I Lost 45 POUNDS!!! My Weight Loss Journey (Before and After Pics)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 лют 2025
- I lost 45 pounds!!! I still have 60 more pounds to lose but I am celebrating my current progress. I only have one body and I am trying to take care of it. I only eat 1 serving of food each meal. I use to eat 2 to 3 servings, so that has definitely helped me shed the weight. I eat more vegetables than I have ever eaten in my whole entire life. I workout and drink lots of water. I will do a separate video about what I eat but I just wanted to update you on my progress so far. Hopefully this will serve as motivation for anyone that is struggling to lose weight. YOU CAN DO IT!!!

Happy Holidays! 😊
Thank you for sharing! This is so encouraging 💞
Thank you for sharing. Like you, I didn't do well on the Keto. I really didn't want to eat a lot of meat anyway. I can't wait to see what you ate. I am just starting my weight loss journey. What type of bike do you have. Can u share about it in one of your videos.
Awesome job. I decided to stop dieting and start eating better and moving more. 60 lbs down...awesome to see you doing well!
That's awesome!!! Congrats!!!
Me too. Real food and working out. No fast food or sweets.
Same here
Great job
I need to do the same
Good job girl.
Finally someone admitting keto ain for erybody
It really isn't!
KETO made me sick. I put excessive mucus on my body with all of the dairy and meats I was eating. I had mucus in my nose, chest, stool and urine. I developed shortness of breath that the Drs named asthma which I was not born with and never in my life had. I ended up in the hospital because I simply could not breath and was wheezing so bad. When they did my urine I was in ketosis. I go to the Dr regularly and never had my urine come back like that. I literally blew out so much mucus until I filled a 13 gal garbage back with tissue in 2 days.
I did a test. I would go to lunch at work and have something with cheese (which I adore) like a pizza and as soon as I got back to the office, my nose and chest would be filled with mucus. Today I am on asthma meds. I will go on another weightloss journey Jan 2 but it will be plant based. Sorry so long but I HATE KETO!!
Sis I tried it and felt sick, I always had the worst cramps at work! It really ain’t for everybody
Yeah it definitely didn’t work for me. I barely lost any weight and my tummy was not normal.
@@iamtrinajones I had chronic constipation and took Miralax just to use it. Not enough fiber on Keto.
I was laying in my bed talking to God about me being tired of looking and feeling the way I do about myself. I've tired different diets and fads, and nothing worked. I lost faith. I saw your video recommend for me. Thank you so much for inspiring to put faith in myself to do the work. Keep you your journey you look amazing.
Thank you. We are in this together! You will be at your goal in no time. We got this!!!

Sis! I tried the egg diet at the start of the month and lost 13 pounds in total (with some fasting here and there plus ACV drink). I had been tryna lose weight for 3 years and this was a kickstart for me. I ve been able to keep the weight off although Ive been having lots of carbs lately lol I went from 244 to around 230. (Fluctuates some days) all this to say , check the egg diet and see if its your thing too! Might help. Ure welcome:) ps: I wish someone told me about it years ago
Naw just eat healthy, portion control and move more. No more fads. That egg diet is a fad too.
@@LucienneoftheDreaming It is but it's also a great kickstart. just for 3 days. It's obviously not sustainable. It allowed me to lose a few pounds and be more optimistic about my weight loss journey:)
I’m not understanding what’s to “thumbs down” about her wanting better for herself, going after it, AND being successful.
#Haters
aphenomenallove you’ll always have some haters probably need all the motivation themselves
Some people just have fun hating. You don’t have to be doing anything for them to dislike because hate is their hobby.
Fat acceptance people that think dieting is a form of self hate🙄🙄 they’re literally reporting transformation pics on Instagram as ‘self harming’ and insta is taking them down🤦🏾♀️ I kid you not
UA-cam needs to start giving options to not just like but to love and so on just like fb because this deserves more than a like. Looking great.
Awwww thank you. I appreciate that.
Yes I was thinking the same thing lol. I’m like wait where’s the heart?? Lol
This is really motivating! I’m sick and tired of being sick and tired! This is the push I need. You look great! 🙌🏾👏🏾👌🏾
Thank you 🙌🏽
Gone girl! You look amazing. It's crazy what weight does to a person. It's bad on your joints & just make you look like a completely different person. You look fabulous! Keep up the good work!
Thank you 😊
You are phenomenal, I also lost 45lbs in 6 months. My heaviest was 305lbs. I am down to 260lbs. My goal is to loose 40-50 more pounds by April.
I tried Keto and was not successfully either. My nutritionist told me that anything that ends in DIET ends in FAILURE! You must change your lifestyle.
Keep up the good work
That’s awesome!!! Congrats on your progress so far. We will both reach our goals in no time . 🙌🏽
Kenyetta Wren ua-cam.com/video/j4NlzLxgU0w/v-deo.html
Kenyetta Wren I’m so glad that you put the right words out: “changing your lifestyle “.
If I see on UA-cam that someone lost weight than it’s always keto.
I’m so fed up with it but than again it is how a person feels to do so who am I to judge. If they feel good to do a diet than okay.
But I had it with the keto diet.
What did you do?? I'm currently 305 and keto is NOT for me!
Toni Bennett I cut out all fried foods, no bread, rice, potatoes etc. I eat meat and vegetables only. I also exercise 4 days a week, I take weight lifting and cardio kickboxing classes only.
Oh and I don’t check my own weight, I only weigh myself when I go to the doctor
Can’t wait to see the foods
Yes.. stay tuned
Omg you’re still around! One of the youtube og’s
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽😊😊😊😊😊😊 Congrats!!!! This is so motivating. I have 20lbs to go - I'm glad we're in this together!
CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!🔥
I have been on a journey as well. In January 2019 my blood pressure was 235/110. I was on my way to a stroke! In May 2019 I was diagnosed with a migraine so severe I almost fell down in the street trying to get to the ER. I joined a gym in June 2019. I'm down 30 pounds and within 5 pounds of my goal weight. Diet alone is not enough to lose AND maintain the weigh loss.
Thank you so much for sharing your weight loss journey with us
Thank you. Congratulations to you as well . Your story is so inspiring. #healthylifestyle 🙌🏽
Congratulations!!! I'm struggling, but I know I need to lose 60 pounds. I'm happy for you! This is encouraging.
Younique, I am SO proud of you!!! Girl, this just gave me the extra push to take my health more seriously in 2020!! Happy and healthy looks good on you!!!
Thank you so much
Go!!!!! Damn i need that so bad, health is definitely affected. 36 & over, it gets harder. This has motivated Me, you look great!! 60lbs. Is a lot, dont wanna look like a smoker. I think another 45 is good, but its not Me rt. Proud of you Sis!!!
Run on, girl. See what the end gone be.
Thanks
Congratulations girl!!! I went from 247 to 196 this year. Also did keto for a while and failed. Eating better and intermittent fasting helped me. Goal for 2020 is 36lbs.
Great job! Keep up the great work.
I am currently at 166 after being at 196, 3 years ago.
The past two years I have gone up and down with these 10-15 lbs.
My goal is to continue from my current weight. 155 is my goal!
We got this sis! 💪🏽❤️
Yes, we got this 🙌🏽
I’m so proud of you 👍🏾. Great job. I’m currently 239lbs and I’m ready to change my life style and ear healthy. Thank you for the motivation
Thank you for sharing. I’m struggling with my weight also and on top of it I’m short. So it’s really hard to lose the pounds. I’m looking forward to seeing what you eat.
Congratulations!! Somewhere along the way we've stopped promoting hard work and started celebrating hacks, cheats and short term solutions. Thank you so much for sharing and reminding us that anything worth having is worth working for!!
I'm trying to lose the 20 pounds I've gained. I've tried keto it was ok, I like intermittent fasting and eating twice a day. Good to see you back and you look good! Yay for exercise and getting our health in check.
Thank you
You just motivated me. I'm 245 right now & I prefer doing the exercise & eating more vegetables. It's a lifestyle adjustment.
I know you feel like yourself again!!! You’ll be at your goal in no time!!!
Thank you
SimplYounique You’re so welcome!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
You look awesome! I wish 200 lbs looked as good on me as it does on you. It is my heaviest I have ever been and I am starting my lifestyle change because of my health as well. Thank you for the motivation and I'll be tuning in to see what you eat.
This is amazing! You did all this in 4- 5 months! Congratulations! I'm super proud of you! I'm on a journey as well. I'm getting there!
Thank you. Best wishes on your journey
Good for you!! The struggle is so real when you are trying to lose weight. I was the same way with my weight. Every year I promised to do better, exercise more but each year I would not. Then 2years ago I said "Enough was enough." I went from 290lbs to 157lbs, I exercise 5days a week & do portion control. It was hard in the beginning but it has been working for me. So very proud of you!! Anyone who had lost as much weight as you deserves a round of applause 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽💕
Thank you!!! Congrats on your weight loss accomplishment. Your story is inspiring.
Thank you!! Your hard work will keep me going in 2020. I wish you all the best in the New Year!! 2020 will be here soon!! Looking forward to seeing your journey & your final fabulous results 💕
Congrats, your journey will motivate me to drop weight. It's time to peel off my old me and dress for my new me. Keep us updated on your progress and process.
Thank you. Best wishes to you. 😊
YASSSSSSS 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽 you look amazing I know it feels amazing to be making progress. KEEP IT UP!
Hi, Yes you can do it. Do give up. I'm going to start after the holidays. I what to say Happy Holidays to you and your family.
Thank you so much. Happy holidays to you and your family as well.
You go, girl! I'm proud of you. You inspire me, and I'm motivated again. All I need to lose is 35 pounds, and I've been trying for 6 years. After all these years, I'm down just 5 pounds. (SMH!) After watching you work out, I see now I have to work much, much harder. I also know food plays a big part in it too. I only eat right about 30% of the time. I look forward to watching your video where you share what foods you eat.
Try the egg diet :)
Omg... I feel you on Keto. I tried and couldn't hang. Now. I'm beyond heavy. I'm going to scrap it and eat sensibly, up my water and get that sleep. I can't wait to watch your journey continue. You're inspiring me to find a better way and get myself where I need to be to be the best version of myself I can be.
You can do it!! Best wishes on your journey!!!
Wow congratulations...you look great. I'm starting my journey this week and adding exercise, but more importantly eating better.
That's awesome!! Best wishes to you on your journey.
By far one of the most relatable weight loss videos I’ve watched so far! I am on a weight loss journey. I stop and go constantly. I eat pretty well, but I don’t incorporate the exercises I need in my life to help me lose this post baby weight. Thank you for inspiring me. You are beautiful at all sizes but you did that! ❤️
Congrats girl I plan on starting my weight loss journey🏃🏽♀️ again soon 200 looks good on you.
Thank you. Best wishes to you on your journey.
I was curious because my friend had lost weight and I wished to know how. They will suggested that I visit *2WeightLossFast. Com* . Once I listened to their advice, I lost 16 and a half pounds.?
Congrats! Super proud of you! You look amazing! I can't believe people would thumbs down this video... like really?.... evil, miserable people indeed. Keep up the good work sis!
Wow, I remember watching your hair tutorials, you were one of the first people I started watching on UA-cam.
It’s nice to know I’m not alone in this struggle, I recently gained 30 lbs through stress eating as well.
I’ll be joining you in spirit, I’m getting back in the gym this week. I love intermittent fasting, and just trying to eat as clean as possible.
Keep up the good work!!!
Thank you!!!! Best wishes to you on your journey. You got this 🙌🏽
Excellent job! I started Keto 3 yrs before it was a fad. It still works for me because I can eat like a beast when I exercise. It’s a non stop hunger solely to fuel my exercise. Also, I have FAR less inflammation on keto. Keep up the great work.
Congratulations!!🎊🎉
Thank you
Sisssss! Go sis, gooooo! This is the first video that popped up when I log onto UA-cam. I too, am starting my weight loss journey. I had a baby 14 months ago and this weight has got to go. I’ve never weighed as much as I weigh now in my entire life. It’s time to get to it!! Thanks for your transparency and real ness. You look great!
Can you also share your workout routine? That's where I struggle, I'm not sure what to do.
That is so awesome! Keep up the good work momma! You GOT THIS! 👍🏾💪🏽
You look marvelous, I have lost about 20 lbs, so I need to add an exercise routine to my rotation. Would you share your fitness routine and what apps you use if any. Thank you for sharing and Merry Christmas.
Hello, Great works keep up the good work. I would like to give you a Free eBook on weight loss that will help you on your journey through 2020 , just email me to: weight lost max@ gmail .com (minus the spaces)
Go heaaad Queen!👑♥️👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👍🏾 She at least is making effort & making herself better. There should be NO thumbs down here.
You go sis
Thank you
Go girl! I'm so proud of you. Keep it up 💪
GO KERRY GO!!!!
Thanks 🙌🏽
You look FREAKING AMAZING! But you gotta QUIT ghosting us. Love ya! ❤️
WOW 🤩 that’s was the motivation I needed I had a baby 11 months ago and have gained a lot of weight and have been struggling on how to start loosing the weight. I am an emotional eater as well. I work full time and in school part time and still have a baby so when I get stressed I eat. Any advice you can give?
Thanks. Try making a change to the type of food you are eating. Substitute bad carbs for vegetables. I’m going to share what foods have helped me so far. Stay tuned for that video.
SimplYounique I’m definitely looking forward to that video
Just absolutely inspiring! I hit the gym this morning with my dear friend and coworker because I said I would and it was much needed. I worked a 12 hours shift then exercised for 40 minutes. It was just what I needed, taking care of me! Thank You Jesus!
This was beautiful … no more fad diets enough was enough.
Kerry you didn't not come to play!! You did that. So, HAPPY for you well deserved!
Thank you so much
Great job! Keep going! To lose it even faster a plant base diet is your best bet and you don't have to workout excessively but to lose it even rapidly workout will aid in that too. I lost my weight with no exercise just simply changing how I eat.
You look AMAZING sis!! THANK YOU FOR SHARING YOUR JOURNEY.
I actually "got a little misty" watching this video. You look absolutely FABULOUS! You are an inspiration to many! Thanks for sharing your journey with us.
Black Queens we need to loose weight 😥😥😥
Tamika Payne I keep telling them being over weight is not cute they call themselves thick and think it’s cute it’s not cute at all it’s unhealthy stop trying to please men and take care of your over all health
Girl I been rocking with you for 9 almost 10 years. Let me first say I am so proud of you. Good job!!! I myself have packed on the pounds stress eating and feeling sorry for myself. Well I love myself and it is time I start acting like it again. I got on EBay ordered my Focus T25, and cut out the sugar and carbs. I hope that I have the same success as you my friend. Keep up the good work.
Thank you !!! You got this! Best wishes to you on your journey.
Amazing transformation! I'm currenty documenting my weight loss journey starting from 282.8 pounds. I'm so motivated by your results!
Thank you!!! Best wishes on your journey. You got this!!!
@@SimplYounique Thank you!! ❤
Who would not like this?? Some people kill me!! Great job sis!! Keep it up! You are such an inspiration!🤩
Thank you
So happy for you. Congratulations and keep up the good work.
You go girl! I love that you decided to lose weight for YOURSELF and YOUR HEALTH! ♥️
Thank you
You look amazing girl yesss!!!! Just the motivation I needed to get this baby weight off! I just had twins in May and I’m freaking huge but please believe I am determined to lose this belly 🙌🏽🙏🏽‼️
Congratulations on the new additions to your family!!! You got this. That weight will be gone in no time 🙌🏽
Ya!!!!!! You go girl, I'm cheering for you to hit your goal, which I know you will! I'm down 20 lbs since 7/2019 and still working to get 50 more off! Keep up the great work!!!!!
Thanks!!! Congrats on your progress so far. That’s awesome!!!!
The part about surrounding yourself w health conscious people is sooooo important! Being around ppl that don’t care about what they eat or maintain unhealthy habits is one of the easiest ways to fall off track.
Glad to have you back on here lady!! You are still beautiful as ever!! Blessings Sister! 💕🌟👑
Thank you
Fantastic! You look amaze-balls. You have got to be one of the most determined women that I've witnessed. Whether it be growing out your hair or weight loss..you get it DONE! All the best, beautiful!
How wonderful. Very inspiring. Congratulations to you and your health.
Thanks so much sharing and showing real footage and pictures. When a person is heavier, is hard to get motivated looking at pictures of people who are already thin saying that they lost weight or worked out. I really appreciate you sharing this with us.
You are so welcome
Wow amazing transformation! I am on a weight lost journey as well. When i am stressed i listen to music or write, and sleep. But God be my witness i will reach my goal weight. My bf is doing the same so together we will lose the weight...lets get it!!!!
Thank you for being transparent and honest about your journey!! Please share the exercises you did also.
Girl, I just wanted to encourage you. I have lost 53 lbs and in the last few months gained back 12. I know I can do it and you have shown that you can too. You are a beautiful black queen no matter what and don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. Blessings from the UK. Jacqui
Thank you so much
SIMPLY AMAZING Im 16 and 100 kg i dont really use pounds and u rlly did motivated me im about to start the gym tomorrow.....wish me the best
You go girl!!! With weight loss, you have to find what works best for you!! Every diet ain't for everyone!! I've lost and gained weight myself! I dont eat crazy, BUT I had foot surgery and have been inactive since June! I just got the ok from the Dr that I can go back to working out, so I'm super excited to be back in the gym!
Thumbs down is too lazy to lose weight. Subbed because it's inspiring and I'm looking through your videos and they're all short and too the point!! Great job, you look great 😍
Wow!!! What an inspirational journey! I’m hoping to achieve the same success you have!!! Thanks for sharing!! You are PHENOMENAL!!!! Congratulations 🎉
I’m so proud of you. I tried keto and lost 25 pounds but then had to stop so now I’m trying different methods and now adding exercise to my regimen
Thank you!!! Congrats on your progress and wishing you continued success on your journey.
Congrats!! Your hard work is definitely paying off! You have motivated me to get back to my journey! Thank you! 💜

So proud of you!!!!! Thanks for the inspiration!!!! Blessings!!!!!
YOU GO GIRL. IT'S NOT EASY TO DO! BRAVO
I've always thought you were beautiful period! I appreciate that you have always been transparent about your weight and health journey. That 200lbs is everything, you look great!
Thank you so much
I’ve been a subscriber since 2011, when I found you during my natural hair journey. I’m so happy to see you’ve seen success in your weight loss journey. I also have about 80 lbs to lose, so this video was right on time. Let’s do this, sis! Continue reaching and achieving!
Thank you !!! You can do it!!! 2020 is our year!!!
What an INCREDIBLE transformation and this ain’t even your final form!! 🤩🙌🏾🙌🏾 I cannot wait to see the next few videos coming up all about your weight loss!! Definitely looking forward to the what I eat in a day video 🙏🏾
You go girl!!!! I’m so happy that you are seeing results!!!!
You look fantastic!!! Your hard work & dedication has definitely paid off!! Congratulations!! Keep up the fantastic job!
Omg.... The transparency is very motivation. You are truly a Queen
Thank you 😊
It is so good to see you again I am so happy with your progress. I have been watching you over the last couple years and you’re so real, I love it. I would be more than happy to take this journey with you so I will post my results. Starting weight 230. Goal weight 150... Take care!
Thank you !!! Wishing you all the best on your journey. 2020 is your year! 😊
Yes! I am so happy for you. I am starting my vegan lifestyle and workout plan on January 1st. This just made me even more excited. Keep up the great work! ❤️
Congratulations! You look great and like you feel good too! Keep up the good work, can’t wait to see the food vid.
You look amazing💪🏾, I lost 50 lbs but I didn’t do keto or IF. I replaced breakfast and lunch with a green smoothie, did cardio and light weight training, and drink nothing but alkaline and spring water and the pounds just start coming off. I’m 43 year old grandmother who went from 242 lbs to 192 lbs, a size 18 to a size 10, and been maintaining that weight for 6 months. Now I’m getting ready to start sculpting my body. Keep up the good work work! Love the video.
I am extremely happy for you. I know it’s not an easy journey, but you’re showing it can be done. I too am on a journey and it definitely isn’t easy. I have 3 more lbs to go to meet my 40 lbs weight loss goal and I swear it’s taking forever. Just know that hard work pays off and stay committed to your goals. Best wishes!
Great job! You've inspired me to start my journey to get down 60lbs
Thanks!!! You can do it. I'm rooting for you.
You are a amazing woman!! Phenomenal. I am also an emotional eater. Haven’t quite gotten over mastering my inconsistency . You are an inspiration to all women with similar struggles 🥰🥰🙌🏾
Great job and kudos to all of your hard work. This is very encouraging to see. Like you, I am an emotional eater and have gained a ton of weight over the last couple of years. It’s inspiring to me to see someone lose weight the “old fashioned” way - eating healthily and moving more!
Thank you
