@@Chelle130 you are starting in the right place (mindset is EVERYTHING on a wellness journey) I have healed my own body naturally dropping over 50 pounds and healing my thyroid (which hormonal weight gain is SO much harder to lose because it WILL NOT come off until the hormones are back in balance which doctors told me was not possible) anyways I became so passionate I started helping women do the same thing and you know where we start? MINDSET. The first place to get healthy has to be your mind. There is an amazing book called "You are the Placebo" by Dr Joe Dispenza that is still one of my top 5 books ever (and I read a lot so for it to hold that spot for years is a big deal) I think that could really help you xoxo

Congratulations on your weight loss so far and sorry for your loss, I lost my mom 10 years ago now and I still feel her with me everyday ♥️ I turned 50 this summer, and found I was also gaining weight and over all didn’t feel the greatest. Like Amy I started adding more protein, and low card and intermittent fast, from about 6:00 pm until 9:00 am, I know my body and I have always been a breakfast person, I get headaches if I miss is. But I switched to a smoothie adding all the things I need and I feel great and full. I also started moving my body 4-5 times a week, I follow 50 Fabulous workout on KZbin and have gone down 2 pant sizes. She does work out programs for our age group, 8 minutes, 10 minutes, longer, walking, weights etc, I combine 2 or 3 each day and I feel really good.

Amy, thank you so much for sharing your weight loss journey with us. My husband is watching with me and said that your story sounds like mine. I grew up as one of the skinny girls who could eat anything and everything. It wasn’t until after 2 pregnancies, a hysterectomy at 33 and the weight slowly crept up. At 5’ 5” and my highest weight was 230. I started a program on the last day of January, start weight of 221. After 9 months, I’m at 150 and I feel great! This is 40 pounds above my pre pregnancy weight but I know that at 61 years old, 140 is a healthy weight for me so that’s my goal.

What a wonderful video. I have had a similar experience. In 2006 I was so heavy and uncomfortable. I started weight watchers, jazzercise and walking the hills where I lived in Apple Valley, Ohio. It took me two years to lose 50 lbs. At age 58-60. I am now 75 and still little by little losing more. I have kept that original 50 lb loss off and have additionally lost over these years another 18 lb. My goal is around 8 more. I use the app Healthi on my phone tracking every day. At the old age of 75 I still track, do aerobics and treadmill at my gym. Age makes no difference in our quest for good health, making our children proud of us and saying to ourselves, " hey, you're still looking great girl". I have a weight loss class at my church weekly based on all you have said and through the help of God I am truly thankful and blessed. Betty

My father passed away in 2019 and my husband's father passed away this February. It's been a real struggle. In between I lost 20 lbs, because my doctor said it was a good idea to start focusing on my health. Well, i gained it back. I felt so good to lose it, but life happens and I need to focus on me again! Your video has inspired me to do it! Thank you for sharing your approach.

Literally this is one of the best videos on KZbin for weight loss, I like the lose it app, and eating more Whole Foods and plant based is definitely a great help for me never feeling hungry for snacks, limiting all the processed foods and I like the calorie tracker because it keeps me busy while I’m waiting for results and nice to see what I’m doing daily also and understanding foods better.

[@AmyFritz]

Aw! Thanks😊

[@Lulusvideos1]

Thank you for being up front and honest, I know it’s not easy. I’m on this journey now and I know all too well being in the 200’s…can’t wait to get back to ONEderland. 🎉. Congratulations, you’ve always been a pretty lady, but the weight loss makes you look so much younger.

[@brendabrooks9699]

You are absolutely beautiful!!! Please do not let yourself gain it back. I lost 84 pounds in 9 months and I felt amazing but I had a beach trip and I had actually hit my goal weight but once I started eating on vacation it was all downhill. I feel so terrible I even try to stay away from people like say for instant at the bank that congratulated me and I was so proud and I am so embarrassed to go in and let them say that I’m getting it all back so I tried avoid people now, but I had to have plans on trying to get back in shape because I feel really bad. My knees hurt. Everything hurts. Good luck Amy.

START NOW YOU DID IT ONCE YOU CAN DO IT AGAIN !!! Start NOW !!!

[@rosieschweebie]

Hi Amy, I’m so happy for you. Thank you for sharing what worked for you.😊 I’ve been on a weight loss journey since July and have been doing the intermittent fasting. I’ve have lost almost 20 lbs! I’m 56 years old, so the weight is coming off slowly, but I definitely will add more water and will exercise more. God is good and may he continue to bless you.💕

[@cristinaturcin]

Make a video on whole foods and how you cook them. Healthy snacks. Drinks. Tricks on how to drink more water. Coffee tips.

[@terriestewart5648]

You are an absolute doll, Amy! Thank you for your braveness in sharing your health journey. You absolutely will make a difference for someone watching.

[@lisawfriday]

You are definitely doing it the correct way, slow and steady. This almost always leads to continued success. Congratulations 🎊 You look great!

[@MrsAlmaTrumble]

Congratulations, Amy. You are inspiring so many ladies to get healthy.

[@laurah6381]

I went into weight loss by adding things in, more vegetables, more fruit, more protein. And I found that I didn’t want to eat the junk. And I moved A LOT! Thank you for sharing your journey, Amy! You’re amazing!

[@Beeboop7]

I'm so proud of you, I came here after finding out this morning I'm 1lb away from reaching my 100lb goal. At 5'4 245lbs I was in class 3 obesity. Had a 55 inch waist. This was January 2023 As of today I am 151lbs, 29 inch waist and due to 35% muscle I am in a healthy bmi. I had a traumatic few years, abusive relationships, lost my job during the pandemic, was evicted, nearly died of asthma attacks. Was in so much discomfort because I gained all the weight within 3 years. 130-245 In 3 yrs. I completely relate to you.

[@AmyFritz]

Thank you! Congratulations❤️

[@vmw8474]

Very inspiring especially to loose that much weight in 9 months! I'm a runner, wife and mom so any homemaking, running and motherhood content is what I love!!

[@carriedavis9675]

You are so very inspirational. I started a diet journey in January as well, went to gym 5days a week, stopped going in April. I’m 75 yrs old my starting weight was 198lbs now I’m at 168 lbs. I’m not faithful anymore i would love to get down to 160lbs. You have motivated me to started over so I can hit my goal!! Tfs 🥰👵🏽👍🏾🙏🏾

[@orietdiamond4185]

Congratulations on your 30 lb weight loss. Same age. Lost 10. Going to start tracking what I eat.

[@carriedavis9675]

@@orietdiamond4185 Ty it’s not easy at my age, with medical issues, but I’m working on it. I’m trying to get to 160lbs. I’m stuck at 168lbs. I need to focus again so I can get to my goal. Blessings 🥰👵🏽

[@orietdiamond4185]

​@@carriedavis9675You're an inspiration, as well as Amy!

[@mariethomas8297]

Thank you for being transparent. I thought you did a great job!

[@AmyFritz]

Thanks😊

[@Mich-tr4bt]

I lost 35 pounds about 11 years ago and have maintained it basically ever since. I recently got a little off track when I moved away from my home to another state and I gained 8 pounds. I focused and lost it over the past 3 months but still love to find good content to keep me on track. Your channel is very motivating and you are lovely. Great job! You look stunning! XOXO

[@AmyFritz]

Thank you!😊

[@lorieverhart7151]

You are a true beauty...and you exude positivity, as usual. I always enjoy your content, homemaking, and decorating inspiration. Looking forward to following you on whatever journey you follow!

[@aliciawhite5102]

I really appreciate you being so vulnerable. I just found your channel and subscribed! I’m the same height and close to your starting weight. I’ve tried restrictive diets and they just aren’t sustainable. Thank you for your insight and tips. I also appreciate the fact that even though you’ve lost weight, you still dress modestly❤️Also, oddly enough, my family will most likely be moving to Ohio in the next year for my husbands job!

[@AmyFritz]

Aw, thank you!😊

[@graciem6757]

Dude the beginning of the video is what I'm going through. This video helped so much! I binge eat and lack exercise.

[@sherryhurst3287]

Thanks Amy for all your encouragement. I just started my new health journal last Monday. Seeing and hearing your journey really inspires me to keep going!

[@dbf876]

Another way to track your diet: take a picture of everything you eat and drink for a week/month…EVERYTHING!

[@revitapage2777]

Amy you look so amazing! I know you feel so much better and healthier. I too am on a health journey and have lost around 30lbs..I have changed my eating completely and am now including movement to my regimen. It has been a pleasure to see the changes on you. Keep up the excellent work!

[@bethanyrose9026]

I’m 5’6 and about 215 right now and I don’t like how I look but especially don’t like how I feel. Your video is part of my first day back and trying to be healthy. My heart rate is super fast, I get short of breath from just walking and my cholesterol is already high. I’m 30 I don’t want to continue down this road. So today i committed to a 25 minute walk on my lunch break and drinking more water.

[@andreajones53]

Hi Amy! Such a great video. Thank you for sharing your journey. I’m 52 and have gained a lot of weight over the past 2 years. I’ve tried before in the past and have been successful but always fall off the rails. Seeing your before and after pics have inspired me to get motivated to lose some much needed weight and stick to it. Congrats on your success. You look great. ❤

[@AmyFritz]

Thanks so much!

[@caseyr8728]

I am so glad I found your channel. We are so similar with our body types, all the way down to our Chick Fil A meals with a Dr. Pepper. I have put on so much weight this year and I have been so discouraged of what I have let myself become. Your video just gave me a boost of encouragement. Congratulations on your journey! Hopefully I am not far behind you.💕

[@soniawelcher8159]

I have been waiting on this video. You have really worked hard in improving your life with that amazing weight loss. I have lost 63 pounds and still have 28 more pounds to go .This video was very helpful getting me focused getting into a better exercise program.I am 60 years old and it's definitely harder to loose .I definitely love picking out new clothes and not going to plus sizes. You are setting a path for your children to have healthy eating habits. So proud of my u tube friend. 😅😅😅

[@lynnsalberg5647]

I’ve done a lot of research on the keto diet and so many people say cutting the carbs and increasing the protein helps so much with depression and anxiety

[@madileeification]

I am exactly 5’6 230lbs at 4 months postpartum and I’m finally done with it. I was 140 for years before I got pregnant and now I’m so embarrassed to see anybody I know and so ready to make a change. This was very inspirational thank you for this god bless

[@AmyFritz]

Thanks!

[@carmagurl317]

Oh no ! You gave the gift of life, I don't want you to be embarrassed! All the best on your wellness journey. ❤❤

[@throughthiccandthin]

We just launched our weight loss channel last month and content like this really inspires us. Thank you for sharing your journey!

[@AmyFritz]

Thank you!!!❤️

[@beckya1809]

Thanks, Amy! These tips are totally doable and easy to follow. Congratulations on your weight loss. You’re an inspiration!

[@Shosho-s4f]

about (telling someone ) sometimes is not the best thing to do to tell people about your goals especially in my case no one interested in changing anything even a simple walk 😅.so whatever I’m doing right now I’m doing it quietly. Thanks for sharing your story ❤

[@DaniellePotter]

You are literally glowing with joy and vitality! What a gift to not only yourself but to your family as well. Thank you for sharing Amy! ❤

[@Mindaaayroxs]

Seeing you smile and mean every word you said was encouraging enough! I’ve had 2 babies in 2 years. I’m at my heaviest (161lbs) and it was so hard for me (still is) to look in the mirror and see my body. I lost almost 10lbs, but fell off the wagon for a few months. I feel the hardest part for me is finding food hacks and finding encouragement. I’m going to save this video and play it when I feel myself slipping from my journey. Thank you for sharing!! So inspiring :)

[@AmyFritz]

Aw, thanks so much!!!

[@angelachesney8371]

Thank you Amy for sharing your weight loss journey! Definitely inspiring me to get back on track with my weight loss journey!

[@lorrimaynard3992]

You came through extremely well on your health journey. You would never know you were out of your comfort zone Amy. I too used to enjoy running but got away from it for decades. I am on my health journey now a bit later than I should be, I am 72. I am only down 34lbs so far but my cholesterol is now in the healthy range and I feel better. And that is only the beginning for me. Thank you for sharing and your honesty.❤️

[@AmyFritz]

Aw, thanks😊

[@Sarah_Kilmer]

Amy, you look incredible, you’re glowing! I’m so inspired by you, I’m 5’6 and about the same weight when you first started. Thank you for all of the advice & things to consider. Thank you for sharing all of this & being vulnerable with us 😊

[@AmyFritz]

Thank you!!!

[@amandamoen8782]

Just wanted to say thank you, loved this video! I am currently on my own weight loss journey, just started on Feb 12 and down 7 pounds from calorie counting and exercising 3-4 times a week. Today was a hard day and while I was at the gym your video popped up on KZbin and it was exactly what I needed in that moment! I decided to subscribe and then follow you over on Instagram and while there I noticed that you’re also a Christian! Now I know I was meant to see your content, you came onto my feed for a purpose. Thank you again and God bless!

[@planningcalm]

WOW! This touched me to my core! Thank you for sharing your journey, Amy! I thank God for putting this on your heart to share. I have been battling weight for most of my life and never feel like I can get it off. Thank you for inspiring me to start this journey again :) Sending love your way!!

[@ThePoeticJazz]

I honestly feel like I was meant to come across your video. I JUST had chick fil a a few hours ago so I can get that limited time pimento sandwich and banana shake haha. And literally came to this video cause I was feeling guilty by my choices. The delivery, the tips, the authenticity, and even the joyful tone in this video made it so great to watch. Thank you for your courage and putting this out to help the rest of us. God bless you.

[@AmyFritz]

Thank you!🥰

[@Woman_of_God_37]

My favorite part of this video is how you explained you did it naturally in the healthiest way you thought possible. I’m against putting anything foreign in my body. God already provides for us what we need to stay healthy through the land. Thanks so much for this video! Obesity has gone through the roof and misinterpreted as body positivity. May God continue to bless you Amy!

[@Woman_of_God_37]

Also, you look awesomely beautiful and such an inspiration for others!

[@EliseRoseCrochet]

Congratulations!! This was so encouraging!! 🙌

Thank you Amy for sharing your journey. You look healthy, happy & beautiful. I’m so happy for you. You are a living testimony of what happens when we truly take charge & do something about it - naturally. Congratulations!!

[@tammyallen7471]

So proud of you! I had noticed when you started dropping the weight, but I always thought you were pretty inside and out. You are very encouraging and I've been enjoying your videos for probably a couple of years now. Blessings!

[@nancyciampa3485]

I've been waiting for this video. Thank you. You look phenomenal. You're definitely an inspiration. Can't thank you enough. Just recently started on a health journey. Tracking, weight lifting and walking are my go to.

[@alexisliane316]

OMG 1:52 in your first half marathon?!?! Amazing!!! I've run about 50 half marathons and I always struggled to break 2 hours. Got it a few times and 1:52 was my best time! Great content, your presentation and voice are so calming and warm.

Thanks so much!
