Thank you so, so much for watching everyone, I really really appreciate it.. Lots of love, Emma xxx
Your video from a year ago was THE ONE for inspiring me to start my own fitness journey. I’ve now lost 36 pounds since last March💪🏻
Wooow! Thats amazing, well done :)
Wow ! good for you...
Sorry to be off topic but does anyone know of a way to log back into an instagram account?
I was stupid lost my password. I would appreciate any tips you can give me!
Dearest Emma, I found your channel through a makeup video when you were still living with your dad. I fell in love with how you chose to dress your mid- to plus-size body (as a plus-sized woman myself). I stuck around for the home reno videos and ended up falling completely in love with you and your vibe. But I need you to hear this, Emma... THANK YOU for making this channel a safe space where you aren’t shaming anyone’s body. Where you enforce doing things that make you FEEL better rather than focusing on the numbers or beating yourself up over missing a goal. I appreciate you so so much ❤️
I would love to second this comment!, I started watching Emma because I loved all the plus size fashion stuff. When the “plus size” bit went away I expected to lose interest in this channel but if anything I love it more. Emma is so kind and as you say, she never encourages you to focus on numbers but always says to do what makes you feel better. This makes me (a plus size girl) feel so much more comfortable in my body and a bit less like a failure this year💕💕
The best thing I've heard in a while: "We don't have to thrive in 2021, just survive." AMEN SISTER (>.
I’m such a huge snacker 😅 I’d love to see the alternative snacks video and go to protein powders 💃🏽! What a lovely video 🤍🌻!
It’s mad, a year ago today when I started my fitness journey I found your one year fitness video and it inspired me so much. One year later and I’m 3 stone down and love fitness. Thank you for being you!
I just want you to know that you are just the most inspiring person i have ever followed Emma❤️ i have followed you for so so long, and seeing that you have become more and more happy over the years is sooo good! I had a stroke in 2017, and watching your videos has helped me sooooooo much!
Thank you so much for this video! I am 14 months into my fitness journey and found your "one year" video so inspirational in the early days. And I think that this video will be very helpful to me in my second year as I settle into living my new, healthier lifestyle, and get comfortable with eating more calories at maintenance. Thank you for sharing your journey and experiences!
since last january i lost 4 stone and a half with a combo of eating healthy and exercise! you have inspired me so much😍❤
That's an incredible achievement!!
@@honeybeebumbleful thank you so much angel, my scales have been rubbish recently so i borrowed my friends which work, i've gone from 15st 3lbs to 10st 7lbs xxx
Whoop! This is fab. I also need to do exactly this.. Struggling to keep up with the healthy eating, (suffer with depression and anxiety and insomnia, so motivation is hard to come by a lot of the time.) I lost 8lb in the first 6 weeks of the year but then I got ill mid-feb and it's all gone to shit. Trying to get back on it as I'd love to be under 14st by Easter, but just really finding it really hard to get going..
@@leubell8341 you just have to focus on your goal and make it realistic for you. Don't pressure or stress yourself out. Love on yourself and see every movement on scale or the touch of your body as progress and a way to learn. Slow and steady is better than fast and putting it all back on! I'm here for you, just message me if you ever want more encouragement xx
You’ve got such a positive mindset towards fitness and food. I’m in the first year of my own fitness journey and I found this so inspiring - thank you 🙏
I love this video and your view on your body it's so inspiring. In 2017 I lost 10 kg and I was soo happy and my goal was always to maintain this because I thought I was so much prettier because I was so lean, and now in 2020 i regained those 10 kg, a lot of my clothes don't fit anymore and I can't exercise the way i used to. I love to dance and i was dancing 3 times a week in the past 2-3 years, I also went running a lot and i took the bike to go anywhere, so i could eat a lot but maintain my body and now i regained those kilos and it's soo difficult to change my mindset. I know that exercising makes me happier and more efficient for uni and everything but its just really hard. I just want to tell everyone that you are great how you look as long as you feel confident and making yourself happy is not a thing that happens in a day, it's a journey and i love you so much emma for spreading so much positivity and awareness.
This is absolutely perfect. I can’t put into words how comforting and inspiring this video is! ❤️
hi, I just watched your first video, followed by this one. You are one of the first people I've seen who talks about food in a way that makes sense to me, and have spoken about things like respecting yourself and the body you have rather than flashy diets work out and diet plans. These videos have inspired me a lot, and I've learned some tips on how to set goals and work on myself in the right way. I'm starting my journey today and I really appreciate these a lot. Thank you and thank you for making it clear that its okay to make mistakes and to learn from them.
Loved the first video but love this so much more. The first video actually inspired me to start my weight loss in 2020. 20 pounds down at the end of the year I kind of lost motivation. This is exactly what I needed to hear. It’s okay to plateau and it’s okay to change focus from weight loss to muscle gain!
I just watched your prior video of your weight loss journey and fell in love with you and subscribed. I lost 30lbs in 6 weeks on keto and quit and you have me the inspiration to try again. Thank you
That first video is how I found you and I’ve been watching ever since. Being on my own fitness and health journey I found it so helpful and inspiring!
As a Clinical Nutritionist, your story is truly inspirational. Thank you for sharing :)
I haven’t read through the comments, but has anybody ever told you that you are a perfect blend of Kate Winslet and Kylie Jenner? You seem like such a beautiful person! Much love to you 🖤🖤
Omg! Yes!! I was trying to figure out why she looks so familiar. Definitely Kate Winslet vibes! She just gorgeous inside and out ❤️❤️❤️
I have just finished a bulk phase and I started it for the same reasons you speak about and it really has changed my approach to life and fitness so much. Eating 3,000+cals and not seeing that much of a change on the scale really helped me appreciate how eating lots of food is not a negative thing and we don't need to punish ourselves if we eat 'badly' one day. I am so excited for you! Can't wait for the next update and how your booty gains are going!
Did you end up making a video about you fav crisps, snacks, etc ?! I'm a huge snack lover so girl trust me, me and all the others are not wanting to miss out. Much love and so very proud of you on how disciplined and consistent you been on personal goals girl 🤍🤍🤍
Is it just me or you in this video and Kate Winslet look so alike :) I just found your channel through your first weight loss video and I'm so grateful to the algorithm. I started "my fitness journey" just a few weeks ago but this time something changed in my mind, I'm finally doing this for my health and not the looks. Thank you so much for speaking up about how important it is to maintain a heathy head space, not only running to the moon to fit into old pair of jeans. Super real, super healthy. I'm staying here :)
The red and pink looks beautiful on you! I've gotten into yoga this lockdown and it's made me feel great!!
You have been my inspiration the last year, I started calorie counting and doing home workouts in lockdown one and I’m still going, 2.5stone down. Not only have I lost weight I have gained a better mental health, the endorphins are amazing at the end of a workout and they’ve honestly got me through the last year!
Love this channel, love the honesty. For some reason, there is something about Emma that reminds me so strongly of a young Kate Winslet
I'm going on three years enjoying fitness, I started by doing crossfit now I go to a functional fitness gym that involves lots of weightlifting which is something I absolutely love and I'm so glad I decided to start, found your videos in the first lockdown love your weekly vlogs 😁
Funny as it is I watched your first video last year and now one year later RUclips is showing me this one. I started my lifestyle change last December and I am just so confident with my body. I love what I am able to do know. Looks are great too, but movement is so much better
I appreciate how you share yours journey with us. I’m at a point I have to make some changes for my health so I find these videos so helpful. Thank you!!!
Waw it hit me so hard when you’re talking about body dysmorphia. I have the same, but I used to be 18 stone and I lost 7stone in a year (in a way that was both mentally and physically healthy) after that I gained a load of muscle and I’m now an athlete in my sport but some days I look in the mirror and I still see me at 18 stone. Other days I look weak and thin and small. Other days I look entirely different. I had body dysmorphia before the weightloss but with the added rapid shift in my body it’s become so much harder.
Totally relate measuring health and fitness on strength and how you feel. That’s exactly what we do in CrossFit. I still think you should try it 😁
I have body dysmorphia and it prevents me building muscle, lose weight and lose fat!!
Please make a video about this with the current adaptions due to the pandemic!
Videos to maintain my bmr!! So I can eat more coz this is so important when you love food and you want to lose weight!!
As if it's a year 😳 you have just got stronger 💚
The part about your weight shocked me purely because I am the same weight as you and I’m 5ft 3in but I’m overweight...compared to you looking toned and lean...so just goes to show it’s not about the number on the scale, it’s amazing how losing fat and replacing that with muscle can just change your body completely 🤯
I love your attitude to looking after your body Emma. I watched your first video as a size 20, on a treadmill in my apartment Gym. This video I watch as a healthy size 12 having lost 80lbs since. I cant tell you how many times I watched the first video in between. It motivated me SO much to keep going. I did you leg day video during Lockdown 1 SO much🤣 I know its not for everyone but losing the weight and changing my lifestyle has been the most amazing thing for my mental health. I have never been happier and its allowed the pandemic to essentially, unphase me. I haven’t felt as low as I know I would have. Having a focus is so important! Thanks so much for sharing your journey x
I’m nearly a year into my own fitness journey and I think the most important thing I have learnt so far is that the aesthetic goals may be great, but the way fitness makes me feel is completely unparalleled. If anyone is struggling for motivation I always try to remind myself before every workout of how amazing it feels to complete a workout. Focus on the things that make you feel good ❤️ I always have a little dance around my flat after a workout and it burns calories (yes) but mainly it makes me feel SO happy! Thank you Emma for this video, I have loved following your journey and I’m excited to see you flourish this coming year ❤️
You’ve smashed it Em!!🌟
Can only dream of having a mindset like this
Your first fitness journey video pushed me to go on my own when it came up in my recommendations! I’ve gained so much knowledge and strength along the way. Thank you, thank you 💕
I’ve been so excited for this video! 🙋🏽🥳 I love how balanced you are when it comes to health and fitness! As you said it’s a lifestyle! You’re definitely an inspiration to me! 🙏🏽☺️💖✨
What an absolute inspiration.. you’re so much stronger physically but also mentally!! To anyone else reading this, I hope you are okay and having a nice week? If you need a chat in these weird times, my dms are always open!! Stay safe and remember to keep smiling, lots of love a small time RUclipsr trying to spread positivity❤️❤️
Hi Emma! I was in the same boat as you , over training with HIIT, 9 months of calorie deficit && finally after realizing I had exhausted my own knowledge and needed more help with my nutrition... I hired a coach ❤️❤️ I’ve been with her for 3 weeks now & your video just solidified my choice in hiring her!! You are a damn queen & I love all of you content !!
Cheers to living a quality of life , cheers to strong a** women , cheers to MORE CALORIES 🎊🥂💖
So proud of you Emma! Your outlook on health and fitness is really relatable and refreshing. Big inspiration to me. Thank you xxxx
I’ve followed your journey for years now and find you so honest and relatable. Your transformation is amazing and so inspiring. I previously lost 5st but having just had a baby am now struggling to get back to that with lockdown your video reassured me that that’s ok right now so thank you 🥰👏🏼 xx
The first video I saw from you was your 1 year video, and It was the video that motivated me to start! I am now 33lbs/15kg down thanks to you! Xx
Even just watching this video is a huge boost in motivation! I love the way you word everything and you actually make things seem possible. I’ve loved your videos for many years already, but the amount of positivity you radiate is just the best 🌼 thank you for this update video Emma 🥰
You've done amazing 😊 such a positive, balanced, inspiring approach to life that seems like you never go without which is great and so refreshing! Also, despite being slightly heavier in the second picture i definitely thought you did actually look more toned in it. Would love to see the alternative snack video! I have a massive sweet tooth and snacking is my favourite downfall. I can eat nutritious and delicous meals every day but nearly always end up rounding it off with lots of chocolate or biscuits and sometimes crisps 😩.
I’m so excited for this video 😍 been here since 60k and it’s amazing to watch you grow ❤️
Ahhh thank you so much for sticking around for so long! xxx
Yes I need a healthy snacks idea video!!
loved hearing about your journey! just wanted to say you looked a lot like Hilary Duff in this video lol and that's a complement!
ugh, you're so cool! just found your channel
Yes girl I started my weight release journey February 2020 it has now been 1 year throughout lockdown :) started at 222 pounds I am down -67 pounds now working on toning up. Motivation is fleeting self discipline will get you through mindset is key. Allow god to alter your mindset 🙏 🙌 💯 weight loss is deeply spiritual & emotional you have to work on the root course. Roll on April when the gyms open again I can step up on my body goals!
This is amazing!!! Well done!! :)
@@aimephillips952 Thank you Aime 😊 I finally found what works for me. Eating in a calorie deficit has been key on my journey & altering and adjusting calories as I go along. My fitness pal really helped to get my numbers straight we then made a spreadsheet.
Here are 10 tips that have helped me;
1. Have old photos around you which show you at your ideal weight look at them daily.
2. Get yourself a Fitbit or another watch that keeps track of your weight in an app and a place where you can record all the food you eat daily. Counting my calorie has been key. It may sound tedious but this is a step that had helped me greatly.
3. Get into a calorie deficit also. You can eat the food that you want just as a small portion or work it into your calories.
4. Work out your weight and how much you want to release. You can use my Fitness Pal which tells you how many calories you should be eating to reach your goal.
5. It is 80% of what you eat and 20% exercise. You can train all you like if you eat crap you wont release weight.
6. Celebrate small milestones along the journey.
7. Watch videos on youtube of those on a weight release journey to stay focused.
8. At a time like this eat foods that will build up your immune system you only have one body look after it.
9. Keep a record of your journey document your weight release from start to finish. Take photos as well sometimes you see the difference within photos then on the scale.
10.Keep on going you have got this take it one day at a time to avoid becoming overwhelmed.
A dedicated Q and A would be awesome! As well as the alternative snack video you mentioned☺️☺️
My mom and I have been doing the NHS One You calorie counting app tracker and have found it so helpful. It's fab when you get to the end of the 12 week plan because they recommend stopping for a week before restarting the tracker again. I find it difficult at times because I've lost weight before (the wrong way).
I can't tell you how much I needed to hear this today. Thank you!
Just catching up on the videos and vlogs. Emma can I just say, you’re a gorgeous young woman inside and out. I look forward to your videos every week. Btw I’m 50 and double your age but I still look up to you so much. Keep up the amazing work xxxx
your doing great girl congratulations i’m so proud of you 💕💕
Thank you so much!! xxx
Just watched your first video and now watching this one you are glowing ! Inspiration 😘
Ahh thank you so much!! xxx
Saved watching this video till Sunday .. for my treadmill walk session
You are such an inspiration Emma, I can't even explain to you how much positivity you bring to my life, when it comes to fitness and every other type of video. Been watching you for 3-4 years now and I am so excited to see you grow even more. So damn proud of you!
What a helpful and inspiring video. Keep it up!
This was so refreshing to hear! I've really struggled this past year with my weight, I've been working throughout lockdown luckily but I also just had no desire to exercise because I was putting so much energy into working and getting through each day. But then you look at social media and its full of people who are like 'i'm the fittest and thinnest I've ever been' and it sucks sometimes I cant seem to find a balance that works yet :(
Thank you for sharing!
Beyond proud of you♥️♥️♥️ Get us back in that gym to grow even more & of course more food😋😍
Its SO crazy to me that I've been following you for a year now since that first health journey update!! I was starting my own journey at this time last year and when I saw your vid I loved your attitude instantly and I surely don't regret subscribing! I relate to you so much and you're so fun to watch 😊 lots of love and congrats on 2 years 🥳🥳❤️
I started following you shortly after your first video about your fitness journey, so to see this and see your consistency in your messaging makes me happy. Thank you for being true to yourself.
So much love for you beautiful xxx
What an amazing progress you've made - with your fitness and your mindset! Thank you for sharing these things and for inspiring others to listen to how they feel! ✨✨
So proud. I found you from your last fitness journey video and have watched every video since. ❤
Emma you really are one inspiring human
SO excited to hear you say you’re starting pole dancing! It’s the best thing I ever did, you will love it! Both for my strength and my mental health, excited to see you start and to see your progress ❤️🖤
I also want to say you’ve inspired me so much, your approach is so amazing and healthy, it’s definitely helped me reset myself
I have actually got the same story! I haven’t really gotten very far with my goals, but have definitely maintained them! Last year I lost 7 kg. And this past lockdown year I’ve lost 1.5 kg. Not what I imagined, but I have been able to keep myself somewhat active most days. Which is a huge accomplishment, as I was really sedentary before that due to depression and such.
I actually found your channel through that fitness journey video and loved it so much I subscribed. I am so happy I did, because even a year later I find the things you say so inspiring and I couldn't be happier for you!
thank you for making this video!! since you uploaded the first video i've dropped 2 dress sizes and lost nearly 2 stone!!! i think the first video was that push that i needed to commit to losing all the weight! so proud of you and so thankful!
Yes! We want to see a video on healthy alternative snacks!
Hi, I just found your RUclips videos, it was just what I needed to hear!! Thank you!!
I've been looking forward to watching this. You make me feel so much better about myself and I am able to relate a lot to you and your videos ❤️
well done girly, proud of you 💗
Thank you angel! xxx
Oh my goodness, I feel like I just watched your one year update! Congratulations!
Your original fitness update was how I found your channel and I’ve been here ever since 🌞
I found your channel through that video a year ago. And have stuck around since because you are sure light! And like destiny, because I just had started my ED recovery at a clinic here in Sweden, i felt like I was reassured to become well again. I needed to gain weight, but your mindset and self encouragement was suitable for me anyway
Your 1 Year Journey video inspired me massively; I'm so excited to see this one! x
This is just what I needed. The gyms in the south of Spain are still open and I go everyday but the motivation and my mental health are not helping. I'm just trying to be healthy, both physically and mentally. I completely agree with everything you said. I'm sending lots of love and hugs to you Emma and to everyone else 💕
you are such an inspiration and motivator, thank you! 💜 p.s what did you use to dye your hair?! X
Definitely needed this video today. Thank you for being so open about your journey 💛 massively inspiring!
Motivation for me was getting bad but finally turned it around. Actually started pole dancing again!!! Something I used to teach but hardly trained for myself after a while. Happy to chat to help with the pole dance goal :)
I am so proud of you❤️ you are such an inspiration Emma, I’ve been trying to have a better relationship with food and get healthier and sometimes is so hard because my mind is not used to but I look at you and how far you’ve come and I know it’s possible, thank you for sharing ❤️😭
I have some much love and respect for you Emma 💜 I got major inspiration from you and after constantly trying to lose weight over the years I’d lose like 10 lbs and then give up, after watching your fitness video last year it gave me the motivation to stick at it this time, a year in to my fitness journey and I’ve lost nearly 3 stone and have a new love for life I’m so much happier, thank you so much for your honesty in these videos
You have done an amazing job Emma and you look fabulous as always!😁
Thank you so much!!
Thanks so much for this. Your last video motivated me so much. Also, btw you can buy scales on amazon which track your muscle mass etc. Links up to an app on your phone 🙂
So excited for this video !! 🙌🏼❤️x
I hope you enjoy it my love!! xxx
Thank you for the video Emma!! I’ve been here since you lived with your dad! Thank you for sharing your journey with us! I really appreciate you saying it’s more about changing your mindset rather than focusing on the number on the scale. I count myself as a runner but I’ve really lacked the motivation to go on a run and I really enjoy it! I’ve felt very disappointed in myself but like you said we should give ourselves a break we are in hard times. I work as a nurse in the NHS so I shouldn’t really give myself a hard time for working through this pandemic and giving myself a break. I know when I get back on it though I will feel so much better! Love you and love your videos you are fab and such an inspiration! 💕💕💕 xxxx
You are such a good speaker and motivator. I love your positivity and your mindset ❤️
Thank you for this! My fitness goal has been to do a pull up and I've been really down on myself for not being able to. But I have to remember I have only been seriously training for three months. I look back two years ago and I had such a bad shoulder injury I couldn't get my arm over my head. And now I want to try a pull up? That's amazing!
That's an amazing goal! It's also one of mine so I know hard your first pull up is- let alone with a previous injury! Take your time and you'll smash it! I can't wait for you to hit it, it will feel amazing xxxxx
Yes please to all those upcoming video suggestions! Thanks for this Emma, I'm currently in deficit and it's made me question myself about how I want to live long term. My goal is fat loss for now, but I don't want it to be my forever goal so this has been a great watch :) x
I was so excited about this... and it's even better than I hoped for 😭💪❤
You are such a positive influence on my relationship with my body and fitness. I truly appreciate your content so much
Bloody love your honesty Em!!
would definitely love a snack alternative video 🥰
Emma is the big sister that everyboy needs i swear
The pink and red is so gorgeous on you!
This video is so inspiring! Everytime i watch your videos they always inspire me to just do my best. Your so possitive and it is amazing to see! I love all of your videos so much!!
This is such a wholesome and comforting video, thank you so much ❤️
Amazing and inspiring! I’ve recently started my weight loss journey so this was good to watch, I’m doing it steady and slow!
Did you ever set fitness goals with Tim? I want to do a fitness journey with my partner but it's so hard because he has really bad habits so the tiniest change is a huge deal to him while I want to do so much more, does that makes sense?
you could do this journey together but set separate goals. Have 1 visual board, but split it in half, follow the same timeline but with your own objectives :)
Don't let him hold you back and don't push him to do things he isn't ready to do because he simply won't stick with it. Do it by yourself for yourself. He may very well want to start joining you once he sees you thriving.
Absolutely gorgeous video Emma☺️ I found you last year through your first fitness update and have LOVED your channel ever since 😆 you have such an inspiring relationship with food and exercise and it’s a breath of fresh air 🎉
Just your trigger warning made me emotional. I love that you took into consideration anyone who this may affect.
