- Hi guys! In this video I get personal about My Weight Loss Journey and How I Lost 30kg as a teen. These are the tips that helped me along the way and hopefully, some of you will find them useful too! Thank you so much for watching!
*Trigger Warning
If you have/are struggling with an eating disorder or find topics like calorie counting to be a sensitive subject please do not watch the video! Your recovery and mental health is way more important!
Also, I want to make it clear that the figure on the scale is not the important part! This is different for everyone and by no means am I suggesting anyone with a similar figure should lose weight! This is purely based off of my previous and current lifestyle.

TIPS from my personal weight loss journey (almost 20KG of fat loss in 5 months !) :
I came from the same situation : 89KG for 1,73M, very sedentary and ashamed of myself.
I started taking things in control in July 2021.
So far, in December 2021 I lost 15KG on the scale, plus muscle gain (since a major part of my workout schedule is musculation).
I went from 89KG to 74KG in 5 month.
The last thing I wanted was to diet and torture myself, because it has never worked for me before.
What I did :
- doing some fondamental research about nutrition
- calling my new diet a "food rebalancing” = I didnt focus on calories. Only on getting all my nutrients AND NOTHING MORE
- getting enough SLEEP : I realized that when I am tired, my body craves for junk food and forgets about balance
- cutting off most processed food and junk (where you can find a huge amount of useless calories, sugar and toxins)
- baking my own treats, choosing my portions and finding healthier alternatives (ex: crushed banana to replace sugar)
- finding my personal balance between protein, carbs and fats
- listing my favorite food in those three categories and making my meals around these
=> when my diet got really balanced and healthy, I realized I couldnt even reach my usual amount of calories ! I was always in a deficit BUT was still getting all the nutrients my body needed to feel energized and satiated.
- speeding my metabolism :
- drinking 2 to 3L of water a day
- drinking teas and infusions
- lowering coffee to 1 or two per day
- first thing in the morning : having a lemon juice cut with water
- chia seed with oatmeal and crushed banana (for sweetness) for breakfast
- from time to time : ginger in my tea
=> eating healthy food and adding diuretic tips (lemon, tea, chia, ginger) was a true DETOX for me, and that is crucial : initially, your body makes body fat in order to protect your organs from toxins, its like a shield. SO draining the toxins tells your body he doesnt have to maintain this shield anymore => it can eventually release the fat ! Doing this I lost about 3KG in 15 days.
- breaking sedentary lifestyle :
- doing 6000 to 1000 step per day
- stand up every hour to walk around my apartment, do some chores, make some tea...
- planning at least one outing per day
- WORKOUT !!!!!!
- ask yourself which sport attracts you (me : Ive always loved water so I started to swim and then discovered aquabike, aquaboxing, aquagym etc. ; and I was fascinated by the world of boxing so I started boxing in a club)
- dont kill yourself with cardio : it works short term for calorie loss, but musculation will help you lose more calories during AND after the workout (because muscle recovery takes energy to your body)
- do a little bit of cardio for STAMINA => the more you have, the longer and harder youll be able to workout !!
- make workout a part of your daily planning : dont be like "I know I HAVE to workout today so Ill do it when I have the time - probably at 10p.m.". Me : I decided to register to lessons in a club, so my workouts are proper outings (including socially !) and they are scheduled.
- workout three to six times a week, with intensity and activity variations ! Me : I do boxing twice a week, have a dancing class, workout on weight machines with a group of women once a week, and end my week in a pool where I do a bit of aquabike and hydraulic massage !
Hang in there! I will follow suit!
this is awesome! thanks for the tips:)
Read the whole thing. Thanks so much for sharing your tips.
Hello i just decided to start my journey today and while searching found the video and then your comment. It was really helpful to me cause I also don't want to refrain myself from eating all the great foods that God has gifted us. But i certainly do have my most liked and least liked foods so as you said I'm going to base my meals on them. Thank you~♡
@@donyam7905 taking a moment to list all the healthy food you love the most is key 🌹🌹🌹 It helps you remembering that some good stuff actually give you the same amount of satisfaction as processed food (for me : salmon, avocado, passion fruit etc.), and gives you the feeling that YOU are choosing your diet, instead of somebody telling you that you have to eat brocoli or quinoa or ginger etc. You control and choose what you eat. I know we don’t hear that a lot when it comes to « diet » but I think it’s essential to make you having fun when you eat and not make you feel like you’re punished or restrained or something !!

Omg love this😂❤️❤️
@@katarinapezer7767 hahahah loved it
Yeeeaah... might want to wise up on that.
Not eating after 8pm and having a green tea before bed is a game changer!
Sure if you want to be awake the whole night
@@juliathomas95if you want to, you can always drink it before a workout!! This is what I do personally and it works really well for me! 😊
But can you sleep then?
Peppermint tea is good too! It helps digestion and doesn’t have caffeine
There is no time you should stop eating. It’s all about the calories you consume.
I am 190 I always been 145 my whole life at one point lower than that I've gained over 50 lbs in the last 4 years and now that I am engaged I am wanting more to be healthy again. ua-cam.com/users/postUgkx5VQ5nUzHu6i0O5_u7ipyLnCz0lbsSvr0 I am not fat but I am thick and have muscle. I am very close to how you were but a lil smaller but I am so sick people making comments to me like I'm huge or like you said having shorts that used to be so cute on me and now I can't even find a pair to fit me. I used to love shopping now I don't even want to go to the store and if I do I pick the biggest size don't even try it on and deal with it. I went from size 5 to size idk because I don't even want to know the real number. I hate looking at pics of myself now or me before. thank you for your video it's time to make a change.
DISCIPLINE IS KEY. You can get motivated for a week or two, but consistency then becomes a problem, it is short term journey can't lie when we rely on motivation. discipline is the medicine we need to stay consistent
So true
Completely agree, ultimately your body will take you to the gym when you don't even want to. Discipline is key.
yeah, you can't rely on your motivation all the time to build a habit, and it's a lesson i learned really late. you can 'feel' like you don't want to go out for a run, but it needs to be approached as if it's something as habitual as brushing your teeth. if you can get yourself to get out of bed, brush your teeth and put on your jogging clothes and shoes and take that step out of the house without overthinking it and relying too much on what you feel like doing, that's when your approach changes. because anyone would prefer to stay in bed and not go out, if everyone relied solely on motivation then it would be really hard to form consistent habits. it's another thing if your body is telling you it's sore and tired, i think finding that balance in listening to your body and approaching exercise and other lifestyle changes without relying too heavily on motivation will have you set.
I‘ll keep coming here to get motivation and keep y’all updated:
Start : December 2021 : 70,9 kg ; 163 cm
Goal: 50 kg
how’s doing?? :))
You've got this
how are you doing so far?
You got this!
@Cili .-. ooo we are the same size!! What workouts are you
doin or what food u eating? And btw you got this!!
I recently lost 23kg, I used to be 77kg but after 6 months of calorie deficit I dropped to 54kg and I couldn't be happier. My relationship with my body and food is so much better, I eat whatever I want but in moderation!
That is AMAZING! 🥰❤️
What did u dooo😅🥺 I actually „just“ wanna loose 8-9 kg but its so hard :(
may i ask how much calories u counted?
do u have any loose skin I'm so scared of it smsnjs congrats btwww
@@voldemortslostnose8658 that’s only with extreme weightloss. 20 kilo is ok. Especially when your young
"dont eat while standing"
me while cookng: grabs chocolate and sits on kitchen floor
Hahahahaaa! I still do this at times 🙈 x
MY RELIGION SAYS THAT AND I DON’T FOLLOW THIS THING BECAUSE I THINK IT’S STUPID NOW IT MAKES SENSE
@@genzz3662 what's your religion?
@@tebaawad7653 but islam said that we should just drink water sitting not eating 🧍♀️
@@user-ih1dm9sm9l It didnt say that it is haram or you shouldn't to , but it said it is better too
ويؤيده تتمة حديث أنس في النهي عن الشرب قائما " قَالَ قَتَادَةُ لأنس : فَقُلْنَا فَالْأَكْلُ، فَقَالَ: "ذَاكَ أَشَرُّ أَوْ أَخْبَثُ " .
قال ابن حجر " قيل وَإِنَّمَا جُعِلَ الْأَكْلُ أَشَرَّ لِطُولِ زَمَنِهِ بِالنِّسْبَةِ لِزَمَنِ الشُّرْبِ " انتهى من "فتح الباري
Those are some of the sahabah who said by that time it is better not and obviously anyways I guess it is better to not eat standing cause it is unhealthy
"I have struggled with my weight my whole life" I felt that deeply😭
Now?
I lost 17kg with zumba and didn't do any diet, it might help you too
@@Assia131whats that? NVM
I'm glad you're being real with people about how to lose weight sustainably. It took me a year and a half to lose 40 pounds, but I've kept it off and never felt like I was starving.
I know alot of people shit on weightloss , but weightloss for me and getting fit gave me the motivation for life again, I was overweight and depressed, I hated how I looked and how I felt.
Losing weight gave me a new love for life.
I felt the same!
I want to experience that! T_T Do u have any tips to stay motivated?
@@minfires7572 take your time! motivation is overrated when it comes to weight loss because I had several fuck it moments during my weight loss too. All I can say is to be consistent when it comes to picking yourself up after bad days. never stop trying to eat better and move more but also remember that its ok to trip up once in a while as long as you pick yourself up by the boot straps and try again tomorrow :) Hope that helps, but so often people give up because they have a 0-100 mentality when life doesn't work that way cause shit happens.
**also extra tips but if you live alone or are able to purchase your own groceries , don't keep any triggering binge foods, or if you can find for low calorie healthier options for your trigger foods even better! , at least until you get better at self control, and definitely take progress pictures and have one clothing item that you can use as a measure of progress because the scale is a scam for most people!**
Yes. Don't let the fat acceptence people tell you, losing weight is 'fatfobic' or anything like that. Or that the health problems are only correlations and being fat doesn't actually cause health problems. It does cause them, and imo it's borderline criminal to try to prevent people from losing weight in a healthy sustainable way. Sure, cancel the detox teas, k-pop diets, etcetera. Slow or moderate weightloss by replacing junk food with vegetables, or juices and sodas with sugarfree tea and water isn't a bad thing. It's a great thing, as long as you don't take it to an extreme. No cutting out all carbs or 500-cal diets.
I had someone where I work tell me to stop losing weight cause my face was looking gaunt. I'm still at least 30lbs overweight. I still plan on losing that mucb
To anyone who's reading this:
You are strong. You are beautiful. You are powerful.
Remind yourself that working out is not a punishment for what you ate, but a celebration of what your body can do!
I hope you have a fantastic day :))
Thank you, you motivated me so much🥺
thankyou
No I am not strong, I am not beautiful, but with work I can be. Just because you say something does not make it true.
@@erinshepard9093 well, ofcourse when you tell yourself “i have a sixpack” and “I have the body of a bodybuilder” it is not working without putting effort in it... but what she is trying to say is that you ARE strong, you ARE beautiful. Because those are things that happen from the inside, when you believe in it, and not things you have to work towards by saying: WHEN i have a sixpack, i would find myself beautiful, or WHEN I do 10 pushups I would be powerful and strong. No. Those are things from the inside.
no u
I nearly bought a Dominoes tonight, but I used EVERYTHING in me to fight the temptation. I managed to cook myself something healthy instead of getting a Friday night takeaway, but because this was such a new decision for me, I actually have anxiety because Im not doing what feels familiar. Can anyone relate?
Go to abbie sharp . She gives amazing dietitian advice.also she's a registered dietitian
Also, can I just say I love how open you are about loving to eat lmao. So many influencers that give diet and fitness advice like to pretend they never have cravings and being skinny is a breeze for them, so its refreshing to hear someone who successfully lost the weight be honest about it.
Yes its really inspiring.
Her accent is so beautiful. I love the way she explains things haha
Hahahah thank you so much!😆❤️
Reminds me of Amy Winehouse . So beautiful!
It’s so funny you said to watch UA-cam for motivation cause that’s literally what I’m doing rn with your video! I’m currently 29lbs down and struggling a little knowing I still have a long way to go so I’m constantly looking for motivation to help me out. Congrats on your weight loss!
29lbs down! That is amazing! Glad my experience is helping to keep you motivated with your own journey. You have got this!
@@EcemGundogan thank you so much!
hey, congrats:) would you mind telling me how you lost 29lbs?
Bouchra Guemmi thank you! Of course, i know this isn’t for everyone but I follow slimming world, not 100% I kinda use that for inspiration and do my own thing but I would recommend calorie counting. then I just do a 15-20 ish minute workout from UA-cam, I try to aim for everyday since I only do 15 minutes exercise but I’m not hard on myself and I do miss days sometimes. I usually do cardio or hiit or something full body just cause it makes me sweat more but any will do. Lily Sabri, EMI Wong and Chloe Ting are my main sources. I hope this helps, if you have anymore questions or need anything explaining in depth please ask :)
@@rachaelrebecca7905 keep going don't Stop I am also on my weight loss journey down by 12lbs ... 30lbs more to go

*I can see the dedication and hard work you've put in to achieve such incredible results. Your story gives me the motivation to stay focused on my own health goals. Thanks for sharing your ups and downs, it's a reminder that progress is possible with determination!*
this is so far the best video i've seen on weight loss- realistic, positive and motivating! thank you, you're lovely!!
I love how honest and real you are, thank you so much for your tips will try them all !
I just want to congratulate you on your weight loss journey. STARTING is hard enough, but to put it on youtube for the WORLD to see? INSPIRING. I'm also documenting my journey on my channel & seeing this MOTIVATES ME.
The don’t eat while standing up is such a great tip that I’ve never heard of before! It’s so easy for me to do especially when cooking meals. I definitely plan on incorporating this into my life! Thank you! You’ve made amazing progress! Great video :)
Romans 8:38-39 For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were either one or the other! So, because you are lukewarm-neither hot nor cold-I am about to spit you out of my mouth. You say, ‘I am rich; I have acquired wealth and do not need a thing.’ But you do not realize that you are wretched, pitiful, poor, blind and naked. I counsel you to buy from me gold refined in the fire, so you can become rich; and white clothes to wear, so you can cover your shameful nakedness; and salve to put on your eyes, so you can see. (Revelation 3:15-18) you cannot live for this world and not try to stop sinning (being cold) and only believing in God(hot) without turning from sin or sinning and saying God will forgive you after or not read the Bible, pray, worship/obeying God. Which is being a lukewarm. If we are neither cold or hot, God will spit us out his mouth.
Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders 10nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. 1 Corinthians 6:9-10
For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. John 3:16
Proverbs 11:2 “When pride comes, then comes disgrace, but with humility comes wisdom. ” Proverbs 16:5 “The LORD detests all the proud of heart. Be sure of this: They will not go unpunished. Proverbs 16:18 “Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before before a fall.
Genesis 1:26-27 - “Then God said, “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness. And let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over the livestock and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.
Jesus is coming back soon!! Repent and believe!! Jesus loves you and wants a relationship with you 🫶🏽
Plis read revelation 3:15-18 on google if you don’t have a Bible.
(Exodus 20:7) You shall not invoke the name of the LORD, your God, in vain. Please don’t use Gods name in vain, it’s dangerous
Has a nation ever changed its gods? (Yet they are not gods at all.) But my people have exchanged their glorious God for worthless idols. Jeremiah 2:11) having idols of any kind isn’t good 🙅♀️
Shall a man make gods unto himself, and they are no gods? Therefore, behold, I will this once cause them to know, I will cause them to know mine hand and my might; and they shall know that my name is The LORD. (Jeremiah 16:20)
HAVING IDOLS IS A SIN JEREMIAH
16:20 , JEREMIAH 2:11
Revelation 3:15-18 explains that we can’t be cold and hot at the same time which is being a lukewarm. In other words, if we are hot, which is really repenting and turning from sin) if we are cold we just completely don’t really follow God. If we mix those together it makes a lukewarm which they will be spat out Gods mouth and won’t inherit the kingdom of heaven.
For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son,that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.John 3:16. Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends. John 15:13
Romans 8:38-39 .. John 3:16 .. Revelation 3:15-18 Corinthians 6:9.. John 15:13 Psalms 23:4
Psalms 23:4 || Yea, though I walk through The Valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me;
rod and thy staff they comfort me.
Deuteronomy 31:8. The Lord himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged.
Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:6-7
JESUS IS COMING BACK SOON!! REPENT BEFORE ITS TOO LATE!!🫶🏽🫶🏽 ✝️❣️

I’m always soooo sceptical with all weight loss, exercise, what I eat in a week videos because 90% of them are extremely unrealistic, use pictures of their bodies that are clearly photoshopped and show a lifestyle that isn’t true. But with this video it felt really genuine and honest. I actually feel more motivated now! Tysm for being realistic yet positive ❤️
This is super encouraging! I'm 19, 5"8, and currently weigh 130kg. I was 137kg at the start of 2021 so the numbers are coming down!! Great tips :)
Proud of u girl 👏🏾❤️❤️ Keep going, u got this 🥰
I’ve around the same stats could you tell me how you reduced those 7 kgs?
I was 114kg three months ago and 105 now. What helped me is Intermittent fasting with calorie restriction to 1200-1400 calories per day. Goal weight is 70 kg
@@Ad-cv8uv Sure!!! I've lowered my sugar intake a lot - no more sugar in my tea/coffee, no more jam or Nutella on toast, no more fizzy drinks etc.. Drink 2L of water everyday. Take a minimum of 5,000 steps everyday but aim for 10,000 (try to walk everywhere and avoid public transport, driving, or taxis). I do a short yoga session in the evenings to help improve flexibility and strength. I've also started the NHS Couch 2 5K running plan which was super hard at first, but I've definitely felt fitter over the past month or so!
@@jess82384 Omg thank you! And I hope you reach your goal weight! ❤️
I identified myself so much, I’ve always been the tall and big girl (I’m 1,69cm) so I never bothered about my weight until recently, when my self esteem was at the bottom in the quarantine. I went to 80 kg!! So I decided to change healthily, changing my diet (smaller portions, doing exercises). I started in june with 80kg, now in February I’m 68,5kg, my waist and abdominal circumference are much much smaller. I also use videos on UA-cam as motivation, just like yours! Seeing other people loose weight healthily is the best
I'm 170cm and I went up to 77kg this year but I gained in my lower body, I got a looot of compliments that I look better. My normal bw ~ 66-67kgs and now I'm trying to lose body fat and tone my lower body. You can do it! I lost 2kg already it's been a month 💪🏾
Had started on July 11th, Weighed : 90 kilos/198.4 pounds.
Just crossed August 11th, Weighing : 85 kilos/ 187.4 pounds.
More than 5 kilos is not a sustainable weight loss guys. Slower the weight loss, sustainable it will be.
Few tips I followed:
1. Completely cut off on white sugar.
2. Increased water intake.
3. Dinner before 8 PM.
4. Do not skip meals.
5. Only go for healthy options. Remember - Healthy is tasty too.
6. Go for a walk for an hour or so if you do not have time for gym or any other sort of exercise.
My goal weight is : 55 kilos.
Let's see where it goes.
Thanks :)
A few years ago i walked for 30 minutes every day for 5 months and lost 16,7 Kg. No candy, Coca cola etc. or snacks(Popcorn etc.) :) P.S. No fast foods ofcourse.
In 2020 I lost about 12kg without diet i was eating very well and didn’t release I was losing weight I think it was cuz of fast food because what i was eating wasnt much but it was high calories when everything stopped in covid i lost the weight without trying i was so happy also the slower you lose is better cuz I lost tge wight in 8 months and still didn’t gain my goal is to lose 4-6 kg to be in the way I want and to feel better pray for me cuz I always struggle with losing so much
Some tips from my weight loss journey:
-Snack on nuts, seeds (like chia seeds), fruit and yogurt. Make berry smoothies! Berries are low sugar/carb, low calorie. Can be expensive though so I prefer making frozen berry smoothies. Sometimes I add steel cut oats or quinoa or brown/purple rice to my smoothies as well as other veg, it helps to bulk them up.
-Must drink 64oz water by 6pm, before dinner! so fills you up before dinner. And try to avoid eating/snacking after 9pm.
-Snack on canned tuna or sardines or salmon etc in water or extra virgin olive oil. It has all the good fats (omega 3s) too!
-Eat miracle noodles / konjac noodles / miracle tofu noodles or find another pasta alternative that’s low calorie like chickpea pasta (Banza) or quinoa and brown rice pasta (Ancient Harvest - my personal fav), kelp noodles (love), heart of palm noodles, tofu strip noodles! Note: These can be more expensive than regular pasta/rice though but you can find them cheaper if you buy in bulk!
-Eat tons of tofu. Not the fried kind. But there’s so many yummy ways to eat tofu!
-Canned beans are great.
-Fermented foods like kimchi, ojingeojeot (fermented squid/octopus), pao cai, natto are amazing for you! Pickled daikon too.
-If eating rice, always eat brown or purple rice (shell on) or sprouted rice. Quinoa is good too.
-Steamed or roasted sweet potato / yam / ube! I eat this without additional oil but it’s up to you.
-Make bone broth or homemade chicken stock, especially from chicken paws to make it extra gelatinous (more collagen). Drink often (almost as often as water). Drinking collagen peptides powder helps too but personally chicken stock just tastes better and is even better for you.
-Workout classes to keep you accountable (if you need external accountability like I do 👍🏻) or a personal trainer are worth it. Can be expensive, but you CAN find deals. Like my gym membership is literally $6/mo in a super high cost of living city in California, I can attend unlimited workout classes, and there are often deals on personal training sessions, like 2 hours of personal training for $40-$50, especially around the holidays. Shop around and/or call different gyms on Black Friday or New Years to see what discounts they have, or have a friend/fam refer you.
-Drink chia seed water or chia seed milk, it really really fills you up! Chia seeds can hold up to 27x their weight in water (make sure it’s soaked for maybe 20 min). But make sure to drink lots of water and don’t eat too much chia seeds bc they can also dehydrate you! But they bulk up as soluble fiber inside you and make you fuller, so a small amt is good especially if you need more fiber in your diet.
-Challenge: For dessert, only eat dark chocolate and acai bowls. This may be hard for the sweet tooths but I only like dark chocolate so it’s easier for me.
i love that you gave trigger warnings in the beggining
Trying to change my eating habits, I’m 80kg and only 5ft!!!
Trying to start is the hardest part, and by the looks of it, you have already accomplished this! You’ve got this!!
You can do this girl!
i am 40km and i am 4 feet and 13 inches
were the same im starting doing jump ropes and intermittent fasting starting today
Same here! I’m 5’2 and I gained 15kg in a year, I’m 80kg rn
We got this!!!
This is the best weight loss video I have ever watched. So helpful and the tips are really easy to follow. Thank you 💕
I love the way you are promoting a healthy approach to weight loss! A lot of good tips in this video. I struggled with dairy/milkshake cravings. For me, the banana almond milk mixed with the unsweetened cashew milk was a game changer. It's filling and creamy and satisfied my craving while still being very low in calories and sugar.
I'm watching this video at 3am and I'm so terrified that her reflection is gonna turn around and look like the girl from the ring
Thx. I had to shut it off after this. Lol.
@@genregurl it's ok I had to also
i watched so many losing weight videos but this was actually helpful and was full of unique ways , thank you !
I'm so happy for you that you've made this commitment and changes while you're still young!!! What a great gift to yourself and your future! God bless
I love how relatable your struggles are. Everything you said was sooo me. And seeing how good you look now just made me motivated! I can do it too!!!
I feel you and understand what your saving honestly I did something very similar to you! I started off at 79kg and my goal was 60kg and it took about a year and now 2ish years later I’m even at 56kg (I female and 170cm) I’m super happy I feel so much healthier. What really helped me was I increased my protein intake so I wasn’t as hungry and just making a meal
That was pretty to eat with my eyes. And with certain foods making sure you have a lot of nice textures!
Hey Ecem, thank you so much for the advice. I was hoping you could do a more in-depth video on how you managed to tone and slim down your body (what exercises you done, did you calories count, did you have takeaways every once in a while etc). You look amazing, you’re body goals for me xxx
Commenting to remind Ecem to please do this video!✨🔅
Thank you for this video. I have watched so many weight loss videos and really felt so defeated. I like that you’re realistic in your goals which really make me feel motivated!
You have got this!❤️💪 thank you soo much for watching 🥺❤️
this is probably the most honest weight lost video out there, also amazing advice i will def reccommend this video. also im in the motivation stage of the weight loss
I'm still on my weight loss journey and I like to watch video like this one to stay motivated by other's achievements and mainly because of their advices. Thank you for your video! it cleared my mind and gave me confidence as I'm on the right path, it was really useful!
Im glad you found it helpful!! Thats why I made the video and hearing this makes me so so happy!!!❤️😊 you have got this and keep me updated on your journey!!🥰
@@EcemGundogan thank you sm, you are so sweet! I'll be back stronger and with my goal weight achieved!
I wish I would have seen this video before I started my weight loss journey. Thank you for all of the tips. I've definitely found that calorie counting and doing some exercise is the best way to lose weight. I wish I knew this before. I was addicted to junk food but feel happy knowing that healthier options out there taste good. :)
I really love this video, explaining your journey and being honest about yourself was very refreshing to hear. extremely motivating, thanks so much!
Sharing part made me smile...and my tears😢...like you fixed even bigger things than just weight loss.. ❤
i’ve been doing keto + intermittent fasting since the start of 2021 and i’ve lost 10lbs this month!! low carb is saving my life, it has completely helped me get out the constant snack cycle and i don’t constantly think about food since my blood sugar isn’t all over the place.
i’m so excited and encouraged to keep going, you all can do it! so far i haven’t done much exercise other than my step goal everyday (7700 w/ my smart watch) and drinking water w/ lemon throughout the day.
weighing everything you eat is so important and helps you track the exact calories, i got a cute pink kitchen scale and i use it everyday! consistency is so key, just keep your mind on the goal even if you fall off the wagon 😊
Wow nice 👍
update 2/3 - i started a 24 day long pilates challenge w/ vids from lottie murphy! i'm on day 3 now and it feels good! i'm planning to add some other workouts in, maybe chloe ting since i hear good thing about her stuff!
@@veri_cottagefairy chloe ting's workouts are BEST
Yes! Love Chloe Ting, try her 14 day shred...it's hard but you feel stronger at the end
What is keto
Recently lost 40lbs last year!! Takes time and dedication!! Loving my body now ❤️🤸🏾♀️
I'm a new subscriber and I've enjoyed watching your "What I Eat in a Day/Week" but I had no idea that life used to be like that for you! This was so encouraging and I can see how those realistic and achievable goals really stuck. Thanks for sharing your story, this was really encouraging for me.
This is literally the first video that has really good tips and it is the most realistic ❤️
Sis I’m at 133 and just trying to get back to 122. I’m going to follow your tips. You’re amazing
I started my weight loss journey back in July 2020, it is not easy and as im also disabled and cant move around a lot its taking ages. I do have support and now doing weight loss shakes on my channel and one meal a day but still im only loosing on average 1llb a week, I have tried every diet going but its so hard, you have done amazing. loved your video lots of advice and tips, x
Thank so much for sharing these tips! I am just starting my weightloss journey after SO much weight gain (during covid) and it's definitely tough starting over.
Ive been trying to lose weight for quite some time now but has been stunted at my current weight for a while without making much progress despite my effort. Im only 10kgs away from my goal, and seeing your video really helped with motivating me! Especially since I recognised that we come from a similar background of always having been the overweight friend, even starting my weightloss journey at 79kgs... Thank you so much for posting this! It was sososo useful!!
This is genuinely very heartening because I'm 62 kgs and my arms are very very fat (I cannot wear sleeveless anymore). When I saw ur before pictures and saw ur arms and then I saw ur arms while u were speaking, I was so happy to know that losing arm fat was actually possible!
Sharing is caring and the small plate helps with portions if you only do one plate and don’t make a mountain of food, great advice.
I’m around 80kg like you used to be, your video is sort of inspiring to show I can actually do it
This really gives me motivation to really start my diet. I've been so unmotivated this lately 😭
in feb 2020 on my birthday i weigh 82 now im 71.8 so blessed and still going on strong my goal weight is 50 :( 💔
That is amazingg! Stay strong , You have got this!!!!
I thought you meant pounds for a second ahaha
I was 80kg in January 2020 and now I'm 86 kg February 2021 :/ (dealing with ED's for some time now and my weight goes up and downs so much since many years) just for telling you that slow weight loss is always the best in the end ! Losing 10kg in a year might seems too slow for you but I promise you that it is the best to prevent weight gain or disordered eating behaviors to develop !
Stay strong
@@EcemGundogan thank you love 🤍
@@Madi-wp6pl 😂😂😂
This was a really kind and gentle video that motivated me loads. It's so much more realistic to hear this kind of advice which makes it feel more sustainable, rather than the fear I have of all the intense diets out there that make us hate our lives! 🥵😂 Thank you Ecem.
Your voice is relaxing and i like that you dont rush your words. ive started my weightloss journey and i do agree with checking calorie consumption it does work.
You’re so motivating!! I am currently starting my diet/life style change, i hope i keep to it!
So charismatic, funny and straight to the point. Marvellous!
You said it all! I lost 30 kg but gained about 3kg back (Christmas and New Years food) trying to get all the motivation I can to lose it and I found it!! Thank you. Will update you guys soon❤️
You go girl! That is incredible❤️!! &hahaha same, but holiday food is SO worth it😆. Once your back on track it does go though so DONT WORRY! Looking forward to your update!!!❤️🥰
i think bouncing around 1-3kg after a huge weight loss and going back to a more normal diet is okay
I never related so much with a youtuber speaking about weightloss!!I will definitely use your tips, thank you!!
This video is straight to the point and you explained everything so nicely 😌😌
TYSM
Girl that is awesome! Giving me the inspo to keep pushing on my weight loss journey too!
You go girl! Love to hear that!

Yasss! Congratulations. This is very motivating. So glad you are sharing with others.
It sounds like you took a very sane approach which is admirable for a young girl. Congratulations on your success. 💎
started my weight loss journey after watching this last week (recommended by my aunt who’s lost 18kg so far) and I’ve never felt so motived because this video is so real and doesn’t try to exploit unhealthy habits 😘
hiii, omg such a helpful video. This video keeps me motivated. could you tell what all home workout did you do? it would really be helpfull
thank you for keeping it short and straight to the point❤️
As a guy who lost 35kg in a year while gymming (now worked out for 2 years and completely transformed) and eating less per day, no sugar, more healthy this video is spot on! Well done!!!
