MY WEIGHT LOSS JOURNEY - LOST 110 POUNDS - LIVING A HEALTHY LIFE IN MY 60S - LIFE IS GOOD!!!

I understand weight issues. At my heaviest I was 453 ponds I’m now down to 162. It was a struggle however it was worth it. I’m 60 and a solo female trucker. I cook 99% of all the food I eat out here on the road. You have done an amazing job! Keep it up!

[@carolinemccready9513]

Well done you, that’s amazing. It’s not easy especially doing the job you do. My late husband was a trucker and an amazing man. I sometimes went with him on his journeys and know how hard it is to eat properly and get the right foods. Truck stops and fast foods etc. was the diet. So, well done. Keep up the good work, you’re amazing.

well done Tammy!! being on the road does not have to mean fast food and quick food. cooking all you food is key!! YAY YOU!!! 😊

Wow! You are such an inspiration which is what I need in my life right now. I’m extremely obese but in 2021 I lost 100 lbs due to cancer and I said I would never put it back.

I watched this video a 2nd time, Lulu. Such an "aha moment" you gave me. I remember, too, when Weight Watchers was a healthy eating program helping you select from the various food groups. That was before WW and the entire food industry realized that they could add salt, sugar, oil and all kinds of things we can't pronounce to processed foods to get us hooked and keep coming back for more. Such a sad state of affairs......Glad we can use our noggins, educate ourselves and get back to healthy!!

[@swatkasham5509]

I clicked on your video so quickly because I saw that it was a woman of a particular age! I'm 46, and most of the weight loss video I see are by much younger women. I need to see more videos like this. I started my weight loss journey at about 203lbs, might have been more. I am currently at 173lbs and my goal is to get down to 123. My journey is extremely slow! It has taken me 2 years to get down to 173, I try not to compare my journey with that of other people, but it's hard sometimes. You have just gained a new subscriber!

[@LulusWay64]

hello!! so happy for you that you are on your journey to wellness!! if it's working for you, keep doing it!! if there are ways you could it better, more will be revealed!! I would say that comparing the RESULTS of your journey to others is not a good idea because we are all doing it different to achieve the results we want. does that make sense? so rather than comparing your results, I would keep looking at exactly what you are doing to achieve the goal you set, and if you are not happy with that, perhaps what you are doing needs a bit of tweaking. I'm happy you subscribed to my channel, I'm glad you are here, and I'm glad you are on the journey to a better you!! Lulu 💕

Mine was 50lbs. Up and down! So many times I can't even count. Finally in my 60s I became much more aware of my health and health issues. I also travel and camp. 70 hit and I lost my husband. I was alone for the first time in my life. Now my focus was on myself. It felt selfish in a way. But I decided if it is to be its up to me!! I started eating better, traveling more and living my life to the fullest. Its still a struggle but I do it now with a smile instead of a dread. I mess up all the time. I forgive myself and move forward. My health is better than most of my friends at my age. My doctor is amazed! She tells me keep doing what I'm doing, it works!! I am 77 years old.

[@kayecastleman6353]

Such a wonderful, heartfelt story, Lulu. Thank you for sharing. So many of us have eating issues. One of the things that has worked well for me is intermittent fasting. I love good food and could eat every waking hour! Giving myself an eating "window" and continuing to eat only healthy, home cooked and whole foods is the one plan that has worked long term for me. I was never a smoker, and I may have 2-3 drinks in a week, so I'm fortunate that way. I'll be 72 next birthday, and the reasons I watch my weight now are also different from when I was 30. It's a conscious spiritual choice to care for my physical body. Each of us is worth the very best we can give ourselves! 💖

hello Kaye!! very well said, it's a spiritual choice to care for ourselves, we are worth the very best we've got!! thanks!! 😊

[@mendyviola]

I’m 5’2”, 53 yo, and ranged from 120 to 180. If I watch and measure what I eat closely and exercise regularly I can maintain my ideal weight (120-130). I felt my best at 120. If I let it slide for a month, I gain 10 lbs within a month. It’s frustrating. My downfall is stressful life events, sciatica, restaurant food, and adult beverages (when I have zero brainpower to maintain my diet and exercise routine when life becomes overwhelming). I’m starting over again with real food, yoga, and bike rides. I did it before, I can do it again. You are an inspiration.

I’m 68, live in NZ and I’ve lost count how many times I joined WW. My heaviest was 99 kgs (218lb) and I got down to 62 kgs (136lb) through WW points system 28 years ago ( I’m 5’4”) but I learnt bad habits and would have a large mars bar instead of proper food and unhealthy food using points. I’ve joined various gyms and exercise programmes and I’ve seen numerous nutritionists, I’ve spent a lot of money. Last year I got down to 154lbs and I felt great. The motivation was a big overseas trip to Scandinavia. Since that trip last July/August I’ve gained 15 lb. I’d love to lose that and 15 more. I have a dog I walk daily but my sugar addiction is chronic. Thank you you’ve inspired me to get back to eating healthier non processed food. I feel dreadful, gluggy and tired all the time.

[@LulusWay64]

Just found your channel recently and absolutely adore you. You have such talent for communicating, decorating, living life with a purpose. I have struggled with my weight for years. I retiired at age 72 three years ago. Two goals i had, to lose weight (277) and to declutter my small 800 sq foot home. I did lose 70 pounds but have gained 20 back the past year and my house is still a work in progress. I see a correlation to being over weight to having too much stuff in my house. You have inspired me to do a "reset" and get back on track. I find the diet guru's conflicting, from carnivore to vegetarian, to low carb, high carb. I finally realized what most of these diets have in common, is NO PROCESSED FOODS. THEY ARE KILLING US. so, back to my whole foods (mostly plant based), drinking water, getting rest, and STOP eating after 8 PM. Wish me luck with my continued weight loss and definitely the couage and strength to minimalize my home. I would like to achieve these two goals before i pass away. Love and encouragement to all who struggle and are NOT living their dreams.

In 2017 i LOST 185#, a little more than half of my weight. From the time I was born until she died, my mother was obsessed with her and my weight. After I was weaned, she started me on SKIM milk. I was a very tall child. At the end of 6th grade I was 5'10" and 154 pounds, broad soulders, size 10 feet, etc. BUT of course I was discustingly fat. In high school I grew to almost 6'1" and 170# and a doctor told me I should lose weight. I was an athelete etc.e tc. but I was disgustingly fat. This part is a lesson to parents to not put your kids on a diet or mention their weight. Any way I maintained the 2017 weight loss until the pandemic. Still I am trying again in my '70's. I wish you the best. Keep up the good effort.

[@erinobrien8793]

⁠@@karenboyd6293 Yes! When I was 6 I spent 7 weeks at my grandparents house. Grandma loved to cook and bake. I came home maybe 15 pounds heavier on a petite athletic frame. The weight came off once I resumed playing outdoors, sports, and regular meals. BUT from that point on I was told over and over I needed to lose weight. The issue was that I didn’t have the same body type as my sisters who were taller and lankier. Looking at pictures from my childhood through sophomore year in high school I was normal weight for height. But the constant comments about losing 5-10 pounds really kicked in. A lifetime of battling weight gain. Have been focused on moving more, watching what I am eating, getting good sleep routine, and decluttering my home. My recommendations: Never call a child on their weight. Provide healthy meals, no snacks, and an active lifestyle of sports and activities that engage their minds and bodies. Have family meals and walking after dinner. And limit social media.

Wow! I just knew there was a story there. Actually, our struggles mirror each other. I turned 60 in Jan. I've struggled since I was about 10. Up and down. A couple of years ago, I started losing yet again after reaching 200lbs. I said that's it. No more. I'm an even 5ft., so every ounce of excess shows on me. I lost 65lbs. I let my diet slide a while and very quickly put 15 back on. Now, I'm back on my diet. I am feeling better already, after only a couple of weeks. I am still having a struggle with cigarettes. The bane of my existence. I don't drink anymore. I just don't have a taste for my beloved glass of wine. So, I guess 2 outta 3 ain't too bad. I do have physical health issues, due to trauma from a car accident and an abusive marriage, but it can be handled(most days). Thank you, for sharing your experience.

Thank you so much for writing what food plan you used. I went to a dietician years ago asking for something like this. I wanted to know how much protein etc I should eat at each meal. She wouldn't tell me. Instead she dragged out all the food charts, I had to tell her what my food 'habits' were. She went on and on and by the end I was almost in tears. I forgot all about how weight watchers broke it down into categories. It made sense. My struggle has been similar to yours but after I had my babies the weight kept going up and reset wiped up this last 6 years due to a job loss, physical limitations increasing and depression exacerbated by the pandemic and financial struggles. I'm at the point I have no choice but to take back my life. My health is declining and I gained 12 lbs bringing me close to 370. The weight gain scared me because I had no idea I gained it because I had been around the same weight for months. Thank you for sharing and bless you.

I had only seen van life things with you. Then your cabbage video popped up today so I went hunting for more of your content. I think this was exactly what I needed today, at 56, on the downhill slide to 60. My body is seriously jacked up. Weight is a bit high, but feeling unhealthy. My bones and joints are all requiring surgery (or so it seems). My head is NOT in that place! Thanking you for the inspiration to simply be healthier. Big love and radical grace to you. ❤️

What an inspiring story! I had a severe binge disorder and remember the total loss of control, the loop thinking that compelled me to eat without abandon day after day. I also was a smoker. And now I'm a drinker. I just have that personality. I am also on the other side of 55. 😒 I've been watching your videos the last few days. I love how you say, "Life is good." And your van life is a metaphor for being in the driver seat of your own life. Thank you for your thought-provoking chats and your joie de vivre.

Hey, Lulu! Thank you for sharing your weight loss journey. I’ve struggled since my early teens. I thought I was ‘fat’; but looking back, I was in my perfect weight zone for my height of 5’ 8 1/2”. In 1969 I went to Mexico with the Girl Guides. I was 16, and weighed 133lbs, and I returned home weighing 131. All through high school I yo-yo’d and never went above 142-but I wasn’t eating healthy. After university I weighed 77 1/2 and went to Weight Watchers. I was on the same plan you followed-I still have my yellow coloured booklet. I lost 25 1/2 lbs and was just within my healthy weight zone. Unfortunately, I chose to stay on the plan and lose a few more lbs instead on going on maintenance. Big mistake! Long story, but ai ended up at 245 lbs in June 2020-partly due to indulging in unhealthy snacks when in isolation. I’m now down to 210ish, and am currently aiming to get to 160. I’m SO glad to have found your channel! I’m going to follow your plan-like the old WW plan-which worked for me in the 70s. I did try the points system years ago. Ridiculous system. It has nothing to do with preparing a person for life-long healthy eating regime. Thank you for sharing your journey. I’ve already watched a couple of your cooking/meal prep videos. They will be invaluable to my journey going forward! Keep chuggin’ and stay well! Muskoka ON 🇨🇦

yes, this plan is very similar to the old WW plan!!! may you continue your journey to wellness! 😊

Congratulations Lulu! I commend you! I love your story. Thank you for sharing! Your story is a mirror of mine without the smoking and drinking. I tried everything, the latest was the Keto and a couple of personal trainers. None helped me get past a certain number, and I felt horrible. I sat myself down, evaluated my whole existence and decided to go back to basics and your meal plan that you shared, is very similar to mine. I am slowly, but steadily losing weight and feeling the best ever. The funny thing is, I am now an able-wheelchair user due to arthritis growing on the inside of my spinal column, and I am still losing weight and my mobility and pain control are at their best!

We get so much conflicting about weight loss. Its a huge profitable industry. I once read a study that found no one keeps the weight off more than 3 years after attending a diet club. Hormones play a huge part for us ladies too. We're not all the same and I think it's more about health and what works for us. Walking is a great way to lose weight even if it's just on the spot in your living room. You look great lulu, congratulations on your weight loss. Glad I found your channel.

Yes! Yes! Yes! Jean Niditch days! No points, back then. Very disciplined back then. Cost 2 dollars Canadian a week. I lost, lost, lost. The point system has too many items that are really a mo-no.

Thank you for sharing your weight loss story. I know that it will make a difference to many people and perhaps give them the opportunity to do the same for themselves. I have struggles with my weight my whole life and it has caused me many health issues and emotional issues. My father was an alcoholic so I never wanted to drink and become like him. Food was my drug of choice. I too went to Weight Watchers which worked well the first time. I never did well the other times I went. I am now 81 and really can see what this weight has done to my life and my body. I do what I can and have decided to have that be okay for me now. I am done wishing it was something else and not making it happen. Thank you as always for your kind words and non judgment of others.
