too much. I try not to dwell in it, but it's tough. What do you guys do to fight…

ordered a bodymedia armband!!
Useless post, I know. I am just excited and needed to post something. Sorry. I have been relatively successful with my weight loss journey, although recently I find myself arguing with 5 pounds or so. I need some motivation to get myself out of the winter doldrums and get a kickstart in the right direction. I gave this a…

BodyMedia Armband through the Jillian Michael's site?
I am trying to find out if there is any difference purchasing the BodyMedia Armband through the BM site as opposed to the Jillian Michael's site. I am pretty sure the only differences would be in the subscription rate, possibly, (I read that it is a little cheaper on Jillian's site) but maybe more so in the user interface.…

maintenance is tough, but......
thanks so much to MFP!!!! I admit I tend to get a little lax with maintenance. I have kept my calorie count at losing but don't really try to stay under it. I tried setting it at maintenance, but it left me no wiggle room. The way I have it just works out better for me. However, I do find myself getting a little too lax…

cholesterol frustration
I figured after losing 25 pounds and making an effort to increase my regular exercise it should have a beneficial effect on my cholesterol. I was forced to eat better in order to keep losing weight and I was actually pretty pleased with my progress. Until I got my cholesterol report. It is basically the same as last year.…

maintenance, will it really work?
Since I met my second goal weight I decided to take a break for a while and go on maintenance. The cold weather is making me ravenously hungry and rather than condemn myself to misery and failure I changed my goals to maintenance even though I eventually will try to lose another 5 pounds. The extra few hundred calories…

reducing body fat %
Thanls to MFP I have seen weight goals that I never thought I would :bigsmile: However, I am still unhappy with my body fat %. It has certainly been reduced along with my weight loss, just not enough to suit me. I was wondering if there was a way to concentrate on lowering this without necessarily worrying about losing…

what do you do when you're ravenous and baby carrots just wo
The title was supposed to read "and baby carrots just won't do it" but the last few words got cut off!!! I've been pretty damn strict with myself for close to six months now. Almost no binges, since Sept when I joined MFP I have not gone over my calories, or if I did, very little. I have lived with hunger pains and it has…

readjusting goal weight
Well, I have to admit that when I set my goal weight I just figured I'd be lucky to get anywhere near it. Fortunately, MFP has provided me with the tools so for the first time in many years (even decades) I have been able to acheive slow and steady loss. I actually lost some weight before I found this place, so I have been…
