90 lbs in one year is so amazing. Your story is so inspiring.
Thank you so much!
C.S.S. I very much agree! 💪
Your advice on going on the walk or workout and not worrying about dishes or cleaning the whole house before you take care of you was the best advice on this video. I sometimes feel so bad when things are messy and I feel the need to tidy up first almost like a chore before I'm allowed to workout. This is so true, we just have to get out there and take care of ourselves first.
Thanks!😊
I totally feel the same! I would feel so guilty leaving my chores for after a workout. Thank you putting it in a new perspective! ❤
Amber, I’ve done this a thousand times - clean the kitchen after breakfast first, make one quick phone call first, send one last email first…me first always. I started getting up early to workout so that I do my workout/walk before all else and there are no distractions. It sucks that I’ve started walking when it’s cold outside, but it also helps me bcuz I don’t want to mess up my efforts to wake up early and to rough the cold.
Yes this is so me I had to force myself to start doing this❤
@@AmyFritz you are so right about this and everything you said in the video. Thank you. You are truly an inspiration.
I'd like to say I'm proud of you !! After losing 115 lbs in a year myself I've never had anyone say they were proud of my accomplishments.. But I am every morning I look in the mirror, I'm awesome on the inside but my outside is catching up and I'm loving it. Off for my walk. Good job !!
Congratulations! Your a warrior
I don't knowing you but if I did - I'd say I was really proud of your accomplishments 😊
Wow, congratulations!❤️
Wow I’d be Really Proud of you‼️‼️🙏
That’s an awesome accomplishment. Sometimes others are too caught up with themselves to notice.. or they’re envious. Regardless, the truth is, what you did is an amazing achievement
I just lost 50 pounds at age 73. Lots of wrinkly skin that I wouldn’t have had at a younger age. In the new year I plan to do toning work. I feel great and am at 10 pounds from my goal weight. It took 7 months, but I know I have learned new HABITS that will help me keep the weight off 👍🏻
Awesome! You inspire me!
Congratulations Phyllisann!
Thank you for sharing! You are an inspiration!!🎉
50 pounds in 7 months is fantastic!!!
Well,ladies…..after 9 months now, I have lost 64 pounds and I am 4 pounds BELOW my original goal weight. Thanks for all your encouraging comments.
I’ve tried to put off watching videos like these because of how intimated I’ve been to start my journey, but I’m so glad I watched this. You literally shed light on so many of my struggles and reasons why I’ve been delaying my decision to start. It’s like you were speaking to me directly. Thank you so much for sharing this, Amy. ❤
Aw, thanks so much❤️
Thank you Amy!You have inspired a 70 plus old lady who used to be slim!!!!!!!You look beautiful!!!!!😁🍭❤
Thank you for your support! I needed to hear this also!
You’ve got this!! Lean into a community like this. It can help a ton!!
You are such an inspiration!! God bless you!
i’m starting my weight loss journey and i’m excited! i’m 330lbs and i’m disappointed but motivated thank you so much for this❤ i will definitely be vlogging my journey because im inspired ❤
I'm old enough to be your mother and when I find myself on youtube, I usually watch videos of people my own age. However, I stumbled upon your video a few weeks ago and was hooked. I was shocked to see a young "homemaker' who was truly proud to be a homemaker. I love your simple clean life. I think I commented that you were a breath of fresh air. You are truly a beautiful person inside and out. We live in such a materialistic world and we need to get back to simplicity...what is important. You are very blessed to have figured out what takes many of us decades. God bless you.
Thank you🥰
What amazing advice about it’s ok to leave the chores and just go work out, go for a walk etc, that’s the only thing I struggle with. I lost 24 lbs and at goal now for over a year, but I do have the mentality that the house has to be clean, or I need to do something like food shopping and put off going to the gym or taking that walk… that stops today, thank you
The last tip is the one that stuck with me the most. Whenever I would see clutter in my house, dirty dishes, mountains of clothes, clutter… I would get discouraged to workout and would do the housework instead. You are right. We should prioritize ourselves first, our health. Thank you for this reminder.
House work is a good calorie burner.
I stayed off the scale and just went by how my body felt and how my clothes fit. The scale was the most negative thing I could do on my weight loss journey because I became so obsessed with the number. You look amazing! 🎉
Thanks😊
@laurah - I agree with you 100%.
I did the Same! The Scale is a deceiver! Too many things affect that number.
Same here! I feel it when my clothes fit better etc but never on the scale again!!
I started my weight loss journey in September 2021 at 286 and by September 2022 I was at 208. I have maintained my weight up to now ,2023, but want to lose more weight! It can feel exhausting when you’ve lost such a large amount but yet still feel so overweight. Thank you for the motivation to push myself to the finish line.
Congratulations!! How did you do it? I’m 300 lbs. and I feel like it is an impossible feat!
@@ginajohnson7485 Thank you so much! I went plant based and was working out 1 hour a day! Plant based cut out so many easy snacks and it worked for me! There are so many different ways to lose weight, I hope that you find a way that works for you! Best of luck! I believe in you, believe in yourself! ❤️
Thanks!😊 & congratulations!
I'm ready for 2024 to be my year of good health! I'm turning 60 next year and I have 90 lbs to lose. I've been going through therapy for 2 years now about a lot of dysfunction and abuse in my life.Thank you for sharing this video ..I'm grateful to have found you.
Thank you🥰
Your message resonated with me. Well done with starting your journey to health 🌟 And you are already reaping the rewards by consciously starting the journey of healing. I too have had a lot of trauma but now that I’m able to address it, my body is reacting to me letting go. Love & light ✨
Me too! I'm 60, with 90 lbs to loose
I am down 93 pounds
Congratulations!🥰
Wow I’m to the point that I can’t imagine being 93lbs down good on you
Amy I’ve followed you for years because of our shared faith, your sweet spirit, and for decor inspiration. You have inspired me so much and this might be the most meaningful. I have small children and a rather stressful job and marriage. I haven’t been taking care of myself…not enough sleep, not enough exercise, too much sugar and wine when the stress hits. I’m 138 lbs but am not healthy, I’m tired and out of shape. You have inspired me to take care of myself again. Thank you 💕
Wow, I’m so proud of you. I began my healthy lifestyle journey at the age of 34. I am now 53 and still going strong. Because I fall in love with well being. I’m starting to put on a few pounds most likely because of age. But I am not afraid to make the necessary adjustments to do what I need to bring it down again.
Keep it up and keep sharing. So many need to fall in love with well being and the journey attached to it.
Thanks😊
You look absolutely fabulous! I’ve lost 30 on weight watchers. 30 more to go.
Thank you❤️ Congratulations!
Thank you! Yes I’m inspired. And I’m 71 but still work out at least 5-6 days a week. Weights, the 3-10-30, yoga. Love it all
Thank you!🙌🏼
Thanks for another inspirational video! My health journey started 3 months ago and already lost 20+ pounds and eliminating the sugar. Adding movement now that an injury has healed. I'm 64, taking care of my 2 year old grandson daily-I need the energy that good health brings! Please keep us updated on your health as well as your lovely homemaking and new home journeys!
Thank you, and congrats🥰
thank you Amy - those are very good suggestions. i'm really trying to get motivated.
Congrats on your loss! 🎉🎉
That's a great reason to pursue better health. Sometimes the reason why can be the most powerful driver for success. Wishing you the best!
I just hit 222lbs and this video came just in time
I found you not long ago and your video about your journey and this one have TOTALLY HIT ME! Thank you for your transparency bc I AM where you WERE a year ago! I am at my highest (205) and trying to get between 170-175! Talking about focusing on the week verses the day was a reminder for me that I hadn’t thought about in awhile!!!! THANK YOU!
Thanks!😊
I love your channel. Never stop. You’re so honest and caring and it shows. I trust and listen to you.
Thank you so much!!!
I am so grateful that I decided to click on your videos today about your health and weight loss journey. Your gentle and encouraging shares are so compassionate and uplifting and are so appreciated. 🙏🏻❤️
Aw, thank you!!!
Thank you for this honest content & thank you for sharing your personal journey. I’ve always approached weight loss with so much angry energy - but I’m realising that I just need to be gentle with myself & to prioritise my mental health ❤
Thanks so much for your encouraging messages. You are a blessing! I'm only a month and a half into my journey but the weight is coming off and I'm super motivated. Love your meal ideas!!
Thanks!!!
AMY!! You are incredible! I can relate to so much you shared in this video! You are inspiring many❤
Thank you🥰
AMEN!!! First and foremost, you were the first person that came to mind after coming back from the gym today. Figured I’d tune in while making a healthy-choice breakfast. Today marks the beginning of week #3 of seeing a trainer and attending classes, being conscious of the food I eat. Thank you for the inspiration. And, yes, I felt that when you had said early on into your journey, “man, it feels good to be healthy!”
If you eat veggies BEFORE the pizza (or whatever) you can prevent a glucose spike.
This was SO encouraging! I love how gentle and kind you are with your words of inspiration. ❤
Thank you😊
Amy, you absolutely look healthy and fabulous! Your hard work, dedication and perseverance have paid off. Congrats on your amazing journey 😊
Congratulations you did it !!! I’m so proud of you !!! What you said about getting your exercise in was right on!!! I really need to do this !!! Thank you for sharing such great advice!!!!!
The tracking weekly thing and the sheet pan/ making dinners multiple times a week was such a eye opener for me. I'd been meeting my daily goal until yesterday, a friend graciously made food for me and I know I overate, and I started feeling the cycle again of not doing well. But that could just be a high day, and then have some low days. Wow, that really helps me! Thanks soooooo much!
Thank you! I’m so glad to hear that😊
Amy, you are such a beautiful breath of fresh air on CZcams! I was shocked when you spilled the beans about your weight loss journey but I’m so inspired by you! You just decided to do it and you did it!!
I’m trying to keep the correct goals/reasons in mind as I get back into the groove of my own journey. Thanks for being an inspiration of healthy mindsets around fitness journeys! 😘
Thank you😊
Absolutely thrilled by your inspiring journey! Your positivity is infectious, just like that radiant smile of yours! Thanks a million for sharing your incredible experiences. Your videos have been a beacon of motivation for me as I embark on my own health journey. Your perspective has shifted my mindset, making me believe that with the right mindset and support system, achieving weight loss is within anyone's grasp. Keep shining, and I can't get enough of your fantastic videos! 💖
Thanks!!!
Thank you so much for sharing your experience! My daughter and I have been talking about starting this journey together and being a team for support and accountability to each other. This has been so helpful and encouraging. You are so brave to talk about this and I am proud of you Amy. ❤
Thank you!
I’ve only recently found you and I am so motivated by you! I am working on a journey of lifestyle changes myself.
As someone who has been watching all your vids does for the past couple years, it has been so amazing to watch your transformation!
Thank you for sharing your tips and story because this is how we can all learn and support each other.
I've been using the calorie Calculator since your last weight loss video and it has helped me hone in and sustain my weight loss even thru higher calorie days as you mentioned today.
Awesome tips!
Thank you SO much!
Omg ive just come from your kitchen organiser video a year ago. You sounded out of breath much of that video but now that doesnt appear to be an issue. Big congrats, its not easy!
Your journey has been so inspiring to watch this last year! You look amazing, but more importantly, you look happy and glowing from the inside out. I loved this video because you made it feel approachable. Thank you!
Thanks!!!
I am SO grateful for this video. Thank you for sharing all of your tips, especially the last one. I've used my housework as an excuse to stay sedentary post-baby for 16 months and it really hit home for me when you said to let it be and go take care of myself instead. I also really appreciated what you said about not worrying about serving the same meals multiple times, with a picky toddler this makes me feel so much better!
Thanks so much!❤️
You are truly a motivator! I am very happy you are healthy and the most important are happy about yourself!🎉
Amy, thank you so much for all your inspiration, good advice, sharing , and just the joy you bring to so many people. You are a beautiful person inside and out, and you are precious. You are appreciated! May God bless you and your family. 🌻
Aw! Thanks so much🥰
I love these videos! I love the mix of this and decorating. You're inspirational in everything you do! ❤
Aw!!! Thank you so much❤️
Amy, thank you for being such an inspiration, always! You radiate giving to others and I love seeing your transformation on giving to yourself. I struggle with this daily. You are truly exemplary of what it means to be the best you can be! ❤
You’re so kind, thanks so much😊
Perfect timing for this video! Me and my husband have started this journey! Love the idea of doing weekly calorie count! Keep the inspiration coming, Amy!
I just Love you! 🥰
Merry Christmas! 🎄
Thank you! Merry Christmas❤️🥰
Thanks for the information. Struggling to loose 50 pounds. I know I feel terrible and know food paring can change your life, with putting the right foods together. I am going to start moving again and make healthier choices. So proud of you Amy, you look great. My name is Sonia and I am ready. I actually love that you helped me get over my anxiety of decorating my tree. It's simple this year and we love it
Aw🥰 Thank you so much!
You are an inspiration to so many.
Thank you, I really needed this. I love you and appreciate that you love us, your viewers and friends, so well. ❤❤❤
Thanks!

Thank you so much❤️
I watched another one of your videos at the end of October and it inspired me to finally start my health journey and have lost 12 pounds since then using your tips! I want to thank you for sharing simple, down to earth, advice!
Aw, thank you😊
The relaxing music and candle in the background, takes your video to a different level. Thanks you!!! Glad I found you ❤
Thank you!!!
Thank you, Amy, for your kindness and sharing your journey. It really helps 😊
Aw! Thanks so much❤️

Thank you so much for your guidance and knowledge. You are an inspiration not just with health and fitness but also the slow living videos. Your calmness is appreciated and I enjoy your content very much! ❤
Aw, thanks so much!🥰
Soon to be in my 60s... everything you said is oh so true and helpful! You’re a delight! I’m still trying to take the best care of me. I am on no meds! My blood pressure is perfect. Just still working on losing some weight. Thank you for a wonderful video!❤
Aw! Thanks❤️
*Your wisdom is sure to resonate with many and help them achieve their goals. Keep shining your light!*
Thank you!!!
I lost 50 pounds last year and when my dad went into the hospital I stopped and gained 20 pounds back. I’m working at it again and now I’m down 3 pounds. Doesn’t sound like a lot but it’s been a process. Mental health really does play a big part
So true!😊
This video was great! Thank you so much for sharing your journey once again Amy 💗
Thanks!!!
I have been following you for a while and I notice that you seem more comfortable in your own skin and more confident in your videos!! You look great and seem to be really happy.
Thank you🥰
Love this vlog Amy. So relatable! Totally agree that prioritising some exercise / physical activity in your day really give you renewed energy / mental clarity and helps with managing stress. I like to walk and listen to a podcast whilst doing so. Once I get home and throw myself into doing the chores then that moment has gone and before you know it time has got the better of me. I meet a friend at school an hour before pick up and we walk and talk for 2.5 miles. Sometimes we treat ourselves to a takeout skinny latte or we bring our herbal tea. I don’t even realise I’m exercising because I’m distracted and
having a good time. I definitely notice the benefits in my health, general mood and sleep. Thank you for sharing these motivational tips and hacks. We all need encouragement from time to time.
Thank you!!!😊
What an accomplishment! I always thought you were a beautiful soul, that's not changed, but you can see the glow and renewed energy in you. Can't wait to see the next year in your new home journey too!
Thank you!😊
Thanks for your honesty and inspiration Amy.
I am thinking about New Year’s resolutions and hoping that I can have your willpower!
Thank you❤️
You are so genuine - BEAUTIFUL INSIDE AND OUT! Good for you Amy😊 I love your videos
Thank you so much!
What an inspiration you are! So proud of you!
Thanks❤️
Amy, you are such an inspiration!❤️
Thank you so much!
The last tip is honestly the best. I kept wanting to make the house right, clean, have to do everything before i can even think of going to the gym. Thank you.
You look incredible!! I'm glad you feel so much better n have more energy but your sweet spirit is what I love most about you. You seem to genuinely care about people and want the same success and good health for other people. Thank you for caring and sharing your story and how it has helped you!!
Aw! Thanks so much❤️
Thanks for sharing, Amy! You’ve been an inspiration for me!!
Thanks!🥰
Very very helpful. Thank you soo much❤ this is what I needed to hear today.
Thank you for sharing these excellent tips!
Love these loving reminders/tips. Thanks for sharing. You look amazing!
Thank you!!!
Amy, you really are speaking like an older sister to others... Thank you so much for being so good and kind. Blessings!!! ❤❤❤
Thanks🥰
Amy, you are a ray of light and God is using you in so many ways. Thank you for your videos!
Aw, thank you!❤️
Thank you Amy. Loved this video. Inspired me to start again. Merry Christmas.
Aw, thanks! Merry Christmas😊
Thank you so much for making this video! I love that you are so down to earth and relatable! Please keep more like this coming in the future as I start to embark on my weight loss journey!😅❤
Thanks😊
Congratulations on your health journey. Keep up the great work ❤
Thank you!
Congratulations on your weight loss this year!!! I really enjoy your videos!!! One thing I'm glad you didn't lose...and that's your big beautiful smile!!! Keep up the good work!!!
Thank you!!!
I really appreciate that you made this video…it came at the perfect time…big hugs to you🤗
Thanks😊
Amy, this was a great inspirational vid! Needed to hear this. Thank you!
Thank you!
Amy you are such an encouragement and such an inspiration!!! Thank you for sharing all this!! You are so humble , just love your content. God Bless you and your beautiful family!! 🙏❤️
Thanks!😊
You look so beautiful and healthy. Thank you for sharing this video. It takes courage to share this. I did this many years ago but after a few years, I had a lot of life changes and got really down and I started to eat to comfort myself. Before I knew it, I gained it all back. So, now I need to start again. I’ve been making excuses all year but I just know for my health more than anything I have to do this. Your video is so encouraging. I remember so clearly that “healthy feeling” you talk about. You’re right - there’s nothing like it. My Dr. Told me I added 20 years to my life! I am going to start again, thank you for the encouragement.
Thank you!
Great video Amy! You look healthy and beautiful but more importantly you absolutely glow with happiness!! Thanks for sharing❤️
Thanks!
So happy for you. This was another great and inspirational video. The weekly calorie counter makes much more sense. Thanks for all the help your providing.😍
Thanks😊
Perfect timing to see this video! I lost 10lbs last year of a 40lb goal but life got the best of me this summer and now I'm ready to get back to it. This had some great tidbits of information as well as just making the process feel less overwhelming. Thanks for sharing 💜
Thank you😊
I have subscribed to your channel from before your weight loss journey. I lost my mom this year October 25,2023. I have watched your weight loss journey and your 2nd video really got me thinking I want to do this too! Congrats on your success! I especially like how you said show up for your exercise everything else can wait. Make exercise a priority! Thank you so much for sharing your journey! Today is day one of my journey!! Yippee!!
I’m so very sorry for your loss.❤️🙏🏼 Thank you!
Thanks so much for sharing this! The last tip I think is what I needed the most, it’s why I’ve been putting off my workouts for so long but tomorrow I am making it the top priority for my day so thanks for that encouragement!
Thanks so much!
I so glad I found your channel I have started slowly this week to transform the outside I have been working in my mental health for sometime already and this is my next step. Thank you for sharing your insight!
Thanks❤️
This was extremely motivating. Thank you!
Thank you!❤️
Thank you, I so enjoy these videos. I’m up to 11 lbs lost in 7 weeks and I feel so much healthier..more energy, my clothes fit better, my back stopped hurting all the time. I joined a weight loss program and paid extra for mental health course pack. You’re so right about taking care of mental health first.. I needed to first understand my behaviors that caused me to overeat regularly in order to change those behaviors.
Thanks! And congratulations❤️
I don't know why, but your voice is so comforting! :)
You have such a light sweet spirit. Very inspiring I’m glad I found your videos!
Thank you SO much!
I love this video so much❤ thank you thank you thank you for doing all of this work and sharing it with us! I’ve just started my health journey and I’m in a similar situation that you were, but watching you has just given me so much confidence in myself, knowing that I can do this. Thank you again so much for all that you have shared.❤
Thank you😊
You have done great, keep believing in yourself. Thank you for sharing your journey! Keep being healthy!
Thanks!
You are so wonderful Amy to share your weight loss journey with us.😊
Thanks😊
Getting started is the hardest part for me. Thank you for the advice. It was very inspiring!
Thank you, I’m so glad!
Very wise advice, Amy. Thank you for sharing what you've learned. You've come such a long way, and you look wonderful.
Thanks!
