What I WISH I knew before losing 90lbs | starting a weight loss journey

[@shawnsolonski2681]

I'd like to say I'm proud of you !! After losing 115 lbs in a year myself I've never had anyone say they were proud of my accomplishments.. But I am every morning I look in the mirror, I'm awesome on the inside but my outside is catching up and I'm loving it. Off for my walk. Good job !!

[@tammywade3649]

Congratulations! Your a warrior

[@ByHisGrace-]

I don't knowing you but if I did - I'd say I was really proud of your accomplishments 😊

[@AmyFritz]

Wow, congratulations!❤️

Wow I’d be Really Proud of you‼️‼️🙏

[@nicolephillips2312]

That’s an awesome accomplishment. Sometimes others are too caught up with themselves to notice.. or they’re envious. Regardless, the truth is, what you did is an amazing achievement

[@c.s.s.8117]

90 lbs in one year is so amazing. Your story is so inspiring.

[@AmyFritz]

Thank you so much!

[@DMVButterfly]

C.S.S. I very much agree! 💪

[@ambersucces9867]

Your advice on going on the walk or workout and not worrying about dishes or cleaning the whole house before you take care of you was the best advice on this video. I sometimes feel so bad when things are messy and I feel the need to tidy up first almost like a chore before I'm allowed to workout. This is so true, we just have to get out there and take care of ourselves first.

[@AmyFritz]

Thanks!😊

[@terrybarajas9308]

I totally feel the same! I would feel so guilty leaving my chores for after a workout. Thank you putting it in a new perspective! ❤

[@DMVButterfly]

Amber, I’ve done this a thousand times - clean the kitchen after breakfast first, make one quick phone call first, send one last email first…me first always. I started getting up early to workout so that I do my workout/walk before all else and there are no distractions. It sucks that I’ve started walking when it’s cold outside, but it also helps me bcuz I don’t want to mess up my efforts to wake up early and to rough the cold.

[@chrishingson3064]

Yes this is so me I had to force myself to start doing this❤

[@colleens7641]

@@AmyFritz you are so right about this and everything you said in the video. Thank you. You are truly an inspiration.

[@4lb280]

I'm old enough to be your mother and when I find myself on youtube, I usually watch videos of people my own age. However, I stumbled upon your video a few weeks ago and was hooked. I was shocked to see a young "homemaker' who was truly proud to be a homemaker. I love your simple clean life. I think I commented that you were a breath of fresh air. You are truly a beautiful person inside and out. We live in such a materialistic world and we need to get back to simplicity...what is important. You are very blessed to have figured out what takes many of us decades. God bless you.

The last tip is the one that stuck with me the most. Whenever I would see clutter in my house, dirty dishes, mountains of clothes, clutter… I would get discouraged to workout and would do the housework instead. You are right.

I stayed off the scale and just went by how my body felt and how my clothes fit. The scale was the most negative thing I could do on my weight loss journey because I became so obsessed with the number. You look amazing! 🎉

It is so good to see women realize this! I teach this exact thing to postpartum women that are struggling to lose weight. Once the addiction to the scale is gone and they tap into their bodies, everything changes.

Amy I’ve followed you for years because of our shared faith, your sweet spirit, and for decor inspiration. You have inspired me so much and this might be the most meaningful. I have small children and a rather stressful job and marriage. I haven’t been taking care of myself…not enough sleep, not enough exercise, too much sugar and wine when the stress hits. I’m 138 lbs but am not healthy, I’m tired and out of shape. You have inspired me to take care of myself again. Thank you 💕

[@christined2495]

What amazing advice about it’s ok to leave the chores and just go work out, go for a walk etc, that’s the only thing I struggle with. I lost 24 lbs and at goal now for over a year, but I do have the mentality that the house has to be clean, or I need to do something like food shopping and put off going to the gym or taking that walk… that stops today, thank you

[@arshie26]

You have this super casual brand that's laid back but carries the energy of your information. You're also super cute!

The tracking weekly thing and the sheet pan/ making dinners multiple times a week was such a eye opener for me.

But that could just be a high day, and then have some low days. Wow, that really helps me! Thanks soooooo much!

So, now I need to start again. I’ve been making excuses all year but I just know for my health more than anything I have to do this. Your video is so encouraging.

Your video is so motivating and the advice is very realistic. I have also struggled with weight gain since I was a teenager. Which was due to an enlarged ovarian cyst, forcing my hormones to be out of whack. So it was a unseen medical battle I was losing to. However since recovering from surgery I feel mentally and physically ready to amp up my health journey. So far I'm 13 lbs down over the course of 6 months. That is slow, but its weight down instead of up in years! I will definitely take your wonderful video to heart and prioritize movement. Thank you so much and keep up the awesome uploads 😎

Thank you so much for sharing your journey. I desperately need a weight loss big sister (even though I am 56). I need to lose over 100 pounds and I am currently laying in bed recovering from my second knee replacement. Ready to make healthy choices and big changes this year!

[@AmyFritz]

Praying for a speedy recovery🙏🏼

You have such a beautiful smile! Congrats on your weight loss victory! With menopause I became heavier than I’ve ever been and that was scary with both my parents being diabetic. Thankfully my husband and I each lost over 30 pounds over the past 3 months and are learning to make healthier choices. We worked out several times a week but without a healthy diet we were still gaining weight. The things that helped us the most: Zumba dance classes (great cardio as well as fun music and supportive community) cutting out sugar and using stevia instead, keeping a food/sleep/exercise diary to be more intentional, cutting out late night snacking and alcohol, working with a nutritionist on a weekly basis, and dieting together.

Thank you!!!😊

Thank you for you last tip especially. This is my biggest problem with exercise. Everything has to be in order first and then I just don't get to the exercise. This encouraged me a lot.

[@AmyFritz]

I’m so glad❤️

This is the second video I watched of yours. You are encouraging. I love how real you are and you explain things so well. Makes me want to check out your whole page. I am 42 and I need to make myself a priority. I know this lol but I have not started. I need to lose weight and feel healthy ! Thank you for sharing your journey.

Wow, I was just watching KZbin when I seen your KZbin video. All I can say is congratulations on the weight loss and you’re beautiful.

This was so inspiring! Love how calming your videos are! In June 2022 I started my health journey. I tried so hard to lose weight for so long but i was taking an antidepressant that caused significant weight gain. Once I was in a good place & able to get off of that, I lost 70 lbs total. I still eat sweets, chips, & junk food on occasion just in moderation. I still have about 30lbs to meet my goal weight but I am fine with the slower weight loss to allow my skin elasticity to catch up. I try to avoid the scale except for once a week and taking measurements.

Thanks❤️

Thank you, I so enjoy these videos. I’m up to 11 lbs lost in 7 weeks and I feel so much healthier..more energy, my clothes fit better, my back stopped hurting all the time. I joined a weight loss program and paid extra for mental health course pack. You’re so right about taking care of mental health first.. I needed to first understand my behaviors that caused me to overeat regularly in order to change those behaviors.

[@AmyFritz]

Thanks! And congratulations❤️
