I’ve been tracking macros and calories since April 2021 and I lost 15 pounds slow and steady. It does work. It’s completely eye-opening. Now I just have to maintain. Which is totally an accomplishment in itself!
Love this video! I’m thinking of purchasing a walking Pad. I’m in the beginning stages of research and reviews. Your voice is calming as well might I add…Much needed. Appreciate the tips and I’m glad to say I’ve been following most them and have gotten results. Especially the intermittent fasting. I’ve been doing that for a year now, so to hear you confirm this is Great 👍🏽
I'm a 55, almost 56 year old intermittent faster. The book Fast Feast Repeat by Gin Stephens is a life changing book. I lost almost 30 lbs and am approaching my 2 year anniversary with no problem maintaining my weight loss. I came to intermittent fasting for weight loss but have stuck around for the health benefits. I don't track calories and when I eat, it is what I want to eat(which has changed over time). Give it a try... esp if you are post menopausal.
Loved the tie! I am a strict workout person, dedicated to Peleton and intermittent fasting. Everyone needs to find their niche so they make it a lifestyle. ❤
Love all these tips! Your recommendations are very similar to the digital fitness and nutrition program I coach for. We use intermittent fasting, whole food nutrition, macro tracking, carb cycling and get provided with 30 minute workouts (2 HIIT, 3 strength training, and 2 active recovery). It is the best!!
A while back I was set on getting a peloton but I just don’t think I want that intensity anymore. The walking pad is awesome! Plus, bonus, it comes in white.
We have one and I don't use it for that reason 😭 And the monthly membership is so expensive. I still pay for it because Tim likes to use it so I do the strength workouts on the app instead.
Hi Amanda, I so enjoy all your videos. You are such a kind and beautiful woman inside and out. thank you for all your inspiration. I am hoping to learn if you are still enjoying your walking pad . I have really thought about getting one and I fully trust your opinion and experience so much. I have alwasy been an active person, love to walk, dance and work out but with increasing and overwhelming aging parent/ family obligations and work stressors I can't seem to find any time for myself. I need to get back to taking just a little time to refuel my soul. Thank you for all your inspiration
For strength training I totally recommend lifting weights!! It is so important to not just do a ton of cardio workouts but to always always include strengthen training!! It's so good for your joints your bones and keeps the dreaded osteoporosis at bay too!! Plus muscle burns more calories than fat so you end up upping your metabolism too!! As for plan I totally recommend Caroline Girvan!! She's at fitness trainer that started an online UA-cam channel at the beginning of the pandemic for her clients but she went viral!!! She's amazing!!! Start with iron it's slow but very very effective!! And it doesn't completely drain you but gives you a good workout and you definitely get results!!!
Yes! I do weights twice a week right now but want to do a little more :) Thanks for the recommendation I'll check it out! My husband is actually wanting to start his own training program so maybe I should just listen to him 😂
Does your discount code for the walking pad expire? I tried using it and it didn’t apply. Thought you should know and get credit for my purchase, since your video influenced my decision.
I just ordered the walking pad! Thanks for the discount code Amanda! This will be great for me and my retired mom who lives with me. I also have a baby the same age as Josie, so this will really help me fit in some walking when she’s napping. I’ve been losing weight with the Dukan diet, my endocrinologist recommended it to me after my thyroid removal and I’m having great success! Down 18 pounds! I’m also intermittent fasting a few times a week. Keep up the good work!!!
@@piinkdollable I really like it! It can go faster than I expected since it’s only really intended for walking, some of the higher settings are more like jogging or running for me. My only caution is if you don’t have good balance it’s not going to work for you. My 70 year old mom could no use it even on the slowest setting because she needs something to hold on to. It’s fine for me, but she was hoping to use it too, so that was a little disappointing.
Does the promo code still work?I’m very interested in buying however it doesn’t seem to work anymore. I just came across your video the other day and hadn’t realized it’s 6 months old🤪
I haven't tried Whole 30 for that reason! It's good to try and see if you feel a difference though I've always been curious about it! I've been trying to cut out dairy but it hasn't been going so well 😩
Re low impact strengthening routine. I used to be a gym rat and my weight lifting routine was based on Joe Weider’s pyramid sets… yeah, you don’t need all that and yes, I’m really dating myself. So fast forward, I’m 70 and over the years (decades) I learned that a moderation is best. I recommend 2 or 3 pound dumbbells. 5 pound tops. Just do 20 reps of a low weight of bicep curls, tricep kickback, shoulder raises and side raises. Slowly. Breathe. Exhale at the exertion point (protect your pelvic floor). Done. Everyday if you’d like. Amanda, you’ve got this❤
I lost 40 lbs. by walking an hour a day. I do like going up steep hills, though, after my initial poor fitness level improved, I needed them to get a good workout. I long ago banned any form of sugar from my diet. This includes processed foods, which are full of sugars with sneaky names. Evaporated cane syrup, come on! This is exactly what table sugar is, evaporated cane or beet syrup.
When you talked about dropping a meal to meet your calorie restriction for your vacation, it made me so sad. I grew up in a household with a lot of calorie restrictions and have had to unlearn a lot of unhealthy eating views bc of it.
What? Be sad now, or sad later. Pick your sad. I’d rather skip an extra meal I’m barely hungry for and enjoy feeling light and comfortable walking in shorts on vacation. Only Americans assign such a “sad” meaning to maintaining reasonable food quantities. Overeating can lead to obesity and shortening of life!
Also depends on age. As one enters their 40s, it starts to become clear that reducing food intake is the only way to keep up. Was surprised to gain a few pounds eating as I always have, but entering middle age is kind of shocking like that.
Don’t put your trauma with food onto her. The human body doesn’t have an internal meal-counter. It only knows energy in vs. energy out. During intermittent fasting, it can be difficult to fit 3 meals into the schedule. You typically try to fit all of your calories into the feeding window either through two satiating meals or by grazing throughout the eating window. Alternatively, she may be reducing her calorie intake by one meal because her energy needs are lower. The “3 meals per day” standard was built by society when people were far more active in their daily work. If you do labor-intensive work in the trades, at a factory, on a farm, moms chasing their children around the house, or nurses on their feet all day… you probably need three meals to meet your caloric needs. But nowadays, many of us work desk jobs and only get up to use the bathroom or eat lunch. Humans were not made to be sedentary, and yet most of us are. If you’re not moving much during the day, your body does not need as much food energy. This is also age-dependent. Young people with faster metabolisms typically have higher energy needs. You can eat 2 meals per day and still have a healthy relationship with food.
Remember this relative to everyone. Some people may eat a lot at each meal and cutting that meal might be what leads to the weight loss. However it's not the only way, you could half the portion and keep the meal. Just remember that people do what works for them on their weight loss journey
I work retail 3 days a week so I always get my steps in! We also do stock so I fell like I get some strength workout. Yesterday I walked almost 8 miles! I am so tired when I get home I am so tired that I can bearly eat dinner!
No it hasn't changed at all 😩 It's been discouraging to navigate but I'm just trying to accept it's genetic at this point. I'm going to a specialist about it this summer because I'm worried about a second pregnancy and all that.
Love this vid thanks hun. A while back i told you i was getting weight loss surgery july of 2022 well the idiot surgeon messed up my vegas nerve he did not do the surgery because of this 😢 he told me the truth then lied about when he knew i had a lawyer looking into what he did. So iv been sad depressed overeating emotionally. But im trying to pull myself out of this misery. I really need your tips. ❤hugs love all your vids.

I’m with you in high intensity. I stopped doing that and now focus on yoga, Pilates, walking and some strength.

Yay!! I'm so glad!! 😊
Loved the tie! I am a strict workout person, dedicated to Peleton and intermittent fasting. Everyone needs to find their niche so they make it a lifestyle. ❤
I noticed such a difference with fasting! Do you do it every day?
I appreciate how sensible this is.
Glad you enjoyed it!

Your skin has gotten cleaner and glowing are you taking collagen ?
I just started taking it this week so I don’t think that counts lol. But thank you! I’ve been using a new skincare routine I need to share
I lost 10 pounds when I did Whole30 in January. Unfortunately that’s not a sustainable diet. Currently I’m trying to kick added sugar.

Can you link your avocado tool, please?

@@AmandaJohn Thank you. :)
is it very loud this walking pad?
What kind of folding treadmill did you get?
I don’t remember the name of the exact model but it should be linked in the description!
Great video. Please do another Spanx video❤❤❤❤
I think I'll have something fun coming up with them :) Is there something specific you'd like me to review?
Did this help with your BP? Mine has been high lately 😭
No it hasn't changed at all 😩 It's been discouraging to navigate but I'm just trying to accept it's genetic at this point. I'm going to a specialist about it this summer because I'm worried about a second pregnancy and all that.
How long have you been using the Walking Pad? Is the C2 the newest model?
For about a month! I’m not sure if it’s the newest model :)
Do you still have a code for the walking pad?
I think it expired in the new year! I've been asking for a new one xx
Is this okay on carpet?
I use mine on carpet but they don't recommend if you're using the automatic feature! I typically use manual speed
Promo code doesn’t work :(
It must have expired. I’ll touch base with them and see if I can get a new one for this year!

Thank you!
10 pounds in two months isn’t that great! Try 10 pounds on one month then come talk to us !
that is a healthy and sustainable rate of weight loss especially for someone that clearly was not super overweight.
Such good tips! Thanks so much!

I tried WW three times, with the same results - I steadily gained two pounds a week!
