Really enjoyable video. From the title I thought it would be denigrating but wasn't; simply a story well told. Cheers Life isn't easy.... For any of us. Wishing Susan much satisfaction and success. She's working for it ❤
Ok, but she’s not retired. She doesn’t have a fat teacher’s pension. She’s broke. As a teacher, you should know the importance of context. Stress and anxiety are very different motivators than boredom.
I was saving for 2 years, 60%-90% of the income, to start my bis, while working at sea, lost it all and went into debt. As much in debt now as i had of savings & here's a kicker : had no money when i was saving nor do have i now (laughs), same feeling ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ P.s well done on $4k.
It is. Low fat diets work . That was the thinnest I ever was when I went low fat. I was ultra ultra thin at that time. I would limit my fat grams to about 20 a day
My husband delivers meals. He gets fit, meets people, gets off his ass. He had a lot of shame at first but the bills needed to be paid, so you swallow your pride. He now is adjusted to reality and has gotten several other side gigs so you do what you have to do. Over 60s do not get jobs, ever. Food delivery has saved many from poverty. He was accosted by a snobby couple who said, “we pity you for having to do this type of work.” He just turned to them and said, “Why? I get fit, I meet people, and I am self-sufficient.” You earn and learn.
I see nothing wrong with getting a job that helps sustain you! Thank you to all husbands who step up and do things to support their families! Good for him. Peace of Christ!
Of course there isn't. I think everyone is just very surprised due to the fact she made many millions. One wonders what the heck happened. I assumed she was just retired
The difference between her (as the "original" influencer) and influencers now is that she genuinely put in the work, not to mention actually INFLUENCED others.
BS! I hardly have anything nice to say about influencers today, but you can’t knock the work ethic. Those people are insanely fit. It takes a lot of work and commitment to do that.
@@R_W_Goodson I cannot understand the logic of some advisor stealing someone's money. That has to be the most dangerous thing you can do. Taking someone's money and leaving them with nothing. Including to lose. I'm surprised Berni Madoff (for example) ever lived long enough to die in prison. If I am 90 years old and have to go back to work because of him, I might want to have a very short talk with him. Once in which I never say a thing to him.
Bravo man! Keep up the good work. Her advice "to walk, cut down on sugar and processed foods" is of course the best one out there. It is the most certain way to lose weight.
The biggest hurdle to overcome is yourself. In the end it comes down to how bad you want it, and yeah a lot of times you have to force yourself. Keep up the good work!
I’m 45, and I loathe celebrity culture and this ridiculous “influencer” trend. But I have loved Susan Powter since she came out. My mother bought her her program in the early 90’s off of QVC - she never used it, but teenage me loved her workout videos. I’d love to see more of Susan - she’s genuine, and that’s the difference between her and the fakes of today.
I am a grown ass man and don’t cry….as tears run down my face. I am floored by her humility and reverence. I will definitely watch her new documentary and support in any way I can. Thank you sister for modeling - not just fitness, success, and beauty - but more importantly modeling great character. respect. ❤
Ooooo no. She *always* seemed gimmicky. The hair alone - just to tell people to walk and not eat garbage. 🙄 And she was always screaming at me. Thoroughly unpleasant. Just go for a walk and put down the soda, folks. Saved you $80.
I Door Dashed when the lockdowns happened despite having a six figure income because the company I worked for started furloughing us and I had just spent a crap load of money converting my garage into a gym. When the furlough ended, I still Dashed for a little while longer simply because I thought it was a fun job and it was something to do when I had nothing else going on (might as well make some money, right?).
You should check your financial account balances DAILY! You need to know where you stand plus make sure there is nothing fraudulent happening your portfolio. Can’t emphasize this enough!!
LOVED her book “Stop the Insanity”. To this day I remember some of the things she espoused. The main thing she said was when losing weight never compare yourself to anyone else. Run your own race. It is a great book.
I'm 64 and remember her well... She was a phenom in the 90s....I'm glad she's on the road to recovery and launch of her newest concept....she's an inspiration!
I often wondered what happened to her. Before getting a manager and investors, she should have hired a decent entertainment lawyer (I’m sure 2 or 3 actually exist). Then she should have hired an accountant to keep an eye on the lawyer. Life is always 20/20 hindsight. I wish her well.
ALWAYS pay strict attention to the THREE PILLARS OF HEALTH; 1) Physical health, 2) Mental health and 3) Fiscal health You need all three to live a good life!
I was a teen in the 90s and although I was nowhere near into fitness culture, I definitely remember this chick. Her face is extremely "90s" if that makes sense. She was somewhat of an icon even if it wasn't for me who was all into video game and rock music at the time. Interesting what happens to these people.
She has real guts. Everyone's life goes through cycles, ups and downs. Susan Powter is reinventing herself and moving forward. That is all any of us can do.
There's 2 videos Susan made in the 2000's I think when she had dreadlocks and was always cooking soup which I would love to watch again. The first is called - "Eat a Pear". Its so fun to hear her talk about eating an organic pear! The second video is when she is eating a salad in the bathroom while doing laundry in the tub. That time period when she was sharing about eating healthy food was really raw and genuine. All I could think is how much her truth was pissing off the corporations. She has some serious courage.
Oh my goodness. Just yesterday, I was thinking about how she changed my life. I learned how to read the nutrition label on food in the grocery store from her. I also learned the difference between satiation foods, like a potato, and low association foods with the same calories- in other words if you eat potato, even though it’s the same calories as the candy bar, you’re gonna stay longer with the potato. I think she changed the food world in America for many of us. I do wish she had benefited from that, but I do know she has given so much.
I'm a Gen-X and grew up watching and admiring her. ❤😢 I hope she finds a new audience helping people grow older. Thank you Jamie Lee Curtis for bringing her back into the public light. ❤👍
I made $2,200 delivering Uber Eats in about 42hrs one week in Arizona. Yes, you heard that right: ONE WEEK. If you know what you're doing, you can do well with delivery. Be smart and pick your deliveries in areas where you get decent tips from people who appreciate you using your car to cruise for 8 to 10hrs/day all over the city thru crazy traffic. For that, you can get paid well. Stay out of areas known to not appreciate drivers (no tips). They can go get their own food. They have that right.
Bless Susan Powter! She is dynamic and deserves her platform on her terms. Go Susan! Thank you Jamie Lee Curtis for reaching back to tell this powerful story!
@@joegonzalez1941 family members claimed she was never actually fat. There’s only one photo that purports to be her when she was fat and it’s a grainy b&w photo and her head is turned away from the camera. She is also very likely bipolar and or some substance use mixed in. Current news articles about her state she had “alleged lawsuits.” Nothing is real with this woman.
I ain't going to hate on someone for making sure her bills are paid. Things happen we all have made a bad decision or two. Props to her for keeping things going.
Happy Birthday, Susan! Your birthday is coming up on the 22nd. I want to thank you for your books, fitness videos programs, and all the other things you've done. I love them all! Stay strong!
I don't understand how women (men too but it seems mostly women do this) just let someone handle their money. Never check balances in your accounts. You don't know what you have, what's coming in, what's spent? I work too hard not to know everything going on financially in my life. No way.
@esterdrass4964 This is why you don't allow your boyfriend to manage your business blindly, lol. Powter also failed to educate herself adequately, so she was basically incapable of running a business, much less an EMPIRE that was raking in about $50 million annually.
@@shirleypena4133 Right. The bigger you are, the more hands in the kitty and you better be keeping an eye on everything. Too many people want to sit back and let others handle it all and then wonder wtf happened. You really only can trust yourself.
That’s exactly right. Even if you have a financial advisor investing your money you still need to check your portfolio balances and especially your transactions every single day, including weekends!
In 1993, I read her book and lost a ton of weight by avoiding fat (which led to the sugar-in-everything-fat-free movement). Not a long-term plan, but it worked and she was so funny! I still have her book. I hope that the documentary truly helps her and I look forward to seeing it.
LOL I lost no weight on her plan because I did cut out all the fat and I replaced it with cinnamon raisin bagels with no topping. She DID bring up eating bagels plain when she was hungry in the book. Maybe I took it too literally but history has shown you can't lose weight just by cutting fat out of your diet when you can eat so many calories in the form of carbs
She was actually a great success story and should be given praise. That she was ripped off for her earnings and is now working an honest "regular" job to get by is nothing to scoff at. She's a survivor.
I know her from SpaceGhost. They did a marathon anniversary livestream on YT earlier this year and she was the 1st guest on the 1st episode. She looked like someone had squashed the year 1992 into a person. I just barely sort of remembered her from the actual 90's.
Something tells me her poor decision making is what lead to her downfall. I don’t mean to be harsh but noticed she never remarried and didn’t explain how exactly she lost her business than didn’t check her finances. To me there something else going on mentally because her own children wouldn’t take her in and she was living in an RV. Idk 🤷♂️ im just saying it’s not all random
It's possible she actually had no interest in remarrying or living with her children. There's strings attached with all of those decisions and she appears to be an independent type person who does thing's their own way. If she's palling around with A-listers like Jaime Lee Curtis I'm guessing she can't be doing THAT badly.
@@ukmedicfrcsshe could be delivering anything. It’s fashionable to trash the U.S. for absolutely anything. People like the poster think they are clever.
I hope this world offers her one more oyster with a pearl. She is such a beautiful and gentle spirit that can really make a difference in the lives of people.
I was a teenager when her infomercial, was on TV, 24/ 7, she was also on Oprah, and magazines, it was insane! Had she only watched her own finances, and watched what was coming in and going out, she'd be rich, now! I don't understand, such negligence. 😢
I remember randomly watching Susan Powder late one night. The absolute crap she would say and sell made no sense. I'm shocked she lasted as long as she did.
So sad that it led to this kind of her life. But it seems she's climbing out of it. Good for her and I wish her all the luck and positive thoughts in the world.
It’s the same story of people letting others manage their money and having it squandered. If I ever get a large sum of money, I will definitely keep an eye on it!
I wish her all the best. I don’t know if an RV-book tour will give her what she’s looking for. This digital-social media age is way different than the 90s. She just needs a social media strategy so she can start cashing in now. If these mindless “influencers” can do it, she sure as hell can. She’s got more charisma than most of them combined.
The sad thing is this is an example of someone not being financially ignorant. Every high school should have classes teaching how to manage money and NOT live beyond your means. Imagine if everyone had basic bookkeeping skills. I wish her well.
@@thezu9250 she said she's done 4800 trips. Do you really think they were all from healthy restaurants? Do you think she specifies that "I'll only deliver healthy food!" lol
What? People use delivery for many reasons. Some people don't have a vehicle, some are disabled and it's hard to get around. Some are busy parents that don't have time to cook. The list goes on
@@ukmedicfrcsYou've missed the joke. Your handle tells me, that as a non American, you're unaware of both the "meat and potatoes" of Powter's program and Alanis's song "Ironic."

Never shame someone for making an honest living. Kudos on her weight loss and perseverance.

Where was the shameful part in the video?
💯💯💯🙏🙏🙏🙏
I am a retired teacher and have made over 4,000 Uber Eats deliveries. No shame in it. Not a bad gig!
I’m the same. Uber Eats is a great retirement gig.
Ok, but she’s not retired. She doesn’t have a fat teacher’s pension. She’s broke.
As a teacher, you should know the importance of context.
Stress and anxiety are very different motivators than boredom.
@@whatifschrodingersboxwasacofin Teachers get a fat pension? News to me. They get sh*t for pay
@ I am well aware of the context. We are simply stating that as retired teachers it’s a good part time job.
I was saving for 2 years, 60%-90% of the income, to start my bis, while working at sea, lost it all and went into debt.
As much in debt now as i had of savings & here's a kicker :
had no money when i was saving nor do have i now (laughs), same feeling ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
P.s well done on $4k.
I give her a lot of credit, working and doing what it is necessary just to make her bills. It’s an honest living .
By getting back to work, good karma will come her way. The people who suffer complain and stop moving forward..
That's what every average adult does
Hunter Biden might call it "degrading." Joe would probably pardon him for saying that too.
Did you miss the part where she was on government handouts?
I totally agree. There’s nothing wrong with an honest job
She needs to get on RUclips. Her approach was sensible.
yes- I miss her truth
It is. Low fat diets work . That was the thinnest I ever was when I went low fat. I was ultra ultra thin at that time. I would limit my fat grams to about 20 a day
She is on Substack.
RUclips would ban her first video for 'fat shaming'. We live in opposite world, now.
I wish she would. I would subscribe to her channel in a skinny minute.

Maybe I took it too literally but history has shown you can't lose weight just by cutting fat out of your diet when you can eat so many calories in the form of carbs
@@lee3171 I got really skinny cutting out all the fat
@@lee3171 I got lean cutting out the fat
@@lee3171 You look chunky you should cut out the fats
She was actually a great success story and should be given praise. That she was ripped off for her earnings and is now working an honest "regular" job to get by is nothing to scoff at. She's a survivor.
I feel bad for her. I still reference her when I talk about simple things like walking everyday and cutting out sugar. So simple!
She didn’t cut out sugar she promoted a low fat diet
She seems motivated. Hope she takes care of her mental health. It is everything.
I feel bad saying this but I totally forgot about her until this video. Thanks, Rhetty, keep up the interesting videos!
Rhetty that’s my puppy’s name ❤
Forgot all about her. Glad she’s doing better. We all hit a low point at some point in our lives. Be well Susan.
I wish the best for Susan!
Wow, I haven't thought about this lady in probably 30 years
ROOTING FOR SUSAN! You can do it, you have old fans that are still 100% behind you! ❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
I know her from SpaceGhost. They did a marathon anniversary livestream on YT earlier this year and she was the 1st guest on the 1st episode. She looked like someone had squashed the year 1992 into a person. I just barely sort of remembered her from the actual 90's.
Something tells me her poor decision making is what lead to her downfall. I don’t mean to be harsh but noticed she never remarried and didn’t explain how exactly she lost her business than didn’t check her finances. To me there something else going on mentally because her own children wouldn’t take her in and she was living in an RV. Idk 🤷♂️ im just saying it’s not all random
Exactly!
She wrote a book that explains how everything fell apart and she takes accountability for what happened
@fredrm6023 You are quite right! 👍👍
It's possible she actually had no interest in remarrying or living with her children. There's strings attached with all of those decisions and she appears to be an independent type person who does thing's their own way. If she's palling around with A-listers like Jaime Lee Curtis I'm guessing she can't be doing THAT badly.
Drugs too.
Delivering junk food to the same bremeloes she tried to get into shape. Only in America.
lol 😂
Maybe it is healthy food?????????🤔
I do u-eats alot of hipsters order their wheatgrass shakes and acai bowls😂on delivery
Why does that mean she's delivering " junk food "?
@@ukmedicfrcsshe could be delivering anything. It’s fashionable to trash the U.S. for absolutely anything. People like the poster think they are clever.
I love hearing she has not given up and even in her new job, she takes pride in doing a good job. She is a force.❤
I hope this world offers her one more oyster with a pearl. She is such a beautiful and gentle spirit that can really make a difference in the lives of people.
Once again, evidence that the algorithm is reading my mind. I was just thinking about her a few days ago and then this pops up.
😅 wow, same here, but for me, more like a few months ago ... I think they are reading our minds!
Respect ! Love you Susan. She's the REAL deal. Always kept it Real. No shame in her game ! # ICON !
She is working to make her way back, and there is nothing wrong with the gig economy. I wish her all the best.
What an amazing woman. I think she could make it on today's social media. Maybe even talk about what she's learn financially, from being cheated.
She's doing what she has to do and I applaud her.
She is one of the OG influencers!!!!
I was a teenager when her infomercial, was on TV, 24/ 7, she was also on Oprah, and magazines, it was insane! Had she only watched her own finances, and watched what was coming in and going out, she'd be rich, now! I don't understand, such negligence. 😢
I remember randomly watching Susan Powder late one night. The absolute crap she would say and sell made no sense. I'm shocked she lasted as long as she did.
I sorta met her in Provincetown MA. I crossed paths with her in a parking lot and and complemented the shirt I was wearing
You complimented your own shirt?
Sure...
Good for her, I repect a hard working person. She still keeps going.
So sad that it led to this kind of her life. But it seems she's climbing out of it. Good for her and I wish her all the luck and positive thoughts in the world.
It’s the same story of people letting others manage their money and having it squandered. If I ever get a large sum of money, I will definitely keep an eye on it!
don't worry, you'll always be BROKE
she needs to get on social media...i think she'll get paid
Omg I remember her. Forgot all about her but, wow.
I really respect her. Good on her for working hard and honestly.
I wish her all the best. I don’t know if an RV-book tour will give her what she’s looking for. This digital-social media age is way different than the 90s. She just needs a social media strategy so she can start cashing in now. If these mindless “influencers” can do it, she sure as hell can. She’s got more charisma than most of them combined.
As long as it isn't a scammy MLM. I wish her the very best. No shame im delivering food. Its square biz.
honest hard working people.
Good for her 👏 she Def deserves 👏
No, she doesn't
As Dave Ramsey says 60% of the things you buy you do not need!
I am so glad to see her make a comeback💪🏿
I'm not
Respect. She is not trying to take the easy way out.
Yes she is
What's the easy way? This is her only way.
EVERY story were a celeb or athlete goes broke ALWAYS starts with "I DIDN'T MANAGE MY OWN MONEY."💸💸💸
And yet with all the insanity she stopped yelling stop the insanity. It would really resonate in 2024.😂
The sad thing is this is an example of someone not being financially ignorant. Every high school should have classes teaching how to manage money and NOT live beyond your means. Imagine if everyone had basic bookkeeping skills. I wish her well.
She ended up making a living by delivering processed food to people. 😢 Life is full of irony.
Wild, isn't it!
I mean, you could still order from healthy restaurants.
@@thezu9250 she said she's done 4800 trips. Do you really think they were all from healthy restaurants? Do you think she specifies that "I'll only deliver healthy food!" lol
I remember Susan Powder. She was one of the best Fitness influencers.
Powder? lol
So now she is delivering food to people that don't want to get off of their sofa.🤔 Alanis Morrissette would call that "Ironic". 😉
What? People use delivery for many reasons. Some people don't have a vehicle, some are disabled and it's hard to get around. Some are busy parents that don't have time to cook. The list goes on
@@ukmedicfrcsAnd some people don't want to lose their parking spot.
Dude that joke failed.
@@ukmedicfrcs❤
@@ukmedicfrcsYou've missed the joke. Your handle tells me, that as a non American, you're unaware of both the "meat and potatoes" of Powter's program and Alanis's song "Ironic."
She has such a positive outlook and her humility is incredible, totally off the charts. I wish I had more friends like her.
