I work from home and getting a walking pad for my sit/stand desk has changed my life. I'm losing weight (slowly) but beyond that, I just feel better knowing I can get 8-12k steps in before 5pm. I feel accomplished and proud of myself for moving my body when before I was sedentary all day, with the exception of the occasional workout class. Great option for people who don't live in walkable communities! Thanks for sharing your experience 🩵
As a woman on a similar journey, I felt those first few seconds. The way your self confidence grew in those few seconds during your before and after is so inspiring. Your body language speaks volumes!! I’m of similar build and so far have lost 18lbs since starting my journey in January, and man, that “privilege” statement is so true. I didn’t see change till I seriously committed to saving the money and time to be able to afford healthier groceries and access to gyms/classes. I’m glad you’re loving yourself girl! You deserve to love yourself no matter the shape but I’m glad you found your self love now ❤🔥👏 Thank you for being an inspo for us other gals out there!!
Ive followed you for a while on insta for clothing inspo and have only recently started watching your videos and it’s been so refreshing to see someone be so genuine, watching your videos has become something I look forward to!! 🥰💓
it wasn't always like this for me, but nowadays i honestly can't imagine not eating veggies every single day. a meal is incomplete to me without them and i actually enjoy them. it can happen!
I’m 5’4, my highest weight was 192, i got down to 135 in a few months, very quickly and I really didn’t do it in a healthy way. I still wanted to lose more when i was 135, but i got into a relationship and we would actually eat multiple times a day together which i was not doing before and I gained weight back. I was 160 and i was so disappointed in myself, now I’m trying to do it in a healthier way. Im 157 this morning which isn’t much lower but I’m trying to hold out hope. I also have pcos 🙃 but thank you for this video it genuinely helps to know other people have gone through similar experiences
Thank you for sharing your experience with us, it helps me a lot 'cause I'm currently going through this journey all alone. I'm 1.63 cm and 68.2 kilos and the effort I'm taking is unbelievable! But I'm starting to notice some results (2 weeks into diet and 5000 steps x day) and it's really helping my mental health! I've always been around 50 to 53 kilos but suddenly for many unfortunate reasons, I started to gain weight so slowly through out the years that I didn't even notice how much I've gained. I'ts really hard going through this journey but I'm determined to stick with it ✨ Sorry for my bad English, I'm Italian! Anyway thank you so much again for sharing your experience 🥰
Thank you for this video. I have struggled with my mental health for a long time, and my disordered eating has been bad for a while... I am so happy you mentioned how expensive it is to "eat cleaner", and how hard it is to have access to therapy if you are not from a certain economic background ❣
I feel so seen 🥹 I’ve been on my journey for just 8 weeks now and have lost 8 pounds. (214->206). No one talks about how hard it is in the beginning. Everyone loves before/after pics but right in the beginning is just so hard like you mentioned in your outro. Love these vids!! Glad to be here 🫶🏻
Omg congrats!! I’m looking to start my weight loss journey too and we are at the same starting weight so it is nice to see someone who started where I am being so motivated and seeing results 🥹🫶🏻
The bigest thing for me is definitely aesthetics. I know im overweight, and I try so hard to hide it. But i like that you mentioned it shouldn't be a priority, that the way you feel is most important before the way you look. Thank you for this!
I appreciate the honesty.I did broccoli and ranch dip for the longest time.I definitely say what work for one person doesn't work for most. I also experiment a lot with different exercises and it started with 30 day challenges.
Hi! Our stories are so similar. My highest was 190 and i lost 60 pounds (down to 130) however i gained 45 pounds back because of stress😅 now I'm starting again but NOT starting over. Wish me luck🎉❤
I’ve done good with my diet till a few weeks ago. I’ve allowed more processed foods to come into the house. I haven’t gained a lot of weight but it’s not good for me and is a slippery slope to my old eating habits. Thanks for the video. The food noise is unrelenting sometimes
i was the same lost 100+ pounds i still struggle with body image even at a normal bmi but i really am happier and healthier just not entirely with my body
I love seeing videos like this to see the womans perspective on this topic as everything she said is the same for us on the other side. Only difference is that instead of there being a secret, guys are more upfront and in your face about calling you fat as they have no problem flipping up you moobs in front of people no matter the location. Even the attention from the opposite gender, going from invisible to feeling like "okay now i'm worthy of love and won't get instantly shot down repeatedly", and don't confuse this as a pity party woe is me feel bad about men, but more of a we understand as we deal with it as well.
thank you i just thought about loosing weight again. i lost 15 pounds last time and i’m still the same weight but i want to loose more, not just because of my health but my self esteem. i’ve always wanted to be skinny… (but healthy too)
Please let me reach someone and say - you do not have to be in a place of privilege to lose weight! I’ve lost 15kg (33lbs) without ever stepping foot in a gym and on a budget in my 20’s! I walked daily for 30-40 minutes, did some leg and glute exercises in my room with some light weights and a yoga mat that I got from Kmart. I ate things like avocado on sourdough toast, wraps, some dark chocolate, drank tea, kombucha, sparkling water, crumbed chicken salads, mandarins, passion fruits, Vietnamese steak salads, scrambled eggs on toast with butter, chicken minestrone soups, 6 inch ham salad subs, bone broth mince and veggies, rice crackers, and so many other things. As long as you’re in a slight calorie deficit combined with being consistent and accepting that weight loss isn’t linear and you’ll have days where you eat more, and just love yourself and get right back on track, the weight will slowly come off. But you by no means need a personal trainer and a gym membership or all these fancy things to achieve it!❤💪🏽
The food noise is a big deal and a lot of antidepressants people don’t know that their medication helps with the food noise significantly. It’s one the modalities of a the med Contrave. And sometimes Contrave is given with Ozempic/Mounjaro or any other glp1. It’s a big deal and people need to do their research before taking that path
thank you for this video!! always a fun and helpful watch w/ you I remember the intro being a song I was super into, what song is it? my brain is itching trying to remember
Good lord woman you are STUNNING. I just found your channel and am on a weight loss journey myself! 12 pounds down since starting a carnivore diet 3 months ago due to health issues. Just wanted to point out how much the red/ black combo looks sooo good on you. The red and black lip, nails, and phone case… HOT 🥵 🔥
Boygenius tattoo?! 👀 Also nice video! Currently at the beginning of a fat loss journey and I like seeing other people share their stories :) it's reassuring to hear that it's a slow process. I've only been super committed for like 3 weeks now and I'm like .... C'mon let's see some changes!! Haha soon soon :)
While I’m not vegan, Freelee was the first person to open my eyes to how AWFUL American food is and how things that seem healthy are actually horrific for our bodies (not just fat, but the mechanic system of our bodies). Getting a dog has been helpful to get me up and walking outside multiple times a day as well. Now I have 10 stubborn pounds to lose lol (and/or transform into muscle)
very solid advice- except for the “needing to focus on getting enough/more protein since i’m vegetarian” bc if you’re competent in the kitchen (and everyone should strive to be) it shouldn’t be something you have to be overly conscious about (i’ve been a vegan for 10 years since 7th grade, never had an issue myself bc as long as (almost) every meal is balanced (some of each food group- look to three bean soups, chili, chickpea curries, anything with legumes for protein) you’ll be fine
Very good advice, so thankful this wasn’t a sponsored video that tried to sell us something. It was so refreshing to hear your story straight up. 😊
Totallyyyy agree that mental health is SUPER important in weight loss.
I work from home and getting a walking pad for my sit/stand desk has changed my life. I'm losing weight (slowly) but beyond that, I just feel better knowing I can get 8-12k steps in before 5pm. I feel accomplished and proud of myself for moving my body when before I was sedentary all day, with the exception of the occasional workout class.

Getting my walking pad tomorrow! So excited to be healthier

it wasn't always like this for me, but nowadays i honestly can't imagine not eating veggies every single day. a meal is incomplete to me without them and i actually enjoy them. it can happen!
I honestly wish this advice was given to all of us during COVID or a few years ago because you didn't lie about one thing.
I’m 5’4, my highest weight was 192, i got down to 135 in a few months, very quickly and I really didn’t do it in a healthy way. I still wanted to lose more when i was 135, but i got into a relationship and we would actually eat multiple times a day together which i was not doing before and I gained weight back.

for your safety, maybe you shouldn't tell people what studio they can find you at. just in case.
Wait Isn’t that her work studio? Like for customers
This was what I needed to hear to encourage myself to take steps for change. Thanks girlie 🥳

This was so helpful ! So straightforward and no bs.
Switching from soda/beer to sparkling water was a good move. It tricks my brain for some reason with the carbonization
I don’t like sparkling water but Kombucha did it for me 👌🏽
I feel so seen 🥹 I’ve been on my journey for just 8 weeks now and have lost 8 pounds. (214->206). No one talks about how hard it is in the beginning. Everyone loves before/after pics but right in the beginning is just so hard like you mentioned in your outro. Love these vids!! Glad to be here 🫶🏻

I enjoyed watching this video. It felt very comforting and like you were talking to us :)
You have such a refreshing view on things from other weight loss channels I’ve seen. You’re so well spoken ❤❤
One of the realistic advices I have watched! Great advice!
I love your honesty.
Off topic but I LOVE YOUR NAILS 😊
Hi! Our stories are so similar. My highest was 190 and i lost 60 pounds (down to 130) however i gained 45 pounds back because of stress😅 now I'm starting again but NOT starting over. Wish me luck🎉❤
Lets go ❤❤
I’ve done good with my diet till a few weeks ago. I’ve allowed more processed foods to come into the house. I haven’t gained a lot of weight but it’s not good for me and is a slippery slope to my old eating habits. Thanks for the video. The food noise is unrelenting sometimes
i’m trying to lose weight i’m 15 i weigh 64kg and i’m 5’1 and a half. this is really good advice and makes me motivated
i was the same lost 100+ pounds i still struggle with body image even at a normal bmi but i really am happier and healthier just not entirely with my body
VERY TRUE LOOSING WEIGHT NEEDS A BUDGET GYM AND HEALTHY FOOD IS EXPENSIVE, TRUTHS NEVER MENTIONED.
Thank you for this!

The bo-po and FA crowd are going to rip at ya for this one.
