i went back through people i started following and found this video of yours from a year ago. I have just started my journey of weight loss and this was so very helpful and inspiring
Oh we do so many of the same things!! When I was still driving truck I got up to my heaviest 244lbs. I ended up with an ulcer which caused a lot of weight loss which kick started me. I found that if I made myself smaller portions which really made a difference. I never deprived myself of anything just all in moderation. Now I'm doing intermittent fasting which for me is normally I only eat supper so I fast from around 5pm to 5pm the next day unless I have a later evening ice cream craving. It's been 8 yrs and I've been back up then down, but I'm REALLY trying now and am down 61 lbs so far. I'd love to get down to H.S. weight of 135...maybe I can do it before my 65 yr old body just gives up😆😆. Congratulations on your weight loss journey!! God bless🙏❤️🙏
You sound so much like me. Food is my “drug”. It’s so hard. I’m also diabetic. I have high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and I have non alcoholic fatty liver disease. I take a handful of pills every morning and night. I weigh a lot more than you do though. I have been gearing up to start again but that’s the hardest part and especially after losing and gaining so many times. I’ve been overweight 27 years. I’ve started so many times then give up eventually not because I’m not losing but because I’m tired of worrying about food constantly. Like you said I eat what I want when I want and watching what I eat is so much mentally. Congratulations on your weight loss.
If I can do it, anyone can! You have to take yourself off the back burner and make yourself a priority! You’ve got this!! Please keep me updated on how you do! It’s more than a day to day struggle for me, it seriously minute to minute!
@@amandapayne2629this popped up on my home page today. I’ve been on the monjauro a year now. Made a year July 18th. I’m down 110 pounds. 🎉 Started at 252.
Congratulations Amanda you have done and awesome job 👏, I wanted to lose 9 pounds and I lose actually 20 pounds and now I gain like 3 pounds back, but that is because l haven’t being consistent but I need to take my health seriously and continue losing weight and make the right choices when it comes to food ☺️, we can do it 🙌🏽
Those fake sugars like aspartame and sucralose in diet drinks and food are sooo bad for you. I lost a lot of weight a few years back and that was one of the first things I cut out of my diet. Unfortunately I’ve gained it all back plus some. I need to find my motivation again
@@amandapayne2629 that’s awesome!! Good for you! Around there is my goal weight and I made it there before. I’m so mad at myself for letting all my hard work go down the drain
I'm catching up with your videos, so I didn't see you when you were overweight. I thought I saw you injecting Ozempic in one of your videos. When did you start that, and how much did it contribute to your weight loss? You look great, and I think you look healthy. Take care, Linda 🦋
@amandapayne2629 That's wonderful! Sorry I didn't read the medication carefully. My son was put on Ozempic when he was recently diagnosed with diabetes. It has helped him. I'm concerned about the side effects, so I was interested to see what you experienced. Your A1C results are great, good for you! I'm sure you feel so much better.
