You look gorgeous, and healthy Marlene. You should be the poster child for WW!! I'm so happy for you, my friend. Blessings, and love..MaryEllen
Thank you so much, my Beautiful Friend! LOL, WW doesn't know who the heck I am, but I'm so grateful for this program. Love and hugs! xoxo
This was just what I needed to hear today. First, congratulations on your 100 pound lost, you look amazing. I just restarted a weight loss journey, just turned 65 this year and needed to see someone at my age win at this. Thank you for telling your story. I'm inspired to win as well.
Hi! Thank you so much for visiting and the kind words! I'm so happy my video was helpful! Yes, you can do this! We have cared for husbands, children, elderly parents, and worked all our lives.... it's time to take care of ourselves! We have earned it! xoxo
Marlene, this was very helpful. I rejoined WW in July 2020 at 63 and you are right, it is much harder to lose in your 60’s than when you are younger. I have been on WW before when I was younger and dropped very quickly. However, even though it’s slower, I have been losing and no matter how long it takes, I’m committed to keeping it off. You are so encouraging. Thanks for sharing your heart.❤
Hi Cathy, thank you so much for stopping by. I think the key is being committed if this is something we want to do. Keep me posted! xoxo
You’re such an inspiration! Thank you for sharing your WW weight loss journey.
Marlene, thank you so much. You inspire me lots!! I am 64 and 5'1" and weight about 220#. I am not happy with myself and I know I need to be! I have a disability where I can't walk for exercise, so have to depend on eating healthier and trying harder at that with not depriving myself. Thank you!!
Marlene, I’m so happy for you. Loved the video and the “can do” message that you conveyed. Health and fitness are so important as we age. Congrats!!
Thank you so much, Ann! It really is important as we age. xoxo
You look absolutely AMAZING!!! I have been on weight watchers in the past, and it taught me a lot! I’ve been able to keep my weight off for 30 years just by continuing to follow what I learned!
This is so encouraging I joined WW last week and my knees and back are killing me I'm so overweight but this first week I lost weight and I don't feel deprived...you look so young!
Such great advice! Don’t deprive self, don’t get hungry, drink water, treat self and bo ok with it, increase fiber, walk small bits throughout the day, don’t bring the temptations home but go out for them now and again. Lose weight to feel better and for our health.
This has been so helpful and motivational. Thank you Marlene!
I'm so happy to hear my video was helpful, Michelle. xoxo
Hi Marlene what liquids do you drink during the day?
Good Morning, Thank you for the video. I really needed to hear this. I've been on WW for a while now and still struggling with the same first 5 pounds. Every time I feel like I'm eating something that I shouldn't I just give up. I get so mad and upset at myself. I've done Low Carb and I guess that's where my mindset still is . I'm getting my butt in gear getting on track and going to start moving. Thank You again for your inspiration 💖
Hi Angela, thank you so much for visiting. Please keep in mind there are no foods that you shouldn't be eating. Try to eat foods that you enjoy, use your points, and monitor your weeklies. The weeklies are there for you to use. If you want to have a meal that is pretty high in points, perhaps portion it out. Save part of it for the following day or freeze it for the following week. The most important thing is to not deprive yourself. Remind yourself there are no foods off limits. If there's a day or two that you have more points than your recommended, that's ok too. Just go back to your points the following day. Try not to give up carbs (we need them)... if you love bread, consider Sarah Lee 45 calorie or Thomas Light English Muffin. If you just want that pasta, then have it but perhaps eat half a portion. Be kind to yourself. You can do this. xoxo
Thank you for the encouragement. I am so happy for you and believe I can accomplish my goal too.
Hi Marlene, I am so proud of what you have accomplished & how respectful, thorough, & kind you were in explaining how you dropped your weight successfully, in a very healthy way too. I will always be your fan. ~ Jennie ~
Hi Jennie, thank you so much for visiting and the very sweet comment. I'm so happy to know my message came across as intended. I hope all is well with you! Big Hugs! xoxo
Hello Marlene. I just found your channel a couple days ago and you are great. First of all you look so beautiful, healthy and so young! I’m 53 and about 200 lbs. going through menopause and having a thyroid condition I’ve put so much weight on and it’s been difficult to lose. I recently started the new WW and I’m enjoying it. Years ago I did keto and lost a ton of weight but then gained it all back. I need something more sustainable. I’m a fellow Cuban (from NJ) and I love my rice. You say you don’t need rice and you enjoy cauliflower. I can’t seem to like cauliflower rice. Ive tried so much. So I keep having regular rice but smaller portions. I also try to stay away from sugary stuff just as you mentioned. Thank you for all the tips and advice. Sorry for rambling on. Lol. Have a great day and God bless you.
You are amazing. You have gone through so much tragedy and really are an inspiration. Bless you Marlene. Love you! Melissa
Hi Melissa! Thank you so much. If I can help or inspire others, it just gives me purpose to get out of bed each day. Love you too, my beautiful friend. xoxo
Wow, Marlene!!! You did it! Congratulations 🎉! You look fabulous.
Blessings. Big hugs.
Thank you so much, C! Big hugs to you too, my friend! xoxo
Greetings Marlene! You inspire me every time you talk about your weight loss journey. Thank you so much! Love you! ♥️🙏
Hi Jean! Thank you so much for visiting me on this channel! I'm so happy my video was inspiring. Lots of love and hugs! xoxo
Thank you for sharing your journey. Congratulations on your successes! 💜
Thank you so much and thank you for visiting! xoxo
Great presentation. Thank you for sharing your story.
Congratulations!! I love this video, so motivating. I’m your age and it is a daily struggle keeping the weight off but worth it!! God bless!!❣️
Thank you so much, Landra! Yes, it is a struggle, but we can do this!! Hugs! xoxo
This was awesome and I am so proud of you! Great job! I've gained over the past 3 years, so this is good inspiration.
Thank you so much, Kathy! xoxo
Excellent video and very good advice! Thank you soooo much👍🏾
Thank you so much for visiting! xoxo
Excellent video thank you! I just started a month ago so am finding your tips very helpful. Going on 60 I agree, different strategies needed to lose but I love the program so far!
Hi Ana! Thank you so much for visiting! I'm so happy to hear you're loving the program. It's been the best that has worked for me. For me, it's a way of life not just a diet. xoxo Marlene
Just found your channel today 10/13/22 and I am watching more of your videos. I love them. I follow WW.
Hi Jill, a big warm welcome to you! I'm so happy you're enjoying my videos! I look forward to getting to know you! xoxo
Hello Marlene. I wanted to thank you for inspiring me. I have a very similar story as you. I gained so much weight these last 2 yrs . I had 2 major surgeries this last year and that just added to the weight. I am at the point where I don't like myself. Watching your journey has given me inspiration. I hope to post my progress one day. Thank you
Hi Erica, thank you so much for visiting! I'm so happy to read my video was inspiring. I know just how you feel because that's exactly where I was 13 months ago. You can do this! I have no doubt you will be posting your progress as well! Keep me posted and if you have any questions, I'm always happy to help. xoxo
You look beautiful Marlene! I know you've been through alot but you really rallied and it shows. You're so petite! I need to lose 20 that I did lose with keto for my daughter's wedding but my boyfriend doesn't eat at all the way I need to so I need to prepare my foods separately! Thank you for doing this video! You are amazing!
Thank you so much, Lori. The nice thing about WW is there are no separate meals to prepare or give up. You can still cook whatever you both prefer and still drop the weight. xoxo
Thanks a bunch for sharing. You are an inspiration. I enjoy your videos. Happy Sunday 🍂💕🍂
Hi Debra! Thank you so much for visiting! I'm so happy to know you enjoy my videos! I love recording them and sharing! xoxo
I just found your site! I'm 66 working to loose on ww. Have about 30 to get rid of.
I so appreciate your honesty. I’ve done WW several times... have lost.... then gained. I’m going to be 65 in Nov and have never been this heavy.... knees hurt...etc. Am so miserable. Plus after having COVID a year ago... still not able to taste much at all. So why go to all the trouble of cooking great food when you can’t taste? 🤦♀️. Because I can’t .... I unfortunately have gone to wine nightly... which isn’t good! Right? So that must stop. After watching this.... I’m rethinking WW again... and possibly going to try again. At 65... you hear about our hormones and how it affects the weight loss struggle... pills and fast answers....but that’s not the solution at all. Thank you for sharing your journey. Because you’re my age... I’m encouraged once again! I would love to get back into those clothes in my closet that are lonely! Size 6 would be divine.... that would make me so happy! I did it once. I could possibly do it again! 🙋♀️💕🌴👏
Hi Terri, thank you so much for visiting! First of all, yes, you can! You can do this and fit into those lonely clothes once again. I'm so sorry about the aches & pain. Last summer, my knees hurt so badly I could barely walk and had to go to PT 3 x /week. I know it's no fun and I'm so sorry you're going through this. Like you, I was also have nightly wine. Once I started WW, I stopped the daily wine, and have some a few times/month or if I go away somewhere. After the weight starting coming off, the aches started going away. I no longer have knee pain or back ache. This has made a world of difference for me. I hope it does the same for you. Wishing you the very best! xoxo
I so appreciate your vid. I'm starting WW again and I'm up past where you were. So it's really motivating to see your experience and advice. I didn't check out any UA-cams last time but i found a lot that are helpful. 👍👍
Hi Jenna, thank you so much for stopping by! Yes, there are lots of great ladies on UA-cam offering many meal suggestions and sharing their journey. Wishing you the best! xoxo Marlene
Thank you for the encouragement. I am almost 70 and I weigh 184 because I gained 45 pounds during Covid. I still have trouble keeping myself from eating when I am not hungry. I think I will try WW and see if I can get back on track. You are an inspiration. Thank you so much. ❤️❤️❤️
Hi Octavia, thank you so much for stopping by. I'm so happy my video was helpful. Try not to be too hard on yourself. You are not alone and a great many of us gained weight during Covid. We couldn't go out to much, locked in with almost nothing to do but eat and watch TV (that's where a good part of my weight gain came from). You can do this, just take it one day at a time, don't go hungry, keep tempting foods out of the house (I keep chocolate and chips out of the house, but I eat them once per week when I'm out somewhere), and if you do decide to follow WW, just track your foods. If I can ever be of any help, please don't hesitate to ask. xoxo
I understand very much the struggle. I am 70 and also gained. On top of that I have developed anxiety about going out at all now. I haven't tried WW in years. My issue with it prior was the fact that I seemed to be concentrating too much on food when I needed to not think about it.
You’re an inspiration! 💜
Thank you so much, R.F xoxo
Very real and inspiring. Thank you.
Thank you so much for visiting and the sweet comment! xoxo
Your story is my story; I gave up so long ago. You are inspiring me, I turn 68 in a few days. I always feel good about myself but I don't feel good being so over weight.
Woo hoooo Marlene! I’m so happy for your 100 pound weight loss! I started WW in Feb 2022,because of one of your videos. What sold me was the app. It makes tracking SO easy! I’m down nearly 40 pounds and I’ll be 65 next week. Two questions: How have you kept your skin firm? How tall are you? Liz
Hi Liz! A HUGE congratulations on your weightloss! That is awesome and I'm so happy for you! I agree! The app sold me as well! It's so easy! I'm 5'4" I'll be having a skincare video up soon with my morning and evening routines, but honestly, I think my firm skin has more to do with genes rather than all the products I use. Every morning, I use vitamin C serum, Hyaluronic acid, sunscreen and SkinCeuticals Triple Lipid Restore anti aging treatment; in the evenings, I alternate between retinoids and Osmosis MD. I do have Botox on my forehead for the elevens which get pretty bad and very noticeable. xoxo
Your story is literally my story. After years of dieting, Im highest Ive ever been
64, 5' and 221. I could be you 2 years ago. Sad but am getting a little hopefull listening to you.
I like that you incorporate wine into your “lifestyle” bc I truly enjoy having a glass of wine with my dinner, I just account for it with my plan but end up feeling guilty bc everyone says absolutely no alcohol……keep it real, i say!
👏congratulations Marlene..you look absolutely beautiful,you always have. Your happiness glows…continued success 😊
Hey Beautiful! So nice to see you! Thank you so much! I hope all is well with you! xoxo
You are so encouraging!😊😊
Thank you so much, Sylvie! xoxo Marlene
You look amazing! I am over year in and still have work to do.
Congratulations Marlene, you look great.
Thank you so much, Jay! Hugs!
Thanks for sharing and I like that concept of doing it just because you want to be a certain size. I am struggling on how to keep track of points or foods. I need to get started and just figure it out.
Hi Kimberly, thank you so much for visiting! Once you get the hang of the app, it'll be very easy for you to keep track of what you eat, scan foods at the grocery store, and find your favorite restaurants. xoxo Marlene
You look amazing Marlene - congratulations ✔️🙌🙌♥️
Thank you so much, Beautiful! xoxo
Congratulations 🎉
Congratulations on the 100 pound weight loss 👏👏
Thank you so much! xo Marlene
Thanks for sharing!
You have motivate me to continue my weight loss journey. I was just about to give up
Hi Ana, please don't give up. You can do this!! Keep at it and before you know it, you'll look in the mirror and see the new you! xoxo Marlene
First of all you look beautiful and not a day over 45-48 , my sister agreed 😊 hard to believe you are 65. I loved your practical advice thanks for the encouragement it’s so much harder to lose weight when we don’t put in the effort, so I’m going to give WW another go, because I have successfully lost weight in the past with it and your video helped me so much thanks
Hi Tamara, thank you so much for visiting and the lovely compliment. I'm so happy my video was helpful. It really means more than I can say. xoxo
This is fabulous! Thanks for sharing and explaining. I got the WW app on Sun. It helps so much to track what I'm consuming. I lost on Keto but not a healthy diet. I want to keep the pounds off and eat healthy foods.
You are literally glowing!
My problem is consuming enough calories to keep my metabolism going.
Have a great day❣
Hi there, beautiful! Thank you so much! I had the same issue of not consuming enough calories and I didn't want them to be empty calories. I remedied it by always having Premier Protein Drinks in the fridge (about 160 calories, high protein + 1 gram of sugar and 2 - 3 points depending on the flavor). I neglected to mention this in the video. I also always have Oiko yogurt (1 point) in the fridge. Between these two items, I was able to supplement my calorie intake, limit my sugar intake, and the points are low. Keep me posted on how it's working for you! xoxo
@@MarleneFabGlamOver50 That's great advice. I will keep you updated ❣
Hi Marlene, first of all congratulations on losing all that weight! It’s funny because all the years I watched you on UA-cam I never thought you were heavy. So maybe a lot of the times I only saw you from the neck up and never realized it but you do look great. I was curious if you ever attend the meetings or if everything is done virtually? I know way way back when I belonged to it we counted all the points and they stressed how important the meetings were to keep us motivated. I know you have no control over the ads that UA-cam puts on your video but I laughed when all of a sudden the Nutrisystem ad flashed on your screen! Lol So once again congratulations… There is light at the end of the tunnel! Hugs, Dolores ❤️👍🥰👏
Hi Dolores! How are you, beautiful? Thank you so much! LOL, when I started this channel, my camera was aimed lower; as the weight piled on, camera went up and I only shot from my shoulders. I don't go to meetings; I just use the app on my phone. Years ago, I did go to meetings but that didn't last too long. There are virtual meetings (I believe), but I've never attended one. I don't think there's anything wrong with meetings; it's just not my thing to do. However, I have a friend that does attend meetings in her area and she loves going. She's lost all the weight she wanted to lose but says the meetings help her stay on track, enjoys meeting the other ladies, and there's always something new she learns. I guess it's a matter of preference. LOL that's too funny about the ad. Yes! There is light at the end of the tunnel! That is for sure! Love and hugs, my friend xoxo
Congratulations ❤️
Thank you so much, Wanda! xoxo
this is such a big help to me since disable, will be 60 and have lost alot of weight but ut some on these past 2 years. might have thyroid issue. hai thinning and weight gain, will joining ww again to help with some of this
Hi Michelle, thank you so much for visiting. I'm so incredibly sorry you are experiencing this. WW has many different plans; I hope one will work for you. xoxo
Thank you for sharing, you look beautiful 💜
Hi there, my beautiful friend! Thank you so much for stopping by and thank you so much for the lovely compliment. I feel so much better! xoxo
Hi Marlene. I am very inspired by your success. I am considering WW myself, but only if I can make it my lifestyle. I'm 61 and tired of all the diet trends. How do you handle cooking for spouse/family? Do you make your food then their food? How do you handle going out to eat or social gatherings? Those 2 issues are my challenge. Thank you
Hi Theresa, thank you so much for visiting! I think the premise behind WW is that it is a lifestyle where we don't have to give up any foods; I have never cooked anything differently for my family. If they wanted potatoes and gravy, I'd make it and do one of two things: eat a small portion or have some salad or vegetables instead. I have always made salads and or some vegetables for dinner along with whatever else I'm making. What I've never done or will do is prepare separate meals. As for going out, I plan my meals. If I know I'll be going out to dinner or social gathering, I'll keep my points low for breakfast and lunch, then eat whatever I want at the restaurant although I do try to make good choices. If I want some dessert, I'll have it. If I want to have something that is very high in points, I ask for a carry-out when my meal arrives and portion out half to take home for the following day. However, I have never deprived myself. When I was in WA for the 4 days, I ate at restaurants every day for all 3 meals and had my birthday cake two days in a row. I hope this helps. xoxo
So inspired!
Yay! I'm so happy to hear!!! xoxo Marlene
Miss you. When will you post again? Soon I hope!
Tell me about the wigs... where do you get these? They look so real
Awesome video thank you
Thank you so much, Paige! xoxo
Congratulations you look beautiful. I’m on WW love lost 25 pounds and I only have 10 more to go
Thank you! Woohoo, Gerri! I'm so happy for you!! Way to go!! xoxo
I am 65 and 195 pounds. You are a real inspiration.
Hi Sabine, thank you so much for visiting and the sweet comment! Today is my weigh-in day so I went back to see how much I weighed in Dec the day before my brother's wedding. I weighed 195 pounds.. 9 months later, I'm down 50 pounds. If your goal is to drop some weight, you can do this. Some say that it's not possible to drop weight after 60. Yes, we can! Please let me know if you have any questions. xoxo
@@MarleneFabGlamOver50 thank you. Bt the way I am following from the Netherlands.
Oh wow! You're following me from afar... how I'd love to visit there one day! xoxo
Sounds like you found balance which is key.
So glad I found your channel. I’ve never weighed over 132 but CoVid and medication for an autoimmune disease has me up to 164 and I’m so small boned. Problem is a don’t cook and don’t want to cook. Eating Factor dinners now four nights a week but not helping. May try WW but I know I’m not going to cook at 73. Do you exercise on a machine?
Hi Carole, I don't cook too much either. I basically live on salads, vegetables and seafood or chicken. However, nothing elaborate. I'll stir fry, but that's about it. I do not exercise on a machine. I walk about 5 miles per day around the neighborhood. I just break it up into mile or mile and half intervals. xoxo Marlene
Hi Marlene ! You look fabulous! I have to wonder when I see really obese people what it will take to get them to go that's enough I need to take charge of my life and my body. I am happy you did that before it's too late. Food is an addiction like anything. But it's funny You can still eat food and be dieting you just have to eat better choices right? Weight watchers is one of the best because you can eat real food. I wrote a book called " Finding the right diet for you" which talks about why diets fail! Honestly there's so many gimmick diets out there and they're not for us ! You look Maa-va-lus ! Love ya , Babs ❤️
Hi Babs, thank you so much! I'm really happy I took control before I gained anymore weight. I love WW. It really is a way of life for me. I still eat whatever I want. The key is moderation and making good choices. Love ya too, my friend! xoxo
@@MarleneFabGlamOver50 ❤️❤️
Hola Marlene! I've been waiting for this video for a while. You truly are an inspiration! I've been on WW since July and I've lost 16 lbs. I have 24 to go. It seems that the weight loss is so slow with me. I need to be patient with myself. How long did it take you to get to your goal weight? Did you ever experience any stomach problems? I do. Why have you remained with WW even after reaching your goal? Thank you for the great videos. Blessings to you.
Hi Sandy, thank you so much for visiting! Congratulations on your weight loss! Actually that's not real slow to have lost 16 pounds in less than 3 months. It's better to lose slowly because that way it'll stay off. Losing about 5 pounds per month is perfect. I started Aug 24, 2021, so it's been over a year. Some weeks I lost half pound, some weeks, I lost 3 pounds, some weeks nothing, and I hit a few plateaus along the way where the weight would just stay in one place for a couple of weeks, but I just stuck to it. I never experienced any stomach problems at all. I actually feel better than ever. I haven't reached my goal weight yet; I still want to lose about another 10 pounds. Once I do, I become a lifetime member (no cost if I'm not mistaken), and will continue with the maintenance in order to make sure to keep myself in check. Once I get there, I will record a video explaining it with all the facts. xoxo
@@MarleneFabGlamOver50 That's exciting to be so close to goal weight! Thanks for reassuring me that 5 lbs per month is good. I am going at this 5 lbs at a time. That way it won't seem like such a big ordeal. Some weeks I wouldn't lose anything and then I'd lose 2 lbs. all at once. August 24! A really good day! You started your weight loss adventure last year and I turned 64 this year. I can't wait til you hit your goal weight and make that video you speak of. Be healthy and blessed.
You're very welcome. I had to track my weight this morning and went to check how much I had lost per month. In Dec, I weighed 195 pounds, so yes, slowly wins the race. It really is better to lose 4 - 5 pounds/month and for the weight to stay off. If we lose it too quickly, I believe the weight comes back quickly. By dropping weight slowly, our bodies adjust to the change. I did what you're doing. I didn't look too far ahead and celebrated each amount lost whether it was .2 pounds or 3 pounds. I also celebrated when there was no loss because that indicated there weren't any gains. I also hit plateaus that lasted for a couple of weeks as my body adjusted to the new weight. You hang in there. Remember you can do this. I'm here if you have any questions or need some cheering on! xoxo
Love this
Thank you so much! xoxo
You are a true inspiration ❤️ I lost 35lbs by low carb & sugar & working out with Leslie Sansone. I have made a lifestyle & that really helps. Blessings ❤️
Hi Sherie! Thank you so much for stopping by! Congratulations on your weight loss! lowering carbs and sugar really does help. Oh wow! I exercised with Leslie Sansone a few years ago. I'm going to have to look her up again. I had totally forgotten about her. Thank you for the reminder. I hope all is well with you! xoxo
Congratulations to you. I have about 10 lbs to lose and may go back to WW. I’m a lifetime member. I eat too many carbs.
Congratulations to you, Joy! If you're a lifetime member, you can come back anytime, is that correct? I love carbs too so I try to keep them out of the house. LOL. xoxo
@@MarleneFabGlamOver50 I’ve got to do research to see if I can come back anytime. I think it is a fabulous eating plan. Most Drs recommend it. If you don’t mind me asking, what finally pushed you over the edge to start weight watchers?
I don't mind you asking at all! Getting on the scale and seeing 245 pounds, not fitting into anything smaller than a size 20, looking at myself in the mirror, and seeing how terrible I looked as I was editing my videos. It made me sick to look at myself. That's what pushed me; I realize it shouldn't be that way, but all my life I've liked looking nice. To my eyes, I just looked terrible. Finally, I realized how depressed I was feeling and told myself that I had to make a change. xoxo
@@MarleneFabGlamOver50 Good for you!
Congratulations Marlene!!🎉. You are so inspiring. I think my biggest hurdle is that my husband )who never gains weight) wants me to cook huge meals for him. It’s so hard to try to diet when he demands homemade goodies, mashed potatoes and gravy. Homemade rolls and lots of meats including fried chicken ,etc. he gets so crabby if I try to change the way I cook. Any tips on dealing with this ? Married 48 years.
Hi Gerry, thank you so much! I understand what you're saying. On WW, there are no special meals to purchase or prepare. We eat regular foods. In my house, there has always been a salad on the table for supper, If someone wanted potatoes and gravy, I'd make it and either eat a small portion or have the salad. I do tend to skip bread but that's just me. As for the fried chicken, I'd remove the skin. Again, that's just me. As long as you enter the foods you eat in the app and track your points, there's no reason to deprive yourself. I hope this helps. xoxo
@@MarleneFabGlamOver50 thank you Marlene💓. And you do look amazing 💓
Thank you so much, Gerri! xoxo
Wowza. I’m 66. You look very nice.
Thank you so much for visiting and the lovely compliment! xoxo Marlene
Marlene..thank you for the video. Do you attend the weekly meetings or do you only do the app?
Hi There Beautiful! I only use the app; I don't go to meetings. xoxo
Have you found the fountain of youth? Can’t believe you are 65! Congrats on the wellness journey! 💜
Awwe, thank you so much! Nope, just good skincare, the magic of makeup and beautiful wigs xoxo
How do you feel about loose skin? Did you have a lot? I am on WW now and the biggest thing that has been holding back my weight loss has been the thought of loose skin and then giving up my binge eating at night when I just have to have! Thank you for your encouragement!
Don’t let that stop you. Just lose the weight slowly and exercise. That combination usually helps with loose skin. Your health is the most important thing. Good luck! 😊
You are 26 and 98 lbs. right? You look amazing!
Thank you so much! xoxo
ty for sharing. ill be 60 in nov.
Thank you so much for stopping by! Happy early birthday! xoxo
You look fabulous! I cut simple carbs and am losing.🌷🌹🌷🌹🌷
Hi Gretta! Congratulations!!!! That's great! We each just need to do what works best for each of us! xoxo
Marlene my name is Lois. Let me say you are amazing four years ago I lost 65 pounds with WW and kept it off. I gained 20 of it back just recently because of a binging problem. I work out four days at the gym and at home to. But this binge eating is hurting never did this before. I tell the doctor and he will say stop doing that, but they just do not understand. Any advice I am on 29 points a day.
Hi Lois, thank you for visiting. I used to binge as well especially this year. What I do is I keep zero /low points premeasured snacks on hand. That's what helped me because we can't just stop. I keep sliced cucumbers in the fridge, cucumber "sandwiches" with laughing cow cheese, sliced apples, Skinny Girl popcorn, etc. so when I want to binge, I do so on healthy low point alternatives. Also, I keep no trigger foods in the house: chips, high fat ice cream or any foods I know I'll sit and eat the entire package. I don't deprive myself of any of these; I just don't keep them in the house. I hope this helps. xoxo Marlene
I just found this ❤️
Hi there how long did it take you to lose your hundred pounds?
Hi Darlene my Goal is 100 too. Where do I start?
Hi Susan, I started by making the decision that I wanted to lose the weight, joined WW, used the WW app for everything I ate. used moderation, never deprived myself, and I did my best to choose my foods wisely. The pounds just started melting away. Before I knew it, I was down 11 pounds. xoxo Marlene
Do you go to meetings or do WW online?
Hi Sue, I don't go to meetings. I only use the app. xoxo
I am losing weight presently and I'm on the right track. I am 63 and I've never had to lose this much weight before and I'm very worried about the sagging skin. Especially my neck. I need to lose about 40 or 50 lbs. I lost 50 at age 42 and at that age it was very minimal. Has anyone been through this? I have seen shows where they have terrible hanging skin but they have lost like 300 lbs. I'm wondering about 50 lb. weight loss and the effects of that.
Hi Donna, Congratulations on your weight loss. I don't have hanging skin except on my upper arms. I plan to have the excess skin on my arms removed in Jan 2024. xoxo Marlene
@@MarleneFabGlamOver50 Thanks for replying Marlene. My upper arms are also the (worst) trouble spot for me. I wouldn't hesitate to get any surgery for anything that bothers me, including (especially) my face. But financially it's not possible, at least not right now. ,Take care!
You look lovely
Also about 10 years younger than your age.
Thank you so much, Ann! I really appreciate the sweet compliment! xoxo
I can't stop Dr pepper and I don't like diet
HI Shirley, thank you so much for visiting. Any soda contains about 1 cup of sugar per can, so it's probably high in points; however, if it's not something you want to give up, you would take those points into consideration when tracking points. One nice thing about WW is there is nothing we need to give up. xoxo
Did you ever mention you were getting a neck lift in September? Did you get it? You look amazing. -Lisa
Hi Lisa, thank you! No, I've postponed the face lift, but I will be getting it. I will let you all know when and take you on that journey. xoxo
Are you 65? You look stunning.
Thank you so much! Yes, I am! xoxo
I just came across this. I’m so excited for you. I am trying to lose 15 pounds. 🙏 I also go to WW. I was at lifetime goal, maintenance, and put the weight back on! 🥲
Hi, thank you so much for visiting! I'm very excited about the weight loss. You can do this! Sometimes, life gets in the way, things happen, and some pounds come back on. I know that between losing my mom in April coupled with divorce, I put on a few pounds. The light at the end of the tunnel is that we did it once and we can do it again. Keep me posted and stay positive! xoxo Marlene
@@MarleneFabGlamOver50 thank you. You are so amazing. You look very young. I’m really happy for you. I’m sorry to hear about your mother and the divorce. That’s a lot of loss right there. My two brothers passed away suddenly and my mother passed away due to illness. My husband had to get a liver transplant as a result of a botched surgery from a doctor. food was my coping mechanism. I have to turn to the Lord instead of food 🙏
