After my sister died two years ago, I told myself : what do you want for yourself for the rest of your life ? So do it, stop telling you that is hard or you will start on Monday ! And I did it, I stopped eating sugar, I started exercise and I lost 35 lbs. Thank you for your video

[@BlingyBea]

Monique Lussier I’m so sorry for the loss of your sister, bless you and congratulations on your weight loss. Did you do the same diet as Lisa?🙏🏻❤️

[@leighrenda]

Lisa, your the first person I ever watched on KZbin and to this day your still my favorite. I never take the time to leave a KZbin comment. In the beginning of this video you mentioned that “well maybe they don’t want to see me everyday”. Please know that couldn’t be the furthest from the truth. People watch your videos because they enjoy you (no matter if it’s beauty, home, life, whatever...). Your making a difference and it’s important that you know that. :)

[@evamatheson7624]

Leigh Renda the longer I watch her the more I like her.

[@chrissym7228]

Thank you so much, Leigh! 💙 Lisa

Beautifully said!!! 💕

[@robert04081996]

I agree with you. I watch many you tube channels. However I have watched Lisa from the beginning and I never stop watching. I watch every video, and I have never got bored. She is the most honest, and she never pretends to be someone else. She needs to have millions subscribers on her channel. Love you Lisa♥️

Lisa what you have done for yourself is fantastic. I’m 56!! I’m in the very thick of by menopause and it’s horrible. You have inspired me to do better. Whatever it is. I went way back to look at your weight. Wow! You reversed aging by 20 years! You will live much longer happier without those 25 lbs!!!! Congratulations

[@katiebrinkman7813]

I have gained the 2020 20 this year and have felt absolutely awful. Waking up unmotivated, not wanting to do anything or go anywhere. Nothing fits right anymore. I’m a week into eating right again, and already feel different, not just physically, but MENTALLY! So motivated to keep going. Feel like we’re together on this journey. So keep up the amazing, inspiring content cause I’m right here with you!! Lots of love 💕

[@kathleenb3096]

I needed to hear this, Lisa! I have been watching some of your videos as I too, suffer from so many "quality of life" issues......changing up my diet and as you say, "keep it as simple as possible"! Thank you for sharing.....you are TRULY someone who shines inside and out!

[@fedmara5058]

Lisa, this must be your best video ever. So proud of you. I am 52 and experiencing many of the things you are and I can't understand it because this isn't supposed to happen to "old" women, right? At any rate, I'm not complaining. Thanks, also for making the distinction about it being okay to be grateful and wanting more. I feel the same way, too. Nothing wrong with it. I think it just means that we are continuing to blossom!

[@GiddingsMcCann]

I believe I was brought to your channel just so I could go through this with you. Although I just turned 60, I had my last child at 42, so she is a senior in high school this year. I went through menopause just last year. My divorce was final in April and I am ready to get out of my own way. Keep going, don't stop.

[@LisaLisaD1]

Oh my goodness, you are really going through some changes~ at this age we know what we want, go for it!! I am happy for your new beginnings! 💖 Lisa

I love this video Lisa and I love seeing the new you! You were so right and I feel exactly the same way you do. I am actually older than you in my early 60s and if you think 50-year-olds are discriminated against on KZbin, welcome to my world! LOL! I am also with you though that at a certain point we realize that we only have one life and that time is short and their excuses are often too many. We can either sit on the couch making excuses and let her life pass or we can get out there and go for our dreams. I am so with you in this! I applaud you and I’m right there with you.💝🎂🦄🎉🌈

[@cindyvito1692]

Beth, I watch you faithfully as well as Lisa...love both your channels.

[@californiaglo9666]

Lusa, I never get tired of you. I work from home and live alone, so I truly enjoy your videos. I went grocery shopping today and got all dressed up wearing my animal print and makeup. I am 59 years old and cheerful. No matter what I always have goals and obtain them. Sure, sometimes I will have a down day, but always get back up. I grew up with a mom that had depression, so I chose to not be that way. I always learn something from you.

[@LisaLisaD1]

Fabulous!! Thank you, I am happy you're here! 🐯 Lisa

[@cjamzbrn1]

Cried for you. I love this new you. I have been a long time viewer and seen how you held back. Whatever changed you , wow. Loving the new videos. I always say you are more than makeup reviews. You have truly inspired me. I am stuck and just need to find my passion. No clue. I lived my life caring for others and now I am moms caregiver ( my mom had me when she was older). So she doesn’t need full caregiving but confusion is setting in for her and forgetfulness. It’s hard when you are a only child. Any way I was always the person that never said no. I did so much for people and not much back. Now I am tired and trying not to be bitter on why I was that yes person. But I have started changes in the last year. I say no more and it feels good. And my kids are older and I say no to them as well. I felt used for a long time. It was give me ,give me ,give me with never asking for anything back but respect and when I needed something simple they are to busy. So forget it ! I laugh because they think I am going through something. But I need to find what makes me feel peace and calmness and I am struggling because I feel guilt. Anyone else ?

Thank you so much for making these videos, I just turned 45 in July and I feel less worried about the menopause journey already thanks to you. I’ve been sharing your videos with my friends saying watch these they will help you so much! I’ve been loving you and your videos for years..,thank you for just being the wonderful person you are and sharing what you love with all of us.

[@jdxx59]

Hollie Graham I am way past menopausal but if you are at the start or middle of it, I really recommend Menopause Taylor videos. She is a gynaecologist, a little eccentric but so knowledgeable. Well worth watching her videos and you can even get a video consult with her. I wish I’d known about her ages ago. Hot and Flashy (Angie) has had her as a guest on her channel too.

[@ShellsnTexas]

Lisa I’m 5 mins into this & I want to share with y’all we used to go to all kinds of fabric stores all over Houston from Town & Country to Chinatown holes downtown, & I would often see this lady reminded me of famous Angelynne from Los Angeles. The woman had crooked Barbie eyeliner, slightly crooked glamorous pink frost lips with burgundy liner, big curled blonde Texas hair, tons of Madonna necklaces chains and bracelets, and she was tiny and wore bell bottom angels flare jeans & platforms. Well I enjoyed seeing her so much! Such an inspiration, and we spoke one time, as we rifled through the pile of ribbons and fabric scraps on sale. She was better than most all the movie stars, and I often wondered how’s Brigette Bardot after seeing her. Just sayin the media knows nothing about real women like you, who just keep getting more beautiful 😍😘🌸

[@stephanieg3333]

Lisa...I don't even know where to start with this. I just watched your video and the entire time I felt like she's talking to me!! I know I'm probably speaking for everyone when I say this has been one heck of a year. But on top of everything that is going on this year I've had 2 miscarriages and long story short I've been referred to a Rhumatologist. He believes that I have lupus anticoagulant. I will find out more at my next appointment after they review my labs. I have a 5 year old and I'm going to be 37 in a couple of months. Literally this entire year I've been basically obsessed with the thought of how am I going to have another baby?? Like you I've always wanted to be a Mom. But just recently I've realized...it's okay if I can only have one child. I am so unbelievably blessed to have him. All of my energy I've put into being upset, devastated, angry and ashamed...I've realized recently that I am so blessed to have the life I have. I'm just at the beginning of coming out of my emotional "funk" so to speak and I feel like you're going to help me along the way with your experience. I have watched you over 10 years. I would love to meet you someday!! I am so excited to see you achieve your dreams and goals!! You deserve it!! Much love and God bless!! Stephanie

Lisa, I know what it is to have more confidence as you get older. I was outwardly confident but had a shy, insecure person inside for years. Even before I retired (I was a Bank Manager) I had two terrible people who were over me and they just destroyed me with bullying to the point that I lost any confidence I had. I look back and now realise that they had the problem and as I am ten years older I wish I could go back and tell them what I now think of them. I now have four grandchildren and I love my life more than ever. I am on Keto and it has improved my health so much. You are very inspirational person and I so look forward to your videos, they literally make my day so thank you.❤ XXX Deborah from OZ

[@amberlynn1619]

I wanna first and foremost say I adore these videos & can’t wait for them. I think u know that just from me leaving comments every video I feel like u also know a bit of me. So I think u know I support & am cheering u on always! But as for the answer to your questions? My health holds me back. And I hate even saying it cuz I know many people ( thank God) don’t get it or understand. And think there’s things I could do. Which sucks even more cuz they just don’t get it. But My health issues are not going away. They aren’t even going to improve . But that is just how it is. I have to accept I can’t walk around a store for long. I can’t be outside in heat at all. I can not workout. I’ve been going through menopause for almost 4 years. Ive had my period maybe 4-6 times in 4-6 years. I’ve gained 40 lbs in 1-2 years when being put on so many new meds to try to contain issues going on with my health. I can’t just dance with my little girl in the kitchen like my mama used to do with me ( Mariah loves to dance), I can not make dinner without needing to sit down constantly. I can’t do so many things. I have a severe electrical issue with my heart. Valve issues and much more. My hearts rhythm is so wonky. I went into sudden cardiac arrest at 22 at a concert. ( I’m in mid thirties now) it was my first & last concert - cuz I can’t be around loud sounds/vibration etc). But I was dead for over 13 mins (when my friend found me hunched over & pulled me up & I was blue with no pulse.) my hearts rhythm is so messed up. But I also have other issues with valves & just other stuff, nobody cares lol. But yeah, point is, it sucks cuz unlike others who aren’t doing something, I can’t. And I know so many others have it worse. I know babies & children are battling cancer. I know all of that. And I am so grateful. My dream was always to be a mom. Well,by the grace of god, I took a huge risk , & had a child. And my dream came true. She’s 6yo and my entire world. And I also raised my niece, like my own (19yo now). I wouldn’t trade it for the world. It sucks cuz even being a mom I feel like I’m just cut short. I can’t even bend down to play because of my heart issues. So it sucks. Cuz I truly am held back by something out of my control. I don’t ever allow myself to tell people how hard it is for me, because that’s just another thing this health has ruined for me - my pride. But, I’m grateful to be alive every day. I went into sudden cardiac arrest again in February, ( my ICD brought me back). Mariah and I were the only two home. And she watched it. I promised myself I will appreciate every single day the life I have.because I do not want to die, I want to watch my girls grow up and have their own families. And as long as I’m doing that, I am and have to be as happy as I can. I truly enjoy watching you and a few others on here. I don’t get to do much of anything. You really mean more to me and so many others than you’ll every actually know. & I’m so glad you’re happy. That’s what I want to see. Enjoy your life and blessings! And reach for those stars! I sure would if I could! Xoxoxo

[@jeanjacobs9965]

Thank you so much Lisa! This is very inspirational. I've never woken up feeling like that, but I want to!! Blessings 🙏❤️

[@bawaits]

It's being grateful for what you have... but being READY for your next blessing through your works and preparation. Wishing all the ladies in the world the confidence and determination to live your dreams out loud... God bless you all ♥️

[@MsHerleen]

You inspire me so much!!

[@dragonflyjilly]

This may seem strange, but I'm really glad to see you have ads on your Channel. You deserve it, there's nothing wrong with it! I feel like ye Lisa is making it!!

[@kwclove7623]

Yes! I’ve never thought about watching ads voluntarily to help a person until Lisa. She’s just so wonderful I want to give back to her. ❤️

[@carmenfox1732]

Loving your daily videos...sharing your heart and excitement ❤️

[@mkk1959]

I SO look forward to your videos! KZbin has become my "reality tv", lol! Thank you for being my company and entertaining me throughout my week. Hugs XO

[@bellonjm07]

You really hit something for me when you said being grateful for what you have doesn't mean you don't want things, goals, etc. I feel like that is my "mid-life crisis" being 44, married, no kids (by choice). Also, we NEED you on this platform. As I get older I need people like you, and Tammy's Ageless Beauty, etc. because tips and tricks of 20-somethings don't work for me. And I don't want to dress like them, I want to dress appropriate but not drab!!

[@carolbailey8019]

I can not even tell you how much I LOVE this video!!! I think I should watch this every morning!!!! Thank you so much!,,

[@whereisleigh]

I hope you talk about this necklace! I want it so badly!! Love it!

[@amhauck]

You are beautiful and your hair looks amazing! Thank you for sharing all that you do. Question, (and I have already asked this) how tall are you?? And can you talk about your self-tanner again and whether you have a natural tan? I want to order the black outfit but I wonder if the pants will be too long for me at 5’5”..... 😊💕

[@alisonl5127]

I heard her say she’s 5’6” the other day.

I just turned 40 and I am a medical assistant. I always wanted to continue on school for my RN but my health issues hold me back! In fact some days it's hard for me to work in a doctors office. I have a connective tissue/collagen disorder and have had multiple surgeries. I started a youtube channel a few years ago because I'm very passionate about helping others and I love the beauty industry! I got some subscribers but I started doubting myself so much that I gave up! You've inspired me to stop holding back on what I can control. The health stuff is what it is and God is trying to tell me something with my career I think sometimes. Thanks for sharing Lisa! Maybe I will wipe the dust off my camera and start my channel again :)

[@imsassi]

You can AND you should !!!!! Good luck.............

[@carielynn9530]

@@imsassi thank you!!!!

[@tessiedayle3684]

Ahhhhhhh....welcome to the other side of menopause. You've arrived!! Everything seems to suddenly fall in place. It is a shame that we have to be older for it to happen but better than never! When is the last time you heard a man say he was feeling guilty for wanting to achieve more out of life? Let that sink in whenever that thought trips through your mind again. Marching on!

[@tomaradoss3420]

Very Inspired! God Bless you Lisa!! Keep sharing Jesus and your faith! You have a platform and we are listening!

[@susanne323]

Oh my gosh, this was the topic I asked you to talk about! THANK YOU ♥️ I just started the video and I’m going to cry! Going to come back after I see it to the end. LOVE YOU LISA! ~Susanne 😘💕

[@susanne323]

This was so amazing I had to see it twice! I cried with you and love how you're willing to be so transparent for the good of other women. We sure are going places Lisa... the best is yet to come! ~Susanne 🦋🦋🦋

[@deemcd7903]

I can so relate to you! I went back to school in my late 40's, & at 51, I became a teacher. It's something I had wanted to do since my 20's. I'm the poster child for "Its never too late." 😉 I've been teaching now for 7 yrs & I LOVE it!!! It's not greedy to pursue your dream. You do you & we'll keep watching! ❤

[@paulinebarbour162]

Hi Lisa I live in a little town called Kirkintilloch outside of Glasgow in Scotland. You always make me smile & want to better myself & look after myself more. You are amazing 👏 💚xx

[@lisaevans5738]

Thank you for being YOU! You have no idea how much you help/inspire me & others! You are simply awesome 💗💗💗

[@nicolewalters5039]

You are the best your energy is contagious! Keep it up sweet soul beautiful inside and out

[@jennsmith2657]

Oh my goodness. You are literally speaking all of the words running through my mind. I just love you for your courage and letting go of the old stuff that was holding you back. Thank you for being true to you, speaking your truth and inspiring us!❤🎉
