  • Jumping Rope for Seven Days: Results | Weight Loss Journey | losing 200 lbs | Weigh in Wednesday
    In "Jumping Rope for Seven Days: Results | Weight Loss Journey | losing 200 lbs | Weigh in Wednesday" I share my experience jumping rope every day for seven days, the results and the plus deltas. The plus deltas surprised me a little. But, I am so excited to share what happened, if I will keep jump rope while my size and if I would recommend jumping rope for weight loss while morbidly obese.. Recently a few people have asked in the comments how I got to be the size I am.
    I re-learned to Jump Rope by watching the Jump Rope Dudes. / @jumpropedudes
    These Jump Rope Dudes videos helped me a ton:

    IT's Weigh in Wednesday, and as you may know... on my journey to lose 200 llbs, I have committed to myself I would upload a Weigh in Wednesday video every week. This week wasn't perfect, but it was a good week!!

    I'm glad you're outlining your failures to. Keep it real. I hate the over positive and toxic stories out there that all say "yeah, it's hard, but just keep at it." Sure, it's true, but showing and acknowledging HOW you fail or don't meet your expectations, and then, showing how you get back on track... THAT'S the REAL story. Don't skim over the difficulties and failures. People starting their journey find it relatable and encouraging, and it just might motivate one more person not to give up.

    "Work on your form before you even attempt to start"
    That is so important, for any exercise. Performing an exrcise incorrectly can hurt us, good form is important to keep going well. Some people rush in and that can put stress on certain areas of our bodies. It's better to start off slow and get it right than try and do as many as possible ASAP

      She’s going to ruin her joints. She needs to start out with low low impact. Walking, swimming and water aerobics. She’s going to blow out her knees by the time she hits 40. If her knees go, she’ll never lose weight.

    This is someone you want to root for cause she is actually trying and hasn't made excuses. She has been actually honest and open and is really trying. She is consistent with her workouts and is holding herself accountable and is eating right. This is a person who wants it. Amber Lynn Reid Is someone who doesn't want it. She makes up excuses and does not stick with anything or show accountability. As someone who weighed 230 lbs at my heaviest I know the struggle and the discouragement but to lose weight you have to really want it. This woman wants it. Amber Lynn does not sadly despite what she says. I am rooting for you April!

      I dont know this other channel or person you are bashing but it is ridiculous. Everyone (big or little) knows that losing weight is a goddamned CHALLENGE. It is HARD. So, if you dont want to watch someone's journey then STFU & move on to a new channel. But good grief, don't jump to another channel & start bashing tbe old one. Not everyone is mentally or physically in the same space, at least people are trying. Life is too fucking hard as it is, no need to be a dick to someone who might be having a harder time on their journey.

The problem is I'm in a wheelchair fulltime (non weight related) but a huge part of how I got soo big. I'm not able to workout like you do, I do band and weight work and sedentary cardio, but I sure wish I could do true workouts. I love your uplifting personality and commitment. You are beautiful inside and out. Thankyou for sharing your story😊

Even to just a month ago, you have given me such a more positive and encouraging view on life as a whole. I'm just obsessed with you. Well done for losing weight again, you're doing amazing!! Love from the UK

    Hi April im going to start posting my weight loss journey in the comments cause you made me really want to start and join you.
    7/30/20 I am 192.6
    I started realizing I needed to lose weight when I reached 200lbs as a 21 year old woman who is 5'3 active duty military (my lowest was a muscular 145) and i would be out of breath doing anything. I am trying to go for runs more now and boy is it hard.. you keep me motivated to try my hardest though. I'll post an updated weight under your weekly weigh in!!

    Found your channel yesterday (yt recommended it). I'm not on a weight loss journey, but I can't stop binge watching your videos. You have a very compelling personality. I found myself asking "why am I watching a stranger go to the dollar store?" LOL and the answer is because I enjoy you as a person in your videos. I love your honesty, your ability to see both sides of a story (such as looking at the deltas, pluses, failed, won, etc), how calm you seem, it makes me feel calm too and also motivated to pursue my own journey in my own areas, such as improving my job goals, healthier eating goals, money goals, whatever it is. Much love xxx

You're doing amazing, and I hope you know you're having a big impact on your audience!

    I love your videos. Are you familiar with intermittent dieting? I started with 16/8, then 20/4 and now I'm down to OMAD=one meal a day. I lost about 10lb per month the first few months, the weightloss has slow down as I don't have alot to lose anymore, but maybe it can work for you too. I workout almost everyday as well. Intermittent dieting is not for everyone, I didn't think it was for me but my husband lost alot of weight doing it and after a month of quarantine and losing weight by eating well and exercising I thought maybe I should try it and I'm so grateful I did. Keep up the awesome work. 💪🤗❤

    As long as you're prepared for this journey take 4 years, it's a good choice to be losing slowly. Sure you could NOT starve and loose more especially the first 100 pounds, but losing it slowly will probably help with potential loose skin at the end of your journey. You're doing great job!!!! Keep going!

      That's so funny. My mom spells "outside" too so the dogs don't get excited if she says the word. They will start jumping and whimpering. She also spells out the word "park". Her last dog loved the park and understood what it meant.

    I'm so happy to hear about you finding workouts you enjoy. I've noticed a lot of people tend to see the gym as a chore, but who wants to do another chore several days a week? It's so helpful to find something you genuinely enjoy that also happens to be exercise-- like jumping rope! You're doing great!

    Loosing weight is 80% food 20% exercise. Keep going with the calorie counting, it needs to be accurate. You might need to weigh your servings. No hate just trying to give some real advice. Xo

    • @bellawolff2011
      @bellawolff2011 4 роки тому +3

      I lost the first 57 pounds with no exercise at all. It's not necessary and for some people, like me, exercise increased my appetite to the point where I was at maintenance calories. I started exercising at 142 pounds, I'm 5 feet tall. It helped me with the last 35 and it's crucial for maintaining. But right now, I can't afford to get injuries so I walk a lot and lift. And walking is enough exercise at 105 that I can lose weight if I want. I got to 97 just walking.

I think it's super smart that you're losing weight slowly and not depriving or starving yourself, you'll be less likely to fall off the wagon. I am also on a weight loss journey and, like you, I am a shorty (4'11.5) I'd like to lose about 25 lbs.

But a good thing I keep in mind is that even though there were failings, it is good to remember than any weight loss (healthily) is great! No matter how small, any weight loss is another step towards your goal

    April I had never jumped rope before and taught myself over lockdown. I started in April (lol) and was so bad at it. I’ve kept going and practicing and have recently started to master side swipes and crossovers. It’s easily my favourite exercise now, and the fact that you can do it anywhere is another appeal to it. I recently subbed and can’t wait to see all your successes. You are a lovely person and an inspiration to all! Keep going 💪🏻 xx

    I just binge-watched your journey so far! So much of what you say and how you feel resonate with me. I lost 25lbs before the virus hit and have gained it back. I also need to lose 200lbs, but I weigh about 40lbs more than you. I think I may get back in the saddle and wanted to say thanks for that bit of motivation I needed to remind myself of what I ultimately want. Congratulations on your success so far and I pray you will be able to keep up the hard work needed to reach your goals! Thank you so much for being so brave to post about your struggles!

You are gorgeous inside and out and I am on this journey with you. I feel so lucky to have found you - especially being a veteran. Seeing your videos is reminding me of my time in the military and it was some of the best times of my life. I'm not sure if this is even possible, but could you jump rope on a trampoline? I totally get it but please don't feel that you failed. You didn't quit. You kept at it. You lost a pound. Tracking sucks.
