6 MONTH UPDATE! || I WENT ON A 30 DAY HEALTH CHALLENGE || WHERE DO I GO FROM HERE? 

There's a great mantra out there that says don't punish the behavior you wanted to see. If you wanna support someone who is trying to live a healthier life, you don't do it by making snide comments about what they eat! It's 100% not anyone's business what someone else chooses to eat. Yes Mandy chose to share with us and that's what we want! But lets not punish her for sharing her journey by making those rude comments. I don't understand people who do that. So happy for you Mandy and really impressed by you all the time!

You look 10 or 15 years younger than you did in the 30 day walk challenge. It's amazing how much regular exercise and some self care matters. While the divorce was, no doubt , very painful for you, it really does appear as though your stress level has eased up and you can now relax a bit.

Just want to say this. I just saw your post from 6 months ago with your 30 day walking challenge and subscribed. Then went to this. You look wonderful! You look happy, healthy and like you could be be your daughter. Kudos to you! You should be so proud of your accomplishments! You are a warrior!

As a nutritional therapist, I always roll my eyes at people who use the word diet. Everyone is on a diet. Diet is 'dietary consumption '. People always equate that with weight loss but without 'diet', we wouldn't be alive. Good for you for wanting growth, learning and new challenges. All a positive step forward. Forget the haters. They clearly should find their own peace. Keep on keeping on lady. Very inspiring!

Hi Mandy, I want you to know you inspired me. I have a membership but never go. I asked if they have senior women classes & they do🎉 So I'm going to the gym every Tuesday and Thursday thanks to you Mandy. I'm 66 & I walk 30-60 min each day anyway but I thought I could use some gym time like you! Thank you dear Mandy. Out of your suffering & pain you have helped A LOT of us ladies no matter what the age. God's best to you sweet lady.❤

You are looking so healthy inside and out. For those who have prayed for me during this cancer fight my marker numbers went down to 200 from850 in Dec. Thank you Mandy. Your fighting spirit helps encourage others to fight❤

Girl, ignore those haters. You are doing wonderful. It is hard to go through a divorce. Keep doing you. You are a blessing and I enjoy watching you. Just now that you are not alone -God is by your side along with your RU-vid family.😊

You can tell a difference from the beginning to now in the appearance of your skin tone. It’s clearer which is a combination between the water intake, sleep schedule, and exercise. Yes you’re strong, enough, and amazing woman. Always take care of yourself and enjoy life and celebrate.

You are allowed to eat whatever you want. It is not a diet. It is a lifestyle change. Diets do not last nor produce lasting results. It's tough to tell myself no or to feel hungry. But it's working.

The goal is “Progress not Perfection” You are doing a great job of making good choices for yourself and taking your life back!! ❤

Mean people suck. You're an inspiration, Mandy. Congrats, and keep up your momentum!

Mandy, you are doing so good! Ignore the hateful comments. You are on a life-long healthy journey and you are going to make it to the end of your journey and go into the maintenance phase with full blown confidence. Keep going!

Just watched a few videos of yours, and let me say, I am totally in awe how much younger you look since the first challenge. Like 6 years or so. Very, very encouraging. Thank you for sharing your journey!

Hello again, Mandy! I'm so proud of you. You are doing you FOR you and there's nothing better than that! You've been through a lot in the past 6 months and just look at you now. You're growing in so many directions and it's all good. You're a survivor! You need no one to cling to, no one to pick up the pieces, no one to tell you what to do, how to do it, when, where, how or why to do it. You sound so confident and proud of yourself. It's all good, Mandy. No matter what life brings to you, you can handle it. I see many good things ahead of you and I believe you do too. Nothing witty from me this time. I'm just enjoying watching you close the old chapter of your life and watching you walk into the new one. Head up, back straight, smiling, confident, with a bounce in your step. Congratulations! You have graduated LIFE 101. Giant hugs and bunches of love. 💕💕💕

Great job, ignore the haters, they are jealous. You are an inspiration

"Diets" are doo doo! You do you! I feel like every time we take something we love out of our daily eating it just makes us want that thing more! If we eat the things we love in moderation whatever they are, we wont feel deprived and sad. No one should remove something just because other " people " say we shouldn't eat it. Low carb, no carb, no fat, low fat..whatever..it's just fad "dieting". Balance..and chocolate or pasta or whatever! Its ok! You look and sound so confident don't let any bad comments take that away from you. ❤

You look 10 years younger now than in the walking video! Amazing!

Mandy is such a sweety incredible woman , May God bless her and her children and give her what she desire , ❤🎉❤🎉

👍🏼 you and another creator helped motivate me to walk 30 minutes daily and I have been doing it, in hopes to also inspire our viewers to walk

Finally I found someone who I can relate to.. I'm 47 and I started going to the gym at the end of August. Even though I went there twice a week for the first two months and three since the middle of December (but then I took a break) I can see some changes. It's wonderful to see how much you have changed since you started your first 30 days of walking. You've been consistent no matter what and it's paying off❤. I still have to find my way to succeed but your videos are inspiring. I'm so lazy and the only thing I do at the gym is walking 40 minutes on the treadmill, 15 minutes on the elliptical and I spend one more hour at the thermarium. I tried working out with the personal trainer but I find it very boring and I could never working out by myself. We'll see 😅Go guuuurl ❤

You popped up in my yt feed the day before I start my 30 day walking challenge!! I don’t think it’s a coincidence. I will be following your channel to help keep me going. Thank you so much for your honesty and insight!! ❤❤❤

You have inspired to start taking walks after work again with my dog! My pup is so happy! 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️

Congratulations!! You got this!🥰🥰🥰

Incredibly inspiring. I am still walking because of you! Thank you for being so brave to share your journey! Keep going!

I’m so glad you enjoyed the holidays!!! Celebrate every day however you want to!!! Eat all the good stuff!!!! We only live once sweet girl!!! I think you’re beautiful and fabulous ❤❤❤❤. Block the old hateful people trying to dim your light!!!!

I'm doing the 75 Soft. If you want something that will challenge you, but you could see yourself sticking to it 90% of the time, its great.

You have had so many life changes over the last 6 months. Be proud. 🎉

❤❤❤Mandy, you are amazing! Thank you for sharing your thoughts and your journey. You are indeed strong ❤❤❤

Glad your going to the gym, myself felt the very same way as you. I got passed that over time and I'm so glad I started, thank you for the talk and I feel we CAN DO THIS! Have a Blessed day.

You are beautiful and grow more beautiful everyday. Ignore the haters, they have problems of their own that they probably can't overcome. They hate that others are succeeding. You go girl!

I just came from watching you in the walking video, and you look much younger here is crazy. That's awesome so great job!! 🙌🙌 I started ramping up my steps cause even tho i have been very active in the last 3 yrs I started slacking on my walking, so I'm watching everyone's 10k steps videos staying focused and yours showed popped up and I'm glad it did.

You are doing a great job and it’s really showing especially your confidence:) Most people don’t understand that you don’t have to go on a diet 99.9% of the time it’s just cutting back on how much you’re eating and so when you’re prepping your meals it’s just a very well balance of food:) I don’t know if you would share with us what your girls and your parents are seeing in you? Not asking for them to be on camera just what they see:) Is your mom still going to the gym with you? Keep up the good work:) Tfs and God bless:)

So happy you're sticking with it. My dislocated knee is finally better. Barely at the gym last year 😢 Made some lentil soup. And been eating on that a couple of days. Hoping to start off. 2 times a week on Wednesday and Thursday with hubby to go workout, grab groceries and go home. Making small meal plans ish. Finding cheap, healthier, easy options for food. Trying girl. Being on a budget and going through things too. We have to do it for us though and loving ourselves enough to simply be healthier for our future selves is a big deal. Already nervous and not going in for 3 days 😂

I did enjoy this video! I love your health challenges and your encouragement and comments on how you feel.

Way to go. going to the gymn. I am a 65yr. old woman, who is about 15lbs overweight. I am not someone who likes to workout in front of others. I have tapes of Leslie Sansone, during the winter, and walk outside rest of the yr. You look good, and like you are happier,and I am happy for you.😊

I love this. Love your confidence now ❤

You got this. Thank you for all you are doing! You are strong inside and out! 😊

Hi Mandy, thankyou for showing your journey ,you are an amazing lady,and have inspired me to do the thirty day challenge, will be interesting to see what happens, if l have the same sort of results,Julie from England ❤.

Thanks so much for sharing and staying strong.

2 RU-vid channels that helped me out a lot. Mind pump. Lane Norton bio Lane . keep up the good work you’re doing great

Mandy, you are such an inspiration! Thank you for your beautiful presence. 😊

Very proud of you, anytime you can celebrate life you do it,❤

Inspired by your videos and shared experiences!! Thank you so much as this as been an eye opener for where I am at compared to where I want to be. You are doing amazing and benefiting is so many ways! Keep up the great work!!

Ya done good, girl! I love all your updates! Keep 'em coming!

Love ❤️ you baby girl. Keep up the great work. Sending love ❤️ and hugs

You are really inspiring me. Thank you ❤

I think the Dr Livingood 30 day challenge. Is excellent as it share exercise, health choices and food. It was excellent even tho health issues stopped me part way thru. I am impressed with the changes you have made and it shows on your face! Looking good!

Go girl you can do it you're strong and God bless 🙏

You inspired me also. I watched your first video and a few days later,Feb.1st I started my own 30 minute 30 day challenge.

Hi Mandy im a New Subny here and im so proud of you keep flourishing and loving on you..

That 30 day post was my first time watching you and you had just posted it... I was drawn to the challenge but quickly identified as a woman who has been through the demise of a marriage. I prayed over you.. you were broken but fighting through with allowing the virtual world watching. Ignore the haters judging people clearly they need to get a life!

Good job Mandy! ❤

Hey Mandy! Greetings from Australia 🙋‍♀️ You are an over comer 👏so inspiring love your videos….

I'm so happy for you! I am debating on a walking pad at home or a gym membership. I just know me and doubt I will go to the gym regularly. But I'm struggling to find a walking pad with great reviews

Good 👍 video. Love 💕 and Hugs 💙💙💙

You keep going.

The voice you heard was the Holy Spirit 😊. How about 60 days with no processed food, no takeout/restaurants, no gluten, no sugar or any combination of these or just choose one?

You really look alot younger. You looked in your 50's before, no harm in that, but now you look and talk younger, like imnyiur 30's. Dont know what age you are.well done

Well, every living being on this planet is on a "diet," meaning that this word just describes what you eat. People need to stop using that word like a nasty word. I am type 2 diabetic and I had a very helpful dietician tell me to first don't feel guilty and beat yourself up cause you wanted that cake or whatever and that no foods are off-limits (unless you are allergic 😂). But the goal is to incorporate and plan for them so they don't negatively impact you. I have found over time that it has helped me make better choices because I didn't have to feel bad because I wanted a "treat" every once in a while. This advice helped me lose 30 lbs. Mandy found your channel because I have been going through something similar to you and felt depressed about myself and have gained half back. But I have been taking inspiration from you and making mindset changes and slowly get myself back and even becoming better than before. I am working on losing more weight, and each step helps. Keep posting the good, bad, and ugly as you help people see they are not alone in how they may feel.

Hey Mandy, how about another 30 day 30 min challenge?

I challenge you to find one new thing about yourself that you are proud of everyday for 30 days. You don't have to share them all but , please, share how you felt about doing it and how you feel after the 30 days ends. I feel like it is very empowering and important to acknowledge the parts of us that make us proud and I know many people who watch you need to learn to accept themselves and to love their own unique expression of what it means to be a human. We all vary every aspect of life so we have strengths and weaknesses. This is normal and to be expected. We need not feel shame that we lack skill at every aspect of life ; unfortunately many people do. Let's all learn to celebrate and be proud of our authentic selves and value ourselves the way our best friend does. Please and thank you.

The charged lemonade has a lot of caffeine in it - just be aware of that.
