In want or in plenty, in times of challenge or times of calm, we always have reasons to be thankful.
This Thanksgiving, we again give thanks for all of our blessings and for the freedoms we enjoy every day. Our Founders thanked the Almighty and humbly sought His wisdom and blessing. May we always live by that same trust, and may God continue to watch over all of us and bless this beautiful planet we call home.
I tried your Hazlenut shake today, it is so good. Thanks for the recipe. I hope to have surgery in Feb...I figured it wouldn't hurt to start replacing one of my meals with a protein shake now. Congrats on entering your maintenance phase. Work it girl. :)
I think you look awesome! I can't wait to be 163...I know when I was skinny before everyone thought I was too skinny, I basically told them I feel great and it's rude to say that. I think you look great!!!
not to complain (lol, but i am) the last couple vis have been out of sync. it's distracting. what program(s) are you using for your vids? You should do a how-to youtube thing. After 211 vids, you are expert (assuming you figure this little blip out! lol)
Hey Amelia, Just wondering when you bought that snowflake tank top? If recently, I will try to find it at an Old navy out here. I would like to get it for my sons girlfriend for Christmas. My son calls her princess snowflake.LOL
Stop pulling on the clothes..lol You are not obese anymore so no need to still pull on the clothes trying to cover the fat rolls that no longer exist..You look great!!
P.S. I'm giving myself the same advice in this post..
Was just being honest I swear! That's why I thought it might be the lighting but was only bringing up the iron because of how many people lately I've met who have been iron deficient and really pale~ wasn't saying you were likely iron deficient or anything- just was checking in since you don't usually look pale to me! What can I say.. I get concerned cuz I care!
trust me you are not the only one and I thought I would address it in case people were worried. Your good chicka! I miss you, I need to call you this weekend...
Love the snowflake tank. I have snowflake underoos! I love stars too. What size is your tank top? A Medium? I need a 3XL, but I don't think Old Navy makes sizes that big. Do they?
Hi Amelia! I don't think you look pale at all! And your hair looks great! BUT I have to say, that halloween wig looked awesome too! You would look awesome as a brunette with the dark brunette bangs! I know, I know! You only wanted to hear what Joel had to say about your hair, lol... but omg when I saw that video I was like WTH!? lol You look fantastic both ways!
Hello Amelia!! I must admit while looking at you...before you said anything, I was like "she looks like she weighs 130 or something"! It's funny how the camera picks up what it wants! You also looked so slim and fit in the picutes one of the other "you-tubbers" had on her site...whoo-hoo!!
What will you do with ALL those extra clothes? Old Navy is classic for having the oddest combinations of patterns and colors...so retro! Happy Holidays Chica!!
just think amelia, when you have the upper body lift, you'll loose a pound or two there when the skin is gone! i agree, you don't look the weight you are, having said that, your tall too, the same height as me, so we would weigh heavier because of our bigger frames. you look great!!!
I'm new to youtube and have been inspired to post my weilght loss journey as well. Which I have to say is helpfull and very theraputic, plus listening to other people journery and you have been very informative to me. I'm at the very beginning stages, my insurance requires 3 months of medically suprervised diet plus, well you same old, just wanted to say hello and congradulations toward reaching your goal.
That tank is really cute on you. Your arms looks so skinny! Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if when you started working out again your weight continues to drop. May as well see how small you can get! Well, if you starved yourself you could get extremely skinny lol but I'm talking about working out hard and seeing what weight you naturally land on. I bet you'll hit 150lbs eventually. But maintaining 160 for the rest of your life would be great too! Keeping it off is what really matters now.
We are aroung the same weight @ 164 and just under 5' 6". Yet, I am far older with floppy arms! My friends say I am small enough. I would love to lose more weight. A friend called me stick woman cause she sees me as skinnier than I am.
I give away lots of clothes. My new obsession is second hand clothes. We need sweaters here in Massachusetts! I have twenty rejuvenated sweaters...from the St Vincent de Paul store.
the whole other people not believing that you are 163 thing...i think its because women always lie about their weight so everything normal sounds too heavy even though its real. also false media plays a part.
You are so inspiring. Your video was the first one that I watched on YT while doing research on the RNY back in January. It is hard to believe that you are one year post op and look how far you have come. I can't wait for my one year anniversary. Connie
WOW! I have been watching your recent videos and had never gone back to the beginning, but someone was talking about your skinny fantasies video so I went back and watched it. You look amazing ! What you have accomplished in a year is tremendous. Congratulations on all your success. Thanks for being a role model for all of us.
I was watching ur videos from the very beginning of ur journey getting caught up on ur story and I noticed that when yu were bigger yu wore make up and had a more vibrant hair color, but yu've admitted that now adays yu rarely fix urself up.(Although in this video yu look cute as a button.I really like ur hair.) Does this have to do with ur new confidence as a thinner person? What is the the psychology of it all? Wanting to understand changes the mind goes thru. I like your openess & honesty.
Well, Joel had a heart to heart with me and let me know that my natural face was his fav. I now fix up in cute sexy clothes and sometimes makeup. I don't feel like I have to compensate for being big anymore
u look so hot. a short haircut would look so nice on u .. sorry just got out of hair school soo all i see is hair everywhere.. lol so far i lost like 2 lbs in 2 days.. i did not starved myself.. ate a lil . and i worked out .. i sure know 1lb was water weight becouse my scales say so lol .
oh my heck, yes! I can absolutely picture her with a Katie Holmes pixie (though she's grown it a bit lately) or ooh ooh! Victoria Beckham's spunky style! Amelia, with your spunky style (and you obviously are brave, what with all those funky cool colors you've gone with!) you could really carry that off. It's just hair, honey ;) Love your vids.
Joel likes short hair, but not like really short. He doesn't like long hair or curly hair either. I am not just obeying him, I just want to make sure I get his attention
Since you mentioned Thanksgiving and not having to worry about what to eat, I have a question. You're just over a year out now. Can you eat pretty much normally? What's your average meal like now a days?
Also, and this is gonna sound silly, but the way you fold your arms over your stomach. That's on my list of things I look forward to being able to do one day. lol. I guess it's the little things.
I can eat about anything, i avoid bread and pasta but I can have a bite or two to satify the taste. I eat about a cup or less of food in a meal. Like about 6-8oz of soup solid food I eat less like 2-4oz
Still eating small, but more than in the beginning for sure
You look great Amelia!

You don't look like you weigh 163! You do look like you are in the 120-130's. Why? Because it takes muscle to carry a large body for so many years.
