Good luck Lynn, i've been doing intermittent fasting on and off for a while, it does work, i start eating about 11.00am and finish at 6.00pm, it becomes a habit and makes you feel a lot better ❤
Hi Lynn intermittent fasting does work I have now gone back to it as I had a TIA about 5weeks ago,I have an MRI appointment on the 27th to see what caused it as nothing is showing on a CT scan,the main cause of it up to now was my blood pressure as it was really high medication has brought it down and I feel great.I now need to push myself with more exercise as well as fasting.Take care hope all is well with you xx❤❤
I’m so sorry to hear that June, it’s scary isn’t it. Hopefully the MRI will not show anything and it was down to your BP. That’s the best outcome you could wish for. We need to take control of our health don’t we, and I’m enjoying the IF, it’s working for me and I’m finding it easy. We can all motivate each other on here, that’s the lovely thing about this community that’s built up, everyone is so supportive ❤️❤️❤️
Morning Lynn, how are you? I just have to tell you that after a week of intermittent fasting I have lost 3lb 🥳🥁That is the biggest weekly weight loss I’ve had, it’s usually 1lb. So thank you once again and I hope you have a great week. ❤x
Hi Susan, I’m good thank you. Wow that’s fabulous Susan, 3lb, I did my weigh in yesterday and I will reveal my loss or not as the case may be on Sunday. I love this new regime, it suits me to a T. Oh I’m so chuffed for you Susan, keep going and have a good week yourself ❤️❤️❤️
HI Lynn, since my hubby had his heart problem and myself having hereditary high BP our whole eating habits have changed. I have cut out most sugar products, biscuits, sugar in tea and coffee (really hard). I make all sauces, nothing out of jars, oils, NO processed food. I am 68, never been over weight but the thought of a stroke drives me on. Slowly my sugar twinges are going. Very occasional does not hurt. Every body is different and our metabolisms are not the same. I walk a lot and squats and since sugar leaves my body it has become easier to keep fit. Whatever suits you Lynn but watch what you take into your body. Inspiring, thanks for sharing xxx❤❤❤
Hi Tina, we are the same age, and I think we start to rethink our habits. The way things are with the NHS we really do have to help ourselves don’t we. I’ll find my way for sure thank you ❤️❤️❤️
Hi Lynn, thanks for this video, it’s given me the push that I need to stop lying to myself and take charge of my overeating habits, I find myself saying “ what can I eat “ as soon as I sit down on the settee in the evening to watch tv, and I’ve only just finished my dinner for goodness sake!!! That’s my danger time, snacking, it’s a really hard habit to break. Of course it’s not just the amount you eat and when, but it’s what food you eat too. So, I’m going on this journey with you and I’m really going to try. So I wish us all good luck, and good health. Bye for now, love Sandra. Xx
I was the same Sandra, it becomes a way of life, and it’s so hard not to do it. I can tell you in all honesty that now that I’ve stopped, I’m not missing them, I haven’t had any biscuits these last 2 nights at all. And it’s not bothering me. If we do it together it will spur us on, we can motivate each other to get where we need to be, I’m always here if you need some support. Lots of love ❤️❤️❤️
Hi Lynn. You’re doing amazing with your IF. I’ve been doing it for over 7 years and stay at the same weight. It’s easy once you’re used to it. It’s hard to stop eating treats especially coming up to Christmas but I believe that if you deny yourself everything you just crave it more and feel totally miserable so an odd treat is fine. Have a lovely day. ❤💕💕
Hi Sandra, 7 years, wow, that’s a definite lifestyle change for you. I hope I can manage that, I’m doing fine up to now. I haven’t had a biscuit now for 4 days, but I’m not denying myself forever, just to kick start me on my journey, and I intend to enjoy Christmas as well. I agree about the odd treat, it’s not going to kill us is it lol ❤️❤️❤️
Hi Lynn, I've been intermittent fasting for year's!!! LOVE LOVE ❤️ IT !!! THE TRICK FOR ME WAS TOO BE FLEXIBLE WITH IT!!! APPLE AND PEANUT BUTTER REPLACED BISCUITS FOR ME ❤❤ LOOK FORWARD TO FOLLOWING YOUR ADVENTURE 😊🙏
Ooooo Sharon, I might try the apple and peanut butter, someone also said banana and peanut butter. Sounds delicious, I just thought it was bad for you ❤️❤️❤️ I’ve had my weigh in this morning, took a photo to show next Sunday….i won’t spoil the results lol ❤️❤️❤️
@@Nanna-MIt is delicious Lynn banana works as well, Dr Mindy pelz recommends it to curb your sweet tooth it works great for me!!!! Can't wait for your weigh in just know it's going to be good, fasting is a way of life for me, it's so easy once you get the hang of it, have a fabulous week 😊 🙏❤
Hi Lynn, this video was so interesting and honest. Like you I’m 5ft 1 and 8 years ago I weighed 10 stone 2 pounds. I was uncomfortable and my clothes didn’t fit. I thought there is no way I’m buying a bigger size. I cut out all the rubbish and eat smaller portions. I got down to 8 stone 5 pounds and I’ve kept to that weight ever since. We have two dogs and walk them on average 5 miles a day which helps enormously. Something my husband and I really enjoy. Good luck with your journey Lynn, you can do it. Looking forward to Sundays video. ❤️
Wow Jill, I hope I can get down to that eventually, you must feel so much better. If I can get my leg sorted out, I will walk for sure. Thank you for the faith, I appreciate it very much ❤️❤️❤️
Hi Lynn don’t know how I missed this fabulous video it was way down in my play list. Fantastic I’m in with you and all the other lovely subscribers who are struggling. I ran a weight loss group for 27 years managed to keep my weight under control cause it was the motivation of getting weighed in Front of people that kept me going. I stopped smoking 7 years ago ready for my premature twin grandchildren arriving. Didn’t want any smoke near them from my clothes etc. and the weight started creeping on my belly is like I’m 7 months pregnant Since I retired 3 years ago well what can I say. I’m like a telly tubby. So there you all have it I’m on this journey. Good luck to everyone and Lynn my god you are an inspiration to us all and thank you And if you do crave a biscuit have one and get straight back on Sometimes depriving yourself makes it worse.
Oh Pam, it’s like you are describing me to a T. All my life I’ve been slim, and then giving up smoking, retiring, pigging out and not moving enough just piled it on. I’m so happy that my story resonated with you and your joining me on this journey, as you say, once you put it out there it most definitely helps to stay on track, I don’t want to let any of you ladies down as well as myself so here goes, get on this train with me, and we’ll smash it together. We can do it. If I feel like a biscuit, I will have a couple, just not the packet hahaha 🤣❤️❤️❤️
@@Nanna-M yes Lynn let’s smash it. I’m starting tomorrow. Already feel good. lol cause I’ve decided to do something. I have been doing some exercises for a couple of weeks and that has made me feel better. So I shall have an eating window of 11 am to 7 pm is that right. lol god help me. Thanks Lynn here we go 😂❤
Well done Lynn for explaining the IF process so well and being so encouraging. I'm sure you've given lots of us something to think about and try to have a go at. It's so important to spread the healthy lifestyle message. ❤
Well done Lynn, you have made a great start to this eating plan. I have been doing exactly the same thing as yourself and have managed to break through the 10 stone barrier although it has taken 5 weeks. I really think so much of which foods we need or want is in our head, I completely agree with you about closing the 7.0pm window is just so easy once you start. Look forward to following your progress.
Wow Bronwen, that’s my first goal, to break that barrier, I’m determined, and that will spur me on to do the rest. Thank you so much, and well done ❤️❤️❤️
You are doing really well Lynn, you definitely get in a rhythm with it. It really suits me. I’ve stayed the same weight wise the last week, but it feels like my shape is changing. I also feel like it’s something you could do forever xx
Hi Julie, I’m going to weigh myself on Sunday, I can tell my body has changed in 2 weeks, I have more room in my pants, and it sounds silly but my rings are spinning round my fingers lol. I’m definitely in a rhythm, and the longer I do it, the easier it is, thanks for the inspiration to get me started. 3 of a kind gave me the kick up the bum xx
Good luck Lynn You’ll be just fine and I’m certain you’ll succeed I’ve been doing it the best part of the year,having said that like a lot of people including yourself,I don’t enjoy breakfast so I’m more than happy to start eating at lunchtime.Sometimes I fall off the wagon but I soon give myself a talking to and start again. Evenings are my worst time as like you I can open that cupboard and pick pick pick. Do what feels right for you as some people will always try to tell you what you’re doing wrong,but your an intelligent woman and I’m sure you know exactly what you need to do so just do it your way❤
Hi Lynn - intermittent fasting does work. I was doing it earlier in the year and steadily losing weight, having more energy and feeling more healthy and less tired. When I went on holiday in June I stopped it and have never got back to it. The weight has piled on again and I am back to being tired and lethargic. After watching your video you have inspired me to recommence it and I am going g to start from Monday. Eliz
That’s the thing, we stop for some reason, and find it so hard to restart, join all the ladies on here and we can motivate each other, we can do this Eliz ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Morning Lynn…I shall definitely be with you on this journey. I don’t eat before 12 but I do have a morning cappuccino, didn’t realise that was wrong 😱 . Snacking is my problem too I have a cupboard full for when my children and Grandchildren come round, they dive into it the problem is so do I !, . Looking at the weight and height charts my weight would be spot on if I was 6ft.4in so I either need stretching or follow you which I shall try to do now ….it will be a lot less painful! 😂 Thanks for the inspiration.🌺xx
Thank you Lynn. I started the intermittent fasting about 10 days ago when you mentioned it during a video. I have found it pretty easy so far. I particularly feel the 7pm cut off has to help as I am not going to bed with a lot in my tummy... the snacking after dinner was becoming a real problem...not anymore. Good luck to both of us on this journey.
It’s good to hear you are making changes. Can I offer the suggestion of investigating ultra processed foods, look up Chris Van Tulken as a start. Once you realise what is actually in most of the food you buy you should loose the desire to eat it. Since cutting out the UPF foods and eating proper food , and I thought I was eating quite healthy, the excess weight disappeared without effort and I dropped two dress sizes. The health benefits have been amazing. I am coming up to 72 and enjoying being back to a healthy weight.
Hi Lynne, thank you. Of course, any advice is more than welcome. I will look them up for sure, I do eat a lot of fresh food, but there are things in my cupboard that are processed, like tinned peas, etc. I am getting very interested in what’s actually in these foods, and I will definitely try and find an alternative if possible. I can’t do everything all at once, because my husband has to have the things that he likes, but I don’t need to eat them. I’m really happy for you, you must be very proud of yourself. ❤️❤️❤️
Good luck everyone. Intermittent fasting's great. It soon becomes a way of life. Listening to you talking about your weight when you were younger Lynn makes me realise I'm something of an oddity because I weighed 11 stone at 18 and I still do pushing 70 (I'm 5'6"). It was tough back in the day when fashionable clothes only went up to size 12 but now I feel pretty chuffed lol!
On behalf of everyone, thank you very much. That must be the ideal weight for you, and you are 5” taller so you probably carry it well, it doesn’t look so good on little old me lol ❤️❤️❤️
I've tried intermittent fasting and the 5:2 diet in the past and they both work really well. I'm of a similar age and height as you and I weigh 10st 8lb so I'm going to join you Lynn and pass that 10st barrier! Thanks for inspiring me. 😊 Good luck to everyone who's going to come along for the ride.❤
Brilliant Sue, I’m sure that together we’ll get through that 10st barrier, we know it works so it’s just a case of motivating each other to keep going, well done it ❤️❤️❤️
All the very best with your fasting journey, Lynn. It’s best if you don’t have the temptations in your cupboards. But it won’t work if you feel like you are depriving yourself of things you enjoy. ❤❤
I can’t deprive Harvey just because I don’t want them, it wouldn’t be fair he loves his biscuits, and never puts weight on, he’s like his Dad for that. I just need self control lol, and truthfully I haven’t had a single biscuit for 2 days, this will be my 3rd if I can manage it. But if I feel like one I will not deprive myself of no more than 2 lol ❤️❤️❤️
Hi Lynn. I just started fasting a few days ago so far everything is go fine. I just came across your channel it's like having a Weight loss, buddy. I 'am Scottish. I live in Ontario Canada 🇨🇦
Will join you on this Lynn. I did try last year when Maree did it but needed my cup of tea in a morning. Lately I have been eating too much bread as it’s so easy to just make a sandwich when you are on your own
yes I know what you mean Tina, but you can have one as long as it’s in your eating window. I’m glad you’re joining me Tina, but I think I’ll have a day off when we meet up. xx
Hi Lynn good on you for sticking to it. I'm sure you will succeed. I don't eat before 11am, l just like it that way. I am very thin and my husband keeps saying l need to eat more and put weight on. I am fine I've had health checks all good. Good luck Lynn. Take care. ❤❤
I never usually eat in the morning anyway, my problems were snacking at night. Your weight must be right for you, if you are slight build, then enjoy it, clothes will look fabulous on your trim figure ❤️❤️❤️
Hi Lynn ,I think this is a good way to get healthy and feel better and more comfortable, it's the middle age stomach fat I struggle with. ,I will definitely try the longer fasting window. Thank you. X❤❤
I think so too Susan, I feel like I’ve reached that age when things go belly up hahaha so I need to get control of anything that I can, much love Susan ❤️❤️❤️
Hello Lynn, what a great video - thank you. I for one will be joining in with you. I am 70 and really need to get a grip with my sugar cravings, I eat far too much. You've given me the push I need and with Christmas round the corner I will be using that as a my first "marker" so to speak. Good luck to you and to everyone else who joins in ❤
Aw that’s good news indeed, the more the merrier, I think it helps so much when you’re not on your own. We can do this together, I haven’t had a biscuit for 2 days, I’m so chuffed with myself. That’s not to say I never will, but whilst I’m not craving I’m taking adavantage, lol. ❤️❤️❤️
Hi Lynn, I wish you ever success with your new way of eating I’m sure you will soon get to the weight you wish to be. Since I was so poorly last year I lost so much weight so after years of dieting I don’t need to anymore.🎉😂 I have shingles at the moment but can enjoy sitting knitting and watching UA-cam. Lots of love from Joy ❤❤xxx
Hi Joy, I hope so. You poor woman, I know what shingles are like, I do hope you are not in too much pain lovely lady, and I hope they leave you soon. Much love, I won’t hug you cause it would hurt ❤️❤️❤️
I’ve just started doing the fasting too. I stop at 6pm and don’t eat and only black tea and water until 12 noon the next day. I have the same problem with weight. I hover between 10st 1 and 10 st 7. Can’t get below the 10. Hopefully this will help. I also try to stick to low carb in my eating window which should help with the diabetes. 😩 I have couple of squares of chocolate after my tea. This is my treat for the day. I think we all need a little treat.
Jane, I’m sure it will come off even if it’s slowly, I’m sorry that you have diabetes, I hope you’ve discussed the fasting with your nurse, I’m worried that you may need some form of food because of your diabetes. we all need a treat don’t we, mines 3 biscuits albeit plain ones, it’s enough for me ❤️❤️❤️
@ Yes I had a call with her last week to discuss my annual health review results. She knows I don’t eat breakfast and only have between 50-60g of carbs a day. I’ve been using this approach since last January and I’ve finally reached my targets on all health markers. The fasting is a new thing I wanted to add in to try and lose the last few pounds. Thankyou for showing concern for me though Lynn x
❤ I’m also on a get healthy train. I haven’t actually set a timed intermittent fasting schedule but I do fast everyday,if that makes sense. Good luck to us all!
Good for you Lynn. This year ive had a terrible time with IBS. Ive cut out all wheat, dairy & sugar products, & im also doing intermittent fasting. 9-5 is my eating window. Im a morning person, so that works for me. Ive done this before when i had really bad arthritis & couldnt operate the clutch in my car. As a result of this i lost 2 stone & no longer had arthritis. I hope it works as well this time. Good luck to you. Keep going, its so worth it. X
Hi Lynne, enjoyed this vid and so looking forward to seeing your what you are eating I really need to lose weight as I am very overweight and I am diabetic as well. Looking forward to Sundays vid. Take care Lynne.
Hi Lynn, I used to do intermittent fasting and did lose weight but I've put it back on. Your video has spurred me on to go back to it. Good luck to you and good luck to me 😊 x
Really enjoyed this Lynn. Adopting time restricted eating is one of the best things I’ve ever done for myself. Looking forward to following your story! ❤️
Well done Lynn, I'm enjoying intermittent fasting. Its all about changing habits or starting new healthier ones for me. Easier said than done though. I've stopped my evening snacking though. Yay!
Good Luck Lynn I hope you’re successful with your eating program. Your son is very kind to treat you to your wellness visit. I had to cut out sugar because of a health reason and lost two stone, it came off slowly and I then realised my clothes were getting loose. Going back years we didn’t eat in between meals and stayed a decent weight so that may help others. Thanks for sharing this I’m sure you will have some viewers who will join in good luck ❤
Thank you Carol, I haven’t had sugar in my tea for years, but I like my biscuits lol, and cake, that’s my downfall, but I have to say, just allowing myself 3 per night is working, very plain ones but it’s my treat. Quite a few ladies are joining me so I’m not alone on this journey ❤️❤️❤️
Hi Lynn, you are doing amazing! You are right, your body changes as you get older and shifting the weight gets harder, keep up the good work, you look fabulous ❤❤❤
Thank you so much Lynn for yet another honest video ❤ I’m 75 , 14’7. and 5ft3 . So far I’ve lost 3’11lb the mounjaro injection which I’ve purchased myself. It is insanely expensive but the waiting list on the nhs is so long that I decided to take the plunge. However I need to stop taking it soon and need something to keep me going on my journey and also not regain !! SO I’m in . I’m going to join you on this and give it a go. I’m no longer pre diabetic but stil have other health issues that will benefit from weight loss. Upwards on onwards, here we go. ❤👍🏻
Hi Susan, you are so welcome. well done you, and if the Mounjaro has helped you to get the start that you needed I’m all for it Susan. I imagine that your stomach will have shrunk quite a bit, so you are pre set really for eating less, the art here is to not go back to the large portions, so let’s do it together Susan, we can do this…much love ❤️❤️❤️
Definitely will be following and getting ideas Lynn. I have a substantial amount to lose and have just been diagnosed diabetic so it’s really important for me. I follow you anyway as you know but I’m really keen to see your progress. Take care and I wish you well 💖
oh really Ann, well maybe you’ll get some inspiration for all us ladies that are taking on this new lifestyle. I know I’ve lost already, but I’m not weighing till Sunday even though I’m sorely tempted lol. Much love Ann ❤️❤️❤️
Good luck Lynn, I've always been obsessed with food. I just fancy sweet stuff only, which is not good especially with my high sugar levels. Take care x
I do agree with intermittent fasting and do it myself combined with exercise but I do believe in a little of what you fancy its all about portion control I think 😉 take care❤
I can relate to everything you say Lynn everything !! Can I just say you ALWAYS look lovely and to me you don’t look overweight in the slightest. You know your style and honestly Lynn you always look classy trendy and you xx but I know that we are never happy with ourselves and I think we know what we are happy with. I know I put weight on really easy and it’s flippin hard to get off !! Enjoy your bicci lots of love ❤❤ xxx
Shelly you are always so very kind and positive, your messages are always lovely to read. When my weight is up in the high 10st 11lbs mark, I feel terrible, 10st not too bad, but my BMI does say I’m overweight for my size, so I really do need to get this sorted. You are so right, the weight is really hard to shift, especially for me at my age, but I’m determined so I’ll do it. Much love to you Shelly, thank you for being you. ❤️❤️❤️
Hi Lynn I’ve tried the intermittent fasting a few times and it works. I started it when I saw Michael Moseley talk about it on tv. I can’t have biscuits, cake, crisps in the house because it calls to me from the cupboard to eat it! Christmas is a nightmare with all the goodies in the cupboard. Good luck with your fasting. I’m sure you’ll have lost a few pounds by the time you have your check up. Good luck ❤. Ps. Your tank top looks lovely, I bought one after seeing you in it and the hoodie. Xx
Aw thank you Mary, I have to have them in the house for Harvey, but it’s not bothering me at all for some reason lol, if it does bother me I’ll tell him to hide them. Everyone seems to say it’s worked for them when they’ve done it, so I’m sure it will for me too. I love the tank top, it’s so smart. ❤️❤️❤️
Hi Lynne, really enjoyed listening to you about the intermittent diet, what you said is me to a tee , you do make me smile when I listen to your shows . I’m looking forward to seeing how you get on. I think another shopping trip will be on the cards for you 😃 keep it up, I know you can do it.🥰x
Did it for 10 days lost 4 pounds went away stopped. Back home now starting again today. Thanks Lynne you have inspired me try again. I have to say l did find it easy after the first few days and I felt a lot better 😍😍
Hi lynn, I think you've done really well. I do the intermittent fasting too, it has really worked for me. My stomach has felt so much better. I don't eat after 7pm and not before 12 noon. Lovely video ❤ have a great weekend.
Oh Lynn that discipline sounds great but I have no will power. I have done the WW & S/World but lost weight only to put it all back on again even more. I feel comfortable as I am now. Thanks for sharing. Take care x
Good luck with your health journey Lynn. It’s not easy trying to beat the menopause as well as other issues along the way but alls we can do is try. And don’t forget to consider the non scale victories! We lose inches sometimes without so much as losing half a pound. Take care lovely and have a wonderful Weekend ❤️❤️ xx
Thank you Claire. Absolutely, we can only do our best, but up to now I’m doing fine with this IF. I’m only worried about the weight because of what the cardio consultant said to me, so if I can lose a bit, I’ll be a lot happier. I mean the inch loss would be a bonus, especially around the middle lol. Have a fabulous weekend with the lovely Autumn, take care ❤️❤️xx
Hi Lynn I will be joining u on your intermittent fasting journey just want to feel more comfortable in my clothes can feel trousers getting very snug at waist and just feel sluggish and the long evening don’t help me I am same snacking on biscuits and chocolate 🙈 think doing the fasting with u will keep me on track hopefully 😊
Hi Lynne. I started the IF/time restricted eating about 2 years ago, when I was a similar age to you. The reason mainly due to digestive issues. The weight loss of about 1.5 stone was a bonus. Im 71 now and extremely healthy and able to have treats., go on holiday etc and stll maintain. I do regular exercise, mainly walking. The role of insulin is very important in regulating body weight, its worth looking into that to get an understanding. Best of luck 🤞 xxx
Hi Marie, I’m an x nurse so quite well informed about the role of insulin, your experience with the IF is very inspiring, it’s always nice to hear success, it motivates us to keep going. I hope I can get to where you are eventually, I’m quite prepared to put the effort in, so fingers crossed I’ll get there. Thank you so much ❤️❤️❤️
Feel your pain Lynn! Like you have decided to get a grip on life and sort my diet out. Not just cutting down but eating healthier. Let’s worry about clothes being too big later but think I shall rise to the shopping challenge very well! Can’t wait! I think too many holidays have been a factor,,,not the food, I usually eat sensibly but it is all the sugar in the drinks! I know the answer is not to drink alcohol but that isn’t going to happen on holiday! At home I only drink one day a week! Let’s see how we go. Good luck!xxxxx Liz
Well good for you Elizabeth, I’ll look forward to the shopping if I manage to go down a bit haha, that’s the cherry on the cake so to speak. 😂 well the IF will go to pot if I go on holiday, but I’ll jump back on it as soon as I get home, and it will probably be the same at Christmas, but that won’t be every day, just now and again. Good luck to you too Liz, we can do this ❤️❤️❤️
Thanks for sharing your experience with us I’ll definitely look into this and have a go doing it as I’m five stone over weight so really need to do something about my weight thanks for being so helpful . My spinal surgery went well and I’m recovering well see you soon dear friend 🎉🎉❤❤
Tnx Lynn, my dad would never eat after his dinner at 6, he said you should go to bed hungry and after he ate his dinner he would would be thankful for his next meal 😂 I’ve started doing the same and I definitely feel better for it and I sleep better too, not good to go to bed on a full stomach ❤❤❤
Hi Lynn. Shall I tell you the problem. We kid ourselves that eating all this crap is okay. The easiest way to start is.... Don't have the bloody stuff in the house. Don't buy it. I'm 5'3 7st 11. 63 years. Don't accept that weight gain is menapausal or age. It's not. You're kidding yourself that 3 biscuits are better than 4. A treat is once a week. Not every day. You don't eat until you're full. I don't do that. I eat breakfast and dinner, befor6pm. The sugar buisness is lethal. You are changing your diet in a sensible way. I keep my weight stable because I have the knowledge. It's not rocket science. People are just making excuses all the time. I've done this myself. Good luck Lynn. If you haven't got it in the house you can't eat it. Xxxx
I tend to agree. Personally I don't have biscuits in the house routinely. My 'desert' is a yogurt. Sugar is addictive to me so once I've had a chocolate bar or a cake I just want more and more. That's not to say I don't build an occasional treat into my intermittent fasting routine but I'll just have it instead of a meal on that particular day.
This is absolutely right Lynn you really need to watch your sugar its the root of all evil, there is high amounts of sugar in so many things we eat and don't realise how badly it can affect your health and of course your weight, ditch them biscuits ❤
I agree I don’t buy biscuits etc if the grandchildren are coming round I buy them and send what they don’t eat home with them. I’ve lost 4 stone now still got a way to go but I dint think it’s the menopause that’s the cause it’s just overeating that’s done it.
I agree with you. Why buy biscuits , crisps etc and have them in the house. My grandchildren have yogurt or fruit if they come round and my only snack is fruit or a low calorie ice lolly. Once a week I have a treat out of the house. I don’t do intermittent fasting as like my breakfast before going to the gym. Good luck with your weight loss, interested to follow your progress.
Hi Lynn thanks for your update i will give it a go, I've pilled weight on since menopause I'm active but suffer from arthritis so can't do what i used to, everybody's different I'm 5ft 2 but I'm not a petite build i was 10 st 5lb and size 10 so sometimes the recommended weight for your height is rubbish, professional rugby players as classed as obese, so if you want a biscuit have a biscuit you do you and don't listen to some of yours commits your doing a great job well done xx
It’s worth a try Melanie, if you feel like you want to try and get a bit healthier. I have to say that I felt very uncomfortable at 10st 11lb, my tummy was large, my clothes didn’t look as nice, and I just didn’t feel good at all. The intermittent fasting has really worked for me, but as you say, if I want a little treat I will have one, I just haven’t really felt the need up to now. Thank you so much for your lovely comment Melanie, and good luck with your fasting ❤️❤️❤️
❤❤ good luck Lynne. I hope I’ll have the willpower to join you, I’ve just given up cigarettes about 5 months ago due to health reasons. I wish you and all your subscribers the very best of luck. ☘️ xx
Well done Lillian, giving up smoking is the hardest thing, but the very best thing I’ve ever done. I’m 10 years post smoking now, so well done to you for doing it, you must be so very proud of yourself for achieving that. Thank you ❤️❤️❤️
Hi Lynn you are so relatable I’m 5ft 2 and 10 stone 8 can’t seem to get under that but I’m going to try fasting but I will have to do it like when I gave up smoking I would push it back an hour each day start at 10 am then the next day 11am just gradual I feel that will be the way for me. Thank you for being so open about your lifestyle I also snack just habit good luck Lynn love your vlogs feel as if I’m in the company of a lovely friend 😘😘
Hi Lynn, wow you’re starting a movement! I think it is great what you are doing and grateful that you are sharing the journey. While you were talking I wondered about a couple of things. You mentioned IBS and introducing whole meal bread back into your diet. It may be an idea to but some fresh baker’s bread rather than ready sliced, as things are put into sliced packeted bread to keep it moist for longer. Freshly made baker’s bread may be better for you, even if it is frozen. Also I follow an American doctor’s UA-cam who seems to talk a lot of sense about eating/drinking and exercise even done in a chair etc. Also he is not selling anything unlike a lot of others! Recently he was talking about tea drinking (a special green tea) and other drinks with turmeric, garlic powder, lemon and honey etc. His name is Dr Alan Mandell. Channel name something like motivational.doc. Hope you progress and reach your goals.
Someone else said about the bread, I don’t eat very much of it at all, but I will either buy some fresh, or make some, I didn’t even look at the ingredients in the shop bought bread till last night, and I’m not eating anymore of it, the additives are off the scale. Thanks for sharing Hazel ❤️❤️❤️
I wish you all the best .I'm cutting out sugary snacks at home and eating more fruit between meals.I find it so hard as I'm an emotional eater but I'm on day four and hoping to keep going until Chrustmas .I am eating a treat if I'm out but having it as a pudding.I hope your results are good .x.
Well good for you Sian, we can do this, I haven’t had a biscuit for 2 days now, I’m hoping to keep that up at least till I’ve been for my follow up appointment. Fingers crossed lol ❤️❤️❤️
Lynn, I'm 75 years old & I believe in calanetics, if you could watch you tube & try doing some of those, you don't have to do them all , this reshapes your body, have a look @ this, hope it helps. I also do Zumba twice a week. Good luck , from me in Scotland x
Hi Lyn Yesterday my hubby and I attended are 1st class on diabetes the doctor said are sugar was slightly over the limit and if we didn’t do anything about it in a year or two we’d be type 2 diabetic. Have to say it was very interesting and very informative. We go twice a month till February then once a month till next September. Why till then ? they say records show that it take 9 months for people to change there ways and get used to a new way of eating. His first words were don’t go at it like bull in a china shop lol He said it’s not about cutting things out of your diet completely it’s choosing the lower sugar / less fat options they give you a little chart to keep in your bag so you can check the the % of things you must not go over. He told us to eat 3 times a day and try not to snack. They did weigh everyone so we’ll see in 2 weeks time how we get on. Good luck with your new eating plan . X❤
That’s interesting Wendy, what a good service for people. I just need to lose some quickly for the follow up appointment I have, but your Dr has talked about the most sensible approach if you can afford the time. Good luck with your new way of eating, let me know how you get on ❤️❤️❤️
Hi Lynn, i love eating biscuits as well, and need to stop, i bought a bag of frozen mixed fruit with strawberries, berries etc, and snack on that, I found it helps with my sweet tooth! Hugs from Australia ❤
I can relate to how and when you snack, I am a chocoholic plus I live in a retirement village where we have a very full social life with lots of desserts, cakes etc. Evenings are shocking as it is as you say, sitting down watching T V after dinner and then I need something sweet! For the next few weeks I am also not able to exercise as I gave gad a foot op and am sitting most of the day....I am 5ft 1inch and weigh about 72kg. (11 stone....) My weight has never been like this before. You have inspired me to do something - to say no to sugary foods! Thank you. ❤
Aw Diane, I know how you feel, it’s so hard when it’s all around you. Someone suggested to me to airfryer some assorted nuts and seeds, for a healthy snack, but then nuts are quite high in calories too, so you just don’t know what to do. I can say toy hand on heart, I’m not missing the snacking, and I’ve only been doing it for 2 weeks, it’s like giving yourself the eating window, gives you the strength you need, I just know not to eat after 6.30-7. I haven’t even had my 3 biscuits for the last 2 nights, it’s worth a try Diane, especially while your foot is sore and your not going to the social events, an ideal time to start. Good luck, you can do it ❤️❤️❤️
@Nanna-M thank you! Well done you! Being in a village I can still socialize as we have a big club room with a few functions happening and I am in a wheelchair. Good idea to close the eating window from 6-7pm. Thanks again. 😘
Hi Lynn another great video and very interested to see how you go on. Please can I ask what the gut food is you were talking about. I constantly feel bloated and think it might help me. I’m overweight too and just want to start feeling better about myself so anything that might help is very welcome. Thank you in advance and good luck x
Hi Susan, yes the gut feel is a supergreen supplement that you can add to any meal, like a stew or casserole, you can add it to yoghurt, drink it in some healthy juice etc. it’s a powder, and it works on your gut to feed it with good stuff. The company I use is called RHEAL, they have different supplements for different things, but the gut feel is the one for bloating and IBS. It’s worked wonders for me, I take a heaped teaspoon every day. I’ll give you the link to the website in case you want to check it out, www.google.com/aclk?sa=L&ai=DChcSEwip_NqWn-CJAxXyolAGHdf8BVUYABABGgJkZw&co=1&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIqfzalp_giQMV8qJQBh3X_AVVEAAYASAAEgLOUvD_BwE&sig=AOD64_0kAPHSSMdyGaSYmP4tW6o_gHye7Q&q&adurl&ved=2ahUKEwi4s9OWn-CJAxXEZ0EAHWEhAAQQ0Qx6BAgLEAE good luck if you try it ❤️❤️❤️
Morning Lynn thanks for letting us know about fasting I have the same problem with my weight and struggling with it I am going to go on my holiday and enjoy Christmas I am starting to healthy in the in new year ❤xx
Hi Lynn, really enjoyed this video. You have inspired me to give the intermittent fasting a proper go. I am a similar age and height as you and know I need to lose some weight. Looking forward to seeing your future videos. ❤ XX
Lynn I started doing IF 3 years ago I lost 8lb and I’ve kept if off. The first two weeks I was extremely tired. It did help with portion control and I don’t eat as much now. But I think I plateaued. You have to mix it up and maybe to two meals a day or one meal a day (OMAD).good luck
It’s so interesting how different people have had different results, but I haven’t heard anyone say that IF hasn’t worked. I may change it up now and again, but I have my follow up appointment coming up, so I need to crack on as is for now. Good luck to you too Olive ❤️❤️❤️
Hi Lynn, thanks for telling us about your new way of eating. Im trying to do this at the moment. Honestly, I know where your coming from with the night time cravings, that is my undoing as well. Something definately tells me that I have to have something naughty. I need to do it so that my clothes fit me instead of being unable to close zips on skirts/trousers. Lots of nice clothes I can no longer wear and not buying a larger size. Good luck and you are spurring me on. Love Jean ❤❤xx
Hi Jean, the evenings after my meal were the worse times of all. I have to say it’s got a lot easier Jean, so I hope you find the inspiration to get rid of that stuff, maybe just have a little in for when you really have to have one. I hope you join the journey, I know you have lots of lovely clothes, much love to you Jean ❤️❤️❤️
Hi Lynn, This intermittent fasting is a good thing, and if you can exercise as well... the weight will fall off! I've been unconsciously doing it for years, but that is only because I'm not really interested in food as much as I was when I was younger. Biscuits, chocolate, crisps and other snacks don't really bother me either.... daft isn't it! You're right, it's a new way of eating... not a diet. Good luck with your journey 😊 ❤ xxx
💖💖💖Hi Lyn,very interesting,wonderful idea that you are all on this healthy journey and encouraging anyone who is interested to do it with you all,I definately need to lose a lot of weight must try and do something about it for my health,I will be interested to see how you all go
Well there’s a few of us doing it, so if we all talk about how we’re getting on, you should get a rounded opinion, and then you can think about wether it’s something you may be interested in trying. ❤️❤️❤️
Fabulous little video Lynn, and how strange that I started intermittent fasting a couple of weeks ago too. 👏 I’m the same age height and weight as you so it will be interesting to see how it goes. I have dipped my toes in previously but for different reasons fell off the wagon. This time I am doing it 100% when I am able but if the odd day (or holidays) make it difficult, I’m going to accept it and then get back on when I am able. I totally agree with everything you say and I’m also doing it for the health benefits but I’ve already lost 4lbs which I am delighted with. I have a healthy snack idea if you are interested . Each week I roast a batch of mixed nuts and seeds in my air fryer. I usually roast cashews, pistachios, walnuts, pine nuts, sunflower seeds and pumpkin seeds. You can use any of your choice. They are absolutely delicious and a healthy source of protein too. I have a small handful during the day if I feel “snacky” but also crush them to use on top of yoghurt and also in a mixed salad too. Good luck on your journey Lynn 🥰
Wow well done on the weight loss Susan, I’m the same as you, last Sunday tea time we went for an Indian meal, I just ate till I was full, I stead of eating everything in front of to me, and we’d finished before 6.30 pm but I enjoyed it very much. If I feel like a treat I’ll definitely try the roasted nuts, how long did you cook them for if you don’t mind telling me, I’m very interested indeed. I love nuts, and I do like some crunch on yoghurts and in salads. Thanks for the tip. On Sunday I’ll have done full up q weeks, so I’m hoping the scales will be kind lol. We shall see 🤞 ❤️❤️❤️
Thanks Lynn. It really is so adaptable isn’t it and I too don’t feel deprived at all. We had our two little granddaughters to stay last weekend and that was a bit tricky, but I did my best and got back into the routine again on Monday. Regarding roasting the nuts (the recipe came from a chef at a Health Retreat video). You can roast them in the oven the same way as making granola and give them a quick shake. I do mine in the air fryer on roast for around 5 mins again keep checking and shaking. The natural oils come out of the nuts and give a lovely roast flavour. I hope you like them too. I usually store mine in a jar once cooled and use during the week as required. Pop some in a bag and lightly crush and top your fruit and yoghurt - delish 🥰 I do have another recipe for a fruit compote that is super easy too. It’s made with beetroot juice (sounds rank I know 🤣) but you don’t taste it and it’s full of healthy vitamins, chia seeds and frozen berries defrosted. I make this for the week too, top with Greek yoghurt and crushed roasted nuts - so good 😍
Hi Lynne - Unfortunately I love breakfast so the fasting is not for me but I did lose almost 2 stone just altering my diet and cutting out things that aren’t good for my cholesterol. I don’t have carbs every day and serve my meals on a small plate which helps with portion sizes. It works for me but I enjoy hearing about your way and look forward to seeing what you eat in a day ❤❤
I know a few people that need to eat in the morning, otherwise they feel sick, but thankfully I’m fine with it. It’s lovely to hear that you’ve managed to lose weight in your own way, a way that suits you. I’ve reduced my portions a lot ❤️❤️❤️
Thanks Lynn...I am In for the journey of weight loss and health, with you..I have chosen the path of Lulus way on you tube and it really works for me...I have been a yoyo dieter for 30 years or more and have 10 kgs to lose. I just started 2 weeks ago and have lost about 5lbs and am feeling so much better. I will be 70 in February and hope to be at goal weight by then...anyway it will be fun for us all to do a weekly weigh in on Sundays!!! Mine will be 1st as I live in NZ 🙃
Wow that’s a really good start 5lbs, I hope I’ve lost as much when I weigh in on Sunday. I’ll look forward to seeing your progress Felicity, well done so far ❤️❤️❤️
The bloating is my biggest concern as it gets very uncomfortable. I don't know what I ate the other day but I was so uncomfortable and before anybody says anything, I dont eat a lot of biscuits or cake, it is just random. l have never really been a breakfast eater so I kind of do intermittent fasting. I have started having apple cider vinegar and drinking peppermint tea. Good luck Lynn and I look forward to seeing how you get on. Btw I don't think 3 biscuits a day is going to hurt you, blooming heck your nearly 70 got to have some pleasures.❤
My daughter is the same, and it’s more or less instant, her belly goes from flat as a pancake to 7-8 months pregnant. We couldn’t work out what was causing it so she payed for a food intolerance test, and the results were unbelievable. It might be worth you thinking about that for yourself, at least then you would know what to avoid. The IF is working for me at the moment and for the last 2 nights I haven’t even had the 3 biscuits, but I’ll see how I go on, once I’ve been back for the follow up appointment I’ll let myself have that little pleasure again for sure. Thank you Margot ❤️❤️❤️
A very inspiring video Lynn thank you I felt really cold the other day and was going to sit and curl up in a blanket and thought no and put that ABBA exercise video on and warmed up in no time. I am 76, I am wanting to lose some weight I lost three stone with SlimmingWorld then covid hit and I put it all back on I had kept it off for four years and find it so hard now trying to lose anything now ❤️
Good luck Lynn, i've been doing intermittent fasting on and off for a while, it does work, i start eating about 11.00am and finish at 6.00pm, it becomes a habit and makes you feel a lot better ❤
Thank you for sharing that Mary, it helps to keep us going ❤️❤️❤️
Hi Lynn intermittent fasting does work I have now gone back to it as I had a TIA about 5weeks ago,I have an MRI appointment on the 27th to see what caused it as nothing is showing on a CT scan,the main cause of it up to now was my blood pressure as it was really high medication has brought it down and I feel great.I now need to push myself with more exercise as well as fasting.Take care hope all is well with you xx❤❤
I’m so sorry to hear that June, it’s scary isn’t it. Hopefully the MRI will not show anything and it was down to your BP. That’s the best outcome you could wish for. We need to take control of our health don’t we, and I’m enjoying the IF, it’s working for me and I’m finding it easy. We can all motivate each other on here, that’s the lovely thing about this community that’s built up, everyone is so supportive ❤️❤️❤️
Morning Lynn, how are you? I just have to tell you that after a week of intermittent fasting I have lost 3lb 🥳🥁That is the biggest weekly weight loss I’ve had, it’s usually 1lb. So thank you once again and I hope you have a great week. ❤x
Hi Susan, I’m good thank you. Wow that’s fabulous Susan, 3lb, I did my weigh in yesterday and I will reveal my loss or not as the case may be on Sunday. I love this new regime, it suits me to a T. Oh I’m so chuffed for you Susan, keep going and have a good week yourself ❤️❤️❤️
HI Lynn, since my hubby had his heart problem and myself having hereditary high BP our whole eating habits have changed. I have cut out most sugar products, biscuits, sugar in tea and coffee (really hard). I make all sauces, nothing out of jars, oils, NO processed food. I am 68, never been over weight but the thought of a stroke drives me on. Slowly my sugar twinges are going. Very occasional does not hurt. Every body is different and our metabolisms are not the same. I walk a lot and squats and since sugar leaves my body it has become easier to keep fit. Whatever suits you Lynn but watch what you take into your body. Inspiring, thanks for sharing xxx❤❤❤
Hi Tina, we are the same age, and I think we start to rethink our habits. The way things are with the NHS we really do have to help ourselves don’t we. I’ll find my way for sure thank you ❤️❤️❤️
Hi Lynn, thanks for this video, it’s given me the push that I need to stop lying to myself and take charge of my overeating habits, I find myself saying “ what can I eat “ as soon as I sit down on the settee in the evening to watch tv, and I’ve only just finished my dinner for goodness sake!!! That’s my danger time, snacking, it’s a really hard habit to break. Of course it’s not just the amount you eat and when, but it’s what food you eat too. So, I’m going on this journey with you and I’m really going to try. So I wish us all good luck, and good health. Bye for now, love Sandra. Xx
I was the same Sandra, it becomes a way of life, and it’s so hard not to do it. I can tell you in all honesty that now that I’ve stopped, I’m not missing them, I haven’t had any biscuits these last 2 nights at all. And it’s not bothering me. If we do it together it will spur us on, we can motivate each other to get where we need to be, I’m always here if you need some support. Lots of love ❤️❤️❤️
@@Nanna-M thanks dear friend, we will do it together, here we go!!! X❤
Hi Lynn. You’re doing amazing with your IF. I’ve been doing it for over 7 years and stay at the same weight. It’s easy once you’re used to it. It’s hard to stop eating treats especially coming up to Christmas but I believe that if you deny yourself everything you just crave it more and feel totally miserable so an odd treat is fine. Have a lovely day. ❤💕💕
Hi Sandra, 7 years, wow, that’s a definite lifestyle change for you. I hope I can manage that, I’m doing fine up to now. I haven’t had a biscuit now for 4 days, but I’m not denying myself forever, just to kick start me on my journey, and I intend to enjoy Christmas as well. I agree about the odd treat, it’s not going to kill us is it lol ❤️❤️❤️
Hi Lynn, I've been intermittent fasting for year's!!! LOVE LOVE ❤️ IT !!! THE TRICK FOR ME WAS TOO BE FLEXIBLE WITH IT!!! APPLE AND PEANUT BUTTER REPLACED BISCUITS FOR ME ❤❤ LOOK FORWARD TO FOLLOWING YOUR ADVENTURE 😊🙏
Ooooo Sharon, I might try the apple and peanut butter, someone also said banana and peanut butter. Sounds delicious, I just thought it was bad for you ❤️❤️❤️ I’ve had my weigh in this morning, took a photo to show next Sunday….i won’t spoil the results lol ❤️❤️❤️
@@Nanna-MIt is delicious Lynn banana works as well, Dr Mindy pelz recommends it to curb your sweet tooth it works great for me!!!! Can't wait for your weigh in just know it's going to be good, fasting is a way of life for me, it's so easy once you get the hang of it, have a fabulous week 😊 🙏❤
@ peanut butter will be going on my shopping list, thank you Sharon. ❤️❤️❤️
Hi Lynn, this video was so interesting and honest. Like you I’m 5ft 1 and 8 years ago I weighed 10 stone 2 pounds. I was uncomfortable and my clothes didn’t fit. I thought there is no way I’m buying a bigger size. I cut out all the rubbish and eat smaller portions. I got down to 8 stone 5 pounds and I’ve kept to that weight ever since. We have two dogs and walk them on average 5 miles a day which helps enormously. Something my husband and I really enjoy. Good luck with your journey Lynn, you can do it. Looking forward to Sundays video. ❤️
Wow Jill, I hope I can get down to that eventually, you must feel so much better. If I can get my leg sorted out, I will walk for sure. Thank you for the faith, I appreciate it very much ❤️❤️❤️
Lyn I will join you on this journey,as for the wardrobe ! Get your sewing machine out and make some alterations xx
Aw that’s fabulous Carol, there’s quite a few of us now, so we can all inspire each other woo woo ❤️❤️❤️
Hi Lynn don’t know how I missed this fabulous video it was way down in my play list. Fantastic I’m in with you and all the other lovely subscribers who are struggling. I ran a weight loss group for 27 years managed to keep my weight under control cause it was the motivation of getting weighed in Front of people that kept me going. I stopped smoking 7 years ago ready for my premature twin grandchildren arriving. Didn’t want any smoke near them from my clothes etc. and the weight started creeping on my belly is like I’m 7 months pregnant Since I retired 3 years ago well what can I say. I’m like a telly tubby. So there you all have it I’m on this journey. Good luck to everyone and Lynn my god you are an inspiration to us all and thank you And if you do crave a biscuit have one and get straight back on Sometimes depriving yourself makes it worse.
Oh Pam, it’s like you are describing me to a T. All my life I’ve been slim, and then giving up smoking, retiring, pigging out and not moving enough just piled it on. I’m so happy that my story resonated with you and your joining me on this journey, as you say, once you put it out there it most definitely helps to stay on track, I don’t want to let any of you ladies down as well as myself so here goes, get on this train with me, and we’ll smash it together. We can do it. If I feel like a biscuit, I will have a couple, just not the packet hahaha 🤣❤️❤️❤️
@@Nanna-M yes Lynn let’s smash it. I’m starting tomorrow. Already feel good. lol cause I’ve decided to do something. I have been doing some exercises for a couple of weeks and that has made me feel better. So I shall have an eating window of 11 am to 7 pm is that right. lol god help me. Thanks Lynn here we go 😂❤
Well done Lynn for explaining the IF process so well and being so encouraging. I'm sure you've given lots of us something to think about and try to have a go at. It's so important to spread the healthy lifestyle message. ❤
Thank you Wanda, you are so right ❤️❤️❤️
Hi Lynn, I really enjoyed listening to your vlog and appreciate your honesty. Wishing you all the best with your health journey. ❤xx
Thank you Norma ❤️❤️❤️
Good morning Lynn. I wish you well on your intermittent fasting, 😊❤❤
Thank you ❤️❤️❤️
Hi Lynn love the video it has given me some inspiration ❤❤
That’s good to hear, stay tuned for the results in Sundays video ??? ❤️❤️❤️
Well done Lynn, you have made a great start to this eating plan. I have been doing exactly the same thing as yourself and have managed to break through the 10 stone barrier although it has taken 5 weeks. I really think so much of which foods we need or want is in our head, I completely agree with you about closing the 7.0pm window is just so easy once you start. Look forward to following your progress.
Wow Bronwen, that’s my first goal, to break that barrier, I’m determined, and that will spur me on to do the rest. Thank you so much, and well done ❤️❤️❤️
You are doing really well Lynn, you definitely get in a rhythm with it. It really suits me. I’ve stayed the same weight wise the last week, but it feels like my shape is changing. I also feel like it’s something you could do forever xx
Hi Julie, I’m going to weigh myself on Sunday, I can tell my body has changed in 2 weeks, I have more room in my pants, and it sounds silly but my rings are spinning round my fingers lol. I’m definitely in a rhythm, and the longer I do it, the easier it is, thanks for the inspiration to get me started. 3 of a kind gave me the kick up the bum xx
@ I’ve just had a conversation with Dave about my rings spinning round lol 😂
@ hahaha I’d rather it was my belts 😂🤣😂
I've started Intermittent fasting Lynn. I eat between 12-8,its early days but feeling better. Good luck.😊
Brilliant Maureen, that helps to motivate me ❤️❤️❤️
I’m with you, Lynn. Hope we can both get healthy together.❤x
We can do it Carol, we’ll help each other ❤️❤️❤️
Good luck Lynn
You’ll be just fine and I’m certain you’ll succeed
I’ve been doing it the best part of the year,having said that like a lot of people including yourself,I don’t enjoy breakfast so I’m more than happy to start eating at lunchtime.Sometimes I fall off the wagon but I soon give myself a talking to and start again.
Evenings are my worst time as like you I can open that cupboard and pick pick pick.
Do what feels right for you as some people will always try to tell you what you’re doing wrong,but your an intelligent woman and I’m sure you know exactly what you need to do so just do it your way❤
Thank you Alison, I certainly hope so. I’m sure I’ll have my moments where I fall off, but like you I’ll get back on it. ❤️❤️❤️
Hi Lynn - intermittent fasting does work. I was doing it earlier in the year and steadily losing weight, having more energy and feeling more healthy and less tired. When I went on holiday in June I stopped it and have never got back to it. The weight has piled on again and I am back to being tired and lethargic. After watching your video you have inspired me to recommence it and I am going g to start from Monday. Eliz
That’s the thing, we stop for some reason, and find it so hard to restart, join all the ladies on here and we can motivate each other, we can do this Eliz ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Morning Lynn…I shall definitely be with you on this journey. I don’t eat before 12 but I do have a morning cappuccino, didn’t realise that was wrong 😱 . Snacking is my problem too I have a cupboard full for when my children and Grandchildren come round, they dive into it the problem is so do I !, . Looking at the weight and height charts my weight would be spot on if I was 6ft.4in so I either need stretching or follow you which I shall try to do now ….it will be a lot less painful! 😂 Thanks for the inspiration.🌺xx
Brilliant Rita. Hahaha, let’s do it together and support each other, I think it helps a lot when your not on your own ❤️❤️❤️
I'm giving it a try too, thank you Lynn x
Brilliant Katie ❤️❤️❤️
❤ Good luck Lynn, very interesting .I really need to do this xx
Do it with me Maureen ❤️❤️❤️
Hi Lynn.Healthy snacks…tiny tomatoes kept in the fridge..NO Callories👍👌🤪
Yes I will do, tomato skin sets my IBS off, but I’ll try a few and see how I go, thank you ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you Lynn. I started the intermittent fasting about 10 days ago when you mentioned it during a video. I have found it pretty easy so far. I particularly feel the 7pm cut off has to help as I am not going to bed with a lot in my tummy... the snacking after dinner was becoming a real problem...not anymore. Good luck to both of us on this journey.
You sound exactly like me Lorraine, so well done up to now, and let’s keep going, we can do it ❤️❤️❤️
It’s good to hear you are making changes. Can I offer the suggestion of investigating ultra processed foods, look up Chris Van Tulken as a start. Once you realise what is actually in most of the food you buy you should loose the desire to eat it. Since cutting out the UPF foods and eating proper food , and I thought I was eating quite healthy, the excess weight disappeared without effort and I dropped two dress sizes. The health benefits have been amazing. I am coming up to 72 and enjoying being back to a healthy weight.
Hi Lynne, thank you. Of course, any advice is more than welcome. I will look them up for sure, I do eat a lot of fresh food, but there are things in my cupboard that are processed, like tinned peas, etc. I am getting very interested in what’s actually in these foods, and I will definitely try and find an alternative if possible. I can’t do everything all at once, because my husband has to have the things that he likes, but I don’t need to eat them. I’m really happy for you, you must be very proud of yourself. ❤️❤️❤️
I'm joining you Lynn, good luck 🥰❤️❤️❤️
Fabulous Rosanna, thank you ❤️❤️❤️
Good luck everyone. Intermittent fasting's great. It soon becomes a way of life. Listening to you talking about your weight when you were younger Lynn makes me realise I'm something of an oddity because I weighed 11 stone at 18 and I still do pushing 70 (I'm 5'6"). It was tough back in the day when fashionable clothes only went up to size 12 but now I feel pretty chuffed lol!
On behalf of everyone, thank you very much. That must be the ideal weight for you, and you are 5” taller so you probably carry it well, it doesn’t look so good on little old me lol ❤️❤️❤️
I've tried intermittent fasting and the 5:2 diet in the past and they both work really well. I'm of a similar age and height as you and I weigh 10st 8lb so I'm going to join you Lynn and pass that 10st barrier! Thanks for inspiring me. 😊 Good luck to everyone who's going to come along for the ride.❤
Brilliant Sue, I’m sure that together we’ll get through that 10st barrier, we know it works so it’s just a case of motivating each other to keep going, well done it ❤️❤️❤️
@Nanna-M I'm looking forward to watching your videos next week. 😊❤️
Well done lynn for yet again another great video 😊 truly inspiring, looking forward to seeing your next 1 on sunday lovely lady.❤
Aw thank you Ann ❤️❤️❤️
All the very best with your fasting journey, Lynn. It’s best if you don’t have the temptations in your cupboards. But it won’t work if you feel like you are depriving yourself of things you enjoy. ❤❤
I can’t deprive Harvey just because I don’t want them, it wouldn’t be fair he loves his biscuits, and never puts weight on, he’s like his Dad for that. I just need self control lol, and truthfully I haven’t had a single biscuit for 2 days, this will be my 3rd if I can manage it. But if I feel like one I will not deprive myself of no more than 2 lol ❤️❤️❤️
Hi Lynn. I just started fasting a few days ago so far everything is go fine. I just came across your channel it's like having a Weight loss, buddy. I 'am Scottish. I live in Ontario Canada 🇨🇦
Oh fabulous Lynda, I’ll be your buddy for sure, we can check in and see how we’re getting on my Scottish friend ❤️❤️❤️
Will join you on this Lynn. I did try last year when Maree did it but needed my cup of tea in a morning. Lately I have been eating too much bread as it’s so easy to just make a sandwich when you are on your own
yes I know what you mean Tina, but you can have one as long as it’s in your eating window. I’m glad you’re joining me Tina, but I think I’ll have a day off when we meet up. xx
Hi Lynn good on you for sticking to it. I'm sure you will succeed. I don't eat before 11am, l just like it that way. I am very thin and my husband keeps saying l need to eat more and put weight on. I am fine I've had health checks all good. Good luck Lynn. Take care. ❤❤
I never usually eat in the morning anyway, my problems were snacking at night. Your weight must be right for you, if you are slight build, then enjoy it, clothes will look fabulous on your trim figure ❤️❤️❤️
Hi Lynn ,I think this is a good way to get healthy and feel better and more comfortable, it's the middle age stomach fat I struggle with. ,I will definitely try the longer fasting window. Thank you. X❤❤
I think so too Susan, I feel like I’ve reached that age when things go belly up hahaha so I need to get control of anything that I can, much love Susan ❤️❤️❤️
Hello Lynn, what a great video - thank you. I for one will be joining in with you. I am 70 and really need to get a grip with my sugar cravings, I eat far too much. You've given me the push I need and with Christmas round the corner I will be using that as a my first "marker" so to speak. Good luck to you and to everyone else who joins in ❤
Aw that’s good news indeed, the more the merrier, I think it helps so much when you’re not on your own. We can do this together, I haven’t had a biscuit for 2 days, I’m so chuffed with myself. That’s not to say I never will, but whilst I’m not craving I’m taking adavantage, lol. ❤️❤️❤️
Hi Lynn, I wish you ever success with your new way of eating I’m sure you will soon get to the weight you wish to be. Since I was so poorly last year I lost so much weight so after years of dieting I don’t need to anymore.🎉😂 I have shingles at the moment but can enjoy sitting knitting and watching UA-cam. Lots of love from Joy ❤❤xxx
Hi Joy, I hope so. You poor woman, I know what shingles are like, I do hope you are not in too much pain lovely lady, and I hope they leave you soon. Much love, I won’t hug you cause it would hurt ❤️❤️❤️
I’ve just started doing the fasting too. I stop at 6pm and don’t eat and only black tea and water until 12 noon the next day. I have the same problem with weight. I hover between 10st 1 and 10 st 7. Can’t get below the 10. Hopefully this will help. I also try to stick to low carb in my eating window which should help with the diabetes. 😩 I have couple of squares of chocolate after my tea. This is my treat for the day. I think we all need a little treat.
Jane, I’m sure it will come off even if it’s slowly, I’m sorry that you have diabetes, I hope you’ve discussed the fasting with your nurse, I’m worried that you may need some form of food because of your diabetes. we all need a treat don’t we, mines 3 biscuits albeit plain ones, it’s enough for me ❤️❤️❤️
@ Yes I had a call with her last week to discuss my annual health review results. She knows I don’t eat breakfast and only have between 50-60g of carbs a day. I’ve been using this approach since last January and I’ve finally reached my targets on all health markers. The fasting is a new thing I wanted to add in to try and lose the last few pounds. Thankyou for showing concern for me though Lynn x
Hi Lynn looking forward to watch your journey 🎉❤
Thank you, knowing people are watching motivates me to do it ❤️❤️❤️
I’m EXACTLY same height and weight as you and you’ve inspired me to do something! Thank you for being so open. Good luck with the check up x
Aw brilliant Avril, we can do this, and thank you ❤️❤️❤️
❤ I’m also on a get healthy train. I haven’t actually set a timed intermittent fasting schedule but I do fast everyday,if that makes sense. Good luck to us all!
Good luck Huff, I’m glad you’ve found something that works for you ❤️❤️❤️
Good for you Lynn. This year ive had a terrible time with IBS. Ive cut out all wheat, dairy & sugar products, & im also doing intermittent fasting. 9-5 is my eating window. Im a morning person, so that works for me. Ive done this before when i had really bad arthritis & couldnt operate the clutch in my car. As a result of this i lost 2 stone & no longer had arthritis. I hope it works as well this time. Good luck to you. Keep going, its so worth it. X
Hi Deborah, thank you for sharing this with me, it gives me more reason to do it, and will help me on this journey, so let’s get determined ❤️❤️❤️
Hi Lynne, enjoyed this vid and so looking forward to seeing your what you are eating I really need to lose weight as I am very overweight and I am diabetic as well. Looking forward to Sundays vid. Take care Lynne.
Hi Gail, my eating window really suits me, I’ve got used to it now and I’m enjoying it. Thank you, and happy weekend Gail. ❤️❤️❤️
Hi Lynn, I used to do intermittent fasting and did lose weight but I've put it back on. Your video has spurred me on to go back to it. Good luck to you and good luck to me 😊 x
By the way, I haven't put all of it back on. I lost 3 stone in 12 months, I've put about half a stone back on x
You can do it Christine, if I can anyone can. we can all help each other on here can’t we ❤️❤️❤️
@@Nanna-M we certainly can 👍 x
Really enjoyed this Lynn. Adopting time restricted eating is one of the best things I’ve ever done for myself. Looking forward to following your story! ❤️
Thank you, it’s so uplifting to hear how it’s worked for people, it inspires us to keep going, so thank you for sharing your success. ❤️❤️❤️
Well done Lynn, I'm enjoying intermittent fasting. Its all about changing habits or starting new healthier ones for me. Easier said than done though. I've stopped my evening snacking though. Yay!
Thank you Rhian, you are so right, and I’ve stopped the snacking as well, and my appetite has decreased as well. Yay haha so well done you xx
Hi Lynn you could start a club with all of following you,You are an inspiration to us all.love your videos.
I could Elaine, I never expected so many people would want to join in, it’s amazing, we can all support each other can’t we ❤️❤️❤️
Good Luck Lynn I hope you’re successful with your eating program. Your son is very kind to treat you to your wellness visit. I had to cut out sugar because of a health reason and lost two stone, it came off slowly and I then realised my clothes were getting loose. Going back years we didn’t eat in between meals and stayed a decent weight so that may help others. Thanks for sharing this I’m sure you will have some viewers who will join in good luck ❤
Thank you Carol, I haven’t had sugar in my tea for years, but I like my biscuits lol, and cake, that’s my downfall, but I have to say, just allowing myself 3 per night is working, very plain ones but it’s my treat. Quite a few ladies are joining me so I’m not alone on this journey ❤️❤️❤️
Hi Lynn, you are doing amazing! You are right, your body changes as you get older and shifting the weight gets harder, keep up the good work, you look fabulous ❤❤❤
Thank you Jo ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so much Lynn for yet another honest video ❤ I’m 75 , 14’7. and 5ft3 . So far I’ve lost 3’11lb the mounjaro injection which I’ve purchased myself. It is insanely expensive but the waiting list on the nhs is so long that I decided to take the plunge. However I need to stop taking it soon and need something to keep me going on my journey and also not regain !! SO I’m in . I’m going to join you on this and give it a go. I’m no longer pre diabetic but stil have other health issues that will benefit from weight loss. Upwards on onwards, here we go. ❤👍🏻
Hi Susan, you are so welcome. well done you, and if the Mounjaro has helped you to get the start that you needed I’m all for it Susan. I imagine that your stomach will have shrunk quite a bit, so you are pre set really for eating less, the art here is to not go back to the large portions, so let’s do it together Susan, we can do this…much love ❤️❤️❤️
Definitely will be following and getting ideas Lynn. I have a substantial amount to lose and have just been diagnosed diabetic so it’s really important for me. I follow you anyway as you know but I’m really keen to see your progress. Take care and I wish you well 💖
oh really Ann, well maybe you’ll get some inspiration for all us ladies that are taking on this new lifestyle. I know I’ve lost already, but I’m not weighing till Sunday even though I’m sorely tempted lol. Much love Ann ❤️❤️❤️
Good luck Lynn, I've always been obsessed with food. I just fancy sweet stuff only, which is not good especially with my high sugar levels.
Take care x
Thank you Leigh, the sweet tooth developed when I gave up smoking, and it’s never left me, but the night snacks were my downfall, much love ❤️❤️❤️
I do agree with intermittent fasting and do it myself combined with exercise but I do believe in a little of what you fancy its all about portion control I think 😉 take care❤
Totally agree Alison ❤️❤️❤️
I can relate to everything you say Lynn everything !!
Can I just say you ALWAYS look lovely and to me you don’t look overweight in the slightest.
You know your style and honestly Lynn you always look classy trendy and you xx but I know that we are never happy with ourselves and I think we know what we are happy with.
I know I put weight on really easy and it’s flippin hard to get off !!
Enjoy your bicci lots of love ❤❤ xxx
Shelly you are always so very kind and positive, your messages are always lovely to read. When my weight is up in the high 10st 11lbs mark, I feel terrible, 10st not too bad, but my BMI does say I’m overweight for my size, so I really do need to get this sorted. You are so right, the weight is really hard to shift, especially for me at my age, but I’m determined so I’ll do it. Much love to you Shelly, thank you for being you. ❤️❤️❤️
@ you are lovely too my friend xx
Looking great
Thank you ❤️
You've got this ❤
Thank you Dusty ❤️❤️❤️
Thanks for being honest Lynn.good luck.❤❤❤
Always Rosemary ❤️❤️❤️
Hi Lynn I’ve tried the intermittent fasting a few times and it works. I started it when I saw Michael Moseley talk about it on tv. I can’t have biscuits, cake, crisps in the house because it calls to me from the cupboard to eat it! Christmas is a nightmare with all the goodies in the cupboard. Good luck with your fasting. I’m sure you’ll have lost a few pounds by the time you have your check up. Good luck ❤. Ps. Your tank top looks lovely, I bought one after seeing you in it and the hoodie. Xx
Aw thank you Mary, I have to have them in the house for Harvey, but it’s not bothering me at all for some reason lol, if it does bother me I’ll tell him to hide them. Everyone seems to say it’s worked for them when they’ve done it, so I’m sure it will for me too. I love the tank top, it’s so smart. ❤️❤️❤️
Hi Lynne, really enjoyed listening to you about the intermittent diet, what you said is me to a tee , you do make me smile when I listen to your shows . I’m looking forward to seeing how you get on. I think another shopping trip will be on the cards for you 😃 keep it up, I know you can do it.🥰x
Hi Linda, thank you so much, and I’ll get over having to go a shopping trip hahaha 🤣❤️❤️❤️
Did it for 10 days lost 4 pounds went away stopped. Back home now starting again today. Thanks Lynne you have inspired me try again. I have to say l did find it easy after the first few days and I felt a lot better 😍😍
Brilliant Lynne, you’ll soon lose that rib again, we’re on it together ❤️❤️❤️
Hi lynn, I think you've done really well. I do the intermittent fasting too, it has really worked for me. My stomach has felt so much better. I don't eat after 7pm and not before 12 noon. Lovely video ❤ have a great weekend.
12-7pm seems to be very popular, quite a few people have said the same. It works for me ❤️❤️❤️
Oh Lynn that discipline sounds great but I have no will power. I have done the WW & S/World but lost weight only to put it all back on again even more. I feel comfortable as I am now. Thanks for sharing. Take care x
Hi Milly, yes it does need some willpower at first, but it becomes so easy after a week or so, but if you are happy, that’s all that matters ❤️❤️❤️
Good luck with your health journey Lynn. It’s not easy trying to beat the menopause as well as other issues along the way but alls we can do is try. And don’t forget to consider the non scale victories! We lose inches sometimes without so much as losing half a pound.
Take care lovely and have a wonderful
Weekend ❤️❤️ xx
Thank you Claire. Absolutely, we can only do our best, but up to now I’m doing fine with this IF. I’m only worried about the weight because of what the cardio consultant said to me, so if I can lose a bit, I’ll be a lot happier. I mean the inch loss would be a bonus, especially around the middle lol. Have a fabulous weekend with the lovely Autumn, take care ❤️❤️xx
@ ❤️❤️
Hi Lynn I will be joining u on your intermittent fasting journey just want to feel more comfortable in my clothes can feel trousers getting very snug at waist and just feel sluggish and the long evening don’t help me I am same snacking on biscuits and chocolate 🙈 think doing the fasting with u will keep me on track hopefully 😊
Oh Eileen, I know how you feel, we can do this together and help each other, welcome aboard lol ❤️❤️❤️
Thankyou Lynn
Thank you Iris ❤️❤️❤️
Hi Lynne. I started the IF/time restricted eating about 2 years ago, when I was a similar age to you. The reason mainly due to digestive issues. The weight loss of about 1.5 stone was a bonus. Im 71 now and extremely healthy and able to have treats., go on holiday etc and stll maintain. I do regular exercise, mainly walking.
The role of insulin is very important in regulating body weight, its worth looking into that to get an understanding. Best of luck 🤞 xxx
Hi Marie, I’m an x nurse so quite well informed about the role of insulin, your experience with the IF is very inspiring, it’s always nice to hear success, it motivates us to keep going. I hope I can get to where you are eventually, I’m quite prepared to put the effort in, so fingers crossed I’ll get there. Thank you so much ❤️❤️❤️
Feel your pain Lynn! Like you have decided to get a grip on life and sort my diet out. Not just cutting down but eating healthier. Let’s worry about clothes being too big later but think I shall rise to the shopping challenge very well! Can’t wait! I think too many holidays have been a factor,,,not the food, I usually eat sensibly but it is all the sugar in the drinks! I know the answer is not to drink alcohol but that isn’t going to happen on holiday! At home I only drink one day a week! Let’s see how we go. Good luck!xxxxx Liz
Well good for you Elizabeth, I’ll look forward to the shopping if I manage to go down a bit haha, that’s the cherry on the cake so to speak. 😂 well the IF will go to pot if I go on holiday, but I’ll jump back on it as soon as I get home, and it will probably be the same at Christmas, but that won’t be every day, just now and again. Good luck to you too Liz, we can do this ❤️❤️❤️
Thanks for sharing your experience with us I’ll definitely look into this and have a go doing it as I’m five stone over weight so really need to do something about my weight thanks for being so helpful . My spinal surgery went well and I’m recovering well see you soon dear friend 🎉🎉❤❤
Aw that’s good news Lesley, thank goodness. This could be your next step to a healthier you, I hope you join us all on the journey ❤️❤️❤️
Tnx Lynn, my dad would never eat after his dinner at 6, he said you should go to bed hungry and after he ate his dinner he would would be thankful for his next meal 😂 I’ve started doing the same and I definitely feel better for it and I sleep better too, not good to go to bed on a full stomach ❤❤❤
your dad sounds like a wise man Fiona, I’m not sleeping better as yet, but I’m hoping that will be a bonus as my sleep is shocking ❤️❤️❤️
Hi Lynn. Shall I tell you the problem. We kid ourselves that eating all this crap is okay. The easiest way to start is.... Don't have the bloody stuff in the house. Don't buy it. I'm 5'3 7st 11. 63 years. Don't accept that weight gain is menapausal or age. It's not. You're kidding yourself that 3 biscuits are better than 4. A treat is once a week. Not every day. You don't eat until you're full. I don't do that. I eat breakfast and dinner, befor6pm. The sugar buisness is lethal. You are changing your diet in a sensible way. I keep my weight stable because I have the knowledge. It's not rocket science. People are just making excuses all the time. I've done this myself. Good luck Lynn. If you haven't got it in the house you can't eat it. Xxxx
I tend to agree. Personally I don't have biscuits in the house routinely. My 'desert' is a yogurt. Sugar is addictive to me so once I've had a chocolate bar or a cake I just want more and more. That's not to say I don't build an occasional treat into my intermittent fasting routine but I'll just have it instead of a meal on that particular day.
This is absolutely right Lynn you really need to watch your sugar its the root of all evil, there is high amounts of sugar in so many things we eat and don't realise how badly it can affect your health and of course your weight, ditch them biscuits ❤
I agree I don’t buy biscuits etc if the grandchildren are coming round I buy them and send what they don’t eat home with them. I’ve lost 4 stone now still got a way to go but I dint think it’s the menopause that’s the cause it’s just overeating that’s done it.
@ they aren’t allowed much .
I agree with you. Why buy biscuits , crisps etc and have them in the house. My grandchildren have yogurt or fruit if they come round and my only snack is fruit or a low calorie ice lolly. Once a week I have a treat out of the house. I don’t do intermittent fasting as like my breakfast before going to the gym. Good luck with your weight loss, interested to follow your progress.
Hi Lynn thanks for your update i will give it a go, I've pilled weight on since menopause I'm active but suffer from arthritis so can't do what i used to, everybody's different I'm 5ft 2 but I'm not a petite build i was 10 st 5lb and size 10 so sometimes the recommended weight for your height is rubbish, professional rugby players as classed as obese, so if you want a biscuit have a biscuit you do you and don't listen to some of yours commits your doing a great job well done xx
It’s worth a try Melanie, if you feel like you want to try and get a bit healthier. I have to say that I felt very uncomfortable at 10st 11lb, my tummy was large, my clothes didn’t look as nice, and I just didn’t feel good at all. The intermittent fasting has really worked for me, but as you say, if I want a little treat I will have one, I just haven’t really felt the need up to now. Thank you so much for your lovely comment Melanie, and good luck with your fasting ❤️❤️❤️
I’ve always been confused about the fasting but now your video has cleared it up for me! All I know is your brave, I could not do that 😂🎉❤🌹
I’ve got used it already Gemma, but it’s not for everyone ❤️❤️❤️
❤❤ good luck Lynne. I hope I’ll have the willpower to join you, I’ve just given up cigarettes about 5 months ago due to health reasons. I wish you and all your subscribers the very best of luck. ☘️ xx
Well done Lillian, giving up smoking is the hardest thing, but the very best thing I’ve ever done. I’m 10 years post smoking now, so well done to you for doing it, you must be so very proud of yourself for achieving that. Thank you ❤️❤️❤️
Hi Lynn you are so relatable I’m 5ft 2 and 10 stone 8 can’t seem to get under that but I’m going to try fasting but I will have to do it like when I gave up smoking I would push it back an hour each day start at 10 am then the next day 11am just gradual I feel that will be the way for me. Thank you for being so open about your lifestyle I also snack just habit good luck Lynn love your vlogs feel as if I’m in the company of a lovely friend 😘😘
You know what works for you Kaz, and if you can give up smoking, this will be a breeze, good luck my friend ❤️❤️❤️
Hi Lynn, wow you’re starting a movement! I think it is great what you are doing and grateful that you are sharing the journey. While you were talking I wondered about a couple of things. You mentioned IBS and introducing whole meal bread back into your diet. It may be an idea to but some fresh baker’s bread rather than ready sliced, as things are put into sliced packeted bread to keep it moist for longer. Freshly made baker’s bread may be better for you, even if it is frozen. Also I follow an American doctor’s UA-cam who seems to talk a lot of sense about eating/drinking and exercise even done in a chair etc. Also he is not selling anything unlike a lot of others! Recently he was talking about tea drinking (a special green tea) and other drinks with turmeric, garlic powder, lemon and honey etc. His name is Dr Alan Mandell. Channel name something like motivational.doc. Hope you progress and reach your goals.
Someone else said about the bread, I don’t eat very much of it at all, but I will either buy some fresh, or make some, I didn’t even look at the ingredients in the shop bought bread till last night, and I’m not eating anymore of it, the additives are off the scale. Thanks for sharing Hazel ❤️❤️❤️
Thanks Lynn, great video ❤❤
Thank you Cath ❤️❤️❤️
I wish you all the best .I'm cutting out sugary snacks at home and eating more fruit between meals.I find it so hard as I'm an emotional eater but I'm on day four and hoping to keep going until Chrustmas .I am eating a treat if I'm out but having it as a pudding.I hope your results are good .x.
Well good for you Sian, we can do this, I haven’t had a biscuit for 2 days now, I’m hoping to keep that up at least till I’ve been for my follow up appointment. Fingers crossed lol ❤️❤️❤️
Lynn, I'm 75 years old & I believe in calanetics, if you could watch you tube & try doing some of those, you don't have to do them all , this reshapes your body, have a look @ this, hope it helps.
I also do Zumba twice a week. Good luck , from me in Scotland x
Hi Grace, thank you for the suggestion, I’ll have a look at it, enjoy your Zumba ❤️❤️❤️
❤ good luck
Thank you Susan ❤️❤️❤️
Morning Lynn
My downfall is biscuits. l can't just have one. . You have encourage me to go back to intermittented fasting .
Thank you Lynn.❤❤
You can do it Patsy, I used to eat a full packet sometimes, it’s a disgrace hahaha, but not anymore, I’m on it ❤️❤️❤️
Hi Lyn
Yesterday my hubby and I attended are 1st class on diabetes the doctor said are sugar was slightly over the limit and if we didn’t do anything about it in a year or two we’d be type 2 diabetic. Have to say it was very interesting and very informative. We go twice a month till February then once a month till next September. Why till then ? they say records show that it take 9 months for people to change there ways and get used to a new way of eating. His first words were don’t go at it like bull in a china shop lol He said it’s not about cutting things out of your diet completely it’s choosing the lower sugar / less fat options they give you a little chart to keep in your bag so you can check the the % of things you must not go over. He told us to eat 3 times a day and try not to snack. They did weigh everyone so we’ll see in 2 weeks time how we get on. Good luck with your new eating plan . X❤
That’s interesting Wendy, what a good service for people. I just need to lose some quickly for the follow up appointment I have, but your Dr has talked about the most sensible approach if you can afford the time. Good luck with your new way of eating, let me know how you get on ❤️❤️❤️
Hi Lynn, i love eating biscuits as well, and need to stop, i bought a bag of frozen mixed fruit with strawberries, berries etc, and snack on that, I found it helps with my sweet tooth!
Hugs from Australia ❤
someone suggested roasted nuts as a snack, so I’m going to do some in the airfryer for a treat ❤️❤️❤️
Good idea!❤@@Nanna-M
I can relate to how and when you snack, I am a chocoholic plus I live in a retirement village where we have a very full social life with lots of desserts, cakes etc. Evenings are shocking as it is as you say, sitting down watching T V after dinner and then I need something sweet!
For the next few weeks I am also not able to exercise as I gave gad a foot op and am sitting most of the day....I am 5ft 1inch and weigh about 72kg. (11 stone....) My weight has never been like this before. You have inspired me to do something - to say no to sugary foods! Thank you. ❤
Aw Diane, I know how you feel, it’s so hard when it’s all around you. Someone suggested to me to airfryer some assorted nuts and seeds, for a healthy snack, but then nuts are quite high in calories too, so you just don’t know what to do. I can say toy hand on heart, I’m not missing the snacking, and I’ve only been doing it for 2 weeks, it’s like giving yourself the eating window, gives you the strength you need, I just know not to eat after 6.30-7. I haven’t even had my 3 biscuits for the last 2 nights, it’s worth a try Diane, especially while your foot is sore and your not going to the social events, an ideal time to start. Good luck, you can do it ❤️❤️❤️
@Nanna-M thank you! Well done you! Being in a village I can still socialize as we have a big club room with a few functions happening and I am in a wheelchair. Good idea to close the eating window from 6-7pm. Thanks again. 😘
Hi Lynn another great video and very interested to see how you go on. Please can I ask what the gut food is you were talking about. I constantly feel bloated and think it might help me. I’m overweight too and just want to start feeling better about myself so anything that might help is very welcome. Thank you in advance and good luck x
Hi Susan, yes the gut feel is a supergreen supplement that you can add to any meal, like a stew or casserole, you can add it to yoghurt, drink it in some healthy juice etc. it’s a powder, and it works on your gut to feed it with good stuff. The company I use is called RHEAL, they have different supplements for different things, but the gut feel is the one for bloating and IBS. It’s worked wonders for me, I take a heaped teaspoon every day. I’ll give you the link to the website in case you want to check it out, www.google.com/aclk?sa=L&ai=DChcSEwip_NqWn-CJAxXyolAGHdf8BVUYABABGgJkZw&co=1&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIqfzalp_giQMV8qJQBh3X_AVVEAAYASAAEgLOUvD_BwE&sig=AOD64_0kAPHSSMdyGaSYmP4tW6o_gHye7Q&q&adurl&ved=2ahUKEwi4s9OWn-CJAxXEZ0EAHWEhAAQQ0Qx6BAgLEAE good luck if you try it ❤️❤️❤️
Morning Lynn thanks for letting us know about fasting I have the same problem with my weight and struggling with it I am going to go on my holiday and enjoy Christmas I am starting to healthy in the in new year ❤xx
Good for you Alana, I’ll still be here doing it. ❤️❤️❤️
Thanks Lynn very informative, I go off how my clothes fit and they are a bit tight, so watching with interest ❤
I’ll be keeping you updated on here June ❤️❤️❤️
Hi Lynn, really enjoyed this video. You have inspired me to give the intermittent fasting a proper go. I am a similar age and height as you and know I need to lose some weight. Looking forward to seeing your future videos. ❤ XX
Fabulous Sandra, we can do this together, there’s a few ladies joining so we can all support each other ❤️❤️❤️
Lynn I started doing IF 3 years ago I lost 8lb and I’ve kept if off. The first two weeks I was extremely tired. It did help with portion control and I don’t eat as much now. But I think I plateaued. You have to mix it up and maybe to two meals a day or one meal a day (OMAD).good luck
It’s so interesting how different people have had different results, but I haven’t heard anyone say that IF hasn’t worked. I may change it up now and again, but I have my follow up appointment coming up, so I need to crack on as is for now. Good luck to you too Olive ❤️❤️❤️
Hi Lynn, thanks for telling us about your new way of eating. Im trying to do this at the moment. Honestly, I know where your coming from with the night time cravings, that is my undoing as well. Something definately tells me that I have to have something naughty. I need to do it so that my clothes fit me instead of being unable to close zips on skirts/trousers. Lots of nice clothes I can no longer wear and not buying a larger size. Good luck and you are spurring me on. Love Jean ❤❤xx
Hi Jean, the evenings after my meal were the worse times of all. I have to say it’s got a lot easier Jean, so I hope you find the inspiration to get rid of that stuff, maybe just have a little in for when you really have to have one. I hope you join the journey, I know you have lots of lovely clothes, much love to you Jean ❤️❤️❤️
Hi Lynn,
This intermittent fasting is a good thing, and if you can exercise as well... the weight will fall off! I've been unconsciously doing it for years, but that is only because I'm not really interested in food as much as I was when I was younger. Biscuits, chocolate, crisps and other snacks don't really bother me either.... daft isn't it! You're right, it's a new way of eating... not a diet. Good luck with your journey 😊 ❤ xxx
Hi Mary, I’m actually getting to the stage where they don’t bother me either Mary, so that’s a bonus. And thank you for the support ❤️❤️❤️
@Nanna-M
❤️
Hi Lynn. Very interesting vlog. Good luck with it xx ❤❤❤
Thank you June ❤️❤️❤️
💖💖💖Hi Lyn,very interesting,wonderful idea that you are all on this healthy journey and encouraging anyone who is interested to do it with you all,I definately need to lose a lot of weight must try and do something about it for my health,I will be interested to see how you all go
Well there’s a few of us doing it, so if we all talk about how we’re getting on, you should get a rounded opinion, and then you can think about wether it’s something you may be interested in trying. ❤️❤️❤️
Fabulous little video Lynn, and how strange that I started intermittent fasting a couple of weeks ago too. 👏 I’m the same age height and weight as you so it will be interesting to see how it goes. I have dipped my toes in previously but for different reasons fell off the wagon. This time I am doing it 100% when I am able but if the odd day (or holidays) make it difficult, I’m going to accept it and then get back on when I am able. I totally agree with everything you say and I’m also doing it for the health benefits but I’ve already lost 4lbs which I am delighted with. I have a healthy snack idea if you are interested
. Each week I roast a batch of mixed nuts and seeds in my air fryer. I usually roast cashews, pistachios, walnuts, pine nuts, sunflower seeds and pumpkin seeds. You can use any of your choice. They are absolutely delicious and a healthy source of protein too. I have a small handful during the day if I feel “snacky” but also crush them to use on top of yoghurt and also in a mixed salad too. Good luck on your journey Lynn 🥰
Wow well done on the weight loss Susan, I’m the same as you, last Sunday tea time we went for an Indian meal, I just ate till I was full, I stead of eating everything in front of to me, and we’d finished before 6.30 pm but I enjoyed it very much. If I feel like a treat I’ll definitely try the roasted nuts, how long did you cook them for if you don’t mind telling me, I’m very interested indeed. I love nuts, and I do like some crunch on yoghurts and in salads. Thanks for the tip. On Sunday I’ll have done full up q weeks, so I’m hoping the scales will be kind lol. We shall see 🤞 ❤️❤️❤️
Thanks Lynn. It really is so adaptable isn’t it and I too don’t feel deprived at all. We had our two little granddaughters to stay last weekend and that was a bit tricky, but I did my best and got back into the routine again on Monday. Regarding roasting the nuts (the recipe came from a chef at a Health Retreat video). You can roast them in the oven the same way as making granola and give them a quick shake. I do mine in the air fryer on roast for around 5 mins again keep checking and shaking. The natural oils come out of the nuts and give a lovely roast flavour. I hope you like them too. I usually store mine in a jar once cooled and use during the week as required. Pop some in a bag and lightly crush and top your fruit and yoghurt - delish 🥰 I do have another recipe for a fruit compote that is super easy too. It’s made with beetroot juice (sounds rank I know 🤣) but you don’t taste it and it’s full of healthy vitamins, chia seeds and frozen berries defrosted. I make this for the week too, top with Greek yoghurt and crushed roasted nuts - so good 😍
Well done lynn,xx❤❤
Thank you ❤️❤️❤️
Hi Lynne - Unfortunately I love breakfast so the fasting is not for me but I did lose almost 2 stone just altering my diet and cutting out things that aren’t good for my cholesterol. I don’t have carbs every day and serve my meals on a small plate which helps with portion sizes. It works for me but I enjoy hearing about your way and look forward to seeing what you eat in a day ❤❤
I know a few people that need to eat in the morning, otherwise they feel sick, but thankfully I’m fine with it. It’s lovely to hear that you’ve managed to lose weight in your own way, a way that suits you. I’ve reduced my portions a lot ❤️❤️❤️
Thanks Lynn...I am In for the journey of weight loss and health, with you..I have chosen the path of Lulus way on you tube and it really works for me...I have been a yoyo dieter for 30 years or more and have 10 kgs to lose. I just started 2 weeks ago and have lost about 5lbs and am feeling so much better. I will be 70 in February and hope to be at goal weight by then...anyway it will be fun for us all to do a weekly weigh in on Sundays!!! Mine will be 1st as I live in NZ 🙃
Wow that’s a really good start 5lbs, I hope I’ve lost as much when I weigh in on Sunday. I’ll look forward to seeing your progress Felicity, well done so far ❤️❤️❤️
The bloating is my biggest concern as it gets very uncomfortable. I don't know what I ate the other day but I was so uncomfortable and before anybody says anything, I dont eat a lot of biscuits or cake, it is just random. l have never really been a breakfast eater so I kind of do intermittent fasting. I have started having apple cider vinegar and drinking peppermint tea. Good luck Lynn and I look forward to seeing how you get on. Btw I don't think 3 biscuits a day is going to hurt you, blooming heck your nearly 70 got to have some pleasures.❤
My daughter is the same, and it’s more or less instant, her belly goes from flat as a pancake to 7-8 months pregnant. We couldn’t work out what was causing it so she payed for a food intolerance test, and the results were unbelievable. It might be worth you thinking about that for yourself, at least then you would know what to avoid. The IF is working for me at the moment and for the last 2 nights I haven’t even had the 3 biscuits, but I’ll see how I go on, once I’ve been back for the follow up appointment I’ll let myself have that little pleasure again for sure. Thank you Margot ❤️❤️❤️
Like you lynn, i thought i was fasting with my two coffees with two sweetners and coffee mate !!! 😂😂❤❤❤
Hahaha what are we like, never mind the thought was there, we’re on it now ❤️❤️❤️
Morning lynn.
❤️❤️❤️
A very inspiring video Lynn thank you I felt really cold the other day and was going to sit and curl up in a blanket and thought no and put that ABBA exercise video on and warmed up in no time. I am 76, I am wanting to lose some weight I lost three stone with SlimmingWorld then covid hit and I put it all back on I had kept it off for four years and find it so hard now trying to lose anything now ❤️
Fabulous Anne, it would be so easy not to do it, but you did, and I bet you felt so good after. Join us all if you feel like it, might help ❤️❤️❤️
