I love how determined and all-or-nothing you are! You said let’s talk about this and then you went and covered EVERYTHING so honestly and so directly and you always come across this way no matter the context! I love and admire this about you so much you really make me want to work on being like this myself!
I usually never comment, but this time I absolutely had to, because this video is amazing! So honest, personal and also respectful towards everyone watching. This is really empowering us all. Big thank you!
This video was EPIC the transparency on this was A1💯...Between cool sculpt, lymph drainage, etc. all the medi cosmetic procedures my friends & I have been wondering about you have covered and answered...now we have to see who's going first😉 Being in our forties, even with working out certain things just don't "set right"🫠 lmao🤣🤣🤣... Thanks Mel! your a doll 😘 💗 💕
You made me laugh with the “I only lost 4 pounds after giving birth” 🤣🤣🤣😭 I felt that haha. Thanks for being so vulnerable and sharing your secrets! Excited to try some of these. It’s crazy bc I’ve been following for a while now and I never really noticed these fluctuations in weight that you’re talking about. You’ve always looked steady to me??!!
Walking IS exercise. 10000+ steps a day counts sister 🖤 But I have found that as we age we also need resistance training for bone and joint health😎 Quite frankly I only started resistance training in my 50’s and it has been a real game changer for me. I’m more confident in my body than I’ve ever been.
I love your honesty and straightforwardness in sharing your story. While everyone’s situation is different, it is helpful to hear that you worked hard to look so good and what your journey was like. There is no shame in wanting to look good. Im a big fan and supporter!
I REALLY appreciate your full transparency on what treatments you've done to your face and body. Because of your honesty, I'm actually checking into some of the treatments mentioned. Thanks Melissa! With or without, you're still beautiful on the inside and out.
I am an old suby of yours and I have seen you in all your stages of growth. You are so genuine and I appreciate this about you. I truly hope that you make it to 100k, you deserve it Mel! You look great, best wishes for you and Luca for 2023!🤗🤗
Thank you Mel for being so open and honest in this video. You are a true inspiration! I’ve been following you on social media for quite sometime and I learned a lot from you. I really hope we can meet in real life one day 😊 Much love to you and to Luca ❤
Im an OG follower and Mel you just looked amazing and you look amazing now too great new touch ups i will be considering ❤ always loved your chanel for the realness and on everything you review and bought so many bags of your advice even jumped on the vintage dior horse sadle with Persian babe and you waaay before dior has released the new versions... all the through the years LOVE you keep it REAL ❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏
This is the ultimate inspiration i needed to truly commit myself to my weight loss journey. I have followed you for at least 5 years now. Love youu!! Abrazos desde Panamá 🇵🇦
What a breath of fresh air. Love you sharing. I actually get upset when people deny any kind of treatments. I appreciate honesty and sharing cause Lord knows we all need ideas in beauty secrets 😊
Thank you so much for your honesty.❤️👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 It’s so refreshing for a woman to admit to everything she has had done. So many celebrities will lie and never admit to surgeries, treatments, etc. when it’s so obvious. There’s no shame in wanting to take care of yourself and enhancing or fixing things about yourself you are not happy with. As I’m approaching 60 there are many things I could have done but for the most part I’m okay with how I’m aging. I have an autoimmune disease so I tend to be a bit wary of treatments as I don’t know how I would respond. I definitely am planning on getting a few procedures done this year and am on a weight loss journey as well. I gained weight during Covid as well but most of it was from a medication I was on. I thank you again for being so authentic. Also a big happy new year to you and Luca.❤️🙏
Loveeeed this video! Thank you so much, because literally no one ( good looking)talk about these things.. I really appreciate your openness and I’m a fan now.. stay happy and blessed always 😘😘😘
Wow! This is amazing!! I had never heard of so many of these procedures and I'm in awe :) I'm all for doing any treatments you want and can afford. I'd love to be able to do some of these things. Non-invasive procedures are right up my alley! As far as eating, I can understand what you're saying about portion size. Our daughter is 5'2 and eats like a bird too. She's very petite and slim (probably 115-120 lbs) and is the same size she was 10 years ago in high school. But, it is enough for her. She's actually eating for her size, and I should probably be eating what she eats .. even though I'm 5'10. LOL Thanks so much for sharing!
Hey 👋🏾, I just watched your first video(s) - handbag collections - 10 years ago 😊 I like to sometimes check out my subbies first vids - because it’s interesting to see the initial process. Do you ever rewatch your early vids ❓ Do u still have some of those handbags?
Do you have any concerns about the impacts of all these ab treatments through machines over time on your body? In my head I’m still not convinced if it’s good to do these frequently even though now it’s the norm
you look absolutely beautiful, I love how you worded it is people should do what they want and if they don't that is fine and if they do that is also fine. I jut hit my mid 50's was considering some filler in cheeks, also I have lost 30 pds noticing it on my face. love this video i just subscribed.
Thanku for being so honest I have put on 10 kg in ten months it's upsetting as I lost it and put it on again, you are beautiful but it's nice to know what you do to look like that
I have no issues with treatments. I am not a fan of fillers. The goal is to look like you haven't done anything so I find fillers make women look clownish as they do not know when to stop (general statement). As for cool sculpting and other body procedures, for the amount of money you spent on those you could have hired a trainer. I know you mentioned you don't work out, but part of moving your body is ensuring that you stay healthy, especially if you are an emotional eater. Working out also improves your mental health. At least your walking, yet it seems like a lot of money spent for quick solutions that require a life-long financial commitment.
I agree with you regarding trainer but tbh, I don't have time to commit to one. I am a single mom and work full time. I don't want to give up time with Luca to workout and I don't know anyone who would come babysit at 5am so I can workout with a trainer. My goal is to make the time as she gets a little older, but at the moment I don't see how I can squeeze in the commitment on a regular basis between mom life and work.
I enjoy your videos, so this isn’t an insult, but the time that you spend getting all these procedures done would probably be the same amount of time that you would spend working out, no? I appreciate the honesty though.
@@tannazdolatshahi5142 I’m a mom of a young child and I have a full time job, and yes I workout from home 3 times a week , without a trainer, I’m 45 and in the best shape of my life without using any procedures 😉
@@misscutypie23 good for you! That’s really amazing and well done :) Not everyone has that will power or time. Be kind and don’t judge another mother for doing things differently to you. Mel could lie and make a lot of women feel crap about their bodies and themselves by saying she’s this super women that trains a million times a day but she isn’t.
Why don't you try yoga all you need is an app and minimum of 30 min at least 3 times a week.you can do it at your home you don't even need a baby sitter. it tones and shapes the body and mind.there are many apps.I use down dog and it's great .
Thanks for being so open! Nothing wrong with taking car eof yourself and trying to stay looking youthful. I can't wait until I'm working again (currently staying home with my kids) to get my lips done and some Botox haha
Je te suis depuis avant ta grossesse et je dois dire que tu étais absolumemnt magnifique! Je n'aurais jamais deviné que tu pesais 185 lbs! (P.-S. J'adore ce genre de vidéos : ))
Not snacking…that’s absolutely the only way I can loose weight! If I can get myself on the OMAD train my body will actually loose the weight. When I weigh myself every morning I stay on track. I stopped weighing myself and allowed myself snacks for the holidays. I gained 6lbs, and I’m struggling to drop it. I also found that if I crave something I can just get past it. I’m all or nothing with desserts. I can’t have one bite of a rice crispy…no I have to eat the whole cake pan in one day. I literally check out and cram my face non stop until something is gone. 😬🤦♀️ And yes I did in fact eat a whole cake pan of rice crispy treats after Christmas. They’re my weakness because they’re my favorite. And they don’t make me feel sick until I’ve ate the whole pan. So they are very dangerous for me to get started on. I’ve only made them once myself for that reason. 😬😬😬
Merci d’avoir répondu à ma question 🥰 tu es une vraie inspiration j’ai 20 livres à perdre pour mon mariage de juin déjà 5 de fait je peux vraiment relate disons 💕
It’s normal to gain 60-70 pounds when you get pregnant if you are very small/thin. Most moms do when you are smaller than 120 but don’t talk about it. It also takes at least 9 months to a year to really lose the weight. We as women and mothers are too harsh on ourselves. You probably have diastasis recti unresolved. Megan Moon just posted a great video on this issue and what she did to heal as a former bikini model and mother to twins.
LOVED this video!!! You look AMAZING babe. loool you sound like me I don't do drugs or anything so let me be 🤣🤣. That's great that @ least you caught it & acted. It's SO hard when we're older to lose weight!! Gurrrl my family thinks I'm crazy cuz I weigh myself everyday, but IDC I have to!! It's so easy to stay on track when you weigh yourself everyday, if you gain a lb or 2 you handle that shit right away. Lmaooo my family says I eat like a bird SO funny 🤣🤣 TFS Melissa🥰
I love skin treatments!!! I miss my chemical peels but I will try Morpheus after breastfeeding. I use biologique to maintain. We have similar body types plus the same height and my body has changed so much after 27 lol. I lost weight pregnant and gained it back after especially in the breast/ back area. I might try noom because I feel amazing post whole 30, realizing that gluten isn’t my friend. I hope to post bikini pics this summer! Do you feel like excess weight impacts your joints as a petite person? Thank you so much for sharing this information, stay blessed!
Love your motivation! I don't feel joint pain but I do get sore backs since my boobs get out of control when I gain weight. Sore shoulders and back is my main concern...
I just realized the reason I can't lose weight is because of Starbucks! My order ~ Venti White Chocolate mocha with almond milk. Duh! I need to stop, thanks 😊
Thanks for your candour. Do you plan on getting a reduction? I know you had mentioned that in the past. I really want a reduction, I’m a GG and they need to go lol
If I wasn’t a single mom I would do it in a heartbeat. Tbh I’m terrified something would happen to me; leaving Luca for a vanity procedure. I know I’m being extra but it legit scares me
I’m here for the treatments. I get micro needling once a month. Diamond glow facial monthly. I only use my Dr ZO products on my face. I’m working to lose weight and I have lost 12 lbs in 5 weeks. And I’m getting plastic surgery in July. I get lip filler twice a year and I’m going to get some filler in my smile lines a bit next time.
I love how determined and all-or-nothing you are! You said let’s talk about this and then you went and covered EVERYTHING so honestly and so directly and you always come across this way no matter the context! I love and admire this about you so much you really make me want to work on being like this myself!

Hi. Melissa, I’m also on WW and also noticed that it hasn’t been working for me. How is Noom different from WW.?
Great video. I love the longer video. What has happened to your handbag collection video? Can u edit out Balenciaga or re'shoot it please 😁💕👜👜👜

But does the emsculpt edge build out your flanks? I don’t want bigger muscles there
I think you mean hydrofacial no microdermabrassion
Your smile is beautiful

Am I the only one that doesnt understand what she means with “newm” ?
Lol ‘noom’
I think botox is just an more expensive form of make up, you only have to do once instead of spending 20 more min each day
