I am 71. Lost 25 pounds in less than a year. Daily treadmill and eating chicken, veggies and salads. A1C went from 6.1 to 5.6. No processed foods.
Congrats on the weight loss!!! Yes, it's a good rule of thumb. If you don't know what an ingredient is on the package, leave it at the store.😂
How wonderful
Congrats! Thats awesome!
Congratulations dawn that’s awesome. You have great cholesterol I’m 60 in June and my cholesterol is 322.I’m going to have to walk around the neighborhood a little more.my dad had cholesterol problems when he died and so does my younger sister.Keep up the great work
I lost 56 lbs in 10 months...my diet is...don't eat what makes you fat...imagine that. Few carbs, little sugar. Good healthy foods in smallish amounts. Never skip a meal. Your body will tell you when you are full. Healthy snacks of yogurt, fruit, veggies. No cake, muffins, cookies, sweets, one slice of pizza every other week with lots of salad, no ice cream. For me one mini piece of Hershey chocolate, bite size per week...no soda or fruit juice. I could go on but, common sense should be applied. The weight fell off me and cravings were barely there. Bread...none for first 5 months but 4 unsalted saltiness once a week with a bit of peanut butter...needed the crunch. Good luck...no cheating !!! But, if you do just go back to your program immediately. It worked and I am still loosing...20 more lbs to go...keep your eye on the prize...being healthy. 😂 ps...1/2 slice of healthy bread 3 times or less per week, but it will slow you down...better to forget the bread. I would use Romaine lettuce instead of bread with cheese and ham or chicken in between 2 leaves as a sandwich. A bit of applesauce once in awhile is sweet and yummy. No potato chips !!
Dawn you are taking steps to improve your health and that along with adding good habits will get you towards your goal.
I am always taking care of my health. Maintaining my weight is a daily process. It includes managing calories and walking for exercise. Rest is important too. And of course mental health is #1. I do very easy but consistent habits. I do things I enjoy. Don't attempt a new change unless you can envision doing it for the rest of your life. Baby steps will get you there :)
Love it
Great advice!
Hi Dawn. You may want to join a chair yoga class. All is done in a sitted position which removes the weight being a hindrance thing. You don't have to roll-around-on-the-floor, then jump up, then cross legs in a 'lotus' position as in a typical yoga class. I can tell you that it is low impact. You'll increase flexibility and reduce cholesterol.
Love it
My body wakes me up everyday between 6:30-7 am. Doesn’t matter if I go to bed at 9 pm or 10 pm or midnight. I’m up early.
We eat supper at 5-5:30 and no snacking after that. But I make sure our suppers have good protein in it. If it’s mainly “empty calorie” carbs, then I feel hungry in 2 hours.
140 is a bit high. High blood pressure can lead to heart attacks, strokes, blood clots etc etc. hope you can get that down. Keep walking and drink more water. I think you know all the ways you need to do that… just got to be consistent 😊
This sounds smart
140/80 is not awful. Maybe you had a little white collar, nervous about what all your results would be. Your cholesterol is GREAT! Blood Pressure: knock off processed foods and reduce salt intake. Your welcome, Dr. Sis 😆
I’ve had several doctors tell me that 120 over 80 is for someone that is extremely fit. That is just a guide they use in medical school. Do some homework for yourself before you start on medications. 🙂
I have an alarm set for 11:30, bed time, I may make it for 11:00 as to get to bed even earlier. I tend to stay up a bit more after the alarm goes off. I stay up to late on my Friday because Saturday is my only day off, sleep in.
It's interesting that you set an alarm for bedtime. I'll occasionally set one to get up. I may get up early for an appointment, but take a nap as soon as I get home, lol.
@@3TXSisters I will stay up to late if I didn't. Mine is set for every morning except Saturday mornings.
You're doing great, Dawn, trying to improve in different areas. I appreciate you sharing your life. I really recommend weight watchers. I am not a paid advertisement, just a very satisfied customer. Plus it is only 10 a month. I have lost on it and am not starving like other diets. I wish I had tried it sooner! Have a great weekend!!
I agree about WW!! It is a great diet plan. Nothing is forbidden! Back in the '90's I lost 80 lbs in 11 months. I kept it off for quite awhile and then it began to creep back on. Now I am doing the plan and want to lose 35 lbs. I've already lost 12 in one month! I am 69 years old and already my body does not hurt like it did.
Weight Watchers is a great program
We turn 66 this year. We walk 3 miles a day up and down hills and play golf 3 days a week from April til mid November. We are trying to eat mostly plants.
You have a very healthy lifestyle!
👋 hi, Are those lab results with medication? 🤔
I am on BP meds, but gave had them.cut in half
Wow, that cholesterol is amazing and you aren’t on a statin right?
I cut back on it
Yes, Dawn you have wonderful cholesterol numbers! In fact, I am a 30+-year vegan and you and I have the same cholesterol numbers!!
Statins are horrible
Dawn, would you Doctor prescribe Ozempic?
No, because I am not diabetic
@CentsibleLivingWithMoneyMom my friend, was prescribed it, and she isn't diabetic it has kick started her weight loss.
Keep walking and setting goals. Amazing job!!!!
I walk alot it helps with my mental health
That's great!
Keto low carb / carnivore!! People are reversing their diabetes and getting off all their meds autoimmune issues are going away they are healing themselves with this diet!! Also check out Dr Ken Berry!!
I'm on the glass of wine with dinner challenge 😊 So far, so good!
Just the chuckle I needed!
Wonderful!
That's great, keep it up! lol
Oh Dawn we just love you
Please do a video about a budget for beauty (hair care/ color, makeup, dentist/ teeth care, body & skin care, lotions, etc.) It all adds up!
Great idea!!
I keep track of every penny and analyze it each month. It really does help to see what you can do better. I am 46 and just finished menopause. I have never had trouble with my weight but can feel that my body needs less calories now. i eat two meals a day instead of 3 and that js helping me
How wonderful
That's great! 👍 ☺️👍
Do you have a blood pressure cuff? That is one thing that is well worth the investment. It is a good way to keep track at home. Healthwise, I just had my third surgery since November, all from a kidney stone. I am facing two more surgeries, which should resolve the issue/damage caused by the monster stone. As a nurse, I do not like being the patient!
Also besides the blood pressure cuff, it would be a great idea to also have/use a blood sugar meter.
Yes, I do have one
@@CentsibleLivingWithMoneyMom 👍
Oh, my goodness. You've had a rough time! My son has a problem with kidney stones. He has a very high tolerance to pain, but the kidney stones are so painful. I hope your surgery alleviates the problem. Good luck!
@@3TXSisters Thanks. It has not been easy.
Appreciate your honesty and openness. 😊
I appreciate that!
Try fasting too
Going in so many different directions trying to accomplish these many things at once will results in certain failure. Try concentrating on one thing at a time. Also if you were never tracking all spending then your budget was never under control. You could just designate a monthy amount as misc and call it a day. Nitpicking every catagory is tedious and unnecessary.
Hi I like you because you are a straight talker. You have won the biggest battle which is taking responsibility for yourself. I started watching for tips and encouragement to learn frugality. I am 72 and follow advice from Dr Eric Berg on a low carb diet. It takes a while to learn these things. For starters, switch to sweet potatoes, cutting out rice, pasta and white potatoes and bread. Read all the labels and eliminate any thing with high fructose corn syrup, or soy lecithin. You wind up cooking front scratch. Fry with butter.or olive oil. Salad dressing becomes olive oil and Apple cider vinegar. Coffee is served black. Get rid of vegetable oil. I also watch Dr Sten Ekberg and Dr Ken Berry. If you go down this path you will get really healthy in a couple years, learning to switch to different kinds of food. One secret I can give you, catsup or ketchup has lots of sugar. Switch to Great Value Sone Ground mustard. It's the only one made from just mustard seeds, has a good taste and it's very affordable for the frugal minded.
Good words! Dr. Berg is great too.
You are so kind
Less calories, more walking! Not easy
As my doctors always say: “you can’t out exercise a poor diet.”
Very true
I went carnivore. In 2 weeks I went from 220 blood sugar to 85. My blood pressure went from 190/100 to 117/70. In just 2 weeks! I was very skeptical about this diet and it really works.
@TheyCallMeJTK Fantastic! That's really amazing and very quick too!
Congrats
We are doing low-carb keto!! We love Dr Ken Berry and Dr Berg!! Everyone is healing all of their issues with this diet!
Typically, when I go to the doc, the Medical assistant will take my BP soon after walking to the room. They usually don't instruct me to relax my arm or do anything that would result in a normal BP so, invariably, my BP is high. When the doc comes in, they will comment on my high BP and take it again and it's usually normal.
Same here. I say “No, it’s a long drive here. Give me a few minutes to calm down.” It’s normal for BP to fluctuate with activity and rest. We aren’t supposed to know that.
Your BP, reduce sodium, avoid processed foods, beef jerky, shed excess weight, that's the best remedy. Your ❤ works a lot harder pumping blood through the body mass = weaker ❤ down the road. Good luck!
Your lab numbers are fantastic!
You have been an amazing team member. Thank you for challenging yourself to move everyday. I’m so proud of you. ❤.
Thank you
Keep up the walking it will help with physical and mental health. Health is a strange thing. My husband and I are very active. We eat basically a non processed diet. He works, and I worked till we had children and then stayed at home. This might help with my food choices since i am not tempted to eat in town. Now that we are in our 60s, he has high bp/mine is normal. He has pre diabetes, and my blood sugar is normal. The kicker is I have slight elevated cholesterol his is below normal. My good cholesterol is in the high range. His is in the low range. We are perplexed by it all. So far, I have been able to stay off any type of medication. Diet and exercise are hard, and i can't say i enjoy it, but it has kept me off of any type of medication. My husband has had to start low amounts of medication. I'm so glad the winter months are over, and it makes it easier to eat fresh veggies and walk more.
You are doing great
It sounds as though you're both doing better than most. Your higher cholesterol may be due to your genetics. You'll just have to work harder than your husband, darn! Good luck!
Hi Dawn,
Tracking your spending is a great tool to help lower spending. I started in January and have two months' worth of data. It really shows you where you're at so you can take action if need be and make more informed decisions with your resources. I take inspiration from you, always trying to improve and seeing what you can do. Keep up the fight, and don't stop walking!!
Thank you very much
Great advice!
i used to have 120 /80 blood pressure all thru my youth, now at 68 its been 140/95 and such for a few years, they put me on lisinipril that is made from snake venom and did i ever have horrible side effects, now i take 2.5 mg of amlodipine and its much better but still have around 135 /90 and such but they lowered the bp acceptability rate few years back and put millions of both young and old people on meds, millions cause many will never see 120/80 again
I think it is possible
I stretch when I wake up in bed before getting up. While laying on my back, I stretch my legs out pointing my toes. I bring one leg up bending my knee, clasp my hands below my knee and bring it down toward my chest as much as I can. Put it down and do the other. I do both those exercises several times. I reach my arms toward the ceiling and stretch as much as I can as if reaching for the ceiling. I bend my arms and each hand grasp the other arm, Indian style. I then twist left elbow toward right side, then same with right, do several times. This limbers me up safely so I can get out of bed and downstairs before I do some other exercises on a couple pieces of equipment while watching news and weather.
Same here! I do smy tretches before getting out of bed. I will also lay on each side and do leg lifts. And I walk 15 minutes almost each day on my treadmill. Working my way up to 20 minutes a day or at least 5 out of 7 days. Treadmill is one of my best investments!
Wonderful
That sounds great!
I love your goals, and your blood work sounds great. Sometimes my blood pressure is high just when I go to the doctor because I do not like going to the doctor. I am in my mid 50s, and I understand about losing weight. It is hard, especially since going through menopause. My big thing is motivation and late night, snacking, too. I’m trying to work on it now as my clothes don’t fit so well anymore.
I'm trying to break the late night snacking, too! It's a difficult habit to break.
I like to do stretching in bed (gravity eliminated) and then i get up do stretches with gravity as you showed. Really listen to your body. I do not subscribe to "no pain, no gain".
Me neither!
Your labs are great! Good for you! Keep walking! ❤
Thank you, I will
You best be foods shop according to blood pressure etc.
You did so well with all of your challenges!:) Your labs were in range I know that makes the doc happy. I need to try simple gentle stretching.
You might enjoy taking a chair yoga class!
Oh yes!
Do you go to the doctor monthly and have a blood test? Every time I see my doctor he tells me I need to lose weight too. This Sunday, I'll share my
Monthly budget.
Great. I go every 4 months
Have been thinking about eating on 2 to 3 dollars a day at least 2 or 3 days a week, think it is still duable . Yes I would like to see a video on that. thanks Dawn.
That's interesting. I've watched videos like that. The meals aren't usually that healthy, but they will feed you for less.
Your blood work results are great! Thanks for sharing on the stretches. 😊
Thank you
In my 81st year and gettin' tired - as in TARD! So glad your doctor recommended those gentle stretches first thing in the AM. Your blood work is admirable! Still struggling here with the blood sugar but at least A1C under 7.0 at 6.8. Bladder an issue but overall I'm just grateful as things could be much worse.
You're so right! I'm glad you're checking in with your doctor regularly. Bladder issues can be serious as we age. My mother is almost 91. A few years ago, she let a bladder infection go until my son, who lives nearby, carried her to the car and drove her to ER. She stayed a month in the hospital and another 30 days in a rehab facility. She's not regained her strength to the level it was before the hospital stay. Just a cautionary tale. ☺️
@@3TXSisters Thank you for the info. I do get my urine checked for infection periodically due to "urgency on top of urgency." Zinc oxide is helpful for diaper wearing.
You have to stretch your body before and after workouts.
Start slowly.
After all,the universe was not made in one day.
Avoid excessive sodium,sugars
I do my stretches, in bed.every morning.....works for me !
Love your new hair color Dawn.
Love you and appreciate you, too, Dawn. I am setting goals and grappling with myself - I am shifting my focus to what "is," and not "what used to be." I'll let you know how that goes.
Let's talk later
Great mindset!
I try to arrive at my doc's office early so I can hopefully sit a bit in the waiting room, relax and breathe. These days, I walk to the office as it's only 10 minutes away, and I enjoy walking everywhere I can anyway. When I had the car, I'd sit in the parking lot for as long as I could before going in. I usually try to get an early appointment. I always have to ask the nurse what my BP and weight are, which kind of bugs me. It must be a really sensitive topic for a lot of people. I try harder to behave myself about a month before my appointment diet-wise and weigh myself at home, since I figure their scale is probably more accurate than mine. Lol. I thought I was home free this last time, but the doc and I had a discussion about starting a statin - my cholesterol has been borderline for a couple years. I told her I really didn't want to, since I know by my own research that there has been controversy about statins for a couple years. Long story short, I'm now doing atorvastatin but am unhappy about it. It's always something with these doctors, isn't it??
I was running late
I think if you can get your cholesterol down, you'll be able to get off the medication.
@@3TXSisters It has been gradually dropping for several years, and she was very impressed at my last yearly visit. Nope, this time, with the level the same as last year, she got in my face several times, insisting it's genetic. She practically screamed at me, I'm not kidding. I'm 70, have hypertension that's been well treated for years, exercise daily and stay physically active, have lost weight over the past two years and am truly in better shape than my younger brother and sister. I've never smoked or drank. Get this - the doc herself is most definitely overweight herself and probably in her 30s. I bet I could outwalk her any day of the week.
@@cynthiamurphy3669 I think it's time to find another doctor. It's unacceptable for a doctor to get in your face, imho. Very disrespectful!
@@3TXSisters I agree and was wondering if all the docs in this practice think like she does. There are at least four other docs there, and it looks like they all have their own assistants and maybe nurses (?) so I don't know who to ask. She did calm down and patted me on the knee (!) and told me she had many much younger patients on statins, that it wasn't my fault, that nothing I can do at this point will drop the borderline levels. Yes, I could tweak my diet a bit, but she said it wouldn't matter. Again, to her, elevated cholesterol levels are genetic (and yes, my brother and sister have both been on statins for years). I think she was very aggravated that I dared to challenge her a bit. My sister told me her doc (in another practice) was "mean" also. Lol.
Exercise is also important for your brain health
True!
Dawn, I do an under desk elliptical instead of long walks. My legs don't hurt with this kind of exercise. I suffer from venous stasis and varicose veins. It's a wonderful piece of equipment that I use 1-2 hours each day (wearing compression socks). It has saved me. You're doing well, and have a plan. It doesn't get any better than that 🌈
This sounds great
Good for you! 👍☺️👍
Hi Dawn,
I'm approaching my 77th birthday and have survived breast cancer and chemo and have had my infected gall bladder and thyroid removed. I was feeling so miserable and packing on the pounds last fall. I was taking care of everybody and everything else but me! With my son's coaching I began intermittent fasting 5 months ago. It has literally been a life saver! I've lost nearly 30 lbs but more importantly I feel so much healthier and happier. My b.p. and cholesterol is down so my doctor is happier too!😊 I'd advise anyone like me who never stuck to a diet to consider intermittent fasting. It can be very simple, cheap and effective. You just eat fewer hours of the day.
Just make sure you don't eat after an early dinner up through to breakfast. And you can drink water, coffee or tea during fasting hours. Anybody can do that! You can stay at that time frame until you get the hang if it and then gradually begin eating a little less at a meal or fasting just a little longer. It's not a diet and no food is tabu during your eating hours. You just find you fill up quicker and don't eat out if boredom after awhile. Your starch and sugar cravings are much less over time. Which lets you burn stored fat for energy. You don't count calories or get discouraged. Healthy weight loss is supposed to be slow...but steady. Maybe a pound or two a week at most. Any more than that (unless you are a marine recruit in basic training) means you are losing good fluids or muscle!
This has taken all the guilt and misconceptions out of the issue for me. It's a lifestyle I feel I can embrace ongoing. I'm halfway to my goal weight. There is no program or work out to sign up and it actually saves you money. My grocery bill is now half what it was! I eat two meals a day now instead of grazing all my waking hours like I did before! The doc said on my next visit he is going to reduce my b.p. and cholesterol meds. And eventually I may be off them completely.
How wonderful
This is one if my most favorite comments
That's great! I'm so glad this is successful for you. IF has so many benefits.
Your bloodwork is great!
The odd blood pressure could be from a million things. One time I drank a lot of water because I was doing a challenge and my BP was higher than it normally was. Next visit I was back to normal.
I try to stretch a bit before I even get out of bed but I’m going to add the one your doctor recommended.
My March goal will be to some weight. I’ll be happy with 1 lb. 😀. Something to get things rolling.
I agree
I started doing yoga a year and a half ago. One of the best things for me ever. Last year I went one day a week. Sometimes two. This year two days a week. Sometimes three. I have a great teacher.
Wonderful!
That's great!
Dawn, Hibiscus tea is notorious for lowering BP
I have some hibiscus tea...but haven't been using it much so far. I think I may start drinking that more though, because as you said, it's supposed to lower BP.
@@Sheryl777i find it very tasty. In summer u can chill it and add mint

I love that
You Got This Dawn👍 Have A Fabulous Weekend ❤
Thank you! You too!
👍😊❤️
Your blood work was great. As you may remember i lost 70 pounds at age 72 with no exercise. Just eliminate ALL processed food and eat whole foods you like. You can do this, just stay away from extremes one way or another.
Love this
Great advice!
Keep moving! You may want to do measurements instead of concentrating on the scale. Keep up the good work!
Thanks for the tip!
Do you monitor your Blood Pressure at home? It would be good to that since you got a high reading. Like twice a week .
And a blood sugar meter too...test an hour after eating to see which foods raise blood sugar and which ones don't.
@@Sheryl777 I think her sugar levels have always been fine
Yes, I do sometimes
Yes, they have
@@CentsibleLivingWithMoneyMom 👍
Your check up is good because you have positive goals and it shows you’re getting them accomplished!
Me? I had a set back, I will regroup. Instead, I’ve added more art time to a day and do leg lifts from a chair. Every motion helps!
You're right about movement. If art relaxes you, the more the better! Good luck! 👍
@@3TXSisters thank you! CT today 🤞🏼
Good luck Mom!

Praying it improves
My blood came back great! My A!C was 7.1! I’m going Monday for x-ray of lungs to see why I’ve have persistent cough.
Wonderful
My daughter-in-law has had a persistent cough, too. Hope you can find some answers! Congratulations on your A1C. Good luck!
It was fun being in the steps challenge with you!!
Thank you

My blood pressure can be high at the doctor's office. I've usually rushed to get there, and I have a little "white coat" syndrome, lol. I will ask them to take it again if I think it's high. I'll take 4 breaths in and release slowly after each breath. It seems to work for me. You may not have done as well as you wanted; however, you're still exercising and getting your steps daily. That's improvement. I haven't weighed in a while. We're in the apartment in Houston, and there's not a scale. I feel as though all I've done is eat since we got here. Yuck. I just hope I don't gain too much before my next doctor's appointment. I think your bloodwork was good overall. Most of us can do better dieting. I know I can. Good luck! Love to all, Linda 💕
I was 3 minutes late
@@CentsibleLivingWithMoneyMom That'll do it!
Weight Watchers is only $10. A month. You will spend a little more on good foods. I lost 45 lbs. all can be done one line, very flexible foods.
Get more exercise like buy an inexpensive push mower, weed eater, you will save money and loose inches. My battery weed eater cost less than $80. I have been using an old gas push mower for years. New electric are less than $300. Over the years you will save big, and get your body moving. And I live in south western Okla. it gets hot, plus you have a husband and daughter. My favorite time to mow is about 9 am, any dew on the grass burns off, but still fairly cool.❤
Hi Dawn - I'm currently working on strengthening the hip musculature, lats, and obliques on my left side. I've found I have a muscle imbalance and my right side is now overcompensating and getting tight. Also I'm working on gradually working up to using a 3/4 pound jump rope. The key word there is "gradually"! 😊
Best wishes
Good luck!
My days and nights are mixed up. I get enough sleep, BUT just at the wrong time. Need to find a place to get Harleys food at a better price. Working on paying off my credit cards. Not moving much I have a low income. Social security (1225 a month) a lot better than it was. I find when SS goes up so do prices on everything else. So why even get a raise. Guess that's my chapter for today. Everyone have a great weekend. Special thank you to Dawn for her great tips been with her since I found her about 3yrs ago. Reminds me of my youngest daughter their the same age. Wish my daughter was as frugal as Dawn. Oh well later. Stay tuned for my next chapter 😊.
It's difficult for me to get to sleep, too. Hope you can get on a better schedule. I like having a raise, lol. It is hard when everything seems to be more expensive. It's up to me to find alternatives or lower prices, always a challenge.
Good on you. Keep up the good work!
I lost 1 size in clothing without losing any weight on the scale. Been doing Leslie Sansone's Walk at home videos since December 2023. I decided to count calories 2 weeks ago bc I'm sick of being swelled up, my clothes not fitting and ppl mistaking me for 10 years older! Already lost 1 kg (a little over 2 pounds) the first week.
Congrats
If you want some up to date videos for women our age, I highly recommend the Improved Health channel.
Her videos are easy to follow & fun to do. I used to do them many years ago, & forgot all about them till you mentioned them.
That's great!

Hi Money Mom!
Howdy
Read Dr. Fung’s books obesity code or diabetes code, go on a 16:8 fast by shortening your eating window from 9 or 10 am to 6 or 7 pm. Toss out all the cookies, crackers, pretzels etc. and don’t eat between meals.
Great advice
Yep, toss that s*** out
I have been doing intermittent fasting for 5 months with great results. I've really been researching on line as I have been going. My son and I are fasting buddies and he's a great coach! Learning that addiction to refined sugars and carbs is an evil plan foisted on us by a greedy food industry has changed my whole relationship with eating! The deck is stacked against us to make us feel it is our fault somehow that we can't lose weight while we are being constantly pounded with ads on all media to eat more of the bad stuff.
So we feel bad about ourselves and the diet industry and big pharma are there eagerly waiting to suck us into their craziness. The true answer lies within us to make lasting changes and in our ability to see thoughts lies and money making scams. It's not our fault that our guts get altered by the food that is readily available to us.
My new hobby is reading food labels at the grocery store. HIGH FRUCTOSE CORN SYRUP is one example which should have a poison warning label on it! Just one of many. 😮
My iron level is good ..I'm usually anemic ..my cholesterol is high and I take Lipitor and fish oil pills and went vegetarian..im also in obesity ..WAITING for a sleep study I have mild sleep apnea
Best wishes
Hope the sleep study gives you some answers!
