My Walking Pad from Amazon, I’ve been so happy with it and not one problem at all! I highly suggest that you get one with a handle that can be folded down or left up – it is very easy to get disoriented without the handrail in front of you on a walking pad as they are not as wide as a normal treadmill:
If you’re looking for something you see me use often, including Auntie Nono’s, our Blackstone Grill accessories, the Southern Biscuit Company Formula L Biscuit Mix, my meat chopper and lots more; you’ll probably find it here:

I made the first two recipes and they were both soooo good ❤ thank you for sharing
No need to apologize! We are all, or are going to be, in the same boat, no matter our figure or size. I love how quick and easy these healthier recipes are, the subs you can make, and all the ideas you share when you are preparing your meals❣️❤❤
Praying for you as you are on this journey ad you pray for us that will join you. We will go together ❤😅
I can't harley watch you because you are wasteful
First recipe, chef’s kiss 😘. Can you please share the name of your skillet? Thanks for sharing
I'm 71 yrs old and never tasted an artichoke and have no desire to.
Its so true. You are what you eat.and it does matter what you eat. 😊.
Momma Mel thanks for talking about eat healthy and changes that we go through at a certain age. I’m about the same age as you and I’m trying to adjust my eating to a healthy lifestyle. Thanks for talking about the walking pad because, I didn’t know that it even existed. I always thought about a big bulky treadmill but, I don’t have the room for it in my house. So that walking pad might be just what I need. So when you talk about these things you never know who it might help. Thanks for sharing. I love the veggies and chicken stir fry. I can’t wait to try that. 😋😋😋😋
A lot of us menopausal ladies could use some of these ideas! Great video!
I enjoy your videos and your genuine spirit. You are beautiful and I love watching you and you remind me of my mom and aunt. You make your videos feel like we’re family and I appreciate that!! Thank you so much for the recipes. I needed some healthy recipes too! ❤
Are capers in the fish family and what do they taste like?
Mel I you don’t have to worry shout your figure you look great girl! God bless you!
I love you being your authentic self! I’ve eaten a clean diet all my life and it works for your health and happiness. Great easy meals! I would put a splash of white wine in the last med dish for more flavor. Alcohol burns off. Thx Mel.
i need to lose 60 pounds. i will try your awesome recipes. very excited to lose what i can thanks mel
You are doing great. Keep up the good work on your fitness journey. You can do it. 👍😊
Thank you for sharing your struggles. I found out last year I was borderline diabetic. I’ve had high cholesterol for years, so does my whole family. But being diabetic scared the heck out of me. I am down 15 pounds, cholesterol down to normal, and no longer borderline diabetic. I enlisted the same changes; 30 minutes everyday on a walking pad and lowering carbs. It really does help! Hang in there 🙌🏻
Mel they all looked so good. I'm glad you shared with us about trying to cut back on calories, I've been trying to also. And you're so right ~ I didn't realize how many calories I was consuming 🤔. Thank you much and God bless you & yours💞
I struggle with my weight also so I appreciate the low carb recipes and your suggestions!
I grew up not eating veggies so now as an adult I don't eat them and I need to change! But I need to have ideas of what to make or the produce will go bad. So I've found your channel and I appreciate how you give us tips along the way. Plus your accent reminds me of my family- Thank you for being you 😊
I think your doing amazing and wow what a inspiring video, every little step is a step I think you just trying to be more aware of what you put in your body and just doing a few extra steps is a huge deal! Thanks for being real that's what I truly love about watching you! Realness goes such a long way and truly inspiring for others incredibly happy for you and your new choices of just awareness ❤
No judgment at all just helpful tip cutting veggies skin side up dulls your knives, also I cut all my Bellpeppers in half just gut inside with hands no waste of any of veggies ❤
I really appreciate this! I’m on a weight loss/get healthier journey as well. It’s good for the whole family. My children who live at home are 17 and 21. They have seen my weight go up and down over the years and I’ve always feared passing on my heaviness to them. They eat whatever I prepare or they are welcome to make something on their own.
I enjoy so many of your videos Mel!! I’ve spent the last hour searching through video after video looking for the link I remember you posting for a meat subscription box. Of course I can’t find it anywhere and I know I saved it someplace! I’m hoping someone can point me to the right video or tell me the name of it, thank you so much!!
I do love listening to you talk, you remind me of my hometown in southwest Georgia. Your recipes are delicious and healthy. And I love cooking the food you cook ❤
Appreciate your honesty and openness. Going through the same battles now and some days can be discouraging so I am thankful to know others are going through the same stuff. It's possible to overcome and making small changes seems much more manageable to me. Really enjoy your recipes and enjoy your videos.
I'm glad you are finding some sustainable changes that work for you. 😊 I'm currently working on not eating out as much as I had been.
Hey MommaMel! I absolutely love your channel and I never miss your videos. I always look forward to Sundays to see what you’re cooking. I’m so glad you are showing us some healthy recipes. I lost 50 lbs a few years ago doing keto. I’ve kept about 30 lbs off but I’ve let myself backslide so I’m now back on a healthier lifestyle doing a lot of the same things you are. I work in the school system as a special education paraprofessional so now I’m off for the summer and plan to get even more serious with my eating and exercise since I have more time and energy. I try to walk my dog every morning and trying to just sit less and move more.
I wanted to let you know I have done the “walk away the pounds” walk at home system off and on for years. There are several of their videos on YouTube that you can do when you want to change things up from your walking pad. There’s no dancing just 4 basic steps that are easy and low impact. I don’t know if you have any dumbbells or stretchy chords but you can do that too to see results a little sooner than walking.
I’m so happy for you on your healthier journey. I’m right there with ya sister! We can pray for each other and others working on getting healthier.
Love ya, Missy
Thank you for your honesty. You are right about calories. As we get older , we need less because our metabolism changes and slows down. So we need to exercise and eat less calories. Your heart is as big as your fist so it gets overworked when we are too heavy.
Thank you! You are a pleasure to watch! Share whatever you want! It’s your channel and plenty of us appreciate YOU! ❤❤
Good for you sweet lady!
4:20 145° internal temperature for chicken? I believe that's incorrect. The suggested internal temperature for chicken is 165°.
Age gets us all. It started at 60 for me. I found myself getting more sedentary and not really cooking the high calories meals anymore. So girl we all understand and glad you are getting more healthier. I do a lazy keto most days and eat only 2 full meals a day. I still have to make a fattening meal for hubby's dinner when he gets home from work. I make myself mostly vegetables.
Mama Mel, I needed that laugh!!! Been watching a trial for 8 or 9 weeks. So needed this time with you!!! Butt crack got me 🤣🤣🤣
❤❤❤ I am soooo proud of you Mel !!
I also LOVE ❤ your show! I love the meals you fix, and watching you cook! ❤
I am 63 & am trying to get healthier too! I cant wait to make these three chicken dishes! ❤😊🎉🎉🤗🤗🙏🙏
Cheering you on! I love you!! 💞💞💞💞
For my peppers, i just do side x 4 and bottom, then trim out the white parts leftover (if necessary).
Love you Mel! PS, your hair looked great in the intro!
Also, don't apologize for trying to be healthy! I wish i had the ambition to do that. Good for you!!
Oh Mel, I don't mind you sharing your fitness journey at all. I'm right there with you trying to get this older body moving and eating better. All these recipes look delicious. Thank you so much for the inspiration to do better! Love from Texas ❤

Thanks for sharing. There are many right there with you including myself. I also have a few kids that have chronic health conditions and we are all trying to eat healthier and cleaner.

I just love all your videos and am constantly inspired to cook better and eat better. You are doing so well and I'm proud of you for sharing your videos and your journey.. would you mind sharing the type of walk pad you are using and how you like it? It looks like something I might even be able to use!! I will continue to watch all the videos you share with us.. Thank you.!
Don't be sorry I know that you're encouraging women and I have been on a diet and have lost 25 lbs. So to see you cooking some low carb stuff is great, please 🙏 don't be sorry you're taking care of yourself…. love to watch your videos. Take care and God bless you and your family. ❤🙏🙏🙏
