Now I would be interested in how to properly pickle things cause I love and I know it might be a British 🇬🇧 thing a pickled egg and a good pickled onion

Sounds like a good direction! I did not start watching your channel because of your weight loss content…I watched because of the dollhouse ❤ But I stayed because you inspired me to get motivated to be healthier! Thank you for everything you share ❤ I do not think you are a fraud !

Sounds like a great book. It's good to know we're not alone in our weight loss journey's. There is hope out there. Keep up the good work. We're going to get there one day, hopefully soon.

Ugh the boxing ourselves into the weighloss category is such a huge trap! I totally get it. That's why I stopped posting videos. I wanted to share other parts of me and my life but I was a "weightloss" channel. You're not a failure! 18 years of consistent effort isn't failure, that's determination! You're so not a fraud. You're human focusing your life toward a healthier path. Try not to be so hard on yourself!

Life makes it hard to follow a weight loss plan sometimes. Go back to all the great tips you have given us. Try to keep focused on pushing away the foods that aren't good for you. I actually said no to my favorite cookie yesterday. That was a big success for me. I don't know what I would say tomorrow if that cookie is put in front of me again. Just take it one day at a time and try to stay strong.

I too feel like a fraud because I have this activewear review channel, but I’m trying not to buy so much because my closet is exploding. I love watching your hikes and adventures, and will be here for whatever content you want to put out!

We need to.collab on this subject , I write this b4 I listened to entire video

Good morning ❤ life happens do what you feel good with 🌺

Oh sweet friend, I can completely relate! That’s part of why I stepped away from WW. I was feeling such guilt for having a bowl of cereal or a PB&J. My weight hasn’t come off as I would like but the guilty feelings have eased and I am enjoying trying recipes and such again. It is a process but you are worth it!

good morning, Mary Fran, that's a good idea to step back and concentrate on what makes you happy. Maybe the weight will come off without you even trying. do healthy version of foods you like and film it. I like getting quick recipes to try out

This was a good review ❤

Amazing my friend ❤

What a revelatory book! I agree that sometimes food is just food and it tastes good. Food was love for me as a kid too

Thanks for sharing. I’ve been super busy and haven’t been able to watch or comment much. I’m getting caught up now. I totally understand how you feel. I think we’re at the age where we’re losing our parents and it does cause depression and you really don’t want to do things so you’re not alone, my dad is gone as well. I still have my mom, but she had a stroke four years ago and it has changed her although we’re very fortunate that we can take care of her and that she is pretty self-sufficient.

. Thank you so much for sharing this awesome video with us Have a wonderful weekend

What an awesome book review and on such a topic that isn't explored enough. You don't have to have a traumatic experience to trigger you into over eating. It's incredibly common for food to be associated with love. There's even the phrase, "The secret ingredient is love." Spending time together, celebrations; holidays usually involves food. Add in how addicting they purposely make food and its a recipe for an obesity epidemic. I love how you finish up the review with how positive leading a healthy lifestyle can be and it's a lot of reframing the mind. Wonderful book review! Thank you for putting in the work for us <3

I just read West with Giraffes. So logically I should read about elephants now

I have a stupid inner voice. I call him Pete. Giving him a name helped me stop listening. 🥰

Very interesting book and great insights!! ❤❤

The funniest Unfunny Guy is in your house

Family is important for mental health which is also very important. It looks like a great start to your week 💏

Looks great!! Good job!! ❤❤

I don’t know why but when I have pancakes for breakfast I go crazy the rest of the day. I use Kodiak pancakes and sugar free syrup but I still crave EVERYTHING

Sorry about your depression. We all experience it at times. Hang in there

Thank you for doing these book reviews

Always put family first

Great start to your week. Good luck with the rest of the week.

Sounds like an interesting book. I'd like to know what he said about diabetes.

A nice pasta salad sounds good. Hope Jason is enjoying the new job!

Hey, Mary Fran. It's important to make family a priority so I can't blame you for putting hubby first. 🙌

Good morning 🌺🌸

Good morning 🌺🌸

I LOVE the pool! Beautiful yard and garden. I'm sorry you've been depressed. Love 5-Guys.

This is the type of book I need I have so little time in my life. I kinda agree with you 5 minutes of exercise would not work for me, but maybe it would help me at least get started. ❤

I know that if I have not made time for something be it exercise, hobby, cleaning etc I would dedicate at least 5 minutes figuring I can so 5 minutes she that is better than nothing. It actually can make a big difference. You can clean a lot more than you think in 5, and doing continual daily if at least 5 minutes of exercise each day did show results. Try it and see especially on things you don't usually take time for or on busier days 😊

Love the poor man’s pool. 👍 Wow I love your garden, it looks like things are growing well. Wow it looks good, that’s a bummer it’s getting attacked by critters/animals. I need to do the deep clean on my kitchen as well uuugggh. 😂 I am so sorry you are struggling, sending good vibes your way.

Red rice lol... something I'd do for sure ...glad it still tasted good 👍❤

Thanks for sharing your lìe and work. Best regards Happy weekend

I'm loving your book reviews. You come with an open mind and give pros and cons and a review of "meh, maybe" is just as important to know.

I love this perspective! It's so important to remember that every step we take towards our goals, no matter how small, is a victory. As long as we're trying, we're making progress. Thanks for the motivation! Also, we gotta see Zo Zo saving someone 😍

Interesting book! I believe in the power of habit. But if you don’t see progress like you said, it’s easy to give up

Don't feel bad about grief. You never know when it will hit you. I remember when my dad died I would go out and work in the yard and cry. It does help you get through it. He's been gone for 25 years and I still miss him when I think about him.

Your awesome book reviews make us want to read more 👏

Thanks for the review

Good book .Thanks for your review.

Great video. Yes give yourself grace and start again! 😁

That’s how I calculate my calories it’s over 7 days rather than daily so if I go over by 600-700 Cals one day it’s only reducing the rest of the week’s daily Cals by a 100 or so

Thanks for sharing my friend ❤

I think Zoe is hot. She doesn't want to take a walk. LOL

I have to try not to get giddy and happy over my aches and pains from exercise because I'm using restorative yoga to advance in this area. Wow girl, nice hiking area. Update: Ok I just sat down and felt how happy I was from feeling sore but I didn't do all restorative yoga moves so I guess that's ok Lol When I worry too much about eating I eat more. Love the rocks.
