Shoot for stars and hit the moon typa thing!
20 pounds in one month, that's definitely a "shoot for the stars and hit the moon" kinda thing.
It reminds me of a few sayings I have posted on my fridge:A goal is not always meant to be reached;
it often serves simply as something to aim at.

Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss, you’ll land among the stars.

This week was a bust obviously. Didn't control portions, ate out a lot. Had way too many carbs and there you go. Starting yesterday I added powdered collagen supplement to my morning coffee for skin, nails and hopefully, belly bloat. I've just got to get back to the basics. I've been a bit depressed so I do know that I ate for comfort this week. Now that is is staying warmer I will try to move more. I am encouraged by the success stories on here so that gives me hope.

Me too my MFP friend!! I can totally relate. Sending a hug🤗8 -

*153.6* Down 8.4lbs TOTAL
N 13.25
W 36.5
Hips 1 40.5(at bones)
Hips 2 39.5(at bottom)
Sooooo I have not been on here for a while!
Fighting with depression and stress and have been focused on just getting through the days!! Getting stiff and sore from not getting any exercise and exhausted from not sleeping. So enough complaining....Goals:
1)Start recording foods again
2)Going for walks minimum 3xweek
3)Connect with friends by phone or text as we are still on Lockdown here.
Protect self from negative energies and my own worrying, guilt, stress.
Have a wonderful weekend.
Good to be back😁

I like it too. I listened to one and she said it takes sometime 14 days for the weight to go up/down. So for example: on one day you have a massive cheat day- you'll be seeing the results of that for the next 14 days. So if you have two bad cheat days then the whole month is kinda shot. She said it much better.This half my size podcast is fantastic! I've only listened to one, the latest, and it is really speaking to me. I'm going to check out her youtube vidoes as well.

@RubyRed427 I heard that too! I was shocked. It doesn't sound like it's worth it (at our ages) to have a cheat day at all.4

Not sure how accurate this number is. I actually changed my MFP goals from losing 1.5lbs per week down to 1lbs per week as I am getting closer to my goal and want to start getting a feel for what maintenance might look like. So, I ate about 100 calories MORE per day 🤷♀️ A little confusing but I’ll take it and celebrate it in lieu of the many times there is a surprise number the other way. Lol.
Have a great Friday!

I think the collagen powder in my morning coffee is helping control my appetite. Yesterday I put half a scoop in my afternoon tea and it tasted dreadful though it improved when I added a drop of honey. The strong coffee and cream must disguise the taste somewhat.7 -

I love podcasts and I love this question! I’m curious to know what others are listening to for inspiration.
For overall well-being, I love Oprah and her Super Soul Sundays
Specific for weight loss, I started listening to Half Size Me a few weeks ago and find it very helpful and informative. Wish I had been listening to that one long ago.
Thank you!!! I look forward to giving those a try!!!!4 -

I'm learning at 52 that my portions definitely have to be smaller so really have to watch the cheat days!!!5 -

I buy a delicious tasting Collagen at Walgreens and Target. It's called Vital Proteins beauty collagen (strawberry lemonade ). The container is a pink lemonade color. It also quells my hunger, I agree.4 -

Daily Macro's met? I did better this week than last and that was my goal. Little bit by little bit 🙂7 -
Check-in: Today is a rest day for swimming, but I plan on walking 3 miles, to complete a Garmin Connect challenge. I normally walk 1-1.5 miles, but I'll probably walk 3.11 miles so I can call it a 5k.
(This past week, I had a 3.8 pound gain, and I'm still up by a pound. So I've got my work cut out for me this week, to get back on track.)

Both my mom and sister asked me if I lost weight when I saw them yesterday. Yay! However I probably gained it all back at the brunch I threw. I will NOT weigh in until Friday! Back on track today.9
-
The people in charge of this website are failing miserably. It has been messed up for days!3
-
Feeling a bit discouraged as the scale isn’t budging much ... ugh... this week is a new week. I’m going to try something different to see if it helps.8
-
I decided I am done with my Stepbet app that I have been using since Jan. 1st. Average walking 35 miles per week since then. It's been 16 weeks of that daily step count of over 10,000 or so. I am so tired of walking.
I need to change it up. So, I met my goals for four months (walking a lot) and now will go to the gym and get back to the elliptical and weights. That always works for me.
Also, I got my first box of Hello Fresh. I really enjoyed the box organization (well organized) and so easy to make.
I chose the 600 calories or less meals (three meals per box). Hope that helps my weight loss.
I echo the sentiment MFP was down a lot these past few days.11
