    It was so relatable when Alyssa mentioned how seeing someone else’s weight fluctuate it makes sense to you but when it’s your own it’s a different response. Love this series so much!

    I’ve been following you for years man and I feel that so many people get discouraged on their fitness journey because of the lack of education and knowledge. I love your channel because you take the time to educate us about weight fluctuations and help people develop a better mindset around nutrition and weight loss. If everyone were to see this perspective in this video I think it would ease a lot of people’s minds. I do want to see another series like this please! Although, I’m 80lbs down now I can definitely relate to Alyssa a lot during those beginning stages.

    wow this cannot be more timely! after losing weight consistently the last few weeks, this week, my weight has been going up 2 days in a row and I have not changed a thing... it's good to remind myself weight fluctuation is normal. it's normal. it's normal.

    @VeganMangoQueen 11 місяців тому +1

    I’ve been watching Dr Mindy pelz and incorporating fasting and one thing I learned is hormones and stress like Jordan said play a big part. The week before my cycle starts it’s normal for my weight loss to slow down or even gain then it’s back down a few days later. Keep good Alyssa great job.

    I usually do not comment on videos, but this series is awesome! Alyssa has such a great personality and is very relatable. I have the same issues with perfection, dealing with fluctuations, etc. The interactions between the two of you is very encouraging and enlightening. Please continue this series. Everyone needs this realistic view on fitness and weight loss.

    Thank you Jordan ❤ I’ve had you in my ear constantly for the past 2 years and have lost 100 pounds. You are so right it is important not to get lost in the minute details of fat loss and fitness but rather to communicate the basics clearly for everybody to understand. This series represents that perfectly. Keep it up!

    I reduced my calories to 1500 a day with calorie counting and go to the gym twice a week and in the last month I've lost... 0lb. I give up. I did the exact same diet and exercise regime in the past and lost nearly 30lbs. I don't get wtf is going on. I had a baby almost 2 years ago now and I can't lose weight. If I need to reduce below 1500 calories now to create a deficit then I seriously dont see how I can stay consistent. The only thing I've noticed different is my hormones being totally out of whack because the pms after having my baby is unreal. I watch these videos and they help me stay the course but 4 weeks without any progress on a regime that worked in the past....ita depressing

    • @kindyesweakno
      @kindyesweakno Рік тому +1

      I feel you. I’ve struggled with changing hormones and it’s frustrating when what worked in the past doesn’t work in the present. After trying for a year, the scale finally started to move for me when I upped my exercise to 4-5/ days a week. I started lifting heavy (max 6-8 reps) and on days I don’t hit the gym I walk 10-15K steps a day. This is so different from what I’ve done in the past but I finally found what works at this age. You can too, hang in there!

      you may have developed pcos after your pregnancy. check out weight loss for pcos it might help. has an impact on what kinds of food you should or shouldn't eat and what kind of sports are better for you than others. it has to do with stress levels and cortisol in the body, hormons have a huge impact on weight.

    @msadams224 Рік тому +7

    I totally understand the battle with the scale. I think the number going up will ALWAYS bother me, which is why I elect to not weigh daily. I think being a teenager in the early 2000's has just permanently effed up my brain in that regard. Alyssa is 100% killing it! Keep up the great work. 🙂

    OMG! The weight fluctuation chart just truly opened my eyes! You mean to tell me every time I was losing weight and had a sudden spike of 2-3lbs I was more than likely still losing weight!! And this was me working with weight loss Drs who were telling me I must have been cheating (when I wasn’t) so I just said F it and now I’m back at square 1! This is why it helps to work with someone who is truly knowledgeable about helping people lose weight as opposed to some one who just wants you to take shots for weight loss and have high protein drinks for meals! 🤬

    I feel that a hard thing for me is just enjoying the journey. Something I've noticed recently is that I don't just eat because the food is there. I eat until I'm full and then I stop. That's a big win for me. This was a reminder that from time to time it's good to take breaks from restriction, and just eat the foods I love... and then get back on track.💪

    This series is amazing and so valuable not only for people who need to lose a lot of weight but even for us who are more advanced. I personally have learned so much and been motivated. Especially this and last episode - going about eating out and on the go. I used to have an all or nothing mentality but for me "Perfection is prison" has been my new moto! Still struggling a bit with guilt in such situations but I've been much better! Thank you and Alyssa for taking us on this journey!

    So on point that it's easy to understand the fluctuations and even predict them with someone else, but with yourself, it's so discouraging. Love the honesty of Alyssa saying I don't know I didn't track it. I need to stop saying fuck it. I've been listening to you for years and stay on the same hamster wheel 😢

    Jordan thank you for doing this series. I have been on a journey of healing my relationship with food/body. You’re always so great at simplifying and taking the shame out. I recently found out I’m pregnant with my 4th (suprise baby) and I already have 30 lbs I want to lose. It’s so great to not get freak out by that and instead look at it logically how I can take care of myself now and then when I’m postpartum can follow all these great tips. Thanks again for this series.

The scale has been my enemy since I was 4, but I’m learning to trust the process slowly and just weigh. Eat normally - and the crazy thing is I’m feeling great and losing - slowly but loss is loss right?!

Thank you both for opening up and sharing your knowledge for so many others like myself. I am currently seven months postpartum with my second over the course of the last three and a half years. I am struggling to love and appreciate my body for what it’s given me after battling infertility and PCOS among other things for so many years. This series has reminded me that it doesn’t have to be all or nothing. You have inspired me and given me a kick in the ass to do what I can with what I have at the moment and for that I’m thankful.

Not this time. So THANK YOU. Thank you for this series. Now to better work on the mental work behind “not eating to just eat” but actually honoring my fullness. Because my body is changing. I am 25lb down with 70+ to go. I need to relearn my body and its needs.

    Oh. My. Gosh! It’s like you all have been in my head. I started my journey to losing weight after meeting with a nutritionist on 1/11. Yesterday, I weighed myself and the scale was up 3 pounds from where it was last week. I cried and felt shame. I woke up this morning feeling down on myself and then I watched this. I need to give myself some grace and know that the fluctuations will happen and that doesn’t mean it isn’t working and I have no reason to feel guilty. I need to focus on the non-scale wins. Thank you!
