For those of you who email me for the printable version, please do have patience if I take a day or two to respond, it's me doing all the email replies, by myself.

Such great info, thank you even for the specifics. This gives me hope to get to my goals and maintain long term

That’s good to know about peri menopause as I think I’m not far from it, so I’d like to be prepared. You look amazing by the way!

Louise, I just recently discovered your channel and I’m so enjoying it!! I hope your growth continues, keep up the good work!!

Thank you! ❤

Yes, thank you! Very importent to remind ourselves every now and then with all the internal and external pressure going on :)

I just want to help , how do I do this ?

Thanks for this...i needed this...i someimes feel pressure to always be on a diet

This video is from my second channel, just so you guys can get a taste of that style. The link to that second channel is in the description box. I am reposting this video here to my main channel as my mom said it was so good and worth posting here, so I though why not? ❤

Ma’am, you are very pretty in both photos but I do not see a big difference between your before and after images.

I admire you so much! I’m so happy I found your channel(s). You are such a beautiful person, inside and out, and it’s wonderful to find someone that is supporting and speaking to women our age. I had my third baby at 42 and your content is a godsend! I just love your attitude lol, and the love you share. You’re so down to earth. I hope your channel continues to grow, you deserve it!

You stipp need sun or uv exposure, just not as much... small doses for several weeks with some sun you will get dark.... then just maintain with a few injections a week.... occasionally get some sun... works great imo

I’ll be 46 in August so sane age as you ❤. I love 🥰 your channel. I was thinking of doing KZbin. I have no idea 🤷 what I’ll do lol 😂 I look forward to your videos. I like how you’re just so honest. How old is your son? My girl is going to be 10 on Thursday. We’re off for half term this week in the UK. Cost of living is so so expensive now. One thing we do have in the UK is the NHS but that’s going to pot now. Hubby is a paramedic. I really couldn’t do that job. ❤I hope your KZbin revenue increases. I’ve heard of OPI in the UK. I can’t have my nails done regularly but nail varnish doesn’t last. I’ve heard OPI is really good so I’ll give it a try. ❤❤❤❤xxx

I’m 37 but still relate to so much you talk about!

Real good video❤

Enjoyed this talk. Some really great points. Thanks for sharing 🙏

I exercised hard for the last 4 days and gained 4 pounds even though I ate 1000-1200 cals. I lose weight with no excerise...so I am stopping exercise ugh

I love your videos. I’m 38 this year and really struggling with the cactus I’m almost 40. I’m with a not so great partner who’s constantly staring at the young girls (and at the moment I don’t look much older, but I know I’ve only got a few more years left until things change) - and I can’t seem to find the strength to leave him, because I’m blamed and guilted for everything that’s wrong in the relationship. Plus he intentionally tries to make me feel insecure and insinuates he’s cheated or would replace me. And I just can’t take it anymore! I’ve gained weight being with him from the depression, and just starting to lose it now a bit. But I’m so scared to take that leap of faith and leave and heal. But your videos give me some hope ❤ Edit: also, the way you look - makes me not scared of being 40s at all. You’re gorgeous! And youthful and inspiring!

Defo felt better inside and out weighting 105 -115 I ate more healthy and actually cooked and didn’t rely on supplements or junk to reach to cals goal or nutrition to then I did 121 or as low as 82 btw I eat around 1500-1800 now on avg ( some times less or more depending on hunger / type of food I ate and if I was active or not ) ps water make me more hungry not less 😅

The picture with you at 32 is impressive, but how old are you now? My point is, is doesn’t make sense to post a picture from my younger me and say look what I achieved, impressive right? According to your actual look in this video, you didn’t achieve to maintain you low bodyfat index and muscle mass, and that’s the point. People post 10-15-year-old pictures from themselves to impress others. For me it doesn’t make sense to lose fat and gain muscle mass quickly and then return to my old routines and gain weight/fat again. This is the unhealthiest way to treat your body, a more sustainable way would be more interesting. This is what I noticed in many videos on KZbin, not only yours.

I love how you pointed out that those who truly know and love us, love us no matter our weight.

Different style of video, I will go check out your second channel. Thanks for being brave enough to share this here.

What a wonderful, real, raw honest video.

What is about insuline resistance? Have you got some ideas to Lose weight with insuline resistance? Thanks

What is too low- for the theorid Hormone?

Sound advice.

I love aging. I'm 51. No period for over one year whoop whoop. I'm an empty nester and happily single after a divorce in 2017. Life can and is fabulous. I love getting older. It's rare...I know. I had a best friend. Rhonda Gillis and she died of lykemia at the age of 21, as I was pregnant with my first child. She didn't get to grow old. No complaints here.

What can I eat in place of egg???

fantastic and great for men as well..This is the classic clean eating diet! low fat...and it works!!! thanks from nyc

You absolutely can and should be working on building muscle via barbell lifts. The aim is to get strong, not go for a certain look. You just have to increase your protein intake and follow a proven programme and of course you should not use steroids. "Toned" does not mean anything.

The aim should be to be as healthy as possible at any age. Healthy equals attractive. Healthy diet as per govt recommendation is important. You especially need to keep out of the sun and wear SPF50 every day. And naturally never ever ever smoke. The other things that are going to help you keep healthy and you will look younger than your peers: #1 take up heavy barbell strength training. It improves your bone density and the increased muscle makes you look better and younger especially your upper body. #2 use prescription tretinoin on your face every night. It's the only proven topical anti ageing treatment. It repairs sun damage and is the only way to boost collagen. Even after 1 year you get noticeably improved texture and tone and fading of sun spots. And yes over time is improves the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. You'll thank me later.

I've had long Covid for 3 1/2 years and before that I always look 10 years younger than my birth age but Covid changed all that. Although I have to say the skin regimen that I'm doing is helping a lot except for the big bags that Covid gave me. Nothing works with those. btw: currently 72.

oh I watched that netflix film nyad, it was moving. I think a few tears did roll down my wrinkled cheek :D🤣

I think these thoughts can be quite all encompassing at about 45, 46. As 50 approached, I had to ''counsel'' myself. I wrote a list of things I wanted to do and enjoyed doing and I crossed them out if I couldn't do them if Iweren't young. There was almost nothing I needed to cross out. That helped. It is a reckoning, it is a stage. so I don't judge anybody who hasn't found peace with this yet.

For me it really accelerated coming out of the lockdowns, which for me was early 50s. I aged so much in the few years since. I think the stress of it all really took a toll on me and I haven't been able to recover from that. I'm still not accepting just letting myself go, but also know my limit. I don't think I'll ever do a face lift or cosmetic surgery of any kind. But I'm on HRT and do red light, microneedling, and similar devices, plus collagen supplements, adequate sleep, and a fair amount of exercise. Recently added free weights. Planning to get some filler to cheeks and jawline to replace significant loss of collagen and bone since menopause sometime within the next year. I looked about 20 years younger than I was just a few years ago, so not ready to 'look my age' all the sudden. I'll settle for looking about 15 years younger than my age, whatever age I happen to be, for as long as I can without surgery. But the standard idea of 'what 60, 70, 80 looks like' to me is just being poorly maintained. My 60/70/80 is more healthy looking than what's considered normal.

I love your comment about how aging serves the purpose of “pulling us away from the superficial!” So well said!

Great, simple, content. ❤

I can not take HRT because I am high risk

And here you are with nearly three and a half thousand subscribers! I only found your channel today - I'm so glad to meet a fellow South African ...much love to you from Durban!

I love it. Thank you! ❤

Your skin is so glowing, you look so healthy and happy! Congrats and I'll follow this diet for sure, I am 44 yrs and wanna lose around 5kg, not much! 🎉❤

If reverse aging was possible I'd do it! It isn't possible. I cringe when I see my 67 year old body then I move on, do what I can to improve my tiny corner of the world. I use my work worn hands to lift and comfort, grateful for the many years I've been productive and fruitful. Aches and pains, crepe skin, lines and creases remind me of my history, my extensive experience, my life. I'm alive and active, and I'm still a contributor. I'm blessed.
