Can we take a minute and appreciate everything Amy shares with us on her health journey?! She's an inspiration and encouragement to myself.
I workout about 4 days a week!! The remaining 3 days I work retail, so I walk all day, doing stock!! By the way I am 78 yrs young and in great health!!!
I have been walking for 6 or 7 weeks and today I started to walk/ jog for an 1 hour
I have lost 10lbs so far, going to weight myself on Saturday again…
But I’m feeling so much healthier and better even though I still have a lot of weight to lose
Drink a lot of water
Amy, your health journey has not only been life changing to you, but just think about how it has benefited the lives of your children! I am sure you are more active with them along with implementing good and healthy food choices and just a very healthy way of life! So so wonderful!
Thank you for sharing!! ❤After your race when you get back to strength training I would love a video of you taking us through a full body strength workout!
I agree! I want to do something, but I don't know what, and I don't have money to buy some expensive program or something with a monthly fee.
For the first question about motivation. Practice Behavioural Activation. It is a technique that slowly builds up over time to get us 'used' to actually starting something. The starting is the hardest part, spending small amounts of time doing things. Then, we can increase the time and how often we do that one thing e.g exercise. It takes our brain time to catch up emotionally with changes in our behaviour.
Thanks, Amy for sharing your journey! Maintaining a consistent workout plan is the hardest part but I had it in my mind which would I rather do…30 mins walking or 30 mins in a doctor’s office due to not taking my health seriously.
Amy is a rock star and shows how sticking to it actually works and that there are no quick fixes! I will say, as women, weight training should be a priority for not just toning and strengthening our muscles but also for maintaining bone density. Having children, monthly cycles and hormonal changes affect our bones as does poor nutrition. When I started my health journey, I went all in on exercise, but did t change my nutrition that much and struggled losing the fat, then I heard this: you can’t out exercise poor nutrition. GAME CHANGER, so I backed off on the intense exercise and focused more on my nutrition- I back tracked what I ate and estimated my serving sizes (I was honest and humbled) and realized I was eating about 3-4000 calories a day and not much of it was nutritionally dense, so, down the rabbit hole of healthy nutrition and ignoring the “diet” guru’s and fads, I wanted to change my eating habits and foods that were sustainable for life and not just to lose weight. Again, game changer in losing weight FAT and gaining and maintaining muscle. Once I nailed the nutrition, I refocused on exercise and actually decreased the amount of cardio because lifting free weights put me in a cardio mode, so walking for 30-60 minutes a day is now my only cardio and weight training 3 days a week is all I do now. As Amy said, every one is different and has to figure out what works for them but remember, don’t overdo it to quickly achieve a weight loss goal because most times, it’s more muscle loss than fat loss and remember, as you build muscle your weight loss will slow down because you are replacing fat with muscle- it’s about the change in your body not so much the change in weight- do your close fit looser, can you now see muscle definition, sleep better, have more energy- those are the changes that show you are on the right track and are called non-scale victories (NSV’s) and my doctor encouraged me to focus more on the NSV’s than the scale. Amy, again, you are such a role model!
Thank you!!!😊
I use to always stop what I was doing and copycat other people journey and I wind up derailing my own results
I stopped doing that and just focusing on what works for my body and I am staying consistent and I’m loving my workouts and meal plans
Now I’m helping my husband get healthy and this week is his first week and he has been really suffering with muscle cramps and soreness but I encourage him that I will get better and not to give up.. and he is overcoming
i do that now! i constantly have to reroute my focus to my plan
Amy, please let us know how your marathon went and your personal times. Congratulations on your journey.🩷 ~ Linda
Hi Amy! Some great info here! As someone who is a trainer and owner of a fitness studio I have one thing to add. If someone knows nothing about how to put a weight training or any other form of a training program together I think it wise to invest in someone who can get you started. After working with thousands of people in 50 years I know for a fact that just “following” someone on RUclips is not necessarily a good thing. You may think you are doing the exercise correctly but if you have no knowledge of the movement and can’t see what you are doing and compare it to what you see on tv or even in a gym setting, it is very easy to do a movement incorrectly and get injured. I teach new people everyday and even many regulars who have been with me for years and they have to be reminded what muscles they are working, where they should or shouldn’t feel the exercise, etc. That perception is built over the course of exercising. You had that as an athlete even though it may have been years since you had utilized it. It’s important for athletes/dancers to understand their bodies. And once you have that knowledge, your body rarely forgets it. But beginners who really have no knowledge of even the fundamentals are not in that category. Feeling sore muscles is not always an indicator of a good workout….it can also mean 1) you did more than you should have or worked too much of one area and not enough of the opposition muscles, 2) you did some of the exercises incorrectly. Once you have built up a general knowledge of weight training and you know you are doing the movements correctly then yes, you will know who to watch on RUclips or tv because you know what you are doing and what you are looking for. Just like you have a coach to help you attain a level of fitness to run a marathon a beginner could also use an expert to get them started in the right direction. Your body is an investment. If you want it to last you your lifetime and feel good and be strong, you have to be willing to invest in it with your time and a bit of money in the right shoes, knowlege, etc.You will pay a lot more in running to doctors when you are ill or injured. If you are an older adult, you definitely know what I’m talking about.
So proud of you and your inspiring journey! I was a runner and gym goer for years. Completed half marathons as well. Then I opened my own store and worked so much my fitness got put on back burner. In January on my 59th bday I got a good used treadmill, joined the Peloton app and I’m working out, running and have lost weight and inches and feel so much better! You truly inspired me Amy. I followed you because I loved your decor style, now I continue to follow because of your fitness journey and waiting on this new home journey ❤
Thanks so much!!!
Caroline Girvan is my favorite too! And I subscribed/downloaded her app as soon as it became available. Love the Iron Series!
Just gave birth to baby 13. I am starting to try to work on pelvic floor work and walking. For moms who just had a newborn, using a baby wrap to walk allows you to get out the door, I do that from time to time. Starting on a routine is hard after having a baby. I'm hoping to ease into a routine within the next month. Recovery after baby takes longer with subsequent babies, so I've been a bit more cautious to start. Thanks for your tips, Amy.
Wow, congratulations❤️
❤ about to listen to this while i cuddle my son for nap. I am so impressed and imspired by you. If you can do, I can do it. 😊 I only have one kid but am a preschool teacher so i have my school kids too. I start summer vacation next week so going to really take that time to transform myself.
Thank you!!!
Thank you for sharing this. I have never been athletic and have no idea where to start. You have given me some great advice.
You’re so beautiful inside and out and always so sweet! Thank you for sharing with us, you’re inspiring. I also have 90 pounds to lose.
Thank you so much!
I have been inspired by watching your videos. I am a mom to seven kids, and have done hospice for both my parents. I homeschool my kids and they are active in basketball and music. So taking care of myself has been off the radar for a long time now. You have inspired me to take small steps toward a healthy lifestyle. I went ahead and ordered LMNT tonight and I am excited to make that another healthy option. I also really appreciate you sharing your faith. Good luck on your race! We are all looking forward to hearing how it goes!
Thank you!❤️
I just want to say thank you Amy, I have been at my goal weight for a year and a half, but was not really working out, until your video about putting yourself first, exercise and then do what you have to do at home and chores. This week I put myself first, everyday I got up an hour early, had a glass of water, and went for my 40 min walk, then came home every other day I also lifted my weights. I am enjoying this routine so much, and when I get home it’s all waiting for me, and that’s ok… a BIG thank you for your wise advice.
Thanks!😊
I am so excited for your upcoming marathon! Good luck and I hope you will let us know how you did and what you experienced!
Thanks so much for sharing!
I be love these videos so much! Thank you for sharing!!

Thank you for all the great info! I've been pushing myself to get back in shape this year well being a stay at home mom to an energetic 2yr. I've signed up to run my first 10 mile run this coming September and am both excited and nervous. I've ran 5k's for years but a 10 mile is going to be my new record. I am currently running 3 days a week and today I was able to run 3 miles in 30 minutes 😊 I'm planning to increase my distance soon, but any further tips would be appreciated.
I love all of your advice!!! These videos are so encouraging. Do you mean action precedes motivation?
Yes 🤣🤣🤣❤️
Amy you're so precious .you're like family a blessing to women .you started out with a u tube channel but it's truly a ministry . God bless you and your family , I just called my sister n law she's my best friend I asked her if she wanted to start back walking . Thank you for the encouragement ❤❤
Thanks!!!
Liked what you said being on your journey… it’s hard but I really don’t follow exercise so much there are a few I like but cant follow due to my medical journey but I say as long as I move my body and give thanks I’m doing something right…
You are amazing and share your knowledge in a beautiful non preaching way. You give me hope. I am very grateful. Thank you. Oh, not only are you a lovely person but your husband is too. I am new here as of yesterday but I am binge watching.
Thanks so much!!!
Hi - Motivation...I heard once determination first brings on motivation!! I've done Caroline's workouts & Sydney Cummings is another trainer I love!!
Thank you Amy for sharing your fitness journey. I’ve been following your channel for just under a year and find this inspirational as a return to fitness journey myself. I’ve been dipping in and out of consistent exercise for the last 5 years as a Mum and struggle to keep the consistency. Your channel definitely keeps me going !
Thank you🥰
Your Questions part 2 made a good Life change video
You’ve done an incredible job Amy! And what an example to your children and other moms! Have you considered doing another part to this video series addressing the emotional side of being over weight?
Thank you!!!🥰
Hi Amy, love your content, may the Lord bless you and family 🌷
Thank you! You too❤️
Very good information. So happy for you on your journey. Who did you mention for the dumbbell videos, mark Caroline, who? ❤❤. Can’t wait for your next video.
Caroline Girvan is a great you tuber for weight training. I recommend the Epic series.
Caroline Girvan😊
You’re welcome
you have such a pretty smile.
Good job ,very inspiring story .
I've been there girl .
The biggest I've been is about 260 and its just awful.
Thanks!
I walk 6 days a week and take 1 day off. I do deep water aerobics for 45 mins once a week
Amy, this was so encouraging!!! I hope you'll show some of your marathon on YT. I ❤️ workouts on YT ( love Grow with Jo channel). Being consistent and taking this time for me, I've lost weight..🥰 I love workouts now and feel so strong. Yay! You're an inspiration! Thanks for sharing tips. Love your channel and will check out Caroline's. Have a great weekend!
Thanks!😊
I love your videos for the health and weight loss information as well as homemaking and decorating! (And meal ideas)
So much good stuff! Do you mind sharing which setting you used on My Fitness Pal when you first started your weight loss journey- such as 1 pound per week or 2 pounds per week. Thank you!! ☺️
Thanks! I set my goal weight and MFP set up for me my calorie and weight loss goals😊
@@AmyFritzthank you!! 😊
As a former marathon runner. You did an excellent job at explaining your journey. Thank you for sharing. You apparently very encouraging to beginners. Which marathon are you doing. Good luck
Thank you so much!❤️
Gread advise as always!
Thanks😊
I wish I could get to the point of just having to muster up the strength just to get out the door and go to the workout but every time I move my body, I hurt myself my back my hip my everything I’m guessing I am at least 10 years older than you so I don’t know if it’s that I’ve also been sedentary for a lot longer than five years so yeah but I was able to walk and run just a few years ago just fine but now no way I can’t even walk 2 miles I did yoga stretching today and my back is killing me now lol enjoy exercising while you’re young and keep it going because when you’re 45 if you don’t have it, it’s really hard to get back . So inspired by the work you are doing just wish I was able to do more.
Consider a personal trainer.
Found out its piriformis syndrome
Just thought id update u all, it’s common . Sucks but learning how to deal so i can walk more
Great advice and spot on!
I'll be 60 in two weeks and started my fitness journey when I was young like you. Thankfully not on any pharmaceuticals either.
My favorite strength training youtubers are Caroline Girvan, Penny Barnshaw and Fitness_by KayKay.
Even at my age I still have muscle and for those that don't know strength training slows aging.😉 As we age we need strength training even more. You are spot on invest in some heavier weights. Walking and weightlifing!
Do you still live in Ohio? I'm originally from southeastern Ohio but live in Florida.....40 years now.
Thank you! I do still live in Ohio😊
It’s so refreshing to see someone loose weight naturally without meds. It is so frustrating listening to so many loose weight and then hear they used meds . I feel defeated and start to think what’s the use.
I will try all your ideas. I want to loose 40 lbs doing what you did. Will try the 3/12/30 . Thank you so much . Love your channel.
Thanks🥰
Do you portion control your meals? Do you always eat three meals a day, plus snacks?
MyFitnessPal helps with portion sizing😊
I used to run a lot then stopped and just started walking. I jogged a few times and I’m so wiped out when I run, do you feel that way?
I love your videos. So inspiring.
Your teeth are so beautiful and white. What do you use to make them so white?
Thanks! I’ll link my favorite whitening strips in the video description for you😊
Ohio girlie too. You look great.
Thank you!❤️
LMNT has then in a can and they are so delicious
The can LMNT has taken it to the next level 🎉🎉🎉
Yes I agree. They are so good. The black Cherry is delicious.

@@AmyFritz thank you Amy ♥️
I bought Hoka running shoe and after my walk/ jog my feet were hurting.
Is this normal?
Depends on the hurt. Definitely seek out some professional advice if you’re having serious pain! ❤️
You know I had the same exact experience with my Hoka's.
I was using the hoka too but had pain switched to the brooks glycerin , best freaking shoe ever worn!
@@nancydee6106 I wear the same shoe! It’s great!
@@AmyFritz Nothing serious, just soreness
❤🎉
How do you keep your teeth so white!!
I’ll link my favorite whitening strips in the video description for you😊
Por qué no vuelves a jugar al tenis? Es mucho mejor que correr. Correr no es buena idea para tus articulaciones. Y el tenis es mucho más completo y divertido.
Hello Amy, I congratulate you on your achievements, I thought you had had some surgery because from one moment to the next I saw you looking slim , you didn't show the progress day by day.
Thanks!
👋👍👍🥰
Hi Amy, just trying to figure out why did you remove my comment.. Was it because I mentioned someone else’s channel? I thought it might help somebody else as I genuinely think that channel is helpful but never mind, I will unsubscribe just the way I subscribed. I wish you good luck with everything!
I didn’t remove your comment?? Not sure what happened but sad to see you go! whose channel is helpful? Would love to support someone! ❤️
I love Caroline girvan!!!!!!!!!!! 🤪 currently doing Epic heat🙌🩷
That one is intense!!! 😂❤️❤️
I love her workouts too! She is amazing, and her workouts have transformed me physically and mentally over the past few years.
@@AmyFritz yes it is!🤪🤪
