This is the best mindset. The main goal shouldn’t be to “lose weight” but to give your body enough to fuel itself, no more no less. The weight loss is just a happy consequence. :)

This is so nostalgic for me. In 2016 I lost so much weight in so little time too. I think I was size US 6 to 8 then i dropped to size 2 or even 0 in a matter of 2 MONTHS!! Ang dahilan: NASAWI AKO SA PAG IBIG! Hahahaha! Noon kasi imbes na umiyak ako, nag work out ako. I went trekking. I travelled. Now that I'm married, I'm back to size 8 and even 10. LOL! But sabi pa ni ate Raiza, ano man ang size, size 0 or size 10 man, i love myself. That's what's important.

Love this! This weight loss is very sustainable kasi it has become a lifestyle and not just a “rush” thing. I lost 9kgs since January/February this year. I do IF! Mainly to be healthy because I have PCOS, weight loss is only secondary. Thanks for this video, Rai! So empowering!

Hi Rai! So happy for you. I was also on a weight loss journey about the same time you started. Just to share, I did yoga daily, switched to Mediterranean diet (fruits, veggies, salads, fish, sometimes chicken). And lost the weight as well. YES! MOVEMENT helps a lot kasi hahanapin talaga ng katawan mo. Same here, nagulat din ako when I suddenly fit a size small when I try on clothes.

So happy for you and so happy for me too. I ate but I moved. Moving really makes a big difference. I didn't feel the burden of losing weight. I lost the weight without starving. I lost the weight and gained experiences, visited new places and had new memories. From 67kg at the start of 2023 to 58kg atm. Wew! Let's goooooo~

If you enjoy the physical activity, it helps a lot to maintain it as it does not feel “working out”. Me, i learned tennis and to enable me to play well, i added slowly some weight training and from 5lbs dumbbell i am now using 10lbs. My day isn’t complete if i dont move. I also do 30 mins walk/jog. I think i did not lose so much weight but i became stronger and my body looks better, toned and proportional.

Thank you ate rai. I’ve been struggling with my weight ever since I started working from home. I want to cry every time I buy my clothes. I used to be 45kg as a 5’0 now I’m 56 :(( I would always hate myself for eating alot but would get stressed out if I don’t eat enough. I’ll do my best to incorporate movement everyday!

So proud of you!!!! Let’s have a workout session someday. Love you!!!

You looked beautiful before and now! Congratulations on your hard work - you’re glowing 💕. I have to share bc I went through something similar. I was always heavy my entire life. I started getting serious about my health and trained for a race. That’s what jumped started my weight loss. I lost 30lbs in about 3 months bc of the training schedule. I continued to lose weight afterwards. I wasn’t dieting or doing heavy exercise but I was still losing weight. I kinda thought it was because of my lifestyle changes. Towards the last few months I dropped weight pretty quickly. I decided to do some blood work and realized I had an overactive thyroid. Something really common with women in their 30s. So anyone looking to lose weight, I recommend getting blood work done prior to make sure you’re okay. I’m now working with my dr to normalize my thyroid levels.

it's so important to promote this healthy mindset on weight loss. thank you ate!

Weeeh the vlog I needed right now. I just started walking last month and it's true na we should listen to our bodies and baby steps lang, di kailangan maging hardcore kasi yun ang nakkaa frustrate. Ang sarap sa feeling pag nasanay na nagmomove ka tapos pagpapawisan ka. Thanks for this vlog, Ms. Raiza! ❤

This is just what I needed to see at the moment. I'm so stressed right now about my weight gain, and I guess this is a sign for me to start moving. Thank you for this video.

You're actually one of the prettiest girls here sa KZfaq or that I know as an influencer. Whether you lost or gained weight, just know that you are beautiful inside and out and I'm happy with your journey ❤

Thank you for sharing! Looking back, I don't worry about my weight when I was a student coz I am physically active. Eating every 2-3 hrs was never an issue for me. Now, fasting makes me gain weight even more. Such an inspiration ❤

This is so inspiring. Actually naiiyak ako kasi ganyan nararamdaman ko, Self pity, insecurities. I`ll try this process baka gumana.

So so happy for you! I’ve also set the goal 3 weeks ago to move everyday and I already see changes. I just feel amazing! Gonna continue for sure 🤍

Based on your kwento, what made you lose that much weight in 2 months is the little amount of food that you were taking in, which is almost always the case with weight loss. Exercise is good for cardiovascular health but most of the time it doesn’t burn as many calories as we think. We just need to eat till we’re almost full. I lost 20 lbs in 20 days doing this.

Whatever your size is, if you are happy- that makes you beautiful! ☺️😊 rooting for you, Rai!

I had similar experience from her, inevitably I started to lose weight by gradually back in yoga, IF and less sugar pa rin. In a week I lost 4kg but really depends pa rin on our metabolism. Keep positive but don’t push yourself to lose

Ito na ata ang pinaka magandang narinig ko sa pag lose ng weight. Thank you

I also gained alot of weight and im now pre obese. Started working from home since start of pandemic and hindi ko napansin na lumaki na ko ng husto 😭Hirap na ako magpapayat. Thanks for sharing your sexy journey. Disiplina lang talaga need ko papayat din ako 🙏

Rewatching this today! I need to motivate myself to move my body again. Namiss ko ung 2020 pandemic me na everyday workout talaga. Nabusy sa work at naging tamad. Hay but I am determined to move again this year. 😊

So happy for you that you're happy and proud of yourself! I can see the joy in your eyes, not just because you lost weight but because you also loved what you're doing. Kudos! Keep inspiring your viewers like me!

Just the motivation I needed. Thank you for sharing this 🥹 I have Sciatica from gaining weight and having sedentary lifestyle (Im working from home permanently as an accountant. Sitting for long hours is common for me😕) That gradual increase of movement and just listening to your body when it comes to food intake I think would be the key to help me on my weight loss journey. 😊

Love this! Eto lang yata yung weightloss journey na walang advertisement na weightloss product. Very real, congrats po and thank you for sharing!

Wait nakakaiyak 🥹🥹 nakakaproud naman talaga ung weightloss mo mumsh, healthy sya eh! And it was gradual and active. I myself lost a lot of weight around 2020, kaso nag plateau na ako from 2022 huhu, this is a motivational boost for me 🤗 keep it up!!

Happy for you po! 😊 Nagawa mo yung gusto mo at the same time, nag lost weight ka. You look more healthy and happy now, continue doing it po, you're a motivation for me, sana magawa ko din na magloose weight this year. But i do 10,000 steps everyday, I can't see progress for now, but I will not give up.

I like her, she's so simple at walang Arte hndi gaya ng iba mxdong pabebe sa blog.😅 Kudos✌🏻✌🏻✌🏻

I super love this journey. It all appears to be natural. Nakakarelate ako sa dressing room experience, ang sarap magshop ng damit lalo if it fits really good 😍 I’m very happy for you!

I am your fan since 2016, I am crying right now because I knew how you want to be healthy, same as me up until now since 2019 i was stocked being obese, this video made me realize that I can use to be healthy

Thank you for making this so approachable, Rai. It means so much.

Good job! 10000 steps a day to maintain. Low impact exercises does not trigger cravings and cortisone. Constant movement throughout the day - Non Exercise Activity Thermogenesis (NEAT)

Losing weight os easier for someone who doesn't have a corporate job. Yung walang 8-5 or more na working hrs or nasa office/workplace. Yung hindi need gumising ng napaka aga para hindi masyadong makipag agawan ng jeep every commute.

Stumbled on this video accidentally as I got tired of watching quick videos on Tiktok! I’m in my heaviest now and sobrang perfect ng video na ‘to. This motivated to move and listen to my body. I was planning to do workouts na kahit alam ko na may limitations ako kasi bawal yung HIIT because of my hormonal imbalance. I guess I just need to keep on moving. Try ko rin mag-hike soon!! Thank youuu, Ate Rai!!

This is so realistic and achievable ❤ thank you!

Lalong gumanda Raiza! Honestly ang sexy mo na when I saw you personally sa masterclass ni sir Albert grabe panalo Lalo now.. keep it up! 🤗

So inspiring! I am 8months postpartum and I really hate ny body now. Will try to get moving now!!!

So proud of you, ate rai! I also heard about this from a nutritionist, na you consume based on your daily activity. Before, I don’t eat at night, and I don’t eat rice or even meat. I also tried IF and low carb but it did not work for me as well, and intense working out because sweating makes me breakout and feel extremely tired. But now, I move every day, and I eat light, and I also slowly turn my diet into a clean-lean diet to be more healthy and sustainable. Proper sleeping also helps a lot, and always drink water! Home-cooked meals are much better than fast food. Love and appreciate yourself; it will take some time but always prioritize YOU. 🤍

Ito yung legit na sagoooot! Hindi click bait! Thank you poooo ❤❤ Ang ganda nyo po ang ng make up nyo very simple pero kabog!! ❤❤❤

The best mode of body measurement is always clothes. 🥰 Minsan hinidi accurate ang mga weighing devices kasi even if you see your weight is heavy, that could be muscles developing within if you are moving a lot. Congrats sayo!! Na-achieve ko weight loss ko sa IF and a LOT of daily walking.

Oh my!!! Napasearch agad ult ako kasi pumayat na talaga sya… namiss kita Ms. Raiza. Idol ko to!

Currently struggling with my weight right now, i’m not that overweight but at this point i’m already starving myself then leads to binge-eating 😢 But this gave me a different perspective and hope, I just miss wearing extra small clothes and my old self. Thank you Raiza 🤍 You’ll always be my fave non-toxic vlogger ✨

Rice if too much nakakabusog nga but after a shortwhile gutom ka na nman. Rice and sugar if too much stimulates your hunger pangs. Unlike hi protein suppresses your appetite long term. Kaya yung mga nagkeketo walang hunger pangs. Kaya kung madali ka magutom pwedeng kulang ka sa protein. Ideally more protein , veggies and less carbo and sweets. What others do they eat first there protein and veggies , pag busog na they eat there carbo and sweets but minimal lang. ‘’ Eat food like your medicine or else later on in life , you will eat your medicines like your food.’’

Nakaka-inspire ka ate Rai❤ i’m trying to lose weight because i let myself go for the past year. Ngayon i’m trying to be consistent & workout everyday. Nahinto ulit bc of injury pero once i’m healed, i’m gonna workout again🥰

Watching this at my heaviest weight. I feel sad and grabe na yung baba ng self esteem ko. Will finalize my weight loss journey plan

Experienced this as well did not expect to lose weight. Joined fun runs and continued jogging while fueling and until now❤ did not limit my food intake balanced it with my exercise

Whaaa so inspiring! Yung “movement” ko ngayon is swimming. Im trying to do it 3 times a week pero totoo it truly makes you happy nga! Thanks for this! Parang gusto ko mag jogging bukas tuloy hahahaha!

Mare ilang beses na to nadaan sa suggested vids, now I will listen. Thank you! I know u didn't do anything pero this vid is pushing me to loose weight too, I am obese di halata sa face pero my body is like pagod palagi.

I really look up to you, Ate Raiza! You're aging life a fine wine, as in paganda nang paganda. Grabe🥺

True this binawasan ko langng konti yung kinakain ko and made sure to exercise everyday for 20 to 30 minutes lang and i lost weight but slowly bumalik kasi napalakas ulit kain ko and nawala yung exercise ko. Because of this I’ll go back to what i used to doing to lose weight again and for healthier body na rin. ❤❤❤

Ako naman hindi ako kumakain ng rice sa gabi for more than 5 years na, and I'm loving my body now, it gives me so much confidence ❤️🔥 congratulations to us, let's celebrate small wins 🎉

Girl, I don't know you but I am so proud of you.

I thought you were CL! Love your speaking voice and your vid made me emotional, hope I could do this soon too. Keep glowing ms!

A must needed watch! I've been struggling to lose weight primarily because of sedentary lifestyle & being surrounded with people with good appetite! I'm a Cancer Survivor & has a mild case of cerebral palsy due to traumatic birth. With that said, it's best for me to maintain a certain weight range but rice is life they say! I'll do this! Thanks much Rai for this vid! Kuddos! Hope to meet you! xoxo ❤❤❤

Walking talaga, kaya pag mag walk sa threadmill, lagyan ng incline atleast 10 minimum… just like hiking lang yun. And the best yung kakain ka pero need mo iburn always, pero hnd mo need ng malakasang lifting. Im walk in my threadmill before i sleep atleast 1 hour, tapos may swimming activity din ako atleast every twice a week, then nag tennis din. I eat everything i want. But yun nga must burn it talaga.

such an inspiration girl! ako din iv been gaining weight. medium sizes dont fit me anymore. basta xl na ko ngayon. im in the heaviest iv ever been talaga cos im always in front of my laptop since wfh started been really struggling to find time to be active or find the motivation to exercise. anyway, sige im going to try again. il go back to eating rice and do swimming everyday. thank you for this reminder 💕

I remember this!! Yan din yung sagot mo non when I asked you na it was unintentional and hiking lang was what you changed in your routine. You look gorgeous either way, Rai!

i used to have fun trying on new clothes and outfits, but ever since I gained a lot of weight, I haven't been as adventurous with my outfits. I hope one day I can have the same experience as you when I'm surprised I have lost weight kasi I can wear smaller size again!

I love this. The principle is losing weight. Thank you Ate!

Thanks so much for this ate Rai! Baby steps talaga, I only started in working out recently and I love the feel of my body na. Still a long way to go but def feeling better than I did before I started. ❤

I have body dysmorphia so I dont know what i really look like until someone takes a photo or video of me. kaya nahihirapan ako to monitor my weight loss because slight work out makes me think na payat nako kahit hindi pa. and sometimes i would look back at some of my old photos and realized i was smaller before but i remember that ironically, i used to feel so fat. Thats when I realized I have BDD. I gave up for a while kase it became impossible for me. But recently. i made a decision to lose weight kase i got diagnosed with pcos and that was the wake up call kase nagkakaroon nako ng hypertension. I hope I get to have more consistency thus time. thank you for sharing your story ms. raiza, im a silent follower ever since MUA days. and i will always support you! congrats on your weightloss 🎉❤

Totoo talaga na para sa sarili natin 'to eh. Na mas alam natin kung okay pa ba tayo. Manigat na ba tayo o ano. Naranasan ko din 'to sobrang saya ko nung lumuwag yung mga pantalon kong pag sinusuot ko grabe yung pagkabloated ko

The answer talaga is to always MOVE. And just eat happily. ❤

I just started working out yesterday and im actually enjoying it although sore after 😅 sana makayanan ko rin mag loose weight im already 36 and lumalala anxiety ko bcoz im starting to feel very unhealthy and ang bigat bigat na ng pakiramdam ko. Thanks for this vlog nadagdagan ang inspiration ko to move forward 😊

From Toni Sia to Ms Rai🤩 another fitspiration‼️you look pretty ms rai❤︎❤︎

Very inspiring. I set my apple watch sa kaya kong maachieve daily, basta i keep moving. Baby steps. Thanks Ms. Rai. ❤️

Omg. It's been a long time since pinanood kobmga vlog mo. Real talk hindi ko expect na ikaw yung nasa thumbnail. But wow! Grabe yung glow up mo 😮❤❤❤ congrats and I love na your weight loss is all about discipline and being active rather than mag advertise ng slimming products and unhealthy diet. ❤❤❤

I can relate when fitting in dressing rooms 😭 i despise it. Congratulations in being happy in your body. Hope I do too soon 🥰

I starve myself then overeating sa gabi, people around me keep saying antaba mo blablabla. Nasa military pako that's why it's 100x harder emotionally. I have pcos and hindi siya alibi in our spot pra maging excuse being big. The struggle, the emotions. Thank u for this video

Yes girl! Self care is very important. Love yourself, know yourself! It reflects!

This happened to me pero its not something I was super proud kasi I lost weight in the most unhealthy way.. I would starve myself and it came to a point na work out ako ng work out sobrang na addict ako don pero hindi ako nagugutom so wala akong kinakain minsan sa maghapon. Kung kakain man ako oatmeal lang. My weight went from 60 - 45 kilos. When I look at my photos before I feel sad cause I looked sickly pero nung mga time na un ang saya ko kasi akala ko I looked good and I was never a skinny girl so it felt good na I can fit myself sa xs na damit. Can I just say it was so easy to shop for clothes back then! HAHA this was 2020 when everybody was gaining weight due to lock downs and all and I'm losing it. Ang reason, yes heart break. Now I'm back to 63 kilos, overweight na ako for my height, and struggling to lose weight. I gotta be honest it's hard to look in the mirror sometimes. Also, not going out to see friends cause I would hate how I'd look sa mga photos.

when you feel good, you look good! you're so pretty ❤

Love this. I’m on keto diet now. Weeks plang and I think this works for my body. Ang gaan ng feeling, hindi palaging bloated, cravings for rice and carbs lessened, ambilis na mabusog, no exercise kasi pawis na pawis na sa trabaho palang so yeah kahit winter pinagpapawisan pa din. So yeah that works for me and importante di ka palaging gutom. Can’t wait sa results. Baby steps. Congrats Raiza ❤

Goals talaga omg!! 🥺🥺🥺love seeing this!! Lifestyle change!!! Thanks ate rai!!! 🤍🤍🤍

You look like you're living your best life. 💖 more power to you.

Just like the Raiza Contawi of FEU waywayback! 😍💚

Thank you for sharing!! You glow when you're healthy. Ganda mooooo, ate!

THIS IS THE THE SIGN THAT I NEED. THANK YOU ATE RAI

Nakakatuwa Ms Rai, ginaganahan na kong mag workout. Cant do it because of busy schedule as a college but definitely, kung gusto maraming paraan. I hope there's more videos of it pa, not that much. Natutuwa ako kasi you inspires and motivates me to loose weight for the betterment. Thank you Ms Rai! and congrats ren pala na naachieve mo na mag loose ng weight and stay healthy. Muwah

I was so surprised that you dance really well! I miss dancing too. When I dance I noticed din I wasnt craving food as much. But when I attend like 2 dance classes in a row ang lakas ng appetite ko pero pumapayat padin ako kasi halos everyday ako sumasayaw after work sa gym and then on weekends I attend hiphop dance classes.

wow grabe so fresh!!! pano yung make up mo dito omggg so proud! ❤

rewatching this again!! so happy for you rai!! inspired by your active lifestyle!!

Ako, nagsisimula uli. I’m a breast feeding momma to my 2 year old Boy and talagang mahirap gumalaw for me since lagi akong puyat 😂 But this one is inspiring and sustainable. Galaw galaw lang kahit hindi sa gym. Buti I love to Dante and I love zumba! Hehehe

Love the top!! Anyway ako din super unexpected na naglose weight. As in I'm at my thinnest just because of stretching everyday and using dumbells/ankle weights. Ang purpose ko lang talaga is to strengthen my body. I has wrist injury so madaming floor stretches di ko talaga kaya dati and super saya na kaya ko na. Bonus lang yung pumayat ako

I came here in the US 121lbs, in 3 months i was 110 up to now, im a nurse here, forced to intermittent fast 12 hrs due to workload, still home cooked food, no fastfood.

Waaaah!!!! I just remembered you and went to your YT account and.... found this video!!!! Struggling with my weight as well. Ahuhu. Wahhh!! I wanna try VR! Sana magkaroon din ako VR

ahhh i can feel the much happiness and confidence that u are now displaying. im so happy for u ms raiza, i just recently became ur fan

Been waiting for this video! You look amazing☺️ also, I’m so obsessed with your makeup and top here! Love the brown and nude makeup look, especially the nude lip! Please shareee😍

I love the top! Drop th source ❤

You look younger and gorgeous! Congrats!

Ako alam ko talaga pag tumaba ako ang bigat hindi ko mabuhat yung sarili ko sa pag angkas ng motor now im back to normal weight and i love it

I wanna feel what u felt when u buttoned that shorts. I am happy for youuuu!!!

NAKAKAPROUD KA!!!! 👏🏼👏🏼

Wow i love that arms and waist😍😍 kainggit❤😂 pag nagbawas k tlg ng weight you look so much younger. Raiza looks like a college student now!!😊

Small goals everyday talaga wohooo!🤍💗

Thanks on this. Napanghihinaan na talaga ako lately but napanood ko to. Thankyouuu!🥲🥺

Hi Raiza! Ever since talaga I always find you so beautiful - before and now :) So happy for you sa naging journey mo.Ang galing! Currently rin WIP pa ako sa fitness journey ko. Challenging talaga dahil may PCOS pa ako. Pero gusto ko yung hindi mo nalang napapansin yung changes mo kasi na enjoy mo yung movements mo everyday :) Nako I always hate seeing myself sa fitting room pero I need to be more patient and gentle with myself rin. Thank you for sharing this! Nakaka inspire lalo. Keep on shining and glowing!

bakit nakakaiyak? haha. nakaka-proud and nakaka-inspire ka po. you are so beautiful at any size.

Raizaaaaa 🎉OMG!! mapapasana all! Congratulations! ❤

Eto naaaa... 🙌
