Your hair is getting longer, keep going 😂

We all smuggle in treats for the movies, lol

If you don’t like cauliflower rice, could you use something else?

When I first saw you using Optavia I was so inspired that I started the program also. My sister in law was my coach. This was 2 years ago after my mom died. I quickly lost 20 pounds and then within about 8 months, it all came back. I now have lost 10 pounds doing Weight Watchers, or just watching calories. I liked the fast weight loss, but I failed horribly at maintaining. I won't try that again. Thanks for all your videos! Good luck sweetie.

Best of luck 👍

Stress alone can increase cortisol, which in turn, increases blood sugar whether you've eaten any sugar or not. Have you tried taking berberine? It truly helps lower blood sugar over time and is totally natural. Have you tried bullet-proof coffee? Give that a try! I'm praying for Boomer! Take care.

I just love watching your videos. So good to see you and Scott again😀

Missing you! BLESSINGS!!! 💕💕💕

Wow! Really identify with most of what you said here!! Thank you soooo much for sharing! Congrats on the new thrift shop 🎉

Bless your heart, I know it's been a year since you posted this but I feel for you as far as Boomer goes 'cause I'm a huge dog lover. As for the whole 30, I have a suggestion if your overall goal is weight loss. I've read two books by a lady named Gin Stephens. The first is called Delay. Don't Deny. The second, Fast. Feast. Repeat. These are intermittent fasting books and I'm having great success both with weight loss and with inflammatory issues. I recommend checking them out to swee if it could work for you because it's not a diet and there are no bad foods.

I got some joggers in my box last week and ended up buying a second pair in another color. So comfy. I have them on now. I'd get the joggers.

What is this OBSESSION with weighing and measuring? A woman of your age and presumed experience should easily be able to eyeball portions by now!

I've had long term success with the Mayo Clinic Food Log. It's visual for me. It's health focused. It's sustainable. The base is fruits and veggies, rather than grains, although healthy grains definitely have a place. I can see the difference between what I think I'm doing--and what I'm actually doing. It helped me with planning and with making decisions through the day. Eventually, it became habit--a way of thinking. The weight came off slowly (about half a pound a week). And I learned a lot of "go-to" meals--from my own web recipe browsing--that I could make quickly and do quick shopping for. I've sustained it for many, many years now. It broke the yo-yo. Do you need that particular log? Not really. If you have a nutrition plan, you could create your own visual log--a series of categories and checkmarks. I did use a health coach to keep me committed. But it wasn't a health coach who was wedded to any particular plan. My goal was not to do a weight loss plan, but to do a sustainable lifelong basic nutrition plan that could be tweaked both for seasons and for seasons of my life. With the health coach, I discussed the plan, the goals, the steps, the wins, strategized how to get over the habits that were harder to break (chips!). Sometimes, I had to place food categories into a never group (yep, chips and sugary sweets), but eventually I was able to get to the point where I could enjoy a few. I also got used to feeding my husband portion sizes that were different from mine. I'm petite. I gain weight easily. I'm menopausal. He's got that kind of metabolism where he has to take in a lot of calories, or he loses muscle mass and body mass generally. Good luck with your health journey. You can do it. And, yes, basic nutrition isn't complicated. Advanced nutrition, yes. *Marketed nutrition* ridiculously complicated. Basic nutrition, no. It does have to be tailored to you--the portion sizes, etc.

I vote YES for the red sneaks! I bought some a couple of years ago and I can’t believe how often I pulled for them and they lifted my spirits every time I wore them. And the compliments abound. Glad to see your doing a box. Say hi to my buddy Scott for me too. 🥳

The pants look great

I have a vitamix it is a beast..you are right……it makes amazing sorbet made from just frozen fruit.

You need some parchment air fryer liners…they really make clean up so easy and would give you another time saver . That looks yum.

Fun video with your daughter. You are the UA-cam queen of thrifting!!! Now I can't wait to see the next video.

You look happy, and your excitement is through the roof. I have followed you since the beginning, I loved, loved, loved your clothing unboxing and I watched every video. you have always been enthusiastic about decorating or redecorating, you are talented and I'm sure you'll be successful with your new adventure. Can't wait for more videos!!!!

About 10 years ago, after years of living in yoyo diet culture, I began a ketogenic eating plan. Low carb, adequate proteins and fats, also eliminated processed foods and seed oils. In 6 months I lost 40 lbs. And have kept it off to this day. I eat this way all the time, if I have a treat ( ice cream,etc) I just start right back the next day. So easy and I’m never hungry. I’ve never counted calories, only carbs .

I love your stitch fix videos!

You are on the right track ! Full fat and low carb , whole food , love your channel ❤

Thank you Melissa. Really missed seeing you, so glad you’re continuing. I tried Optavia before and gained all my weight back. Excited to learn more about your new adventures. Love your channel.

My goodness. How can anybody afford stitch fix?

So good to see you, Marist, and Scott again ❤😊

Did you have inflammation while on optavia?

Old Navy has more flattering clothes.

Loved the video. Couldn’t really go wrong with any of them but hey what you love 💐

Looks great, Melissa and Casey! I hope you do well. Can’t wait to see how it goes for both of you!

Your food looks amazing Melissa! Can you please share the egg roll in a bowl recipe. I enjoy watching you and Scott 😊 congratulations on your sugar going down and best of luck on your new selling adventure!

Yay!!!! You’re back. Love the red tennis shoes and I think you’ll get a lot of use out of them. The last outfit was very nice on you. I wasn’t a fan of the colors for your skin tone with the leafy top (?) the green/ yellow one. The black pants are funky and if you like them keep them bc they look nice and are different ❤

I went to the Goodwill bins in Waco once but I haven’t been back. It was an adventure

Thank you so much for sharing! I needed this today!

Great healthy eating and you allowed yourself to go off a bit but just went right back to it!

Trader Joe’s has the best coconut aminos, it’s the only one I use. I’ve tried other brands but I prefer Trader Joe’s to other brands or soy sauce. I love the sweetness it gives. Love egg roll in a bowl. And the homemade almond butter looks so good. 🤗

You’re doing great Melissa! I definitely don’t see you as bashing Optavia. I think being on any plan will have different mental effects on all of us. But it’s great that you’re learning what’s best for you and moving forward. And you and Scott are so darn cute. Have a great rest of your weekend!

Sooo much FUN! Thank you Melissa and Casey🌻🦜🐦😍

I use a little plum sauce in mine…I don’t know if it’s part of Whole 30 but you might check?

Love this!! I am not bashing Optavia either, but after 5 years since I was on it, I am finally in a healthy place, eating food I buy and prepare and living an active lifestyle. I can say I’ve never been happier or healthier. Health is #1 and that is the reason to find out what works for each individual. Here for it all Melissa!! ❤❤❤

Love your new videos. I need to learn to cook healthier. I use a lot of cheese and sauces. I need to get back to basics. Thanks for a new recipe.

❤❤❤

How fun you girls are doing this together❤️ reminds me of something my mom and I would do!! The prices at my Goodwill stores are crazy high…even in the Midwest. I need to make a trip to the OKC bins. I have not experienced it yet. Love this video!! What a great haul!

That what my attic looks like…you want to come to WV? I am ready to declutter. We don’t have have bins here and our Goodwills are ridiculously priced. Now , when we go to estate sales around here, particularly when it is the guys we know, we will get twenty things and it might be ten dollars. Estate sales are better than Goodwills, thrift stores or rummage sales… You all did really well. My problem is I have done this for twenty years and never sold anything. I tell my family if something happens to us, just call an estate sale company , because my family are minimalists and I have always been a maximalist😳😂. Melissa are you still doing the church job too. Girl, you and your daughter have a lot of energy. ❤❤❤

I didn’t even know there was such a thing as Goodwill outlet???? I recognized those cream and red books…wonderful world of Knowledge?

thank you for your honesty.... I love listening to a podcast ' Half Size Me' she offers some great information without a diet plan

Hi Melissa! I loved the black joggers on you! I agree they look like a great travel pant. And the red sneakers are so cute! I love the pop of color and I think you might actually wear them more than you think. Overall I think this was a good Fix. Thanks for sharing with us!

I’m excited to see where God is going to take you on your new phrase in life.. no doubt it will be more amazing. 🙌

I’m so happy to see your videos again! Loved the last outfit, especially the red sneakers

I'm loving this new adventure you are on! Thank you for sharing it with us. Are you doing a website? I know you mentioned Whatnot, but I think that is live auctions, and I'm not comfortable with that. But I'd def ramble through your website. I can recommend Weebly for creating it.

Hi from Ohio enjoy our little state❤
