The number on the scale is not the be-all and end-all measure of weight loss success.

I see all the time, “Muscle weighs more than fat”, and then I see 70 people jump on the person that said that about how a pound is a pound. LOL

Guess what?

1 pound of muscle takes up about ¼ of the space as 1 pound of fat.

Sooo if you are gaining muscle, but losing fat, the scale may not move, but your measurements are going to change.

Today's podcast covers this as well as some tips to keep in mind as you're losing weight and ready to throw the flipping scale out the window because it’s not moving fast enough.

About Coach Michelle

I'm coach Michelle and I am a unique weight loss coach in that for 42 years, I was on the weight loss rollercoaster. I lost a hundred pounds, three times. 

I was put on my very first diet at the age of nine, and it was a 900 calorie diet. I never want to go back there, but it was not until I was 42 that I actually figured out how to lose the weight and keep it off. At 42 I lost weight in 18 months and I’ve maintained it for seven years. 

If you do the math, that means I am 50 years old and I am still maintaining said 120-pound weight loss that took me about 18 months to achieve, and I achieved that weight loss after 40.

In today's Podcast our guest Dagmar Bouer-Prigatano helps us understand how essential oil can naturally lower our stress levels and reduce the undesirable effects of too much cortisol running through our system.

When we think of hormones, we don’t always consider that when our bodies perceive a threat, it floods us with hormones to respond to that threat. A little cortisol is a good thing. Too much and it stops weight loss.

So join us as we talk about using essential oils to manage the stress, and get back on track with your weight loss.

In this podcast, I go myth-busting.  

Fat does not make you fat, but fat does fuel your hormone balance, and it does help you balance your blood sugar so that you feel full longer, and you're able to lose weight. 

The whole premise behind keto is high fat and high protein. I don't go there because I have seen people eating unhealthy fats and processed protein in order to achieve the numbers that they get while trying to keep their carbs low.

Want to know how fat helps balance hormones, keep blood sugar steady, and keeps you full longer?

This is the podcast for you!

There isn’t a perfect meal plan for weight loss.  I am anti-diet plans for weight loss.  

I was put on my first diet at 9, and I didn’t lose weight and maintain that loss until I gave up diets and started using macros as a nutritional framework instead of a diet. 

Meal plans for weight loss for women, just stick you into someone else's idea of tasty meals.  With Macros, you can create your own version of tasty food and make it fit.

It’s time to take control of your food and build your own perfect Meal Plan to Lose weight!

Did you know slow weight loss and loss of libido are only two of the symptoms of hormone imbalance? How about nighttime eating, and thicker thighs?

It’s true! 

Let’s be honest, the hormone imbalance symptoms from menopause and perimenopause make one feel like they were hit by a mack truck full of trash.  

The weight gain, exhaustion, and bloating put ya in a pit of despair. 

In today’s episode I share some other symptoms you may not even be aware of.  

And how the women in Become A MacroUnicorn are seeing a major change in all these symptoms without a diet. 

Instead, they are using Macros Done Right to eat flexibly and yet give their body what it needs to balance their hormones naturally.

Are you a person that wants to lose weight or are you a person that does lose weight? 

Defining a weight loss identity is really the first step before you choose your weight loss plan, or define the movement you want to do.

This episode is all about your identity and what you truly feel on the inside. Now our identity is made up of all kinds of things. 

We typically form an identity in our teen years. And if you're listening to this podcast, you're probably past those teen years. But the great thing to know is, an identity is not something that you have to keep in a steady state.

We have the power to change our identity!

Listen to today's episode and learn how to be a person that does lose weight!

Let’s talk about healthy identities.

How many times a day do you say to yourself “When I reach my goal weight, I will….”. 

We often times say to ourselves, when I reach my goal weight, I'll…

• stand up for myself
• look good in those clothes
• have that confidence. 
• I will, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. 
• The list goes on and on… and on!

Sadly, it doesn't work this way. 

The only thing weight loss changes is the size of your body in the clothes you wear. If you don't have a sense of style at your current weight, you're probably not going to have this magical sense of style when you lose the weight and you get to your goal weight. 

(Which I thought was unfair, by the way, because I spent 42 years dressing out of the men's department. I really would have preferred to magically have gotten a sense of style.)

One of the things that I work with women on in my programs is looking at weight loss for weight loss. And on this podcast, we are going to talk about why it’s important to start doing those things you're putting off… while you are losing weight.

Let’s break it down and talk healthy.

Have you ever asked yourself, how can I make weight loss easier? 

So how can we make weight loss easy? 

That is one of the all-time famous questions! 

I once asked one of my clients what she searched for when she was trying to figure out how to lose weight. And she told me “I searched for easy weight loss for women over 40”.

Well doesn't that just tell a whole story. 

But the thing is we make it complicated. 

We make it complicated by trying to combine ideas like intermittent fasting and Macros, and we make it complicated by trying to layer it with keto and whole 30. 

It can be easier! But to make it easier we have got to simplify…

This podcast is all about making it easier and how to simplify.

Have you told yourself repeatedly that weight loss just feels too hard.

But what if it just feels too hard? 

What if you can't get to the point of losing weight and it just feels like everything is working against you?

How can you take this journey and actually reach your goal? 

Well, I'm going to start sounding like a broken record because last week the theme was plan, plan, plan, plan, plan. 

But you know what?

We're going to cycle that around to this week too because creating a plan actually takes some of the hard out of it. 

But there is more, so this week we are going to talk about the difference between those that lose weight and reach their goal (and stay there) and those that don’t.

Stay tuned, and let’s talk healthy!

What do you need to lose weight? Well, in the big picture, it's really kind of simple, but it feels so complicated. In my experience of losing a hundred pounds three times, to lose weight you need a few things…

• a plan for eating and movement
• to drop the judgment and track what you eat,
• eat to balance out your hormones which stops those horrible cravings 
• stop cutting your calories to nothing. 

It's not about eating less and moving more, but you do have to know what you're eating. And you do have to be able to say no, when it doesn't serve your purpose. But oftentimes we blame binge eating and we blame cravings and we blame stress, eating, and believe me I've felt and blamed all those things myself.

So today let’s talk about changing all that and create a solid plan to reach your goals!

As a result of analysis of the feedback from the Become A MacroUnicorn program, I see women that have had to use superhuman willpower to refrain from binge eating, suddenly feel in control of their eating habits and not feel hungry and yet lose weight.

In this episode I break down what Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) is, so you can determine your weight loss BMR. And we talk about what you’re doing when you’re eating too few calories for your body. (Plateau seeking)  

The BMR is the amount of calories you need to eat if all you did was lay in bed and get those calories through an IV, 24 hours a day.

Welcome to episode 20, where we are talking about weight loss and the circle of hate that takes us completely off track. And it is something I want to help you break.

Today's episode is actually brought to you by Become a MacroUnicorn where I help you lose weight, balance hormones, bust cravings, and break weight loss, plateaus, but you know what? None of that's going to work unless you can get out of the circle of hate. So that's what I want to talk to you about today. 

It's the end of January already, and more than likely that first week of January, you set some huge goals. 

And by the second or third week of January, maybe you started slipping and I want to help you get out of there. So why should you listen to me? 

I'm coach Michelle and I have lost a hundred pounds, three times in my life. I was put on my very first diet of 900 calories at the age of nine.

And I have lived on the weight loss rollercoaster, and in that circle of hate, for close to 42 years. I lost the last 120 pounds, for the last time I'm ever going to lose it at 42. So if they are telling you, you can't lose weight or you're feeling too old to lose weight, get out of the there because I am 50 now.

And I have been maintaining this weight loss for going on seven years. So you can do this, but one of the things you have to do in order to do this is get out of that circle of hate. Now, what is the circle of hate? 

Today I am going to explain the circle of hate, and give you some steps to get out of that hole!

This is episode 19, where we are going to talk about we're going to talk about mindset habits, and Macros because they all work together.

Now, for those of you that don't know me,

I'm coach Michelle and I am a unique weight loss coach in that for 42 years, I was on the weight loss rollercoaster. I lost a hundred pounds, three times. 

I was put on my very first diet at the age of nine, and it was a 900 calorie diet. I never want to go back there, but it was not until I was 42, where I actually hit my weight loss goal and maintained it for seven years. 

Now, if you do the math, because you know, I was a math major in college. If you do the math that means I am 50 years old and I am still maintaining said 120 pound weight loss that took me about 18 months to achieve. So I am here to help you reach that weight loss goal and stay there.

My goal is not to help you do another diet, but to create a lifestyle of healthy living that allows you to maintain your weight loss. Let's talk about mindset habits, and Macros because it sounds cool. 

No, because those three things work together and they are what have allowed me to reach my goal and stay there for as long as I have.

I have lost a hundred pounds in four months in my life and gained it back. And I've lost it in six months and gained it back in eight months. 

So when I say it takes all three, this is the way I was able to do it. And this is the way I am coaching people to reach their goals and stay there.

Today's episode is brought to you by my program, Become A MacroUnicorn 

How do I help people use these three pieces together to reach their goals? If we start with mindset, we're talking about changing our identity. 

Never in my life did I think:

• I would become a weightlifter. 
• I would be that healthy mom
• Or see myself designing workouts for my teenagers who come to me to help them figure out what they need for their sports,what they need to be healthy. 

And I'm very proud of that functionality in my life because you know, I am a mama bear at first and foremost in my life. They are my world and it makes me proud. 

But how did I get here? 

This is what we are going to talk about today on the podcast...

Weight loss is about a lot more than “eat less and move more”! But to reach your goal the number one thing you must do is track what you eat!

Because without maintaining it, all we have is the weight loss rollercoaster, and we don't want to go there. There should be no weight loss rollercoasters in this world.

Now welcome to episode 18, where we're going to discuss why goal setting does not work for weight loss.

I have a special story for this, but let me tell you why you should be paying attention to me.

I have lost a hundred pounds, not once, but three times in my life. And I was put on my very first diet at the age of nine, never reaching my goal and staying there for longer than a few months at a time.

Now, fast forward to 42, where I lost 120 pounds in 18 months. So it was not overnight but I've maintained it for going on 7 years.

And if you kinda do the math there, you'll see I'm 50 years old and still maintaining my weight loss.

This is the what? Fourth day of January. Yes, this is the fourth day of January.

And I weighed the same today as I did, the day before Halloween. So when I say standard goal setting does not work for weight loss. I think I might know what I'm talking about.

But I am here to help you figure out what does work and explain to you why goal setting and its standard form does not work.

Today's episode is brought to you by Become a MacroUnicorn where I teach you how to use Macros to lose weight, balance hormones, bust cravings, and break weight loss plateaus. 

Now why does goal setting not work? Well, goal setting is actually good. 

Goal setting has to be with smart goals. Now smart is an acronym and it stands for specific measurable, attainable, relevant, and time-bound if your goal setting is based 100% on a number on the scale, you can not hit a couple of those required elements with weight loss.

Let me explain if your specific goal is, I want to lose a hundred pounds this year. All right. So it's measurable. You record how many pounds you've lost each week. It's attainable.

But it's very large.

But it's relevant and it's time bound.

But with the human body, you cannot control how fast you're going to lose that weight. 

So today, let's talk about what we can do instead!

Today's episode is brought to you by Become a MacroUnicorn where I teach you how to use macros to lose weight, balance hormones, bust cravings, and break the weight loss plateaus. 

So what is episode 17? I actually want to talk to you about, the reasons intuitive eating didn't work for me. And I don't think it’s going to work for you and why I chose Macros instead. 

Intuitive eating always cracks me up because I could intuitively eat an entire box of donuts because they taste good. And in a period of my life where I used food, food to cope, a box of donuts was right up there with where I would be eating. Another problem with intuitive eating is I am hungry all the flip and time.

And if I eat according to the intuitive eating quote unquote rules, I'm eating when I'm hungry and only when I'm hungry. Well, that leads me to eat a whole lot more. If I don't have some kind of a structure. And finally, and another reason is, excuse me, my world was focused on food. So intuitively eating means you sit there and you enjoy what you're eating.

And I'm not saying that you shouldn't incorporate some of the intuitive eating philosophies into Macros, but I'm saying the intuitive eating alone is not going to help you reach your weight loss goal, because there's no structure to be perfectly honest with you with intuitive eating. When my cravings took me way off track, I gained weight because there was no structure to intuitive eating.

It was eat what made your body feel good? Well, my body felt pretty flipping awesome at that period in my life, eating a box of donuts or eating two snicker bars on the way home from the store, I wasn't in tune enough with my body at that time to pay attention to how inflamed I felt or to me, it was a normal feeling.

In This Episode I share:

• Why structure is needed to lose weight and maintain that weight loss
• Why intuitive eating does not provide that structure
• What happens when we intuitively eat and don’t get enough calories (hint slows weight loss)
• Why tracking calories is a great return on your time investment (that feeling of success is like a drug!)
• Why adding structure can bust some of your cravings
• Why whole foods in any program is the way to go
• Why you need to know your body type to feed your body what it needs to lose weight
• Why tracking your food can be one of your most important healthy habits.
• Why macros and tracking your food can help you lose weight consistently, balance hormones, bust cravings, break plateaus, & get back on track

Remember- You can do anything for five minutes, it's those small, consistent steps that you take every day that get you to your goal. In this case, tracking what you eat and following your Macros!

What the heck are macros?

My goal here is to break it down for a ya little!

Macros are just a different way to track your food. It's different than just calorie counting.

Macros are the Macronutrients in your food.

We are talking:

• Fats
• Carbs
• Protein

Our body needs ALL of these for different reasons.

Fats keep our lady hormones and hunger hormones balanced. (starved all the time? You may not be eating enough fat)

Carbs are the bodies natural energy source (drained all the time? You may not be getting enough carbs or eating too few calories)

Protein keeps you from losing muscle. Muscles burns fat faster and keeps osteoporosis at bay.

Every body is different, and tracking your macros helps you determine what works best for your body.

Macros done right make weight loss and maintenance easier because you are fueling your body with the nutrients it needs to be healthy.

To learn more about Macros check out the Frequently Asked Questions on this page!

https://ONEderlandWellness.net/MacroUnicorn

The answer is YES!

Macros are "just" a nutritional framework.

But it's a framework that just works!

In reality Macro's work for several reasons!

We will look at 3 reasons why they work.

1. Tracking

2. Different Body Types = Different Macros

3. Using whole foods to reach your Macros and how this helps.

Ya'll know I am a big fan tracking! If we don't know what we are eating and how much, losing is HARD!

One of the perks of macros is that we get to track our food... that make us a #MacroUnicorn.

Another reason they "just work", is because we can learn what macros work for our body type.

There are 3 body types, and each body type thrives on different macros.

It can be difficult to figure out your body type, but a good macro coach can help you determine what macros work for you with a little fun testing and teamwork.

This is what I do in my 30 day program Become a MacroUnicorn.

And the third reason Macros work is kinda of a trick. LOL.

Macros are easier to track and balance out when we eat whole foods.

Whole foods fuel our bodies without added chemical and what I refer to as crap.

Putting good stuff in, makes for a clean running engine. It's higher grade fuel for our bodies to process.

But in reality it was with learning about Macros and doing a ton of testing to learn what my body needed that helped me lose weight and keep it off.

Macros done right:

1. Provide a flexible eating structure
2. Balance hormones
3. Prevent/Break Plateaus

In this episode I break each of these awesome features of Macros down for you, so you decide if they are something you need to investigate.

We have spent a great deal of time as a group discussing the techniques Dr. Nina shares in her book. This book is definitely worth a read, if you struggle with emotional eating.

Dr Nina, joins us today to discuss the article she wrote for Psyche-"How to Stop Emotional Eating".

Today we are going to discuss the following three questions as they relate to weight loss:

1. Let's talk about cravings... ya know we all have them. From a psychoanalytic approach how do you see cravings?
2. I love that you say stop dieting. Now I encourage using habits and one of those habits is planning your food for the week, and for some habits that work. But habits are only part of it… When you say: stop dieting I don’t think you mean just have “a food free for all”. What are you advising people to do?
3. How would you help women overcome feeling powerless? This is often a HUGE reason we as women eat.

After listening to the podcast if you want to read an amazing article to help you understand why you emotionally eat check out Dr. Nina's article here;

Losing weight and making long term change to be healthy are two different concepts, and until we understand this and start to embody this in our journey it's one big ride in a roller coaster car that is constantly being derailed.

This podcast is all about making long term healthy change and learning to live with the speed with which we reach our goals.

Join me today and learn why you don't want to jump in that rollercoaster car in the first place.

If you would like to jump to her amazing revelation you can fast forward through my rambling to minute 2:15 in the pod cast. What this woman shared was eye opening and should bring joy to all our hearts.

Sending you love & hugs,

Coach Michelle

Self hate was a theme in my life. But self hate also kept me from losing weight and keeping it off.

I used the self hate to lose 100+ pounds twice. It worked, but I couldn’t keep it off that way.  

I punished myself to lose the weight cutting calories low, and avoiding life situations that included food. I didn’t participate in birthday parties, or eating out or anything that included food.

So since life includes food and food isn’t like other things we feel control us… like alcohol or smoking or any of those other addictive things how do we do this journey without avoiding?

This requires changing a few things, including how we think about ourselves. Switching to caring about myself, and giving myself love allowed me to reach my goal and stay there.

There is a ton of research showing we can’t punish ourselves to change, and the best way to teach change is with love.

If you are hating yourself, and punishing yourself trying to reach ONEderland. But you keep falling waaay off track. This is your chance to see you're not alone and give yourself the gift of realizing you change to self love and reach your goal.

It’s time to stop kicking yourself and start loving yourself to your goal. You will get there a LOT quicker.

You are worth love, and others in your life love you just as you are.

I didn’t understand that normal people didn’t eat an entire package of Oreos in one sitting all the damn time.

I felt out of control, and like everyone was different than I was. And they were just a little.

The biggest difference between me and the normal people was that I coped with life using food, and they lived life and dealt with how they felt not using food.

This episode talks about why our search for normal is focused in the wrong place.  

Focusing on normal habits first is such a huge help. But the big issue I see is women want to change it All at once. This doesn’t work. Trying to change a lifetime of habits all at the same time is a recipe for disaster.

This is like my 16 year old “loving the idea” of taking extra classes in high school. She did it! She got special approval to take an extra class. But she also changed from Brick and Mortar school to Online school this year.

Guess what?

Within a week, she was overwhelmed and she withdrew.

This is what we do with weight loss. We try to change all the habits because we “love the idea” of being that healthy person, but within a week we quit.

So let’s take a look at the idea of “normal”, and see how we can move slowly to coping without using food, and how we can do it in a way that we don’t suddenly feel helpless a week into the process.

Wanting to lose weight is the dream sooo many women have, and it breaks my heart over and over to hear that they can't because their family won't support them.

It's not our family's job to determine what we eat. In the case of mom's, it's our job to show our families how to eat healthy so they can live healthy. Living a healthy life means being able to participate in all the family fun.  

It’s so hard to sit on the couch and watch our children grow up. I did that with one of my three children. The guilt I feel over the life I missed out on him can’t be made up for the energy and love I can share with his child.  

Reaching ONEderland and getting below 199 on the scale takes commitment. It takes focus and takes changing how we think, feel and act as we make these changes.

One of those changes is taking responsibility for the food we choose to eat. It’s all a choice, and it’s your choice. It’s not your family's choice.

It's time to ditch the weight loss blame game, create healthy habits, and get off the weight loss roller coaster.

I can guarantee this second attitude, is what my dad would call half-a$$ed. Boy doing anything halfway totally ticked that man off.

But are you sitting there thinking about how bad you want it, but each little bump in the road takes you waaaay off track for days or weeks at a time?

If you were acting as a cheerleader for a friend or your child and they had a bump in the road to something they want how do you respond? Do you encourage them to cry in their soupy icecream, or do you tell them to get back up on that horse and ride it again until they master the task they are working on?

Let's talk about how you can show up unstoppable for your weight loss and why you should!

Hormonal belly sucks!  It’s a symptom of hormone imbalance.  

This occurs during menopause & in perimenopause.  

Which is when I encountered the issue during my 120 lb weight loss journey 8 years ago. 

The weight gain remedy was a unique way of calculating macros that did some magic allowing weight loss.  

In this episode I share how your diet to lose weight is actually making your hormone belly worse instead of resolving the big issue you want gone, now and forever!

You can ditch that hormone belly, and lose weight.  It just takes an understanding of what your body needs to lose weight, and how you can make some tweaks with a macro framework to lose weight AND the hormone belly at the same time.

If you're ready to ditch that hormonal belly and all the crap that goes with it, check out my podcast & then…

Slow weight loss sucks!  What sucks more is the down 1lb, up 3lb cycle that we go through after 40.

In the last week, I have talked to so many women that feel like weight loss is impossible because they have tried all the things that used to work for them and NONE of it is working now that they have crossed that barrier of 40

There are a few things at play that make it seem like we are missing out on the key piece of the puzzle when this happens.

I had this problem when I started my weight loss journey too, but I did figure it out.

If you do the math, that means I am 50 years old and I am still maintaining said 120-pound weight loss that took me about 18 months to achieve, and I achieved that weight loss after 40. 

I am here to help you reach your weight loss goal and stay there!

Don’t listen when they say you can’t lose weight after you reach 40, 

My goal is not to help you do another diet, but to create a lifestyle of healthy living that allows you to maintain your weight loss for life!

How would you feel if you could cure your monthly chocolate binge just by making a few changes the rest of the month? 

Hormone imbalance and cravings go hand in hand.  Balancing out those lady hormones for that time of the month allows us to not have such a huge craving for everyone's favorite chocolate. Imbalanced hormones do a few different things. And I share a few in this episode.

You have more than just estrogen floating through your system. I know it would be nice if we could all say that it’s the only hormone, but we have some other ones. We have digestive hormones, which if they are not in balance, we feel hungry all the time. And during that time of the month, that hunger turns into hangry.

All of these hormones work together to either make our bodies run like a well-oiled machine or make us crazy mad women as we progress through perimenopause and menopause.

Let’s talk about how we can use a food framework, a little extra breathing, and some movement to balance all this out.

Did you know that poor nutrition can actually increase the stress hormone cortisol?  Cortisol is a stress response hormone, and when we under-eat, this hormone increases.  When we don’t give our body the nutrition it needs this hormone increases.

So what does the stress hormone cortisol do?  Well, it does a lot of things like make the tummy bigger (not your goal right?), but it also disrupts sleep cycles.

This podcast shares several nutritional things we can do to keep cortisol levels under control.  Take a listen, and let’s talk about healthy!

What the heck do hormones have to do with weight loss anyway?  Our bodies are run by hormones.  We have hormones that make us feel full, hormones that make us feel satiated, and hormones that start and stop the weight loss process.

Balancing out these hormones is how I lost 120 pounds the last time, and have been able to maintain it for seven years when I've lost a hundred pounds twice before naturally and was not able to maintain it. I actually gained it back in just a couple of months, longer than it took me to lose it. 

So let's talk about hormones and weight loss. Over 40. Once we hit 40, our world goes a little upside down and everybody knows. We all hear it's hard to lose weight after 30, but after 40 it's nearly impossible and you should just accept it. 

Wrong answer! 

 I did lose after 40, and  I coach women over 40 how they can lose this weight and keep it off too!

It's time to change that preconception. Our hormones do go wacky, but there are ways we can naturally adjust and fluctuate our hormones with food. 

Let’s talk about healthy hormones in today's episode!
