“Do great days & let the days start to stack and all of the sudden your results you want are just waiting for you”
I wrote this one on my fridge and it is simple but true! LOVE ❤️ IT!
Hello Carla and Gerard! I am 104 pounds down, and I will be joining you again this cycle to hopefully reach “great”. Thank you for all of the knowledge you share! Sending love to you both. 💜💜💜
Well done!!❤
Unreal! Absolutely amazing xx
Congratulations!
Fantastic ✊🏼
I'm SO glad I came across your channel last year. In September 2023 I happened to come across one of your videos & it literally changed my life. I've lost 60 pounds so far and I couldn't be happier. I still have 48 pounds to my D2D goal, but still going strong, letting the days stack up... Best of all, I've returned to running, something I loved before I gained all the weight. So thank you for the ongoing inspiration, tips & motivation.
🖤🖤🖤🖤
dealing with infertility due to pcos was my challenge. felt the need for a consistent approach to wellness. watched Carla and Jared discuss weight loss and maintenance. Aspect Health guided me in understanding the importance of consistency. not advertising, just sharing. consistency is key in any health journey. find what works for you and show up for yourself daily.
Wonderful to see Gerard. I’m starting my third round this month. 42 pounds down. I learned about this wonderful program from you Carla. Thank you
Consistency is key. That statement will remain the same no matter what we do. I love this video. Thanks for sharing. 💜💜💜
This was brilliant! Especially the point about getting your dopamine fix from food and “every meal doesn’t have to be delicious”
💜💜💜. Thank you Carla and Gerard! Great content-- the balance of weight maintenance and loss😮....wowza; food as fuel not a dopamine hit😮. 😅
OH MY GOODNESS! This has by far been the best vlog/video/podcast I have EVER listened to regarding weight loss. It was the best 22 minutes of the rest of my life! I took notes to re-read daily. Thank you Gerard and Carla for taking the time to share such quality information! I know it will be a journey, I am a sugar addict with 75lbs to lose, but with consistency and “self parenting”, I will find new enjoyments in life other than food and reach my goal of living a healthy new life!❤️💜❤️💜❤️💜
Thank you so much, that means the absolute world to me xx
💜💜💜Two of the people on my 5 minutes of gratitude list! Where would I be if I hadn't found Carla and then Gerard? I shudder to think! You are changing people's lives for the better! It's great seeing you together, flushing out the concepts even more. I needed this. I'm looking forward to round 3! We go again! We go harder! 💪
Great to hear this. I was just thinking about the point that weight loss is a specific intervention for a certain amount of time this morning when looking at my calorie counting app offering "lifetime access". I don't want to be trying to lose weight my whole life! 💜💜💜
🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
That’s the moment you realise they don’t want you to succeed!
The "using food as a drug" really struck a cord with me. I'm able to change my habits all month except the week of my period. I'm finding ways to satisfy my food cravings with healthier options or smaller potions. But I still feel like my hormones are running the show. But I'm losing weight so I must be doing something right. 💜💜💜
This is brilliant. Listen up everyone 💜💜💜
Interesting video, thank you Carla! The point that not every meal has to be delicious is definitely difficult for me to internalize as someone who loves to cook. However I notice that when I'm having really strong cravings, it's not for the food I make and eat at home but rather for salty/sugary processed snacks or restaurants. Being able to make food that tastes good and is good fuel is definitely a good thing in my opinion.
Oh for sure, tasty food will make it more enjoyable, but it doesn’t have to be the be all and end off of why we eat 🖤
💜💜💜 I'm not someone who has done BodySlims but from listening to the chats you have with Gerard, the methodology behind the program is sound and tracks with the way I approached weight loss myself. (And Gerard is such a charmer, he could probably talk me into anything, so if I needed a guided weight-loss program, he'd have me signing up in a heartbeat!)
💜💜💜 thank you!! This is exactly what I needed post-holidays! 35 more lbs to go! 💃🏼 I’ve been flying through all of your videos-I can’t even tell you how helpful you’ve been to me!! 🫶🏻
💜💜💜 Jared is so fun! Food is fuel but somehow it changed into something more.
Great video! And perfect timing right after the holidays! ❤
This is fantastic! Thank you! ❤
💜💜💜thank you Carla & Jarod!! I really appreciate this advice and will share with friends. Looking forward to part 2!
The theories that he is talking about really are brilliant! Thank you both!
Brillant, Carla. Those are the real important topics when it comes to weight loss. Great video, do look forward to part 2. Thank you.
Excellent video!
💜💜💜 I am so glad I found this as I am waiting to start on my first BodySlims cycle on Wednesday next week and needed a bit of a pep talk - Thank you both so much for this - Can't wait xx
You are so right! Learning to be consistent in your program has been a game changer for my weight loss journey. Thank you!! Can’t wait till next Wednesday 🎉
Thank you, Carla.This is a really great post. Really appreciate Gerard's realistic approach and your own solutions to your weight-loss challenges.
Thank you both for sharing. So excited for Jan 17.
💜💜💜 thank you both , loved seeing this,, I'm about to start round 2 with Bodyslims, so excited xx
💜💜💜 Thank you Carla and Ger, this video was a much needed reminder that Bodyslims is program of mental fitness. Holidays (Halloween thru New Years) are hard for me and listening to the video forced me to be honest with how much I have been self medicating with food during the break. I know that as I practice Ger's teachings, I will be much more resilient when the holidays come around again. If it hadn't been for your channel, I would never have found Bodyslims which has been a bright light in healing my relationship with food, and more importantly with healing my relationship with myself. Learning how to consistently show up for myself has been the most important lesson of all.
Thank you so much Carla and Ger. great video. Looking forward to Part 2 and the next BodySlims programme starting in 17th Jan. 💜💜💜
How cool! Gerard mentioned Brown University in Providence Rhode Island while I'm watching this from Providence RI !! 😊
Love thier motivation ❤❤❤❤
💜💜💜Love you both so much. I could listen to you talk all day. So much wisdom and common sense to share. Good luck with the start of the new course! xoxo
I am beginning my journey today. Your videos are so inspirational and offer insight that I’ve never had before! This video in particular is phenomenal. Thank you so much!
Thank you Carla! I don’t know if I will join the program but you are always an inspiration 💜💜💜
Great video Carla 💜💜💜
Happy New Year Carla and Gerard! This was very helpful especially the end of this video! Please stay and watch until the end! See you soon! ❤️❤️❤️💜💜💜
Carla, you've described me to a tee. One of my trigger foods is Bugles chips. I started therapy just after Christmas. You've opened my eyes to so many things through your vulnerability. Thank you. You've been the catalyst for so much positive change in so many lives.
💜💜💜”It’s actually just about doing great days and letting the days start to stack.” That’s a common sense yet also mind shifting perspective. So many good thoughts shared in this video. Thank you! 😊
great discussion
love this video! atm, I'm doing meditation and reading a good book to change my state of mind. I only take a walk 2x a week, so that I definitely need to improve as well.
Always helpful 💜💜💜
💜💜💜 That was fantastic and so eye opening.
💜💜💜 I’m back next week for round 2 of BodySlims and can’t wait! 34 lbs down in my first round. Thanks for the great video 😁💜
Loved this video so much!!!!!
This was so insightful, thank you!
Wow this was great. So many gems. Thanks so much.
Let the days stack up.
Just started the 17th on Body Slims. I made the leap because I relate to what you said about weight loss and what you accomplished. Thank you💜💜💜
💜💜💜Excellent! Thank you!
💜💜💜 I’ve been watching you for a year and your struggles have helped me so much. Down 50lbs, 100 to go. Thank you for being brave enough to share!
Amazing xx
This was amazing...honestly the best explanation of how addiction of any kind works .. I am just starting my weight loss journey again..and this video has woken me up to the secret of getting what I want from this journey... thankyou both 💜💜💜xx
Great ideas to ponder , thank you👍
💜💜💜 Thank you ❤
Great video, it made quite an impression. Great Guest! Great host!
💜 💜 💜
it's really great to see gerard on here! i first learned of bodyslims from this channel last year, and finally signed up to be on the current january bodyslims program.
i've lost more than 10% of my body weight since the start of the program, and have signed up for the april one.
i'm so so glad to have found bodyslims through you, carla. i have set a new dare to dream goal, and while i still have a way to go until then, i'm feeling brilliant to be where i've gotten to now.
Thanks so amazing!!! 10% already!! Good for you xx
💜💜💜 excellent interview, thank you both so much. I learned a lot.
💜💜💜 SO great!!
💜💜💜Thank you!
Terrific discussion!
💜💜💜thank you both!
💜 💜 💜 love you both! Awesome video and Ger is dropping nuggets left and right, so don’t let his jokes fool you - he has a lot of brain to pick!
💜💜💜 fantastic video, thank you Carla and Gerard!
This is my first New Year EVER that I’m excited about continuing and not Re-starting my journey yet again. I’m looking forward to my third cycle with BodySlims and the progress I will make in the upcoming months!
Have a fabulous New Year everyone and I wish you all well! Laura 💜💜💜
Ohhh Laura I love that for you!! 🙌🏼
Thank you! 💜💜💜
Great conversation
💜💜💜 Great video. Thank you!
💜💜💜 Great video thanks. Can't wait to start my second cycle next Wednesday 🥰
Made so much sense if you can’t cut back cut it out. Sweets are my issue I have tried the three bite rule one cookie etc hasn’t worked I like what Carla said about the chips it takes time to control those triggers.
Wow Love this❤learned alot. Carla you are beautiful!
💜 💜 💜 excellent tips. I have long been convinced that sugar is an addiction. It stems from my alcoholic parents and I’ve struggled with it all my life.
What a brilliant video
I’ve been overweight all my life .
Yes, what you said maintaining weight after you’ve reached your comfortable weight . So I started walking at our towns leisure complex.l they have a track . Congratulations to you .
I’ve just put 14lbs of hard won weight loss back on so this was just what I needed to hear.
Don't mind me, just low-key fangirling over Gerard!
I often tell myself this: If I am really hungry I will eat a tin of sardines. (I love these little fishy things, but I don't crave them.) Really, I eat them if there is nothing else and I'm starving. So anyway, if I don't want to open a tin of sardines, then I am not really hungry.
❤
Dear Carla & Jared, can you please address the following question in your next conversation? I once had a coach who told me that I should see food only as fuel. I told her that that was like seeing sex only as procreation. I agree that not every meal in a busy life is going to be tasty but food is one of the great pleasures of life, even if you aren’t using it as a dopamine hit to numb or eat your feelings, etc. I think that maintenance on a bland regime of food is not sustainable. Eventually I would want to try something new, break out of the routine of eating mostly the same thing or just want to live a life where I really enjoy what I’m eating. Could you please interview someone who has maintained a healthy diet by eating a variety of healthy food that they enjoy?
(For me, sharing that you eat basically the same thing every day is as unattainable for lifelong weight maintenance as it is to say you drink a diet smoothy ever day, etc. You get what I’m saying?)
❤❤❤
Is the walking still effective even if I really struggle to get my heart rate up into the fat burning zone? I’m already walking pretty fast and don’t want to have to jog.
Absolutely xx
Hi Carla- I thought you might be intersted in reading this memoir. She seems to have a history similar to yours. It is called "it Was Me All Along" by Andie Mitchell. I'd love to read your memoir someday ❤
Oh I will have a look thank you xx
❤
🖤🖤🖤
💜💜💜
💜 💜 💜
Is it okay if I walk on a treadmill! I don’t feel safe walking by myself where I live and I can’t always get someone to walk with me
Absolutely xx
How did you realise your food addiction had ended
