surprisingly, the map is alot smaller than youd think, especially in vr. Still an amazing feat that she did it on a treadmill, but imo skyrim without fast travel isnt too unplayable if ur not tryna speedrun or rush things, especially in vr due to the faster walk speed. i cant imagine actually walking though, that seems like pain
I beat the game without fast traveling just because I was too dumb to think of it 😬, even when travelling by horse I would just try to climb a mountain of something and spend hours trying to figure a way to get to my destiny but never even though about just using the roads to get there efficiently
I am sure you don't have vr headset 😂 there is almost no game that will not make you sweat! Some of them will make you sweat sooo much that you have no energy to go anywhere
@@Jokershadow696 The Walking Dead VR doesn't make me sweat, but i guess it really depends on how you play it. I recommend Synth Riders/Beat Saber for arm cardio(i prefer synth riders with its easily accessible custom songs more than Beat Saber with its updates that break the game when modded every time) and Pistol Whip for legs though.
I’m using beat saber and ragnarok to do some cardio every day, and wear a weighted vest a couple of times a week to add some extra pressure. Works wonders.
"I beat the main campaign [of Skyrim] completely on foot.." to even be able to say something like that is MIND BLOWING to me! You're completely killing it Nikita, you don't know me as i'm just a random guy on the internet but be told, i'm proud of you☺
Don’t forget that you might lose fat with exercise but you could gain weight from muscles. Don’t hyper fixate on the numbers since they don’t represent the whole picture. Enjoy the journey!
Muscle does weigh more than fat, however if you know the basics of your height, age, and so forth, it's easy to come up with a reasonable weight goal, even if you add muscle mass. Goals are always good to have when working out, especially if you are starting out from a place of needing encouragement.
@@CyberKnightX21 I think what they mean is that sometimes change can feel slow if you only look at the scale. Because even though fat will be lost, some muscle will also be gained. So that she shouldn't feel discouraged if the weight loss stops for a bit from time to time.
Completely agree. I have tried explaining this to multiple people and most of them did not understand it. I am more toned then I have been in a long time, but at the same time I am heavier now then I have ever been in my life. Weight alone is not a good enough indication of progress.

honest, committed, no waffling for 6 mins about vaguely connected context, just the details of the subject at hand, putting out your journey and giving others the opportunity to be inspired. great stuff dude, liked and subscribed
Well to be fair this isn't really insurance sucking. Weight loss surgery should be an absolute last resort, due to the various issues and risks involved in it.
I know this isn't an ad but this is the most effective advertising of the Katwalk I've ever seen. Also congrats on the weight loss you're doing amazingly and I'm glad it has made you more confident. You look frickin gorgeous and you can absolutely see the hard work paying off big time.
The main reason I bought mine is because I moved into a place where my desktop and VR setup was in a much smaller room and I literally had just enough space to strand and stretch my arms without hitting a wall or desk/bed. So I thought this would be a good buy, and it ceratinly has been really cool to freely play VR with all intensity without ever once hitting my desk. I couldn't even keep myself from doing that a few times when I had a ton of space to walk some. It's ceratinly expensive, but it could be useful. Hopefully VR tech will continute going forward and we'll get beter, higher tech options in the future
@ScarryHarry93 not hitting walls is one of the best things about this haha. I find myself playing games that I don't even use my feet with on it for that reason.
I cannot stress how awesome this is and how proud I am of you for not giving up! I'm a huge health/fitness junky and VR nerd. I love seeing the two come together ❤ Keep up the great work! Sidenote: Flat2VR is GOAT-ed
@NikitaFajitaa OH that sounds fun! If you like factory games, Satisfactory works pretty well. Not the best for actual building (I tried it when it first came out, but heard there were improvements) but fun to explore. Also if you liked minecraft VR checkout Valheim. It's got Flat2VR support.

So proud of your effort! Fitness and exercise are the biggest selling points of VR and someone who plays video games to relax is not going to want to do this stuff. Great effort!! Loved the video.
I think this is such a cool exercise method! I wouldn’t bother trying any of the official diets that are out there. Just focus on being at a calorie deficit and you’ll continue losing weight. Good luck!
Well done! Keep pushing! Food is always the hardest part tbh.....im not overweight but i see this as winning in both worlds " Staying active/Gaming" best add for an item ever! 🙌
Congrats hun, you look fantastic btw! VR is actually an amazing cardio workout if you choose the right games and use your space to the fullest and actively move around. I started trying to high score H3VR's take and hold mode and I was actively sweating by the end.

Congratulations! I bought the C2+ for the same reason, but still getting used to it, I do get motion sickness, but before i would get motion sickness within 5 minutes, now if i close my eyes when the cart in Skyrim flys everywhere and continually spins, I can cope for about 1-2 hours with general use; so a major improvement. I think if I had it over again I would buy the core instead, cheaper, you don't have to disassemble the whole back which has multiple screws and bolts just to adjust the height and the vehicle hub seems to limit the bottom half of your range by about 10% (So i removed that and disabled haptics as it seems to mainly only vibrate when you are selecting options in the menu). Keep up the good work!
@lewisstevens1 I'm glad your motion sickness has improved! Yeah to be honest I recommend the core. For a couple of reasons. 1) I've been using that treadmill exclusively 2) 500 bucks for haptics and cool lights when I can buy a real haptic vest for 500. I'd rather get the vest.
This is awesome! 🤩 Congratulations on your epic journey! Mad respect! Also thank you for presenting the solution to my husbands struggle to go on a jog everyday when he does not want to go outside. 😁👍 He will love this thing!
I have been dreaming about walking through games while ACTUALLY walking and never knew something like this already existed!! I’m mind-blown! That’s so cool.
You are amazing! Thanks for the no nonsense, genuine video. I just need to find room for this machine in my game room. Congrats on hitting your goals :)
This is cool, I was just using a sit stand desk with a walking treadmill under it. Lost a ton of weight but your setup seems like a lot more fun because of the immersion!
Major props for finding an exercise that works for you and sticking to it. I hope you find the next thing, whether it be form of exercise you enjoy or bit of meal planning knowledge that gets you that level of in exercising.
Congratulations on your success! That's so cool how you managed to turn your hobby into a workout routine, I am super impressed. I wish you the best of luck reaching your target weight!
I came across this video randomly, and I must say, I thoroughly enjoyed it and am absolutely impressed! What an incredible idea! Keep up the great work, you look great!
It's incredible how much hard work you've kept up with! Congratz on the weight loss! I've been working to lose weight too, I've lost 100lbs in 2 years and am now 180, but I still have a lot of work to do lol Congratz again, keep working hard and you'll hit your goal!
I've never seen your videos but I'm glad you shared this one and it blows my mind you can walk/run that far. Most Humans couldn't do what you did. KEEP GOING!!!
Wow, nice job! I first came across your content about a year ago - happy to see you’re still making videos! You’re definitely one of the most unique VR content creators!
WOOT WOOT !!! Amazing testiment!!! You go girl!!! I wont be getting one of these but I've noticed I get a burn on playing games like Synth Riders. That's pure motivation!
The weight loss update is awesome 👌 👏 👍 Might I suggest you use very fine grit polishing pads to polish the plastic base of the scratched catwalk to restore the glossy surface. It will reduce the dust shedding that creates the puddy. And restoring the shine will increase the slick effect for the shoes.
I got recommended me this randomly, but I have to say that I'm so happy to see your progress. It reminds me of my own journey, and I can personally relate to it all. I've always found that it's not hard to start a journey, but to stay with it, to take the next step constantly. Anyways, really amazing work, I'm impressed and inspired, you got this!
First of all - Skyrim completed - what a feat! in VR? Madness! On foot? No fast travel? No carriage? Bro do it again and have a Guinness' World Record guy watching! Respect with a capital R. Second of all instead of counting game time now we will count game mileage - brilliant! Well done on your journey, keep up the good work.
@jasonshortphd lots of classic games can be modded. Not all of them sadly, but a good handful! Skyrim you don't even need to mod, you can get it in the steam store as Skyrim VR!
This is my first video of yours. I’m glad you were able to achieve what you wanted to and are still motivated to continue to a further goal. You’ve got this. I hope to see you along the way, best of luck!
Awesome work!! Not that you asked,but some tips to lose weight and keep it off for those who may not know: -do resistance training, the muscle mass speeds up your metabolism and passively burns fat. -eat more protein, ideally close to 1g per pound of target body weight in combination with resistance training, and try to eat more like the Mediterranean diet. Avoid unnatural sugars/processed foods/deep fried as much as possible, this will help to reduce inflammation. But don’t completely resist the foods that you like, otherwise you will probably binge eat later. -don’t go too crazy with the cardio in the grand scheme of your training overall, as it tends towards slowing down your metabolism for the sake of endurance. -try to get good sleep and have good sleep hygiene. Lack of sleep will slow down your recovery/gains. Ideally you want to keep your sleep schedule consistent and lay in the bed for 9 hours to get that solid 8 hours of sleep. -try to avoid/reduce unnecessary stress as much as possible, it’s the same as lack of sleep. Good luck and good health to all of you!
remember, your diet isnt just about the types of food you eat, it's also about the quantity of food you're eating, if you're eating a ton of food, no matter how healthy, you're going to be storing it in your body, it's all about calories in calories out
@DugdoesDigging for sure! This has been a struggle for me. I've also been trying to implement volume eating. Like eat as much as I'd like but it's gotta be salad or something really low calorie ya know.
I appreciated how you made an effort to convey a balanced and considerate summary of your journey and process. Probably everyone knows what personal failures or disappointment feel like (I sure as heck do), which makes your video so relatable. But your commitment to continuing the work (and play) makes it inspirational. This was a great testimonial to the power of gamification. At points in my life, I found the time and motivation to bang out 10-30 hours a week of training for different sports or other physical activities, but that has always required active effort to move away from a default lowest energy state of laziness. Games, OTOH, have always had such a lower inertia or static friction to overcome that launching a game is very nearly the same as doing nothing for me. It's absolutely not the same as even walking, but I'll spend an hour or two daily for weeks at a stretch, wrestling with my steering wheel on sim racing rally courses. Even that much is even to get me sweaty (in both fitness and meme senses). I don't have a rig suitable for VR right now, but I've been curious about VR treadmills for a few years now. It would really add to the milsim / open world games I like (Arma 3, Space Engineers, GTA V). None of them directly support VR that I'm aware of (though I know there was a mod tech demo for Space Engineers), but their sequels or future games in the same categories probably will support VR. Heck, or even VR games that I'm just not aware of. At my Arma 3 peak, I would easily clock 5-10 km on foot in a single session, mostly spent just holding down the W key to walk, jog, or sprint. In a week on a treadmill, that finger press could be converted into 40+ km of walk/jog time, which is definitely not what I'm currently doing weekly. :P Even if I wimp out and and lazily seek rides vehicles more often, it'd still be a lot of walking. :D A game with physics simulation for the player character would be rad, making it so that the player's VR interaction can affect actions like stumbling, falling down, standing up, etc. (burpees and Turkish get-ups are a big part of my workouts)
My suggestion for weight vest is a mil-sim style work out plate carrier, they make "armor" shaped weights that are basically just painted steel of varying thickness depending on the weight you want, they are extra nice because plate carriers are designed to be worn 12+ hours when you properly adjust them on yourself. Also because they are solid they cant leak anything.
Gosh you make me jealous, one day I'll get those funny machines so that I can fully experience the life of a dragonborn, one day... Also I really love seeing the before and after shots! I like seeing people get healthy and able to do epic stuff like walk a thousand mile! It's just such a cool thing to see, keep it up!
1000 miles?!? I must...Proclaim...that is quite impressive... .......But I would walk 500 miles! And I would walk 500 more! Just to be the man who walked a THOUSAND miles to fall down at your door! Yeah....I'll let myself out...
This is awesome. I got the Kat Walk pucks some years ago and walked up the steps of high hrothgar. You've gone so much further and hit huge milestones. Very, very cool
Those last few pounds your gonna have to shave in the kitchen, i recommend instead going high protein with a lil strength training. Trade any remaining fat for muscle.
@clipso9061 id love to, its tough. I know diet plays a bigger part than exercise. It's the exercise that keep me motivated to do better in the kitchen. It's tough though. I've been doing high protein low carb for the most part. I'm a little bit at a loss for strength training. I need to figure out a routine for that. Any recommendations?
@ trainner winny here on youtube makes strength training a bit easier to understand. I recommend modifying his recommendations to be higher rep ranges though if you dont want huge honkin muscles. He mainly focuses on body building but his advice applies to all strength training
I was so overwhelmed by the joy of deeper immersion in a video game that I forgot diet culture exists. Wonderful video, just very jarring to my autistic ass specifically
Love to see this! I need to burn down to a weight where I'm within the bounds of what they allow for the treadmill. Thanks for the information, and the inspiration!
No clue why this showed up in my feed but I am beyond impressed! I know you didn't intend for this to be a commercial but it certainly makes me want to consider VR and getting one, if I had the room that is. Great job and good luck on your journey!
Not sure why this popped up on my feed but I'm very glad it did. Really good video, never thought of getting catwalk for my VR. And what a great journey you have taken here. You look great don't focus on numbers. Focus on how you feel.
Skyrim with no fast-travel, is already a feat. Doing it in VR.... That's something else entirely. Well done
do you have ADHD or something? it's not a big world. it has the same density as a theme park.

Outside of the carts, I NEVER use fast travel, finding shit as you walk is like half the fun of beth games
@@kedly same, ive played the game on almost every platform and in vr fully modded, and imo part of the rpg esthetic is actually traveling places
I beat the game without fast traveling just because I was too dumb to think of it 😬, even when travelling by horse I would just try to climb a mountain of something and spend hours trying to figure a way to get to my destiny but never even though about just using the roads to get there efficiently

Congrats! That's a HUGE weight loss. Good job!
@@TheandroidR Thank you 😊
Really wholesome video! Loved every minute of it! Great job and keep going!
This is cool, I was just using a sit stand desk with a walking treadmill under it. Lost a ton of weight but your setup seems like a lot more fun because of the immersion!
Major props for finding an exercise that works for you and sticking to it. I hope you find the next thing, whether it be form of exercise you enjoy or bit of meal planning knowledge that gets you that level of in exercising.
Great review, great progress, great attitude.
@@blastoice9281 Thank you 😊
I dont know you or your videos, you just popped up randomly in my home page, but I wanted to say that I am proud of you for sticking with your goal.
Congratulations on your success! That's so cool how you managed to turn your hobby into a workout routine, I am super impressed. I wish you the best of luck reaching your target weight!
I came across this video randomly, and I must say, I thoroughly enjoyed it and am absolutely impressed! What an incredible idea! Keep up the great work, you look great!
@@jackie87430 Thank you 😊 I appreciate you watching!
It's incredible how much hard work you've kept up with! Congratz on the weight loss! I've been working to lose weight too, I've lost 100lbs in 2 years and am now 180, but I still have a lot of work to do lol Congratz again, keep working hard and you'll hit your goal!
@mr.waffles8739 Thank you, and congrats on your 100lb weightloss! That's a big deal and not easy!!
I've never seen your videos but I'm glad you shared this one and it blows my mind you can walk/run that far. Most Humans couldn't do what you did. KEEP GOING!!!
@@prestonasher2291 Thank you for watching and the kind words 😊
Wow, nice job! I first came across your content about a year ago - happy to see you’re still making videos! You’re definitely one of the most unique VR content creators!
@@NeoFablesVR thank you 😊
This is the most wholesome video I've ever seen and I am freakin proud of you! Absolutely awesome.
@@the1ucidone Thank you 😊
WOOT WOOT !!! Amazing testiment!!! You go girl!!! I wont be getting one of these but I've noticed I get a burn on playing games like Synth Riders. That's pure motivation!
@DeathRoyale for sure! VR in general is great for calorie burning 🔥
honestly, mad respect, the consistency is the hardest part to me and i think you killed it nikita!
@@fettuccine99 Thank you 😊
this is actually motivating to watch, i didnt really think much of the katwalk...maybe ill reconsider now and get it
This is awesome! Keep it up and congrats for not quitting, it’s inspiring!
Congratulations! I hope KAT VR is paying close attention to your stress-test results.
@stephenriggs8177 for real, i have valuable info :p
Not the content I normally watch but this was very inspiring. Good luck on your fitness journey!
@@cubandarknez Thank you 😊
The weight loss update is awesome 👌 👏 👍 Might I suggest you use very fine grit polishing pads to polish the plastic base of the scratched catwalk to restore the glossy surface. It will reduce the dust shedding that creates the puddy. And restoring the shine will increase the slick effect for the shoes.
@@nowayjose7870 oh snap! Great advice, thank you. I'll give it a go on my scratched one
Congratulations on your report, and on your evolution, I'm sure it will motivate many other people to have beneficial changes in their lives.
That is some impressive dedication, youve come this far so youll def make it the rest of the way.
@@BloopTube Thank you 💪
I got recommended me this randomly, but I have to say that I'm so happy to see your progress. It reminds me of my own journey, and I can personally relate to it all. I've always found that it's not hard to start a journey, but to stay with it, to take the next step constantly. Anyways, really amazing work, I'm impressed and inspired, you got this!
@@raidmaster6879 Thank you 🧡
Okay, this is freaking cool. Congrats on your fitness accomplishments.
Let's Go!! Way to get healthy your way. You're actually a very strong inspiration for others. Much success, be blessed, and keep giong! 💯
First of all - Skyrim completed - what a feat! in VR? Madness! On foot? No fast travel? No carriage? Bro do it again and have a Guinness' World Record guy watching! Respect with a capital R.
Second of all instead of counting game time now we will count game mileage - brilliant!
Well done on your journey, keep up the good work.
@@samuelwojciak8037 Thank you 😊 game miles is def the way to track haha
this is so awesome, glad this came up on my feed, excited for your progress
Wow, that is super cool. I’ve never played a VR game, didn’t know Skyrim and WOW were even capable of that.
@jasonshortphd lots of classic games can be modded. Not all of them sadly, but a good handful! Skyrim you don't even need to mod, you can get it in the steam store as Skyrim VR!
That's incredible! Good for you! 🎉👏
This is my first video of yours. I’m glad you were able to achieve what you wanted to and are still motivated to continue to a further goal. You’ve got this.
I hope to see you along the way, best of luck!
@@Deaths_Crow_Real Thank you 🧡 its been a crazy year, but I really think 2025 is my year to reach my goals! Hope to catch you in a stream 😊
This is so cool! Showed up in my reccommended today and I'm glad it did. I wish you the best of luck with your journey, you're killing it!
@@A-Wild-Frost Thank you 😊
So cool! Congrats! ✨
@@fukustar Thank you 😊
You go girl. You are awesome. Keep up the great work. You should be proud of yourself.
Awesome work!! Not that you asked,but some tips to lose weight and keep it off for those who may not know:
-do resistance training, the muscle mass speeds up your metabolism and passively burns fat.
-eat more protein, ideally close to 1g per pound of target body weight in combination with resistance training, and try to eat more like the Mediterranean diet. Avoid unnatural sugars/processed foods/deep fried as much as possible, this will help to reduce inflammation. But don’t completely resist the foods that you like, otherwise you will probably binge eat later.
-don’t go too crazy with the cardio in the grand scheme of your training overall, as it tends towards slowing down your metabolism for the sake of endurance.
-try to get good sleep and have good sleep hygiene. Lack of sleep will slow down your recovery/gains. Ideally you want to keep your sleep schedule consistent and lay in the bed for 9 hours to get that solid 8 hours of sleep.
-try to avoid/reduce unnecessary stress as much as possible, it’s the same as lack of sleep.
Good luck and good health to all of you!
@@PotHat i appreciate the advice. I'm always open to doing better. I need to work on doing some resistance training for sure.
broooo..this is amazing! congratulations! and keep going!
remember, your diet isnt just about the types of food you eat, it's also about the quantity of food you're eating, if you're eating a ton of food, no matter how healthy, you're going to be storing it in your body, it's all about calories in calories out
@DugdoesDigging for sure! This has been a struggle for me. I've also been trying to implement volume eating. Like eat as much as I'd like but it's gotta be salad or something really low calorie ya know.
Congratulations on your success. I'm happy for you. 💜
The real numbers are how many dragons have you slayed? That is what we all really want to know.
@Rocky-or4rz i wish knew omg
Finally, someone asks the important questions!
This is absolutely amazing, well done! Made me want a VR treadmill even more!
@elrick471 Thank you 😊 VR treadmills are awesome even without the weightloss. I love running from death claws haha
I appreciated how you made an effort to convey a balanced and considerate summary of your journey and process. Probably everyone knows what personal failures or disappointment feel like (I sure as heck do), which makes your video so relatable. But your commitment to continuing the work (and play) makes it inspirational.
This was a great testimonial to the power of gamification. At points in my life, I found the time and motivation to bang out 10-30 hours a week of training for different sports or other physical activities, but that has always required active effort to move away from a default lowest energy state of laziness.
Games, OTOH, have always had such a lower inertia or static friction to overcome that launching a game is very nearly the same as doing nothing for me. It's absolutely not the same as even walking, but I'll spend an hour or two daily for weeks at a stretch, wrestling with my steering wheel on sim racing rally courses. Even that much is even to get me sweaty (in both fitness and meme senses).
I don't have a rig suitable for VR right now, but I've been curious about VR treadmills for a few years now. It would really add to the milsim / open world games I like (Arma 3, Space Engineers, GTA V). None of them directly support VR that I'm aware of (though I know there was a mod tech demo for Space Engineers), but their sequels or future games in the same categories probably will support VR. Heck, or even VR games that I'm just not aware of.
At my Arma 3 peak, I would easily clock 5-10 km on foot in a single session, mostly spent just holding down the W key to walk, jog, or sprint. In a week on a treadmill, that finger press could be converted into 40+ km of walk/jog time, which is definitely not what I'm currently doing weekly. :P Even if I wimp out and and lazily seek rides vehicles more often, it'd still be a lot of walking. :D
A game with physics simulation for the player character would be rad, making it so that the player's VR interaction can affect actions like stumbling, falling down, standing up, etc. (burpees and Turkish get-ups are a big part of my workouts)
My suggestion for weight vest is a mil-sim style work out plate carrier, they make "armor" shaped weights that are basically just painted steel of varying thickness depending on the weight you want, they are extra nice because plate carriers are designed to be worn 12+ hours when you properly adjust them on yourself. Also because they are solid they cant leak anything.
Gosh you make me jealous, one day I'll get those funny machines so that I can fully experience the life of a dragonborn, one day...
Also I really love seeing the before and after shots! I like seeing people get healthy and able to do epic stuff like walk a thousand mile! It's just such a cool thing to see, keep it up!
@@modranklob5085 Thank you 😊 More before and after to come when I reach my goals 🚶♀️
Well done on sticking to your goal! This was a solid review.
@ajcottrill4949 Thank you 😊 I'm working on it everyday! I haven't taken a day off since September 28th!
1000 miles?!? I must...Proclaim...that is quite impressive...
.......But I would walk 500 miles! And I would walk 500 more! Just to be the man who walked a THOUSAND miles to fall down at your door!
Yeah....I'll let myself out...
@@moohrgan haha I was so thinking of making a tiktok with that song for the achievement
This is awesome. I got the Kat Walk pucks some years ago and walked up the steps of high hrothgar. You've gone so much further and hit huge milestones.
Very, very cool
Congrats! That's a huge accomplishment
@@firstaidpanda578 Thank you 😊
Wow this is amazing. I hope you inspire more people with this. This is an amazing way to stay active 💪🏾
@@damjay005 Thank you 😊
Those last few pounds your gonna have to shave in the kitchen, i recommend instead going high protein with a lil strength training. Trade any remaining fat for muscle.
@clipso9061 id love to, its tough. I know diet plays a bigger part than exercise. It's the exercise that keep me motivated to do better in the kitchen. It's tough though. I've been doing high protein low carb for the most part. I'm a little bit at a loss for strength training. I need to figure out a routine for that. Any recommendations?
@ trainner winny here on youtube makes strength training a bit easier to understand. I recommend modifying his recommendations to be higher rep ranges though if you dont want huge honkin muscles. He mainly focuses on body building but his advice applies to all strength training
@clipso9061 thank you, I appreciate your recommendation 😊
How have I not come across this channel already?! Glad I found you. Great work.
@@SenorShrimpVR Thank you 😊
I was so overwhelmed by the joy of deeper immersion in a video game that I forgot diet culture exists.
Wonderful video, just very jarring to my autistic ass specifically
Thats Awesome! you give grinding it out a whole new meaning. well done.
@@bekleiner dedicated to the grind 💪 Thank you
Love to see this! I need to burn down to a weight where I'm within the bounds of what they allow for the treadmill. Thanks for the information, and the inspiration!
No clue why this showed up in my feed but I am beyond impressed! I know you didn't intend for this to be a commercial but it certainly makes me want to consider VR and getting one, if I had the room that is. Great job and good luck on your journey!
@@thedarkwolf25 Thank you 😊 i didn't want to make it an ad, I just wanted to share my experience haha
You're channel could blow up keep it up. This is mind blowing
@@Loady420 Thank you 😊
Not sure why this popped up on my feed but I'm very glad it did. Really good video, never thought of getting catwalk for my VR. And what a great journey you have taken here. You look great don't focus on numbers. Focus on how you feel.
@@rxibot Thank you 😊 I'm glad the algorithm brought you here. I feel so much better now than I did a year ago!
