      Sue here: no, not a failure. Weight and failure do not belong in the same sentence, Jen. Weight has nothing to do with failure. Some of us will fight the extra weight lifelong! Other people have other problems - we have the weight thing. We can still be healthy and love life and love cooking and love eating. And we will lose weight, and gain weight, 😮 but we can still keep working at it until we feel comfortable and healthy. Thank you so much for all your encouragement and hard work. Thank you for putting yourself 'out there' to motivate us too😊🧡.

You are not close to being done with anything. I did not like exercise but I can walk. Every morning before work and in the evenings (45 minutes to 1 1/2 hours) whatever time I could. Just became a part of my daily routine. Made me feel so good. You will figure out you, what will work for you. You are a beautiful person inside and out and I am here cheering you to that finish line where ever that might be. Stay positive. You have quite a sense of humor that helps you through as well. Take a rest, kick those feet up, and be kind to yourself over the holidays. Enjoy your family and let this stuff melt away from your mind for a little while. Merry Christmas with good memories!

    In late October of 2022 I started going on walks with my husband ( at almost 300lbs) short walks but we went every day, it meant snow and ice gear in the winter (and spring , we're in Canada) We took tea, picnic lunches ,started foraging, anything to make it more interesting. I now walk 6-10k a day at soon to be 53 years old( 4-6 1/2 miles) and have lost 85lbs,I'm still not under 200lbs but I'm getting there. I'm sure if I changed my eating habits I'd get there faster but I like calorie rich foods ( butter and cheese are life)

    I definitely know where you’re coming from. My highest weight was 312 lbs and I’ve lost about 124 lbs. I consistently exercise daily and I love it now but in the beginning I struggled and had to force myself to do it because my feet and back would ache so much. But it’s definitely worth it because I’m no longer in pain and at 46 yrs old I have truly never felt better.

    I have struggled with weight loss for many years. My doctor did offer Wegovi prescription to help me, finally! I just started the injections 3 days ago. I felt ok, and unbelievable, the noise for food does go away. My doctor said that as I get to the end of the week, you may start feeling hungry again, and then you knows it’s probably close to the day for the next injection. I will take this weekly. I was started on a low dose, and will ramp up every few week. My goal is to lose 65 lbs. I’m excited to see where this new journey takes me. Wishing you luck and I will be following right along with you

    Thank you so much for this video. I first found your channel with a failed bariatric search. I was so frustrated that my surgery didn't "work" and everyone on youtube who had had it was successful. It was the reality of what I needed to hear. It does not work for everyone and it rarely allows you to loose all the weight you want. I have battled with my weight all my life and you make me feel normal in my struggle, and optimistic to keep trying. Thank you so much. I couldn't imagine how hard it is for you to put your journey out for the public.
    With exercise, I found a CrossFit like gym that I go to twice a week. It is classes so I have to go at certain times on certain days which gets my ass in there, also it is the same people so they are now friends and support. On off days I walk. Either with my very slow dog, or to the pub and back for lunch with my husband (I'm in the UK so Pubs are more like restaurants, we don't day drink, lol), or to the caffe and back, or to do some sketching. Having a reward or purpose involved helps me make it happen.

I am SO damn tired of HAVING to think about what I eat every waking moment! I’m just old and cranky enough to decide I’m through with that. By now I know what I should or shouldn’t eat and how much (1-2 slices of pizza…not the whole pizza) and I think I’m doing a pretty good job with my on the spot choices. Love you girl! Isn’t it funny that people think we don’t know about our weight and they feel obligated to point it out. (Yeah BITCH? Well your concealer isn’t concealing a thing!!). …..I told you I’m cranky🫢. Ok! 2024 will be a great year!! Thanks for sharing the struggle! ❤🐾

    I love you being candid, Jen. As one who also struggles with weight (and have my whole life) I understand where you’re coming from. People can be brutal, but let those naysayers gab. You do what is best for you. Thank you for your honesty and transparency. Congrats on this new weight loss goal. I’ll be praying for you. Be blessed and Merry Christmas! ❤️🎄

    I loved the honesty in this video! As far as exercising goes, I despise it as well. However, I was diagnosed with high cholesterol (despite my healthy eating habits thanks to Celiac's). My doc said start walking on a regular basis, and I am on medicine for it too. It's definitely a genetics situation for me, so I knew I had to whatever I could control. So I put on a video-almost always yours-and walk on my treadmill just about every evening after I feed the dogs. It was difficult at first, but now it has become part of my daily routine. You have a busy life as a mom and wife, so it's easy to understand how your health isn't always priority because your family's health and well-being is. Sometimes we have to stop and take care of ourselves, though! You are a strong woman, and you can definitely get through this! I will be here cheering you on! Happy holidays!

    As a 36 y/o woman who has fluctuated everywhere from 350lbs to 175lbs in their adult life - I FEEL YOU GIRL! I've been told SO MANY times to "just lose weight" to fix my problems by Dr's. I was in my mid-twenties when I weighed 175 and I was eating so few calories a day I was literally blacking out and my Dr was like "Well, once you get down to your bodies healthy weight (in his opinion, 135) it will stop causing that to happen. Your body is telling you to lose weight." The things we deal with is completely ridiculous.
    I'll leave you with a thought that I've used to get me through the high-highs of my weight issues: I come from a family of addicts. Smokers, drinkers, pain meds, the harder stuff. There are a massive amount of addicts in my family. I know that my addiction is food. I get it. But the difference between food and every other addiction you can have is that you have to have food to live. You can't quit food cold turkey. You can't just stop buying it so its not in the house to temp you. You literally need it to live. For those of us who struggle with it, it will always be a struggle. Sometimes my will power is stronger than others.
    I wish you the best of luck with finding out what's going on surgery wise and may you continue to give yourself some grace in all aspects of your life.
