So nice to see this kind of video from someone who isn’t 20.
I hear you! xo
Yeah, 20 year olds are overrated...and dumb.
Totally!!!!!
I agree! Thank you so much. This video is so inspiring!
However, she definitely looks like 20 years old ☺️
This is one of the kindest, most compassionate and inspiring weight loss videos I have ever seen. Thank you Erin.💛
You are so sweet, Jude! Thank you! xo
I couldn't agree more. THANK YOU Erin for sharing. And WOW, now I'm so motivated to get on with my own weight journey. Much, much love to you Erin and all our sisters around the world. 🌸🌸🌸
I agree! She is so compassionate. We all need more of this!
agreed!
Hey Erin...you made me tear up at the end, I feel your pain! I'm the same, 5'4", most of adult life about 110 to 115lbs. Hit 50 yrs old and ballooned up to 140! 53 now, taken some of your advice, after just one month already lost 10lbs! Feeling optimistic!! Love your videos, so informative and helpful, one day at a time! ❤️ (Old jeans on standby)
Yay! That's AMAZING, Lorelai! You got this! xo
If I may ask, are you doing TA? I just restarted TA so was curious to know.
@Debbie I think you are totally right, Debbie. I never intended to be triggering or place that feeling of negativity on anyone. I hope you'll consider watching my most recent video on the journey of healing that I am on now: ua-cam.com/video/Zuk8LLxczSA/v-deo.html xo
OMG I totally relate to this situation! I started menopause at 42 but it wasn't until I turned 48 that the weight started to pile up (Depression knocked me out completely out of nowhere!) I lost all motivation in life, I quit running (I am a marathoner) didn't care what ate and life sucked tremendously!. I always maintained a healthy weight of 120-124, always active and eating healthy choices. Back to the struggle with weight at 48, nothing has helped even my 100% Vegan wonderful lifestyle for the last coupe of years and still going strong. After finding Erin's channel I feel like there is hope and there is a change to feel like my regular self again! I just turned 49 last month and I still have 20lb on me that refuse to leave no matter what I try. TAM prices always scared me, but I am now giving it a very strong consideration. Thank you Erin for your honest input because you are about to change my life 🙂
Merci. Thanks. I'm 69 y.o. Two years ago I was at 150... I'm only 5ft. I started Weight Watchers and only by journaling, taking smaller portions of food and walking, swimming and also doing Body Groove (dance exercises) on video, I've come down to 130 last Winter. However, I did it at my own pace, not worrying and mostly not feeling guilty if I cheated once in a while. During the quarantine, I gained almost 10 lbs back. Since May I've lost 5 lbs and I plan to continue until I reach 125 maybe around Xmas. So, I always like to learn about what others are doing to keep their weight in a healthy state. And I wish everybody to come out of this pandemic healthy and stronger. Love you all from Quebec, Canada.
I have to say it's so nice to see someone so honest and transparent on the internet. It's refreshing . I've watched the menopause and the tummy videos as well and.... congrats!!
Finally someone who is incredibly detailed and candid ! Thank you so much for being incredibly transparent 💜 you look great ☀️
I can so relate. Your weight loss during perimenopause is encouraging. I so really want to feel like myself again! I'm glad I'm not alone and really needed to hear that it's possible. I'm tired of wearing clothes to hide my midsection especially since I've always been naturally toned and petite. Thank you.
Thank you so much for this. I actually teared up at the end. I’ve never had a weight problem until I had a hysterectomy for medical reasons. It threw me into immediate menopause. The things that I used to do to keep my weight under control no longer work; ie eating smaller portions, cutting out snacks and/or desserts, specific workouts. It’s so demoralizing to try to get dressed and you can’t even pull your jeans up over your thighs anymore....I stood in my closet last weekend and cried trying to find something that fit. What happened?!!! My GYN told me there’s nothing I can do about it, “it’s just part of getting older..” You have given me hope, inspired me. I don’t have to settle. Thank you!
You do not need to settle and you should find a new doctor too!!!
I am right there with you. Lee Gee!!!!! It’s heartbreaking and frustrating. I’m encouraged by Erin. Fingers crossed.
I could have written this myself! Was 110 all my life until my 40s then 120 which was fine. I’m not a teenager anymore. Hysterectomy & quarantine hit, I got up to 157 at my highest and have been hating myself. I would kill to be 127 like these before photos! But I understand not feeling good and wanting to be happy again.
This has been particularly depressing because I also love style and have a large closet full of size 4. So far I have lost 8 lbs in two months which feels like a huge accomplishment. With ZERO help from my doctor who, like yours, told me to just accept it. And she is a 60 woman! NOT okay! Looking for a new one now. I realize this was a year ago, but wishing you success on your journey. So many of us can relate ❤️
@@AllyKit I too can't fit into any clothes in my closet. My couple pairs black stretch pants are my daily uniform. Keep going and I will too. Erin is so good and "gets it."
Thank you for addressing that 15lbs on us short ladies is a BIG DEAL! Im 4'11", basically a little person, and the extra 10lbs I am carrying around is so uncomfortable!
I'm 5'9" and hear to say that 15 pounds on me is also a big deal. It's mostly around my belly and I look 6 months pregnant. :(
I am the same height, and even 5 lbs makes a big difference!
I agree. I am 5'5" and 15 pounds was a HUGE amount to me. I lost it all during quarantine, and I don't ever want to go backwards. I hope to share my own story soon on my youtube channel. What a wonderful resource we have here to all support one another!
Woman of a Certain Age same here I’m 5’8 & the extra weight is so uncomfortable
4'11" here too...but i weight 159lbs. 5lbs makes a huge difference on us :( Im sticking with 16:8 intermittent fasting most days to help and lower my carbs a bit (not keto). Sugar and bread is a huge weakness of mine.
Pretty sure this is the best video I've seen lately that whittled down what worked for you, why, and that addressed some elephants (sustainability, consistency, cravings, exercise, portions, genetics). Very helpful, inspirational; very real💖👍🏼
Thank you so much! I really appreciate your feedback! xo
I love how you explained the gap! Yes girls, once menopause is staring you in the face, your weight control of the past, doesn’t work anymore.
Omg I just found this channel and I love your sincerity. You’re so real and relatable. I love your sensitivity. I’m 42 and I had always been so skinny. Just to give you an idea, I’m 5’5 and with my first pregnancy I was 118 pounds the day I gave birth. After 4 kids I was 125-128 but after turning 41 my weight started going up to the point that I was 153 during quarantine. I’ve been doing intermittent fasting, hiking and yoga and I’ve lost about 8 pounds. But my goal is to be 125 again. You’re such an inspiration and when you cried, I cried with you because it does take such a toll on your self-esteem and it does suck, especially when you love clothes and they no longer fit. Thank you for being so real and for sharing your story.
Erin, I’m amazed and filled with admiration that you persevered with your health program through this challenging time of lockdown. You look strong and beautiful. For what it’s worth, I thought you looked awesome with the extra 15 too! Thank you so much for sharing your journey and connecting with us “ladies” on a regular basis 😘
Thank you so much, Ingrid! xo
I agree! I kept thinking : What extra 15? But it's really crazy when you suddenly gain like that, and the usual remedies stop working. 🌱
Love you, Erin. You are so humble and genuine. I lost 10 lbs doing intermittent fasting for 2 months. Gained everything back during quarantine. Will go back on fasting when this is over.
This is a really tough time! Good luck, Julianne! xo
I did the IF during cuarentine, and I only lost 10 pound and absolutely no more, I keep doing it and my body stop at only 10 pound so I left it, I am eating very little and I am not loosing no more. I still have my period every month. I did this diet when younger and I lost 60 pounds in 3 months.
Yes! Thank you for this...after going through my divorce and needing to get on anxiety medication, my 5'0" frame that generally stayed around 105-110, gradually went up to 129 lbs. And like you said, it doesn't sound like much, but on a shorter frame that is quite drastic. It's uncomfortable, I'm not used to it, etc. I can't wait to apply your tips and see where they take me! Thank you for being willing to share your own journey and in such a kind, honest, and humble way! ❤
You got this! I'm so glad that this video was helpful for you! xo
Usually you lose weight on the divorce diet.
This was THE best weight management video I’ve seen. So happy you shared your journey with us. You’re lovely.
Thank you so much, Joyce! I'm so glad that you found it helpful! xo
Congratulations. Sustaining the diet and exercise during quarantine is something to be proud of.Great video-informative and transparent .
Thank you so much! xo
Wow the way you speak totally hooked me, you’re so authentic and real, and you can really tell you empathize with the viewer and whoever is watching the video, and genuinely want to help. So refreshing!
I'm so glad that you feel that way! Thank you! xo
I agree, Marly! You’ve certainly inspired me, Erin! Thank you! XO
I only discovered you within the last few weeks and I've learned so much from you. Thank you for sharing all of your journeys, Erin. You are truly an inspiration!
You’re SO sweet! Welcome, Jacqueline! Glad you are finding my content helpful! xo
I've seen a few of your videos now and just have to say that you are one of the most authentic, real & honest
UA-camr's.
No put on, no forced quirk, no loud canned music & no forced humor.
And you are very generous with things that are probably uncomfortable; for the viewers benefit.
I've already gleaned a lot from the few I've seen.
THANK YOU!
You are SO sweet, Loretta! Thank you! xo
You got me emotional for a second there. I’m glad you’re doing well. This video is so raw and honest ❤️
You are so sweet, I loved when you got a little bit emotional talking about how good you feel now. ❤️
Thank you, Rose! xo
I started TA this week. Thanks for referring her to me! WOW! I did Barre in ALX, VA and it came close to what she does but it is better. I am stoked! Things are getting in order, you are an inspiration!
Thank you for this video, Erin. I can completely relate to what you went through as I experience very similar frustrations. I am also plant based, exercise more and have a more positive and focused attitude. I think all of your subscribers need to know that going through menopause (we need a better name!) is an opportunity to embrace focusing and caring for ourselves. Wishing you continued success! All the best, Doreen
I am so glad you found this video helpful, Doreen! It's such a journey, but like you said it can absolutely be a time to embrace prioritizing ourselves! YOU are so important! Thanks for watching. xo
So glad you did this video! This last year (I'm 52) I really have noticed changes due to perimenopause and just don't feel like myself. I totally agree with you that the things that use to work just don't work after you enter perimenopause. I will be looking into adding the adreanal essence to my supplements and loved hearing what has worked for you! You look great! xoxo
Thank you so much, Anne-Marie! xo
Yes..I've gained 15 lbs ..I cut out bread, potatoes, salt, somemeat ..can't lose the weight .I'm 130 now .5'3..50yrs old..thanks for the video..
Appreciate you diving into this and I’m only in my early thirties but weight won’t come off like it used to, it’s a huge struggle and I did Tracy when pregnant and now I’m going to get back to her! Clean healthy foods no cheese and dairy make a big difference.
Thank you for sharing! xo
Hey, same here - early 30s and how is it possible for it to be so extremely difficult to lose 1 kg?? Iike what the actual F*? right? I feel like i would have to be consistent for like 6 months straight with literally no messups and then i would have lost a few kgs..... And now due to the lockdown im exercising like every day and before i struggled to get my ass to the gym 2-3 times a week lol
Tracy?
Oh, I got to it now in the video. Tracy Anderson. I’ll check it out!
At last I’ve found someone who understands!!! THANK YOU Erin...I’m 50 and live in Sussex, England and have that horrible spare tyre. I jog for 30 mins most days and do yoga and eat a Mediterranean diet but lately it’s just piled on and I not only feel hormonal but sooo depressed (especially with lock down and the job uncertainty - I’d just begun a career with British Airways - having waited for my kids to fledge - and am now waiting to see if I have a job 😢) I would love to talk to you more and today, bravely too the Day 1 tummy photo (😳😞) You’re an inspiration and I’m so glad I found you! I’m starting the intermittent fasting thing too as I definitely feel good on that. I want to inspire people too so may even post it but it’s scary starting out!! Sally xxx
Girl I am through with my periods, and now I am totally out of shape. I have to say you have a lot of will power to keep up with your diet and exercises. You are an inspiration. Thank you❤
12 years ago I lost 110 pounds and have kept it off! I am 58, and menopause was at 48. Shockingly, I sailed through menopause.... have no idea why, but I was glad!
Wow, that's amazing! xo
I cannot tell you how much this spoke to me. I've put on 20 pounds over the past 4 years. It's been my own doing. After having been active my whole life, I've been mostly sedentary and not watching what I eat. I'm lucky I haven't gained more! When you said "it sucks" about not fitting in your clothes, I felt you. It does suck. I know I'm not obese, but I'm not ME. I'm 5'5' and 20 pounds is 20 pounds. I've been working on it for a month solid, tracking everything and workout out hard 4-5 days a week (with weights and cardio) and seeing slight body changes but minimal scale change. But at almost 45, it makes me wonder if something bigger is at play. THANK YOU for sharing this. I needed this so much right now Erin. 💗
I'm so glad. Stephanie! I can definitely relate...So many people told me that I looked great and I shouldn't worry, but I just didn't feel like me. Maybe it's worth getting checked out. At least that way you will know what you are dealing with. xo
Keep it up! Enjoy the activities you are doing and get plenty of sleep 💜
We can do this!!! ❤️
I added 20 pounds at age 38 with working all hours and eating relatively healthy throughout this pandemic on a 5’5 frame that’s always been healthy and muscular at the original 120lb range. It took me 3 months getting back into a longer sleep schedule, incorporating something active every day (like hour long walks and anything more I can handle) and eating super healthy and whole foods to start to feel human again. This sharing is so helpful. Especially as I look ahead to what’s coming with peri menopause and more. Thank you both for your sharing 💗🌹
Have your thyroid checked
I am so happy to find you! You not only give info but you also add the little details that are so important.
Glad it was helpful, Geraldine! xo
Thank you so much for sharing this info and your journey! I’ve almost completely lost myself with menopause. As you mentioned, all that go-to strategies that keep me fit, lithe, and feeling great just aren’t working anymore. I am almost giving up but there’s still a glimmer of a flame inside me. You’ve given me hope. All the best to you, cara. 💕
Your video really touched me, and I wanted to hug you when you were emotional at the end. Thank you for your honesty and for sharing the hard work and careful choices that you’ve made to be successful. God bless.
Thank you so much! You are so sweet! xo
Your skin looks flawless here. Whatever you’re doing is working!
You are so sweet, Kate! Thank you! xo
Hi Erin, I just discovered your channel today. It has given me hope.Thank you so much. I have put on massive amounts of weight over this COVID period. I truly hate myself and dare not look in the mirror. I am 48 years old and a single mum to a 9 year old boy. My life came crashing down once we went into lockdown, losing all my supports and feeling so demotivated which had been creeping into my life and feeling tired, weight coming on and feeling blah. I have recently been promoted at work and only started a new job at the start of the year. I must be doing something right, I guess? Well, you have truly inspired me to get out of the sweat pants and dress to start feeling good, wear some make up and be love myself again. I have been testing a few new things over the past month. I have gone back to taking Happy Hormones, it has changed my life; getting up earlier and exercising. I love the quiet and I have some space for me. I'm loving Moms Into Fitness. This seems to work for me and I am just taking tiny steps and tweaking things here and there. You are truly authentic and so inspiring without being contrived. I do not need to feel guilty or bad or that something is wrong with me and that it is OK to try something different and see if it works for me. As you say, this won't work for everyone and this is a journey of self discovery and what worked then may or will not work now and all this is fine. I honestly can't thank you enough and I cried right along with you. I can't wait to feel that feeling of being me again. I can't wait to watch more of your inspiring videos and and feel supported and guided on my journey. Thank you and hugs. PS. Sorry for the super long post.
thank you so much for not being patronizing and guilt tripping and showoing off your abs. You are a real person, you don't feel the need to despise us to prop yourself up, REALLY APPRECIATED. I just subscribed.
I have literally done and felt every single thing you talked about! I am 49...This video is a gift and exactly what I needed to see. Thank you from the bottom of my currently flabby, bloated belly.❤️
You are so welcome, Kristen! I'm so glad that you found this helpful! xo
the bloated belly was my worst enemy. It seemed anything I put in my body immediately I would bloat.
Beth Leopard so true right!!! I am 51 now and it really is awful, feels like my belly is hanging right up my knee!!!
I agree Kristen! This video is so inspiring! I'm plan to document my own journey as well on my channel. I think it is just a positive outlet for us to all help one another to better ourselves!
I’m 5’4” and 59 years old. I have been trying to lose menapause weight since I turned 50. This video has been encouraging to me. Thank you!
The only one thing i wanna say, you look A M A Z I N G! I cannot imaging how much effort it takes/took to switch to new habits, but you do/did a great work!
Im 39, but i already thinking about what should i do now, to make it easier for me to take care of myself later. 💜💜💜 much love! Thanks for sharing 😉🤗
Thank you so much! You are so kind! xo
I always describe it as your body protecting you from being put on an ice floe or have your tribe leave you behind; it’s building up lower belly reserves to keep you alive. I’ve always been tiny, I had a hysterectomy at 45 but kept my ovaries and hit menopause at 48 and it’s been maddening. Thank you for posting this.
Erin, this is such an inspiring video for women over 40! As we hit 40-45 we tend to give up and accept that we won't be so pretty any more. Your story gives hope to our generation. Thank you so much for sharing your journey with us.
Thank you for sharing! Girl, that last part about not fitting into your clothes! YES! It's not vanity....I just want to wear my clothes! Getting older sucks for the physical reasons and I refuse to succumb to the notion of "oh, that just happens when you age"...screw that. I feel you...thank you again!
That's exactly right, Jill. xo
Thank you for being so honest about your journey. You have made me feel so happy that there is nothing wrong with me and there’s hope.
You are so welcome, Gaylene! There is definitely hope! xo
I’ve been doing Tracy Anderson’s. Since you did that video on how to sign up for her. I have watched this video about 100 times. I’m 53 4’11”. And was 115 pounds. Since Tracy and tweeting my diet. I’m at 102. Tracy Anderson is amazing!!! I’m now up to her intermediate and my stomach has never been tighter. I look better. I feel better. ALL BECAUSE OF YOU AND YOUR HONEST VIDEOS. when you started to get emotional at the end. I get it. When you feel awful and your menapausal and clothes don’t fit. Your right. It SUCKS!!!!! Tracy Anderson is changing my body and my strength. And my mind. Thank you !!!!!!!
YAY...That's awesome, Kim! Thank you for sharing! I totally agree, Tracy sure knows how to sculpt a woman's body! xo
Fighting the LONG TERM menopausal weight. You're right - it's like Nothing works. Have had hot flashes for 15 years and the hot flashes are still going strong.🥺 I love how you so casually explain your successful weight loss and it doesn't seem errogant. Love your advice always.
Aww, I am so happy for you. You look amazing, Erin!! you have hit my weak spot. I am exactly like where you was before the journey. People keep saying oh you are fine, you are tiny, no need for weight loss. Yes, it is not a lot, but that is a lot for a tiny person who is 5f2. You are such an inspiration. I am definitely keep up with my work after watching your video instead of doubting myself. Thanks for sharing, Erin.
Thank you so much, Amy! I'm so glad that you found this helpful! xo
I’m so very happy for you. Thank you for sharing. I’m 49 years old and can definitely relate. I admire your dedication and discipline to your overall wellness. Diet is my biggest challenge for sure. Giving up sweets is mentally depressing to me but my guess is that once you get over that hurdle and feel great it becomes worth it. Please continue to update us!
Thank you so much! I definitely will! xo
As a former sugar-aholic, I can promise you you'll feel much better once you remove sugar from your diet. It absolutely causes depression, lack of energy, and a lot of misery. Make some recipes that use erithritol (like Swerve) to get you through the first week that's really hard. Search keto desserts on Insta or Pinterest. You don't have to go dessert free, just get the sugar and high fructose corn syrup out, and you'll be much happier.
Hi Erin, Thank you for sharing your journey through menopause. I am post menopause and 59. I have been very focused on my weight and my health . It’s a struggle for sure. Between weight gain and hair loss Ugh 😩. So many people are doing keto and loving the results but I have always been a plant based eater. So your way of eating seems more doable for me. I can’t see doing keto forever . Thanks again :)
I really appreciate the way you presented this topic. Weight loss is such an emotional journey and this was very reasonable options vs extreme and obsessive. It helped motivate and encourage me. 🙏
Wow, congratulations, Erin! I see your change after weight loss. Very inspiring, I thought you looked great in the before pics but I get not being happy with weight gain. Your diet is inspiring as well. Thanks for your heartfelt share.
Thank you so much, Ann! xo
Thank you for your honest sharing. I have a specific question about the TA workout. I purchased her workouts on dvd years ago, after you posted a video on your postnatal weight loss through her DVDs (that were targeted for specific body types). I followed them religiously for about a year, then got bored and changed course. I am interested in exploring her magic workouts again. However her online subscription is expensive! Can you please tell me...is it much different than the DVDs?♥️🙏
Erin you are so sincere. That's why I follow your site. Thank you for sharing openly what others gloss over but not with a complaining voice, yours is a heart of sisterhood.
God bless you and your family.
You are so sweet. Thank you! xo
I can’t thank you enough for this video. I have never commented on any video before. This is my life too. I got emotional with you because I feel your pain and feel exactly the same. I am older than you but once I hit 50 the weight started creeping up. I did not change my diet but yet here I am 10 lbs heavier and I just don’t feel good about myself. I have always been so fit. Peri-menopause and Menopause are something my younger self had no idea about. Thank you for sharing your journey.
Bless you for opening up and sharing this, and a huge kudos to you for your amazing accomplishment! Way to go, girl!! So motivating!
Thank you so much! xo
I am 5'4" too and over 40. Since I had my daughter 8 years ago I have struggled so much to lose the belly flab to the point that it depresses me. I have always eaten healthy plant based meals, low calorie diets without going on a diet and lately I have been working out to exhaustion to only see NO results! I don't want to give up trying. Thank you for sharing this video, it has encourage me to find what works for me, at this age keeping in mind the stress that is surrounding us at this very moment. I hope I get there. You are an inspiration Erin. xx
I'm so glad that you found this helpful, Ana You will get there! xo
OMG!! Thank you so much!! I've been going true menopause and I feel so lost and alone! It is so hard to stay in shape and not gain weight. You re an inspiration. Thank you
So hard...You are definitely not alone! You got this! xo
Hey Erin..I just wanted to leave a message to say how much I enjoyed this video. I'm 34 which I know is pretty young but have been really struggling with my weight recently. Gaining over 15lbs. I'm used to being really slim so it's been difficult and very upsetting. Watching your video has given me some real motivation to get myself not just my body back to how I was before the weight gain. Thanku so much for this video xx
Thank you sweetheart! You are so candid and I love that! I’m 40 years old, I used to be 108 pounds and I started gainig weight since the beginning of my 20’s, mostly due to PCOS, at my heaviest I was almost 200 pounds, and by the way I’m under 5 foot 2.
I miss the younger, happier, healthier slender version of me but I am slowly getting there. ❤️
You got this! One step at a time! xo
Thank you for sharing this. I didn’t notice my other friends/family struggling with the same weight gain which was driving me nuts...so I am not alone and going crazy; it isn’t my imagination. Greatly appreciate your honesty and transparency. I laughed out loud when you said “if you aren’t going through menopause, I don’t want to get comments from you”. Unless you are going through this stage or have already gone through it, it isn’t easily understood. I am going to try the workout you recommended. Sending you love, laughter and good health 💖🥰
You are so welcome, Gita! xo
I was looking forward to this after you mentioned you were going to do it. It did not disappoint. Getting older is not easy. Thank you for talking about these issues.
I'm so glad, Karen! Thank you! xo
Hi Erin! You made me tear up as you shared your experience and started to cry. So happy you got to a place that allows you to feel more like yourself and successfully reached your goal. As for me, I'm uncomfortable in my own skin so I get the emotion you were experiencing. It does suck.
I gained weight from thyroid issues and then menopause made it worse. You're right about the things you used to do not working, but now I can't even do what I used to do. I also gained weight where I never had before. I've always carried most of my weight in the hips and thighs but after menopause everything shifted. I now gained weight on my back, waist and chest. I'm 5'8" and used to be btw 120-130 lbs. I was never of an athletic build but I was pretty trim. Now, I look like I'm 7-8 months pregnant... all the time! The initial thyroid failure caused a weight gain of 80 lbs in just a few months and my L5 disc became enflamed which caused permanent nerve damage. I've managed to lose 20-25 lbs which took several years to lose but I'm still about 50 lbs overweight. Now all of my lumbar discs are bulging so my exercise options are limited. I'm doing my best to accept myself as I am but for a while I didn't even recognize myself when I looked in the mirror. I stopped wearing makeup, doing my hair and the thought of trying on outfits would literally make me nauseous. I gave up on myself without even realizing it.
It's a struggle every day but now I'm making an effort to take care of myself regardless of how much I weigh. My priority is healing physically but I'm working on improving my self-care and appearance. The self-care is no easy task because of the negative inner chatter that takes all my energy to shut up. It can be overwhelming and exhausting, but I take a breath and start fresh. I can't invest in a new wardrobe right now but I just bought a few pieces that will be nice additions to work with the few items of clothes that do fit. These new pieces will also work when I lose the weight so I'm not wasting money. I've also had an unexpected improvement in my hair texture (the result of taking food grade diatomaceous earth which I mentioned in a separate comment to one of your hair videos) that has helped me feel a little bit more like myself. I'm taking it day by day to unlearn the negative conditioning and habits from the past several years to tap back into my awesomeness and see myself in an authentic light.
Your videos have been very helpful with insights and tips as an older woman in becoming your best self. You are beautiful, inside and out. Thank you!!!
Thank you so much for sharing your story with me! It does suck! I'm so glad this was helpful for you! Just take it one day at a time! xo
Wow Erin! You're so likeable , honest & informative. I have been yoyo dieting forever & exercising. I deal with a lot of health issues as well as being peri menopausal. Thanks for this as well as your many other videos. I feel encouraged to continue trying to lose weight.
For a lot of people, your before photo is goals, but you do look really amazing after!
For me, walking at least 10,000 steps a day has been super helpful.
Thank you, Laurel. Staying active is so important. Sounds like you are doing great! xo
if i walk or excercise those10,000 is that good for weightloss?
I used to be able to loose 3 pounds a day, before menopause, my body responded immediately to diet and exercise. After menopause, low carb has worked for me and exercise and yoga😊
Thanks for sharing, Danielle! xo
You used to be able to lose (not loose) three pounds a day before menopause? Three pounds of what? Sterling? You lost water, not fat.
Yes!👍
Thanks for sharing, I have recently found your channel while searching for How to pack for 10 days vacation and I got hooked, then I watched your video this morning about How to hide menopausal tummy, and Im like, what does she know about menopause? Girl!!! I thought you were only between 28-32 yrs old!! You look amazing! And I Love your videos, after watching 2 videos, I subscribed. Im 47 and the struggle is real. Finally got an appointment with an endocrinologist, My labs are normal but my primary said that, the endocrinologist see things that that other doctors dont see, and maybe I will find why I gain weight when I smell food 😂 I lost 25 lbs doing HIIT workout and KETO, but I didnt enjoy it. I gaines back 10 lbs after a work contract ended and I really loved that job, workplace and people that I worked with. I work out 5 days a week strength training. May I’ll give Tracy Anderson a try coz I like getting into a meditative state when excercising.
Again Thank you.
Erin,
You hit so many things for me in this video. Thank you!!!
Thanks so much for your transparency! You look glowy & amazing! At almost 46, my weight has been up & down since starting to have my children in my 20's. I was finally at a great weight, but got pregnant with twins at 35. My weight spiraled back out of control again for years. I then lost the weight when my doctor told me I was prediabetic. I was fitting into all my pre pregnancy clothes and felt great! Then lo & behold the stresses of life took over & 4 years later I started to put the weight back on. I gained even more being on quarantine. I'm so embarrassed that I am back to the weight I was 6 years ago. I need to lose 25 lbs. At 5'8, people can't really tell how much I weigh due to my height & long limbs. But, I know the difference in how my clothes fit me. I do have signs of menopause going on, and my body does not respond like it used to to the things that once made me lose weight. Intermittent fasting was effective, but caused my blood pressure to spike for whatever reason??? I have to find the motivation again from within. You have inspired me to try again. Thank you! ❤
You got this! I'm so glad that this helped inspire you. It's not easy! xo
I was stuck in perimenopause for so long! I would have a period every few months for years and years and then for 4 years in a row I would have a period once every 11 months! I was getting bigger and bigger and more and more tired. But 2 years ago I finally made it through and then I dropped all the weight gain. A lot of hiking and clean eating. If anyone is stuck, I promise you will make it through
So frustrating, Catherine! Glad you made it through! xo
So there is a light at the end of the tunnel....thank you...
My perimenopause dragged out soooo long. I was 56 before I was done! It wreaked havoc on my body!
What can be done during perimenopause to avoid the gain? anything!?
Well done you!!!! Xx
I happened to stumble on your channel while I was searching for menopause-related vids. Thanks so much for posting videos on menopause issues, especially weight gain/slow loss! I was taking birth control for many years to regulate my cycles. About three years ago, at the age of 46, I discontinued them to see if my chronic digestive issues improved. I had one cycle immediately after discontinuing them and never had another one after that. So, surprise...you're in menopause! Side note, it didn't help my digestion issues by discontinuing the bc. Anyway...I've watched two of your videos on this topic. I've been feeling so down lately, because I have to work soooo hard at weight loss. I feel like it consumes my life and then I get fed up and go off the deep end into food! Anyway, your videos have encouraged me to keep plugging along. Thanks again!
Thank you so much, this had shed so much light on why my usual methods are not working. Menopause and the effects on personal body image is not discussed enough. 😊
When you are small, I’m 5’3” 15 lbs is a couple of pants sizes. I want to put something on the radar. I am 45 and had to have a complete hysterectomy at 32 so I’ve been in menopause for a long time. Have your testosterone levels run too. It’s such a game changer. My first symptoms when I am low are low energy, wI feel like I can recover from my workouts. My muscles are just sore and tired all the time. Women need testosterone too and most of us are low. Thanks for the information. I love your channel. ❤️
Thank you so much, Eraleigh! I completely agree! It's so important to get all of your levels tested in order to get a clear picture of what is truly going on. xo
Dearest Erin! Thank you for sharing from your heart once again! Like you, I’m petite and all my life at only 5’ I weighed 104-106 and now w menopause I battle 112 and while that seems so little for some people, on a five foot frame and most of it centered on my belly, it feels lousy. I tried a vegan diet but it was just too strict and I was spending literally hours preparing the food so I really appreciate how you’ve incorporated shrimp, fish and eggs with the plant based diet! I hike an hour each day but belly fat not budging but I happen to have Tracy Anderson dvd ( unopened😆)and am going to pull that baby out! I did go on bioidentical estradiol patch and progesterone and feel so much better but your diet and exercise suggestions sound so positive and doable! Feeling and looking good go hand in hand - THANK YOU so much💕💕💕💕
Thank you for sharing, Sheryl! It can be so frustrating. I also tried a vegan diet for a bit, but found it too restrictive. Try the Tracy Anderson DVD. I think you will enjoy it. xo
Same here minus the menopause lol .same height and weight range as you . Since quarantine I have gained about 5lbs but it makes me feel yucky .5lbs is a lot on our size body . I can’t wait for the gyms to reopen .
Thank you for this video! Much of what you suggest my ND's put me on and continue to manage and regulate. My menopause started in my early 50's. From Bio-identical hormones to supplements and meds for my Hypothyroidism as well as diet. Which is still low carb low suger but more protein. I have never really suffered through menopause much because these protocols circumvented many if not all the side effects of menopause. My MD's and unfortunately most, do not speicalize in these protocols. I am almost 70 now and look like I am still 50. This is not something you just do for weight control but for a better qualitiy of life and longivity. And you dont just do it until you lose the weight this is for the rest of your life. Love your videos, keep up the great work! And best of luck with your channel and biz!
Thank you SO much for sharing your experience! A lot of great info! xo
Thank you so much for sharing this. I’m 46 and in the last 6 months I’ve gained 3kg. I put it down to Peri-M! I’ve felt so sad to see fat rolls on my tummy for the first time in my life! You’ve given me hope and direction. Thank you so much! I’m going to try your “route” and see if it works for me! I hope your success continues.
Ty! I have been going through the exact same thing. Weighed 105 most of my adult life, never stopped being very active. Then wham menopause. 15 pounds more. Nothing I do seems to work. Not even I.f., keto, hiit, power walking, etc. I work out every day and no definition or weight loss. And so frustrating to be told "calories in - calories expended" over and over again. Argh. Will be trying your tips.
You are so welcome! It really is so frustrating! xo
Busbee Style This happened to me as well. I gained about 5lbs all on my tummy area and nothing worked, Them I decided to try each diet for one month to see what worked. I eat Vegan food except once a month when I have red meat. Make a long story short, what worked for me was cutting starch. I eat fruit, vegetable, nut, healthy fat on regular basis. Have dark chocolate or chia pudding made with almond yogurt and limit alcohol consumption by to a few times a month. I also have been doing intermittent fasting and that has been amazing, it reduced your “grazing times” :-). So in short, see what works for you. my husband is on a completely different food choices and he is very slim, so listen to your body and you will be in a good place.
Loo Loo, I suggest start with checking your hormones. They play a huge role in weight gain/loss during menopause. Once you figure it out, you can work on your diet and exercise. For me, after 2 years of not being able to lose anything, once I started going to a nathuropat and adding a low carb high fat diet and exercise, it really helped. I am now where I used to be before menopause, at 114-115 lbs. I also recommend Dr. Mindy Pelz. You can find her on UA-cam, she is great and helping women in menopause/perimenopause.
I'm like you ladies. Never had an issue my entire life. I hit 49 and weigh started pounding on. I'm stuck at 137 now which I haven't been since I was pregnant with my daughter. It's an awful feeling. I feel disgusting and depressed. This quarantine eating doesnt help.
Work out your body type, look at egg fast, you need to get into ketosis
Omg I am literally you!! You rock!! Going to look into Anderson's videos.... ❤️❤️🙏🏻
Thank you, Lisa! xo
Thank you!!!! It's so wonderful to find that other people are going through this, not that I would want anyone to. I've not had a weight problem before, and it is maddening to see the changes in my body. I appreciate a channel where it's okay to say hey I want to be thin and small again!
I’m so glad you found this helpful, Melanie! It is so frustrating!! I can certainly relate! xo
I just found your channel and it’s amazing! Thank you for showing us your real self!! Feeling hopeless in my menopause belly is so hard!! Thank you for giving me hope!!
Yeah, it's so frustrating at menopause when you lose the body you've always known. So glad you found a routine that works for you!
Yes, it really is frustrating! Thank you! xo
I love that you showed that you are bow-legged - that was so sweet and helpful!
Thank you so much for sharing! I’m going through peri menopause since I was 44.(46 now), and struggled so much with becoming slimmer and less bloated. It took me 2 years to finally find out what exactly was going on with my body. I’m now on a journey to shred those kilos and with your tips Its like I’m getting a headstart.
Thank you so much and I will definitely continue watching your videos .
Sending my love and appreciation from Melbourne,Australia.
Thank you so much Erin for you knowledge and your act of kindness in reaching out to truly help others!
Hi Erin.
I'm 62 and have struggled with my weight since going through menopause at age 49! Like you I have hypothyroidism but since the age of 32, so it feels like everything is against me! BUT I am going to change up a few things like you have and see if it helps me, as calorie counting and miles and miles of walking are getting me nowhere. Thanks for your videos, always look forward to them. Keep safe, hugs from Scotland UK.
I was right there with you. I am 61, and since I turned 60, I’ve lost 35 pounds of the 50 I put on due to menopause and health problems. I recognize at my age, I will never be rail thin again, and it’s okay. A little weight helps fill in the facial wrinkles a lot better than any kind of facial work. I look good to me, and that’s the only thing that matters. I have done Keto, WW, the pink drink, high injections, and so many other plans. Nothing worked for me until at age 60, I started Fitness with Lindsay.com. My diet is not as strict as the one Erin’s done. FWL has more protein in it so I feel full, never crazy hungry. I can stay on this diet for the rest of my life, and I do get ice cream, Chilly Cow or Halo-each has a lot of protein, so it helps me meet my protein goal. My husband has lost 20 pounds with a few tweaks to his diet. There are many diet paths, and you might have to try different plans to find the right path for you. Don’t give up!
You are so welcome, Wendy! I'm glad that you found it helpful! xo
Im with you-I walked 3 miles a day briskly during 3 mos. of quarantine-lost nothing!!! I am Hypo-over 50 and it is just packing on.
jillf24 Same! I keep walking bc I know it’s still good for me, but doesn’t budge the scale. Menopause and hypothyroidism is a wicked combination. Ugh😔
I'm the same age, same thyroid issue. Check out Valter Longo Longevity Diet. He was studying longevity but came up with a way to eat for weight and health maintenance. He is here on youtube, watch a few and you will understand.
Erin yes thank you for validating. I also could lose weight in my 20s and 30s I have been 125lbs 5,9 and athletic my whole life and now I my 50s and in menopause it is a different and difficult battle and frustrating.
You have hit the nail on the head! It is so much harder! Thank you so much for putting this into perspective as we as woman need each other, in this particular time of life it is a different. challenge. Thank you again !! ❤💪
You are so welcome, Britt! xo
I really appreciate all the info you shared with us, I'm inspired! Congratulation on your weight loss and great conditioning!!!
Hi Erin,
This advice has been amazing! I’ve lost another seven pounds with your help & the Tracey workouts! I’m taking the same meds but have still managed to lose weight with your help and advice! 22lbs in total since December! Please do more videos in this subject & building confidence with your business! Just need to try to be 100% plant based and bad sugar free! Every time I wobble I just replay your video! Thank you!!!!! Kirsty x
Wonderful! Great job, Kirsty! You got this! xo
Erin, I love this video! It is extremely informative. You look gorgeous, as always. I know firsthand how much a 10 pound weight gain can impact a small frame. 💕😊💗
Thank you so much, Jessica! xo
I love the Tracy Anderson workouts after a month, I am finally seeing results my legs look thinner and my shoulders have definition. Ive been doing the intermediate every other day and the multitask workout in between, I'd say I work out 5 days a week, instead of everyday. Everyday, as suggested by the TA method seems really hard for me. I'm not doing the dance cardio mainly because the intermediate is so hard and I'm sweating and panting so it feels like it's enough. I haven't gotten to advanced and wondering how often you do the advanced and how long it took you to get there. I am still stopping my intermediate videos every 10 min to catch up my breath. Im not sure when to transition to advanced. I do want faster results of course but even 6 days doing intermediate all the way through feels like a lot for my body...and I'm 34.
Thank you for making this honest and important video Erin. I just came across your channel and have become a subscriber because I appreciate the topics that you choose to speak about and I like your sense of style, ( I find your honesty refreshing too!) I look forward to watching more of your videos.
Welcome, Catherine! I'm so glad that you like my videos. xo
Erin, I was beginning to feel so overwhelmed with everything I was reading about various ways to deal with belly fat and the perimenopause. I'm 46, in perimenopause, have been on Estrogel and oral progesterone for 1 year. I have never had to worry about weight and always had a balanced diet and used to be a fitness instructor. Diagnosed Coeliac for 10 years so diet is under even more scrutiny. BUT I have put on so much weight round my belly, thighs and upper arms and I cannot shift it, part of the issue is I experience poor sleep, low energy levels and joint aches and pains, so exercising regularly is proving very difficult. I am devastated as I cannot fit in most of my jeans and clothing. I hate my health and my body. I have stumbled across your video and I am going to watch your others and try and adopt what you have done, you are an inspiration and your photos are the evidence I have to see it works. Here goes!!
You’re not only an amazing communicator but so adorable humble honest woman. Inspiring and refreshing... And of corse gorgeous, but you already knew that lol. Love & blessings
Thank you so much...You are so incredibly sweet! xo
Well done, Erin. You should be so proud. I think it’s so upsetting when you invest in lovely clothes and then this awful thing happens in spite of your best efforts. I was on keto for 7 years and was size Uk8. Then menopause arrived and a sturdy Uk12 in spite of exercise, low carb, and intermittent fasting and zero sugars. It is a battle. I don’t even want to be size Uk8, a Uk10 would be the goal. xx
Thank you so much, Anna! xo
You could to check intermitent fasting videos on youtube. Best of luck.
I'm in a similar boat. Keto for 4.5 years, but now menopausal, and it's harder to keep the weight off. I think I'm eating too much fat and keto treats. Thinking it'll be easier once corona has passed and my family isn't home as much. I really do enjoy cooking for them, but then I also want to eat the stuff I make.
Neato Keto Agree. Cooking for the masses doesn’t help! I find intermittent fasting the only way to be honest and a 16 hour fast at that. Dinner same as the family but without the carbs. Still not falling off though more like putting weight gain on pause. x
Oh sweety! I can see this is not only personal but that you care for others. That's so awesome. I just turned 60 in January and had my last period at 57/9 months. I'm 5"2 110 lbs, but normal weight is 105 (130 when I had my kids). Guess where that extra 5 lbs is at? Yup, my tummy. I know people would read this, and even my friends are saying, "what the ____ is she talking about?," but I don't feel good in my clothes, I don't look good in my clothes and no matter what I do, I can't seem to lose it which has brought me to your channel. Some of what you're doing, I'm already doing and I totally go the natural route in my whole lifestyle (never have I taken prescription or over the counter drugs) which I attribute to my overall impeccable health, so I'm going to try some of what you're doing that I'm not and tweak it a bit for my unique body. Thank you so much for your channel. I have followed you over the years because of your style, then unsubscribed for some reason, but I'm back! Be blessed and thank you for all you do for women. YOU INSPIRE US!
Erin, I just found you today and I think you are absolutely stunning and your tips are very helpful! I've subscribed to your channel on youtube and started following you on instagram and I think you are going to be a tremendous help for me and my lifestyle! Thank you so much for the work you do and the inspiring messages and content! Much love to you!
Wow you look amazing! I have to admit, after changing my diet, exercise, and still no results I gave up! I don’t recognize myself anymore when I look in the mirror. Whose body is that?! Thank you for this video. It makes me reconsider my decision to give up and find another way to feel like myself again.
I know exactly how you feel, but let’s get back at it. We deserve better.
Momoneymoproblems Keep trying. Find the plan that works for you. Since 18 months ago, I’ve lost 35 on FitnesswithLindsay.com. She’s a fitness coach, I honestly have never been cranky-hungry. I get plenty to eat.
Momoneymoproblems dont give up,,,you’ll figure it out,,,you will! Feeling like yourself and how happy that will make you is worth it. Good Luck!!!!! Hah,,,I have to edit and say,,,,maybe “happy” is the wrong word,,,,but “content and at peace” is maybe better. When you feel good with who you are health wise and the positive effect on your mood,,,,that removes so much noise and frustration and negative self-talk. Totally worth the effort,,,,and you are worth the effort. 😊
I am a hourglass ⌛ so I will never be thin like Erin, so remember that body's are different shape and will have different results. Don't beat yourself up to looks like she!
Thank you! It's hard to figure out what works and it differs so much by the individual. Good luck. xo
I needed to see this! I'm going through this now! Thank you so much!
You are so welcome, Eileen! xo
Thank you for sharing your weight loss story, Erin! I'm 54 and going through a bizarre menopause, myself. The Tracey Anderson videos sound like the thing for me!! I really enjoy all your videos and appreciate the suggestions and advice. I'm ready to drop some major weight because I'm tired of my huge gut!!
You're So welcome, Vickie! Glad this was helpful. Tracy Anderson has been a game changer for me. xo
I watch this video for my mom and trying to get as much information to help her. Such a lovely video :) Thank you!
It feels nice to not feel alone while going through this.
So many of us are going through something similar...you are not alone! xo
You're such an inspiring and genuine person. Thank you for this video. It gave me hope that I can still loose weight and feel myself again :)
You got this! Glad you found this helpful! xo
Thanks for being so brave to share your journey. I "let myself go" in my late 30s (gave up caring how I looked) due to a relationship that wasn't in my best interest, but menopause is pushing me to take back my life at age 49. I've been running for a few years now and getting my diet straight. I still have 20 pounds to go, but I'm feeling that old spark again. Your tips just might get me the rest of the way there. Bless you!
That's amazing! You got this! SO glad this was helpful! xo
Thank you so much for being vulnerable and sharing all you could. It’s very helpful.
