I really admire you for being so honest about your weight loss journey. I wish I could offer you a solution but unfortunately it's just constant hard work! I've been dieting my whole life (I'm 71) and I've gone from being anorexic to morbidly obese. I had weight loss surgery about 9 years ago and it's been the best thing I ever did but in saying that it takes hard work (calorie counting) to keep the weight off. I wish you all the best and want to say how much I enjoy your channel. You really are a lovely personxx
Thanks for the recap. Be wary of the enablers - shock them and say no when they are tempting you to eat something you know will be detrimental to your goal of losing weight. When they see that you are setting a good example they may follow suit!
I am a new viewer and will refrain from silly questions and unsolicited advice. Weight loss is such a struggle - I wish you success!
You know yourself so well, I see nothing but positivity here 🥰 x also you are so eloquent you would make a great lecturer or speaker I could listen all day x
I agree!
Hi Carla I’ve watched you for a few years now and watched with awe your first and subsequent Calorie Crush vids..it helped me as I also had a bone on bone right knee going on…so I joined in with you to get my weight down to have a knee replacement…long story short..I lost weight and I had knee replacement 4 weeks ago…if I hadn’t joined you on your journey I’d still be waiting for it….so thank you…A new day a new start…you Can do this xxx
Ps…You made the difference…
Perfect recap! Also Carla, you are a fellow 'sister' for many of us who know your struggle because we are all living it. One of us WILL figure it out! I appreciate you putting your 'journey' out there.
Thank you Carla. So good to hear someone talking how I feel.
When you said, “I know how to do it, I don’t know how to make myself do it”, sums up exactly the position I’m in too.
The psychological side is so powerful and the hardest to overcome for me.
I have followed you since lockdown. It must be so frustrating having to retell your story and your efforts to lose weight. Remember you don't have to justify yourself to anyone. Your comments to Natalie and friend I think will be supportive. Take Care. Congratulations on your 5 stone success.
I feel your “pain” Carla. I’m currently sitting here, eating a pack of biscuits whilst watching your video. I have recently lost just under 3 stone but I’m starting to slide back again. (Now just on 2 stone loss) and i feel powerless/unable to switch my brain back on. Weight loss (for me) is in my head and I cannot understand my lack of ability to catch myself on. It’s a nightmare. Everything you’re saying lands with me. But we both HAVE to keep trying. You are absolutely right sweetheart. Xxx
You are a beautiful, intelligent, insightful and inspiring woman! Keep on keeping on! Sending love xxx
Anyone who has lost weight has been at this point feel your self slipping back it’s horrible 😢 you are so honest thank you for all your videos 💕
Hi Carla. You are quite right, the only way forward is to keep going! Easier said than done I know, I have had to try and control my weight all my adult life, sometimes more successfully than others, and I am now 73 and still at it!! Don’t give up, just do the best you can, we are all rooting for you. Xxxx
Admire your honesty Carla, its like listening to myself sometimes. I struggled with my weight since i had baby no 1 in 1986 im 58 now and still feel like im yoyo dieting. Ive been at ideal weight several times yet it never seems to stay.
You are an amazing lady i wish you success this week, each day is a fresh start well thats how i look at my "journey".
Sending hugs xxx
Hi Carla l really admire your honesty over your weight it is so hard to be honest with others about it mainly because of ppl fat shaming and being cruel. I have experienced this all my life even from my family . It hurts like hell . Wishing you all the best love your channel ☺️
Keep on keeping on Carla - that’s all any of us can do really!
Keep at it Carla, i’m 3 stone down with help from you and slimming world. I met you on the sea front in Clevedon at the beginning of your journey (sorry) you had just started the crush and you were struggling to walk. you really have done so very well on this first leg of said journey (oops) Katie G has said you made the difference for her and I believe there are a lot of us here watching in the same boat. It isn’t easy. I need to believe we can do it. We have to keep going to keep going.. so good luck in making the right choices today and tomorrow and let’s see what we really can achieve ❤ safe journey x
I hate the way weight issues take over our life and affect us so badly. I've had eight issues most of my life, and a failed gastric bypass. My weight has literally stopped me from enjoying my life. Yet still I can't get to grips with it. Carla you have lost over 7 stone in total. That's amazing and shows that in the right headspace and circumstances you are able to do it. And you're beautiful inside and out. This is a subject I could ramble on about for hours!!! Lol. And I could listen to you for hours too.
Good luck. Onwards and upwards xx
I know it isn't easy, but you need to get a grip. The longer you wait, the harder the journey. Pull it together and prove to yourself what a smart, strong woman you are.😊❤❤😊
I’ve loved sitting watching all the calorie crush videos, also loved watching all the vlogmas,loved all the Masked reseller etc😂😂 so,yes new(ish) subscribers will watch your olde vlogs. 🥰
This was refreshing. You’re very self aware. Eating disorders don’t always look like anorexia, do they? I do think your doctor should actually be helping with that. Looking forward to watching the next stone come off. You can do it, Carla!
I really admire your tenacity Carla. I love your honesty. There really are bad foods though. Artificial sweeteners are bad. Sugar is bad and it makes you hungry . Too many carbs are bad- because your body just converts them straight to sugar. Calorie counting will always only work for so long because your ‘too clever for it’s own good ‘system will just adjust and will make do with the fewer calories it’s getting.
I only have admiration for you Carla your never in denial of how you feel .. I just lost two dear friends both always worried about their weight both in early 70s .. it never stops .. keep smiling lovely lady sending virtual hugs x
I'm in a similar position. It's tough isn't it Carla? But we'll keep trying and we'll get there 👍🤞😉
Remember what you've done so far. Brilliant! ❤
Love your honesty x my old mate once said to me 'Never give up giving up - she was talking about smoking but I apply it to many aspects in my life xx
Like you I lost a lot of weight, stayed the same then it was slowly creeping back on. I kept dieting, then having a pig out. It took a planned family event where people hadn't seen me to get me on track again. Now I'm past that and still sticking to it because I feel so much better in myself. I completely understand the struggle! Good luck xx
Each week is a new one. Losing weight is so difficult and I'm sure it comes from the brain. If I'm in the right frame of mind I can cut down ,ignore chocs and sweet fatty things and lose weight but if my brain goes the other way I could eat sll day long. I do think as spring and summer appear and we can get out more and want to wear short sleeves etc it helps us eat more sensibly. It sounds like you are helping so many people and we are all cheering you on too Carla .
For me (as someone who does not at all like cooking) it really started clicking when I could make healthy treats at home for a fraction of the calories. Cottage cheese Ice cream, nut bars w almond flour, ice pops w just fruit as flavoring. When I needed to “binge” I had something at the ready that would make me feel satisfied but also not feeling like I just threw it all away.
I hated cooking or preparing any types of meals like you Carla, but if I spent an hour or so more in the kitchen making tasty treats and I didn’t binge, it was a success.
Onwards and downwards! Shane
Oh Carla, your a gem of honesty and truth. I have a doctor like yours x
Carla, I love your honesty and that you are sticking with the calorie counting. You absolutely know yourself. Most of us understand and can relate to what you are living through. I enjoy your channel and appreciate that you are carrying on. I'm trying too -mostly cutting the sweets - but it's a struggle. Wishing you the best!
Like you Carla my doctor also thinks losing weight will cure everything. I’ve lost two stone a few years ago with slimming world, put it all back on plus another stone for luck😢 I’m trying again now and have lost 11lbs. Plenty more to go but I’ll keep trying. Love your videos. We are all behind you. Take care x
Best wishes on your weighloss journey, thanks for sharing x
I really admire you opening up and letting us know about your journey. I too have been a serial ‘dieter’ trying all sorts of eating plans. I can lose weight but I cannot stabilise. Like you said you feel you have done well then ease off a bit then gain and carry on gaining, this is me all over. But if you stop trying yes you will become immobile and my age (58) is going against me. I will keep trying to lose and wish you all the best for your continuing journey x
You haven't failed! ❤
Admire your honesty you have done so well before and am sure you can do it again, keep on keeping on, we are all behind you👍🏻❤️
So enjoy your vlogs regardless. Glad you are carrying on Carla and not giving up and as we all say, tomorrow is another day! You have done so brilliantly and you can do this Carla, you’ve done it before, you can do it again. Have a great week and I am keeping my fingers and toes crossed for you to come in with a loss next week. 🤞🤞xx
All we can do is try. Good luck Carla, we are all behind you xx
Been here from the start and always rooting for you ❤ Will continue to cheer you on xxx
Hi Carla, That's all any of us can do is "keep on keeping on" because as you say what is the other option. Losing weight and keeping it off is a hard bloody job and over the years i'v struggled with my weight. I try not to let it get to me so much now. The only time it really bothers me is the summer and xmas for obvious reasons. I think you've done amazing so yes just keep on keeping on. I think your brave to do this calorie crush every week because there will be people who will have a pop about you. Your strong and honest with everyone so all the very best again for giving it another go. Have a great new week and try to be kinder to yourself. x
I like these videos - they are going to work for you once you get back on whatever track you eventually settle down to - and if you don’t then your stories are helpful to other people who are struggling. And always ……good wishes that you manage to come back with your wee calorie crush board. 🥰
Morning Carla I hope you are well. Totally understand where you are coming from. We can only keep on trying. xxx Lesley xxx
That was very moving Carla. Your honestly is so refreshing. Today is a new day and a fresh start for you, me and many others watching this xx big hugs 😘😘
You are so brave and I admire you so much. Take care. X
It is a constant struggle and sometimes (probably most of the time now) I'm tired and just want to try anymore. Why try so hard and not get anywhere right? But you are right, if we don't keep trying, then we go backwards a lot faster. This year has been hard, tried WW again and it just did not do anything..pounds lost, pounds gained... I haven't weighed myself in a few weeks and NEED to get back in control. Going to try again to cut sugar (artificial or natural) and flour out again... For me that worked, but it was EXTREMELY hard. Thank you for your honesty and keep going!!
Still here supporting you 🥰
Thank you for your honesty. I wish you the very best of luck for your fresh start. There are no limits to how many times we can have a fresh start thank goodness!
Hello love! We all know how to loose weight don’t we! It’s just doing it!🤣 I had 3 large Easter eggs that spoke so kindly to me over the past 3 days that I had to eat them! Got to get back in the zone! I find it’s 90% head 10% body so all we can do is try! I’m with u love! Xx
Good luck Carla, I'm rooting for you x
I am a serial dieter, society expects us, to be pancake flat and buxom, and gawjus, I'm not member of a gym or weight loss club, but not able to resist food. I get fed up with the very subject of diet or slimming, However I really understand, you. 💞 ♥️ God bless x you will never let us down. Be thoughtful of your needs, you will get there. X take care
Hi Carla. Good luck on your continued weight loss journey. I'm a binge eater and the only way I can stop binging is not to buy any foods that I will binge on! Cake biscuits soda chocolate crisps etc... It's the only way I have control over what I eat! If I want any of the above I buy one biscuit one chocolate bar etc...
This may not work for you. But it works for me... Good luck... You can do this... 😊
I agree with everything that you talked about Carla. Too many great points to list. Ty for sharing! I love calorie counting. It works best for me. ❤ keep on going and you will get there. The critical thing is not giving up.
I absolutely think you are amazing & I respect your honesty x all the best xx
I think the menopause changes everything, I remember the doctor saying to me try to lose weight before you hit the menapause because it is very hard to lose it afterwards.
Your honesty is amazing and I relate so much. Thank you for saying what other option is there than to try again as that's what I will do again today. Thanks x
Oh Carla loosing weight is bloody hard I struggle everyday and I'm also a binge eater x big hugs you are amazing ❤❤
Oh Carla don't worry, ive had a horrendous time this Easter a close member of the family had a brain haemorrhage and the family were called to the hospital she's young stop stressing about yourself you're doing fine ❤
You ate very honest with people its the hardest thing to do easier to put on than take off I think if the three of you work together it wld work just encourge each other x
Don’t give up. Losing weight is hard. But don’t beat yourself up either. You seem to realize that. Start anew and forget the last bit of weight gain. You’ve proven you can do it, don’t forget that. It’s a journey and journeys have their ups & downs. Best to you! ❤
Al i can say carla is i totally understand everything uve said ,ur not on ur own,
Keep on keeping on, luv to u xxx❤l
I just think you’re amazing and honest Xx
So the outcome seems to be that its down to YOU Carla and I have every confidence that you will get back to the head space that you were in when you were doing so well before...something will click and you will get back on track...dont give up ( I know you don't intend to) and I wish you all the very best.
Thanks Carla for the update, I'm a new(ish) subscriber so that was interesting. Id love to know your views on weight-loss surgery too and whether it would be something you'd consider. ❤
Her answer is on the info she put up ie no.
Hi Carla don’t put so much pressure on your self just take it a day at a time if it’s a good day great if not start again the next good luck
Hi Carla I feel your pain in a similar situation , it’s a nightmare , thanks for sharing , be brave 🌷
You can do this Carla xx
Just wanted to join those supportively agreeing that there are so many of us in the same headspace x
Hi Carla ,im starting again tomorrow as well as i attacked the chocolate over Easter.I hope you had a great time with your family.Just stick to the calorie counting as you know it works and do your best.Could you allow yourself a set amount of calories for your naughty favourites aday and use the rest for your meals . I struggle with moving around too because of a dodgy knee,but we can only do our best.Good luck for next week.xx.
hI Carla, you are an inspiration, just don't beat yourself up! A few weeks ago I looked at your shop, and noted you had a bracelet which looked like a magnetic bracelet (steel and black thin thing). They can be very good for pain - maybe worth a try if you haven't already sold?
Aww Carla, I can relate to this all throughout my life. I wish there was a quick fix for us both out there xxx
I totally understand you Carla as I’m in a similar position. It’s hard. But onwards for us all, a day at a time. I personally find the mental side / urge to snack the hardest part. Xx🤞🤞🤞
Great vlog ❤
Always keep trying Carla and never give up, no matter how many new starts you have as most of us start again every Monday !! Not to late to change your GP to one that will listen and help , as if your legs were no better after losing 7 stone , its not weight . Physio is a cop out , why should you suffer !!! Have a great week xxx
Thank you for your honesty and I can so relate.
Good luck.🌞
Sending big hugs. Been dieting since I was 18 now 44 still in the same boat. We can do it Carla . Take care x
If your viewers fail know one knows but them but you Carla have to be in the spot light and also read all the comments from everyone I think your very brave ❤ I wish you ever success and have been watching from the beginning x
Great video, all you can do is keep trying. Unfortunately as we get older the extra weight does affect your health eventually. At 61 I am now the lightest I have been since my 30s. Keep at it.
Carla
Firstly let me say well done for loosing how much you have lost.
Its the hardest thing to loose weight, so from a person who really needs to loose weight I absolutely take my cap off to you
❤️xx
I can empathize. It doesn’t seem unusual that you have partially regained the weight. According to research studies, most people do regain some over time.
Still, you keep trying, and that bodes well for eventual improvement and success. That is what inspires me and others. Thank you!
Like you Carla , I’m also 50 in July and I really thought a big birthday would give me the incentive to loose weight, but it hasn’t and the months are quickly going by and the chances of me being Fit and 50 are pretty remote, but hey all we can do is start again tomorrow xx
It does get harder once you hit the dreaded menopause 😞 but keep plugging away ❤❤
I tried sw too but carbs are my nemesis. Sending you hugs 🤗 ❤
Love you Carla xx
You have so very hard at this,it will come back I’m sure x
Carla I listening to you and its like you talking about me I've put back on 4 stone and I'm trying I was lije you o was do good then no idea but I went gunho with anything in sight but I'm trying again xx good luck lovely lady ❤
I relate so much! 🙃
🤩 Carla, you do what you won't to do, the Bitches will still watch,😉 your bloody amazing 🤩, just keep going, because your NOT a failure. ❤️ Love to your mam. 🤗 You've got the same bloody Doctor as me. 🤭
Morning Carla, it's bloody hard I'm just the same as you I take 2 stone off then but it on again done this all my adult life but I keep trying, carla you are a good person and so honest that's why I whatch you and you have helped me with some of you food iders keep going love I'm starting again after Easter chocolate ❤😊🤗
I think u and me are like 2 peas in a pod mind set the same. I get and hear everything u say! I get how hard it is I get the eating too much etc etc. we can only but try and the not giving up is a big thing. Well done Carla u know u can do it just like I know I can ❤ everyday is a new day good luck x
Well put xx
I've watched your progress from the beginning. I remember what you've said on most fronts but good to have the recap for new viewers. Would you find a graph an incentive? Plotting the loss or gain. As it's visual and tells the story at a glance - depends what works for you but as ever I'm willing you on.
I was hoping you were going to tell us you are going on the weight loss tablets that the NHS is now giving ppl that are borderline diabetic, (not sure if you r in that category) And BMI is over 30. You had previously mentioned you might consider them. My sister and cousin are on this medication for diabetes (Both overweight) and are now 'slim' for the first time ever. As the 'side effect' of the med. is you go off your food, or find you cannot eat all you have on the plate.
Thank you for this vlog, i sat watching this with a box of chocolates on my lap, then i will hide the wrappers, im my own worst enemy.. xx
Hi Carla
Don’t know if you are much of a reader but I listened to another tuber and she said she has weight loss success when she read intuitive eating by Evelyn Trimbole. Just a thought 😊
Good luck this week Carla 😊
Hi Carla
You have still lost over 5 stone😉😊
Your usual brave and honest video. First, still congratulations on a 5 stone weight loss. Yes you've had a blip. But it is a blip. Would setting a target of holding your weight steady for a month be helpful to adjust? Finally hypnotherapy. I've not done it - but people v close to me have. You may not be suitable (I'm not apparently) ! A properly qualified hypnotherapist can tell after one session. Some will offer a free session to find out. A hell of a lot cheaper than a video course. Now shutting up. You are a funny, honest, lovely woman - nothing changes that. All good wishes. 💐
Wishing you well Carla.🙂
Hope you have a good week🥰x
Hello Carla, If I could wave a magic wand,I would for you .All I can say is ,you will find a way,and as you indicated only you can find it.But you have done it before and very successfully ,so you know you can do it again .We are heading into better weather maybe that might help.But very brave of you to be so open ,forget the past bury it into the bin,and look forward 🤗x
You sound just like me! I’m newly diagnosed with ADHD at 56years old!
One of the symptoms of ADHD is overeating!
It maybe something to look into?
Hi Carla , I am with you , ❤️🌹❤️I just can’t stick to it ,every Mon I am full of great intentions I might last a couple of days then the intentions have gone ,just great big hugs from me to you ,Katie
I really think that people have different ways of processing calories and some of us just like to hang on to them!! I wish these scientists would figure that out.
It doesn't help to be told to lose weight. That just makes me mad and ashamed.
Anytime I have lost weight it was due to a health scare. High blood pressure for instance, or my most recent, blood sugar that is creeping up into the pre diabetic zone.
My aching joints never triggered me to lose. I have had three replaced. That did help me to move around a bit better, I have to confess. I hope you get yours done in a timely manner. I know about the wait lists.
I appreciated your re cap. I don't think you lack intelligence or information at all. It is the motivation, right? And no one really has found the magic switch for that.
As always Carla, you are enough. Good enough, smart enough, funny enough. I enjoy your videos and podcasts. Be well.
Lynn here on Hubby's phone mines playing up 😏, You'll do it Carla Love , we both will 😊 , Just time , we'll get in that head space 😂😂, just never give up trying , hopefully it'll click before it goes back on , I hope so love , Take Care xx Oh and how's your lovely Mum going on ? Give her my love x
