[@sherryhudson9075]

I did exactly the same as you. I lost 30 pounds 20 years ago and have kept it off I do not bring anything like candy, chips ,or ice cream, cake or cookies into my house. If I want something like that I treat myself while I’m out, but not every day. I eat popcorn or fresh fruit or a granola bar when I have that urge to snack. I garden and take complete care of my house and yard and help others do the same, which I consider my exercise. I feel very proud of myself and do not miss those bad habits that were actually emotional crutches that I used during a very stressful time in my life.

[@shoppingonchampagne]

I love it! Thanks for sharing what worked for you, Sherry! 😍

[@walbiramurray5762]

Thanks for such a great video. For years I yo-yo dieted, would work really hard lose 40 Kilos (80 pounds) and then regain 50 kilos. 10 years ago my diet changed my diet to mostly plant based and cut out most processed food cooking from scratch. I have been able to maintain my weight loss for 10 years. Instead of a puppy I got 3 grandkids who live near me and they keep me moving plus started gardening and dancing again. I agree with you, do physical activity you enjoy, exercising for exercise sake bores me, would rather go for a good bush walk than walk around the block. When I was losing the weight, I bought most of my clothes from the thrift stores. It’s weird, but I feel more beautiful at 60 than I did at 40. I believe it’s because I like myself a lot more now than I did as a younger woman. 😊

[@shoppingonchampagne]

Wow, You made so many great points, Walbira! I love that you garden, dance, and chase grandkids as exercise! 🥰

[@suzannebell51]

Thanks for the advice, I found it really helpful. What resonated particularly with me was when you said you were your heaviest after caring for your Mom but you didn't beat yourself up. I have just come out of a very intense period caring for both of my ageing parents who have both recently passed away. My 30 year marriage also ended last year so there has been stress on many levels and I too am at my heaviest I've ever been. I will take your advice to be kind to myself and make small tweaks in my lifestyle and focus on caring for my myself.

[@shoppingonchampagne]

You deserve positive self talk and self care every day, Suzanne! 🥰

[@suzannebell51]

@@shoppingonchampagne thanks ☺

[@kimberlyberlin4999]

Nancy, you are making so much sense here. About 6 months ago I decided to get healthier. I enjoy cooking and we don't eat processed food so I was ahead of the game there, just had to make a few tweaks and cut out sweets. We have 2 weddings coming up in our family so vanity had something to do with it but my main focus is being healthy and able to enjoy my golden years. I'm with you, positive self-talk is so important. You've gotta love yourself and treat yourself well. Another key point is not having your food temptations around the house. I did that with food but haven't taken the wine out of the house lol. The most impressive change I made was exercising regularly. I also keep track of my exercise. My exercise calendar hangs in my kitchen and I highlight the days I exercise. I use to dread exercise but now I find myself not even thinking about it, I just go and do it. Don't think...Just move. Good luck to all of you ladies who are choosing to get healthier. Great job Nancy.

Great video. I gained 40 pounds eating potato chips every day during the pandemic and it's still here. I'm a pear shape so I had to buy bigger pants. One pair of black pants and a pair of cropped jeans. I have a lot of tops and jackets that still fit so having only 2 pair of pants for going in public is fine and not noticeable because they are basic wide leg pants. You're right to not have problem foods in the house. I don't buy potato chips but I buy other things theoretically for my husband but I eat most of it. No more. Thanks for the motivation.

[@shoppingonchampagne]

Thank you so much, Lauren! I'm so glad to provide motivation. Do one thing every day that helps move the needle forward and before you know it those small changes will add up to a really big change. 🥰

[@alamedadanceparty]

I also gained 40lbs by eating the free cookies everyday at my new job. I stopped doing that and made other small changes. Now I’m 20lbs down and working to get off the next 20. I bought some cheap second hand clothes online to get me through going to the office without wearing gym clothes all the time. 😅 (but I probably bought too many😅)

[@Marie-zc4dm]

What an important video. I found messing up caused me to give up and I gained 20 pounds. The extra weight along with steady hotflashes were an uncomfortable time. I had also lost my taste and so tried more foods trying to find taste. Then I remembered some advice that my mom gave me. Even if I stayed at the extra 20 pounds, I was going to keep it there. I would rather fight to keep it at twenty pounds than watch it keep going up. So I did manage to keep it there, give or take 2 to 4 pounds and stayed there for about 5 years. I did buy nice pieces and learned to like myself at my new weight. When the hotflashes and cravings finally started to let up, and my taste came back, I started to do 15 minute workouts at home. After 2 months of that and only eating 1 sweet, I lost 13 pounds. Everything you said in this video I could so relate to. Thank you!

[@shoppingonchampagne]

Hi Marie, Thank you for sharing what you went through so others know what to expect! I also love that you used the advice from your mom to just maintain the current weight through this big life change, brilliant! 😍

[@grayfortress3413]

Yes! 100% true. I donated to thrift stores during my weight loss but caught myself donating new close I’d only had for a couple of months. I went inside of the thrift store and found some fantastic jeans and donated them back after I lost more weight then kept the cycle going. I’d treat myself to a couple of new pieces too… all are gone now… along with the weight.

[@shoppingonchampagne]

Great job! Thanks so much for sharing! 😍

[@kirbyd0g]

Wow! This is a fantastic video. I too, have done most of these changes too, over the years. It really has paid off in positive ways, positive self talk is the best! Plus, helping others really comes back you you in spades. I love that you removed the clothes that are not serving you at the moment. Clothes that are too small are just a reminder of a weight gain, and not always a happy feeling. Whe I was loosing weight, I would go to resale shops and find cute things at an affordable price!

I really enjoyed this video. I too have struggled with weight. The first time I reached my highest weight was after menopause. For me it was 25 lbs but it was hard to lose it but I did it. Unfortunately I went back to my old way of eating and gained it back again. The 2nd time it was much harder to lose and I was only able to lose 5 or 10 lbs at a time and maintain that. For me the most important thing I did to maintain it was weigh myself every morning. If I noticed I was gaining weight I was able to stop it before it got out of hand.

The only exercise I do is walk and rock in my rocker. Hello Fresh has bioenginered food in it so I was told we couldn't serve them anymore by hubbie. I've lost hundreds of pounds during my life. This last time was brought on by health issues, prednisone, other drugs and pandemic weight. I started out at 293 and I'm down to 239. I'm an apple shape now. I just bought some Amazon clothes in size 18/20 because I needed some pants and shoes because my shoe size shrank. I'm aiming for a size 14 and I'm going to be happy with that.

I ordered a big lucite box with a lock from Amazon because my husband cant resist buying sweets, especially BOGOs. He can eat just one. I can't. I make him lock up the cookies and crackers and hide the key from me. When he worked overseas, I threw out all the carbs when he left. Now that we're retired, locking up temptation is the best I can do.

Your puppy will keep you mentally sharp, physically fit and emotionally happy😂😂 Also, women deserve a break in getting help with meal prep and housekeeping after doing everything for decades 😅😅 wow, 65% off🎉🎉

Ugh! My menopause pounds are making me feel so down because my clothes have suddenly all shrunk 😢

[@uscitizen898]

If it was only me in the house, I'd have no trouble keeping the "do not eat' foods out of the house. But hubby wants them and then I am tempted! Ugh. 🤪🤪🤣🤣 Oh to have the fortitude to just say no like my dad did. He was amazing! He stopped smoking cold turkey after 30 years of being quite a heavy smoker. I would love to be that focused. We have two dogs so yes I'm moving around a lot during the day. Like someone else below mentioned, I've gained 20 pounds I'd like to lose but I don't fluctuate too much, have clothes that fit my body shape, and don't beat myself up over the extra weight. I look at my relatives, many who lived well into their 90's, and see I'm the same shape/weight as they are. Maybe this is the right weight for me, even though charts say otherwise. 😉 We need to remember we're not just a number/height on a chart! We are all unique individuals with varying DNA/ethnic backgrounds.

Hip surgery and daily exercise now. Lost 20ish and no more cellulite. Bottom and legs good.

[@shoppingonchampagne]

I’m a positive person. But I had my pituitary gland removed a little over eight years ago. So now, I’m taking steroids to keep my cortisol up. And I’m packing on the weight. I’m not happy about that. I want to start exercising. I have been sick this last week. I think I had the flu. But when I do feel better I will start exercising. I want to move so we can have a pool. We live in Georgia, so the weather stays warm a long time. But we live on the side of a mountain. I keep two sizes in my house. Because when I wean myself off the steroids I can lose weight. But I have no energy. I feel terrible. So I have decided if I have to take the steroids for the rest of my life. I’m going to exercise and do other things to keep the weight off of me. And I’m going to have to keep doing it the rest of my life. We live in the country, so there is no gym close by. I have weights, kettle bells and a lot of exercise dvd’s . And those are what I will use. I just don’t want to keep gaining weight. I did that before I had my surgery. When my pituitary wasn’t working. The biggest I was, was 228. And I was miserable. I do not want to get that big again. My normal weight is about 155-165. I’m happy there. And I will get there. My husband will not be buying me sweets all the time. No more ice cream. That was my downfall. I can spend a fortune on clothes. That doesn’t bother me. I have two daughters and a bunch of granddaughters who will take my clothes. I just refuse to get any bigger. So these size 16 jeans stop fitting me. I will only wear sweatpants or skirts. I’m not going any higher.

Hi Pamela, You are going through so much - so give yourself some grace for all that you have been through! You might have a new normal weight after having your gland removed and that's okay! Just try and do one small thing each day that will move you towards your goal. Those small changes can have a huge impact. Also, keep going with the positive self-talk! 🥰 Great job!

[@leonicitadionson5915]

What kind of dark chocolate did you keep at home and enjoy to eat?

[@canarieswithkaren1]

Nice advice. But those glasses you are wearing.... they're much too heavy for your face.

[@HappyLife-wv5ms]

Popcorn is all carbs. Just keep that in mind if you are someone that needs to limit their carb intake.

[@shoppingonchampagne]

Yes, but it's not a ton of carbs for how much you can eat and I use olive oil to help slow the absorption. It's such a great snack!

[@leonicitadionson5915]

How soon did you lose the 60 pounds?

[@shoppingonchampagne]

I did it slow and steady. It took me about a year and a half to loose the weight. So I lost about a pound per week.

[@HeatherLaurenCo]

All I took from this was that you have the cutest dog! 😂 I would love to know his or her name! 🥰

[@shoppingonchampagne]

Hi Heather! Thank you so much! Her name is Maggie and she's a Malshi - a Maltese/Shih Tzu mix. 🥰

[@zuzannawojtalik4294]

I love You, You are so nice lady

[@shoppingonchampagne]

Thank you so much, Zuzanna! 🥰

[@juliemoore6957]

I cannot keep potato chips, cookies or candies in the house. I allow myself popcorn 1x a week and wine on weekends only and not more tan 1 or 2 glasses.

[@gingernightmare9152]

How much did you weigh before? Anyone who hasn't dieted in a while can lose 30 lbs in 3 months just being sensible, cutting out junk, not eating after 6pm...etc. Then your metabolism slows down. It's the last 30 and that fat around your middle that you have to starve for. I did ADF for 55 days and then ... this is important took 3 months to wean off it. At 50 calories a week. 50 a week only. Walking is good for your joints but you will lose no weight. That fit bit is useless garbage. Doing everything correctly, including the weaning it would take a year to lose 60 pounds. Where is your loose skin???

[@shoppingonchampagne]

Hi Ginger, Thanks for all your questions! At my highest, I weighed 218. I did not lose the weight quickly - it took approximately 2-3 years of changing my life, meals, and activities. I also did not approach it that I wanted to lose weight - my goal was to live and feel healthier - the weight loss was a bonus in my mind. I walked not only to lose weight but also for my own happiness and mindset as well as the other activities I mentioned. I think because I lost weight slowly, I don't have any loose skin.

[@karolmolpus9536]

Yes, clean out kitchen.... don't buy again every time you go to a store.

[@shoppingonchampagne]

So true!
