Carla did you start this channel when you began your weight loss journey? 🖤 🤍
Hi Carla, my wife and I are on a journey to being healthy and fit. Your channel is educational and inspirational. I weighed 312 lbs one year ago, I am now 269 LBS. (with much more to come). I hope you are enjoying a fabulous summer!
Who gives a thumbs up before even watching the video? 🙋🏾♀️
Carla, thank you for your honesty, and transparency. You are a person of integrity as you do as you say and it's highly appreciated. Blessings to you and continued success.
Thank you so much xx
💕💕Here from April Lauren’s YT channel and the video from her series “WakeUpBright” dated 11/15/22 - I am almost right at 180lbs lost and hoping to lose another 70lbs or so (Keto/Elliptical/sometimes Adipex) with the goal of attaining my first successful pregnancy. Love to meet another on any facet of the same kind of journey!
Welcome Laura x
This video was one of my favourites that you’ve done!!
Thank you so much for all your guidance and sharing!!
Much love 🖤🤍
Carla your videos are so inspirational and powerful. I was one of those people that kept putting of my weight loss but after listening to you just a few times I have started eating healthier and have already lost 6 pounds. I know that is not a lot but I feel so good. Thank you. I listen to numerous videos on your channel everyday to keep me motivated and in track. ❤
🖤 🤍 Thanks Carla. I may only have 40 lb to lose but it's a struggle 5' 2" 67 years. Lost 20 lb a year ago , lost 20 inches, then got injured put it back on. Watching 1-2 videos per day to keep me focused. Back to walking, 10,000 steps , your voice and tips is starting to echo in my head! Lol I even talked myself into fixing a meal and not buying out because I thought of you.
That was the most amazing talk I have ever heard! So inspiring. It can be applied to more problems than just weight loss. I hope that many people can hear this and it helps them take those first steps... I think most of what we deal with is psychological and if we dive into ourselves and forgive ourselves first and understand our reactions that goes along way!! Most times then you can make up your mind that you and you alone can make it happen!! Thanks so much for putting yourself out there! You are amazing!!
Thank you so much Diane xx
🖤🤍 Carla, you are such a beautiful soul to share your deepest struggles and tips with us for weight-loss. Your honesty and knowledge is so helpful along our own journeys. Thank you ever so much!!! 🤍🖤
🖤🤍 Great lesson. Hard work.
🖤🤍❤️🔥
Your reaction, your responsibility. That’s so powerful! That really clicked for me! THANK YOU!!!
🖤🤍
🖤🤍
Amazing!!! Thank you, Carla. I have no doubt your inspiration is affecting more people than you know because you have succeeded spectacularly in what so many are trying to do. Your wisdom you have gained through your journey is so wonderful and you are great at putting it into words. Thank you so much for sharing!🖤🤍
Thank you Wendy xx
PREACH IT!!!! Until we own our choices, we can't change our outcomes. ❤🙏🤟 Yes, our pasts may be full of tragic events. We all have the ability to make a move toward freedom from food issues. I'm 18yrs post gatric-bypass and have been blessed to have kept most of my weight off. I tell anyone that asks questions about the surgery that it doesn't fix your headspace! I've worked in an office w/ 20 or so folks that had the surgery & only about 2 of us have kept the weight off. Ms Carla is spot on that the biggest obstacle is our mindset. Own the emotional issues that are allowing you to use food addiction as a crutch to not face the pain. I'm 48 & have dieter since I was 9, starting w/ the cabbage soup diet my mom put me on. I wasn't even obese back then like a lot of kiddos these days. It started a lot of decades of negative issues w/ foods. I've indulged in all forms of disorders & all the diet hacks. I STILL have to be meticulous on what I eat & move my body. Carla is again right, the weight is just a side effect. You are all beautifully & uniquely made. You can be a light for someone else by showing via your life testimony that success comes in all types of styles - perseverance is the common denominator. 🙌🙏🤍🖤
🖤 🤍 Good morning Carla! I came across one of your videos just by chance and am so happy I did!! You are so inspiring and have helped clear up some uncertainties I've been dealing with through my weight loss journey! Thank you!!!!
This is an excellent video. Question regarding bingeing- one reason I have binged in the past was due to not consuming not enough calories (due to trying to lose weight quickly). Is this something you have ever dealt with? It is my main fear about Bodyslims. Not sure if you can address this but would love some feedback about this. Thank you for this video. 🖤🖤🖤
As a result of your channel & my desire to shift three stone I’ve just completed my first one hour walk…oh boy do I hurt.
Awe I hope you feel better today xx
@@HalfofCarla A Little better thank you & smashed the walking today.
🚶🏾♀️🚶🏼♀️🚶🏿♀️🚶🏻♀️🚶🏽♀️
🖤🤍I had a good cry. Thank you so much for your insight and sharing ❤️
Best video Carla. Loving yourself and taking responsibility are the best lessons of all 🖤🤍
Thank you Suzette x
#4... Difficult to accept about ourselves but in the end permanent growth will not happen unless we acknowledge this 👏👏
Lesson 2. Deprivation can lead to binging. So very true 👍
🖤🤍 Another wonderful and timely video, Carla! It's like you're in my head, telling me what I need to hear, when I need to hear it! Round 1 of BodySlims almost done, and I'm looking forward to Round 2 in January. I'm a bit nervous about the period between now and the January start....I fell into the dreaded middle today. But self-compassion, reflection, and consistency will win in the end.
Also, I ordered a necklace/earrings set from Addrianna as my most recent reward. It arrived over the weekend and is just stunning! Yay for beautiful jewelry!!!!
Awe amazing, I’m so glad you liked it 🖤
Ich danke dir! Du hast mir gerade sowas von geholfen! ❤️💕❤️
Very powerful and Dead On Correct!!! Thank you for sharing some of yourself with us!!! You are gift.
Thank you so much Christopher!
🖤 🤍 wow, thank you! Your videos are so powerful. I listen to them twice sometimes when I’m commuting. Thank you Carla❤
Absolutely fantastic video, Carla! Brilliant. THANK YOU !!! I LOVE what you said about self-responsibility WITH total self-love and compassion for self....
.You are incredible. I discovered your videos only about 2 weeks ago.....I have watched SO MANY already.
I Think of your videos and tips when I am walking, shopping for food, cooking, it IS such a helpful inspiration! The excess pounds are starting to melt off me....sometimes so slowly, sometimes a bit faster, but I am Being MORE CONSISTENT with my inputs ...... and am so happy I' m now moving in the right direction! MANY, many blessings and thanks to you, from New York. :) And.....Best of luck to everyone here on their slimming and health journeys.
Omg Carla, crying! WOW wow wow, so powerful. Thank you. Can't say thank you enough , you do not know how helpful you are 🖤🤍
🖤🤍
🖤🤍 Always sooo inspirational, thank you for sharing and being transparent. 💕💜
🖤🤍 I think you stated everything so well here. Yes others may have caused certain traumas, but it's ultimately how we respond in order to live a full life.
Thank you Amy, a lot of people aren't ready to accept that x
This is such a powerful and meaningful video. You are doing so much good for so many. I am sure at times this can be exhausting, but you are such an important voice. Thank you for giving so much of yourself to your channel and to your viewers. 🖤🤍🌹
Thank you so much Julianna, I love what I do but you're right it can takes its toll, so comments like this reinforce that what I do helps to make a difference and spurs me on even more. I honestly believe my calling on this earth, at least for right now is to help people x
You should write a book !it's been so very long since I've felt able to tackle my weight gain from years of binge eating .e erything you saying so true thank-you so much for this ..I've watched it twice xxlove to you and your family xyou have given me so much hope xxx
Thank you Jane xx
@@HalfofCarla You could write a book or make a documentary film, for sure. Lots of wisdom to say, offer, and share!
🖤🤍
I am sorry I've been off youtube for quite awhile! It's for a good reason -- I had midterm projects to work on for some certifications I am working on. These are things I didn't ever think I would be good enough to do -- but I am. It's funny to look back and understand that, from addressing my trauma, that with this and with weight loss, I held myself back regardless of the cause, before. I am feeling so much better, even now. I am in a bit of a plateau, and my weight loss journey is much slower than others might expect due to major injuries, but I feel happy anyway. I had a plateau happen exactly at this time last year, as well :D And for anyone who needed to hear it today -- it's OKAY if things don't go exactly as planned, just keep being consistent and be kind to yourselves. Almost down 97lbs this week, by the way! Nearly there (: And that's just scale numbers, minding what you've mentioned about non-scale victories. I am two full sizes down in clothing, which feels absolutely WILD to me! As always, thank you so much for all you do. I'll do my best to catch up on all your wonderful and helpful posts from this last while.
Well done, what an accomplishment. You had studying, weight-loss and Christmas to deal with. Now a month later, hope all is continuing for you with weight-loss.
🖤🤍…☕️
Absolutely spot on I believe! Great video Carla. You are so beautiful inside and out. Thank you for sharing. I’m getting there. ❤🖤🤍❤️

How did you truly internalize taking responsibility without blaming others for their part, and therefor know (not intellectually, but really know) that you had the power to change your relationship with food? It's one thing to know something intellectually, and it's another to be filled with an understanding that alters how you see something and feel about it.

🖤🤍 I did really well my first round of BodySlims. This round (my second) I haven’t done well and I’m disappointed. But I’m trying to stay focused on showing up for myself. I love that mantra. I am out for my hour walk right now… I am going to sign up for my third round of BodySlims and continue to show up for myself. Trying not to beat myself up, trying to learn what it is I need to understand about myself to better cope and ultimately succeed. 🤍🖤

Just discovered you yesterday 🖤🤍 . I've lost 50 lbs and have figured out some things but need to lose 50 more. You are saying things to make me think about things to motivate me for the rest of my journey. Thank you. ❣️

🖤🤍 I have to keep watching this until I can incorporate the principles. Today, looking at "get out of hell before the devil knows you're dead". I can't exercise until it's light out. I live in a forest, bears, cougars. But I struggle with paperwork. So today the cat woke me an hour before I have to make breakfast for the clan, and I thought about what you said, and I did an hour of dreaded paperwork and was SO proud of myself by breakfast, that l'm starting to get how this brain shift works. When you start your day off right, perpetual motion keeps you heading in the right direction 👌 for today, I'm good ❣️🖤
