CARLI JAY from Sydney, Australia grew up severely overweight but was always told that it was hereditary and “big bones run in the family". When she was 24, Carli left Australia and traveled 25 countries in seven months ending up in the UK, where she has been for the last 10 years. It was in the UK that her weight rocketed to 280lbs, and the dress sizes kept increasing as the change in lifestyle led her to be less active. After waking up one morning feeling as though she was paralysed, as her weight trapped a nerve - Carli knew that she needed to make a dramatic change to her lifestyle. What began as a simple desire to become healthier soon became more, and Carli vowed to lose half her body weight in two years... Carli is now a published author, and a health, wellness and life coach, mentoring people around the world, helping them achieve their own personal goals.

This is what happens when you lose weight naturally. Her face looks healthy.
thank you xx
...those legs do not, tho.....
True. Quick weight loss can age one's face but not in Carli's case. She's still stunning.
@@MissCarliJay You are welcome and look beautiful.
Mom In law got the bypass surgery......she looks like a melting candle.
I love that she still took photos. Looks like she never withdrew from life.
I was thinking the same thing! I’m so happy for her!
never ever! i always loved photos/memories even when i was big xx
I thought she was confident before and after!
@@tamraquelle Yep i sure was, always loved my body and had confidence both big and small xx
@@MissCarliJay Thank you for sharing your story. Your energy is infectious! It's a real misconception that all big people are unhappy and hate themselves.
I love how she went back to Dubai ! Its stories like this that keep me motivated to keep losing weight!
THANKS LOVELY XX
Yes I love that she went back! I'm so happy for her! 🙌
@@fightingdreamer8681 thank you x

@@PlusSizePersonalTrainer then clearly you miss my point. If she was as you said before. Then why change?
@@PlusSizePersonalTrainer Yep exactly! i was always confident, thank you lovely x
@@PlusSizePersonalTrainer I think you got something to hide, right. You make one comment. Then completely edit it. So it is 100% different from the first. If what is said is true. They would be the same as they were before,

People who suffer from headaches or chronic migraines might notice these symptoms slowly vanish once they drop the pounds.👍
Should also try to lower carbs as that's been linked to it aswell. Which is mostly due to the increased inflammation in the body due to high carb consumption.
Or once they open their third eye 👁️

Yep agree! this is me and i used to get really tried and have bad headache - everything feels better now x
I wish that was the case for me. I’ve had migraines my entire life even at my healthiest.
I love hearing these weight loss stories, people don't understand how important it is to be healthy!

I honestly get a little jealous at women this big who still have perfect skin with no stretch marks. Like how? lol Even when I was 180 my body was like nope, too big. Release the stretch marks. 🤣
don't worry girl i still have stretch marks and saggy skin :) ive also written a book about my story and a whole chapter about skin care and maintenance after weightless xx
@@MissCarliJay well your skin looks so pretty before and after. lol
@@MzCrayKray thanks lovely xx
I have stretch marks too -_- hahaha but i dont care much about them anymore
Just use Cocoa butter and it will look better.
Happiness just shines right out of her! She’s amazing and well done for the journey!
Oh thank you!!! appreciate this comment hun xxxxx
There's something infectious about her. I smiled the entire video. Awesome journey!
Aw thank you so much 😊
I started with KETO this week and lost 3,1 kg within a week. I will keep going
Do what works for you hunny, its all about the healthy life xx
Good for you! Just make sure it stays sustainable for you. Best of luck! 💖
@@flightlessclover1571 of course! its been 7 years and ive written a book about it all xx
Keto is the best thing I found!! I'm a cancer survivor and eating right is huge for healthy living. I was 180lbs when I started keto I'm 151lbs now I'm 5 feet so even losing my first 5 lbs made huge difference in my clothes, keep eating right and working on yourself!! 💗

“... to help myself” these three little words are simple but so full of self-love.
yes exactly all about self love! xx
Years ago they'd say that obese families were just ''big-boned''. We know better now. What a stunning lady. Very well done
thank you! :)
She's so pretty and lovely and now she has the figure to go along with it ! Sky diving wouldn't do it for me but I'm glad she got to fulfill her dream !
Thank you means a lot to me x

THIS IS BODY POSITIVITY! It's so easy nowadays to just throw in the towel, blame your genes/diet culture and jump the fat acceptance bandwagon. It shows character to not choose the easy way and fight for your health. You're so inspiring and look gorgeous!
Thank you so so much xxx much love
So tru
You have an amazing mindset, I hope to work towards having one myself. "I am my biggest fan, my no. 1 supporter. I will always back myself. I am passionate about helping myself." You embody these words of yours. I'd love to hear more about your journey towards helping yourself. It's not too often you get to hear someone be their own friend. Thank you so much for sharing your journey. You are truly beautiful, in every sense.❤️
Thanks lovely!! follow my instgram @misscarlijay as i talk a lot about this there, or the videos on my youtube, or also ive written a biography "half the size but twice the life" xx
She’s beautiful at all weights. She also has such a sweet personality.
thank you appreciate that x
I think that their should be more discussion and videos of anorexic people overcoming and making well for themselves , or as many as they do for weight loss, because both spectrums are bad and make it hard to get back to normal
I'm overweight and haven't ever needed to know how to gain weight 😅 but I have a friend who is the opposite and she has a horrible time trying to put weight on. It's definitely a subject that could use more coverage. I know she's tried doctors and herbs and smoothies and all kinds of things but she's just never hungry and if she forces it she gets sick... it's so completely different from my issue that its hard to understand but at the same time I would definitely recommend videos that discuss this if there were more of them.
Beautiful and exudes such a good energy! Someone I wish I could be friends with "in real life". How inspiring!
Aw thank you lovely! sending you so much love xx
She’s a beautiful person, literally throughout all the pictures. So proud of her!💕
thank you appreciate that x
No matter what people tell, their behavior to u changes as per ur looks.... People do judge the book by the cover as thats the only thing they see first
I’m so proud of her wooow🔥💯Life style changes is key to weight loss with both mental and physical health improvements. Now having lost 50kg/ 100lbs in 5 months I am starting to feel a lot more like myself. Still on my journey and happy about it. #weightlossjourney
Thank you !!!! :)
😍
Inspiring story. I hope it inspires some who insist on keeping themselves fat as much as possible to get attention.
I am moved by her inspiring journey to losing weight. I know your success story will motivate a lot of us to keep working hard towards our weight loss goals.
THANK YOU XX
This is such a heartwarming story! what I love is that she never talked down to herself or thought of herself as less for being heavier. I do it all the time so I can really learn from her. What a positive beautiful shining light of a person💞💞💞💞 she was beautiful before and she is beautiful now which I also need to learn about myself
this means a lot to me, thank you xx :)
I love her love for life!
aw thanks hun!! xx
What a lovely inspiring Aussie girl! Congratulations on your fantastic achievement regarding your weight loss and improved health!
She's got the prettiest smile before. She's still got the prettiest smile after. Hmm thanks for the inspiration tho. Your video was real genuine.
thank you really appreciate that xx
I love that she loved herself no matter what, especially enough to make a positive change for her health. Beautiful lady 🥰
thank you hunny, appreciate that xxx
@@MissCarliJay All the best to you sweetie 🥰
Congratulations on your weight loss. My life is very similar to yours. I have a treadmill but I don’t use it. You have inspired me to get back to walking on the treadmill. At 300 pounds somethings gotta change. God bless you.
Aw im so happy to hear that!! good on you hun!! xxx thank you!! I started on my exercise bike that i never used too! its the small steps that count x
Not me realizing I also feel numb in one side after sleeping. And I am fat 😭😭 thank God I’m already currently on a Weight loss journey pray for me LOL
Happy for you, do it do you xx :)
Sometimes all it takes is that personal motivation and baby steps. I just picked up an elliptical for free in my neighborhood and do 30 min a day. Next week going to 1 hour a day. Simple start.
exactly hun!! that's all it is xxx thank you
If she ain’t 280 she ain’t a lady 😉
ha ha thank you :) xx
She looks great
Bravissima.....👍
She reminds me of Anna Nicole Smith
Love these videos, and sometimes one thing can really change your perspective. So happy she decided to go back and skydive. Also, she is beautiful and love the pictures with her different outfit. Makes me really want to keep going with my journey.
thank you so so much hun xx
Good for her it is not easy to lose weight but persevered and did it way to go 💪
She’s also Genetically Lucky to have a skin that snaps back! If you notice stretch marks you have to realize you will not snap back the same as those who doesn’t have the stretch marks. Honest Truth. So its the control to never exceed what you consider the highest and no more!
Actually im not, but i studied skin science and did a lot to get my skin to go back. ive also written a biography and one of the chapters is about lose skin as i do have some and stretch marks too :) xx
@@MissCarliJay is your biography available on audible?

Qué maravillosa historia de vida, de superación y de un renacer!!! Felicitaciones Carli !!👏👐❤️
You look fantastic and obviously a major achievement, however you look a long way off being a size 10. It doesn't matter - as long as you're happy and healthy. Just don't understand why some people aren't honest about their size.
ha ha hun come check all the labels to my clothes - i am a UK size 10 here! If you follow me on instgram you know i don't lie or sugar coat anything xx much love to you
Amazing woman! Inspiring story and overall beautiful person inside and out

Loving transformation video so much, seeing these people happy
I remembered I wanted to hike a difficult mountain and the Team Lead told me that Ill slow down the team and just be a liability. It hurted me so much that it prompted me to work out and lose 15 kilos and when they saw me they wanted me back in the team
Well done you xx
Good 4 her! Now I wanna skydive.

@@samanthaarmes3153 You can be strong hunny, its all in the mindset, don't think of it as weightless, but rather as getting healthy and small daily steps to improve your overall wellbeing. I have written a biography about how i did this, which may help as its full of advice and tips about loving yourself and enjoying life. its called "half the size but twice the life" xxx
You are beautiful keep loving life and your self God Bless you and those you help
can't imagine eating up.to 280 lbs in the 1st place!!! yo yo not gd
It's an inspiration to me, because I'm plus-sized as well (although I am nowhere near the crazy numbers she had)!
She's beautiful, and you can tell that she gained alot of confidence. I'm still trying to lose weight, having auto immune issues makes it hard but I'll get there eventually. I hope she continues to thrive
Thank you lovely xxx give my book a read "half the size but twice the life" it could help with some tips and advice xx
America will be difficult. We have a completely different culture here. But your joy is contagious. Good luck! You're truly an inspiration.
Thats fine with me :) xx ive travelled 47 countries, embrace everywhere i go, and currently work in Australia, Uk and America already :) no where is impossible with the right mindset xxxx where ever people want help im ready to give it xxxx much love
@@MissCarliJay You have my dream life! Ever since I was a child, I've dreamt about traveling the world. I'm in the USA and have traveled some here. I'm nearly 40, obese and diabetic & suffer from depression. I fantasize about being healthy and traveling the world

That's amazing. Best people to help are they who have been there themselves, and a good motivation👍. I want to lose weight like 25 kilos, and have a better bmi i'm not obese but overweight, i thankfully have my whole life time to do it i'm 20 years this month🙂. It's hard to lose the weight and easy to gain it, and i love sugar, soda and chips
Yeah started at 28 hun, im now 35, think of it as living healthy and taking care of yourself. xxx
She is so inspirational and a happy person! I understand how she felt! Sedentary jobs do make us gain pounds! I've been exercising but will squeeze in more days! So proud of her and this is such a great story!

thanks hunny! and yep that's correct, i always loved myself, im not just a healthier smaller me xx much love to you
One big plus she had: She was always pretty and had a good posture.
Such an inspiration......literally crying while watching this......I’ve gained weight and ( as people say.....) oh you look good......NO I don’t feel good!
It’s only about 40 + pounds......I’m not happy. I really do not eat that much food .......lots of veggies and fruits.....very little meat......walk every where I go ( I don’t drive......)......not understanding how I cannot just drop this added weight!
thank you so much hun, really appreciate this. Ive written a biography "half the size but twice the life' give it a read as it could help change the mindset about losing wiehgt/getting healthy xxx
I'm not sure how long ago this piece was recorded but I would love a follow up in America. This story was amazing
HI lovely!!! it was only filmed 6 weeks ago, but my journey has been going since 2014, ive also written a biography about it and will be out in the US soon xxxx much loe
Beautiful soul! You'd look so stylish and polished with a short cut to suit your beautiful face

thank you xxxx
Good for you! 🙂
Awww 🥰 she is a beautiful women inside and out ! You’re a petty amazing person if you’re reading this !!! 💕
Aw thank you hun appreciate that message xxxx much love
Nice to see a healthy story from a healthy person for a change.
When you’re too big to do the things ya want to do, like skydiving or riding a rollercoaster at your favorite amusement park, that’s a sign that you need to rethink your day-to-day life choices, by asking yourself one simple brutally honest question…are you in charge of the problem, or is the problem in charge of you?
She asked that question and answered the question by deciding to be the master of her own world, on her terms, doing the things that define who she wants to be.
The outside beauty is there, frankly, it was always there, but the inner beauty is the real picture I see and that makes all the difference in this particular story.
thank you x
Nice sharing 👌👍
Very motivating. I want to be that high on life. She conquered her world!
Congrats not only did she loose weight she also learned to love her self correctly .Health cant be put aside for another day.
Thank you :) i loved myself big and small, never hated on myself, but i loved myself enough to get healthy :) x
