Cheryl, you are doing so great. You inspire so many of us. Thank you for being so transparent and real!!Hugs

@@whisperingwindsenchantedco2358 Oh, girl, if I tried to front I'd fall flat on my face! 🥰

I love your hair color. It looks like spun angel hair and silver. So pretty! We have never been big on New Years either. Too many opportunities to get sick these days. Just the same, Happy New Year to you and Grant. May 2025 be easier on all of us. One can always hope.🤗

[@cherylcoyote]

@@prudiefox9235 Thanks sweetie, and Happy New Year to you guys too! Agreed about 2025, although I'm having a "buckle your seatbelt, it's going to be a bumpy night!" feeling about it. Were making a roast, having fondue, and splitting a bottle of Prosecco tonight.

You are doing amazing, Cheryl! Im so proud of you. We are about the same weight now. But I'm the heaviest I've ever been. I wish i could take Ozempic but i have a 4 year old and i am terrified of cancer and or dying before she is an adult so i can't risk it.....i vote you throw yourself headfirst into the store. For me, whenever i am super busy with projects, i don't even get hungry bc my mind is too busy to think about food. I am rooting for you, we all are ❤

[@cherylcoyote]

@@leenymick7745 Excellent advice! After a self indulgent and somewhat morose holiday season, I'm back on my feet and doing battle with the neglected corners of my life. Today has been devoted to the pantry. I'm getting rid of outdated, canned food, feeding it to the cows and chickens, then recycling the cans, and giving everything a once over with Clorox water. Once I've organized and eliminated the unnecessary items in that room, I'm going to move everything out scrub it all down again, paint the walls in the shelves, and plug up any holes, cracks, or crevices where a mouse can get in. My fantasy is that I will walk into that room in the not too distant future, take a deep breath of freshly scrubbed and painted air, and revel in the organized beauty of it all. One can dream!

Thank you, Cheryl for sharing your healthier journey. I too am on that same road of up and downs being diabetic and on Ozempic. Started out on Trulicity which I liked a lot better. But due to my health insurance plan had to change to Ozempic. I am on 0.5 x once weekly injection. I have that mild morning sickness I call it about two days after injection. Then eases up until next injection. I have loss of 25 pounds so far. I have been on injections about a year now. I am 62 and it has help with my diabetes too. It definitely has been a strange Christmas for me also. I have three pre-lit Christmas Trees 6ft ones. I didn't put any of them up or any Christmas decorations up too. I love Christmas and have enjoyed decorating in past just wasn't having that decorating spirit this year. I totally agree with you and what we have to prepare for this coming year. Hoping no setbacks for senior benefits as well as all benefits for others. We have decided that we will continue to live our life's as we are contented to be happy and enjoy our senior years. We me/hubby have said if we dwell on what may happen then we won't progress in a positive way enjoying life as much as we can. I have a great primary physician too she too is so good at listening and providing great ideas for my healthier life ahead. Were so lucky to have caring physicians indeed. We got this girl I have confidence in us both. Love from long time Ky Sub.

@@tamsondarland8951 Hi Tamson! I didn't realize that you were also diabetic and on Ozempic. It has made such a difference in my A1c. I'm so grateful to be down in a normal range now. I have all the same fears you do regarding what may be in our future, especially as members of the elderly generation. I agree with your philosophy. We just need to stay healthy, stay positive, and enjoy each day as much as possible. My mother's favorite quote was, "The past is history, the future is a mystery, and this moment is a gift. That's why they call this moment 'the present'." Congratulations on the 25 pound loss. I know just how hard won each of those pounds was!

@@cherylcoyote Absolutely my dear friend. May life bring much happiness and peace for you and Grant.

[@candicep581]

Love you and your videos! You are amazing and you have done so well with your weight loss. It's inspiring. I remember subscribing when you posted the video of you unicorn cutting your purple hair. I just instantly liked you.

[@cherylcoyote]

@@candicep581 Awwww! what a lovely comment, thank you!🥰

[@modgranny]

Oh my! Awesome video! Courage in our hearts for the new year ahead!❤❤ Yes! Yes!Wonderful doctor! There is no food item worth derailing your weight loss success! As a help MyFitnessPal has a wonderful food tracker app that will help and is so easy to use, especially if you eat similar foods day to day. I added a few pounds and discovered I really needed the accountability of tracking. Keeps focus for the goal! Immensely helpful I’ve found. I also weigh every day to see if an upward or downward trend is happening. This also helps me, as clothes can stretch and those 5 to 10 lbs may go unnoticed. Your doctor is the BOMB!❤❤ Proud and happy for you🥰❤️❤️

[@cherylcoyote]

@@modgranny Thanks! The struggle is ongoing, but worth the effort. When I track, which I do on occasion, I keep it in my notes on my phone, although My Fitness Pal seems like a very helpful app. I pretty much have my foods and portions memorized, unless I'm eating out, which I've done far more than I'm comfortable with since Thanksgiving. Agreed about frequent weigh-ins. It helps me stay on track, as well. I hope you have something fun planned for New Year's. Grant and I are going to stay in, have a little dinner, drink a little sparkling cider, and probably fall asleep early in front of the fire. That's my idea of heaven!

[@modgranny]

@ in regards to the MyFitnessPal you don’t need to buy or subscribe, the free part is great! I love the option for completing the diary entry and it lets you know how much you’d weigh in x # weeks. Also you can get exercise calorie credit for the day! I’m a grazer so tidbit snacking is a weakness😂 Thanks so much🥰 New Eve is a quiet affair with us too😊❤️❤️ Your weight loss journey will keep getting better and better 🥰 So excited for you❤️❤️The doctor you have is amazing! Excellent advice & strategy ❤️

[@deannagrooms1039]

You are doing amazing and you look fantastic ❤ Your string of lights do qualify in my book❤

[@cherylcoyote]

@@deannagrooms1039 Thanks sweetie! I felt like I was letting myself down, but also like I just needed to take the stress off. I've been trying to work my way through getting rid of old food in my pantry and getting the place clean and organized. Every day I make a little more progress! I hope you guys have something fun planned for New Year's.🥰

[@deannagrooms1039]

@@cherylcoyote nothing planned , staying home and watching the ball drop

[@ElphabaThe2nd]

You look great ❤

[@cherylcoyote]

@@ElphabaThe2nd Thanks! I'm beginning to resemble the Saggy Baggy Elephant, but that's okay.

[@jeaninemartin]

No darling, the light strip counts 😊 Happy New Year a little early. I usually watch the ball drop at 9PM west coast time which is midnight east coast 😂😂😂😂😂😂 Love you 😘 Bye the way…you’re doing great 🌟🌺🪺🪻🌈☕️

[@cherylcoyote]

@@jeaninemartin Hi Jeanine! Thanks, I appreciate the vote of confidence for my sadly lacking Christmas decor. Grant and I were at Costco tonight to upgrade my beat up old iPhone and he snuck a bottle of Prosecco into the basket. I guess we're toasting the new year with genuine alcohol, which is a hoot because neither of us drink!

[@jeaninemartin]

[@msavp4481]

You’re doing great! Your sweet face is absolutely transformed! You most assuredly have willpower!

[@cherylcoyote]

@@msavp4481 thanks, sweetie! I have faltered so many times, it's a wonder I've come so far. I still have a way to go, so hopefully I will muster some of that willpower and soldier on!

[@margueritepeaden3445]

Good luck on your new weight loss routine. Know it’s not easy, but you’ve come so far. You can do what you need to do.

[@cherylcoyote]

@@margueritepeaden3445 Thanks Marguerite! I'm feeling confident even though I realize I'm headed into rough seas over the next few months. It's interesting to me how weight loss using Ozempic isn't as simple as taking an injection and watching the pounds roll off. I have really had to work at it, think about it, and adjust accordingly as time's gone on. I'll keep you posted!

[@wandamyers2690]

Girl, I'm right there with you. There's no place like home, and I'm sure I will be in bed before midnight. Cheryl, it sounds like you have an amazing dr. I believe we all have gained weight getting through christmas. I know I definitely have. I have confidence that you got this! Stay strong 💪🏻 ❤

[@cherylcoyote]

Hey Wanda! Agreed, it's been a tough season, a tough year all the way around. I keep telling myself that attitude is everything, and I'm adjusting my attitude accordingly. Or at least I'm trying!🤣

[@fastpaced33]

Hello Cheryl Merry Christmas 🎄 come by check out my Christmas over here ❤️ML

[@tracyewell3340]

Hi. My mom loves you. I just watched this video and you’re being lied to. You don’t need ozempic. A short term carnivore diet will fix you and then you could try some low carb vegetables or fruits for variety. You have to fix the metabolism and high carb and beans won’t do it.
