I Have Missed You SO Much!
Hello DownFifty Viewers, I have missed you!
In 2016 let's get back to doing the things that we know generate results, and one of those things for me is making these videos. The year I lost the most weight was the year I made the most videos. So, let's jumpstart this little channel and get back at it!
Also, you can follow along with Sherri and I on our #LeggLife vlog here: ua-cam.com/users/legglifeak

      Laura Scopel Laura - I haven't done it, but i've heard good things! One of my long term goals is to do a 5K, so I'm sure that I will eventually be using it. What have you heard about it?

    • @laurascopel9532
      @laurascopel9532 8 років тому

      DownFifty Ah no worries. I'm thinking about starting it so I was just hoping you'd have some insight into what to expect. I've heard good things about it too :) Good luck with the 5K in the future!

    I was so tempted to go through a drive through on the way home from work today but I didn't. I drove home, then WALKED back to the supermarket to buy a chicken breast and some green beans to make myself a healthy dinner. I'm struggling to make the right decisions but I'm not regretting them after I make them!

    • @laurascopel9532
      @laurascopel9532 9 років тому

      Urgh, I'm an idiot. The point of that comment was that I thought about you your wife and your first 50 pounds of weight loss and kept driving. Very inspiring! So thank you!

    • @DownFifty
      @DownFifty 9 років тому

      Laura Scopel I. LOVE. THIS. Good job! We have found that weight loss always comes down to your next decision. I can plan long term and have goals, but if the next decision I make isn't a healthy one, I'm not making progress. Great job making a great choice!

    • @laurascopel9532
      @laurascopel9532 9 років тому

      DownFifty I think that has been my problem before. I have always justified that packet of unhealthy food or drink with "It's only one thing" but over the whole day it ended up being about 700 calories of bad decisions (on a good day!).

  • @MandyGeorgiaaa
    @MandyGeorgiaaa 9 років тому

    Hey...First of all...WELL DONE! just caught up on some of your vids :) found you on the Butler 6month DietBet page...I can't afford the 6month commitment but I'm signing up to the Carlie and Kayli DietBet. Can't wait to see you're future successes (beyond those you have already accomplished!)

    • @DownFifty
      @DownFifty 9 років тому

      Hi MandyGeorgia! Thanks for the comment and thanks for watching! So stoked to hear you will be taking part in the Carlie & Kayli DietBet. Have you done a DietBet before?

    • @MandyGeorgiaaa
      @MandyGeorgiaaa 9 років тому

      DownFifty yeah I've actually done several before. I win but don't keep it off. A lot of obstacles relating to anxiety etc but I've been focusing on that recently and feel happy and confident in myself to try again and stick to it! Did you find recording your journey helped/made you accountable?

    • @DownFifty
      @DownFifty 9 років тому

      MandyGeorgia Honestly, I don't know that I would have lost the weight if I hadn't recorded it and put it out there. It created a level of accountability that was huge for me. I didn't want to fail for myself, but I also didn't want to fail in front of all of you. There were a lot of times when I wanted fast food, but I knew that I was going to have to get on a scale in front of a camera, and that drove me to make a better decision. I've also been SO encouraged and inspired by the community that is forming here. Hearing comments from people who watch about their journey has been huge. We are in this together!

    @TheKumra 9 років тому

    I always find that it is the changes in my diet that are the most challenging. I always feel so hungry when I don't eat as much! Joined up with dietbet for some encouragement, lets see how it goes!

    • @DownFifty
      @DownFifty 9 років тому

      Jason - I totally understand. One thing that has really helped us is when we do smoothies we make A LOT so that anytime we get hungry, we have more. And we allow ourself as much healthy snacking as we need. We found that if a diet forces us to be hungry all of the time, we slip off it quickly. Now we do lots of healthy snacking, big smoothies, and that's really helped us!

    • @TheKumra
      @TheKumra 9 років тому

      Thanks, that is some good advice. I have yet to try doing the smoothies, I can never afford to make them. But I suppose when it comes down to it I could really afford them I guess.

  • @laurascopel9532
    @laurascopel9532 9 років тому

    Yum! I'm adding this to my meal plan for the week. I might put some cilantro in there too.

  • @laurascopel9532
    @laurascopel9532 9 років тому

    This is really motivating for me! I'm about to start a dietbet with the aim of losing 15% of my body weight. I've subscribed and I'll be watching every video for a bit more motivation to help me out.

    • @laurascopel9532
      @laurascopel9532 9 років тому

      I'm also curious as to if you guys were big soda drinkers? I'm from Australia and a goal for me is to try and give up my favourite drink - CocaCola - but it's 42C (107F) today and nothing beats an icy cold can of it. Do you have any tips for reducing the cravings? Whenever I have a can of Coke I can't help but think about how many good times I've had having a can with my friends and family on a hot Summer day down at the beach...

    • @DownFifty
      @DownFifty 9 років тому

      Laura Scopel Hi Laura! First, thanks SO much for watching and subscribing! Second, yes, soda is something we both have given up for the most part. On the rare occasion we still may have a soda here and there, but we have tried to cut back at least 90% of the soda we used to drink. It isn't just soda though, it's really any sugars. We've both found it incredibly difficult to lose weight if we don't cut back / out our sugar consumption. I certainly agree that a soda on a hot summer day is just about perfect, but maybe try some healthier options. Coconut water? Ice cold water with slices of orange, lime, cucumber in it for some flavor?

    • @laurascopel9532
      @laurascopel9532 9 років тому

      Good idea! I don't think I can go cold turkey right now but I think if I try and replace 2 out of every 3 with a lemon water that will help. My goal today is to buy a big water bottle that I can sip at when I'm craving sugar.

  • @weasinanna

    I've missed these videos Adam! And nice to meet you Sherri. My weight loss has gotten a little slack recently. Although I haven't gained any more. 2015 will be the year when I actually take control of what I put in my mouth, and realise that that is just as important as the exercise I do. Happy New Years :)

    • @DownFifty
      @DownFifty 9 років тому

      Hi Brooke! Totally understand about weight loss getting a little slack, but there is no time like the present to start again! So glad to have you watching!

  • @sharonalumos8829
    @sharonalumos8829 9 років тому

    This is GREAT! Thanks Sheri for sharing your views too. The part about making smaller goals did really help me. Dietbet (where I met Adam) has helped me do that. It's way easier to loose 4kg at a time vs 25 kg. I've now lost 19 kg since April. Now I'm trying to balance things out to make this last.

    • @DownFifty

  • @sharonalumos8829
    @sharonalumos8829 9 років тому

    I know it's easy to say to someone 'oh you're an inspiration, you're doing a great job' but after watching your videos I truly feel like that Adam. It's so weird to me that a stranger on another side of the planet can make me think about what I'M doing with my life, trying to live healthier etc. Seeing someone else struggle with the same things and knowing that they can still find motivation is SO powerful to me. I don't know how to explain it differently, I hope this makes sense even though English is not my language XD I just wanted to say, you ARE really an inspiration to me on this journey. I've lost 28 pounds so far. I have my ups and downs but overall feel like I have changed bad habbits into good habbits. This is a lifestyle I can hold on to, versus doing crazy diets in the past that were very unhealthy. Anyway, this ramble ends here XD Keep up the good work Adam!
