Everyone needs help, and the first step in finding it is asking for it. I want to help everyone, but I can’t. I don’t know what your problems are. I don’t know if I am giving you ideas that you already know (and therefore am boring you to tears) or saying things are absolutely wrong for you (and am therefore making you angry and frustrated.)

Please give me feedback on the website, either in writing or via voice message, so that this show is as helpful as possible!

MYST 133: Supplements

Weight loss supplements! Are they real? Sure. Do they work. Sure. Do they work as advertised? Well, that is a very different question. Today we talk about many different weight loss supplements, including medications, supplements, vitamins and minerals.

Which do you use? I’ll give my recommendation in the episode.

Is your original plan a handoff to the running back?

Or are you going to pass to the wide receiver?

You need to have multiple plans based on what the defenders are doing. So, what happens when your weight loss plan gets sacked?

MYST 129: Are You Tripolar?

You all know about “bipolar” but what do you know about “tripolar”? This is not a mental illness, but it is a mental condition, a state of mind, which can prevent you from achieving any of your goals.

Listen for more!

MYST 128: The Big Picture

My weight loss goal is to lose 1 pound per week. That means that my daily calorie budget from LoseIt has a built-in deficit of 500 calories. On Thanksgiving, I ate more than 1300 calories OVER that budget, and yet 3 days later, my scale shows that I’ve lose 0.6 pounds in the past 7 days.

I ate like a king and am still making progress toward my goal. How is that possible? It’s because I look at the big picture. Do you?

MYST 127: How Can We Adapt

In the previous episode, part 1 of a 2 part show, we talked about factors beyond the dinner plate that make our weight problems worse. In Part 2 we will talk about how to adapt our lives so that we are able to reach out goals and yet not completely upend our lives and those who live with us.

Yes, you can eat at a family feast, be happy, enjoy delicious foods and still make progress on your weight loss goals!
