I'm using the hbmp and it's difficult for me to follow because I HATE fish, and some of the meals use fish. I'm not real big on ground turkey either. And I dont mind eating bison but it's very expensive and hard to find in my local grocery store. So I feel like all I can really eat is chicken breast. Please tell me theres a way I can incorporate beef into the meal plans. I just feel so limited 😞
I just wanted to say that ever since following your meal plans and using your app, there's been a real mindset-shift in my life. My SW was 233 lbs and the last time I weighed myself I was 185 lbs. I feel so much more peace and confidence in making healthy choices and I see food so much differently. Not to mention, the workouts in the app really challenge me and I feel so much stronger! Thank you for sharing your story, you have had such an impact on mine. God bless!
Hi Katie! During the pandemic I worked out consistently and ate really well, but now that I am back at the office and have to leave my house at 6:30am for work (sometimes not getting home until after 8pm) it has been really difficult to maintain my workout schedule. Any advice for busy women/men to maintain a healthy lifestyle and workout schedule? Thanks!
Why did it take me a year to watch this!!! Katie you’ve been a huge inspiration to me and learning this dark past is only that much more relatable and inspiring. I never got to the point of purging but I would punish my body for being hungry and it’s hard. You’re AMAZING and I love you!! ❤
Oh gosh I love this. I got so teary eyed thinking about where I was a year ago. God, nutrition and LSF have seriously changed my life! I cannot thank you enough
“I don’t know how I expect someone else to feel that way about me if I don’t even feel that way about me!” That right there gives me more motivation! Thank you! You’re helping!
Love your authenticity. So happy you’ve shared your darkest moments with Ryan and have that emotional weight lifted off of you. I’ve thought about counting macros recently, but you’ve just reminded me I have everything I need in my hand. Happy 10th Anniversary!!!
I’m currently at my rock-bottom and I really needed this video. I just wanted to say thank you for sharing your journey and keep being a cool bad ass! 💛
This video really spoke to me and makes so much sense! I have struggled with my weight forever and since having my baby last year am in such turmoil over how I feel about my body. It was incredible at making and protecting this little miracle and yet I just want to cover it up as I’m so embarrassed by how it looks 😔
Oh my Gosh - I can’t believe how I relate to your story . I am currently going through the same thing you’re we’re going through 10 years ago - I tried everything. I’m so glad and thankful that I clicked on your video - I started crying because of how I relate to your experience! Thank you so much for inspiring me - I need to get my life together and be healthy and save my marriage. 🙏
Everything you've said here is what I am currently working on. It's such a slow process though. Undoing years of bad habits and unlearned everything I thought was right takes a lot of time. Good for you on 10 years of keeping on track. Once you build those healthy habits, it gets easier every day and becomes a no-brainer eventually.
Your videos have been motivating and inspiring. Nice to see someone who went thru the same struggle and there can be a positive outlook if you relax dont overthink the process Many thanks❤❤
Stumbled across your channel while searching for thyroid-centric workouts (recent thyroid ablation/now hypo instead of hyper and having to shift my entire perspective) and my initial thought was "yeah right, this stunning skinny woman can't possibly be relatable enough to resonate with me" but something told me to dig a little deeper and now I'm literally tearing up watching this video. Glad I clicked, thank you for sharing your story 🙏
I really love this conversation ❤️ you are such a strong person and I so greatly appreciate you sharing your story and your vulnerability 🥰 it is nice to have a safe space with other like minded women ❤️❤️❤️ thank you Katie
Thank you for this. I just got diagnosed with hypothyroidism, and am worried about losing weight in a way that I can maintain it. Your channel gives me hope that I can manage my hypothyroidism and live the healthy, fit lifestyle I’ve always wanted ❤
Just catching up on your videos now and WOW. I needed to hear this. Doing it because it is what feels good for your body is what I needed to hear. I have lost several friends who alienated me for wanting to be the healthiest version of myself. My husband now is my biggest cheerleader and you inspire me daily! You have helped me to keep going when I feel overwhelmed or like throwing in the towel. Thank you! X
Hi Katie. I really appreciate you sharing this video and speaking your truth. Thank you for sharing your story as it adds a personal touch and a sense of vulnerability where we can relate. I am glad that I found out about your program a few months ago, as I have struggled with my own self-esteem and self confidence. It can be hard when people tell you that you are either ugly, fat, or incompetent, etc. it can be really painful when you are already having a challenging time loving yourself, only to have other people bring you down. So, I am so grateful that you created a program and community that don’t just focus on the physical health but also provide ways to support people with their mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being. It is wonderful that you found your purpose as I feel the most rewarding and fulfilling work you can do is to help others. Congratulations on 10 years of an amazing journey and overcoming all those obstacles to be where you are at now. I strongly believe you will continue to reach more milestones and do great things. Again thank you for having such a big heart and for caring. All the best to you and your team!
Thank you Kathy, I so appreciate that and more importantly that you have found all the love and support of the LSF community. Others who try to tear you down are only doing so because of their own insecurities. I've found we have to feel empathy for those people and know they are doing it because they are hurting. It's not easy, but that knowledge does make it a lot easier to push past and do what you need for your body.
Katie I really enjoy these videos. I found your channel and Whitney Simmons 3 years ago. I left a toxic engagement. I weighed 189 pounds. Today I'm 125 pounds but more importantly I meditate, workout, I'm financially on target, I'm happy with me. Thank you! This video was a great reminder 4 me of "The Why" and to keep loving myself and the journey. I bought your bundle of protien and more. I'm so happy to trust the products you make 4 us. Thank u 4 helping women!! I love you and Ryan and your whole team!!! You changed my life.
@@LoveSweatFitness I switched from Women's Best Vegan protien. I love your vanilla protien tastes great with water and as a smoothie. Ms Congeniality tastes Fantastic!!! I mix it with Vital C. Into my coffee and I've been able to buy less pills through Persona due to it. Slumber party is the hot chocolate of my dreams with water and coconut milk. Wing Woman in water and smoothies is fantastic. I haven't tried the chocolate protien yet. I love these products. Thank u for 2 years of hard work so we can effortlessly be healthy.
So I was searching for information on how to feel healthier due to hypothyroidism and now entering menopause 😩😩😩. And your video pops up 🎉🎉🎉. I really like what you are saying. I feel awful and have weight that no matter what I tried I can’t lose 😡😡😡. I’m listening and hearing what you are saying, I’m hopeful!!!! Thank you so much 😊. This has been very inspirational ❤️❤️❤️
I understand the struggle with eating bad foods to make you feel better. Sneaking food from my loved ones is something I do on a daily basis. It's soo hard every day to do the right things for your body. I have the support from my husband, but I don't have the support from myself. It seems like something that is so far from being obtainable, or just impossible. I have said each week that this is the week that things are gonna change, then I fall off of track. These videos are an inspiration. Thanks for being such a beautiful woman both inside and out.
Thank you so much for opening up. I hope you always know you have a community of people at LSF who understand those feelings and are here for you! I am so glad my videos can help as well, that means so much to me!
“I can actually feel the impact the food has on me.” I love this! I’ve been intuitive eating for a few months now and omg it’s such an easy lifestyle change. I had a donut the other day and even tho I fulfilled the craving, I didn’t enjoy eating it. Thank you for your lifetime full of knowledge and advice. You look amazing btw. 💕☺️
Its the same way with the keto diet. Some people dont care if its a healthy food, what mattered to them was choosing carb vs carb. Choosing a carb thats 2g per serving vs something much healthier carb foods like broccoli which is 12g of carbs per cup but they prefer the packaged non veggie food because it was 2g of carbs. Im currently on keto for the passed 2 months, working so well but if i choose the broccoli vs the packaged foods because its a healthier choice, i dont mind that its 12g of carbs
I follow weight watchers but for me when I started in February, it was about portion control not restricting anything... I've been between 10-15lbs lost since then (thank you plateau lol) but my face is way less puffy and my tummy is smaller. ❤ I also focused on water, because in winter its not something I grab. I also hit subscribe so fast years ago because someone else struggled with hypothyroidism and understood the weight issues ❤
Congratulations!! Your story is so inspiring. I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism about 8 years ago and I’ve managed to keep off about 40 pounds since then. I’m still struggling with getting to my goal, which isn’t really a number but more like a healthy looking body like yours. Your comments about using food as a weapon is so spot on. That’s exactly what I do but never thought of it that way. I’m participating in your challenge right now and am really enjoying it! Thank you for all you do!
That is AMAZING progress, wow! Be patient with yourself, that less bit really can be tough, but you will get there. SSU challenge is the perfect way to work towards it!
Hi,Katie I have hypothyroidism and since being diagnosed My body hasn't been the same as before.I have been always skinny and now I cant say I love my body.I have been following you since years and you have helped me see food differently. I enjoy your workouts and your food shopping hauls since I buy a few of your items and it has changed me.I am still in the process of loosing weight to feel good about my body again.I think my problem is being consistent in my exercise routine and eating out during the weekends.💕💕
Katie you are amazing and it’s because of you and your meal plans , that I feel better with my IBS , believe me the pains I get are so debilitating just so bad and honestly I realized the things that help me and what are not good for me , yiur so amazing and my inspiration love you Katie 💕💕 I now know how to eat and what to eat from all that I learnt from you
Awesome!! So helpful!! I have learned that my cravings have changed as well! When I eat even a little bit of the food I used to eat, I physically feel so sick! It’s not worth it to eat junk. Thank you for your inspiration!
Honestly maintaining the weight loss is more impressive than the weight loss itself most times. I'm having a hard time pushing pass my current plateau of 60lbs weight loss and getting to my goal of 80. I feel like I'm fluctuating the same 5-10lbs
If you have more tips for breaking cyclical eating. For example, being easily able to follow a meal plan through the week, but Sunday's have been habitualized as an overeating day.
Katie thank you for sharing. Since February, I have changed my eating habits, added walking everyday and lifting weights. Dx of Hoshimotos. I also need to lose 40 pounds. Still working to find the right synthroid dosage I have lost 10 from Feb to July. I am much stronger and starting to see some slight results (how clothes fit). I still feel I should be seeing more results. Maybe a video that explains intervals of how your body started to change and what kept you motivated. Your clothes fit, seeing definition, feeling stronger. Even the little things. When did people start to notice a change? Maybe a journal type of vlog?
Great suggestions yes! Would love to do a video on those. If you are feeling like you aren't seeing results, would highly suggest my Hypo 101 Meal Plan...major game changer for me.
@@LoveSweatFitness thanks. I have tried the elimination hypo diet. I am trying to eliminate gluten, dairy, sugar. Adding more greens, fruit, protein, and water!! Does 10lb sound like enough? Treadmill walking 2 miles at 3.3 and moderate weights 6 times a week. I take Sunday off.
This sounds like my story & I’m 45 years if age~I’m my healthiest now yet still very small figure. Now I need to make sure I’m eating enough since my body is used to eating more & more. I’d love to get more of your daily vlogs & recipes.
Thank you for always being so honest, Katie! Your story and your dedication to a healthy lifestyle are inspiring! You have helped me so much over this past pandemic year when I had to figure out a new healthy lifestyle of my own (Gyms closed! Job changes! Routine changes!) Thank you!! 🙏💗💕
I appreciate videos like this so much! Because it is all about feeling healthy and great. Looking at food as what it is, an energy source. Thank you!!!!
I have only recently become aware that unhealthy relationships with food are 1. more than the eating orders we hear about, and 2. can be used as a way of selfharm. I always felt that I have normal eating habits because I'm not anorexic or overeating. But the truth is that sneaking food, swinging between starving and binging, and feeling guilty for enjoying food isn't normal. I realised that I need to find healthy habits that my body wants... So I am going to see a nutritionist soon, but struggling through exercises and saying "healthy, strong, toned" like you say in one of your videos help. It shifts my mind from "skinny" to health. I am strong. Stronger than most of my friends. But I am proud to say that!
I love your How I lost 45 lbs story, shows amazing progress and it is very motivational for people getting into healthy lifestyle Is whole wheat or whole grain bread or pasta better ? My BFF & I had couple of those friends in high school that were into drinking and partying instead of gym and living healthy. My FF does not even know her weight as she has no been on scale since like 12 I have been going to gym since 14 after school or on weekends whenever I am trying to find something to do I pick working out or swimming over alcohol or fast food dinner
That is awesome you are focusing on loving and taking care of your body. We can still enjoy life while keeping our body healthy and happy, balance always :)
Your video came to me at the perfect time and I just subscribed to your channel! Ive been struggling to lose weight for years now and I’m happy to hear your story, which I completely relate to. I was crying at the end of the video! Thank you for telling your story and helping others. You’re amazing! ❤️
I also have hypothyroidism and struggle with the overall “bleh” feeling. I’ve thought for a while that a large part of that is the food I put in my body. I’m looking forward to watching more of your videos! This one was very inspirational! Also, congrats on your success!!
Thanks! I do all of my own workout programing in the Love Sweat Fitness app :) The same ones I created when I lost my 45 lbs, I have developed on for the app.
Thank you for sharing your story and so many amazing tips and knowledge! I have learned so much from you. Your challenges have helped me so much. I have struggled so much with nutrition in the past. I’ve seen so many videos teaching people about things that they shouldn’t do! But your channel is a breathe of fresh air! You have the facts! I’ve learned so much from you and from nutrition and biology courses etc. I’m so happy to see how far my mind has come. My physical body is being worked on but the mental aspects have really helped. God bless you guys. ♥️ 🤗 (sorry if my grammar was wonky, I’m am soo tired lol. I almost typed “a fresh of breathe air”.)
It is so true what you are saying around 16th minute here. I got used to the great feeling the right foods can give me, thanks to the sugar detox and Hot Body Meal Plan, that now, when I went away for two weeks and couldn't eat what I wanted, I was missing chicken breast, spinach, broccoli and protein powder so much. Also, I could see more than ever before how change of diet back to less healthy food made me feel worse, more bloated, heavier on the stomach. Thank you for teaching me how to eat better. 💖💖💖
I absolutely love your videos!! You are so inspiring. I have struggled for years with yo yo dieting and late night binging. I am slowly learning to eat more intuitively. Your Guiltless Nutrition Guide, Hot Body Meal Plan, and your workouts have been so helpful to me. I also tried your protein and boosts, and I am loving those as well. Thank you so much for all that you do to inspire and encourage others! You are amazing! ❤️
Kristin!! thank you so much for the sweet comment! I am so happy that I could help you out! Seems like you are keeping yourself on the right track! You go girl! :)
I am new to your channel!! The content you post especially ideas for smoothies and what you eat throughout the day has been super helpful for me. I also love your skincare routines and it would be great to see the products you love especially for your dry skin :)
Oh my God. I'm 5'5 currently at my heaviest at 190...normal weight is between 135-140. The pandemic toll such a toll on me and I also turned to food for comfort and realized I'm a binge eater. I started a fitness journey this month but fell off, weight loss is a journey and I'm picking back up
Thank you so much for your story, I just want to give you a massive hug 🤗 I really admire you and I was wondering if you could do a video or something of how to make enjoyable meals on your own as I live on my own but I'm staying at my mums atm and she's not very supportive of healthy living and how to adjust because sometimes it isn't great to cook on your own really when you feel like everyone's attacking you for trying to be healthier. I don't mind cooking on my own but some tips on dealing with slight loneliness of cooking and dealing with unsupportive people would be great! Sorry for rambling and I hope this makes sense! You're the best xx 💕
Thank you for being so transparent. You look really beautiful by the way. Congratulations keeping the weight off.. Can you please do a "what I eat in a day " video ?
I relate to this one a lot....I've never had to worry about my weight before, I was always so active and ate tons of junk and never gained weight but was never happy with myself. I always felt like I could've Been smaller or stronger. I never felt good enough. Now that I've gained weight since covid started I look back and think I'm crazy I didn't love myself. But now it's even worse, i was known for being really small and petite and I'm not anymore... I'm trying to learn self love and learn how to live a healthy life since I never needed to worry about my weight before. I know that just being skinny isn't going to make me happy, because I've been there and done that but I still wasn't happy. I started trying to be more healthy 2 years ago but had this huge set back because of covid and losing my business because of that and moving. So I took my new "before photos" and hoping I can get on track lose the weight I gained and finally feel good and start truely loving myself. Thank you for being such an inspiration!
Hi! My name is ishna and I also have hypothyroidism and I found out about it about a year ago, I’m 14 right now and I have like 30 pounds overweight, what do you recommend that someone like me should do? I am really struggling with my weight and I don’t know what to do. I hope you see this and can give me some advice. Thank you for showing me that I’m not the only one going through this!
I think the best thing is to talk with your doctor and see what they think is right for you! I have so many videos on hypothyroidism that you can look into when you do your research too!
What are some other tips and advice that you can give to people with hypothyroidism? I really appreciated hearing about cooking foods like kale to help it breakdown and cooking with more asparagus. I really like this song. What song is used at the start of this video? Thank you
UGH......Counting POINTS!!! That's ME!!! It is SOOOO hard to get out of that mindset. I feel like every time I look at food....all I see are "points"!!
@@LoveSweatFitness I would love it if you could do a video on how to get out of the mindset of food and "points". I'm sure a lot of your followers have done Weight Watchers at some point and struggle with the same thing. I still struggle with this daily.
I'm in my journey right now. I started with working on one habit at a time. 1st drinking more water for a month. Then it was adding more fruits and veggies to my foods now It working out for 5 days a week!
When you shared your story, I saw myself. I recently came to the realization that I use food as a weapon... because I don't think I deserve to be happy. When you said those same words I was shook - I've never heard anyone talk about food in that way before... I thought I was alone.
So encouraged by you!! Love your channel. Also, I love your hair. I have darker hair naturally like you, but love the blonde. Can you tell me what you do to get your hair color? Highlights?
Way to go! Keep your positive attitude it makes a huge difference and keeps you in a wonderful place. Keep up the amazing work, you are Fabulous!! Thank you for creating your protein powders, they have helped me change protein consumption immensely. 😘🤗
Thank you for sharing your story I’m currently binge eating late at night I’m a mom of two and it’s not easy trying to juggle everything any tips on for stress I need some I picked up a bad habit of smoking cigarettes but I’m just trying to start a new lifestyle
Last year I lost 15kgs but I gained every weight I lost this year. I want to lose the weight back but don't want to be in a cycle of gaining and losing weight. I need help in losing the weight and keeping it off🥺
Question...do you weigh more now have a lot less inches in bust, waist, and hips. My scale is not moving and I have actually gained 5 pounds...but I have lost inches. Will I eventually start to lose weight again? I do need to lose at least 25 pounds to be at a healthy weight...but I have list 57 pounds so far.
Congratulations on all your progress so far! That’s amazing! Yes, I weigh more now than I did when I first lost all the weight, but am smaller measurement wise at 130lbs than I was at like 124. That’s totally normal as you gain muscle and burn fat
Thank you! I have arthritis in both knees and really need knee replacements...no thank you! Losing the weight really has helped with that I am also hypo and I will be 59 in October! I average about 10,000 steps a day. Most exercises are hard because of my knees and a lot I have to modify to do them standing or like push ups off the wall or hip thrusts and butterfly kicks for abs laying on my large ottoman. I'm okay with planks but can't do regular burpbies ...i just do a plank walk out legs and walk back in stand and jump...or use your disks for the floor. I have a small trampoline that I use for jumping jacks and running pushes. Do you think you might consider doing a UA-cam video for an exercise plan adapted for someone like me ? 🤞keep inspiring!❤
Please share more tips for those with hypothyroidism. I’ve been lifting weights and can see some muscle definition coming in on legs and arms , but I cannot lose this belly! 😩
You made me feel inspired to make myself feel good, which is not where i thought this vid was going lmao. also! i think your voice reminds me of june diane
I did it all too:/ busted my butt for years, every diet. Ever. 4 kids. Now my youngest is 6 and I’m at 146lbs and I just can’t get back to 135. I feel like crap, I don’t even know what to eat anymore and I’m exhausted from working out. Any suggestions??
Nutrition is the place to start and not with a "diet", but with healthy eating lifestyle adjustments. Made the world of difference for me. Have you checked out my meal plans? Highly suggest them because they actually work and are sustainable. my.lovesweatfitness.com/collections/all-ebooks
Ask me anything you still want to know👇🏻 Share where you’re at and ask me anything!
I'm using the hbmp and it's difficult for me to follow because I HATE fish, and some of the meals use fish. I'm not real big on ground turkey either.

Thank you!!
So weird how you described my entire life just now... it's such a battle. And so difficult when one feels powerless to change anything.
Thank you
Of course! Glad to help :)
Such a inspiration to us all I think 🙌you should be so proud of yourself Katie❤️

Into my coffee and I've been able to buy less pills through Persona due to it. Slumber party is the hot chocolate of my dreams with water and coconut milk. Wing Woman in water and smoothies is fantastic. I haven't tried the chocolate protien yet. I love these products. Thank u for 2 years of hard work so we can effortlessly be healthy.
So I was searching for information on how to feel healthier due to hypothyroidism and now entering menopause 😩😩😩. And your video pops up 🎉🎉🎉. I really like what you are saying. I feel awful and have weight that no matter what I tried I can’t lose 😡😡😡. I’m listening and hearing what you are saying, I’m hopeful!!!!
Thank you so much 😊. This has been very inspirational ❤️❤️❤️
You're so welcome!
I understand the struggle with eating bad foods to make you feel better. Sneaking food from my loved ones is something I do on a daily basis. It's soo hard every day to do the right things for your body. I have the support from my husband, but I don't have the support from myself. It seems like something that is so far from being obtainable, or just impossible. I have said each week that this is the week that things are gonna change, then I fall off of track. These videos are an inspiration. Thanks for being such a beautiful woman both inside and out.
Thank you so much for opening up. I hope you always know you have a community of people at LSF who understand those feelings and are here for you! I am so glad my videos can help as well, that means so much to me!
You're so inspiring and personable, I love these type of videos! Thank you for sharing and being so real with all of us.
Thank you so much!! I love sharing with you guys:)
“I can actually feel the impact the food has on me.” I love this! I’ve been intuitive eating for a few months now and omg it’s such an easy lifestyle change. I had a donut the other day and even tho I fulfilled the craving, I didn’t enjoy eating it. Thank you for your lifetime full of knowledge and advice. You look amazing btw. 💕☺️
YES! A lifestyle is exactly what it should be. No more diets or quick fixes, just treating your body well on the daily + enjoying life of course.
Love you, girl! The past few weeks have all been about mental change for me. It’s so important.
You got this! Sending you lots of love !
You're not Amazon. 😂 Won't happen overnight! Love that.
;) they are so fast
Lol, might be like getting Amazon shipped to Alaska though 🤣 Takes forever!!
I love how you talk about having to learn how to be an intuitive eater!!! So true.
Its the same way with the keto diet. Some people dont care if its a healthy food, what mattered to them was choosing carb vs carb. Choosing a carb thats 2g per serving vs something much healthier carb foods like broccoli which is 12g of carbs per cup but they prefer the packaged non veggie food because it was 2g of carbs.
Im currently on keto for the passed 2 months, working so well but if i choose the broccoli vs the packaged foods because its a healthier choice, i dont mind that its 12g of carbs
So true!
I’m still struggling with my weight covid & peri menopause really did a number on my self confidence! Your videos are so inspiring!
You got this girly!
I'm 48 years old and have had a hysterectomy(ovaries in tact). Trying to lose a minimum of 30 lbs. Thank you so much for what you do❤
I’m new to your channel and I feel the passion that you have to help others thank you so much for your videos so motivational thank you
Of course!! I really do love sharing with you guys!
Your story is so relatable and inspiring! Thank you for being vulnerable and sharing with all of us! You are amazing!
Thank you so much!! I love sharing with you guys!
I follow weight watchers but for me when I started in February, it was about portion control not restricting anything... I've been between 10-15lbs lost since then (thank you plateau lol) but my face is way less puffy and my tummy is smaller. ❤
I also focused on water, because in winter its not something I grab.
I also hit subscribe so fast years ago because someone else struggled with hypothyroidism and understood the weight issues ❤
Seems like you're on the right track!! And yes drinking water is so so important! So glad I've been able to help you out girl :)
Congratulations!! Your story is so inspiring. I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism about 8 years ago and I’ve managed to keep off about 40 pounds since then. I’m still struggling with getting to my goal, which isn’t really a number but more like a healthy looking body like yours. Your comments about using food as a weapon is so spot on. That’s exactly what I do but never thought of it that way. I’m participating in your challenge right now and am really enjoying it! Thank you for all you do!
That is AMAZING progress, wow! Be patient with yourself, that less bit really can be tough, but you will get there. SSU challenge is the perfect way to work towards it!
Hi,Katie
I have hypothyroidism and since being diagnosed My body hasn't been the same as before.I have been always skinny and now I cant say I love my body.I have been following you since years and you have helped me see food differently. I enjoy your workouts and your food shopping hauls since I buy a few of your items and it has changed me.I am still in the process of loosing weight to feel good about my body again.I think my problem is being consistent in my exercise routine and eating out during the weekends.💕💕
So glad my videos have been able to help. Remember, skinny isn't beautiful, healthy and fit are the goal :) You can do this!
@@LoveSweatFitness Thank you, yes you are so right💕
Hi!! Thank you for your insight. How long did it take for you to drop those pounds and change your lifestyle?
This was such a great video!! The best so far! Very helpful all the information you shared!!
Katie you are amazing and it’s because of you and your meal plans , that I feel better with my IBS , believe me the pains I get are so debilitating just so bad and honestly I realized the things that help me and what are not good for me , yiur so amazing and my inspiration love you Katie 💕💕 I now know how to eat and what to eat from all that I learnt from you
I am so happy that I was able to help!! You are so strong, you got this Mary!
OMG! Yay! So grateful you made an updated video! Love you, your videos, and Team LSF!☺️🥳💕
So happy you liked it! #TEAMLSF
Awesome!! So helpful!! I have learned that my cravings have changed as well! When I eat even a little bit of the food I used to eat, I physically feel so sick! It’s not worth it to eat junk. Thank you for your inspiration!
I SO feel that !! I love sharing my journey with you guys!
Honestly maintaining the weight loss is more impressive than the weight loss itself most times. I'm having a hard time pushing pass my current plateau of 60lbs weight loss and getting to my goal of 80. I feel like I'm fluctuating the same 5-10lbs
If you have more tips for breaking cyclical eating. For example, being easily able to follow a meal plan through the week, but Sunday's have been habitualized as an overeating day.
Yes! I can def do more videos on this!
Katie thank you for sharing. Since February, I have changed my eating habits, added walking everyday and lifting weights. Dx of Hoshimotos. I also need to lose 40 pounds. Still working to find the right synthroid dosage I have lost 10 from Feb to July. I am much stronger and starting to see some slight results (how clothes fit). I still feel I should be seeing more results. Maybe a video that explains intervals of how your body started to change and what kept you motivated. Your clothes fit, seeing definition, feeling stronger. Even the little things. When did people start to notice a change? Maybe a journal type of vlog?
Great suggestions yes! Would love to do a video on those. If you are feeling like you aren't seeing results, would highly suggest my Hypo 101 Meal Plan...major game changer for me.
@@LoveSweatFitness thanks. I have tried the elimination hypo diet. I am trying to eliminate gluten, dairy, sugar. Adding more greens, fruit, protein, and water!! Does 10lb sound like enough? Treadmill walking 2 miles at 3.3 and moderate weights 6 times a week. I take Sunday off.
This sounds like my story & I’m 45 years if age~I’m my healthiest now yet still very small figure. Now I need to make sure I’m eating enough since my body is used to eating more & more. I’d love to get more of your daily vlogs & recipes.
More vlogs coming for sure!
👍👏😀 I like this type of conversation videos.👍 Congratulations Katie 🎈🍾🎊🎉 of your 10 years healthy life journey.
Thx Nancy!
Thank you for always being so honest, Katie! Your story and your dedication to a healthy lifestyle are inspiring! You have helped me so much over this past pandemic year when I had to figure out a new healthy lifestyle of my own (Gyms closed! Job changes! Routine changes!) Thank you!! 🙏💗💕
So happy that I can help you out!!
I appreciate videos like this so much! Because it is all about feeling healthy and great. Looking at food as what it is, an energy source. Thank you!!!!
Exactly! Glad you like them :)
I have only recently become aware that unhealthy relationships with food are 1. more than the eating orders we hear about, and 2. can be used as a way of selfharm. I always felt that I have normal eating habits because I'm not anorexic or overeating. But the truth is that sneaking food, swinging between starving and binging, and feeling guilty for enjoying food isn't normal. I realised that I need to find healthy habits that my body wants... So I am going to see a nutritionist soon, but struggling through exercises and saying "healthy, strong, toned" like you say in one of your videos help. It shifts my mind from "skinny" to health. I am strong. Stronger than most of my friends. But I am proud to say that!
I am so happy that you are taking the steps you need to better yourself! You ARE strong! So proud of you and plz keep me updated on your journey!!
@@LoveSweatFitness ahw! Thank you so much!! I absolutely will🤩
Thanks that helped me to know I'm going in the right direction. ❤
thats amazing !!!
I love your
How I lost 45 lbs story, shows amazing progress and it is very motivational for people getting into healthy lifestyle
Is whole wheat or whole grain bread or pasta better ?
My BFF & I had couple of those friends in high school that were into drinking and partying instead of gym and living healthy. My FF does not even know her weight as she has no been on scale since like 12
I have been going to gym since 14 after school or on weekends whenever I am trying to find something to do I pick working out or swimming over alcohol or fast food dinner
That is awesome you are focusing on loving and taking care of your body. We can still enjoy life while keeping our body healthy and happy, balance always :)
Your video came to me at the perfect time and I just subscribed to your channel! Ive been struggling to lose weight for years now and I’m happy to hear your story, which I completely relate to. I was crying at the end of the video! Thank you for telling your story and helping others. You’re amazing! ❤️
Welcome! I'm so happy it hit for you and can hopefully help on your journey. The whole LSF community is here for you!
I also have hypothyroidism and struggle with the overall “bleh” feeling. I’ve thought for a while that a large part of that is the food I put in my body. I’m looking forward to watching more of your videos! This one was very inspirational! Also, congrats on your success!!
I feel that!! So glad that I can help you out!! And thank you :))
Thank you sOOO much!! You are such an inspiration and honestly very relatable.
I am so glad :) thank you!
I love this video! What kind of workouts helped you lose weight?
Thanks! I do all of my own workout programing in the Love Sweat Fitness app :) The same ones I created when I lost my 45 lbs, I have developed on for the app.
You are so inspiring thank you for all you do.
Thank you so much!
Thank you for sharing your story and so many amazing tips and knowledge! I have learned so much from you. Your challenges have helped me so much. I have struggled so much with nutrition in the past. I’ve seen so many videos teaching people about things that they shouldn’t do! But your channel is a breathe of fresh air! You have the facts! I’ve learned so much from you and from nutrition and biology courses etc. I’m so happy to see how far my mind has come. My physical body is being worked on but the mental aspects have really helped. God bless you guys. ♥️ 🤗 (sorry if my grammar was wonky, I’m am soo tired lol. I almost typed “a fresh of breathe air”.)
Omg Andrea!! I am so glad that I could help you out:) thank you so so much for the sweet comment. I wish you all the best
It is so true what you are saying around 16th minute here. I got used to the great feeling the right foods can give me, thanks to the sugar detox and Hot Body Meal Plan, that now, when I went away for two weeks and couldn't eat what I wanted, I was missing chicken breast, spinach, broccoli and protein powder so much. Also, I could see more than ever before how change of diet back to less healthy food made me feel worse, more bloated, heavier on the stomach. Thank you for teaching me how to eat better. 💖💖💖
YES! I love hearing that you experience that and are loving a new lifestyle.
@@LoveSweatFitness I really am! The first thing I packed to my luggage was my workout clothes and the bands. And I was thinking "who that?" 😅
I absolutely love your videos!! You are so inspiring. I have struggled for years with yo yo dieting and late night binging. I am slowly learning to eat more intuitively. Your Guiltless Nutrition Guide, Hot Body Meal Plan, and your workouts have been so helpful to me. I also tried your protein and boosts, and I am loving those as well. Thank you so much for all that you do to inspire and encourage others! You are amazing! ❤️
Kristin!! thank you so much for the sweet comment! I am so happy that I could help you out! Seems like you are keeping yourself on the right track! You go girl! :)
I am following along with the 6 week shape up and it feels so good! 🙌 thank u
Yay! Loving the SSU challenge with you girls!
I am new to your channel!! The content you post especially ideas for smoothies and what you eat throughout the day has been super helpful for me. I also love your skincare routines and it would be great to see the products you love especially for your dry skin :)
So happy you are here!! I'll definitely try to incorporate that in my coming videos!
I can relate to this in every way shape and form. Thank you so much for sharing!!!!!❤️❤️❤️
Absolutely!! You're so welcome!
I needed to hear this today. Thank you.
You are so welcome!! I got you girl
I need to get back on track ! Thx for the inspiration!
You got this!!
Oh my God. I'm 5'5 currently at my heaviest at 190...normal weight is between 135-140. The pandemic toll such a toll on me and I also turned to food for comfort and realized I'm a binge eater. I started a fitness journey this month but fell off, weight loss is a journey and I'm picking back up
You got this!! Just try to find a routine that works well for you and stick to it! Keep me updated
You are so inspirational! Love your channel ❤️
Thank you so much for your story, I just want to give you a massive hug 🤗 I really admire you and I was wondering if you could do a video or something of how to make enjoyable meals on your own as I live on my own but I'm staying at my mums atm and she's not very supportive of healthy living and how to adjust because sometimes it isn't great to cook on your own really when you feel like everyone's attacking you for trying to be healthier. I don't mind cooking on my own but some tips on dealing with slight loneliness of cooking and dealing with unsupportive people would be great! Sorry for rambling and I hope this makes sense! You're the best xx 💕
Thx! Yah I do have a few cooking videos on my channel, but def something I want to do more of!
Happy Sunday Katie,
What an awesome video,
You look fabulous,
Thank you so much!
You are such a strong woman!
tysm!
Love the video ❤️ about to start week 2 of the #LSFChallenge and feeling good, mindest is everything!! ❤️
Yay! You rock!
omlll that is insannnee . you're amazinng . you've come such a long way and much stronger. luv uuuu
tysm!!
@@LoveSweatFitness awh oml thank you for replying . ily and you're welcome
Thank you for being so transparent. You look really beautiful by the way. Congratulations keeping the weight off.. Can you please do a "what I eat in a day " video ?
Thx! I actually just did a new one really recently, check it out!
I relate to this one a lot....I've never had to worry about my weight before, I was always so active and ate tons of junk and never gained weight but was never happy with myself. I always felt like I could've Been smaller or stronger. I never felt good enough. Now that I've gained weight since covid started I look back and think I'm crazy I didn't love myself. But now it's even worse, i was known for being really small and petite and I'm not anymore... I'm trying to learn self love and learn how to live a healthy life since I never needed to worry about my weight before. I know that just being skinny isn't going to make me happy, because I've been there and done that but I still wasn't happy. I started trying to be more healthy 2 years ago but had this huge set back because of covid and losing my business because of that and moving. So I took my new "before photos" and hoping I can get on track lose the weight I gained and finally feel good and start truely loving myself. Thank you for being such an inspiration!
I know it can be tough but you go this! You can do this!💗
Hi! My name is ishna and I also have hypothyroidism and I found out about it about a year ago, I’m 14 right now and I have like 30 pounds overweight, what do you recommend that someone like me should do? I am really struggling with my weight and I don’t know what to do. I hope you see this and can give me some advice. Thank you for showing me that I’m not the only one going through this!
I think the best thing is to talk with your doctor and see what they think is right for you! I have so many videos on hypothyroidism that you can look into when you do your research too!
What are some other tips and advice that you can give to people with hypothyroidism? I really appreciated hearing about cooking foods like kale to help it breakdown and cooking with more asparagus. I really like this song. What song is used at the start of this video? Thank you
Thank you! I have a whole video on hypothyroidism-check it out! I didn't use a song in this video but I usually do in my other videos!
UGH......Counting POINTS!!! That's ME!!! It is SOOOO hard to get out of that mindset. I feel like every time I look at food....all I see are "points"!!
Being aware that you do that is the first step to making a change!! You got this!
@@LoveSweatFitness Thank you so much!
@@LoveSweatFitness I would love it if you could do a video on how to get out of the mindset of food and "points". I'm sure a lot of your followers have done Weight Watchers at some point and struggle with the same thing. I still struggle with this daily.
I'm in my journey right now. I started with working on one habit at a time. 1st drinking more water for a month. Then it was adding more fruits and veggies to my foods now It working out for 5 days a week!
So proud of you!! Keep it up and keep me posted! :)
When you shared your story, I saw myself. I recently came to the realization that I use food as a weapon... because I don't think I deserve to be happy. When you said those same words I was shook - I've never heard anyone talk about food in that way before... I thought I was alone.
You never alone!! Talking about it is the best recipe to heal.
So encouraged by you!! Love your channel. Also, I love your hair. I have darker hair naturally like you, but love the blonde. Can you tell me what you do to get your hair color? Highlights?
Thx! Yah I do balayage :)
Just found you and binging all your videos!
so so happy you're here!!
Way to go! Keep your positive attitude it makes a huge difference and keeps you in a wonderful place. Keep up the amazing work, you are Fabulous!! Thank you for creating your protein powders, they have helped me change protein consumption immensely. 😘🤗
Yesss! LOVE hearing that and so glad you're loving the LSF Protein :)
Thank you for sharing your story I’m currently binge eating late at night I’m a mom of two and it’s not easy trying to juggle everything any tips on for stress I need some I picked up a bad habit of smoking cigarettes but I’m just trying to start a new lifestyle
I totally understand that struggle. Making simple changes over time can help! Meditation and journaling has helped me a lot!
Also these are one of my favorite type of videos you make.
Yay, thank you! :)
Wow, I so needed this!
I got you girl!
Last year I lost 15kgs but I gained every weight I lost this year. I want to lose the weight back but don't want to be in a cycle of gaining and losing weight. I need help in losing the weight and keeping it off🥺
For sure get that. Consistency for me came when I had a plan. Love eating on my LSF meal plan and then my workout program in the app.
Question...do you weigh more now have a lot less inches in bust, waist, and hips. My scale is not moving and I have actually gained 5 pounds...but I have lost inches. Will I eventually start to lose weight again? I do need to lose at least 25 pounds to be at a healthy weight...but I have list 57 pounds so far.
Congratulations on all your progress so far! That’s amazing! Yes, I weigh more now than I did when I first lost all the weight, but am smaller measurement wise at 130lbs than I was at like 124. That’s totally normal as you gain muscle and burn fat
Thank you! I have arthritis in both knees and really need knee replacements...no thank you! Losing the weight really has helped with that I am also hypo and I will be 59 in October! I average about 10,000 steps a day. Most exercises are hard because of my knees and a lot I have to modify to do them standing or like push ups off the wall or hip thrusts and butterfly kicks for abs laying on my large ottoman. I'm okay with planks but can't do regular burpbies ...i just do a plank walk out legs and walk back in stand and jump...or use your disks for the floor. I have a small trampoline that I use for jumping jacks and running pushes. Do you think you might consider doing a UA-cam video for an exercise plan adapted for someone like me ? 🤞keep inspiring!❤
You look so beautiful in this video! Your makeup girl is on point 💕
Thank you so much!!
So relatable! 🤍🤍
I love sharing with you guys!
Your amazing!!! Seriously!!! Thank you so much 😊🥰🙏🌻
Awww thank you!!💗
Before I lost 100 lbs I would crave spicy sweet and sugary foods but I used to dislike too many things. now I love veggies, avocados & tomatoes
It's the best when the things you love to eat actually are healthy !!!
Please share more tips for those with hypothyroidism. I’ve been lifting weights and can see some muscle definition coming in on legs and arms , but I cannot lose this belly! 😩
I got you!
@@LoveSweatFitness omg thank you so much!! ☺️🥺❤️
You made me feel inspired to make myself feel good, which is not where i thought this vid was going lmao. also! i think your voice reminds me of june diane
Glad to hear it!! You got this girl!
Thank you for this video is very important .send love from Croatia
Back at you Croatia!
I did it all too:/ busted my butt for years, every diet. Ever. 4 kids. Now my youngest is 6 and I’m at 146lbs and I just can’t get back to 135. I feel like crap, I don’t even know what to eat anymore and I’m exhausted from working out. Any suggestions??
Nutrition is the place to start and not with a "diet", but with healthy eating lifestyle adjustments. Made the world of difference for me. Have you checked out my meal plans? Highly suggest them because they actually work and are sustainable. my.lovesweatfitness.com/collections/all-ebooks
Im a little late to watch this but darn I needed this motivation😃
you got this!
Did you ever plateau? That’s where I’m at and so annoyed. Been the same weight since March
Yes! it happens to everyone because your body will naturally adjust.
You look beautiful in this video!!!! It’s nice to see you more covered up bcuz you’re beautiful!!!!!!!
Thanks, not sure what covering up has to do with being beautiful or not...I feel beautiful regardless and so should everyone.
Absolutely amazing inside and out💯👊💪🥰
aw omg thank you!!
