I completely agree with you about the fat positive folks. Being fat does not make you a bad person, but you are also not a healthy person.

Where did you go....

I appreciate you sharing your journey and your daily struggles. There’s a lot of us out here going through the same. I hope you find some relief with the heat. I can’t imagine not having ac in the summer. I also find it’s hard to get motivated to clean but once I start, I realize it’s therapeutic, plus having a freshly cleaned home just puts me in a better mood. Maybe you’ll find a sense of peace just venting your struggles in your videos. It’s a way to get it out and process it, and not bottle up your feelings. Keep your head up and keep going!

🔥🔥 Really good content. I appreciate it. But after your videos are so good, views and engagement are very low. Do you know why this is happening?

I also have gained a lot of weight this year and it's been hard to most things and I ant to change that so I am going to Strat fasting with you please update us thank you for this amazing videos

I’m doing something similar and starting at a similar weight. We are fasting for 48 hours and having a regular size zero carb meal. So far I’ve lost about ten pounds. I’m hoping to lose 90lbs. Good luck!!

It's crazy how similar our stories are! I also lost 70lbs way back when I was in college at 18 years old. I slowly gained it back plus some over all of these years. I love intermittent fasting. I usually do the 16:8 plan. Right now I am really loving the zig zag diet. Just this past week I lost 10lbs in a week!!! That has NEVER happened before! I like to mix the two up here and there to fit my schedule. I only ever walk and hike as my form of exercise. I even do indoor walking if the weather is bad. I literally HATE other forms of exercise. I have failed in the past because I was doing workouts that I hated. I also eat a mix of healthy and unhealthy foods. I used to go crazy and buy all sugar free, low fat, whole wheat everything, blah blah blah. It was so boring and not sustainable. I lose weight and still eat pizza, pasta, breads etc. I like where you are headed! It sounds like you are on the right track and it's 100% doable!

I'm with you❤on the journey too we got this 🎉love ellie uk x

keep it up! glad to see you're doing well! :)

😂 talking about anger and then the Horns… lol my eye twitched

I think your video is great. I love that you are sharing what you are doing to lose weight. I have been trying for months to be in a calorie deficit and I am struggling. So watching videos from other people is helping me. What I like about yours is it’s just real, and weight loss made simple. You are showing that it can be done and it doesn’t have to be hard. I look forward to your next upload. Question, Do you have a lot of food noise going on during the day? Like do you think about food a lot between your protein shakes? I think that’s my biggest challenge. Thinking about food all day.

Keep up the good work! I usually do 10k steps+ a day and love it! My Samsung watch has worldwide monthly challenges that help keep me motivated. So far I have beat every challenge this year. It's amazing how much walking not only helps you lose weight but prevents you from gaining. I ate bad on so many occasions and never put a single pound on! Can't wait to see your next update!

❤❤ edit: I had headphones in and the boat horns scared the crap out of me 😂

I lost 90lbs then ive put weight on after surgeries 😢 but im back on track. Im tracking protein and fibre too and so far this is working for me :) good luck youl smash your journey

Keep up the great work. I was wondering if have thought about weight loss drugs Zepbound or Ozempic ? I am taking Zepbound and it works great . In the U.S it is pricey without insurance. But i have heard in Canada it is cheaper. Best of luck to you.

I agree 100% wanting to loose weight is self love and trying to improve your life.

Best of luck to you I am sure you will do great. I look forward to your next video.

Your lettuce steak tacos looked amazing!! I never thought of using lettuce as a taco shell. Definitely going to try this.

My husband and I ended up walking to the grocery store to get watermelon yesterday because your video made me so hungry for some lol. I'm originally from New York but I live in a small fishing town in Scotland so there isn't a lot of choice. I was able to get two small personal sized ones. The one we cut open was pretty good. They aren't quite in season yet. I love the homemade chips idea. I have an air fryer so I could easily make a serving size. The steak tacos look sooooo good. I'm going to have to make some soon! Keep up the good work!

Good for you for doing all that walking. Especially carrying a watermelon! And I prefer men’s deodorant too. I find it lasts a lot longer! Thank you for showing your Weightloss journey. I am just starting mine and watching others go through their journey really helps me.

I'm trying to catch up on your videos. It's amazing how similar our journeys are! I too lost a ton of weight in my teens and kept it off for years only to gain it all back slowly. I love intermittent fasting especially combined with the zigag diet. I agree 100% with calories having to be pretty exact! It's true-input has to be less than output. I'm huge on calorie counting. It ALWAYS works! Can't wait to see more videos from you. I find them very motivating!

You love watermelon like I do. I've been craving them like crazy but I refuse to buy them right now. I know they are going to be awful. I'm impatiently waiting for them to be in season lol. I'm on a weight loss journey too. I'm zigzag dieting and it's the best. You eat lower and higher calories on whatever days you want and it helps prevent plateaus! I have lower calories from Monday to Friday and higher calories on weekends. Doing it this way helps me "take a break" on weekends without messing my diet up. I'm bringing this up because you said you are fixated on calories. A break from that every weekend might help! Also, higher calorie days are great to use up on date nights and events. This is how my week looks-1,300 calories M-F and 2.700 calories on Saturday and Sunday. It all depends on your caloric needs/how fast you want to lose weight of course! The weekends feel like huge cheat days and it gives me something to look forward to/work towards every week! I love it! Just an idea!

Will you do a “what I eat in a day” video?

I’ll make up for the person who unsubscribed. :)

I have frizzy curly hair and found the suave whipped cream mousse in wet hair is the best. Let it air dry. Also, the heatless curling rod works wonders. To use that, I put in curl cream or some kind of leave in conditioner on wet hair and frizz control serum. Let it dry almost completely and braid the curling rod into your hair. Sleep on it, take it out and carefully separate your curls. It helps to wind them in the same direction with your finger to help smooth them out. If you see frizz just use a bit more frizz serum and add hairspray. It sounds like a lot but it's more just waiting around for drying. The curling rod is very inexpensive btw. It's just a long silky puff thing. Good luck on your weightloss journey!

hey girl! i feel for you! ive been sick off and on the last 2 months! please reach out if you want an acountability person or just a friend!

Hi there, a great idea to get your day started is to have your iced coffee with a protein shake. The protein shake is sweet enough that you don’t have to add any creamer or sugar to the coffee. 8 oz of cold brew coffee with your protein shake and I add a bit of heavy whipping cream 👍🏽

❤

❤hey from uk I'm on a weightloss mission at the moment too you got this x

Balsamic glaze would be good in cucumber salad 🤤 ❤❤

oh I know what you mean about the weather, in Ireland the last few weeks have been really hot and I feel so uncomfortable that I don't get to wear a coat to cover me up like all my terrible food decisions are on display lmao not to mention summer clothes are just uncomfortable cos everything rides up on me forever pulling my shorts/skirt down.

Your story resonates with mine. I have had depression from childhood. One thing has been good for me is exercise. It’s hard to get the motivation to start but you can start really slowly. I can’t remember if you have said in past videos that you do any but give it a go. It does make you feel better.

I know it’s not easy but you have to try and be kind to yourself.

I stumbled on this video from my homepage and I immediately smiled when I read the title of this video. I smiled again when you said you're here in Ontario, 👋Hi from Toronto. I'm so sorry for all the childhood trauma you've experienced. You're incredibility self-aware & vulnerable about your life. You should feel so proud of yourself for going back to school & wanting more for yourself and your daughter. *I'm wishing you all the best and I admire you so much.* 💜💛💚 Every decision you are making now, you'll see as the exact right decision looking back. Btw, you are not old 30 is young, I promise you.

Blessed!

Yay!

Also brown rice pasta is easier to digest and is much less calorie dense and still very filling vs wheat!

hey! i'm also in a weight loss journey and i'm super happy for you. gonna keep up for sure. rooting for your success ◡̈

Ben Carpenter has some good content.

I think it’s normal for most people to put weight on lose weight gain a little then lose more than you put on. That’s what happens to me. If you struggle on the 1800 calories up it a little 1800 is very low.

Sustainability is KEY. 1000 calorie deficit is awesome and hold that as long as you can. But don’t be afraid to bump back up to 2200 or 2600 for a bit to replenish but still keep losing weight. Also if you really need it you can bump to maintenance for a few days to recover. All that matters is that on average you are in enough of a deficit that you’re consistently losing weight month over month. You keep that up and you’ll be there in no time. You got this ♥️💪 Also make sure you’re still eating foods you love too! :)

You got this fr. Keep it up❤

LETS GOOOOO 🎉

You can do it!!! The beginning is hard for everyone so don't feel bad if some days don't go exactly as you were expecting. You're stronger than you think ❤💪🏻

Good for you for making the effort! By the way, you can get cheap suction based or wrap-around type tripods at many dollar stores. It might be easier than trying to hold the camera while working out.

You are attempting to do something that, statistically speaking, is almost impossible. Genetically, socially, biologically... the deck is stacked against you. You've even tried and failed before. And... yet... here you are trying again. You have nothing to be ashamed of. Yeah it would have been great if you could have reported back some success, but the fact that you are still trying and posting is not only impressive to me, but actually gave me the extra motivation I needed to push myself through my own plateau.

@obesetobeast did a great video this week about starting with small changes and building into new habits for long term weight loss. It really resonated with me and might be helpful for you. I think you’re doing great, I’m looking forward to following along.

Cant wait to follow your journey and watch you succeed

I'm also on a weight loss journey and have just come across your channel. I started at the beginning of January. I have gone from 232lb to 199lb and reduced my body fat percentage from 42% to 35%. I have also come to the realization based on my body fat percentage I am NEVER going to get into the "healthy" BMI to do that I would have to lose muscle which I don't want to. I am focusing more on my body fat percentage reduction than my weight at this point and how much fitter I am becoming. With regards to the gym and exercise, spin is great for someone who is struggling with joint issues as is swimming. I find classes so much more helpful for me and you can always speak to an instructor about lower impact options. I currently do 4 gym classes a week, 2 weights classes (30mins) a spin class (30 mins) and a circuit class (45 mins). Keep taking and reminding yourself of the wins you have had even if its not showing on the scale yet, it will.

❤❤
