WHAT I EAT IN A DAY FOR WEIGHT LOSS AFTER A GAIN! Healthy recipes, my thoughts on WW 

I think the medications are another tool for those who feel they need it. Like surgery. It’s a personal choice. I don’t personally desire either but others may have different circumstances.

I think there is a lot of conjecture about what is going on with WW. I am a Lifetime member and they have not told me anything about the medication side that they are getting into. They actually bought a company that was involved with the medications and online prescribing. I don't think a person who has a small amount of weight to lose will be able to get the medication. You have to remember that for some people obesity is very, very unhealthy for them and they have not been able to lose any weight no matter what they do. There is a woman on youtube who had gastric bypass and is not losing. She has all kinds of health issues related to obesity. As a Lifetime member who has had to weigh in monthly they gave me a year of free WW and I don't have to weigh in. That is the only thing I have seen happen since this change with them. I work really hard to keep my weight down and it still has gone up a few pounds. I agree that a person should be ok no matter what their weight. I have had some miserable times in my life due to weight gain. I have struggled with overeating and it's not a simple problem.

Great video, thanks Amanda😊

So as a pharmacy technician here is my 2 cents lol 1. There are some injections that are specifically designed for weight loss versus just being diabetic. 2. There are some people out there who need them. They have tried everything and for their health this might be the step that prevents them from major surgery. 3. I don’t particularly like that WW is having doctors prescribe it for patients. I’d much rather than talk to their own doctors because their doctors have a bigger picture of their health and meds to know what would be best. I also understand that WW could be the most accessible way for someone to be seen and have concerns actually address. So overall as long as your are doing this for you health and not for disordered thought patterns (eating disorders, body dysmorphia, etc) or for a quick fix then go for it. Also side note: the is a high chance of regain once you go off the injection so be aware of that.

So random but QVC always has crazy deals with its cosmetics especially around Christmas

I was on saxenda for a few months. I will say the serious cancer side effects are extremely rare and the thyroid cancer specifically, is something very much geneticly associated. It does increase the risk but only if you were already at risk. That being said, I actually gained quite a bit of wait while on it due to other factors going on. I got a ton of G.I. upset and developed hypoglycemia symptoms. As soon as I stopped, the symptoms stopped. I also don't like how it's reducing the supply for actual diabetics. So yeah. Not for me but also to each his own

The flowers are beautiful. You would do a great job

What topping other than the croutons did you put on your salad?

Thank you as always for your time and efforts. I was not aware ww being involved with prescription drugs, I don't use ww and don't personally have diabetes however, I have family members who NEED the drug to help regulate their sugar and have a difficult time getting the prescription filled due to supply. Shame on WW, the health care professionals prescribing the "magic bean", and the pharmaceutical company that supports/partnered with WW. I personally don't buy much frozen or prepared food but if I did, I wouldn't buy any WW products as I know both my father and sister NEED this for diabetes and have difficulty getting prescription filled. Thank you again for your efforts

You should call your cafe “On Point” and make it ww community friendly. Use your platform to promote it. You could buy a mixed use property (cafe on bottom, living space on top) a lot of downtown communities have that type of property. Just a thought. I can see it too 🙌🏻You would be the sweetest host!

My thoughts are the shots are terrible! You are taking something you don’t need & it can cause bad side effects & long term damage. The worst part is they are causing a shortage of this medicine for the diabetics who really need it!!!!! They it’s INSANE!!!

Do you know if you can link a Apple Watch to the healthi app?

Omg Amanda that store idea is so perfect for you!! I would totally shop there for your bomb salads!! And your flower arrangements are so pretty.. do it girl!!❤

I agree, nothing is without risk and if you can do it with diet, exercise and portion control you will change your life in a healthy way. Change your lifestyle. Anything that comes easily isn’t worth it in the long run. Work for it, you’ll be more proud in the end…. Change your lifestyle, I get people are desperate but this is a fad and it’s also not good for a diabetic to not have access to medication they NEED to live, not just to “get skinny” because of over saturation of medical professionals etc taking advantage of people at their lowest. Big pharma is a game and the game is for profit.

Makes me question if this wasn't ww's plan for the last few years. I feel they have made the program harder than it's ever been making me feel like a failure and need a magic potion that can fix this. No thank you ww. I am going back to counting my calories it is so less restrictive and keeps me more in control, because counting calories you can literally fit anything into your day, Thank you Amanda for keeping it real, I appreciate you and your channel.

Im on the fence, my dr recommended Weightloss surgery😅 mind you im a year pp

I thought the injections are supposed to cause 10% weight loss, not 10 pounds. I'm not in favor either and I don't understand all the changes they keep making. We have no in person meetings near me anymore.

Where do I put your code in on the healthy app?

I'm not on WW or anything like that. I count calories and my dr prescribed me wegovy. I'm on week 7 and I've lost 25 lbs. It has helped me to stop obsessing about food. I still enjoy food but I can stop when I'm satisfied and I feel fantastic. From what I understand Ozempic is for diabetes and wegovy is specifically for weight-loss. Love your videos ❤

I totally agree with you about WW and not proud of the direction they are going. I stopped WW about 1.5 years ago after a 20 plus years on again off again relationship. Healthy is the goal and taking something to lose weight that ultimately can cause more significant health problems is counterproductive in my opinion. Not to mention people who are diabetic and truly need the medications may have a shortage issue which leads to price increase due to supply and demand.

With proper portion control and moving your body, you will loose weight. It’s just a matter of self control. I’m not for the injections but I don’t judge anyone who does it

THANK YOU THANK YOU FOR NOT SHYING AWAY FROM THIS TOPIC❤ I think it’s beyond sad for the founding members of Weight Watchers. That by no means supports better health.

Agree about the injections being dangerous and not in alignment with WW original mission. I felt WW became too expensive for the people who needed them most. I think greed has become their creed now. Your videos really help show that healthy choices can be yummy too.

I agree about the shot ... The people who need it are now having a hard time getting it due to this shortage because others are abusing it. Fast Fixes don't last.

So happy you do heath app I quit ww they went against everything they stood for the way they said loose weight get off meds reduction this is there downfall I love doing health thank God I found utubbers that gives me great ideas thanks

Hey Amanda! Love your videos, been watching for a long time. I started taking Mounjaro in September and have lost 47lbs. I feel amazing. I’m now off my blood pressure medicine, my RA is in remission and I don’t hurt anymore. My Pcos and insulin resistance is under control, and I’m having less side effects with that. I can’t say enough good things. It is changing my life. My dr went over the possible side effects of the medication with me. But honestly, other than some minor GI stuff when I first started, I have no issues. I am able to eat a well balanced diet everyday. It only help with portion control as I get fuller faster. But I feel like I don’t have to obsess with weighing my food and counting points, etc. I eat until I’m full and go on with my day. It has totally killed my sugar cravings and I haven’t binge ate since starting. Which is amazing for me. I know it isn’t for everyone, but it is changing my life. I don’t pay for it as my insurance covered it due to my Pcos/insulin resistance. I’m happy. ❤

I have no issues with the injections for weight loss purposes if someone is under the care of a doctor and have had discussions about proper use and side effects. I do have an issue with a company that profits off of diet programs promoting them at any capacity, ESPECIALLY if they are getting a kickback from it!

Love this beautiful healthy salad, do u live in a camper? Love it❤❤

I agree that it is completely absurd to be prescribing Ozempic for people who are not diabetic! I have lost all respect for Weight Watchers

How did you cook the zucchini?

I agree with you 100%, Amanda, regarding WW. I was on medicine for 5 years for Type 2 Diabetes and have been off of my meds for the past 6 months as my numbers are now in the normal range since losing 30 lbs over the past year. I had been on WW since I was 16 and am now 60. I have lost and gained weight over the years but got fed up with WW about 2 years ago. Now I count calories and am happy with all of my food choices. Thanks for all of your inspiration!❤❤

The Ozempic/weight loss injection trend is sad on many levels. Its sad that we are so desperate to feel better about ourselves that we are willing to risk our future health, its sad that we don't care if it leaves patients who need the medicine to live without their dose, doctors don't care that they could inform, educate and promote nutrition education and exercise, it's also sad that due to corporate greed our food isn't as chemical free and healthy as it should be and our health pays the price. Ultimately the best thing for physical health is to maintain our mental health, so thank you for your balanced, realistic perspective.I watch you from Dublin, Ireland and I am often jealous of your weather!! Keep up the good work on you and on the channel!

You look so pretty in this video! Where did you find those pumpernickel croutons… They look delicious! I was prescribed Ozempic, by my doctor two weeks ago, because I am diabetic. I have not filled the prescription yet. Because I’ve been so nervous about the side effects! Thank you for your thoughts on it. I purchased those Anthropologie knives a couple years ago, when you showed them… They are adorable! I am so hopeless… I am 54 years old and have to lose 125 pounds, so please keep these videos coming… They are wonderful and so helpful!!! You are so wise…for being so young, sweetie!!💞 ~Gina💜

Thanks Amanda for speaking about this - you have a great mindset to your body and weightloss, so it's very encouraging to know channels like yours are out there for people who want to do things the real, safe & healthy way. I always worry about (especially) young girls being influenced by such awful gimmicks like these injections , (imo) they are not even a quick fix, just a money making racket and potentially dangerous. I've never been on WW, but lost over 20 kilos in the last year and now am at my goal weight. I did it by reframing my mindset around food. For me it had to start with my inner self worth and confidence which I worked on a lot. I now feel better on many levels, not just my physical appearance. Keep going lady, you and Joey are rocking it xxx

As a former WW person, I agree with you, they’ve always promoted health along with weight loss and the injections seem to be so far from that POV.

Amanda, I am downloading the Healthi app but, I can’t figure out how to/where to put in your code for the $5 off. Any tips? ❤️

That salad looked so great and great idea breaking up the croutons cause I hate them when they are big as they hurt my teeth. Lol I have the regular CC cream but now I want the illuminating one as your skin looks great. Cause you are young with flawless skin

Hi Amanda! Love your videos. Just for clarification, WW is not promoting Ozempic/Wegovy or other weight loss injections on their site or in their meetings. They basically just purchased another company that offers these services. People may choose to utilize the injections and also follow WW, but the two are not tied together. Your sandwich looked amazing. 😀

Which weight loss plan do you use on Healthi? I have been watching your videos for years! I love you and your sweet hubby and doggies!

Amanda, I 100% agree with you on the weight loss people are using other diabetic injection medications too it’s sad people are trying to fix one problem then get other problems. 💕

Great food day ❤

I won’t lie I am so desperate to lose weight I actually considered the injections but after researching them decided against it ,I have mental health issues bipolar and borderline personality disorder and I don’t think it would mix well with my medication. But these companies selling it are vultures they know how desperate some people get to be thinner ! I love your channel as you approach weight loss in a healthy way , I want a salad now and it’s 23.30 pm in the Uk 😂.

I supported WW for years. Something happened to a leader and the way WW handled it gave me a very bitter taste towards them. I tried years later to go back and could not get the incident out of my mind. Thank you so much for being so open and honest on your channel

I love your videos Amanda! You’re doing a great job just continue on your path! I just turned 70 yrs old and I’m still trying to work on my weight loss! You inspire me beautiful girl…❣️

Amanda I beat myself up all the time...We have to love ourselves at any weight..I have type 2 diabetes..

have you ever tried the Garlic Expressions dressing? SO GOOD!

I totally agree with everything you said about weight watchers. I too have the healthi app, had it a year in January and I'm very pleased with better balance. Love your videos. You are inspiring and very real!! Keep up the good work!

Thanks for sharing Amanda! I love to watch your video's. In your cosy RV. The mascara you had on was beautiful. Gave you really long lashes. Also nice to watch how you prepair your food. Missed your sweet husband in the video.

Hi Amanda, Long time no see i haven't been watching video's in a while here on youtube but i'm back . Great video nice seeing you again. You look Amazing. I will be watching again you take care and have a Great weekend.

100% agree with you. You can do it on your own. You are proof of that it's not easy, but it can be done if you are a diabetic and you're having difficulty getting this medication. I don't think that's right to make it more difficult for people who really need it to get it.

Do you know if they will also require the people who get the injections to do some behavior therapy? What happens after the injections?

My boss is currently taking ozempic, she said it literally makes you dislike food and will make her nauseous. Which does not sound like a good time to me. She has lost some weight but not sure how worth it it is. Also Ted lasso is the best. We are rewatching season 1 & 2 before we start season 3. It’s definitely my favorite show I’ve ever watched. Such a feel good show.

Such great spring meals Ill have to try❤️❤️ unfortunately Montana still has so much snow but I love when you go outside and it's sunny and beautiful 💕

I agree with you 100%. It goes against every thing they have ever taught. I am so angry that they are doing this. It’s all about the $$$ now. And what happens when they stop taking those meds???? And now they are closing so many studios I guess they need to put all their money towards the telemedicine purchase. 😡. Love your videos. 😍😘🥰

Ooh yeah, I wouldn't want to inject myself either, risk aweful side effects, pay a lot of money, to only lose 10 lbs.... I've got at least 70 more to lose. Not worth the money IMO.

Hey girl heyyyyy❤🎉❤ Great vid! Thank you.

Build it and they will come! Let me know when you open up the coffee house! ❤❤

Thank you so much for your videos! I’m really enjoying binge watching them❤️ I have to say you are absolutely stunning!!

I got diagnosed with thyroid cancer last year so my doctor refuses to prescribe me these drugs. I was very interested in trying

It’s the new CEO of WW. She has made major changes, which in my opinion have ruined the brand. She closed the local Zoom Workshops leaving just a National Zoom Workshop. My workshop leader had been a leader for 40+ years and she was let go. I quit WW and made sure they knew why. As far as Ozempic. I’m a Type 2 Diabetic and I won’t even take it for my diabetes let alone just weight loss. Too many side effects. Thank you for bringing this up Amanda. The original founder of WW must be rolling in her grave at the changes being made to the program she created that worked for so many people. As usual with corporations it comes down to the almighty dollar!

I think there’s always going to be that quick fix promoted on the front cover…Ive gotten so used to it all- I roll my eyes and go back to what I believe in!!!

I did do the Ozempic injections and the side effects are sooooooooooooooooo bad! Like I woke up in the middle of the night w/ dry heaves and puked a couple of times! It was sooo bad all I could think about all day was how sick I feel and wanted it to go away. I lost 5 pounds FAST but I was sooo sick and thought being skinny is NOT worth all the sickness that it causes. Maybe others can handle it more than me.

Ok so I agree with you also a lot of people where either upset or confused on why ww is doing this

I’m glad you talked about WW too. My mom was on it and I was on it too and made friends with my leader, and now she’s leaving bc of all these changes. The brand has lost its original approach and are acting dangerously. I wonder what Oprah thinks about this. I for one am glad I left. They offered me $125 in a gift card to try this new program and am insulted they think that would be enough for me to retrigger any kind of ED I’ve had over my lifetime. I will take care of myself, thank you. Thanks Amanda for having a conversation about this.

everything looks good the food and the products ur hair is so glossy and pretty will do the recipes take care Mandy hello to you and all the family don't forget the little doggies In God we trust God blesses us all!!!!

You are spot on with ww. What you said was very sensible and I hope whoever takes that drug at least speak to their primary doctor.

You look stunning as always love …omg when I heard the bell I thought my cat was near me lol xx

The RV is looking so adorable! 🥰

Trader joes white cheddar puffs I think they are called, you get to eat a lot for not many calories🥰 popables are good though too

Hi! So how was the pork?

Hey Amanda! In the Sephora Perfume sampler set you got, there should be a certificate to redeem for a travel size/rollerball of one of the perfumes! I’m gonna have to try the Rosie sent. :)

Thanks for clearing up what was going on with WW. I totally agree with you about these injections. I have taken pills in the past and yes did lose weight, but put it back on and more when I stopped. Changing habits is definitely the key and I so appreciate your channel and love you and Joey so much!!

I recently went to the Dr and was talking with her about wanting to lose weight and requesting some blood work. Her first response was that she could prescribe me something to help with weight loss 😮 I was just blown away that was her immediate recommendations. I said no thanks, but I'd be interested in meeting with a nutritionist and here's the name of the specific one I'd like a referral to. No judgment to anyone who does, it was just disheartening that our medical professionals are being so quick to hand them out. I think drugs like that have their place but I shouldn't be step 1

Ur. Doing great you go girl

Love these videos! Keep them coming. ❤️

YOU are amazing and thank you for all your encouragement! Wishing you the best every day, with your journey. One day at a time. I've been with WW since 3/2 of this year and I'm never going to take any weight loss med. If my Dr. says it would be ok for me, I might re-consider. I'm already on so many meds, I really don't want any more! Good video, Amanda, and you are so worth it!!

Your home is so beautiful and cozy and I love your curtains Love your dogs and I put notes in my husband’s lunch box and we have been married 40 years and he’s also amazing…. Love your vlogs 👍👍👍🐶🐶

Girl, I’m OBSESSED with the Rosie scent - Dylan smells good too but I prefer Rosie and it’s my signature scent too!❤

Oh that insulin to you lose weight in Australia. We’ve had a six months no stock available because of this and I do feel sorry for the people that really do need it with the insulin that here in Australia they’re only giving people that has special approval to have it, but once the stock starts fine, need to come in again we don’t know

Your remodel is gorgeous! So bright and cheerful.

Ok I didn’t know you were supposed to change blush for seasons

How were the burnt ends?

Thank you for talking about this. I acutally had my doc recommend the shots for me. Yes my general practitioner.... and no I've never had diabetes. She only said that it was for diabetes but that a lot of people she took care of she gave it to them for weight loss and they had a great deal of success. NEVER mentioned the side effects. I put the rx in and my insurance company balked because I wasn't diabetic and said I had to pay out of pocket. 1100.00 a shot. I almost passed out.... but now watching this video of what all you explained I'm soooo glad I never got them. As far as ww is concerned the reason they've changed so much is the woman who originally started it sold it and the new people are now..... doing things like this 😢
