I LOVE these, SJ! You manage to find something unique and interesting to say about one of the most saturated and clique market out there. The things we hear everywhere about diet success and weight loss just feel so done and old. You really showed a new view into diet willpower. Thank you so much! I the tip about thinking of the things you won't have instead of what you will have is so powerful. Really enjoyed watching this! ❤️ xx
Ysis Lorenna ah thank you ysis; I find diet videos a little hard to film so just try to say what worked for me - I’m super happy it made sense outside just my brain! Xxx
You have literally hit the nail on the head with this!! I have had loads of people commend me for my will power since doing cambridge but you’re right, I have just been strong and determined in making good choices for myself. The way I have been thinking about it recently and the closer I get to goal is that all what I have done has been an investment into myself and it’s one of the best things I have done for myself for a while! Loved this video SJ 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 xxx
Well done you. Thanks for sharing, it's inspired me to keep going as I'm on week 4 of Cambridge and cheated last week but back on track and more determined than ever as I still lost inches!!!
I'm rewatching your videos to motivate me. Out of all (and I've been looking at alot) the motivational videos for weight loss on UA-cam, I genuinely think this is the best. Your videos , particularly this one, are the most motivating things to listen to! You are so real, you make it seem doable. Thank you xx
Those tips are bloody brilliant. I lost four stone before, and gained it all back having my daughter. Today is my first day of my diet.... i am going to treat myself!!
I like that - avoidance of something bad. I definitely think that will motivate me more. I will not be the same weight this Christmas that I was last year. 👍💪🏻
I love the genuinety of your videos......its really motivating and I always watch one of your videos to give me the motivation and encouragement that I need.
I hadn’t thought about avoidance before. So rather than thinking i want to be a certain weight in my next interview (after i graduate next yr) think i don’t want to be this big 👍🏻 x
I am currently 13 stone and I want to be 9 stone by 3rd February 2021, which will be the start of my 2 week holiday in Disney World and I refuse for my weight to ruin this holiday. So the goal is to lose 56 LB in 4 months and 2 weeks, I think I will record my journey but will only upload after I have reached my goal to make sure what I do works. 💪🏻
You’re so right. The first time I lost weight my reason was that I couldn’t return back to work at the size I was and I was determined not to have to request a bigger uniform. The second time was that because I’d lost weight before I could return to my job after having my second baby without having lost all the weight again. Now I’m a student at 30 I don’t have that same want because I don’t wear a uniform again, and don’t have work to return to so have regained all my weight. I need to find that reason again. I guess the shame of people who didn’t care about me spurred me on to loose weight and now that I’m surrounded only by family who care, or new people at college who’ve never seen me any other way, I just don’t have that same motivation. Thank you for this because I haven’t been able to figure out why I can’t seem to stick to anything. Now at least I have an idea, I just to see find what my new motivation is. xx
Katie Jay ah katie that makes total sense to me. When I lost weight after my second baby it was entirely motivated by going back to work. This time I didn’t go back and didn’t have that “end line” but her birthday became mine. Also you’re so similar to me in that; I don’t think I looked awful before and my husband totally fancied me as I was, I had amazing friends. We moved to a new area and I didn’t know anybody and I think that jolted me; if that hadn’t of happened I don’t think I’d have recalibrated. But it’s not worth getting to a bad point; if it’s making you a little bit unhappy and you’re checking out other people all the time and wondering if you’re bigger or smaller than them (which I did all day everyday!) or wishing you could wear that - use that. I never think about my weight now and just the brain space is worth it! X
Hi SJ, I remember when you started your weight loss journey last year. I commented and told you that I was also going to start. We're now a year on and you look amazing and I haven't lost any weight. I'm absolutely gutted and angry with myself. My daughter turns 2 on the 27th December and I would love to have lost some weight by then. I live in Denmark, so don't have the option of the Cambridge weight loss program, but I hope I can figure it out on my own. Thanks for doing this vid xx
I needed this so much today! I’ve lost 2 stone on the CWP and I’ve just moved to stage 3 and I’ve returned to old habits this week! This has reset my brain, thank you!
Sassy Boo omg step 3!!! It took me weeks to transition as I loved step two so much. I had step 2 days still and tired to gradually introduce it as it’s so hard; I totally had the same! So glad it’s not just me!!!
I didn’t want to move on from step 2, I found it so much easier! I might try and have a few stage 2 days still. It’s encouraging to hear you found it harder too but you’ve managed it, this video really has helped, it absolutely is about making lots of little decisions. You look fab and you manage being an amazing mum with a career, inspiring!
I am in an unhappy place with my weight. I am not doing a diet as such but I am not going to let myself get heavier. I don’t have a huge weight loss goal, but I want to weigh less each week. Even if it’s only a little bit each week then that is okay. We work in kilograms here in New Zealand so even if I am down 100g in a week I am going to take it as a win. I am trying to tell myself that this is the last time that I will be this weight and I don’t have to do it fast or drastically but I need to do it! I have never succeeded before so I am scared to vocalise it. I will never be this weight again.
Really refreshing tips! Every Christmas I end up feeling rubbish and wanting pictures with the kids but at the same time not wanting a single picture of me looking so bloated and uncomfortable. Hopefully this year I can have the will power to lose before Christmas rather than gain
So true! I always feel awful by Xmas day and just eat for the sake of it; there's no reason not to have a great day wearing a slinky black dress vs an oversized jumper - ha ha! x
Thank you for this video. Just found you through Ash Mama Reid’s recommendation on one of her videos. Brilliant tips and I’m off to watch the rest of your videos 😂 xx
Thank you SJ! You are amazing! I think your videos are brilliant, I always take away a positive mindset from you so thank you for that. I wondered, did you exercise also? TIA. Louise x
Ah thank you - no I didn't just kept active with the kids. I always walk the school run and it's 20mins each way 4 times a day so that's good and I notice it in my body if I don't do that x
You're much better placed to talk about it - just subbed to your channel :-)) Thanks so much for watching - any other tips you have send them my way! xxxx
I've just started step 2 on Cambridge on day 2 and eecckk hungry and struggling so this video has come at right time eecckk I'm struggling to belive it will happen I too have 4 stone to lose I've never ever been tin always a bigger girl so can't imagine my self smaller
Great video SJ! Have you given any thought to what you will do over Christmas? I'm a healthy eater most of the time but when Christmas or holidays are coming up I start to think about what I could have and it's usually bad stuff - never sugar though as it's too addictive. How do you manage holidays & special occasions? Xx
Janice-Ann I haven’t thought too much about it yet but I actually think I’ll really try to be disciplined as I find the “middle ground” where I get a bit into super bad habits. No carbs is a rule I try to stick to and when we eat out now whereas before I wouldn’t have anything now I choose the healthiest thing on the menu. Xx
@@SJ_Strum yeah I think I'm going to do my best to be good too. It's easy to undo a lot of hard work in such a short space of time. I'm going to cut those food thoughts right out of my brain xx
