Hi Amy, thank you so much for sharing your fitness back to health Journey, it gives me hope for myself, I am 64 years young and found out through my doctors that I have very bad cholesterol and some issues with my heart, I am only 5'4 have loss some inches in my height...lol so now I am learning to eat different and I walk and lift light weights just for my arms right now, I am not very over weight ,I weigh 133 pounds my goal is to get my cholesterol down to a healthy level and do better for my heart, it is getting pretty chilly where I live so by the end of this month I will have to go to the gym to do my walking, I too love being outdoors to exercise it's so calming to me I feel closer to the Lord Jesus as I pray and talk with Him as I am outside enjoying the beauty of his creation, I love the time you give here on your videos and when you share the Word of God, just want to say Thank you for everything from sharing your home and decorating to your own personal life 💖 you are truly a gift and inspiration , God Bless you and your family. from Julia in Southern Indiana .....or people just call me Julie.

Congrats🥳

[@robinnieto2703]

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.

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.

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

I don't work outside the home, and I know how lucky I am for that. Sometimes, though, it feels isolating. I then turn to food. I'm a sugar addict. BUT, I know I can get back to where I was, and I greatly appreciate this motivating video! Congrats on your success! My goal is to lose weight and fall into better habits with food choices and exercise-by the end of April 2024! 💪🏽👊🏼🙌🏼❤

[@AmyFritz]

Thanks so much🥰

[@goodnewsroasters714]

You can do it! I’m in the same boat

[@SnS91099]

​@@goodnewsroasters714 best wishes! 💪🏽❤

[@DianaLynn45]

@SnS91099. I feel your pain! I'm 51, been a SAHM/housewife for 21 yrs. It's a blessing, but its also bad since I have access to the kitchen all day, lol. I was always thin until my late 30s then my mom passed and I started emotional eating and haven't stopped. I'm 40 lbs overweight, and going through menopause is terrible. Exercising is frustrating because I get hot flashes when I do anything the least bit strenuous. I'm so frustrated and feel like giving up 😩

[@tracysmith365]

You are an expert. As you share your blessings with others, You are kind and gentle, motivational and inspiring, intentional and thoughtful….. You may not be a fitness guru, but you are incredibly talented And I appreciate you and I am so thankful for how you have touched my life

[@lilymorales5922]

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!!

[@allid2849]

You are literally such a wholesome soul. Thank you for sharing your experiences! Your voice and delivery is just so trusting and approachable. Love your content!

[@AmyFritz]

Thank you so much!😊

[@Caroline-ix6hz]

I am so thankful you posted this. I wondered if you had used medication. I tried to but the side effects were too much for me. I am much older than you and I exercise daily but I have not been consistent tracking my calories. I go all in and poop out. This motivated me to start tracking again tomorrow. Thank you for being vulnerable. Congratulations!❤️

[@AmyFritz]

Thanks!😊

[@cristinaturcin]

Im 40 and i have 3 kids. The youngest is 4yrs old. It’s hard to keep track of my calories. I just had mashed potatos but have no clue how to count the calories.

[@susanmintz5954]

Kudos to you for taking action early and focusing on being your best self! This is truly a gift to your family and to yourself. I'm 54 and just started my journey to health two years ago. I wish I would have prioritized my health long ago but I'm so happy to be feeling back to myself.

[@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!😊

[@AlastairEnd]

This video was so calming and inspiring to watch! The music in the background and your voice just go beautifully together, it’s a top tier atmosphere. Your story is so amazing and inspiring and I’m glad you got on a good healthy track! You’re doing great!! 😊 I’m on my own health and fitness journey at the age of 18 ❤ +God bless you and your family, as well ❤

[@AmyFritz]

Thanks so much!

[@bananaanna1373]

The music was perfect. Almost no one on KZbin does the music right when they play it while they’re talking. She got it spot on. Calming. Hopeful.

[@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!😊

[@jlloeppke]

People who are struggling need to watch this! Counting calories, focusing on protein and fiber moving the body (especially weight lifting!) is the way to do it for many. Maybe not all but this is all working famously for me too. Thank you for sharing!!

[@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!

[@TMK1971]

Thank you for sharing! I’m in menopause and have gained 30lbs over the last year and a half. I’m trying to work through the menopause and get back to being healthier and happier

Thank you!😊

[@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.💕

[@janicewilliams6735]

Amy you hard work has paid off. I just turned 70 and I have been over weight since having children and less active this will encourage me to find what it is.

[@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!

[@nancyvance2772]

Amy, you have done it so sensibly to improve your overall health. Your weight loss is very impressive!.

[@dolorespearson434]

Hi Amy, Loved your story! So I am quite a bit older then you, in 2014 I started road cycling, loved the camaraderie and the exercise, then my hubby joined along with me and my BFF, we did so many rides, 24 miles all the way up to a 100 mile ride, It was so fun, then life happened and I started having seizures and was diagnosed with Epilepsy, a year later had brain surgery....a year before that my hubby had a pituitary tumor and had brain surgery...and all sorts of health issues happened, more for me than my hubby...here we are in 2023 and I just had another brain surgery June 15 2023, all went well, we just found out my hubbys tumor is back so now he is having brain surgery again....HOWEVER I am a DETERMINED soul and we are both very optimistic in our outcomes....We both have already joined the gym, and I have been going until my hubbys diagnosos, we are waiting to get his radiation schedule and then I will be hitting the gym he will probably go after he's finished with his treatment...my motto is Just keep moving forward and that is our plan!!

[@AshleyBelle-i1v]

Thank you so much for sharing! I am in the beginning stages of my weight loss journey and happened upon your video after almost being sucked into another “only $49 and you’ll lose 30lbs in 28 days” scheme. I appreciate your realistic approach to health. My second daughter just turned 1 so I’m ready to get my body back!!

[@AmyFritz]

Thank 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. 😅😅😅

[@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 ❤

[@acdc.rocks88]

I relate so much to all this! I am also 5' 6" and my HW ever was 232 lbs. I'm currently trying to lose the weight now, just started 2 weeks ago and down 5 lbs. You give me so much hope that I can lose all this weight too! For me, it also crept up over about 4 years or so when I met bf, we started dating and now live together. But now I'm trying to eat better and just make better food decisions.

[@AmyFritz]

Thank you, & congratulations!🙌🏼

[@waddamama]

Amy, you did WONDERFUL in sharing your weight-loss journey! I’m 69 and related to the steps you took; particularly, being accountable via tracking, which, for me, has always been essential in “staying the course.” Your process was/is very similar to mine…. I, too, benefit with “kick-starting” each and every January 1st with affirmations. Again, your journey is inspiring! 🤗👍🏼

[@AmyFritz]

Thanks so much😊

[@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! ❤

[@denisefonda2815]

Amy, you look terrific. I definitely need to work on weight loss. It isn’t a total excuse, but I’m 71 years old and after a brain aneurysm a 1 1/2 years ago, I’m very lucky to have no major repercussions. The only lasting problems is my legs, I can’t do anything too tiring. I make it through a grocery shopping trip, and I’m done. I’m very grateful to be really healthy, at this point, but I’m going to try the apps, that you mentioned, and see how I do. Thank you for the inspiration 🤗

[@AmyFritz]

Thank you!❤️🙏🏼

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.

[@Jesenia-kw4eb]

Just came by to say thank you for your video. I started gaining a whole lot of weight after Covid as well. I have started my weight loss journey a couple of days ago. But I feel like I need a little hope. Thanks for sharing your story

Thank you!!!

Amy, please consider reading the book Woman’s weight loss secrets: the unspoken truth, reading that book was the best thing I ever did

[@donnapinciottikiniry4648]

Thank you. You are my inspiration starting now. I just turned 70 and simply put, need to feel physically better, and lose a little weight. Your methods are definitely attainable and very wise so I will use them as a guide.

[@AmyFritz]

Thanks!!!

[@emmapoe2746]

Congratulations beautiful girl! Yes you can’t pour from an empty cup! On a call a prospect “you are who God says you are” your creator, has given you wisdom, knowledge, and understanding to be in your journey and perhaps Amy to even help others at the time we never know in life where our journey may go. Continue to be blessed and inspiring others I was scrolling through all the people that have been in your situation, and certainly I love the way you did it which was not having to pay a company to give you food or teach you how to eat. We all know how to do that, but we all have to make a decision. Do we want to have a productive and healthy life? questions to ask yourself. Especially to mamas that have little babies being a role. Model is so important in this day and age. May you be blessed and continue to be a blessing thank you Amy for this platform.❤

[@lisakeller442]

Just found your channel…congratulations on your success this year…my health journey was to begin the first of the year as well…unfortunately many road blocks were encountered…still incorporated many lifestyle changes, but the incredible stress is sabotaging my progress…prayer that by this time next year I am able to report my success story…THE WHY and purpose is of the utmost importance!! With your weight loss have you experienced a lot of loose skin?

[@AmyFritz]

I have. Definitely have lots of loose skin on my stomach, arms, thighs, etc. I thought it would bother me more, but it really doesn’t. Still feels better than the weight ever did. 😊

[@beckya1809]

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