I am that “tiny” girl you referred to. I am well under five foot and at one time weighed ninety pounds. Three children, divorce, death of both parents and one granddaughter later I am almost doubled in weight. I am almost seventy and had given up. Thank you for inspiring me to try once again. You are so honest and kind! May I add that you have a beautiful soothing voice.
I am the one!! And you have touched me.... I’ve been on WW’s 2 months now, down 19 lbs and my struggle is real. Thanks for the pep talk, I so needed that today!!
After losing 120 lbs, I feel like a new person (at age 74). My mantra was To thine own self be true. You are what you eat. These words aren’t original, but they keep me on track. I’ve been on maintenance for 2 1/2 years. Lots of struggles, but so very worth it! I deserve to be healthy (off 4 major meds,), look good and feel good! Knowing I can adjust foods for lower points enables me to eat tasty foods. I Stay away from fast food. Enjoyed your 11 reasons for success.
But I miss my three-cheese macaroni and cheese by the bucket:-/.......I could eat two large pizzas in one sitting. Giving up all my great fast foods makes me feel as though life is not even worth living.
Amanda Garcia I had a stark realization about my relationship with food when my ex-husband told me I loved food more than him! Took a divorce and many years of physical discomfort before I could face that!
Victoria Sugent Yes! I am a devotedWW member. I struggle to stay within my goal range. Right now, I’m trying to get 3 lbs off! My weight varies so much in a week’s time, it is disheartening and puzzling. Although all the literature says I should be able to maintain with 28 points, that’s usually not the outcome. For two years, I zoomed through maintenance eating 23 points but these last three months I have only seen goal weight twice. Just keeping the faith and looking forward to a new plan choice next month.
Omg u are the first one who fully seems to understand my pain. I’m 47 and at 277 lbs. and have gained over 40+ lbs within the last year. Going through remission from breast cancer and currently recovering from a hip replacement I have put on so much weight. U really seem to get me. Only thing I didn’t like about weight watchers was obsessing over points all day and counting, calculating, and looking up points everyday . It seemed to make me hungrier from the stress and frustration but I’m gonna try again. I wish I could hug u. God bless u and Thank u ❤️
Don’t give up Pennie. You obviously are a fighter to survivor cancer (awesome). WW is so much easier than it used to be. It has three plans to choose from and they help you choose. I am on purple. Cheering for you! 💕
OMG you are the most inspiring, genuine down to earth person, I don't even know you and I want to be your friend. Thank you for you honesty and sharing your journey, I am 58 about to turn 59 and have never struggled so much in trying to lose weight. I will continue to watch your videos and know that I am cheering you on, good luck to the both of us!!
Try KETO, I’m 57, started the diet mid-August 2019, it’s Oct. 3, and have lost 15 lbs. not exercising, AND NOT HUNGRY. I eat twice a day, NO SNACKING. So freaking easy, don’t have to count points, cut out flours, sugars, breads, sodas etc. NO JUNK. Types of calories matter- eat protein, fats( mainly Olive, Coconut, Avocado, butter), vegetables, very few fruits- mainly berries. Dense calories that satiate. PS. I am menopausal. Go watch Dr. Eric Berg for more info. Weight Watchers is sooooo laborious, that’s why so many people fail. PPS. If you can control your insulin, you will lose weight, because your body will start burning it’s own body fat stores. Carbs, sugars are store as fat, that is what the body burns first, then it starts burning fat. Plenty of videos on KETO will explain it better than I can. KETO recipes are also super easy because they are, usually, around 4-5 ingredients.
@@donnaoberlin3431 Thank goodness there is someone closer to my age whon has had success on Keto. I had lost about 10kgs/25lbs about 35 years ago and now being a lot larger and older I must embark again on a diet and now it is a whole lot harder. With your positive results and although there are so many foods I will miss I am also aware that Keto will/should/definitely will work for me. As Ms. Bobbie Kroppe says, frequently duing the video, everyone is different and our bodies are different and we have to find something that works for us, the individual. So with both you ladies and your positive results I shall go forth and lose the many kilograms that I am currently carrying about!
Thank you for your sweet honesty. I have lost the same 20 pounds on WW for 50 years. Now I'm 73 yrs old and will retire for the second time. So this is IT! I will keep going. Thanks again. God bless you.
Im 60 and i just started WW last Saturday. I lost 3 lbs. I quit smoking almost 2 years ago and i gained more weight. I am over weight to begin with. I cant live without my coffee mate hazelnut creamer. I switched to sugar free. I'm adjusting. The best thing is I'm not hungry and I'm not using all my points. I have more energy and i feel much better eating cleaner. You have a alot of good point's. I subscribed for more. Thanks!
I used to think I could not live with coffee mate hazelnut creamer too!! That was many years ago for me. Here is my tip..buy organic coffee medium grind. Then buy organic heavy cream. I only use 1 tsp. creamer so I do not spike my insulin. When losing weight I have found that the Keto plan with intermittent fasting is the easiest for me. I am 67 and just lost 30 pounds in 3 months without thinking about food all the time. If you think about your health and how you want to feel for the last 20-30 years of your life then changing your diet and lifestyle is a no brainer. There are great videos on you tube...Dr. Jason Fung, Dr. Berg to name a few that I watch. To get a good nutritional lesson watch Robert Lustig. You will probably need to learn about reading labels. I also take things with me in a little cooler bag when I go visit family even though my family eats well I still want my own things. Do not use half & half..use heavy cream, but not ever more than 2 tbs. You do not need artificial sweeteners if you let your taste buds get healed to enjoy coffee without sweetness. You can loose weight without severe cravings by not eating carbohydrates all day. Your body can use fat as fuel if you know how to eat. ( I do not have to rely on mental tricks anymore because this lifestyle works for my body...not weight watchers or pre packaged chemical laden diet foods. Good luck.
Hi Cindy! I'm glad you found me as well! I'm with you!!!! It's hard to watch a 20 or 30 year old tell me to lose weight - they just have no idea how much harder it is after 50. Keep going - You can do it!
My Sentiment exactly! As soon as I found Bobbie I was so happy to find someone closer to my age category to know how much harder it is to lose cuz our metabolism changes to older we get,,,love you Bobbie-I was so inspired from you that I related so much that it really hit home that I just started to cry with relief how crazy is that?! Thank You both and Good Luck n Congratulations for your loss! I never ever thought I’d ever say that in the same sentence lol Thank You for your Inspiration n encouragement I’ll keep watching your Chanel to definitely learn more about the revamped branding n I will be joining once again
Dr. Mcdougals starch diet ( and challenge) i lost 20 pounds in under a month. Maintained for 3 years, i do not follow his 'diet' based which is based on the diet of everyone thru history, worldwide- until capitalized farming/ groceries came in . His research made an Interesting read and made sense. If i were much younger i might follow it closer, but still love my meats and icecream and twinkies . Thank heavens i love potatoes corn and rice !
This is seriously the most inspirational WW video. Fifteen years ago, I did weight watchers, followed the plan, kept a food diary and the group weigh-ins. I felt hungry all the time and had a very slow weight loss. I discontinued because the group coach said something was wrong. It takes forever for me to drop five pounds and keep it off. I began recording my nutrients and discovered that I was eating huge amounts of salt each day. I ate too much prepared and restaurant foods. However, I never ate a lot of food, rather I ate small amounts of bad foods for weight loss. I believe most people overlook the amount of salt in foods and salt is just as important to limit as sugars. Most low-calorie foods and meals will replace the sugars with more salt. Once our bodies limit the salt intake, then food cravings can push a person to eat more food, especially salty foods.
You're just the sweetest :) I lost weight (about 40 lbs) last winter, and ended up putting 30 back on. So now I'm floundering trying to decide which program or whatever is best. I think you're right about not restricting a food group entirely. I'll give weight watchers another look, it's been quite a while since I tried them. Thanks for sharing your story!
You really spoke a lot of words that explain how I feel while I'm so overweight. I just started my WW journey 4 days ago and I've already lost 5 pounds. I know this is a LIFESTYLE for me. I really really like it. I plan ahead and track everything. My husband is doing this with me and it's just great. I'm proud of you for stepping out of your comfort zone and losing that weight!
I have been wanting to start some program. I am at my heaviest weight ever at 69. Very frustrated, blaming my hormone imbalance. I will start to correct that, but your video gave me a strong handle to grasp for daily eating. The point system is so sustainable. Feeling confident now.. will look into Weight Watchers.! Thanks so much for your honesty and willingness to share! You look great!! 🤩😍
Awwww. You are Godsend. I found your channel last night and I am loving it all. But you brought me to tears with this video. I exactly at that stage were something is got to give. I have to do this because it is my health. I am 49 and dealing with certain things. I am pear shaped like you as well so I totally get you. And it is so hard to not eat something you crave. But your words have made perfect sense. Thank you for the amazing encouragement and vulnerability. You are such a beautiful woman inside and out. I am literally sharing your videos with my friends. I know this was filmed a few years back, but it’s so good. All my love, Lucy
I am so glad I found your channel! You are very honest! You encourage me to do better on my journey! I have been on weight watchers for about 2 years. I lost 40 pounds the 1st year! I moved and have gained back almost 10 pounds. My goal was to lose 50. I needed to hear your words tonight, as I have struggled with a sweet tooth for many years! I look forward to following you on RUclips and Instragram as well! You are a genuine soul!
I just signed up for WW. Used to be on it years and years ago. I am now coming off of a low carb lifestyle (Trim Healthy Mama). That program worked for a couple of years. Then the scale started climbing even though I was still eating on program. Every diet I have been on has been that way. It works until it doesn't work. Knew I had to change it up in order to get the scale back down. I am 54 and also now approaching menopause so that is also working against me. I am praying that this new WW will work for me. Found your channel and just subscribed since I feel I can get some incite into losing weight when you are over 50. Looking forward to watching more of your videos.
You made me cry!! I think I cried because I’m the one you were talking to. My doctor told me just this morning I have to lose weight. I think she’s tired of being nice about it and finally just said in no uncertain terms you must lose weight. I appreciate your 11 tips. I think they are All logical and helpful. Thank you so much. You came on my list at just the right time. God bless you. I’m very impressed with your progress. You look great!!
You can do it!!! I've been on a weightloss program for almost a year(Weight Watchers for me but not pushing a particular program) and its do-able. One day at a time. I'm safely away from diabetes and still working on high blood pressure.
Congratulations! Awesome! Well Done! I started my own wait loss journey about 6 months ago and have lost 30 pounds. Your tips were great. I feel I finally found the secret sauce after years of yo-yo dieting. It’s hard to explain the shift in my brain. I really related to your journey, I am 50 and also was 150 pounds in high school and thought I was fat. Thank you for being so brave with sharing, your weight loss journey, I look forward to other videos.
This is the FIRST 'how to lose weight' type video i've found that had made me break down and cry. THIS is me, I AM there...at the very beginning and it SUCKS and i am scared. I've also done the WW programs MANY MANY times, not all were successful but a few were and it is a great program. Thank you SO much for putting yourself out there, i am so glad i found you!!! I will be binge watching all of your videos right away!

It's free to join and it's a very positive group of women. We have over 1000 members who are sharing such amazing information and encouragement. Here's the link: bit.ly/3eAvkmV
So proud of you. I am 59 yrs old. I am 18 years long WW Lifetimer. Once I reached my goal I alway thought I would never let myself get five pound over my goal. It is a doable goal. In 2019 I went back to WW and lost an additional 10 pounds on the new program( new to me). I feel great. But most all I love WW. IT IS A GREAT PROGRAM. Keep it going, you can and will do it. I am very happy for you.
Thank you for sharing your experiences with us! In 2018, I lost 60 pounds. Then, in 2019, I gained 20 back. I am currently on a journey to lose that 20 pounds AGAIN.
I love your optimistic attitude! I'm 65 and I totally relate. I've lost 70 lbs. but I need to lose 50 more. It's a slow process for me. People do judge, I've been laughed at and called names but now it's about me not others who don't understand. Thank you for sharing, you are a beautiful person in and out. I love your emotional, you are real! 💕💕💕
I was doing well on program (started it I. April). Then I had two devastating life events. I lost my job. Then a month later I lost my mom. To say I derailed was an understatement. I was a full on Amtrak 300mph train wreck with myself as the only casualty. I managed during that time surprisingly to loose one pound between weigh in’s on July 12 through my next meeting and weigh in on October 1. I counted that as a win! I’m still struggling but I’m not going to give up. Thank you for this video! I needed your “mantras”. I will be using them. I am a nurse in a nursing home setting so families are ALWAYS feeding us as a way to show appreciation and it is HARD to resist. I have 5 days off and I’m planning on getting meals prepped for success when I get back to work and I just got my free WW cookbook so I am going to teach my husband how to use it to cook dinners that are healthy for us.
OH CB, I'm so sorry! It is hard to stay on track when life seems to spin out of control.Yes, preparing meals IS a game changer! I AM sorry for your loss. Please don't give up! You are worth it!
My thin friend always says, "That looks so yummy. I'm not hungry right now. Would it be ok if I save some for later?" Most people respond very positively and are just as pleased as if I ate it immediately. Then I save it and that gives me time to think about if I want it or prefer something different. Often I give it or throw it away.
I just started I’m 53 ... I’m tired and I need this to work I’m close to the sane weight you were and it’s scary 😢 i need this to happen . Menopause has hurt me and dealing with my middle son having a meth addiction and the weight has piled on me and I’m emotionally done 😭 I’ve been on WW for 3 weeks I’m 9 lbs down. and I’m determined.. i cried with you i know the heart ache and the sorrow. Keep sharing please !!
Oh Janna, I'm so sorry about your son. That has got to be so hard to go through! I have no idea if prayer means anything to you, but I will be praying for you and your son. Yay - 9 pounds is amazing! Keep going - you need the strength of a healthy body to go through the heartaches. I completely understand the scary feeling - don't give up!
All I can say is wow! This is the first yime I have seen any of your videos. I am going to go through and watch more. You are amazing. It felt like you were describing my feelings exactly. I just turned 60 and want to lose 40 to 50 lbs. I have tried everything. Even WW. I am trying them again now. I cant wait for the follow up videos to this one. Thank you. Oh...my mantra is.. Nothing tastes as good as thin feels😁
Hi Bobbi! Found your channel by “ww over 50”.......I’m 53 and don’t have a lot of weight to lose.....less than 20 lbs. I do find it gets harder w age, so you will be my new “go to” for motivation! I’m looking forward to watching your videos!!!
What is "ww over 50"? I'm so happy to be able to motivate you. I am about to post a video for my "12 Habits in 12 months" series. At the end of it I give an update - be on the lookout! Thanks for watching!
Can’t believe I found your video today. I have been doing weight watchers too. It took me 12 weeks to lose 5 lbs, then one week to gain it all back. I didn’t even feel as if I had cheated that much, only three days. My temptations come at work too. People being so many goodies in! I am so discouraged. Thanks for your message and the list of 11 things. I will put these in practice and give it another go. God bless you too!
Just found you and I'm so happy, I am now going to sign up to WW, you have definately given me the encouragement I needed, so thank you, and I've subscribed
You are an inspiration and genuine....I just joined WW yesterday, 55 yo and 196 lbs. I will watch the rest of your videos for more inspiration. Thank you and God Bless you.
I'm so glad you are getting started. It's a great program. You may want to join my Facebook group - it's free and the women are so encouraging and helpful. It's called Mindful Health. Here a link: bit.ly/3eAvkmV
Thank you so much. I am 54 and at the biggest I have ever been in my life. I started doing WW with my oldest daughter. You are such an inspiration!!!!!!
I am right now at the stage when your eyes filled with tears, I cried because you know how I feel now! WeightWatchers has deserted us here in South Africa and we only have the old points system to go by, so don't know about the smart points of zero foods. Thank you for sharing your story. I am starting tomorrow!
Thank you for sharing with me hope, I'm almost 250, I recently started weight watchers, I'm doing it for me, for looks, for health, I'm concerned as I get older about possibly gaining more and getting mobility issues. So, Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
I just found you and am so grateful! You are so warm and friendly. It is like you are talking to your audience as friends. Know that we are cheering you on and sharing in your journey. You radiate encouragement and just genuine sincerity through the screen. Keep up the great work, and I look forward to watching more of your videos!
Thank you - Thank you - THANK YOU for this video. I am starting over AGAIN (for like the 7th time???) with needing to lose at least 60lbs. It is SO hard. You've given me hope ♥
Hi Bobbie, and thank you. I'm 63 years old, a heart patient and diabetic. I've recently lost 12 pounds on WW but put 2 back on recently. I LOVED your supportive informative video.You have given me so many ideas to work on. I do walk daily (for my heart) but I have trouble controlling my starches. Anyway, I am now subscribed to your channel and hope to prepare my food AND my mind for a healthier way of eating. I wish you all the luck on your WW travels and look forward to watching more of your videos. Thank you!!!
Thanks for sharing your process. Loved your honesty. I have friend that her mantra is, "Nothing taste as good as skinny feels." It really helps her. We work in a hospital and patients reward us lots of goodies. It's so hard to walk past that food for 12 hrs and say no🥴
You are such a sweetheart. I'm so glad I came across your channel. I have learned a lot from your videos. Thank you so much dear. Keep up the great work. You got this🙏
You have gave me new hope in my weight loss journey. I am at 229 and 45 years old. This has been so hard to start. It’s like I have no motivation but the way you seem to approach it makes it seem more doable. thank you so much for the encouragement. I hope I can rejoice with the same successful story. You have done an awesome job We Got This!!!!
I got a chill hearing you reveal your numbers. I know that it is so hard for us to share things like that. I've been with my partner for over 5 years. We're married with a baby and even he doesn't know what I weigh. I've only told two close friends. But now that I've lost 20 lbs I have less shame about it and I'm currently on my way to a healthy weight. You're right. These are just numbers and we are all in different bodies. We should be gentler on ourselves. Congratulations on your progress! You look great!
Thank you so much Bobbie. I woke at 4am this morning, so discouraged by my weight gain and wondering how on earth I was going to start. Thank you for sharing your ups and downs and being so honest. I am going to start my new day with a new hope I havent had for a very long time. I will follow you on instagram and watch your youtube videos for encouragement. Thanks again, Sarah from the UK xx
Oh my! Just what I needed. I am 70 years old in 2 months. I’ve been dreading this diet but my us 5’3” frame has blossomed from 120 lbs to 140. My clothes no longer fit and I feel uncomfortable for the first time in my life. You have inspired me today. Thank you and God bless you!
My clothes don’t fit either; it’s the pitts, isn’t it?!? I pray that WW works for both of us. I’ve lost about 6 and have about 10 more to go. May God bless you and anyone reading this!
Oh the coffee creamer would kill me. I now do the Premier Protein as my creamer. It's 2 pts for the whole container. That with 1/4 of cafe bustelo. It's been amazing. My go to fast food is Chick-fli-A grilled nuggets or the grilled sandwich and fruit.
I am in tears. I'm a new sub as of yesterday and watched a few of your vids. You are a DOLL❣ I love your positivity, sincerity and helpfulness. I can SO identify with you. In my 20's, I used to be the 120 lb natural blond...now at 62, 5'3 and 220 lbs, I am completely miserable. Blood pressure rising & everything hurts. Hip bursitis will not go away. Snoring now & losing sleep. Embarrassed to get on the scale at the Drs. Thank you, Dear Lady, for being so brave to open yourself up and for encouraging me to get motivated. I feel blessed to have fallen onto your channel.
Loosing weight in your 50s???? So inspirational!!! And your mantra system...i have them in my back pocket now...game changer! Btw you r beautifil inside and out!
I’m 48 and need to lose 50 pounds. I’ve already lost 18 pounds and still have a long way to go. I’d like to try WW and you’ve given me the inspiration to do it!
I absolutely love you!!! Your honesty and openness is going to help so many countless people. Bravo to you for the amazing job of losing 53 pounds...incredible! Your family must be so proud of you, I know I am♡
I am subscribing!! Thank you. I am back on W.W. And need encouragement! I have developed many serious Heath issues over the past 5 years and I need you!! You have described exactly how I have felt so many times and much of my life. Thank you for your honesty and courage in sharing! I LOVED this video!!
Thanks for being so open and sharing this with all of us! I can so relate to a lot of what you're struggling with. I'm in my early 40's now and I used to do the Momentum plan and I had loved it and then chronic illness hit and I stopped WW and of course regained my weight. I'm now looking into starting the new WW and going for the green plan. This is so helpful and I'm looking forward to your other videos!
You’re just what I need right now. Since menopause I find myself gaining weight that I can’t get rid of ! I tried weight watchers years ago and had success. I’m looking forward to future success my eating habits again.
Great video. I'm 56 and have lost over 60 pounds since August 2020. Intermittent fasting was a game changer for me. I have another 40 -50 I'd like to lose.
Bobbie, I only recently discovered you. I, too, have struggled all my life with weight. I count about 5 times in my life when I've lost 30 lbs, then gained it all back. During the pandemic lock down, I started "stress baking" and that, of course, leads to "stress / carb eating". So now I find myself back up to a point where my healthy goal weight is 30 lbs away (again, the 30 !!!) I've had some stop / starts in the past 2 weeks trying to get back to an eating pattern that will help me lose the weight. Finding this video of yours today has inspired me to get back on the horse and take the ride again! Thank you for your encouragement, honesty, and openness to share your story. I've added a mantra to your great list. "Will I be glad I ate this ___ when I get on the scale?" Good Luck on your next 30. Know that I"ll be doing it with you.
I just lost 30 pounds..again in lock down without craving carbs or food. It took me 3 months. I suggest you check out videos by Dr. Fung, Dr. Berg, and Dr. Robert Lustig. I am 67 and now in the best shape of my life. This way of eating has changed my health. I never thought I could live without organic milk chocolate bars. Now I never even think about them. You can loose weight fairly effortlessly when you let your body use fat instead of carbs for fuel/ I found that my body was really protein deficient and that I needed more iodine in my diet. Do you check your Vit. D levels every year with your doctor? Mine were seriously deficient at one point and it affected my blood pressure, thyroid, and cause joint and muscle issues. All went away when I took supplements of Vitamin D and K2. I wouls suggest just one appointment with a naturalpathic doctor if you can afford it. Getting your health on track is part of losing weight and keeping it off. Good luck!
Just found your channel and I am very glad I did. You are so lovely, real, inspiring and warm. I'm looking forward to watching many more of your videos xx
Thank you so very much for posting this video. I had gastric bypass 4 years ago when I was at my highest weight 254 lbs and got down to 180. I'm now 207 dealing with 30 lbs of regain and just started WW. I've been in the mindset that the older I get the harder it is for me to lose weight. Your video has invorgated me to think I can do this, regardless of my age. Thank you.
I have lost weight several times and always gain it back. This time on WW I am determined to keep it off. Your tips help me a lot to see where I have failed in the past. Thanks so much!
Wow you have inspired me to get my butt back on track, thank you xx Mantra number 1: nothing tastes as good as slim feels Mantra number 2 : a moment on the lips and a lifetime on the hips 💕
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ I started my journey on December 6th, under duress really. My doctor put me on a diet. In seven weeks, I’ve lost 24.5 lbs. So I understand you. Thank you for sharing!!
I really need to try WW again. I’ve gone so many times but the new program seems to be creating lots of success for people. Glad I found you you’re a joy
My sister and I watched this over the weekend and we started WW Sunday. I’m already down 2.4 lbs and I haven’t been hungry! I saved this video because I know I will be watching it multiple times!
Love you! You are beautiful!! Looking amazing!! As I am on my weight loss/health journey too you have given me inspiration and some great pointers!! Thanks for sharing your story!!😘
I am 200 lbs for the first time in my life at 66 yrs old. I can’t get my head to do what my heart wants. Help someone HELP. .I just found you today and you really Got me .i need you in my life right now. T.y. Sooooooo much.
Forget weight watchers and watch you tube videos by Robert Lustig, Dr. Jason Fung, Dr. Berg, and you can loose that weight fairly effortlessly and maintain it. You need to learn about good nutrition so you can make it a permanent lifestyle. Think health. I just lost 30 pounds in three months without thinking about food all day. I was 170 at 5'5"" and I am 67/ I still would like to loose 15 more pounds, but I am happy and not craving food all day. The doctors I mentioned all have online support groups if you want to join. Your new thought processes are now..I am free. I make choices that are in my highest good. I enjoy being healthy and in charge of creating my best self.
@@bluewaters3100 I’ve read Dr. Fung’s Obesity code. I fast now and then. But I still have issues with food. Can you tell me your daily menu. Just an example of what you eat in a day. I am very curious. I am over 60 and weigh 165. I am trying to get to 150 but I am my biggest enemy. Thank you.
I really needed this video. I'm almost 53 years old and I am at my heaviest weight ever. You are the first person who I have listened to that I can identify with. Thank you so much for your honesty!💕💕
Well done you! Another thing I always say to myself when negotiating/contemplating is "if not now when?" or "it all adds up (positively or negatively)" Kind of snaps me out of "it".
Got off track the last two days. Started watching ww videos for inspiration and I found YOU. What an inspiration. Some of my weight is in my face, so I look at it many times a day. This gives me inspiration to get back on track. Thank you.
I´m glad I found you! A real woman, same struggles, similar age. I haven´t started a program yet. You are beautiful and inspiring! Greetings from Argentina!
Wow, I think it must be divine intervention, because I really needed to see this video. I just subscribed. I’m a former college athlete, a high school cheerleader and never struggled with my weight...until I got married (later in life - my 40’s) and moved in with my husband and step sons. I completely lost myself and food was (and, is) what I turned to when stressed. I’ve had no “buddy” in my weight loss journey, but so far, I’ve lost 60 lbs since last March. I would like to lose (at least) 10 more. At first it was relatively easy, but these last 10-15 lbs have been a struggle. I’m 56, and 5’7”, we have the same goal weight. I can totally relate and commend you for being so transparent - and on RUclips of all places! You are fearless and I admire your strength and honesty. Thank you for sharing. 💟 xoxo
Wow! I stumbled across this video and am so glad. You. Are so sweet and genuine that I had to subscribe-I started WW almost 2 months ago and have only lost 7.2 lbs. A bit frustrating but not focusing on that cuz I know the mistakes I have made. I have lots to learn to help me and I am hopeful after watching this video I can buckle down and do much better in the next coming weeks. I am 57 so I know the age thing is tough. Have had knee replacement and back surgery so w/o isn’t the best option for me still - working up to that too. I want to lost 30 to 40 lbs. So, putting the pressure on ya to help me do this 😉 Going to watch your follow up videos Thanks and keep up the good work!
Thank you for your channel - I take you on my morning walks each and every time!! We are cut from the same cloth - Every single one of these 11 steps....I have gone through! I am 52. I started WW at 297 and got to 210 and got TOO COMFORTABLE and gained about 25 back. I am in the process of getting to goal of 174 (I'm 5'10"). A thousand thank you's for your awesome videos!! Please post more weight loss videos!! You are awesome! -Lisa from Michigan :)))
I'm just now finding you, and this is my first video of yours that I have seen. I am glad I started with this one. Great tips, great inspiration. You are just a joy to watch and so encouraging. Thank you for sharing your journey with everyone. I have so much to lose and I have to try so hard to get healthier. My journey is complicated with Complex PTSD, Severe Major Depressive Disorder, and Neuropathy in my feet since I was 17 years old. I am now 42, I have been successful losing weight in the past, it makes me sad to see how healthier I was and looked when I was 75 lbs lighter. I have challenged my children to do this with me. We start in January but I signed up for WW already and I am trying to find good recipes and find a good way of eating before we get into the full swing of it. My kids are suffering from my food coping and addiction choices. They are gaining weight as well and not comfortable in their own skin, as well as bullied and harassed at school. It's not going to be easy, your mantra's may help me through this as well. It is a daunting road ahead but I have hid behind food for far too long and the stress eating has gotten way out of control. I need to find a better outlet for stress. but thank you for sharing your success tips and I hope I can implement them for my own success and give my children a better example to follow.
I am that “tiny” girl you referred to. I am well under five foot and at one time weighed ninety pounds. Three children, divorce, death of both parents and one granddaughter later I am almost doubled in weight. I am almost seventy and had given up. Thank you for inspiring me to try once again. You are so honest and kind! May I add that you have a beautiful soothing voice.
The prize in this video is “MAKE IT A LIFE CHANGE” and Bobbi, you look GREAT! Such a wonderful smile and encouraging tone of voice. Thank you, Dianne.
Thank you so much Dianne!
I am the one!! And you have touched me.... I’ve been on WW’s 2 months now, down 19 lbs and my struggle is real. Thanks for the pep talk, I so needed that today!!
Bobbie, I just found you and you are amazing! I am 61 and 243 pounds - my heaviest ever and just started WW again - you are so inspiring! Thank you!
After losing 120 lbs, I feel like a new person (at age 74). My mantra was To thine own self be true. You are what you eat. These words aren’t original, but they keep me on track. I’ve been on maintenance for 2 1/2 years. Lots of struggles, but so very worth it! I deserve to be healthy (off 4 major meds,), look good and feel good! Knowing I can adjust foods for lower points enables me to eat tasty foods. I Stay away from fast food. Enjoyed your 11 reasons for success.
YOU. ARE. AMAZING! 120 - Wow! You have inspired me! Thanks for your encouragement!
But I miss my three-cheese macaroni and cheese by the bucket:-/.......I could eat two large pizzas in one sitting. Giving up all my great fast foods makes me feel as though life is not even worth living.
J Jsinger I am 71 and struggling. Glad to see there is some in my age bracket losing weight. Are you on WW?
Amanda Garcia I had a stark realization about my relationship with food when my ex-husband told me I loved food more than him! Took a divorce and many years of physical discomfort before I could face that!
Victoria Sugent Yes! I am a devotedWW member. I struggle to stay within my goal range. Right now, I’m trying to get 3 lbs off! My weight varies so much in a week’s time, it is disheartening and puzzling. Although all the literature says I should be able to maintain with 28 points, that’s usually not the outcome. For two years, I zoomed through maintenance eating 23 points but these last three months I have only seen goal weight twice. Just keeping the faith and looking forward to a new plan choice next month.
Omg u are the first one who fully seems to understand my pain. I’m 47 and at 277 lbs. and have gained over 40+ lbs within the last year. Going through remission from breast cancer and currently recovering from a hip replacement I have put on so much weight. U really seem to get me. Only thing I didn’t like about weight watchers was obsessing over points all day and counting, calculating, and looking up points everyday . It seemed to make me hungrier from the stress and frustration but I’m gonna try again. I wish I could hug u. God bless u and Thank u ❤️
Don’t give up Pennie. You obviously are a fighter to survivor cancer (awesome). WW is so much easier than it used to be. It has three plans to choose from and they help you choose. I am on purple. Cheering for you! 💕
Bobbie Koppe thank u
OMG you are the most inspiring, genuine down to earth person, I don't even know you and I want to be your friend. Thank you for you honesty and sharing your journey, I am 58 about to turn 59 and have never struggled so much in trying to lose weight. I will continue to watch your videos and know that I am cheering you on, good luck to the both of us!!
Thank you so much for your kind and encouraging words! Keep going - Don't give up!
Try KETO, I’m 57, started the diet mid-August 2019, it’s Oct. 3, and have lost 15 lbs. not exercising, AND NOT HUNGRY. I eat twice a day, NO SNACKING. So freaking easy, don’t have to count points, cut out flours, sugars, breads, sodas etc. NO JUNK. Types of calories matter- eat protein, fats( mainly Olive, Coconut, Avocado, butter), vegetables, very few fruits- mainly berries. Dense calories that satiate. PS. I am menopausal. Go watch Dr. Eric Berg for more info. Weight Watchers is sooooo laborious, that’s why so many people fail. PPS. If you can control your insulin, you will lose weight, because your body will start burning it’s own body fat stores. Carbs, sugars are store as fat, that is what the body burns first, then it starts burning fat. Plenty of videos on KETO will explain it better than I can. KETO recipes are also super easy because they are, usually, around 4-5 ingredients.
@@donnaoberlin3431 Thank goodness there is someone closer to my age whon has had success on Keto. I had lost about 10kgs/25lbs about 35 years ago and now being a lot larger and older I must embark again on a diet and now it is a whole lot harder. With your positive results and although there are so many foods I will miss I am also aware that Keto will/should/definitely will work for me. As Ms. Bobbie Kroppe says, frequently duing the video, everyone is different and our bodies are different and we have to find something that works for us, the individual. So with both you ladies and your positive results I shall go forth and lose the many kilograms that I am currently carrying about!
Just found ur channel loved it . I'm 52 as well ur my new best friend lol ur energy is so kind
Helen Dodsworth
58 here 🙋🏼♀️ & YES
What a struggle🤦🏼♀️
Thank you for your sweet honesty. I have lost the same 20 pounds on WW for 50 years. Now I'm 73 yrs old and will retire for the second time. So this is IT! I will keep going. Thanks again. God bless you.
Im 60 and i just started WW last Saturday. I lost 3 lbs. I quit smoking almost 2 years ago and i gained more weight. I am over weight to begin with. I cant live without my coffee mate hazelnut creamer. I switched to sugar free. I'm adjusting. The best thing is I'm not hungry and I'm not using all my points. I have more energy and i feel much better eating cleaner. You have a alot of good point's. I subscribed for more. Thanks!
I used to think I could not live with coffee mate hazelnut creamer too!! That was many years ago for me. Here is my tip..buy organic coffee medium grind. Then buy organic heavy cream. I only use 1 tsp. creamer so I do not spike my insulin. When losing weight I have found that the Keto plan with intermittent fasting is the easiest for me. I am 67 and just lost 30 pounds in 3 months without thinking about food all the time. If you think about your health and how you want to feel for the last 20-30 years of your life then changing your diet and lifestyle is a no brainer. There are great videos on you tube...Dr. Jason Fung, Dr. Berg to name a few that I watch. To get a good nutritional lesson watch Robert Lustig. You will probably need to learn about reading labels. I also take things with me in a little cooler bag when I go visit family even though my family eats well I still want my own things. Do not use half & half..use heavy cream, but not ever more than 2 tbs. You do not need artificial sweeteners if you let your taste buds get healed to enjoy coffee without sweetness. You can loose weight without severe cravings by not eating carbohydrates all day. Your body can use fat as fuel if you know how to eat. ( I do not have to rely on mental tricks anymore because this lifestyle works for my body...not weight watchers or pre packaged chemical laden diet foods. Good luck.
Debbie J. Yes to everything you said! That’s exactly what I’m doing due to being insulin resistant. Dr. Fungi is great!
So Happy to have found you! I so wanted to find someone in their 50’s and losing weight. I look forward to watching all your videos.
Hi Cindy! I'm glad you found me as well! I'm with you!!!! It's hard to watch a 20 or 30 year old tell me to lose weight - they just have no idea how much harder it is after 50. Keep going - You can do it!
My Sentiment exactly! As soon as I found Bobbie I was so happy to find someone closer to my age category to know how much harder it is to lose cuz our metabolism changes to older we get,,,love you Bobbie-I was so inspired from you that I related so much that it really hit home that I just started to cry with relief how crazy is that?! Thank You both and Good Luck n Congratulations for your loss! I never ever thought I’d ever say that in the same sentence lol Thank You for your Inspiration n encouragement I’ll keep watching your Chanel to definitely learn more about the revamped branding n I will be joining once again
Dr. Mcdougals starch diet ( and challenge) i lost 20 pounds in under a month. Maintained for 3 years, i do not follow his 'diet' based which is based on the diet of everyone thru history, worldwide- until capitalized farming/ groceries came in . His research made an Interesting read and made sense. If i were much younger i might follow it closer, but still love my meats and icecream and twinkies . Thank heavens i love potatoes corn and rice !
This is seriously the most inspirational WW video. Fifteen years ago, I did weight watchers, followed the plan, kept a food diary and the group weigh-ins. I felt hungry all the time and had a very slow weight loss. I discontinued because the group coach said something was wrong. It takes forever for me to drop five pounds and keep it off. I began recording my nutrients and discovered that I was eating huge amounts of salt each day. I ate too much prepared and restaurant foods. However, I never ate a lot of food, rather I ate small amounts of bad foods for weight loss. I believe most people overlook the amount of salt in foods and salt is just as important to limit as sugars. Most low-calorie foods and meals will replace the sugars with more salt. Once our bodies limit the salt intake, then food cravings can push a person to eat more food, especially salty foods.
Bless your heart for sharing. I know this is an older video but just found you. I’m great full for your encouragement.
I must say, I’m so glad you wake up every morning ! You are a blessing to us all.
I love you!!!! Thank you I’m 62 overweight and so inspired by you 🙏👏👏👏👏👏
You're just the sweetest :) I lost weight (about 40 lbs) last winter, and ended up putting 30 back on. So now I'm floundering trying to decide which program or whatever is best. I think you're right about not restricting a food group entirely. I'll give weight watchers another look, it's been quite a while since I tried them. Thanks for sharing your story!
You really spoke a lot of words that explain how I feel while I'm so overweight. I just started my WW journey 4 days ago and I've already lost 5 pounds. I know this is a LIFESTYLE for me. I really really like it. I plan ahead and track everything. My husband is doing this with me and it's just great. I'm proud of you for stepping out of your comfort zone and losing that weight!
Yay, 5 pounds this time of year is amazing! Well done!
I have been wanting to start some program. I am at my heaviest weight ever at 69.
Very frustrated, blaming my hormone imbalance. I will start to correct that, but your video gave me a strong handle to grasp for daily eating. The point system is so sustainable. Feeling confident now.. will look into Weight Watchers.! Thanks so much for your honesty and willingness to share! You look great!! 🤩😍
Awwww. You are Godsend. I found your channel last night and I am loving it all. But you brought me to tears with this video. I exactly at that stage were something is got to give. I have to do this because it is my health. I am 49 and dealing with certain things. I am pear shaped like you as well so I totally get you. And it is so hard to not eat something you crave. But your words have made perfect sense. Thank you for the amazing encouragement and vulnerability. You are such a beautiful woman inside and out. I am literally sharing your videos with my friends. I know this was filmed a few years back, but it’s so good. All my love, Lucy
I am so glad I found your channel! You are very honest! You encourage me to do better on my journey! I have been on weight watchers for about 2 years. I lost 40 pounds the 1st year! I moved and have gained back almost 10 pounds. My goal was to lose 50. I needed to hear your words tonight, as I have struggled with a sweet tooth for many years! I look forward to following you on RUclips and Instragram as well! You are a genuine soul!
I just signed up for WW. Used to be on it years and years ago. I am now coming off of a low carb lifestyle (Trim Healthy Mama). That program worked for a couple of years. Then the scale started climbing even though I was still eating on program. Every diet I have been on has been that way. It works until it doesn't work. Knew I had to change it up in order to get the scale back down. I am 54 and also now approaching menopause so that is also working against me. I am praying that this new WW will work for me. Found your channel and just subscribed since I feel I can get some incite into losing weight when you are over 50. Looking forward to watching more of your videos.
I’m so glad you are trying WW again. It’s very different than what you are used to. Cheering for you!
Wow...way to go...I'm gonna do it now...you are the best and most honest and encouraging person I've ever seen on RUclips! 👍❤
You made me cry!! I think I cried because I’m the one you were talking to. My doctor told me just this morning I have to lose weight. I think she’s tired of being nice about it and finally just said in no uncertain terms you must lose weight. I appreciate your 11 tips. I think they are All logical and helpful. Thank you so much. You came on my list at just the right time. God bless you. I’m very impressed with your progress. You look great!!
You can do it!!! I've been on a weightloss program for almost a year(Weight Watchers for me but not pushing a particular program) and its do-able. One day at a time. I'm safely away from diabetes and still working on high blood pressure.
10529Erin that’s wonderful. And you look great! Thanks!
Congratulations! Awesome! Well Done! I started my own wait loss journey about 6 months ago and have lost 30 pounds. Your tips were great. I feel I finally found the secret sauce after years of yo-yo dieting. It’s hard to explain the shift in my brain. I really related to your journey, I am 50 and also was 150 pounds in high school and thought I was fat. Thank you for being so brave with sharing, your weight loss journey, I look forward to other videos.
This is the FIRST 'how to lose weight' type video i've found that had made me break down and cry. THIS is me, I AM there...at the very beginning and it SUCKS and i am scared. I've also done the WW programs MANY MANY times, not all were successful but a few were and it is a great program. Thank you SO much for putting yourself out there, i am so glad i found you!!! I will be binge watching all of your videos right away!

It's free to join and it's a very positive group of women. We have over 1000 members who are sharing such amazing information and encouragement. Here's the link: bit.ly/3eAvkmV
Your lovely and positive personality will help anyone to lose weight, no matter what programme they're on. Thanks for all the info!
So proud of you. I am 59 yrs old. I am 18 years long WW Lifetimer. Once I reached my goal I alway thought I would never let myself get five pound over my goal. It is a doable goal. In 2019 I went back to WW and lost an additional 10 pounds on the new program( new to me). I feel great. But most all I love WW. IT IS A GREAT PROGRAM. Keep it going, you can and will do it. I am very happy for you.
Thank you for sharing your experiences with us! In 2018, I lost 60 pounds. Then, in 2019, I gained 20 back. I am currently on a journey to lose that 20 pounds AGAIN.
I love your optimistic attitude! I'm 65 and I totally relate. I've lost 70 lbs. but I need to lose 50 more. It's a slow process for me. People do judge, I've been laughed at and called names but now it's about me not others who don't understand. Thank you for sharing, you are a beautiful person in and out. I love your emotional, you are real! 💕💕💕
I was doing well on program (started it I. April). Then I had two devastating life events. I lost my job. Then a month later I lost my mom. To say I derailed was an understatement. I was a full on Amtrak 300mph train wreck with myself as the only casualty.
I managed during that time surprisingly to loose one pound between weigh in’s on July 12 through my next meeting and weigh in on October 1.
I counted that as a win! I’m still struggling but I’m not going to give up.
Thank you for this video! I needed your “mantras”. I will be using them. I am a nurse in a nursing home setting so families are ALWAYS feeding us as a way to show appreciation and it is HARD to resist.
I have 5 days off and I’m planning on getting meals prepped for success when I get back to work and I just got my free WW cookbook so I am going to teach my husband how to use it to cook dinners that are healthy for us.
OH CB, I'm so sorry! It is hard to stay on track when life seems to spin out of control.Yes, preparing meals IS a game changer! I AM sorry for your loss. Please don't give up! You are worth it!
My thin friend always says, "That looks so yummy. I'm not hungry right now. Would it be ok if I save some for later?" Most people respond very positively and are just as pleased as if I ate it immediately. Then I save it and that gives me time to think about if I want it or prefer something different. Often I give it or throw it away.
I just started I’m 53 ... I’m tired and I need this to work I’m close to the sane weight you were and it’s scary 😢 i need this to happen . Menopause has hurt me and dealing with my middle son having a meth addiction and the weight has piled on me and I’m emotionally done 😭 I’ve been on WW for 3 weeks I’m 9 lbs down. and I’m determined.. i cried with you i know the heart ache and the sorrow. Keep sharing please !!
Oh Janna, I'm so sorry about your son. That has got to be so hard to go through! I have no idea if prayer means anything to you, but I will be praying for you and your son. Yay - 9 pounds is amazing! Keep going - you need the strength of a healthy body to go through the heartaches. I completely understand the scary feeling - don't give up!
All I can say is wow! This is the first yime I have seen any of your videos. I am going to go through and watch more. You are amazing. It felt like you were describing my feelings exactly. I just turned 60 and want to lose 40 to 50 lbs. I have tried everything. Even WW. I am trying them again now. I cant wait for the follow up videos to this one. Thank you. Oh...my mantra is..
Nothing tastes as good as thin feels😁
Hi Bobbi! Found your channel by “ww over 50”.......I’m 53 and don’t have a lot of weight to lose.....less than 20 lbs. I do find it gets harder w age, so you will be my new “go to” for motivation! I’m looking forward to watching your videos!!!
What is "ww over 50"? I'm so happy to be able to motivate you. I am about to post a video for my "12 Habits in 12 months" series. At the end of it I give an update - be on the lookout! Thanks for watching!
I’m sorry... I put Weight watchers over 50 in the search and found your channel!
I thought that was what you meant, but I wanted to be sure there wasn't some kind of group/channel I should be watching - smile! Thanks!
As a night shift nurse we are SO guilty of snacking all night. I have found that brushing my teeth truly helps me stop snacking.
Hey good idea I am going to try this.
Can’t believe I found your video today. I have been doing weight watchers too. It took me 12 weeks to lose 5 lbs, then one week to gain it all back. I didn’t even feel as if I had cheated that much, only three days. My temptations come at work too. People being so many goodies in! I am so discouraged. Thanks for your message and the list of 11 things. I will put these in practice and give it another go. God bless you too!
Just found you and I'm so happy, I am now going to sign up to WW, you have definately given me the encouragement I needed, so thank you, and I've subscribed
You are an inspiration and genuine....I just joined WW yesterday, 55 yo and 196 lbs. I will watch the rest of your videos for more inspiration. Thank you and God Bless you.
I'm so glad you are getting started. It's a great program. You may want to join my Facebook group - it's free and the women are so encouraging and helpful. It's called Mindful Health. Here a link: bit.ly/3eAvkmV
Thank you so much. I am 54 and at the biggest I have ever been in my life. I started doing WW with my oldest daughter. You are such an inspiration!!!!!!
I am right now at the stage when your eyes filled with tears, I cried because you know how I feel now! WeightWatchers has deserted us here in South Africa and we only have the old points system to go by, so don't know about the smart points of zero foods. Thank you for sharing your story. I am starting tomorrow!
Thank you for sharing with me hope, I'm almost 250, I recently started weight watchers, I'm doing it for me, for looks, for health, I'm concerned as I get older about possibly gaining more and getting mobility issues. So, Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
YES! Do it before your body won't allow you to exercise!!!
I just found you and am so grateful! You are so warm and friendly. It is like you are talking to your audience as friends. Know that we are cheering you on and sharing in your journey. You radiate encouragement and just genuine sincerity through the screen. Keep up the great work, and I look forward to watching more of your videos!
Thank you so much Jill and welcome!
Thank you - Thank you - THANK YOU for this video. I am starting over AGAIN (for like the 7th time???) with needing to lose at least 60lbs. It is SO hard. You've given me hope ♥
My mantra is, “my good health is keeping me alive”. Great video and valuable information! Thank you for sharing!
Great Mantra Virginia!
New sub, your doing amazing! I’m 61 and look forward to your videos!
Hi Bobbie, and thank you. I'm 63 years old, a heart patient and diabetic. I've recently lost 12 pounds on WW but put 2 back on recently. I LOVED your supportive informative video.You have given me so many ideas to work on. I do walk daily (for my heart) but I have trouble controlling my starches. Anyway, I am now subscribed to your channel and hope to prepare my food AND my mind for a healthier way of eating. I wish you all the luck on your WW travels and look forward to watching more of your videos. Thank you!!!
U r so encouraging thank u- I'm late 50s & it's hard, u r very sweet person
Thanks for sharing your process. Loved your honesty. I have friend that her mantra is, "Nothing taste as good as skinny feels." It really helps her. We work in a hospital and patients reward us lots of goodies. It's so hard to walk past that food for 12 hrs and say no🥴
You are such a sweetheart. I'm so glad I came across your channel. I have learned a lot from your videos. Thank you so much dear. Keep up the great work. You got this🙏
Good for you ... Just started ww yesterday. I know it works...have done it before. Congratulations !
So glad you pop up in my feed. I’m so excited to binge watching..
You have gave me new hope in my weight loss journey. I am at 229 and 45 years old. This has been so hard to start. It’s like I have no motivation but the way you seem to approach it makes it seem more doable. thank you so much for the encouragement. I hope I can rejoice with the same successful story. You have done an awesome job We Got This!!!!
Needed this today. Appreciate your honesty! Thank you!
I'm glad it has helped you!
I got a chill hearing you reveal your numbers. I know that it is so hard for us to share things like that. I've been with my partner for over 5 years. We're married with a baby and even he doesn't know what I weigh. I've only told two close friends. But now that I've lost 20 lbs I have less shame about it and I'm currently on my way to a healthy weight. You're right. These are just numbers and we are all in different bodies. We should be gentler on ourselves. Congratulations on your progress! You look great!
We do need to be gentler on ourselves! Yay - 20 pounds is AMAZING! Way to go Robyn!
@@MindfulMidlife Thank you, Bobbie! Love and light to you ✨
Plenty of water, and not a morsel of food after 7:00 pm. You can do it. Lots of veggies, chicken. somefruit
Thank you so much Bobbie. I woke at 4am this morning, so discouraged by my weight gain and wondering how on earth I was going to start. Thank you for sharing your ups and downs and being so honest. I am going to start my new day with a new hope I havent had for a very long time. I will follow you on instagram and watch your youtube videos for encouragement. Thanks again, Sarah from the UK xx
Oh Sarah, I know that discouragement moment. Don’t give up-you are worth the fight! Cheering for you!
@@MindfulMidlife I joined WW 3 days ago, yet 😁
Yay YOU
Omg!! I am only 10 min in you have taught me sooo much!! Thank you I am starting right away...
Oh my! Just what I needed. I am 70 years old in 2 months. I’ve been dreading this diet but my us 5’3” frame has blossomed from 120 lbs to 140. My clothes no longer fit and I feel uncomfortable for the first time in my life. You have inspired me today. Thank you and God bless you!
My clothes don’t fit either; it’s the pitts, isn’t it?!? I pray that WW works for both of us. I’ve lost about 6 and have about 10 more to go. May God bless you and anyone reading this!
Oh the coffee creamer would kill me. I now do the Premier Protein as my creamer. It's 2 pts for the whole container. That with 1/4 of cafe bustelo. It's been amazing. My go to fast food is Chick-fli-A grilled nuggets or the grilled sandwich and fruit.
I am in tears.
I'm a new sub as of yesterday and watched a few of your vids. You are a DOLL❣ I love your positivity, sincerity and helpfulness. I can SO identify with you. In my 20's, I used to be the 120 lb natural blond...now at 62, 5'3 and 220 lbs, I am completely miserable. Blood pressure rising & everything hurts. Hip bursitis will not go away. Snoring now & losing sleep. Embarrassed to get on the scale at the Drs. Thank you, Dear Lady, for being so brave to open yourself up and for encouraging me to get motivated. I feel blessed to have fallen onto your channel.
Loosing weight in your 50s???? So inspirational!!! And your mantra system...i have them in my back pocket now...game changer! Btw you r beautifil inside and out!
Thank you so much Tracy! We all can use more inspiration!
I’m 48 and need to lose 50 pounds. I’ve already lost 18 pounds and still have a long way to go. I’d like to try WW and you’ve given me the inspiration to do it!
18 pounds-awesome.
I absolutely love you!!!
Your honesty and openness is going to help so many countless people. Bravo to you for the amazing job of losing 53 pounds...incredible! Your family must be so proud of you, I know I am♡
Awww Linda. Thank you! You have been one of those that has been so encouraging. Thank you! Thank you!
I am subscribing!! Thank you. I am back on W.W. And need encouragement! I have developed many serious Heath issues over the past 5 years and I need you!! You have described exactly how I have felt so many times and much of my life. Thank you for your honesty and courage in sharing! I LOVED this video!!
Hi Bobbie, please share breakfast and lunch ideas.. many thanks for the video! 👍🏼
Inspirational. I have done weight watchers multiple times. It is the only program I have ever lost weight on. I’m lost and inspired to try again
Thanks for being so open and sharing this with all of us! I can so relate to a lot of what you're struggling with. I'm in my early 40's now and I used to do the Momentum plan and I had loved it and then chronic illness hit and I stopped WW and of course regained my weight. I'm now looking into starting the new WW and going for the green plan. This is so helpful and I'm looking forward to your other videos!
You’re just what I need right now. Since menopause I find myself gaining weight that I can’t get rid of ! I tried weight watchers years ago and had success. I’m looking forward to future success my eating habits again.
Thank you for being so honest and open. Thank you. Love Lynne
Great video. I'm 56 and have lost over 60 pounds since August 2020. Intermittent fasting was a game changer for me. I have another 40 -50 I'd like to lose.
Omg, just watched your video. Love you. I'm just starting my WW journey. This gives me a push to get up and do it. Thank you so much. 🙏
Yay for getting started! I'm so glad I could help "push" you!
Thank you for being real. Thank you for being vulnerable. Thank you for being honest. Thanks for the inspiration. Many blessings to you.
You are so welcome!
You look great, good job in explaining the diet. Thank you...it is ok to get emotional, it makes you real.Keep up the good work.
Bobbie, I only recently discovered you. I, too, have struggled all my life with weight. I count about 5 times in my life when I've lost 30 lbs, then gained it all back. During the pandemic lock down, I started "stress baking" and that, of course, leads to "stress / carb eating". So now I find myself back up to a point where my healthy goal weight is 30 lbs away (again, the 30 !!!) I've had some stop / starts in the past 2 weeks trying to get back to an eating pattern that will help me lose the weight. Finding this video of yours today has inspired me to get back on the horse and take the ride again! Thank you for your encouragement, honesty, and openness to share your story. I've added a mantra to your great list. "Will I be glad I ate this ___ when I get on the scale?" Good Luck on your next 30. Know that I"ll be doing it with you.
I just lost 30 pounds..again in lock down without craving carbs or food. It took me 3 months. I suggest you check out videos by Dr. Fung, Dr. Berg, and Dr. Robert Lustig. I am 67 and now in the best shape of my life. This way of eating has changed my health. I never thought I could live without organic milk chocolate bars. Now I never even think about them. You can loose weight fairly effortlessly when you let your body use fat instead of carbs for fuel/ I found that my body was really protein deficient and that I needed more iodine in my diet. Do you check your Vit. D levels every year with your doctor? Mine were seriously deficient at one point and it affected my blood pressure, thyroid, and cause joint and muscle issues. All went away when I took supplements of Vitamin D and K2. I wouls suggest just one appointment with a naturalpathic doctor if you can afford it. Getting your health on track is part of losing weight and keeping it off. Good luck!
Just found your channel and I am very glad I did. You are so lovely, real, inspiring and warm.
I'm looking forward to watching many more of your videos xx
Thank you so much! My goal is to inspire - I know how much I need that! Cheering you on!
Thank you so very much for posting this video. I had gastric bypass 4 years ago when I was at my highest weight 254 lbs and got down to 180. I'm now 207 dealing with 30 lbs of regain and just started WW. I've been in the mindset that the older I get the harder it is for me to lose weight. Your video has invorgated me to think I can do this, regardless of my age. Thank you.
Just found you. Oh goodness, you're gorgeous! I've done ww in the past. I should prob give it a go again. At 43, it's much harder. You give me hope.
I'm 43 as well and just found her. Enjoyed this video🌹

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ I started my journey on December 6th, under duress really. My doctor put me on a diet. In seven weeks, I’ve lost 24.5 lbs. So I understand you. Thank you for sharing!!
That is awesome! 👏 Congratulations!
Are You doing WW?
Good for you! That’s very impressive!
I need your dr diet
I really need to try WW again. I’ve gone so many times but the new program seems to be creating lots of success for people. Glad I found you you’re a joy
Try Try Again!!!
I love these tips you gave us. I need to watch this about once a week to keep motivated. Thank you!!!
Ha, sometimes I re-watch myself to re-motivate myself!
My sister and I watched this over the weekend and we started WW Sunday. I’m already down 2.4 lbs and I haven’t been hungry! I saved this video because I know I will be watching it multiple times!
Congratulations! That is amazing! A strong start is always great, because it's so hard to get started!
Love you! You are beautiful!! Looking amazing!! As I am on my weight loss/health journey too you have given me inspiration and some great pointers!! Thanks for sharing your story!!😘
Awww, thank you friend! We can both inspire each other. You are doing awesome!
Love your personal story and your down to earth straight-forwardness. You are an inspiration. I’m doing WW and am down 15 pounds so far. I’m so happy
15 pounds - 15 pounds - 15 pounds - That's me giving you a cheer for your 15 pound loss! Way to go Candi!
I am 200 lbs for the first time in my life at 66 yrs old. I can’t get my head to do what my heart wants. Help someone HELP. .I just found you today and you really Got me .i need you in my life right now. T.y. Sooooooo much.
Audrey have you started Weight Watchers? I am 65 and would love to lose a few pounds that have found their way on my body.lol
Forget weight watchers and watch you tube videos by Robert Lustig, Dr. Jason Fung, Dr. Berg, and you can loose that weight fairly effortlessly and maintain it. You need to learn about good nutrition so you can make it a permanent lifestyle. Think health. I just lost 30 pounds in three months without thinking about food all day. I was 170 at 5'5"" and I am 67/ I still would like to loose 15 more pounds, but I am happy and not craving food all day. The doctors I mentioned all have online support groups if you want to join. Your new thought processes are now..I am free. I make choices that are in my highest good. I enjoy being healthy and in charge of creating my best self.
@@bluewaters3100 I’ve read Dr. Fung’s Obesity code. I fast now and then. But I still have issues with food. Can you tell me your daily menu. Just an example of what you eat in a day. I am very curious. I am over 60 and weigh 165. I am trying to get to 150 but I am my biggest enemy. Thank you.
I really needed this video. I'm almost 53 years old and I am at my heaviest weight ever. You are the first person who I have listened to that I can identify with. Thank you so much for your honesty!💕💕
You are welcome! I KNOW how hard it is. Don't beat yourself up, only look forward!
Well done you! Another thing I always say to myself when negotiating/contemplating is "if not now when?" or "it all adds up (positively or negatively)" Kind of snaps me out of "it".
Those are good mantras as well. Thank you!
Thank you Bobbie for being so transparent!
So happy for you!! I can TOTALLY relate. Thank you 🙏🏻 for all the wonderful info & INSPIRATION!! Keep it up!! 👏🏻👏🏻 & please keep inspiring me ☮️💟🙏🏻
There are so many who can relate! I am happy to encourage and inspire! Thanks for your kind words!
Got off track the last two days. Started watching ww videos for inspiration and I found YOU. What an inspiration. Some of my weight is in my face, so I look at it many times a day. This gives me inspiration to get back on track. Thank you.
These are amazing tips. Thank you!
I LOVE YOU!!! I am a first timer watching your channel. I can’t WAIT to watch more of you.
Your beautiful, authentic. And inspiring ❤️
I´m glad I found you! A real woman, same struggles, similar age. I haven´t started a program yet. You are beautiful and inspiring! Greetings from Argentina!
Hi Vicky from Argentina. I hope you are able to find a program that works well for you!
Congrats - 53 pounds is amazing! Keep up the great work!
Thank you so much Tami!
Wow, I think it must be divine intervention, because I really needed to see this video. I just subscribed. I’m a former college athlete, a high school cheerleader and never struggled with my weight...until I got married (later in life - my 40’s) and moved in with my husband and step sons. I completely lost myself and food was (and, is) what I turned to when stressed. I’ve had no “buddy” in my weight loss journey, but so far, I’ve lost 60 lbs since last March. I would like to lose (at least) 10 more. At first it was relatively easy, but these last 10-15 lbs have been a struggle. I’m 56, and 5’7”, we have the same goal weight. I can totally relate and commend you for being so transparent - and on RUclips of all places! You are fearless and I admire your strength and honesty. Thank you for sharing. 💟 xoxo
60 pounds is amazing Gretchen-well done. Don’t give up, those last 10 can come off-be patient and keep trying! 💕
Thank you so much for this video... I almost cried at the end. I'm at the beginning (again) of my journey. Thank you for the tips!
Wow! I stumbled across this video and am so glad. You. Are so sweet and genuine that I had to subscribe-I started WW almost 2 months ago and have only lost 7.2 lbs. A bit frustrating but not focusing on that cuz I know the mistakes I have made. I have lots to learn to help me and I am hopeful after watching this video I can buckle down and do much better in the next coming weeks. I am 57 so I know the age thing is tough. Have had knee replacement and back surgery so w/o isn’t the best option for me still - working up to that too. I want to lost 30 to 40 lbs.
So, putting the pressure on ya to help me do this 😉
Going to watch your follow up videos
Thanks and keep up the good work!
Thank you for your channel - I take you on my morning walks each and every time!! We are cut from the same cloth - Every single one of these 11 steps....I have gone through! I am 52. I started WW at 297 and got to 210 and got TOO COMFORTABLE and gained about 25 back. I am in the process of getting to goal of 174 (I'm 5'10"). A thousand thank you's for your awesome videos!! Please post more weight loss videos!! You are awesome! -Lisa from Michigan :)))
I'm just now finding you, and this is my first video of yours that I have seen. I am glad I started with this one. Great tips, great inspiration. You are just a joy to watch and so encouraging. Thank you for sharing your journey with everyone. I have so much to lose and I have to try so hard to get healthier. My journey is complicated with Complex PTSD, Severe Major Depressive Disorder, and Neuropathy in my feet since I was 17 years old. I am now 42, I have been successful losing weight in the past, it makes me sad to see how healthier I was and looked when I was 75 lbs lighter. I have challenged my children to do this with me. We start in January but I signed up for WW already and I am trying to find good recipes and find a good way of eating before we get into the full swing of it. My kids are suffering from my food coping and addiction choices. They are gaining weight as well and not comfortable in their own skin, as well as bullied and harassed at school. It's not going to be easy, your mantra's may help me through this as well. It is a daunting road ahead but I have hid behind food for far too long and the stress eating has gotten way out of control. I need to find a better outlet for stress. but thank you for sharing your success tips and I hope I can implement them for my own success and give my children a better example to follow.
