I Lost 10 Pounds! What I Eat Over 60 To Be Fit & Happy On My Diet
Вставка
- Опубліковано 20 вер 2024
- Hi! I want to share what I eat to lose weight and show you my new summer clothes haul and try-on. I had so much fun taking you to Target with me...I also shopped online at Amazon and Nordstrom's Rack. I wanted to do this vidoe even though I gained 17 pounds this past year and someone suggested I not wear florals. Well, I tell you the story of my Mama's weight and how she put it in my head that no matter what...we all deserve pretty clothes that make us feel good...no matter our size. To lose confidence in one’s body is to lose confidence in oneself. I have lost 7 pounds this past 3 weeks and I am feeling very hopeful I can drop the rest soon. I am anxious to show you my summer clothes 2 months from now at hopefully a healthier weight for me! My goal is 138 pounds. I am 5'3.
Thank you for your love and prayers for Bill and thank you for sharing this journey with me.
Love you to the moon and back,
xxoo Susan & The Dez

As a type two diabetic on insulin my doctor told me I was never going to be able to take the weight off. I am 76 and it would be impossible so just try to eat healthy. But I am tired of being so over weight. So I learned all I can about Keto and intermittent fasting and I started doing it. I've been at it for two and a half weeks now and down 13 pounds. Not nearly as good of results as some women who lost 23 in one week. But it is a loss just the same. It has not been difficult at all. I was hungry at night but I did not cave in and it was tough for that but after several days that too went away. My blood sugar is doing fantastic. My 13 pound loss makes me so happy because it encourages me to keep at it. The intermittent fasting I LOVE. I don't eat anything after dinner until noon the next day and then I eat two meals a day. No snacks. Extremely low carb. I am not hungry and I feel better, I have more energy and I am able to reduce the amount of insulin I take. My goal is to get off insulin completely. Like your mom, someday I hope to try on some really cute clothes and be the size I used to be so long ago. I'm going to do it. I go back to that doctor in July and boy I can't wait for her to see what I have done.
My mom is type 2 diabetic and went on keto Jan 1st. She’s lost 30 lbs.
She’s thrilled with it.
Keep going girl, you’ve got this!
I am also a type 2. I suspect a dietician would not be happy that you are not eating at least a small breakfast, a small snack between breakfast and lunch and another between lunch and supper. A weight loss of 2 or 3 pounds a week is a lot more realistic for the long haul. Walk, walk, walk or whatever else kind of exercise feels good. I have been a type 2 for over 20 years, and have kept my a1c at a consistent level. It is a lifelong journey. Your attitude will determine if it is a life of deprevation or just excellent new foods and recipes. You go girl!
Oh congratulations Belva!!!! well, that doctor was wrong!!! I am so happy for you!!!! I hope your new week is a great one and keep us posted on how you are doing!!! Love from me and Desi
Belva, I am so totally proud of you! Like you, I am hoping to keep losing by eating healthy. Hugs, Toni.
congratlations on your weight loss and sticking with keto. I love keto and IF too.
I was your mom's size last July, 245 @ 5'1". Then I joined keto so I could see my great granddaughter grow up. I now weigh 190 and still going down. I feel so much better and can play with her so much more than last summer. Bless you.
Congratulations! You did it! I'll admit I'm a little bit jealous. LOL but inspired. Thank you good luck.
What a fabulous video. I just got myself some new tops and I will be 78 next week. It makes me feel so good to look nice and glamorous even though I am a widow. I do it for myself. One time my doctor’s nurse asked her why I was so dressed up. I couldn’t believe her comment. I never wear flour sacks for any occasions, even being at home, I say always makeup and a great wig and one can be anything and go anywhere. Keep up your great videos and give that little Desi a kiss for me. Happy Spring!!!
Great!
Years ago I worked with a women in her 70's on her 3rd bout with cancer. She taught me so much. She always looked so nice. She said getting up and getting ready was her way of being thankful for another day. I have never forgotten that. I am sure you are inspiring others. Take care- Sue in MI
Yes women can really be cruel to each other. We need to lift each other up. Love your videos.
@@marvindanny436 Hi
@William Sharman I’m doing wonderful William, thanks for asking 😊
I cried with you when you talked about your mother. I feel the same way you do
Me too! Tears.
Truth.....this Friday I turned 67 and because of watching your videos for make up tips and your beautiful clothes you have been buying I actually bought my first bottle of makeup in 3 years. I bought a new cute top and a bottle of perfume. I thought my husband was going to faint. He mentioned to me a few weeks back that he felt I had given up and that I didn't care anymore how I looked. Well truth, I had given up, it was all to overwhelming, but after all of this binge watching of your videos I decided you are right about it all. I'm going to be proud of myself in spite of my weight and my age! If we were neighbors I would beg to borrow that pink top!!!! LOL You looked stunning in your new clothes!!!!! XO
Reading your comment truly touched my heart. You so deserve to take care of yourself. You do so much for others, it's time for you to shine. Sending love and support from Michigan-Sue
@@animalrescuegeek What a lovely thing to say! 🌹Thank you for your encouragement! My Daddy use to say, "well if the barn needs painting, you better paint it!" so here I go with the make up and hair......👍👩🎊🎉 I love that you care for animals👏👏👏👏
YOU GO, LADY!!! YAY FOR YOU!!!!!!
@@dannagordon9618 THANK YOU! Dana!!! 'You're so sweet and "Cheers to you" too!!!! Have a great week!
You know what I saw when I viewed your video? You, in your OWN house, beautifully decorated, you smiling and thrilled about the purchases you made with your OWN money. When I was married, my husband used to buy things that I could not relate to, he had his study, it wasn't my style, and I had to amend my decorating choices and my wardrobe choices for him. I did that, and now I don't. I am free, it is hard and scary to be single but no one judges me any more, and that is wonderful. I loved the green top, by the way it really made your skin glow and your eyes pop! Lovely to see you again, Susan, have a great week! (Never saw Bridges movie, I dislike Clint Eastwood, huge cheater in real life, I know I'm a grump.)
You made me feel better today. I struggle with my weight, but I am blessed to have a husband of 43 years. He tells me I'm beautiful almost every day. Love your orange blouse and skirt. So pretty and feminine.
Thank God for your husband every day! I've been without for 40 years. Never has God put the right man in front of me. Not once!
You are one of the very few women that their husbands pay attention to what love and care. Appreciate them!
@@dannagordon9618 maybe the Lord did put the right one in front of you, and you overlooked him, I don't know, but it's not God's fault that you no doubt had the wrong man in your life. As I have. But don't blame God for that. LOL I believe with all my heart the devil arranged my marriage. I had the devil for a husband!
I can’t stop crying, thank you, I don’t have the words . I have been having trouble I have so much weight to lose like your mama, it’s like I’ve been praying not feeling good about myself it’s like God put your video here to say to me “you are my child wonderfully made”. Thank you Susan for you love snd your passion .
Just read yr comment. Start today. Start now. Dont eat after 6 then eat at 10 or even 12. Drink water to fill you up n hydrate. I am losing a pound a week sometimes bit more. It will take time but keep going. Get rid of the bad things in your kitchen lol! Then u are not tempted. Good Luck to you and me!
Update: my weight is coming down slowly. Even a quarter lb sometimes and am happy. Even if it is the same fr a few days that's ok. The fasting works! I have 2 meals n a little carbs between 10 n 6pm. No snacks but a square of dark chocolate and a wee walk once a day when I can. How are you getting on? Keep going! You are worth it. If u have a bad day just get on it again the next. Do not beat yourself up. Good Luck! Kx
Marielee, first of all you ARE loveable and beautiful just as you are--,.to your Creator, family and friends But if you want to change, I just want to mention with the IF ( the intermittent Fasting), there is no limit on what you can eat.(more impressive results with fewer calories of course) You only have to restrict the times during which you can eat. And for 8 of the Fasting hours, you can. sleep through those hours anyway!😄😎🤗
@@KaraLey98 thank you so much , I am trying the intermediate fasting it’s 16 hours 12 hours or 14 or 16 hours I believe it’s 16 hours is that correct I am definitely going to try that. Thank you very much for your encouraging words. Thank you again very much very very much💕💕
Love the fashion show! No one deserves to feel like less because they carry some extra pounds. Glad you shared that message. Health is important, but so is feeling good about yourself and feeling accepted just for what you are.
Yes, I love your comment. Tks.
You make me tear up, Desi makes me giggle. I lost 160 lbs on Slimfast. I told myself the whole time that Reeses Buttercups would still be around when I got to my goal. But I didn't want sweets when I reached it. Loved the floral skirt and rust top!
Oh Mary, what a wonderful accomplishment!!!! I need to lose l00...ugh! I know you feel so good about all of it, you appearance, your health and your outlook on life for the future. Sending a hug! Wow!!
Yes, I loved the rust and peach smocked blouse the best! Beautiful!!! Susan, I stopped buying Old lady comfy shoes years ago and now don't have a comfy pair in my entire shoe collection that spans an entire wall!!! I'm gonna buy some like your new red ones! I can feel them right now! Ahhhh.
What a beautiful memory of your Mom’s joy of “those pants” . Your passion is beautiful.
Wow how rude for someone to tell you to not wear florals but I can believe it. I’ve had people tell me not to wear frosted lipgloss and my response was when did I ask you. I do what I want and wear what I want. I think you look as lovely as ever. ❤️
I ALWAYS WEAR FROSTED LIPGLOSS OVER MY FROSTED LIPSTICK!!!!!!!! I love lip and cheeks. A little too much! You keep wearing what you want. It makes you feel Better, when you do!
@@dannagordon9618 Thank you and both my sister and I wear frosted lipstick and gloss too and always have. 👍
I love frosted lip gloss! You go girl! 💕💕💕
@@karenreiter533 Yay glad I’m not alone on this. Have always loved frosted lips 👄
@@dannagordon9618 what kind? I would love to find frosted lipgloss and lipstick!
I Can't Figure Out Who's Sweeter…You Or Desi!♥️♥️
Oh, my gosh...I have to say I love Desi best, sorry Suz! He is the most precious, clean, well groomed little darling of all time. If I could just hold him for a while. His overbite had me at "hello"! I adore him and I have even begged Susan to show him MORE in her vid's!!!!! I will play his parts over and over again! How can you love a dog over a video????? I don't know, but I Do!!!! Then I start thinking about his past and my heart melts more. Then To think that God brought these two creatures to each other...I believe God was holding Desi for Susan! It's not fate, but God. So, I got to see a miracle happen when they found each other.
Love your sense of humour. ‘Now there’s a look”. And “if you were going to join a cult that’s the dress I would buy”. Pretty funny Susan
You are wise Susan....Attitude really is everything!! Your editing....EVERYTHING...another beautiful video!!
So true. I agree, Susan your editing is amazing. I am sure Eddie is proud.
OH Tammy! I was just thinking about you! I went back to one of your videos you did on a silk blouse and ordered it! Bow-tie Neck Silk Blouse and I got it in champagne! There were a pair of pants you showed 2 years ago that I always wanted and they were all sold out at Nordstrom's! Well, I found them on Poshmark and they still have their tags! These items are classics and once I get an outfit in my head I am like a dog with a bone! You have given me so many wonderful ideas through the years! I just love you!
Those tops look nice on you, I had a look in my local op shops and to my surprise there was a top in similar colours and design as one of the tops you had. It felrt it was like v
Your Mama did a wonderful job! Your a pure soul Susan. Thank you for sharing.
The cult dress, Susan you are a riot. I totally see that and I like that dress🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
I also love those dresses, and yes, they do look kinda like they should be worn by cult members 🤷♂️😂🤷♂️ Also, if I ever give in and try one on, I NEVER look like I think I should in my imagination 😳 I am quite tall and a little skinny (5’7” and 120lbs) but these dresses make me look like a very large man with long hair 🤷♂️🥰 I guess I am just not meant for flowy antique-y type dresses 😂😂
You are so special. I so wish I had a friend who felt the way you do about so many things.
M
Don't we ALL?????????????????
Please show us when you make your simple dinners, even just the macaroni bake, like you showed us with the quiche! I think many of us would get great ideas just from watching the ingredients you use and the process of cooking. Cheryl at The Free Range Diva has started to do more cooking 'shows' - and I think it adds a great touch;)
Regarding weight, a wonderful friend always said “ Boys care, men don’t”.
Susan, I pronounce you an honorary Southern belle. You've got it in your blood, despite living in Michigan, and it becomes you. Your style, the way you talk about your mama, your porcelain skin, and the embracing of your old school ladylike-ness. Ooh, I just thought of another movie: Ladyhawke!
Oh I so absolutely agree with you. Susan you are such a lovely lady. Hope you’re having a blessed weekend. Stay safe 💕
Yes. I remember seeing that in the theater. It is one of my favs. Thanks for reminding me.📽
I agree! I thought the same thing just this morning!
Oh gosh....this is so sweet and means so much to me! I love you! I hope your week is going great!!
@@LittlePoet it's true,.Susan. Because of your grace you do seem Southern!🌴🌹
You asked for dieting tips in this lovely video. Before I eat anything I stop and focus on my stomach, asking myself if my stomach is growling for food or not. Many times I’m just bored and want to taste something. If I feel my stomach growling I will drink a big glass of water and see if that growling subsides. And I try not to purchase anything bigger than a certain clothing size. If it is perpetually uncomfortable to wear my clothing and I don’t have anything bigger to wear, then my discomfort is a reminder to reduce my portions.
Hi Susan. Love your channel. I just lost 43 lbs. Started my new way if eating last August after my annual doctor visit showed the beginning of some medical issues. We think alike. I'm doing my own "diet"thing....lots of salads, few carbs, protein and an apple a day dipped in a little caramel. Also intermittent fasting. It's working and is for you too❤️
I love your tips . I do the same thing in the clothing department . I don’t let myself hide in loose clothes etc. I wear my fitted stuff and if it feels uncomfortable it’s a constant reminder to be aware of what I’m eating.
Wonderful, bright purple viking!
Carbs are my friend! I eat oatmeal and fruit for breakfast almost every day, lunch is lighter but always has carbs, and supper is something of my choice. I learn not to fuss over specific diets. I find what works for me! Congratulation on your weight you seem very happy about it and that is the most important!
Yes..oatmeal with blueberries or strawberries ( frozen) and granola or chopped walnuts...it keeps your system " regular."
Susan you are the most gifted content creator on UA-cam. I too never had to worry about my weight when I was younger, but menopause and retirement have added a change I did not expect. It is so much harder to lose even a few pounds when you are older. The story about your mother was so touching and brought tears to my eyes. Oh, the Bridges of Madison County broke my heart. I guess as they say the right decision is the hardest decision. Love to you and Desi!💕
Wow, Marie...i have never heard this saying but now I will not forget it. It will be my motto for everything I do from now on! What a strong few words put together can do for someone! Thank you for writing this! you just never know who will see your posts and can change a person's life! it has made me cry, and it is so true! God Bless you!
Enjoyed the video, Desi looks so loving when you’re holding him, he’s truly home.
Thank you so much for your dieting tips. I'm ashamed to admit that I have about 100 pounds to loose! I am going to try really hard to get healthy. I have started practicing yoga and now that it is getting warmer up here in Maine I have started to go for walks. I love your videos. You are such an inspiration to us all! Sending you lots of love and positive vibes :-)
Me 2 🤔 lol
Please do whatever works for you and in your own way and your own time in the most nutritious way. Love yourself most of all..best wishes and hugs!
Never be ashamed life happens - I also have 100 lbs to lose, down 44 lbs in 4 months intermittent fasting skip breakfast and 2 solid meals lunch and dinner with a snack - cut out sugar and Processed carbs - lots of high quality protein good fats salads and veges
My name is Milli. I found your videos and I’m loving them. I’m almost blind and don’t get out much so watching your videos helps me feel like I have a friend. Love knowing what’s out there for our age so please keep posting, I really enjoy it. Please take care.
You are like a pastor, always telling me what I need to hear for the week. Thank you!
I have no dieting tips........
All I want to say is that I just adore you and Desi!
I would love 2 videos a week. PLEASE & THANK YOU😊
I will be 60 in May. I'm happy to be here. You are an inspiration in doing it gracefully.
I've only begun this video and I'm so excited. I love it when you take us shopping! We don't have a Target here in Canada. You are so beautiful and have an absolutely elegant style! Love you!! :)
Hi Susan and Desi. You look so pretty in your new clothes. I love the green embroidered tunic on you.
Thank you for reminding us that it’s ok not to be perfect. Every day is precious as we get older. Desi looks like a little meerkat sitting on your lap! He’s adorable ❤️xx
A great old movie is Arsenic and Old Lace with Cary Grant. It's hilarious! He's was a great comedian.
Cary Grant, I believe, is probably one of the top five most beautiful men in the world!
WOW you brought tears to my eyes, when you spoke about your mom. Love your videos.
Thank you so much, you are so kind! Happy weekend to you! Love from me and Desi
All you outfits are beautiful on you. Growing up, until my Mother passed, she criticized my weight. She commented on the flesh above my jeans when I sat down. She criticized my hair, my skin, my personality. She was abusive and it brought me to despair. I am 5’3 and weighed between 140 and 130 for my entire life. This was a difficult topic for me, but much needed. Thank you...
Sending love and blessings to you. Love shouldn't be transactional, especially from a parent.
@@CampMom2012 thank you kindly
We are taking the 10,000 step challenge at work. Walking really helps when dieting.
You are such a breath of fresh air. Diet you do you! Whatever works! There is no one size fits all.
The peach blouse with the skirt... Wow! Beautiful!
I believe the best diet that works is the intermittent fasting, You eat for 8 hours of the day and the other 16 hours you fast. Like eat all your meals from 10AM to 6pm and fast the other 16. My sister has lost 20 pounds in 3 months and it is really working for her. The only diet that has ever worked for her.
Agree!
Is you sister doing law carb, counting calories too? That sounds so doable....good for her 😊
Can you eat carbs etc on this way of eating? 😊
@@angelbabesuz1612 , on IF? YES, you can eat carbs. Look it up on the internet or youTube, since there is info everywhere about it, and good luck, should you decide to commit to it. I'm going to start again. I only did it before for the insulin, but now, I gained some weight over the winter,, so hope it will help.
I truly love the story of your mom it was such an amazing and touching story 💜
Touched my heart again
Isn't it a shame we didn't know about the carbs back when your lovely mother had a little toddler named Susie
Just a couple of slices of bread a day not eaten and it would have made a difference
BLESS you for sharing. I'm wiping my tears. 🌹💜🌺
It seems like so many people gained weight this past year, but I lost 15 pounds, only because I found out my husband had a 6-7 year affair ( friends with benefits) he said she meant nothing to him, we are in counseling now, he is remorseful, and regretful but I can’t seem to move on, everything is a trigger to me, I’ve cried every day, it’s going to be a year this April, covid did not help matters, isn’t it sad now when I see couples walking outside I get so emotional!, movies make me cry, this year we will be married 37years, his affair was from 2011-2017, she was a divorced woman who thought my husband was going to leave me for her, so I don’t have any tips for losing weight especially the way I have, not a healthy way at all, sorry to be a Debbie downer, but all your videos bring tears to my eyes
Lorraine M... sending you love and a hug, Lorraine. ❤
This is so heartbreaking. Your world has been rocked to the core. The daily stress you are dealing with and the hit to your confidence, there are just no words. Please know there are many of us out here that care about you and what you are going through. I will keep you in my thoughts and wish for you to find peace.
I can't say anything better than these 2 ladies, but I will keep you in my prayers, I promise you! You do have a tough road to climb, but DON'T LET HIM GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! FIGHT FOR HIM!!!!!!!!!!! HE IS YOURS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! forgive HIM, GOD WILL GIVE YOU WHAT YOU NEED TO DO THIS.
As far as diets go, I’m trying to figure it out myself. I agree, attitude is a big part of it. The white blouse and the pink wrap blouse are the stars of the show, just gorgeous! All of your choices are very pretty and that sage green is a very becoming color on you. I’m so happy Spring is finally here, it’s my favorite season. Have a terrific week! ~Susanne 💕🌷🌷🌷
What a nice surprise ! A new show ! I’m cleaning out my closet and needed something fun to watch ! It always lifts my spirits ! Thank you !
Can I have your discarded clothes. LOL I have more clothes for somebody that doesn't have any. I can't wear but a very few of them. I have gained so much weight. I feel like a blob. When you're a blob there's nothing that you can wear that will look good on you. You just have to try to cover it all up maybe with a quilt or a blanket.
Love your thinking on “dieting”. You looked fabulous in each and every outfit, you always do because you carry yourself with confidence in your choices. ❤️
Susan, years ago I starting comparing myself to thin women like Princess Kate, Hollywood celebrities, and models. Fast forward I went from a healthy size 12 to a size 4 and I am 5 ft 7. After my weight loss I felt extremely depressed. I looked in the mirror as a size 4 and saw myself looking wrinkled, sad, and the brightness I once had in my eyes seem to fade.. Today I eat in moderation whatever pleases my taste buds and I practice intermittent fasting. I look and feel better than I have in years. Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful video with us and you look absolutely fabulous in all your Spring outfits. Lots of Love to you and Desi ❤️🐿
OH Cynthia, congratulations for finding your way to a successful way of living and eating!!! I felt a lot like you did...always feeling I didn't measure up to Mondonna's figure...and I got too thin. It's very complicated for us women but as I have grown older being healthy is #1....and that sort of clears a lot of things up! Love to you from me and Desi
Susan, I am so glad you addressed eating habits as this has been a huge problem for me this past year. You have been able to go out more than I and have a beautiful, little dog to walk so I can understand how far ahead you are. I can only aspire to get better now that restrictions have lessened and I am listening to every word you say. Thanks so much!
Thank you, it is a water Lily from a pond in Bermuda
I guess I’m late to the game again as always. I usually watch my UA-cam videos late at night as I have done since my husband is passed away. I really enjoy your channel. I love that white floral skirt you had on and also the green shirt. You always look great and put together. Very classy. As you know you do not look like you are in your 60s. I don’t know what you’re doing but keep doing it. I haven’t treated myself to anything stylish or new clothes since My husband was dying. It was five long years out of my life. Right now I’m still sporting my sweats that I was wearing before his death. I can’t seem to change my attitude about myself. Maybe I’m not ready to change yet ! I’m not too sure how to change the way I feel about myself and my life ! It’s very hard to find yourself when you were with somebody so long !
Just start with “one day at a time”. Put on makeup and a cute outfit and go to the grocery or pharmacy. Your entire mindset will change.
Awwww, Your are an absolutely lovely lady. Your clothes were gorgeous on you. Your story about your Mother was touching. Made me smile from my heart.
You are a beautiful person and have a beautiful soul. Love your videos and look forward to them every week . Desi is adorable 🥰
Thank you so much for sharing your memories. You are such a lovely person.
I'm late to the party but I just discovered your channel and I'm planning to watch every video no matter how old they are. I so appreciate your vulnerability and honesty.
Thank you my dear sweet friend!!!!
So nice to see you and Dezi again. That was a touching story about your Mom trying on her first pair of pants, what an achievement to lose so much weight. Your tops are gorgeous and look so good on you. Have a happy week Susan!
This video made me cry. You have an inner light that shines from your eyes when you smile. You make me smile. Stay happy.
You looked beautiful in everything you bought- I love the way your hair came out too!!! Keep up the good work. Your Mom sounds like she was a wonderful women❤️
When you were in Target and looked at the the ivory lace dress and said it looked like something you’d buy if you were going to join a cult I got a kick out of that. Reminded me of the Gunne Sax dresses Jessica McClintock used to design. She died last week at age 90. I thought she was younger than that but I’ll soon be 66 so time flies I guess. I lost ten pounds on the KETO diet in May. Didn’t gain any weight back until last month when we had the deep snow and two week cold snap. I feel better and so does my back when I keep my weight around 150.
I am sorry to hear she died! I wore one of her dresses (long, white prarie dress with thin straps, baby blue ribbon and blue flowers) to my very first high school Homecoming dance and first date with my now ex husband. I just turned 60.😊
Your videos make me so happy. I look forward to you and Desi all week. Thank you.
Desi looks so happy...you look beautiful in everything
You look so beautiful in your new Spring clothes! Thanks for sharing Susan!
So happy to see you..... I haven’t seen a new notification for you in awhile. Your videos are the best.... they make me think and give me courage. ❤️
Sometimes I don't get a notification either but she posts a new video every Saturday night. I just have to look for her newest uploads. Hope this helps.
Complex carbs are very healthy. It’s the refined carbs that are not. So you’re doing great, congratulations on the weight loss.
Can you please tell me what you mean by complex carbs? 🙏🏻
Loved your story of your memories of your mother! Also, thanks for the encouraging words of growing old with grace! I'm going on 76 years, and loving every minute of being with myself!
Love all those tops and the music with the chimes is sooo uplifting. Merci beaucoup!
I love your sense of humor, Susan! That creepy 'cult dress' & unsweetened creamer really got me laughing...'red wine for my heart & my sanity' too. Your new outfits are so very lovely! I especially love the retro peach/burnt orange top you wore with a belt & a floral skirt- it's really very striking on you! Thanks for sharing your life, your home & your heart with us all! xx
You look fabulous and I love all your new clothes! I'm running to Target to get those jeans now!
I love what you do for people by sharing. God is moving through you! ❤️
That’s good to know about black licorice. I love black licorice but haven’t really eaten any in years. I’ll have to try it.
“No man ever kicked me outta bed.”
“It’s a myth that we have to be perfect.”
Truth!
This is my all time favorite video of yours Susan. That’s saying a lot because I love every video!
You are so lovely. There’s a lady like, soft and romantic aura to you.
I’ve worked hard my entire life to stay on the thinner side. All the women on my moms side of the family are overweight, including my younger sister.
I knew I was gaining weight in 2020, even though I exercise daily because I felt it in my clothes. Too much stress eating.
I’m up 15 lbs. I was depressed for days when I finally weighed.
Highest weight of my entire life.
I turn 60 in June.
I am determined to feel back to my normal again.
I just started watching my eating on March 1st.
I haven’t weighed yet this month because I lose weight slowly. But I’m determined!!
I just have coffee in the morning.
Piece of fruit at lunch.
Dinner is anything I want. Dessert is a chocolate protein bar.
Late snack is a 100 calorie popcorn
And a 90 calorie healthy choice fudge bar.
Love to you and Desi!!💕💕
You are so wonderful and kind. Oh 100 cal POPCORN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love popcorn!!! I forgot about that! I love you!!!!
You always look so beautiful in everything you wear you are very elegant, I love watching your videos it makes me very happy to always see when I get another one of your videos thank you so much for brighten my day 😊
What a lovely memory of your mom. How proud she would be of you! I loved your Target purchases. Thank you for brightening our days (dear Desi too- just love that boy!) 🐶❤️
Oh yay! Seeing this video is like a Sunny Spring breeze! Love all the things you got!! And every girl needs a red pair of shoes!! So excited to revisit Bridges of Madison County this coming week!!..That was a really important movie in my life "Pass the Kleenex"!! Thanks for the diet inspiration Sue's ((we all have the same story)) you look wonderful as always!! But your change in attitude "is" key!
“Beauty is as beauty does”, you are beyond beautiful. Internal beauty is such a rarity, and you are overflowing! I have become an instant fan!!
You have such a great sense of style. I always enjoy your videos❤🐕
I fell in May and broke my right foot. My daughter came and got me. She is taking care of me. I really don’t know what I would do without her. She deeds me good for me food. We have eggs, avocado and tomato toast. I’ve only been a fan of canned salmon. But, since being here at my daughters house, I have lost approximately 8 pounds! Rarely sweets. I even feel better! I adore your videos. They always touch my heart. Take care. ❤️
Love the blush pink blouse, button jeans and the beige sandals,I would wear them together.The outfits looked so pretty and comfy.Spring is finally here!💛
You’re so lovely with your try-one, attitude, gratitude and advice. Thanks to you I have purchased rose hip oil, white blouses, videos, books, stems, and those cute palettes and I don’t even wear makeup. I enjoy the expression and thought you put into your posts. We’re living the dream and I am excited for your evolution and contentment. Cheers!
Loved your happy, pretty choices! Just the thing to ring in spring (my favorite season)🌸🌷🌺
Susan, You are such a DOLL! What a Fun & Lovely way to spend Saturday Evening - Thank YOU so very much :) What a Beautiful story about Your Mama, Thank You for sharing that with us, too.
I lost about 53 pounds a few years ago. One of the things that helped me was checking the sugar content of my food instead of the calories or fat. It had to be naturally low sugar. I didn't outright ban any food, just ate moderately and made sure I had a little daily treat. I began to really taste my food again and enjoy it.
Agree..look at all the condiments, dressings, cereals etc and choose items without all the added sugars, high fructose corn syrup etc. Less of this junk really adds up
My son asked me what would you want if you could have anything and I said a girl friend. I found your program this week. Ism 78 Snd widowed 10 years and I feel very blessed to have found you. God answers our prayers on so many unexpected ways. God bless you for spreading son shine on all of us.
I am so thankful you found me...are you ready to go on some adventures with me and Desi? I can't wait to see everybody tomorrow with a new video...Tell your son thank you for asking that question! My love to you and yours always...friendship is a beautiful thing, Susan & Dez
The clothes are beautiful and you look gorgeous in them! What a precious story about your Mom.💕
I am so glad to find you on you tube! You are so warm and genuine. You are such a positive influence. I am 70 now and it is refreshing to listen to someone who is mature and beautiful with such good advice. I will be checking back often. Thank you for being here!
Susan, you looked absolutely Beautiful in all of your new clothes !
Oh I’m watching as I just commented but now I’m hearing about your mom. You made me cry, Susan. How very sweet of you to share it.
I’m 73 now. Was a talk thin beautiful (I was told) redhead. You motivated me to go blond. I love it. Still very active. Live in warm FL so I can be. Meeting my 5 yr anniversary as a breast cancer survivor on March 31st. Yes, gotta lose about 30 lbs. Thanks again for the motivation❤️
Oh Deborah! I am so happy you are blond!!! I am not sure why, but I just had more " pizzazz" going blonder! When my guy put in my low lights he put in too many so I went back last Monday and asked him to put back more blond highlights! NOW I am happy~!LOL!!! Congratulations on beating brat cancer! Thank you for being here and sharing so much love! xxoo Susan
YOU care for all people. Caring for others, and animals make life special and precious. God bless and you look so beautiful in your new clothes too.
Nice to see a fellow Aussie on your channel with you and Desi ........ Darrell Lea makes the best lollies and they are famous for their liquorice .. been around since 1927 !
Love all your blouses - especially the "Do not Wash" one !!! lol
Bridges of Madison County is one of my favorite movies! I've watched it a few times over the last 20 years and see something different every time. Your looking great Susan! I've been having a similar thought process around food. I'm trying to respect and honor myself more which includes enjoying preparing and eating healthy food. You Mom was so lucky to have you. It's funny how daughters end up Mothering our Mothers. And in the process end up more like close sisters. And yes women can be cruel to other women. I'm sorry your mother went through that. You were lucky because she did know a lot about self respect and healthy pride.... it shines in you. I salute her. Love to you and Desi.❤️😊🙏
I love that I found you. You are so inspiring 🥰🥰🥰😍
Fantastic, exquisite taste and such lovely sentiments. Who could ask for more? The highlight of my weekend. Thank you for sharing. 💕
The way you style your clothes choices is inspirational. You express who you are beautifully through your clothes, and you look lovely!
Most diets are all about eating less (aka deprivation), counting points, fasting, eating only between this time and that on and on. Wish I knew then (when I was 18) what I know now about food/diets. It wasn't till I changed "what" I ate that the weight began to fall off effortlessly. I eat ad libitum on a whole food plant based diet, have lost over 50lbs and couldn't be happier. Am no longer a slave to the scale and no longer struggle to lose or maintain my weight. I don't have to measure my food, count points or calories, or restrict portions. I just eat food the way nature provides it. And the real payoff is that I no longer struggle with arthritis, cystic acne or psoriasis.
Tears in my eyes,when you told about the first pants of your Mom. I am a little bit over 60 and listening to you, my some 5-6 kg overweight are not so scary or meaning soooo much anymore. My daughter loves me sooooo much, life ist wonderful all around, so I will loose that weight, some day, soon, easier than I thought Up to now. Thank you very very much for this Video. Its never too late to do something great for yourself. With highheels I am done because of osteoporosis. But there are pretty and healthy footwear out there. And I Love long wide skirts and dresses, like apron dresses. Now I sew those, declutter my wardrobe, esp. Jeans( I dont like them for a lot of years, almost after pregnacy) and pencil skirts and other clothes I wore with highheels. Its easier now, but I still have a lot to sew🥰
I also wanted her to jump out of the car and follow her heart, and like a fairy tale , live happy ever after😊 Clint would be worth taking a chance on 😀😀😀
Yes he would!!!
I agree! 😊
Susan I LOVE TARGET clothes and I am a fashion reseller! I love the blouses on you...just radiant! I have to admit I adore the dresses by WildFable and A NEW Day...I buy the maxi dresses with long billowy sleeves in bright colors. To me they are reminiscent of the 70's. I love your channel. Watching you is my comfort and I feel as if you are a friend. Thank you for all you do.
I struggled all my life with my weight. Four years ago, I became a vegan for ethical reasons after decades as a vegetarian. As soon as I stopped eating dairy, I lost nineteen pounds! I don’t miss anything I used to eat, and I know that no animals suffered for me to have a few quick minutes of a culinary experience. I’m at peace with myself.
Have been vegetarian 30 years, now working towards vegan, almond milk, dairy free cheese, margarine and yogurt. Sadly, there is much animal cruelty in dairy industry. Google it. Healthier lifestyle, and more compassionate for us animal lovers!
@@karendegraaf1146 - That’s great. There’s so many good options for vegans now, more so than ever before.
I wish vegans would list what they eat over a typical 3 day period.
@@karendegraaf1146 Dairy free yogurt? Do please tell me where to find it, the brand names etc, thank you.
@@KaraLey98 - Take a look at some UA-cam videos on vegan eating, vegan foods, where to shop, recipes...social media can help you out with ideas. Good luck to you!
Thank you! Like your videos so much🥰
Desi is such a joy he looks like he is smiling all
the time. You look terrific in your new spring
Clothes. ❤️
How fun. I live around 70 miles from The Bridges of Madison County. It would have been fun to see Clint Eastwood filming. 💗
Oh wow!!! That is so cool to know!!! I can't wait to start filming that video for us! I hope you like it!
Hi Susie. I watched your video on the TV in the bedroom this morning, and enjoyed it very much!! Your mother was a very wish woman. ENjoyed seeing your pretty new clothing, and hearing about what is going on with you and The Dez. I believe the slower I lose weight, the better chance I have of keeping it off!! Blessings, and love to you and little Desi...Mimi
Such a lovely story about your mother. Your new clothes are so pretty.
The memory of your mother's weight loss brought tears to my eyes. I felt your emotion.
