This video discusses why losing 5 pounds of fat is a big deal! Be patient with your weight loss journey - it takes longer than you think it should. Every pound lost makes a big difference. Visit my site for more helpful info.
I've lost 103 pounds on my journey from 257 to 154 and it was the best decision I have ever gone for 😀
How long did it take to lose the fat and what diet did u do
So proud of you for achieving this!
@@shyguy8077 I started my weight loss journey a year today and I'm in great shape also I slowly reduced my calories and kept high protein in order to loose this weight
@@tahamazhar1028 thanks man means a lot ❤️
@@visioneu6744 no worries! Keep going. You have no idea how motivating your comment from 5 months ago is. Love from Pakistan.
I thought I felt OK when I was 40lbs over weight,I lost it over a year then gained 40lbs of lean muscle long story short life has so much more beauty to offer when you have the energy to experience it.
Yes. You are totally right. Our body is the vehicle we get to experience life - the better it feels the better life gets (at least that's what I've found!)
Yes - living life at any extreme can be harmful. My whole mantra is to "love yourself healthy"...keep nourishing yourself with good food and good thoughts.
Jennifer Powter you are awesome. Thanks for your advice about weight lost. I lost 13 pounds.
So great Katie!!!
Absolutely! I'm on a journey and im vlogging every day! Its a struggle but I'm in it for the long haul to feel and look better!
When you're dieting your body replaces fat with water temporarily. This is why neither will it appear you've lost weight in the mirror not on the scale for the first few weeks. Just be consistent wait for 6-8 weeks.
This is informative. Thank you
Dude aren’t u in the wrong era Blitzkrieg?
Wow that’s informative
Thats right! I noticed this myself and i almost gave up, i was losing weight on scale but mirror wise, i looked the same! then 4 weeks later things started to look and feel better
This is consistent with my experience!
OMG !... seeing the fat like that is actually shocking ... I have lost 22 lbs in the last 5 months so i am really proud of myself !
Thats almost 100 sticks of butter
Congratulations
I just want to hug her. The way she explains this makes so much sense
I lost 6.4 pounds this month and felt kind of bad that I didn’t lose more. Your video helped me feel so much better. Thank you!
every little helps - tesco
I was so disappointed recently to find out after a lot of hard work that I had lost 5 pounds! But wow!
It's truly awesome to have lost 5 lbs!!! Now, you just need to keep going!! Consistency is your best friend when it comes to permanent weight loss. It's slower than you want it to be...I know...but focus on one day at a time and making the best choices for you to reach your goal and you'll get there!!
placid renegade in reality you lost more because that 5 pounds that you lost is a lot because the rest went into muscle so I would say at least 20 pounds of fat you got rid of
Oh are you trying to gain then instead off loose?
I'm 15 and have lost 70 lb so far in my weight loss Journey but I still have a bit to go and I'm not gonna give up! 😊
I just lost like 4 pounds I feel proud it looks like a lot 😁
AWESOME!!! It is a lot :)
This is what I needed to hear today!!!! 8 weeks in to a diet I’ve lost 10lbs I thought it wasn’t a great deal in 2 months.
Thank you! I started at 138.9 and lost 2 pounds and am now 136.4 in 1 month and am so proud of myself. I definitely see the change Thanks for making this video. When I searched this was exactly what I needed lol
I'm 42, and weighed 237 lbs, the heaviest I have ever been. I cut my calorie intake down to about 1800-2000 per day, and I started working out 6 days per week for an hour (high intensity cardio, 80% of max heart rate). I've lost about 15 lbs in 3 weeks. My goal was to lose 30 lbs in 90 days, and I think I'm going to make it pretty easily.
Hey there - sounds like you're making some big changes in your lifestyle (eating and working out) - just remember that the biggest drops on the scale happen in the first few weeks. Don't get discouraged if you see the amount of weight lost per week slow down...fat loss takes time...just keep going!
xsquid99 I love your confidence☺keep it up!
congratulations!
xsquid99 wait an average lady to maintain her weight eats 2000 calories so to loose weight eat 1500 calories
Just aim to lose a little everyday and say to yourself 'I am thinner today than yesterday.'. It soon rewards you for it I promise.
Great channel. I have lost 9lbs in 10 days. I loved seeing what the fat actually looks like, rather than just seeing numbers on the scales! Thank you.
That's amazing!! Nice work :)
I restricted my calories to 1200 per day and was very careful with what I ate. As a general rule I do not eat foods that contain more than 4-5g of fat per 100g. I also exercised most days at the gym.
most likely you lost a mix of water weight, muscle, and some fat. Losing that much that quickly does not equate to actual fat oxidation completely.
It's possible to see a drop of 9lbs on a scale - it's not pure fat loss. I have no idea at what weight that person started at, their body composition, their height or their gender -- all of which will influence the amount of weight they're able to lose in a healthy way. What I do know is that anybody trying to make changes to their lifestyle by eating well and exercising deserves support, acknowledgment of their efforts and encouragement.
Thats unhealthy
lol, she's so cute. love the end.
The visuals are so impactful! I’ve been eating more healthy and incorporating exercise everyday, and I’ve lost 15lbs in the last three weeks. Seeing what 15lbs LOOKS like is such a motivator!
I lost 10 in 3 weeks. I've been working my butt off!! I honestly feel amazing and can't wait to lose more!
+Gloria Fox Gloria!!!! That's super great - not sure how I missed this. Update us - how's it going?
Gloria Fox how??????
I also lost 10 pounds in 3 weeks , what i do is i burn 1200 calories on treadmill, after that i lift weights and i cut my calories intake to 1500 every day. 3,500 calories =1 pound of fat, so doing this i lost 10 pounds in 3 weeks.
Water weight, sodium, glycogen and some fat
Im only 20-30 pounds away from my goal! ^_^
Thanks for the video! I just lost 29 pounds. I have gone from 256 to 229.
Camille Orozco In 3 month I lost 72 pounds. Wow I forgot about this video.
When you lost 5 pounds was there a big difference in the mirror?
@@modashow8056 OMG I forgot about this comment.... but a quick update. I dropped to 170 on keto.
And to answer your question, I only see the difference in pictures & clothes, not in the mirror. It’s hard for see it in the mirror or it was hard.
If you can see my profile picture that’s me at 190
@Camille Orozco sorry for the late response but I lost a total of 76 lbs in 3 months, eventually I had stopped and went back up to 200, got back on keto and dropped to 170 pre Covid, Covid pushed me back to 200. Back funny thing is I started back up my keto today
I started my journey 3 months ago and ive almost lost 20 pounds every now and then i come back to this video to take in my success anybody else that is on there journey just remember patience is key and that hard work always pays off and i hope you all the best on your journey to health and fitness God bless 🙂🙂🙂
I'm so grateful this visual reminder motivates you!!!
You are so welcome!!! Hope it's helpful :)
its helpful video and aslo your still very good looking
Jennifer Powter thank you so much! I've been motivated for the past month but after watching this I feel super excited to continue the fight!!
lost 40 kgs in 3 months last time i saw this video
thanks so much
quick questions im only 11 and i weigh 50 lbs am im underweight tbh?
I was 204 pounds last summer and I got to 190 and then 180. 6 days ago I was 177. Now I’m 172.8 and I still felt fat. But this video really helped.
Congrats on your journey!
This is so helpful..to actually see what 5lbs looks like in fat. It is easy to feel you're not actually achieving anything when a pound seems so little. I was feeling fed up that I'd only lost 7lbs since Xmas but having seen this, I see the difference!
Thank you for watching! I'm glad this was helpful 💖
Thanks for sharing Jennifer - I lost 4lbs recently and I was thinking to myself that it wasn't that much, but I really should celebrate any loss or success, no matter how little or small you may seem to think it is xx
This made me feel so much better about losing 1-2 lbs a week
A lot of people lose weight really quickly after changing how they eat most of this is water weight but a good portion is still fat. One pound of fat is so much so you should feel great about it still.
I lost 5lbs this month by making better choices, I was pretty proud but wondering if I could of lost more... thank you for this!!!!!
YOu are doing AMAZING!!! 5lbs is a huge loss and you need to remember that when you lose it slowly and you create a lifestyle around food (instead of dieting) you're way more likely to keep the weight off!!! Great job!!
Jennifer Powter thank you so much!!!!♥️ ive actually lost about 13lbs now :) exactly what u said, not dieting just watching my foods!!😄
I just started my weight loss journey and I have lost a little over 4 pounds in 6 days! I want to stay committed and I want to lose 55.5lbs in total.
i started at 278 im 6 feet, i drink water with lime all day plus one small meal a day 1hr workout for 3 weeks now im 261...goal 210
I've already lost about 50 pounds, but I really needed this right now.
Same man I went down from 215 to 147 now im 160 because of water adjustments I know this because at 147 I had 2 abs and now 3 weeks later I have 4 abs . And I know there is no way I gained 13 lb of muscle
I just started supplementing creatine and it says water retention is a side effect. But its still a major bummer seeing 160 not 147
People should also remember that what you lose when you lose weight super quickly is often more water than fat. A clear example is the Ducan diet. Water is important for your body, and you'll gain it all back when you go back to a more equilibrate way of eating. Getting rid of fat takes time and effort, but you'll notice visible changes in your shape and looks, way more important than the numbers on a scale.
Oh my goodness, it’s taken 28 days to lose 9 pounds! Thank you for this video! It helped to motivate me to keep going 20 more pounds to go.😘
AWESOME!!! The biggest thing weight loss requires is consistency and persistence!! Keep going. If you have a crappy moment (or day) then let it go and focus on what you can do next.
Thank you for very interesting video. I have just lost 6lbs and I feel great!!
You are the very first person online that gave a good encouragement! I weigh 298 and I just got tired of everything. I did a strict diet and lo and behold I lost 15 lbs in 5 days. My back aches disappeared. I want to lose 110 lbs more. Fat is a disease
Thank you!!!! You can do this!! Takes time and persistence but you truly can do this.
I've lost 10 lbs. in a week but that's because I'm a bigger girl. Completely stopped drinking soda, cut down on carbs, and I'm eating more proteins. I feel so much better internally and I'm not feeling as sluggish as I was. This is an awesome visual and helps keep me motivated.
Nice to actually see what volume fat really has, help put things in perspective :) Thanks.
I weighed 257, started boxing and lifting 5-7 days a weeks calorie intake 1000-1200 per day three moths later I am at 198 with 93 pounds of muscle mass. If you are looking for motivation to start, you can do it! I took an pretty extreme path but I am like that, when I want to achieve something I get obsessed with it and do everything for my goals. The most important thing is just do something stop searching for shortcuts or secrets, just start doing it and you will learn along the way how to get better at it. Don’t forget to do body tests, the scale can be deceiving because you can loose muscle mass pretty fast and that is not the way to lose weight.
I didnt celebrate my 32 pound weight loss because my goal was to have a 6 pack and I still dont have one. This puts things into perspective thank you.
I lost 11 pounds this month!!!!! Woohoo!!!!!! Thanks for the video, it makes me feel even BETTER seeing how much fat I have kicked off my body!
That's awesome @Mattrix!! Congratulations ~ let me know how I can help!
I was eating a LOT of ice cream and basically whatever tf I wanted. I just stopped. Started doing fasted cardio, fasting, and proportion control. And I’m rapidly losing weight.
I’ve lost 5lbs already and I was so discouraged bc I didn’t see any difference but this video made me feel so much better. Thank you so much!
Weight and fat are different
@@kyasonkaylor6807 plus the fat exists literally all over you. Your face, your neck, your calves, all sorts of places that dont really show it. Your body could just be burning from those sources before all it has left to attack are the main spots you're after like your stomach.
This video is so encouraging toward a healthy lifestyle, thank you so much! I'm so glad to have run into this channel! 'Body acceptance' movement can kick it to the curb!! Let's all stride in being the healthiest versions of ourselves! Go away, unnecessary-amount-of-body-fat! ;)
YES!!! Thank you - I totally agree :) No one has to be "stuck" in a body they don't love.
I came back to your video because I felt stuck! Thanks so much for reminding us that patience is key and every lost pound makes a big difference!
You got this!
Love the motivation! Thanks!!
6'1 male I'm down to 186 from 200. Came here to get some kind of idea on how much further I need to go (my goal is to cut fat right now and then put on clean muscle for a target of 190lbs) wow! 5lbs of fat is alot! I don't think I have that much further to go 🤔
I've lost almost 10 pounds in the last 2 weeks or so. I've got a long way to go, my goal is to lose about 45 more pounds. This really motivates me to keep going
You got this!
What did you do to lose all these pounds
I was feeling bad that I only lost 6.5lbs in 3 weeks...til I saw this. I see the difference off my tummy and my chin, this is a boost to keep going. ❤❤
I lost 7 pounds this week. With diet and exercise
How many callories and carbs intake per day you been lose fat so fast!
i lost 9lbs in 7 days doing great
I’m really proud of my self I lost 14 pounds
I didn’t know what I was expecting clicking this video but I wasn’t expecting to leave so motivated! Thank you so much!
Cool nice visual... Looks about right when I see what is left. I have about ten lbs left to go to be at an ideal body weight. I'm hoping for March to be there. I started last March. Down 84lbs.
Music a bit loud but her positive attitude is how every doctor should approach a patient who needs to lose weight
I agree about the music...I was just learning how to film videos and it's distracting. Glad you got the positive vibes I was putting out.
Today I just found out I lost 5lbs in almost a month! I’m sure its not all fat but I’m at least hoping its at least 3lbs of fat lol. I still have a long way to go, but its nice to see this type of video to put each pound into perspective!
It's good to see what 5lbs looks like, seeing that I've lost 10 times that amount in 6 months. She is right...it takes patience and determination, and for me this is the 1st time I've managed to succeed in losing weight in my life. Not finished yet though, and I've never been so determined in my life.
Amanda - Happy New Year!! I hope you are rocking your weight loss journey!!!
@@JenniferPowter Thank you ( still going).....and same to you.
I love this. I'm 29 and used to have a flat stomach with abs. Now I weigh 229lbs....I've been single like this for like a 1 and a 1/2 year. My birthday is coming up and I'm intermittent fasting....hoping I can loose 2lbs a week and keep this up for 3 months to be closer to 205.... wish me luck!
Wow I just lost 6 pounds because I couldn’t eat with COVID. That’s amazing how much 5 pounds really is thanks for the visual
If you don't eat or don't eat enough protein you tend to lose muscle mass as well not just fat
@@ahmeda3227 yeah I realized this literally minutes after posting it lol
Thanks for this video I'm down 12 pounds this month and this makes me want to keep going. I didn't lose last week but this week lost 4 pounds.
I lost about 20 pounds (aka 10 kg) and seeing this makes me so aware of how much it actually is. It's crazy! I hope my sprained ankle will be all good to go soon so I can go on walks again. Already changed my diet, it's not the best but so much better then before. 60 pounds to go! :D
This is so inspiring, it motivates me to keep going. I have lost 11 lbs since November 2019. Not as much as I wanted to lose, I let myself cheat somedays but I am proud of myself. I didn’t think losing even losing 5 lbs was ever going to happen. Don’t give up!!!
Thank thank you so much for this video just seeing that amount of fat and knowing If i lost 5 pounds that how much that is...I am not going to take that lightly anymore that's mind-blowing the amount of fat you have sitting on that counter
Hiya! You are so welcome...I find that it's so easy to get impatient with weight loss and not recognize all of the wins. You can do this...all it takes is being consistent and believing that you can!!!
I lost 10lbs in 1 month. And honestly I see a change. I hope I keep losing weight.
Today is my 10th day since I started and I have lost 11 pounds.
Most of that was water
Well it has been 14 days today since i started exercising and i lost exectly 2 pound and was very disappointed by myself but hearing her makes me feel proud of my self like i feel motivated 🤗 thank you soo much ❤️
Honestly that’s not bad since it considered healthy to lose a pound of fat a week.
This was a great way to put into perspective what losing a pound of fat really looks like.
So glad!!!
Such a beautiful video. Thank you :) I won't quit.
Damn she’s fun, I hope they’re still making videos.
Heya! I took a bit of a video-making hiatus but I'll be back in 2021 :)
I’d love to lose those 5 -10 pounds in the next couple of months! That would be awesome! Just need to get back on track again 🙈 this year has been physically quite unhealthy ...
Hey Nicole - I'd love to send you a copy of my book! Find me on FB and send me a direct message with your address!
@@JenniferPowter hi Jennifer! Sorry I just saw your message! Thank you for your offer :)
This video was amazing!! Thank you so much :) I've lost 11 pounds in the first 4 weeks. I use to think it was slow progress, but you're absolutely right, thank you for reminding me this is the healthy way!
Yes, and I should be focused on the journey. Not about having a challenging goal.
I'm just here to keep myself motivated. I'm 5'0 currently at 130 lbs on my way to 100 lbs.
Great video. I’m about 70 pounds over weight and now borderline pre diabetic. I’ve been trying to loose weight for so long just hasn’t been able to.
I’ve lost 15 pounds and even that feels good man, I can even wear jeans I haven’t worn in years holy wow
BEST feeling ever -- Slipping on a pair of jeans when they come out of the dryer and the FIT!!! Nice work!
This video was what I needed to kickstart a diet! Thank you so much
That's awesome Mitch!
Maintaining a diet of 1500 calories a day and running an hour in the morning n a hour in the afternoon can get you to lose a pound a day. I do this on monday, Wednesday,Fridays n sat n Sundays. Plus i fast until 3pm. In order to keep losing weight like this you must refeed every 4 days. Refeeding is giving ur body more carbs and calories than usual so what i do is eat q bunch of wings n pizza on my reffed days. I never gain any weight from my refeed days cuz the fasting helps fully metabolize the food.
Don't ever give weight loss advice again. You are just starving your body and making your metabolism slow. This isn't healthy and will cause kidney, liver and heart damage by binge eating.
+DonTHEhandsome1 It's called intermittent fasting, and It's a healthy tool to properly loose weight. This method has been performed by Hugh Jackman, the Hodgetwins and many other people. Eating 1500 calories .will definitely make you loose weight. If you don't know anything about weight loss please don't bother telling me about not giving weightloss advice. Our ancestors did intermittent fasting all the time, look it up.
+Josie G This approach simply doesn't work for a lot of people. Many busy, working moms don't have an hour a day to exercise ~ and when you are looking after a family this kind of schedule is often too complicated. Glad it works for you though.
Josie, just eat less. That easy. Go online, find a calorie calculator, and be honest on it (running errands does not count as highly active, in fact, shuffling kids along to drive them to and from is closer to sedentary in all honesty as far as caloric exertion goes) and it will tell you what your maintenance caloric intake is. That's your calories to stay the same weight. Drop this by 500 a day and you lose a pound a week. Drop it by 1000 calories, and that's 2 pounds a week. Don't go lower than that or you risk hitting some dangers. It's that easy. People love excuses, love em, but the truth is really simple.
And DonTHEhandsome, you're out of your fucking head. 1500 calories is not starvation, and will not slow your metabolism down by any real amount. People act like your metabolism fluctuates wildly based on how much you eat, and that's a myth. It comes from the old Minnesota Starvation study that has been discredited (it takes months of people WITHOUT fat stores taking in less than 50% their caloric intake for starvation mode to set in). It's all 'fatlogic' that people try to spread to give themselves a reason not to eat less.
She's so right, thanks for the motivation.
I've lost 143 lbs on my journey so far 🙌
Now the stomach is transforming, I'm so motivated! My boobs aren't going ANYWHERE sad to say 🤣
I lost 10 pounds in a week. That was my first week I started dieting and working out every day.
Im down 6lbs two more days will be 1 month
But how do you know it’s not a water weight?
Great explanation ! Awesome informative video , good narrative, and lots of butter fat in there ;) Thanks for the info !
Heyyy! Thanks Raul :)
Ayy I lost 20lbs in the last 2 months. I renewed my license with my goal weight on it 👀 now I'm obligated to reach that weight.
Started at 244 and I'm on my way to 170
I lost 15lbs so far into my diet. Its only been 8 days. I know the first week is always drastic due to water weight because of your body using up the glycogen in your body. So I have remained the same weight the last 2 days. So now I think my body will begin to turn toward fat and I should start losing ACTUAL full lbs of fat weekly.
i lost 15-20 pounds within the last year and now i’m realizing how much that actually is
Great video Thank you Jennifer. I have been there. Straight indoor training last 4 years. Body weight from 240 lb 182 now. waist size from 40 to 32".Age 52 and i can easily ran straight 11 miles and average 14 minutes every mile. As you said it takes time and patience and discipline and you'll get there.
Dude i saw I lost only 7 pounds and i was sad face asf, but now I wanna keep going
I really needed to hear this thank you!
Heya ~ hope it gave you a boost and some motivation to keep going :)
A gallon of fat is 6.7 lbs. I like to imagine my weight loss as 1 gallon water jugs. So far I am up to 5 gallons, half way to my goal.
Every pound you lose, you lose 4 whole sticks of butter off of your body.
I lost 10 lbs in a week. All i did was play basketball every day and hit the gym at night. ( Weights and cardio)
As well as changing my food habits.
Thank you and you made me feel better lost 45 got 100 to go God bless ChristS love
I've been averaging 12 pounds of fat loss per month. Yes, this is based on a caliper, I have been estimating about 0.5-1 lb of lean body mass increase per week. 5 pounds a month of fat loss is about right if you never incorporate fasting, but if you do intermittent fasting, fat loss will happen at a much greater rate.
I just started it I think I'm in my 3rd week. I have only averaged a half pound extra than usual in 2 weeks :/ I thought I would see a little more.
Really god to hear. I just got rid of 8 lbs - 16 more to go. But didn't think 8 lbs was that much. But now I see... Thanks 🙏 BTW have you ever thought of getting rid of the "t" in you last name to match your good speech 😄
Hey Ben ~ you're doing GREAT! Eight pounds of fat off your body is a huge WIN. Just keep going :)
this video was really encouraging. thanx
You're welcome!! Keep it up! Keep going! Consistency is everything :)
Thank you for this. I’m so depressed I’m 80lb over weight I feel disgusting I hate my body 😢😢😢😢
Wow, you've got my subscription. You illustrated well what different amounts of fat look like, allowing me to kind of estimate how much I've got to lose to lower my body fat percentage. Is this accurate?
+Anonymous Owl Hi - I'd love to answer your question but not completely sure what you're asking :) When we lose fat off of our bodies we lose it from all over...we can't just "spot reduce" unfortunately. So when you're paying attention to what you're eating and moving your body and you lose 5 lbs it won't just come off your lower body...does that make sense?
I lost 5 lbs on a 3 day (sparkling) water fast. The stubborn midsection fat melting away and I think the fast healed some other issues too.
Omg thank you! I watch these videos to loose weight
So this is why I feel tones of different just by losing 5 pound.
yes - it really makes a difference!
@@JenniferPowter I also felt tones of difference by gaining 5 pound again
I definitely needed to see and hear this because I lost 8 pounds in a month and it definitely doesn’t physically look like I’ve done anything. (At least not in my eyes) . I have such a big goal to achieve because I feel like I shouldn’t weigh this much at the height and age that I am today . I just want to be,feel, and look good!
thank you so much for the motivation! it means a lot to me😊
You are SO welcome :)
I lost 24 lbs. in one month, only 20 more to go till my goal...
