Amy you look terrific!! ❤ I have lost 100 lbs over the course of a year and a half. I turn 60 next month and I have never felt better!!!
Great job
What did you do?
I am
Sixty and need to lose 100 pounds . You give me hope .
I weighed 183.8 , 5’1” on July 17, 2023. I said enough is enough. It is now May 13 and I weigh 125.6 I walk 4 miles a day with my dog. I do upper body weights and I use my fitness pal and changed the way I eat , no crash diet. Lots of water. my goal is 118. I am 73. It is a lifestyle change. It is not a diet. My weight started creeping up when I hit pre menopause at 47, then I started gaining when my husband got sick and eventually passed away in 2014 hysterectomy in 2022.
Congratulations🙌🏼
For me personally, your info on weight loss, is the best I’ve ever heard, because it is sensible, healthy ,feasible and the truth. Thank you Amy! 🌻
Thank you❤️
I was 169 lbs.
i am now 145 lbs.
my weight fluctuates a few pounds.
From 145 it was 150 last night 😂 🤷♀️
Thats ok this morning it went down to 147.
I weigh myself daily.
It helps me stay on track.
It does not control me or upset me.
I have to watch this video again so everything stays in my brain. 😂
Amy you handled the questions perfectly. I am a mother of three and a long time professional trainer and fitness instructor. A lot of people tell me I am “lucky” to not have a weight problem and I respond that I try to be very conscious of my food and activities. There is no magic but a change in lifestyle that produces results, as you know😉. I am glad you are using this platform to help others. You should be proud of yourself!
Thanks!!!😊
You are SO right when it comes to cheat meals or drinking. “I’ll start my diet on Monday.” - To diet just enough for vacation and then health doesn’t matter anymore. It’s such a toxic mindset.
I am up 20 lbs I hit my goal and said I would never let it happen again and I did! I started running again watching you has helped me a lot! Thank you
One pro for intermittent fasting is that like if you are pre diabetic (like I was), it “spends” the “built up sugars” in your liver basically. In three months, my A1C dropped from 5.8 to 5.3. So that’s a consideration for some. Not everyone. Folks with certain (not all) Pre diabetes risk factors really kinda need that break from food to let their bodies “catch up”. UNLESS your diet is like perfectly balanced. Like you said. Calories need tracked. Just frees us up some brain space soo we’re not obsessing
Amy, Thank you. This was so inspiring to me. I am at the unhealthiest stage of my life. I have been feeling that overwhelming sense of getting to where I want to be. Your mentality of focusing on one pound at a time has freed my brain from that. I cannot thank you enough for that gift. I will be implementing some of your tips and watching your food videos! Thank you for reaching me today. I really needed it.
Thanks so much🥰
I can’t tell you how much this video has helped me! I started a weight loss journey about three weeks ago and haven’t seen much of a change and was starting to get a little discouraged. I know it takes time, but I’m a type of girl that wants to see results yesterday! This video brought me back down to reality. Thank you so much.
Same boat
Ditto with me too!
You can do it!!
Such a sweet comment. Keep up the good work
Thanks🥰
One of the things that hit home with me in this video was the question about what was key in the beginning of your journey that allowed or motivated you to keep going. I was diagnosed with stage 4 non-Hodgkins Lymphoma back in November 2018 and had to undergo six rounds of chemotherapy. During that process I went from about 212 pounds down to about 175 pounds (for reference, I am 5' 1" tall and I turned 59 in mid-January). After finishing chemo and through the course of time, at my last follow-up cancer appointment in March 2023, I was back up to the 212 pounds (i.e., back where I was before chemo). At that appointment I told the nurse practitioner that when I came back for my next appointment I was going to be different and he wanted to know what I meant by "different" and how I was going to achieve that goal. At the time I really didn't know the exact journey that I would take, but I had put it out there to him and I was absolutely determined to not fail. I officially began my health journey at the beginning of June 2023 at 211.9 pounds and by the middle of September (at that follow-up appointment) I was down to 163 pounds. I achieved that weight loss goal by walking every single day on the treadmill that is in the exercise room in our apartment community and by following the 16:8 version of intermittent fasting. Since that last appointment in September, as of this morning (May 10, 2024) I weighed 149.4 pounds. I no longer walk every single day, but I do try and walk at least 5 times per week for at least a minimum of 30 minutes each time. This was challenging after I broke the big toe on my left foot and wasn't really able to walk. But I am back to it now after about a 3 month hiatus. And I no longer adhere to the strict 16:8 version of intermittent fasting.
For me, what kept me motivated was seeing my progress, making the statement about being "different" at my March 2023 appointment (I had to put my money where my mouth was), and having my older sister as my cheerleader truly was a game changer. Her words of encouragement and support was HUGE for me! I would say that I tend to fluctuate between the 149 to 152 pound weight range, and I have learned to be okay with that. Considering where I began my journey in June 2023 ~~ less than one year later I am down about 60 pounds and I consider that a victory and I am beyond happy and proud of my accomplishment!!
Congratulations!😊

Intermittent fasting. I will say is good for any kind of auto immune disease because it’s downtime for your gut and that’s when it heals so good for your skin and your gut.!

Thanks so much!
I am sixty and want to get started but just haven’t found the courage yet . Mostly because I have lost thirty pounds numerous times in my life and gained it back because I fell off the plan. When you said focus on losing one pound it gave me hope ❤
Great video! Congratulations for making it to “maintenance mode”! Looking forward to pt 2.
Thank you!❤️
You are such an inspiration 🤣
Congratulations on your health journey ⭐️
Thanks!!!🥰
Your advise is the absolute best! I listen to your weight loss advise often to help keep me on the right track, because I have a habbit of feeding myself bad advice and telling myself I have to do extream things - but your story and advise bring me back to a healthier midset.
Love these videos! ❤
Thank you🥰
Amy, I also gained weight during some difficult life seasons and it's great to have you remind us that we can turn this around when the time is right!!
❤️
Happy Mother’s Day!!!
I love your common sense, Amy! Congratulations on your weight loss, you look great! Happy Mother’s Day!
Thanks so much😊
Amy you look absolutely amazing!! Thank you for sharing your health journey. You are helping so many people be successful in their choices to lose weight and be healthy ❤️
Thank you!!!😊
Good and real tips!!! Thank you. ❤
Thanks!
Hi! Just wanted to say I love the advice you share, specifically about having the carbs in the morning and earlier in the day. Gonna try that! Also, I appreciate that you didn’t shame those of us who are on medication. I had 10 kids and managed to get to pregnancy weight for all but the last few. Then it was just like a run away train and I gained a bunch of weight. Documenting my journey to help keep me accountable, which is helping a ton! I love your channel, how you share your faith and your calm, laid back personality. So happy I found you on instagram, can’t wait for part two!
Thanks!!!
You look so happy and healthy!! Your last comment, about people jumping from occasion to occasion and never really getting started has been a huge challenge for me lately. But, I know you are right, it's definitely possible to find creative and healthy solutions. Very motivating!!
Thanks!
Well sweet Amy, this was probably the most sensible 24 minutes on CZcams, thank you. Im a 65 year old and you inspire me to walk and be more active . Looking forward to part 2. I am still enjoying your sweet potato nachos and the greek bowl inspiration. Thanks for sharing with us.
Thanks!🥰
Great video Amy ... thanks for sharing.
Thanks!❤️
Amy, with all the talk of what to do and not to do about weight loss,it’s no wonder why so many people get discouraged. Bottom line these fitness celebrity types, do it all for the profits, whether it works or not. But, you are a beacon have light, bringing it back to the basics “inputs and outputs. Still enjoying good healthy foods (and sometimes treats) in moderation. It’s sustainable and smart..
I’ve lost 41lbs since January watching what I consume and the portions. Yes I track my calories and it does make it easier for me. I recently joined the YMCA and have Incorporated strength training. I can’t begin to tell you how great I feel inside and out. I’m in my 50’s and I still have aches and pains, but not having to carry that extra weight around is life changing. The hardest part is starting with day one and being consistent. I still have my youngest at home and I’m a busy mom,but I’ve realized the importance it is to put myself #1, before everything else. I need to be strong for myself and my family. I finally Love myself and I look forward to a healthy future. Thank you for the inspiration Amy!!
I am down 5lbs because of you! You have inspired me to eat healthier and stick to my goals. :)
Congratulations!❤️
You truly are an inspiration. I had actually never tied weight gain to death. I was very small and active when I was young.
When I married at age 18 I was 100# now 40 years later I’m at 273#.
I’ve had lots of loss (Father, Brother and Mother) I’ve also had brain surgery 1 year after marriage and experienced breast cancer, double mastectomy and 2sets off implants.
I’m a survivor and for that I’m grateful.
I truly do want to lose weight and I need to figure out what the best route is.
I take high powered medicine for seizures that I’ve fought ever since I turned 19 years old.
I keep watching you and praying I can get back in a routine. You are my inspiration! Thank you ❤
Thank you🙏🏼❤️
You are such an inspiration. You look amazing! Thank you for taking the time to make this video.
Thank you so much!
@@AmyFritz our son got engaged last Saturday, May 11th. I am looking forward to your next video to lose weight before I go shopping for my mother of the groom dress. Also any instructions for beginners weight training.
You're doing amazing! I enjoyed this. I've lost around 100lbs but now I'm currently expecting our first to arrive this month 🥰 I'm looking forward to shedding some pounds again soon.
Congratulations!🥰❤️
Thank you for such an honest and educational video! I’m now 51 and am at my heaviest after being fit and in shape most of my life. As you said, life happens. You’re very inspiring and have re-energized me to focus on getting healthy again! Thank you thank you!!
Thank you!!!🥰
Thank you so much for putting me back on track to fasting and eating better. This video did it for me it's so encouraging and informative. I love it❤🎉 tfs
Btw you look amazing 😍
Thanks🥰
I really enjoyed this video. You're very gracious. I don't have Instagram so I really appreciate you doing this video on CZcams.
Aw, thank you❤️
Hi Amy. Thank you for being so candid and sharing your advice on this difficult subject. I find that intermittent fasting has really helped me lose weight and feel healthier. I would also add that if you are exercising then consider the extra weight of any muscle mass you are developing. Trying on clothes for me has been a better indicator as you lose the inches and people notice that. Good luck with your marathon training! Soon be Wimbledon and I can’t wait! Will be having the strawberries without the cream on the day or maybe I’ll treat myself if it’s been a while 🎾🍓
Thank you!!!
Thank you for your encouragement. I started trying to loose weight a month ago after being diagnosed with three autoimmune diseases, IIH, and other health problems 3 years ago. It’s been so hard and discouraging because of the chronic pain and fatigue. Your videos encourage me and inspire me with recipes and to keep going.
🙏🏼❤️
I love how you said you knew you were capable!!
I am 100 lbs overweight with my 4th pregnancy. You inspire me because you literally look as much better as I do when I lose weight. I gotta do it, and watching you I know I can! Thank you!! ❤️
Thanks😊
Taking a big weight loss goal a pound at a time is so wise. This was really great content 👍
Thanks😊
I never had a problem with my weight until I was diagnosed with Crohn's. My weight goes up and down. It will continue to. Thank you for sharing your health journey with us.
🙏🏼❤️

Thanks😊
Great advice and congratulations on meeting your goals! You look great. ❤

@@AmyFritz 🤗❤

Thank you!!!
Congratulations ‼️🥳
Thanks!!!
You look so beautiful!! So much great advice and encouragement. Thanks for sharing , God Bless 🙏🤗
Thank you! You too!
Great video Amy.
Thanks!
I love when you do these videos I love all of the what you eat in a day and when you share your recipes with us, I’ve been on a weight loss journey since last July and I am older than you are I’m 60 but I’ve been through ovarian cancer and have had several surgeries and I take hormone blockers which really made it tough for me to lose weight, but I am down 51 pounds Since last July and I’m very happy about it!! I really do want to lose 20 or 25 more pounds and I’ve been at a standstill for a while so after listening to you today, I am thinking I need to check out or exercise and reevaluate !! my question to you is do you think that sometimes we aren’t losing due to not eating enough food and how do you know when that happens because sometimes I feel like I may not be eating enough and my body is hanging onto what’s there ???
You have helped me with your encouragement your recipes and your Q&A videos🌸. You look so amazing and you deserve it because you worked hard for it and I’m so glad you are sharing it with all of us.🤗💐
Aw, thanks!🥰
You look amazing, so happy for you
I needed to lose 20 lbs, and joined WW ate healthy no processed foods, complex carbs limited etc,I reached goal and so happy because I am 70 and it came off so easy…
I love your advise for anyone wanting to improve their health
Thanks!!!
You look awesome! Thank you for sharing.
Thank you so much!
Such a great video
Thank you❤️
Hi Amy new to your channel. Thanks for sharing your story. I’m also going thru my weight loss journey. It has been a struggle my start weight was 211 (5’1 shorty over here😂) current wait is 180. R slowly but surely I will get to my goal. Have a lovely day!
Thank you! You too❤️
I love how genuine you are with explaining your journey and the realities of weight loss. You really should think of studying to be a nutritionist!
Thanks!
I went hiking this morning and I was able to jog a little down the mountain after losing 10lbs
I was pretty proud of myself! As I was jogging I was thinking of you😂😂
Pretty soon I’ll be able to amp it up and start running 🏃♀️
Thank you ❤
Happy mother’s day ❤️
Thank you!!!
Every time we eat we spike insulin which stores fat. With intermittent fasting you're not spiking insulin as often so that's also something to take in consideration when deciding to try intermittent fasting or not.
She needs to research it, she doesn't understand the benefits
Encouraging video, Amy!
Thanks!!!
Health Update was good to look at on her CZcams video
Did you take diet breaks? And how is your hunger nowadays and what’s your maintenance calories?
Happy Mother's day
Thank you Amy! I always love and appreciate your encouraging and inspiring videos! ❤
Curious…do you do paid version or free version of the app?
Thank you!
Very sensible Amy...you should write a book this would be so helpful without all the craziness of how to lose weight. tfs.❤🥰
Thanks!!!
Love you & the light of Christ you radiate thank you for this awesome video 🫶🏻 your friend from Orlando, Florida
Thanks so much😊
I love watching your videos about weight loss but can you please do a video about your skin and how glowing it is? Are you naturally tan or do you do something to get that? Also even the whites of your eyes just look brighter. Have talked about other benefits you have seen since eating better and exercising?
I would love her to do a video on those things as well!
Thank you so much❤️ I do self tan!
@@AmyFritz thanks for the reply. What brand do you use?
I do Intermittent fasting because I am 65, I lost my thyroid 15 years ago, I have been hypoglycemic since childhood, and my thyroid meds interfere with my ability to build muscle. My metabolism is too slow for three meals a day, and there is nothing I can do about it. But, I don't miss eating more food, and I don't enjoy junk food. We garden like you do. Everyone is different. I know my children do not need to be as strict as I am. When I was younger, I could lose with simply restricting calories. It just doesn't work anymore.
IF may help heal you
@debiwillis9045 , that is Intermittent fasting. Our family has Hashimotos and diabetes. I have managed to not become diabetic because I have always restricted my sugar. I have great doctors. Autoimmune diseases cannot be cured. Only managed. I do the best I can. That's all I can do.
Hi Amy your transformation was one of the most amazing transformation I seen. You look like a new person. I miss your Q&A post. I am your before transformation. If you can help me and others on doing a video how to start, what is important things to focus on, and what you ate in beginning when you were losing the weight versus what you are doing now to maintain the weight. I know you touch some points on this video but if you can do something more detailed that would be great. Thank you
Thanks!!!😊
