TW: I WANT TO LOSE WEIGHT
Вставка
- Опубліковано 29 сер 2024
- TRIGGER WARNING: Weight loss is always going to be a complicated discussion, so I understand that me talking about my health in such an unfiltered way may be uncomfortable for others. If you feel content talking about weight loss, health, eating or calorie counting may be difficult for you, then this may not be the best video for you to watch.
Today we revisit the goals I set 100 days ago and talk about what worked and what, well, didn't. My health journey is about finding the best solution for me. Everyday I am getting more comfortable advocating for needs, while still recognizing its ok to want to change and develop parts of myself. I realize I do want to lose weight, and I am ok saying that. Its whats best for me, and has come out of a lot of self love and reflection on what I want most in life. You can want to lose weight, with out also wanting to fit into some sort of societal ideal. Sometimes weight loss is really just about getting back the opportunities and abilities that weight can take away from us.
Nothing wrong with intentional weight loss, especially if you're trying to participate in more things. Live your best life Anna! You deserve it. 💗
Why would there be anything wrong wit it? If she continues like this she’ll be in a 500 pound sized casket cuz that’s all this lifestyle leads to
Weight loss happens in the kitchen not the gym. I say that as someone who struggled with her weight her whole life. My highest weight was 302 lbs now I’m 140. Calorie restrictions works. Sorry to those that upsets but it does. I just walked 3 miles a day 5 day a week with light weight training.
Calorie restriction does not work. Calorie restriction leads to yo-yoing weight, heart disease, and irreparable digestive issues. Keep your bogus “advice” to yourself. 🤣
@@jacforswear18 Actually I don’t think anyone was talking about extreme calorie restriction but a reduction in calories from the calories you need to maintain your weight in a safe range is viable
@@jacforswear18 I don't think she meant what you mean. By calorie restriction she meant a slight calorie deficit, not starving yourself. Most sensible advice for losing weight. I don't know why so many people think a calorie restriction means something like eating fewer than 1200 cal a day, it's most certainly not.
I actually agree I use to be 325 lost 125 pounds fasting every other day . No matter how active I was I never lost weight . I also have pcos so weight loss is absolutely near impossible. Unfortunately fasting has been the only thing to work for me
@@jacforswear18 a slight caloric deficit does work. You can still enjoy all your favorite foods and eat in moderation while in a slight caloric deficit. Starving yourself with too little calories definitely is damaging, but not a sustainable slight deficit.
I can’t believe we live in a culture where you have to defend yourself for wanting to feel healthier 😵💫 The whole point of body positivity is to let everyone feel comfortable and happy in their own skin! That means YOU get to decide if you make any changes, and it has *nothing* to do with other peoples decisions or goals. FFS…
Thank you for this comment, it’s appreciated. People put so much unwanted and destructive pressure onto other people and criticise their decisions. (Sometimes/not always because they can’t seem to be bothered to try themselves or they tried and failed).
This! 🙏
@@sandradle756 I wholeheartedly agree! I feel my best and most confident when I’m a little thinner - and there is nothing more attractive than confidence in my opinion. People should just focus on themselves.
Girl! Yes 🙌 thanks for saying this all facts
YES!!!
My favorite thing about this is “I don’t care. This is about me” in response to how people will feel about your goals and your methods. This is something I have struggled with but your attitude gives me the push I need to just do it for me and not worry about what other people think.
What has worked for me is honouring my first hunger of the day with an adequate meal that prioritizes protein. It doesn’t really matter if that’s at 7:30 am or 11 am so long as i respond to my first hunger with protein-rich, nutritious human food. It sets me up for success throughout the rest of the day. I hope this helps.
I agree!! I could never do the intermittent fasting stuff. I'm so hungry in the morning so I would have a big, protein rich breakfast, aim for 500cal, and then for the first half of my day I'm energized and motivated for any workouts. Food is meant to fuel us and you should follow what works best for you. :)
Getting that protein kick in the arse is really helpful!
All your meals should prioritize protein.
same! sometimes I even set up a schedule to eat no later than 10 and make sure its super filling (usuallya bout 700 cal). I have energy for the day and easier to make food choices for lunch and dinner. I might have an early dinner if I want to do IF in the evening, but never skipping breakfast.
👏👏👏👏 breakfast is so important
I started by just tracking my calories for a week so I could see what I was eating. Some days I was seriously over eating and others I was seriously under eating. It was a calorie roller-coaster. Just stabilizing the amount I was eating daily made me feel so much better. I wish you all the good 💚💚💚!! I'm so excited for you! I absolutely LOVE your content 💕
Same. I know some people can’t stand calorie counting, but it helps me so much. It’s basically being mindful of what I’m eating. It’s very easy for me to completely lose track. When I think about what I’m doing, I do healthier things.
I too was on a daily calorie roller coaster and I was going crazy wondering why I could not eat a set calorie amount daily. I realised that daily calories do not really matter as far as I hit my weekly calorie allowance
I did this too, just for a few weeks to figure out what I was already eating. It helped give me a much better idea of how to gauge the amount of calories in food and how to stay at my recommended daily intake while still feeling satisfied. I was surprised, I actually came up short a few times without trying! I would hate counting calories every day, but I still think it was a good learning experience.
Oh man I feel you on the calorie roller coaster haha!
That's me! I have lost 20lbs but I need to learn how to eat properly. Still struggling with that but I'll get it.
I have struggled with my weight my entire life. At 46 years old, it's more important for me to cut calories than to exercise. The more I exercise, the hungrier I get. Living in SF, it's tempting to eat all the delicious food that is available. Good luck!
This comment is EXACTLY ME!! When I read it, I was like someone else has the same issue as me! My problem is night eating. I was walking 6 miles a day 7 days a week. I’ve cut down the last few days cause I am so hungry at night.
@@Deer548 Don’t give up on exercise though, y’all! Once I exercised enough, it really changed my metabolism for the better…in my 40s!
Omg I'm 28 and I'm going thru the same thing. I eat more when I workout
Well of course you are hungry when you work out! You burned calories and your body needs more, that’s the whole point of a hunger response! Eat the good food, you only live once and enjoying life is way more important and satisfying than looking a certain way.
@@Deer548
The hunger comes from having too much insulin in your blood all the time. Stop everything that triggers insulin in your blood and the hunger goes away. Believe me I know what "evening cravings" mean...
Find out what Dr. Jason Fung says about insulin in the blood.
I notice you’re now talking about doctors without the fear you expressed a short time ago. Love your honesty.
Intentionally losing 150 lbs was the best thing I ever did for my body and mind. It sounds like you have an awesome plan for yourself.
Something you said struck a chord with me. “I want to work on my body!” I like that mindset! Not, “I’m going to lose 50 lbs” or “I’m gong to fit into my skinny jeans!” Like legit work on my body as a whole! The inside; the outside, the mind, etc. Everyone’s journey will look different.
Horrible idea. The goal isnt specific or measurable. Vague goals will keep you exactly where you are at!
@ you're very negative for a 12 year old.
@ I think this really depends on the person. Some people need measurable goals and it's the only way they can keep accountable. It doesn't work that well for me, I get too obsessed with the numbers and can easily be demotivated. What works for me is to see how much more I can do (exercise I was struggling with a couple weeks ago, for example), how much better I feel, or how I fit in dresses that I couldn't a while back.
@@JudyCZ those are literally all measurable goals and totally different from what she said
@ Finally! Someone who speaks the truth. She has absolutely no intention of losing weight, she's making money as she is, so anyone who expects any significant weight loss from her any time within the next 18 months is dreaming...
I truly wish you the best journey! I lost 130 lbs with calorie restriction and intermittent fasting and that’s the best decision I’ve ever made. You’ll find what’s best for you and seeking the help of medical practitioners is a very good idea. You’ll get wherever you set your mind to!!!
What I ate in Hawaii…what I ate at Epcot…etc…yeah yeah yeah…exercise is not enough..you know that.
I promise you can do it! I went from 455 to 206 (6’ tall, size 8/10).
It really is 80% nutrition and 20% exercise, focus on fueling your body properly, eating 6 very small ( approximately 200 calories each) every day (every 2-3 hours or so), and drinking lots of water.
I know you can do this! If I did it, so can you!!!!!
Wow good for you,
Genuinely. Exercising every day for 100 days, and then doing the check in to reorient yourself.
I love hearing about your honest reflections as well, and taking so much responsibility for yourself, and looking at you eating habits as well.
I admire your boundaries with what you share, and what you don't. I think that is very wise and self nurturing to not share your food diaries, as yes there is so much collective shame and judgement around food, and i respect you for limiting the amount of toxicity in that area.
You're doing amazing, here's to your most capable self 🥂
Girl, I just love you! You are so inspiring and trust me you are helping several of us out here!
I love your energy and let me tell you,it rubs off on me through your videos!.. please keep that positive motivation coming.
Measuring and weighing food is a good way to see how much you are eating. Eat what you want, eat how you want but measure as you go, and you will see what you eat on the regular. If you want to reduce calories, you might want to start 2,500 and then go down. But again weigh and measure so you can SEE what you are consuming
ANNA! As a fitness instructor and a nutritionist I have to say you are doing amazing!! More amazing then you know! I will tell you, almost 100% of the people I train.. when they don’t see success in the scale, they give up and say it isn’t working. You taking baby steps is EVERYTHING! Keep doing what you are doing! Remember you are doing it for you and you can achieve anything you set your mind too! You are amazing!!
no she isn't. she is lying to herself. don't support her behavior when you know she's about to fail because she won't lose enough and will stop being motivated. if you have ANY experience, you'd know this.
@@KJB0001 who hurt you
@@KJB0001 you really shouldn't project YOUR issues on someone else. You should be ashamed of yourself for that.
@@Seestorofmordor97 youtubers who avoid losing weight to keep the sponsorship up
@@robynwilliams7850 Well it's not my issue, nor am I ashamed. She has been called out by numerous people who don't trust her motivations and feel that she is just in it for the $.... not truly living a healthier life.
I've never been plus sized so I'm possibly coming from a different perspective to many viewers. I think this video is really self-reflective & mature. I wish all the success on your journey
I am a plus size gal, and started my fitness journey for myself like a year back. I do strength training one day with light warm up, and then am doing cardio on the other day. I take two days a week to rest. I have fibromyalgia and this schedule seems to work for me. I am at 15 minutes of cardio now, and am slowly working it up. Listen to your body is SO important. I love your videos by the way, and thank you for having this channel!
I'd be interested in talking with you. I have fibromyagia too and in a flare up but wanting to get in shape safely.
That sounds like a very doable plan, may I ask have you seen changes yet?
@@lanapoulliot7682 I have! I can breathe better, less aches, I'm firming up and getting some muscle. My pants fit better :D
I would love to talk to you too. I have fibro and RA and early onset osteoarthritis
You got this Anna we all believe in you!!! I'm at a 105lb weightloss so far, you can do this especially with your fighting bright spirit.
Fabulous Amber! Keep on doing what you are doing!
Well done 🙂
Hold the phone. This is gonna break the internet. Your sharing your personal journey and goals is phenomenal and real. Somehow other people are gonna try to make this about them. I want to acknowledge your reflection and personal growth. I love this series of videos. As always, I'm 100% here for it and for you. Let us know when it's time to celebrate some NSVs with Glitter!! 😘🎉🎉🎉
I can so relate to you. You've got this. Everything will become easier when your mindset is where it needs to be. Sending you positive energy.
Hell ya! People really need to not be concerned with what someone else does with their own body in an effort to do what is right for them. ❤️
I’ve lost 25 pounds since February on WW. My goal is to lose 50 more pounds. I don’t know why people have to be so butthurt when someone else wants to be healthier!
Congrats Cassie... proud of you!
@@TrudyPatootie thank you so much!!
Congratulations & keep up the good work Cassie.
@@Budavin thank you so much!
@@sandradle756 thank you!! I’m definitely feeling way better than I was!
I went to my gp and when I got on scale I was 30 pounds down! Positive thoughts heading your way ♥️
Congratulations
@@veniestagourdine3881 Thanks
I love your proactive attitude! I love your personality and enjoy watching your content!!💕🌻💕
Don't keep that extra weight...the older you get the harder it is to move freely. Just keep moving.
11:50 Because weight loss is the majority about what you eat than exercise. That said, kudos to you for exercising consistently! It does help. Stick to whole foods (stay away from ultra processed foods and eating animals and animal products) and you WILL see that change you were expecting.
You have to do what’s right for you, it sounds like you have a plan and really thought about what’s important to your and what works for you.
I wish you all the success in starting to track your energy input and output and hope it helps you reach your goals of being healthier and being able to do more with your body.
Wow, the honesty, transparency, awareness, and accountability. We ALL NEED to see this because we all need to go about our goals and aspirations like this. You are definitely on track to evolving into your most capable self. Super proud of you 👏🏾🙌🏾👏🏾🙌🏾
It's truly a real thing that too much weight can literally stop your movement. Being able to move freely is a joy and a right. Unfortunately we often don't see this until a degree of mobility is compromised or lost. The great thing is that you can always turn it around. I don't care a jot for skinniness perse, but I really want everyone to be able to live a life of movement, which is correlated to strength and the ability to move/carry one's own weight. I'm so happy for you that you've made this choice. It's hard but the journey yields many small victories that are very sweet to the quality of your life! Best of luck!❤❤❤❤
I would suggest that you write down everything you put into your body for a week just so you can get a baseline of your calorie count. You might be surprised by the numbers. I wish you the most success. Love that you are making it your own race and not about anyone else.
you’re so well spoken! i’m also on my weight loss journey. you have an excellent plan, so i’m wishing you good luck!! 😊
Sending you some love as you go through a tough time. I'm also struggling with being bigger and less active than I'd like but man it's hard to up my activity level with depression and anxiety weighing me down. I'm going to take my kid for a walk. I'll at least be breathing fresh air
I deeply appreciate you saying "I dont care". This IS about YOU. We're just along for the ride because you allow us to be! Rooting for you girl!!
Re: calorie restriction - working with a dietician or nutritionist is a great idea, because if they are legit, they’ll have you at a SUPER moderate calorie deficit, and focus on habits and not dieting
You're on the right mindset Anna. If you really want this, ready to accept each hurdle this journey might throw in your way but still keep a positive approach to it you will definately sustainably achieve all your goals!! You got this!
I think you are doing fantastic! That is a long time for daily exercise!
I am a big fan of calorie counting, not forever but for awhile. Most of us really have no clue how much we are eating and what a portion size is. I lost 50 pounds last year tracking and had very little exercise.
I believe in you.
Yo girl! Heck yeah! Keep doing you! It's so nice when we can start to let go of all these other people's issues, especially in the plus size community! You're more than your body or size anyways, you're a great creator and cool person! I love when you were like "If you don't like it, bye!" That's the vibe! It took me awhile to get to that point, and I think we'll always struggle a bit, but it gets better, I swear! Thanks for sharing, and I hope you get through the rough patch! *virtual hugs* I always enjoy seeing your content, it's like hearing from a friend. :)
Yes! You can't please everyone and you need to go for what you want and what works for you! She is starting to let go of the limiting mindset that the Plus-Size community gave around peoples bodies and how other people should eat or look like to fit their goals.
You are seriously awesome. There is nothing wrong with intentional weight loss and anyone who has a problem with that seriously needs to reevaluate their life. As a big girl, I have felt so many limitations that being bigger puts on things that I want to do. It's constantly in the back of my mind. Plus, being the size I am really puts me at risk for ailments that I really would like to avoid. You're an inspiration to me and your strength in being vulnerable and honest has helped me reevaluate what I want out of life and the lifestyle changes I must make to achieve those goals.
I love following your journey and how you articulate things. You motivate many of us.
I'm Australian so metric system is used, I was a higher weight of over 190 kilos, got a gastric sleeve and loads of therapy, and better head space and boom now 88 kilos down and still kicking goals and one I never thought I'll get, which is skin removal surgery !! you sound in better head space as weight is now hindering your life style, and wanting to loose it for good 👍 sometimes surgery is the better option qnd xertianly not a cheats way as OMG it was the hardest thing I have ever done and keeping it off takes strength.
Surely losing weight to lead a better life and feel happier and have a better relationship with your body is body positivity right?
Respect! Working on my own changes for me at almost 70 years old. Best body comfortability for us all.
Anna try keto that is the only thing worked for me.Intermittent fasting is great ,you dont need to eat when you are not hungry.I watched alot of videos from Dr Berg, i know is not for everyone but iv lost 20 pounds in 3 months with that.And feeling amazing.Hardly even hungry.Good luck for you.
I love these videos. They are so motivational. I’m struggling with similar issues and have recently been in such a deep depression that it’s hard to even get out of bed and brush my teeth. Watching you is giving me inspiration. Thank you.
Stay encouraged!!!😇
You’re an extremely beautiful person. Whatever your goals are and for whatever reasons I support you and am fully convinced you will exceed even your own expectations.
Just a thought, but look up a TDEE calculator online and use to define what your "cutting" calorie intake per day should be. The argument of "2000 calories what a normal person should eat" is the same kind of falsehood as believing that 1200 is the "perfect" calorie deficit for someone. I understand wanting to be numbers driven, and you totally can be(!), but I would hate for you to feel as those you are not eating enough at your size, especially if your activity levels will be increased. And this is coming from someone who used to weigh over 450lbs, so I 100% feel for you with wanting to just be able to do the things you want to do with your body.
A month is a good goal! I’m really proud of you for doing this..To me, exercise is my medicine. I SO relate to your need for exercise. I can’t wait to see your progress! So excited for you. ❤️
I used to go to the gym and having sushi lunch right afterwards. It doesn’t work like that and I’ve learned it the hard way. Caloric deficit is a major part in the process of losing weight. Also weight loss is not linear, especially for women. I hope you’ll achieve your goal ♥️
Keep a food journal, measuring cups and a kitchen scale
I lost 50 lbs. in 3 months by intermittent fasting and portion control. My Dr. was very encouraging. All along the way what I eat must be nutrient dense foods.
I’m so proud of you!! You are seeking to understand your body, food, and the relationship between the two. You are inspiring me to make changes too! Thank you
People don't understand that counting calories doesn't mean starving and really thats the way to go, just don't go below your basal metabolic rate and you'll be good
On working out every day: typically you shouldn't work out literally every day - you should have 1 or 2 rest days a week. But also, it's important to vary the intensity of your workouts: you're not doing full out high intensity workouts 6 days a week, but one day high intensity and the next day steady state. If we're talking strength, you're not doing legs every day; you're doing legs day 1, chest day 2, arms day 3... Some people work out multiple times a day, but varying the activities that they do and the intensity at which they do them. Finally, it's just practice and stamina. If you do it more consistently, the consistency will get easier.
Rooting for you!! So glad you are taking the steps to be healthier and live a more fulfilling life like you want ❤️
Sounds like you've put a lot of careful consideration in! Definitely work with a dietitian, they can test your current metabolism and caloric needs. It could be that 2,000 calories is too low for you to start with, especially if you're exercising! Wishing you so much luck and sending so much positivity :)
How do they test your metabolism and dietary needs? I’m curious because this is something I’d like to have done, and I want to make sure this service is offered before I make an appointment with a dietician.
@@glumpot it's like a breath test, I don't know all the science behind it, but you could Google it to find out more. I think it's called the metabolic rate test. As far as your dietary needs and such, I think that would come from talking to you about your likes/dislikes, medical conditions, allergies or other food restrictions, your habits, etc. They can also have you do some blood work to find other imbalances. I would find someone to consult with, and definitely go with an RD since their education is actually standardized and significantly more comprehensive than a nutritionist
Active recovery days allow you to still feel good moving that day but not pushing your body to an extreme point allowing your body to recover. You nailed it with talking about going for walks if you feel like it. More importantly I wish you peace with everything going on in your personal life.
Throwing you some big hugs 🤗… we should all aspire to live in the body we are most comfortable - whatEVER that means + howEVER that looks.
I work out regularly and I don’t think I’d survive 100 days strait! So happy that you found a community that is supportive in OT. I love my gym too and finding movement I enjoy with a great community has made such a difference in my life!
YAY for you :-) Can't wait to hear about your progress every month!
I applaud 👏🏻 your rational approach to weight loss. It’s the best chance at success!
Go you!!
I'm all for calorie restrictions if you want to but 2k might be too low right now. I tracked my normal food for 7 days to see where I was, then subtract 500- that's 3500 total restriction per week which will equal-1lb every week. My advice would be eat as many calories as you can whilst still in a deficit. It avoids chronic hunger which can lead to a binge episode. Best of luck!!!
👏👌
I have been watching you for several years and am now on the weight loss journey myself. I have a goal of enjoying summer with my toddlers this year so I completely understand the activity piece. Best wishes from Kentucky!!!😎
Good for you!! You sound like you’ve put a lot of thought into this and you’re very in tune with your body❤️❤️❤️
Great points, Anna. As a PLUS, PLUS woman most of my life, I relate. One thing I have been recommit do by my endocrinologist...to do a 2 week food journal so I can really become aware of WHAT I'm actually eating. So, for myself I need to get in touch with NOT just the calories, but WHAT those calories entail. Have a beautiful and blessed day. LUCRETIA
Congratulations. That’s sounds like a good plan…. You can do this , I’m rooting for you!!!
I’m so here for it! I’m so happy for you. I have been up and down for 49 years and life is easier when I’m lighter. 🤷♀️
Hello sweetie. First off, I love everything about you. I am a 64 year old women that does not have a big weight problem but wanted you to know that you absolutely inspire me. You are one of the most realist person I have ever listened to. Keep it up. This message is to give you a little hint for your morning meal. Try and find a protein shake that you enjoy. I hated eating in the morning also but am able to drink a shake every morning. I really hope I can help you as you help me. Also, I say the serenity prayer to get me through a lot of things. Keep pushing honey. You are amazing.
Get 👏🏼 it 👏🏼 girl 👏🏼!! I did a 15 min workout today to kickstart my own routine and cutting out casually drinking alcohol. Over time, my goal is to increase my time working out and continue removing more and more processed foods (which isn’t that difficult as I love to cook)
You're literally one of the most inspiring people on any social media platform!
I find calorie counting very freeing. Like you, I enjoy data. I like being able to see, oh, I overate by 200kcal today, I can undereat by 100kcal the next two days and be fine. It's so flexible, you can eat whatever you want and you can adjust when you need to. It's not for everyone, but it works well for me.
Calorie restriction isn’t always a bad thing! It’s dangerous/unproductive when cutting too much.
2000 does seem too little for you though..cutting too much will just spiral you and most likely make you binge.
I love the message. I too have started a journey and there isn’t a magic number, I just want to be able to feel good about myself.
The only thing I didn’t like is that you kept saying people were going to hate you. You don’t need to apologize or get any one’s permission to change yourself. You do you!
I'm actually so glad about how candid you are about this. I have gotten to a point where walking up and down the stairs has me winded and I am not able to do the things I want to do. I don't think there is anything wrong with wanting to make a change for your own well being. I am also trying to be more active, and also mindful of what I eat. I am sure it is hard to feel like people are angry with you for a decision you are making to improve your quality of life. Sending lots of love and support your way!
I learn this yesterday on tik tok… when you feel like the world hates you -take a nap… when you feel like you hate the world - eat something… when you hate yourself take a shower… nothing to do with anything you said just thought it was worth sharing! ❤️❤️❤️
I will do it with you. I don't count calories, but I do intermittent fasting. I think for you since you don't like to eat in the morning, you should use that as part of your fasting window and increase it to an extra hour every week. I started with 10 hours and most of it is while I am sleeping. I am now at OMAD (one meal per day) and I feel great. That took me almost a year to achieve. I have lost 50 lbs since last May. Because of that, I was taking off one out of the two blood pressure medications I was taking and I no longer have cholesterol and anemic issues. Plus my immune system has highly improved. I do take ACV with mother pills, vitamins D3, Cod Liver oil, Magnesium, Calcium and Zinc. I also try to drink a shot of green tea whenever I remember. You are so right about rest between work out days. I still have about 100 pounds to go, but I no longer feel lethargic or have to take a nap during the day anymore. So I would love to join you and have someone to keep me accountable. I am still struggling with going to the gym, but I have been walking for the past 3 weeks and I walked almost every day this week. Let me know.
You are very right! And expressed yourself very well! I think a lot of us bigger woman all feel the same way! I love your attitude! Keep going babe, your doing great! You got this! Your not alone on this tuff journey! We're with you all the way! ❤️
Calorie counting/Math is your best bet
A pound is approximately 3500cals. If you want to lose 1lb/week that means ensuring you have a -500cal deficit/day bc 3500cals/7days=500cals/day
So if your fitness watch says you burned 2500cals today you should only have consumed 2000cals to stay on track to your 1lb/week goal.
My goal is 2lbs/week. On avg with the amt of activity I do (mostly walking my dog and being on my feet as a nurse) I burn about 3200cals/day. To lose 2lbs/week I need to have -1000cals/day so if I burn 3200cals I can eat 2200cals that day bc 3200cals burned -2200cal consumes equals 1000cal difference for one day.
Calorie deficeit is essential for weight loss. Portion control. You are on it and accepting truth. I love it
I resisted it for years, but bariatric surgery was the best decision I ever made. You may want to look into it and see if it's something that would work for you. Good Luck!
Anna I love you. I know how you feel I’m just starting my journey with trying to be a better me. I’m 47 and don’t wanna lose mobility. I started When I was 40 but set goals to high. You are an inspiration and a beautiful person
I finally recognized I needed a serious life long tool to help me achieve fitness. I chose to have gastric bypass after years of attempts with gains and losses. I’m so glad I chose to seek weight-loss surgery
losing the weight will drastically increase your abilities and stamina. 90% of weight loss is food and food only
80% nutrition, 20% exercise
"Grant me the strength to change the things I can't change and the ability to accept what I can't, and the difference between the two"
Hmmm….you have slightly twisted the first 2 phrases of the opening of the original ‘Serenity Prayer’:
God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference.
Living one day at a time;
enjoying one moment at a time;
accepting hardships as the pathway to peace;
taking, as He did, this sinful world
as it is, not as I would have it;
trusting that He will make all things right
if I surrender to His Will;
that I may be reasonably happy in this life
and supremely happy with Him
forever in the next.
Amen.
I’ve been working out and making healthier choices when it comes to food since around the beginning of February. I get stuck in ruts from time to time where I just lose all awareness of what I’m eating and not feeling like going to the gym, etc. But when you said you’ve been active for 100 days, that really hit me. It interested me and inspired me to break it down by days like that. There’s 365 days in a year, which means you were active, doing something good for your body, for your future, loving yourself for a 1/3 of a year. And with everything going on in the world right now and time flying by faster than usual, I think it is important to look at the bigger picture - not just how am I spending my time/ life throughout one week, but weeks turn into months and months turn into years, and we really need to look at what we are doing with our lives… so therefore, as I was watching your video, I made little checkboxes to motivate me to be active, drink 4+ bottles of water, and cut out fast food for the next 90 days, that’s 5 days a week leading up to me leaving for the beach on August 21st. Im super excited about this goal I just sat for myself and this new way of tracking and accountability. Thank you so much! Good luck this next month and remember do what works best for you, what makes you feel good, and what is attainable ❤️❤️❤️
I do love the idea of “my most capable self”
LOVE seeing your strength and how much you've grown and how confident you are! Thinking back to that first video about weight loss and how you were almost apologetic and so fearful, to this place now in 2022 where you state your position with your whole chest. You are amazing!
i've been keeping a food diary for ages and it's interesting to see how much i actually eat. it also makes me more conscious about the food i'm consuming so i tend to make better choices. I still eat things i shouldn't but i'm not doing it mindlessly
Unless you are eating wall insulation and dirt I doubt you are eating anything you “shouldn’t”. There are no bad foods.
@@jacforswear18 do u realise how judgmental u sound? Get over yourself
Hearing from you today has really helped me. I'm pretty much in the same place . I'm still learning to look at self improvement the same way you do.
What I’ve always loved about you: you’re creative, funny, and vulnerable. I’m happy to see you doing what YOU want with YOUR body. You’re an inspo, mama. 🖤
I made myself join the YMCA so I can do water walking and Aquacise. In doing this I am making myself make new friends and energy level is improving. So do what works for you best. I get it.
"Looking at numbers can be controlling"
Well, yeah. Isn't that the point? To give someone the tools to control what they are doing?
I faced the same question, how am I going to allow myself to eat when I feel genuine hunger while sticking to sensible (and practical) mealtimes? What has been working really well for me is a smart snacking rule. So I have my three meals at which I am allowed to eat anything, and if I get hungry between meals I can snack on only fruit and low-cal vegetables. One thing I can never again do, is binging on my favorite snack foods. As soon as I implemented this new boundary for myself I was no longer triggered to eat all the time.
This is how success starts! I went on an overall wellness journey...exercise, therapy, walks in nature...mind, body, and soul. 9 pounds away from 100 lost. Exercise is so therapeutic. You will do great....you will gain so much confidence on your journey. You go girl!
I find you to be such an inspiring person. I am so impressed by how open and honest and vulnerable you can be, not just about your progress and challenges, but also about the things you want for yourself. It is a hard tightrope to walk staying body positive and also seeking to change your body, and I am continously impressed by how you balance these priorities while staying really authentic. It is a privilege to watch you on your journey, and thank you so much for sharing it with us all!
Anna i love you sweetheart. In am 63 years old and it took me 2 years to lose 100lbs, but I did just what you are doing now. 2000 calories you are doing good. I am proud of you and in am saying prayers for you and your grandpa. You are a wonderful person!
I am glad to hear I am not the only one who hates encouragement from strangers. Leave me alone.
Most capable self is the BEST WAY I have ever heard it stated. Love this and it isn't about looking like others that women compare themselves to, it is about being the best mental and physical You, you can be. I also struggle and have since about the age of 5. Love your channel.
