clothesencounters Awesome work and positive video Jenn. Loved how you related the relationship with physical health with that of mental health. Well done and continue your great work :-)
I noticed that meat such as chicken, turkey, or fish were not on your healthy food lists! Those are important proteins to get in, especially if you strength train! Also, doing HIIT before weights does have different results than doing weights before HIIT. Otherwise, I really enjoyed these tips! I was able to lose weight, gain muscle, and actually be motivated enough to work out consistently for the past 10 months when I had certain goals and wanted to be healthy instead of before when all I wanted to be was "skinny." Thanks for sharing your weight loss journey with us! :)

Yes, sometimes I feel like I need something to eat in between meals and I just reach for a piece of gum instead. It helps so much and I eventually forget I was ever hungry 🙂

I really loved the last tip! I feel the same way because I used to work out for being skinny but after seeing my parents' health deteriorate, I'm motivated to prevent diabetes (ma's) and heart disease (dad's)!!
same! my mother has MS and seeing her struggle with it motivates me to eat healthily and keep up exercising. even if your parents are healthy, you can lower your chance of future diseases with a healthy lifestyle now.
Breakfast being the most important meal of the day has been debunked. It was a marketing line used to sell Kellogg's cereal and other breakfast foods way back when. Research has shown there is no harm to the body if you skip breakfast and likewise, there isn't any extra benefit if you do eat breakfast. In terms of weight loss, again, skipping breakfast (or having it) has not appreciable effect on body weight (given you eat a reasonable amount and type of food for the rest of the day). So basically, do whatever is right for you and your body...if you can't eat in the morning and you function fine, then breakfast isn't necessary. However, if you just can't last until lunch and find yourself feeling out of sorts until you get nourishment, then by all means eat breakfast. Find out what works for you and do it!
So ironic how Kellogg's is inventing "healthy" rules, considering how most cereal is just a pile of sugar and empty carbs that has to be literally sprinkled with nutrients 😂
Finally I found someone that knows that not everyone is the same. My cousin's daughter doesn't have to have breakfast everyday while I go a while after waking up and feel light headed if I don't eat breakfast.
i heard it's not the time you eat the food that affects you, it's the first thing you put in your body when you start your day. you could eat at 3 pm but if you have something healthy, you're good
As a yoga teacher, I can tell you the number one thing to help you lose weight, and it is something you don't really hear from anyone-breathe. Try to match each movement of your mind and body to your breath, and I don't mean just in work put. If you think you're hungry but you know you're not, focus on your breath. If you need to move but you don't want to, match your breath to your movements. Take a deep breath in, deep breath out as you stand, and continue to match your breath to your movements as you do whatever it is your doing. Being conscious of the breath in these ways anchors your mind to your body and does help you lose weight. Just remember: when in doubt, breathe it out.
yippykiay13 biology tells us calories in/ calories out. Yeah breathing can calm you down but you have to take in less then than what you're putting out.
Amen. I am a chemistry major and our fat is lost through breathing. People think our fat just falls off or "burns" off but it's a chemical process and we lose it through our breath
@@xquenzfin3stchickx Precisely.... I am 5'7" and 120lbs is a couple pounds away from being clinically underweight for my height. I used to be 120lbs and was told I looked like Matt Damon's character at the end of his starvation on Mars in the movie "The Martian". I started making a point of eating more after I heard that comment lol.
three quick tips that really helped me! 1) no added sugar or refined carbs on Mondays and Wednesdays! those are my busiest days usually with non-friend activities so it's easier to commit to those two days sugar free. if I do end up eating sugar on those days, I'll move my no-sugar days to Tuesdays or Thursdays, etc. 2) the days that I don't workout, I aim to walk at least 10,000 steps. I live in NYC so it's a bit easier for me, but I'll go on a longer walk during work if I know I'm not exercising that day. 3) If I feel like binge eating, I'll roast a ton of my favorite veggies and eat them until I can't eat anymore! Brussels sprouts and broccoli coated in olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic salt, roast for 30min at 400 degrees F. yummiest things ever.
Dear jen, I got married recently and after I got back from my honeymoon I gained alot of weight and it depresses me... Also, my husband is always cheerful and positive similar to Ben... The last part of the video made me tear up because that's what I'm going through... I needed to hear this... Because I used to be so active before marriage always in the gym or going to a studio to do Zumba for hours. I just needed this kick.. Thank you jen :(
Soooo motivating. I’m literally exactly 120 right now and it’s also the heaviest I’ve ever been. Today is day 1 of getting back on track and this video was awesome. You’re so sweet and genuine! Thanks for this xoxo
Brought me back to memory lane when you made your previous How I lost ten pounds video. That video changed my physical and mental life and brought me too you! Thank you for that ❤️
Loving how realistic your advices are. Always been a silent follower, but this video really helped remind me a bit about my own mental health. So thank you, Jen! Much love.
Try to find something that you can maintain and, if it helps, work towards it in little steps. You aren't going to wake up one day and eat completely differently for the rest of your life. Just try to eat better from meal to meal and generally make small good decisions. Things like halving the carbs or grabbing another serving of veg will add up in the long run and help avoid binging compared to trying a whole new meal plan.
Completely change ur mindset on the the work DIET. just think healthier eating n it will all fall into place. The idea of DIET AND WEIGHTLOSS is very disappointing and distressing.
I feel you. My weight has stayed the same for months even though I try so hard. You have to be positive no matter what. Look back on how you looked/felt/weighed when you started. Also don't focus on the numbers. You can check your weight regularly but you should focus on getting healthier, being fitter and looking different. We'll overcome this, don't give up. If you just binge and stop trying you'll set yourself back so far.
I LOVED your approach to this topic. These were very practical, realistic tips, especially when you talk about the link between physical fitness and mental health. Can't wait to see your strength training routine, because that's really something I've been wanting to get into these days!
yes! muscle burns calories! the more muscle you have, the faster your metabolism is! strength training is so essential for maintanence, everyone is so scared of getting "bulky" but it all depends on how you train!
Jess xo but if you train everyday or 3/4 times a week, wouldn't it get boring if you keep doing the same? I want to workout at home so I don't have many options
I’ve heard that females don’t even have to worry about getting bulky since they don’t have as much testosterone as men. The ones that are bulky take supplements in order to gain that body type. But I guess that it does depend on the person’s body, their genes, and what they’re doing.
Brendons Forehead I use fitness blender! Try using that at home for strenght training. They have body weight only workout videos as well as with dumbbells, which Iove!
This video was so positive and uplifting rather than the usual “make your ex jealous” type of videos out there... I truly feel inspired.. thanks for that!
I am also 5'1 and you can def see the weight gain on my frame. (just like jenn said) and I am ready to start feeling like myself again! Thanks so much jenn!!
This past summer I also lost 15 pounds and a majority of the changes/rules you talked about completely fits the way I lost weight too! (I was more strict with my diet; however, keep in mind I lost the weight in about 3-4 months, compared to a year). I love what you said about finding the right reason to lose weight. For me, I started because I was in this really unhappy, post-breakup, negative place and I thought that by losing weight, I could become more attractive and therefore happier. This really wasn't effective for motivating me to stick to the diet. Once I started focusing more on making positive changes to my body, rather than the number on the scale, it was CRAZY how quickly I was losing weight. But it wasn't just about losing weight anymore. I could see my body toning up and gaining muscle. Every time I would go for a run, my body felt stronger. I became more driven, more positive, and most importantly, more encouraging/loving towards myself!! Now, my lifestyle has changed. When I put good, clean food into my body, I feel good. I love knowing every ingredient I feed myself. Working out makes me so energized. When I feel sluggish, I realize it's whenever I haven't had time to go for a run or had too much junk food. Truly when you put your energy and focus into making positive lifestyle changes, the results you want will follow!!
I weighed myself once a week in the beginning; then by the 3rd month, I was weighing myself every few days or so. My diet was mostly fish/chicken, lots and lots of fresh vegetables, fruits, eggs, nuts, granola, yogurt, dried fruits, baked potatoes/sweet potatoes. I didn't add sugar/salt/sauces/etc. to flavor my foods, I cut out dairy and simple carbs (rice, bread, noodles, etc.), and never had drinks other then water, green tea, and sometimes fruit smoothies (fresh fruits, a little honey). Also tried to do an 1 - 1.5 hours of exercise 4-6 times a week! It sounds like a lot, but if you implement these changes little by little over time, it makes it much easier to build it into your lifestyle and maintain the changes, rather than struggle and end up giving up after a short time.
I was feeling down today. My boyfriend took a picture of me and I could not believe it was me. I’ve gained soooo much weight recently due to stress and a new medication I’m on. This video gave me motivation to work out after class tomorrow. Thank you!
I have lost 28 pounds since May by changing my diet completely and over the summer I didn't work out though I worked as a waitress so long hours and a lot of walking. I finally cracked the code to MY weight loss, I hope that anyone reading this have or will as well. Thank you Jenn, inspiring words as always!
Jenn, i just want to say that i am very thankful for this video! I lost 13 pounds in 4 months and this video contributed so much to my weight loss journey. I did not hit the gym, but i follow your diet rules instead and i am the lightest i have ever been in my life weighing around 105 pounds. It was not easy just like you said but you just need to know that you are one inspiring creator in this platform and thank you!
The Japanese word you were looking for that's like the "sweet spot" you talked about is "hara hachi bun me" or "hara hachi bu" and it means "belly 80 percent full" or "eat until you are 8 parts (of ten) full".
Alanna Carlson This is a Confucius health idea. Most Chinese know of this but many Chinese do not learn from health strategy. Chinese dancers and yoga healthy people use these strategy to be skinny.
I'm glad it's not just me. When I'm distracted there's something to help me space out the bites of food. If I'm watching something then after my food is done I'll sit, digest and finish my show. I'm too lazy to get up to find more food.
this video makes me go back to your other video about losing weight, the one you did when you had dark hair :') thats how I discovered you :) oh the memories haha
Oh my gosh Jenn, I am just like you I am Asian, 5'1 and currently weighting at 115 lbs. Last year I was 105 lbs but due to school and the stress I didn't have time to take care my health. After listening to you I feel so hype, ready to go back on track.
I love how honest you are with your fans and you don't try to hide things like superficial motivations or letting stress take over etc because it's human and something we all face! That was really cool and such a big reason as to why you're my number 1 youTuber! :-)
I feel like a major reason you're so inspiring is because although you are goals for so many girls: an internet celebrity and incredibly beautiful, successful, etc, you have never not been honest about how you got there. You remind us that theres always highs and lows, and that every single day you still struggle with the same exact things the rest of us do, probably even more. You're humble and down to earth and in touch with your humanity and it always rings true in your videos. I really appreciate what it does for me and all the people that watch your content[':
The Japanese expression of eating to the not hungry anymore but not full state is "hara hachi bun me", meaning 80% of the stomach. Great vid as always!
Aki Inokuchi "me" is 目、in this context meaning "-th" or something close to that. 2 is pronounced "ni". I was born and raised in Japan so I probably got that one right. Cheers:)
I feel like Americans really love their sodas, I've seen videos constantly reminding people to not drink carbonated drinks too much.. Like people in my place drink like 2 or 3 times a month
The mental health thing really hit me. I've been down for so long it's become my normal state. I feel in the dumps everyday and I've let my self go. Def a good reason to start working out.
Hi! I am severe social anxiety and I want to start going to the gym but I cannot do it unless I have a friend but my friend is unreliable but I really want to use exercise as my therapy sessions at university has ended. Do you go to the gym?
this was honestly the best video i've ever watched on youtube. not only was it super helpful but the way you ended the video and how wise you seem, you really seem to care and you really seem like such a nice genuine person. I wish there were more girls like you out there. Thanks for the great tips and motivation!
Stacey Kim if you watch your videos, you know that she always encourages people to come up to her and say hi. Of course the manner and timing is always important, so take it as you want:)
oh absolutely! I guess I was just trying to say my body looks like her after photo which makes me feel happy and more confident. This coming from a girl who has body dysmorphia which is why I left that comment! I have a bad habit of comparing myself to others and it's just nice to see someone who is an influencer be so relatable! no harm towards anyone else with any other body type! :)
Thank you for sharing your journey! I've lost 40 pounds, and I'm on my journey to let go of the last 15 pounds. I love seeing that you use "baby plates." I have baby plates, bowls, and cups for myself, too!
I knoww shes literally glowing and so stunning! 💕 I have a channel also!☺️🙋🏻 I would love it if you had a second to have a quick look!👏🏼 I have posted a new video!💕
I just had a major leg surgery to try and correct my knee which keeps dislocating. I've had surgery before and my horrible knee has massively restricted the physical activity I feel comfortable and safe doing. I've found a motivation to get stronger, fitter, and more stable in my last surgery - they had to use a donor's ligaments to reconstruct some of the knee. I don't want somebody to have donated their body to helping others just for me to then be lazy and let my body stay weak and fragile. I'll get myself healthy to honour the incredible person who chose to be a donor 💖💪
I remember watching your first weight loss video during my eating disorder. It's nice to see how much more intuitive this video is in comparison (not that the other video was bad!!). I'm in recovery now and it's nice watching this and reminiscing in a weird way! These tips seem super wholesome w everything in moderation :) love your channel and seeing you grow and succeed!
I'm so happy that you're in recovery. My last weight loss video was a long time ago and wanted to show everyone that I still lost weight without documenting every single thing I was eating.
It really hit me when you say you're eating of dehydrated or bored because I always feel bored and have nothing to do, add up with stress, I just started binged eating all day long. So thanks for the tips about drinking water :D
what I did when I unintentionaly lost my weight last year was because I was drinking lemon infused water all the time. I love lemon so much that I made a lot of lemon infused water and I would drink 3~5 bottle of it (the bottle is 1litre). I was just drinking it because it was that period of time I really want to have it, I wasn't even thinking to diet etc. but after 4 weeks or so I lost 3 kg😆 for you all who love lemon, try this. maybe? xD
oh btw I still ate 3 meals a day. but I didn't eat any snack at all for that time. fyi,I am a person that usually snacking like all the time when it wasn't the time for my big meal. I just the person that got tempted by snacks litterally easily😂
Your sentiment about being positive w/Ben definitely resonates with me. I try to have a positive outlook on life not just for my mental health but because I know it affects the people I love around me. Thanks for another great video! I look forward to seeing your workout one next c:
tvnet222 I totally agree, it's something I'm really aware of as well! It really is motivating to think that my mood will directly improve through exercise, I hadn't considered it as a "goal" before. Anyway, good luck!
"find motivation that resonates with you" this video, especially the end would do it. Thank you Jen for being so honest, transparent, and helpful as per usual
Omg Jenn I am shocked how can someone be so helpful and so natural and true to the audience ... You are amazing and I love how genuine you are ..so many prayers foe you. .I love you
This video came around the perfect time! I'm 2 weeks into my diet and I noticed how crucial it is to be motivated. I lost 5 lbs. already! You, Jenn, are my #1 role model and I want to thank you for this lovely video! Thank you so much 💖
All I could stare at is that makeup look and hair. GIRL the look suits you so well. Love the video so much since I am trying not to eat as bad anymore and i'm trying to be more active.
Another tip is to only do 20-40 minutes of cardio if your goal is to gain muscle! Once you go over 40 minutes, you start burning fat and muscle. If you just want to lose weight, it doesn't matter. Also you should also do cardio after weightlifting. Again, if your goal is to only lose weight, then you can do cardio whenever.
Jessica Kim hi what are the best cardio exercises? I am trying to lose weight not gain muscle. I gain muscle mass so easily. I feel like even if I gain muscle, my fat is still there and it makes me look bigger. Exercising makes me gain weight ;/ I am so much heavier when I am muscly. And my legs get chunky
Exercising does make you gain weight, but it isn't fat. Muscle weighs more than fat does and having muscles also burns more calories. It's proven that swimming and HIIT cardio burns the most calories. You would need to eat at a caloric deficit and do moderate cardio. And are you sure that it's muscle and not fat? There's actually two different types of fat (soft and hard) so people often mistake the hard fat as muscle.
From someone who started her fitness journey around the same age I'd say start slow. Don't work out so hard you can barely walk the next day. Give your body time to get used to the exercise. The first week will be hard, but you should be able to still breathe without being in pain. I actually worked out so hard I had to see a doctor for my joints. Obviously not trying to tell you what to do haha just some suggestions. Good luck and lots lots lots of health for you!
I’m 17 I used to weigh about 190 to almost 200, and the doctor said I was overweight, but I wasn’t that bad because I was about 6 feet tall. But I lost weight and cut down to 170 by just eating healthy foods and taking small walk everyday/stretching. The foods I was mainly eating was less carbs and more veggies/protein. But also remember to be active everyday, now I take training more seriously. Mon-sat I would train and take Sundays off, but if you’re starting new to fitness just play sports or walk daily.
I feel like with weight loss, the most important is is motivation and being strong mentally to continue doing it. It's so easy to fa into cravings. I was starting so many times so I know how it is. Anyhow, I'm back at it again. Started today. I hope by next year, this time I will achieve the look I'm dreaming of x
love this video. I have been watching you for several years and I can totally related to "finding a deeper motivation". I watched your previous video on how to lose weight when I was 18 and I couldnt do it all because I tried to lose weight to "look hot", and to find a boyfriend and I thought noone loved me because I was not skinny. But now, in my 22, having some who love me for who I am, I just want to make choices that is the best for my body.
The tip about 'No tempting snacks at home' is my holy grail rule! I never keep any junk food, drinks or meals at home cuz I get those midnight cravings real bad! The only restrain I have to show is at the grocery store which is way easier than at midnight when I want to eat everything.
Jenn I love how realistic you are, and these are attainable tips that I can use. Can't wait to see your workout video! Also, if you or anyone sees this, please tell me a good way to burn my stomach fat. Certain exercises hurt my spine :(
Every body is different and distributes weight differently! For one, Jenn is short and so that weight looks different. Don’t compare yourself to other bodies! Each is SO different
trust me when i say EVERY BODY is different!! Jenn's short and the weight will look different on her. You can do this! dont compare yourself, focusing on your personal journey it keyyy AGAIN YOU GOT THIS GOOD LUCKK WISH YOU A GREAT JOURNEY:)
Height and frame are important. I'm very short and used to be 140 pounds, it was my heaviest and I looked and felt terrible, and I was chubby. Meanwhile I know women who are taller/larger framed and they look amazing and even really skinny at 140.
i've been gaining weight over the years and especially with university it's not getting any easier trying to balance life and looking after myself :( my goal is to become alot more fit by the end of next year hehe :) thank you for the tips and inspiration!
i literally could feel how jenn initially felt. i only really feel like i should lose weight because i want to be skinny but i'm so glad jenn is such a burst of positive energy. 😭❤️
Hara Hachi Bu :) Okinawans use it as a verbal reminder to only eat when 80% full! It's talked about in The Blue Zones book by Dan Buettner Highly recommend!
Pamela Yeah, haha. My grandma always used to say that to me when I was little. And after I moved to America, I gained so much weight. And when I went back to Okinawa she told me to only eat until I'm 80% full and savor my food. I lost 10 pounds in a month. Haha. It really makes a difference.
this video gives me lots of motivation! how do you get around feeling awkward at the gym and not knowing what equipment to use or how to use it. I think im someone who gets shy going to the gym >.
jene4train when you first sign up at my fitness gym, you get 3 1hr sessions with a trainer and they can set you up with a starter workout routine and teach you the machinery so look into that! There should be instructional posters around the machinery (don't be embarrassed, doing the workout properly is priority), maybe make notes of equipment you see other people using and Google it so you can try it next time (: don't fluster yourself to know everything at once, learning a machine or two per week is just fine. Don't forget to warmup beforehand and stretch afterwards!
You'll definitely feel self conscious the first couple of times going to the gym, but don't let that demotivate you. Just do your research, find a workout plan and go from there! If you're unsure about something just ask, I think most people would be happy to help you around. Everybody has to start somewhere
This is a really inspiring video! I have followed you for almost 3 years now and I can see how much you have matured along the way. Being a content creator and putting yourself on the internet is not easy. I hope you will keep soaring in the future and I look forward to watching more videos from you!
I'm SO glad you mentioned that, because I'm a small framed person as well, so when I was 125 (due to medications), people thought I was pregnant. My natural weight was always 105ish, which people consider "underweight" by whatever standard they base that on.
This was such an amazing video jenn. ♥️😭the way you explained things and spoke about it was truly inspiring! Your so good with words . You’ve always been my favorite OG RUclipsr . Your growth is inspiring to me . Thank you ! 💕
My biggest and most successful realization when it came to my health and working out was accepting my body for the way it is. I don't mean not doing anything, I mean my body type and the way I carry weight. I used to idolize body-types that realistically I would never be able to achieve. I always hated my back, my arms, my shoulders, because I have a wider frame than someone like Jenn. I look a lot bigger in pictures with people who actually weight more than me, but have smaller shoulders, back, and chest than I do. I carry a lot of my weight up top, in my stomach and back, rather than my hips, butt, and thighs. And I also have super skinny calves (Jenn I know you talked about how you've felt self conscious about your calves before but I would love to have yours! It's always greener, right?) So, after I made this realization and accepted my body-type for what it was I was able to adjust my workouts and feel so much better about myself. I started idolizing more muscular people, like cross-fitters (although I never did cross-fit), and I joined the rowing team in college. I did a lot more strength training and a lot less cardio (but I worked in cardio by keeping my workouts high intensity). Despite all of this, I didn't get "bulky" (the dreaded word that a lot of women are afraid of when they start strength training) and I actually slimmed down a lot. I lost a lot of weight in my breasts too, which was pretty great while it lasted. Now that my novel is over, that's my advice, find peace in your body and body type and then go from there :)
The things that use to stop me was clothing: I always thought it was a waste of money and clothing to throw out the ones that didn't fit and buy new clothes. And sometimes when you donate clothing, it doesn't go anywhere or something.
Yes, 80% of your stomach, because when you 'feel' 80% full, you are actually 100% full, since your brain takes 20 minutes more to register it's full! (Confusing) :D It feels so satisfying when you get it right. :) Eating with chopsticks also makes you eat slower and concentrate on your food so you will feel full. :)
This video really opened my eyes. I have really bad back pains and I’m not able to work out for a few weeks until my doctor allows me to do so. I’m so sad because of it and bored that I snack on everything that I have at home and that it’s starting to affect my mood and my body weight. Only after this video I realized that I need to start looking after my physical and mental health a lot more by eating healthier, otherwise I’ll stay in this vicious cycle forever and it’s gonna take me years to recover from both things. Also, you said something that’s really important, and it’s to find a deeper reason to become healthier. My reason is because I just simply want to be happier. I don’t want my mood to affect the way I live or my relationship with other people. I don’t want my loved ones to have to deal with my mental state. I don’t want to have to deal with it myself. So thank you very very much for the message that you gave us, and sorry for any mistake while writing, English isn’t my first language 😊❤️
Started my fitness journey just over a week ago, and I've already lost 5lbs! These tips are super helpful! Good luck to everyone! It really does help your happiness :)
After all is said and done, as long as you're in a caloric deficit you'll lose weight. It's that simple. People tend to over complicate with a ton of "strategies", but being in a caloric deficit is really all it takes. Now, if you're at your ideal weight and are looking to get leaner and build muscle, then you'll have to do more.
I think most people know that, just that people give up pretty quick. It's not just eating less it's also eating more complex carbohydrates instead of simple sugars. Most people are taught that fat makes them fat not that sugar also makes them fat. It really comes down to nutrition education and willpower
+wut dafuq there have been studies / documentaries where someone lived off Twinkies consuming less than they burned and lost weight 😋 you're right about nutrition...to really see substantial changes, nutrition plays a huge role
Calories aren't everything. If you're consuming fewer calories but have a high carb or fat intake, that definitely won't help. We need to encourage people not to just starve themselves to love weight but rather to pay attention to the ingredients and learn what everything means. It's really not that difficult to learn the basics.
Here are 10 tips that I've incorporated into my life to maintain a healthier lifestyle!
clothesencounters Awesome work and positive video Jenn. Loved how you related the relationship with physical health with that of mental health. Well done and continue your great work :-)
I noticed that meat such as chicken, turkey, or fish were not on your healthy food lists! Those are important proteins to get in, especially if you strength train! Also, doing HIIT before weights does have different results than doing weights before HIIT. Otherwise, I really enjoyed these tips! I was able to lose weight, gain muscle, and actually be motivated enough to work out consistently for the past 10 months when I had certain goals and wanted to be healthy instead of before when all I wanted to be was "skinny." Thanks for sharing your weight loss journey with us! :)

You're a life saver!
Even though I always watch the whole video having the visual of the list afterwards is helpful.
Ibtisam Khoiri Qonita This summary was very helpful! Thank you! So many people liked it too!
"chances are you're dehydrated or bored"

I always eat rubbish out of being bored 😭
I'm super guilty of bored eating omg Dx
@@Paulina-un7wu me too... XD she's giving us good vibes and motivation
Yes, sometimes I feel like I need something to eat in between meals and I just reach for a piece of gum instead. It helps so much and I eventually forget I was ever hungry 🙂
this makes senseee lmao i didn't even realize

YES! I totally thought of this while watching this video.
So accurate
Your comment is like so perf!
Yes! 😌
I really loved the last tip! I feel the same way because I used to work out for being skinny but after seeing my parents' health deteriorate, I'm motivated to prevent diabetes (ma's) and heart disease (dad's)!!
Aww thanks Amy! n__n

same! my mother has MS and seeing her struggle with it motivates me to eat healthily and keep up exercising. even if your parents are healthy, you can lower your chance of future diseases with a healthy lifestyle now.
Breakfast being the most important meal of the day has been debunked. It was a marketing line used to sell Kellogg's cereal and other breakfast foods way back when. Research has shown there is no harm to the body if you skip breakfast and likewise, there isn't any extra benefit if you do eat breakfast. In terms of weight loss, again, skipping breakfast (or having it) has not appreciable effect on body weight (given you eat a reasonable amount and type of food for the rest of the day). So basically, do whatever is right for you and your body...if you can't eat in the morning and you function fine, then breakfast isn't necessary. However, if you just can't last until lunch and find yourself feeling out of sorts until you get nourishment, then by all means eat breakfast. Find out what works for you and do it!
So ironic how Kellogg's is inventing "healthy" rules, considering how most cereal is just a pile of sugar and empty carbs that has to be literally sprinkled with nutrients 😂
@@vp3841 also Kellogg was a crazy man who made corn flakes because he thought it would stop people from masterbating.
Finally I found someone that knows that not everyone is the same. My cousin's daughter doesn't have to have breakfast everyday while I go a while after waking up and feel light headed if I don't eat breakfast.
i heard it's not the time you eat the food that affects you, it's the first thing you put in your body when you start your day. you could eat at 3 pm but if you have something healthy, you're good
If you are a child, still eat, because it helps you learn more in school :)
As a yoga teacher, I can tell you the number one thing to help you lose weight, and it is something you don't really hear from anyone-breathe. Try to match each movement of your mind and body to your breath, and I don't mean just in work put. If you think you're hungry but you know you're not, focus on your breath. If you need to move but you don't want to, match your breath to your movements. Take a deep breath in, deep breath out as you stand, and continue to match your breath to your movements as you do whatever it is your doing. Being conscious of the breath in these ways anchors your mind to your body and does help you lose weight. Just remember: when in doubt, breathe it out.
yippykiay13 biology tells us calories in/ calories out. Yeah breathing can calm you down but you have to take in less then than what you're putting out.
I've been breathing for 16 years..
Hm. This is true. Very true. You forgot to mention that fat is actually breathed out so thats why
Amen. I am a chemistry major and our fat is lost through breathing. People think our fat just falls off or "burns" off but it's a chemical process and we lose it through our breath
Im 13 year old and im 55 kg I want to be 45 kg but I cant what ever I tri loos wheigt
“i was the heaviest i’ve ever been- 120 pounds” i remember when i said that in 4th grade
HAHA me too!! I’m really trying to get to 120 even as a girl only 5 feet tall like that’s my GOAL
120 pounds on someone her height looks very different compared to someone who is taller
It may be heavy for her but underweight for a taller person
I’m 4’11 and the heaviest I’ve ever been was 99 pounds. I’m back to 94 pounds again. Lol
@@xquenzfin3stchickx Precisely.... I am 5'7" and 120lbs is a couple pounds away from being clinically underweight for my height. I used to be 120lbs and was told I looked like Matt Damon's character at the end of his starvation on Mars in the movie "The Martian". I started making a point of eating more after I heard that comment lol.
three quick tips that really helped me!
1) no added sugar or refined carbs on Mondays and Wednesdays! those are my busiest days usually with non-friend activities so it's easier to commit to those two days sugar free. if I do end up eating sugar on those days, I'll move my no-sugar days to Tuesdays or Thursdays, etc.
2) the days that I don't workout, I aim to walk at least 10,000 steps. I live in NYC so it's a bit easier for me, but I'll go on a longer walk during work if I know I'm not exercising that day.
3) If I feel like binge eating, I'll roast a ton of my favorite veggies and eat them until I can't eat anymore! Brussels sprouts and broccoli coated in olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic salt, roast for 30min at 400 degrees F. yummiest things ever.
socialworld2 I also have Wednesday as my zero added sugar day! :) also I'll try roasting some veg. Thanks for sharing 😊
if i feel like bingeing, i eat a bunch of grapefruits and pomegranates hahah- They take a long time to eat, so it satisfies that craving...
this was so helpful. thank you!
Dear jen, I got married recently and after I got back from my honeymoon I gained alot of weight and it depresses me... Also, my husband is always cheerful and positive similar to Ben... The last part of the video made me tear up because that's what I'm going through... I needed to hear this... Because I used to be so active before marriage always in the gym or going to a studio to do Zumba for hours. I just needed this kick.. Thank you jen :(
Maryam Is haha this is me, but pregnant 😩😂
Maryam Is You got this!
Soooo motivating. I’m literally exactly 120 right now and it’s also the heaviest I’ve ever been. Today is day 1 of getting back on track and this video was awesome. You’re so sweet and genuine!
Thanks for this
xoxo
Brought me back to memory lane when you made your previous How I lost ten pounds video. That video changed my physical and mental life and brought me too you! Thank you for that ❤️
Loving how realistic your advices are. Always been a silent follower, but this video really helped remind me a bit about my own mental health. So thank you, Jen! Much love.
how do you stay patient with weight loss? i feel like after 2 months i get discouraged and end up binging/eating even worse for the next year :'(
Try to find something that you can maintain and, if it
helps, work towards it in little steps. You aren't going to wake up one day and eat completely differently for the rest of your life. Just try to eat better from meal to meal and generally make small good decisions. Things like halving the carbs or grabbing another serving of veg will add up in the long run and help avoid binging compared to trying a whole new meal plan.
thanks for the suggestion Anya, I'm so impatient but I guess thats why i can never lose the weight!
Also remember it probably didn't take 2 months to gain the weight..so it's going to take just as long to loose it in a healthy way.
Completely change ur mindset on the the work DIET. just think healthier eating n it will all fall into place. The idea of DIET AND WEIGHTLOSS is very disappointing and distressing.
I feel you. My weight has stayed the same for months even though I try so hard.
You have to be positive no matter what. Look back on how you looked/felt/weighed when you started.
Also don't focus on the numbers. You can check your weight regularly but you should focus on getting healthier, being fitter and looking different.
We'll overcome this, don't give up. If you just binge and stop trying you'll set yourself back so far.
I LOVED your approach to this topic. These were very practical, realistic tips, especially when you talk about the link between physical fitness and mental health.
Can't wait to see your strength training routine, because that's really something I've been wanting to get into these days!
2hearts1seoul omfg my another favorite youtuber is here....
OMG 2hearts1seoul!!!
2hearts1seoul I agree because I have a similar frame and I recently went from 105 to 125 and on my frame it shows and it has affected my joints
yes! muscle burns calories! the more muscle you have, the faster your metabolism is! strength training is so essential for maintanence, everyone is so scared of getting "bulky" but it all depends on how you train!
Jess xo but if you train everyday or 3/4 times a week, wouldn't it get boring if you keep doing the same? I want to workout at home so I don't have many options
I’ve heard that females don’t even have to worry about getting bulky since they don’t have as much testosterone as men. The ones that are bulky take supplements in order to gain that body type. But I guess that it does depend on the person’s body, their genes, and what they’re doing.
runway yeah I'm not really worrying about getting bulky or not but I just don't know what to do at home as a good exercise
Brendons Forehead I use fitness blender! Try using that at home for strenght training. They have body weight only workout videos as well as with dumbbells, which Iove!
Brendons Forehead seconding fitness blender. They changed my life.
This video was so positive and uplifting rather than the usual “make your ex jealous” type of videos out there... I truly feel inspired.. thanks for that!
People make those types of videos? Dear Lorde. Going to go back under my rock now 😂 that is just too much!
I am also 5'1 and you can def see the weight gain on my frame. (just like jenn said) and I am ready to start feeling like myself again! Thanks so much jenn!!
Maya Maya same!
Maya Maya it's the worst right? Being short is so rough for weight gain
Good luck!! I want to get back into exercising too 💪🏼
I know I’m 4’11 and I gained like 7 pounds but it makes me feel so fat
I'm 5'2 and because of studying and stress I gained some weight and it's not a lot but it's so visible 😕
This past summer I also lost 15 pounds and a majority of the changes/rules you talked about completely fits the way I lost weight too! (I was more strict with my diet; however, keep in mind I lost the weight in about 3-4 months, compared to a year). I love what you said about finding the right reason to lose weight. For me, I started because I was in this really unhappy, post-breakup, negative place and I thought that by losing weight, I could become more attractive and therefore happier. This really wasn't effective for motivating me to stick to the diet. Once I started focusing more on making positive changes to my body, rather than the number on the scale, it was CRAZY how quickly I was losing weight.
But it wasn't just about losing weight anymore. I could see my body toning up and gaining muscle. Every time I would go for a run, my body felt stronger. I became more driven, more positive, and most importantly, more encouraging/loving towards myself!! Now, my lifestyle has changed. When I put good, clean food into my body, I feel good. I love knowing every ingredient I feed myself. Working out makes me so energized. When I feel sluggish, I realize it's whenever I haven't had time to go for a run or had too much junk food. Truly when you put your energy and focus into making positive lifestyle changes, the results you want will follow!!
Hi. How was your diet like? :)
Hi cn i ask how often did u weigh urself during ur diet?
I weighed myself once a week in the beginning; then by the 3rd month, I was weighing myself every few days or so. My diet was mostly fish/chicken, lots and lots of fresh vegetables, fruits, eggs, nuts, granola, yogurt, dried fruits, baked potatoes/sweet potatoes. I didn't add sugar/salt/sauces/etc. to flavor my foods, I cut out dairy and simple carbs (rice, bread, noodles, etc.), and never had drinks other then water, green tea, and sometimes fruit smoothies (fresh fruits, a little honey). Also tried to do an 1 - 1.5 hours of exercise 4-6 times a week!
It sounds like a lot, but if you implement these changes little by little over time, it makes it much easier to build it into your lifestyle and maintain the changes, rather than struggle and end up giving up after a short time.
YGfamily4ever can i know the workout u've been following ?
Same here! I’m so proud of you!!!
off topic but bangs look amazing on you
I was feeling down today. My boyfriend took a picture of me and I could not believe it was me. I’ve gained soooo much weight recently due to stress and a new medication I’m on. This video gave me motivation to work out after class tomorrow. Thank you!
I have lost 28 pounds since May by changing my diet completely and over the summer I didn't work out though I worked as a waitress so long hours and a lot of walking. I finally cracked the code to MY weight loss, I hope that anyone reading this have or will as well. Thank you Jenn, inspiring words as always!
Jenn, i just want to say that i am very thankful for this video! I lost 13 pounds in 4 months and this video contributed so much to my weight loss journey. I did not hit the gym, but i follow your diet rules instead and i am the lightest i have ever been in my life weighing around 105 pounds. It was not easy just like you said but you just need to know that you are one inspiring creator in this platform and thank you!
Hi how many calories did u eat day?
Jenn your hair, makeup, & SKIN looks poppin ✨😅
The Japanese word you were looking for that's like the "sweet spot" you talked about is "hara hachi bun me" or "hara hachi bu" and it means "belly 80 percent full" or "eat until you are 8 parts (of ten) full".
Alanna Carlson This is a Confucius health idea. Most Chinese know of this but many Chinese do not learn from health strategy. Chinese dancers and yoga healthy people use these strategy to be skinny.
I think it say "Eat slowly until stomach 80 percent full to tell mind it is full."
Thanks! I was looking for this.
Yes, that was it! Thank you! Have you been to Japan before?
腹八分目
For me, distractions help me to not eat too much. Also, eat slowly so then your brain says "Ok you're full". You will also feel full as well.
Yeah I’m the opposite of Jenn, I eat slower when I’m distracted
I'm glad it's not just me. When I'm distracted there's something to help me space out the bites of food. If I'm watching something then after my food is done I'll sit, digest and finish my show. I'm too lazy to get up to find more food.
I have to watch a film, or tv whilst eating. I just can’t eat in silence. My thoughts are too distracting.
Yup, I use this :)
Me too
As long as you eating outside the kitchen and you can't have more food.
"don't eat with distractions" she says as I'm eating while watching this
trangraptor LOLLL
IM GOINT TO EAT RIGHT NOW THIS VIDEO MADE ME HUNGRY
SAME
Same, I was eating a cookie and I started to question if I should’ve finished it
trangraptor definitely!! I was eating carrots with houmous though, so kinda ok🐰😂🥕
this video makes me go back to your other video about losing weight, the one you did when you had dark hair :')
thats how I discovered you :) oh the memories haha
Cynthia Novillo same!
Ahh! What a throwback!
Cynthia Novillo same!
Cynthia Novillo same here haha :D
omg same here!
Oh my gosh Jenn, I am just like you I am Asian, 5'1 and currently weighting at 115 lbs. Last year I was 105 lbs but due to school and the stress I didn't have time to take care my health. After listening to you I feel so hype, ready to go back on track.
I love how honest you are with your fans and you don't try to hide things like superficial motivations or letting stress take over etc because it's human and something we all face! That was really cool and such a big reason as to why you're my number 1 youTuber! :-)
I feel like a major reason you're so inspiring is because although you are goals for so many girls: an internet celebrity and incredibly beautiful, successful, etc, you have never not been honest about how you got there. You remind us that theres always highs and lows, and that every single day you still struggle with the same exact things the rest of us do, probably even more. You're humble and down to earth and in touch with your humanity and it always rings true in your videos. I really appreciate what it does for me and all the people that watch your content[':
such a great trips! I had lose 12 kg and get the yoyo effect. Now I am on the way too loose 3 kg again
You motivate me 😊
*eats while watching this video...*
"Don't have distractions while you eat"
*looks down at food*
ColletteisaBear same lol
Hahaha same!
sammmmee!!!!! i was eating a burrito..
Hahahaha! :)
literally what i did
The Japanese expression of eating to the not hungry anymore but not full state is "hara hachi bun me", meaning 80% of the stomach. Great vid as always!
Donna Ren wait what i thought it was “hara hachi bun ne” (half japanese but dont take my word for it) because ‘ne’ means 2 so.... idk
Aki Inokuchi "me" is 目、in this context meaning "-th" or something close to that. 2 is pronounced "ni". I was born and raised in Japan so I probably got that one right. Cheers:)
I feel like Americans really love their sodas, I've seen videos constantly reminding people to not drink carbonated drinks too much.. Like people in my place drink like 2 or 3 times a month
I'm European and never drink soft drinks even though i love sweet foods
When I stopped drinking sugary sodas and energy drinks and stopped eating chips so much I lost 20 pounds.
The mental health thing really hit me. I've been down for so long it's become my normal state. I feel in the dumps everyday and I've let my self go. Def a good reason to start working out.
princess7539 i hope you will! I wish you all the healthiness and happiness in the world!
princess7539 same,thats how i am too
Same! I was working out daily and I was in a really good shape also, I was feeling refreshed but the storm came and drag me with it.
i totally agree with working out and mental health. it's helped me with my depression & anxiety. working out is a must for me now :D it's therapeutic!
Roe thank you for this! been dealing with anxiety and depression for the longest time, time to move that ass 😂😂
Hi! I am severe social anxiety and I want to start going to the gym but I cannot do it unless I have a friend but my friend is unreliable but I really want to use exercise as my therapy sessions at university has ended. Do you go to the gym?
Same here
Sammy you can workout at home honestly the gym isn’t necessary, just make ur own gym at home and enjoy your time!
Sammy you can workout at home honestly the gym isn’t necessary, just make ur own gym at home and enjoy your time!
this was honestly the best video i've ever watched on youtube. not only was it super helpful but the way you ended the video and how wise you seem, you really seem to care and you really seem like such a nice genuine person. I wish there were more girls like you out there. Thanks for the great tips and motivation!
I've seen u at the gym a million times but I'm too scared to say hi cuz u always look soooo focused!!! Lol you go girl 💪🏻💪🏻
I'm sure she'll love for you to say hi!
Ñ
Stacey Kim if you watch your videos, you know that she always encourages people to come up to her and say hi. Of course the manner and timing is always important, so take it as you want:)
Jen, seeing your after photo made me feel so confident and happy about my body. It's so nice to see an influencer have such a normal body type! :)
oh absolutely! I guess I was just trying to say my body looks like her after photo which makes me feel happy and more confident. This coming from a girl who has body dysmorphia which is why I left that comment! I have a bad habit of comparing myself to others and it's just nice to see someone who is an influencer be so relatable!
no harm towards anyone else with any other body type! :)
Thank you for sharing your journey! I've lost 40 pounds, and I'm on my journey to let go of the last 15 pounds. I love seeing that you use "baby plates." I have baby plates, bowls, and cups for myself, too!
how is your makeup always so good?!
A little bit of Monika your name is so good
Hi monika
I knoww shes literally glowing and so stunning! 💕 I have a channel also!☺️🙋🏻 I would love it if you had a second to have a quick look!👏🏼 I have posted a new video!💕
Jenn: "Don't watch RUclips while you eat your dinner."
Me: *Stuffs face with potato salad while watching this video*
I actually really like you. I just stumbled upon this video and I’m suprised about how much I actually like your personality.
I just had a major leg surgery to try and correct my knee which keeps dislocating. I've had surgery before and my horrible knee has massively restricted the physical activity I feel comfortable and safe doing. I've found a motivation to get stronger, fitter, and more stable in my last surgery - they had to use a donor's ligaments to reconstruct some of the knee. I don't want somebody to have donated their body to helping others just for me to then be lazy and let my body stay weak and fragile. I'll get myself healthy to honour the incredible person who chose to be a donor 💖💪
cocoahooves Sending my prayers! You go girl!!!!
Oh God I accidentally disliked thissss I feel awful i actually wanted to like it TT TT, CONGRATS!! 👏
Awesome!!!
I remember watching your first weight loss video during my eating disorder. It's nice to see how much more intuitive this video is in comparison (not that the other video was bad!!). I'm in recovery now and it's nice watching this and reminiscing in a weird way! These tips seem super wholesome w everything in moderation :) love your channel and seeing you grow and succeed!
I'm so happy that you're in recovery. My last weight loss video was a long time ago and wanted to show everyone that I still lost weight without documenting every single thing I was eating.
clothesencounters ❤️❤️ thank you for the reply! And thank you for all your hard work and sharing some of your life and tips, they inspire me :)
It really hit me when you say you're eating of dehydrated or bored because I always feel bored and have nothing to do, add up with stress, I just started binged eating all day long. So thanks for the tips about drinking water :D
this is actually one of, if not the best, weight loss tips videos I've seen. all these tips are realistic and doable so thanks Jenn :)
I can't stop staring at your hair, makeup, and glow! Awesome video as always! :)
what I did when I unintentionaly lost my weight last year was because I was drinking lemon infused water all the time. I love lemon so much that I made a lot of lemon infused water and I would drink 3~5 bottle of it (the bottle is 1litre). I was just drinking it because it was that period of time I really want to have it, I wasn't even thinking to diet etc. but after 4 weeks or so I lost 3 kg😆
for you all who love lemon, try this. maybe? xD
oh btw I still ate 3 meals a day. but I didn't eat any snack at all for that time. fyi,I am a person that usually snacking like all the time when it wasn't the time for my big meal. I just the person that got tempted by snacks litterally easily😂
So you just squeeze lemon juice into water?
I am trying this but I use a half lemon only in a day because it would taste bad. What about u, how long would u use ur lemons in your water?
@@saveyugyeomfromjinyoung1349 yes and put peels on the water
The lemon water is very acidic and bad for your teeth
Your sentiment about being positive w/Ben definitely resonates with me. I try to have a positive outlook on life not just for my mental health but because I know it affects the people I love around me. Thanks for another great video! I look forward to seeing your workout one next c:
tvnet222 I totally agree, it's something I'm really aware of as well! It really is motivating to think that my mood will directly improve through exercise, I hadn't considered it as a "goal" before. Anyway, good luck!
Maybee you can make "What I eat in a day" videos! ❤️
Jessica Xia yes please!!!!
I really like these tips!
And maybe share some easy recipes!
yes please!!
EVERY SINGLE tip resonates with me. Can't love this video any more. A thousand thanks to you.
I didn't even noticed you gained weight last year! You still looked poppin' :D
Justine Saruca me toooooo
Agreed!
Justine Saruca sooo true
All of her fat distributed around her body so well! Barely went into her face luckily. But for me, everything seems to go everywhere 😭
I also didn't notice!! When did she gain all that 15lbs?
"find motivation that resonates with you" this video, especially the end would do it. Thank you Jen for being so honest, transparent, and helpful as per usual
Omg Jenn I am shocked how can someone be so helpful and so natural and true to the audience ... You are amazing and I love how genuine you are ..so many prayers foe you. .I love you
Should be studying BUT I've been waiting for this video. Thank you Jenn!! :D
This video came around the perfect time! I'm 2 weeks into my diet and I noticed how crucial it is to be motivated. I lost 5 lbs. already! You, Jenn, are my #1 role model and I want to thank you for this lovely video! Thank you so much 💖
Yes pls do mention ur diet!!
All I could stare at is that makeup look and hair. GIRL the look suits you so well. Love the video so much since I am trying not to eat as bad anymore and i'm trying to be more active.
Another tip is to only do 20-40 minutes of cardio if your goal is to gain muscle! Once you go over 40 minutes, you start burning fat and muscle. If you just want to lose weight, it doesn't matter. Also you should also do cardio after weightlifting. Again, if your goal is to only lose weight, then you can do cardio whenever.
Jessica Kim hi what are the best cardio exercises? I am trying to lose weight not gain muscle. I gain muscle mass so easily. I feel like even if I gain muscle, my fat is still there and it makes me look bigger. Exercising makes me gain weight ;/ I am so much heavier when I am muscly.
And my legs get chunky
Exercising does make you gain weight, but it isn't fat. Muscle weighs more than fat does and having muscles also burns more calories. It's proven that swimming and HIIT cardio burns the most calories. You would need to eat at a caloric deficit and do moderate cardio. And are you sure that it's muscle and not fat? There's actually two different types of fat (soft and hard) so people often mistake the hard fat as muscle.
Sauce?
What do you mean sauce?
Not so much the time doing cardio as it is your heart rate while doing it that maters in terms of muscle vs fat catabolism
I was gonna ask for a workout routine. I'm 16 and I don't know anything when It comes to the gym, so I was so happy when Jenn did this!
deception8055 army 🦄🌈👏
From someone who started her fitness journey around the same age I'd say start slow. Don't work out so hard you can barely walk the next day. Give your body time to get used to the exercise. The first week will be hard, but you should be able to still breathe without being in pain. I actually worked out so hard I had to see a doctor for my joints. Obviously not trying to tell you what to do haha just some suggestions. Good luck and lots lots lots of health for you!
I’m 17 I used to weigh about 190 to almost 200, and the doctor said I was overweight, but I wasn’t that bad because I was about 6 feet tall. But I lost weight and cut down to 170 by just eating healthy foods and taking small walk everyday/stretching. The foods I was mainly eating was less carbs and more veggies/protein. But also remember to be active everyday, now I take training more seriously. Mon-sat I would train and take Sundays off, but if you’re starting new to fitness just play sports or walk daily.
Ikr exactly what was thinking yay
We're in the same position, im 16 too. Maybe search for youtube workout videos to get you started first?
I feel like with weight loss, the most important is is motivation and being strong mentally to continue doing it. It's so easy to fa into cravings. I was starting so many times so I know how it is. Anyhow, I'm back at it again. Started today. I hope by next year, this time I will achieve the look I'm dreaming of x
love this video. I have been watching you for several years and I can totally related to "finding a deeper motivation". I watched your previous video on how to lose weight when I was 18 and I couldnt do it all because I tried to lose weight to "look hot", and to find a boyfriend and I thought noone loved me because I was not skinny. But now, in my 22, having some who love me for who I am, I just want to make choices that is the best for my body.
GIRL, IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS FOR MONTHS IM SO HAPPY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Making sundays 1000 better since always!!!!!!!! Lots of love❤️❤️❤️
This is honestly one of the most motivating and realistic “tips” video I’ve come across; thank you 🥲
LOL “don’t eat with distractions” I literally sat down with a bowl of noodles and am watching this video
me too AHAHA
Lmaoo hope u finished in 13 mins 👍👍
only reason why id want to loose weight is to look good in clothes :p
Lmao I wanna look good without it
Same
Same
Me too because I love wearing croptop and high waist pants
I want to be confident enough to wear a bikini 🙃
字幕に日本語がのってて私でも見れる内容で嬉しかったです💓
頑張ろう！と思えた動画です！
ありがとうございます😽💕
The tip about 'No tempting snacks at home' is my holy grail rule! I never keep any junk food, drinks or meals at home cuz I get those midnight cravings real bad! The only restrain I have to show is at the grocery store which is way easier than at midnight when I want to eat everything.
Rashi Agarwal also advise I've been given is to never go grocery shopping when hungry. Eat first and then go out
Jenn I love how realistic you are, and these are attainable tips that I can use. Can't wait to see your workout video! Also, if you or anyone sees this, please tell me a good way to burn my stomach fat. Certain exercises hurt my spine :(
First weightloss video ive ever commented on and genuinely liked. Thank you
Thank you for being so real with us xx
Spirited Gal I
The sweet spot you mentioned is "腹八分目" (hara-hachi-bun-me). It means when you're 80% full👌❤️
When her starting weight is your ultimate goal weight
Every body is different and distributes weight differently! For one, Jenn is short and so that weight looks different. Don’t compare yourself to other bodies! Each is SO different
trust me when i say EVERY BODY is different!! Jenn's short and the weight will look different on her. You can do this! dont compare yourself, focusing on your personal journey it keyyy AGAIN YOU GOT THIS GOOD LUCKK WISH YOU A GREAT JOURNEY:)
I was 120 pounds in 4th grade😭
yeah, it depends on your height though. 120 lbs for a 5'10 woman would be very skinny.
Height and frame are important. I'm very short and used to be 140 pounds, it was my heaviest and I looked and felt terrible, and I was chubby. Meanwhile I know women who are taller/larger framed and they look amazing and even really skinny at 140.
i've been gaining weight over the years and especially with university it's not getting any easier trying to balance life and looking after myself :( my goal is to become alot more fit by the end of next year hehe :) thank you for the tips and inspiration!
good morning from Korea!! your video is like a gift in Monday morning :)
Love your vibe! Been searching for inspo for more petite person weight loss motivation and you have a great disposition
i literally could feel how jenn initially felt. i only really feel like i should lose weight because i want to be skinny but i'm so glad jenn is such a burst of positive energy. 😭❤️
I love your other diet tips video! I always reference it when looking for inspiration! So glad you posted an updated one!
Same ~
Thank you for the video.
I love your upbeat personality! It’s so nice to hear!
I would love to be at 120 again! Your video definitely motivated me. Love your hair by the way Jenn!
Hara Hachi Bu :) Okinawans use it as a verbal reminder to only eat when 80% full! It's talked about in The Blue Zones book by Dan Buettner Highly recommend!
Pamela Yeah, haha. My grandma always used to say that to me when I was little. And after I moved to America, I gained so much weight. And when I went back to Okinawa she told me to only eat until I'm 80% full and savor my food. I lost 10 pounds in a month. Haha. It really makes a difference.
I try to follow it all the time and it has made a difference in me as well!
Probably the best video I've seen on this topic, positive & straight to the point! Love it
this video gives me lots of motivation! how do you get around feeling awkward at the gym and not knowing what equipment to use or how to use it. I think im someone who gets shy going to the gym >.
jene4train when you first sign up at my fitness gym, you get 3 1hr sessions with a trainer and they can set you up with a starter workout routine and teach you the machinery so look into that! There should be instructional posters around the machinery (don't be embarrassed, doing the workout properly is priority), maybe make notes of equipment you see other people using and Google it so you can try it next time (: don't fluster yourself to know everything at once, learning a machine or two per week is just fine. Don't forget to warmup beforehand and stretch afterwards!
You'll definitely feel self conscious the first couple of times going to the gym, but don't let that demotivate you. Just do your research, find a workout plan and go from there! If you're unsure about something just ask, I think most people would be happy to help you around. Everybody has to start somewhere
THIS IS AMAZING JENN! THANKS FOR SHARING❤️
Katie!
This is a really inspiring video! I have followed you for almost 3 years now and I can see how much you have matured along the way. Being a content creator and putting yourself on the internet is not easy. I hope you will keep soaring in the future and I look forward to watching more videos from you!
didn't know you had that much weight last year
lowkey thought the before picture was from your college days
Maya Adams same here! I kept watching her video since last year I think... I think her styling was the secret?
oh wow, 15 pounds looks like nothing on me (i'm 5'11)! so interesting to see how different people carry their weight!
im 5'1, being short like this 9 pounds makes a hugee difference already!
How tall is jen? 100 pounds is so tiny haha but it doesn't look like an unhealthy underweight for her
Bunny Jenn is about 5’1” so 100-105 is healthy weight for her!
I'm SO glad you mentioned that, because I'm a small framed person as well, so when I was 125 (due to medications), people thought I was pregnant. My natural weight was always 105ish, which people consider "underweight" by whatever standard they base that on.
Allison Chen thanks i was wondering the same thing. :)
This was such an amazing video jenn.
♥️😭the way you explained things and spoke about it was truly inspiring! Your so good with words . You’ve always been my favorite OG RUclipsr . Your growth is inspiring to me . Thank you ! 💕
My biggest and most successful realization when it came to my health and working out was accepting my body for the way it is. I don't mean not doing anything, I mean my body type and the way I carry weight. I used to idolize body-types that realistically I would never be able to achieve. I always hated my back, my arms, my shoulders, because I have a wider frame than someone like Jenn. I look a lot bigger in pictures with people who actually weight more than me, but have smaller shoulders, back, and chest than I do. I carry a lot of my weight up top, in my stomach and back, rather than my hips, butt, and thighs. And I also have super skinny calves (Jenn I know you talked about how you've felt self conscious about your calves before but I would love to have yours! It's always greener, right?) So, after I made this realization and accepted my body-type for what it was I was able to adjust my workouts and feel so much better about myself. I started idolizing more muscular people, like cross-fitters (although I never did cross-fit), and I joined the rowing team in college. I did a lot more strength training and a lot less cardio (but I worked in cardio by keeping my workouts high intensity). Despite all of this, I didn't get "bulky" (the dreaded word that a lot of women are afraid of when they start strength training) and I actually slimmed down a lot. I lost a lot of weight in my breasts too, which was pretty great while it lasted. Now that my novel is over, that's my advice, find peace in your body and body type and then go from there :)
The things that use to stop me was clothing: I always thought it was a waste of money and clothing to throw out the ones that didn't fit and buy new clothes. And sometimes when you donate clothing, it doesn't go anywhere or something.
I’m sorry but is that Pwark Jisung on your profile picture? 🥺💚
I see your comments everywhere on this video
@@coffeewithkarlie lmao I use to comment a lot when watching videos 💀
@@imnormal4409 sorry for the late reply but yes!!
Just found out about ur channel and i think the way you speak is really calming & natural! You were meant to be on RUclips, girl! Subscribed 💕
a pizzahut advertisement came up while i was watching this :\
Alexandria T sameeee
I think the japanese term is hara hachi bu :)
Oooooh! THANK YOU!
And it means "80% of your stomach"😊
yes!!hara hachibu me 腹八分目
Yes, 80% of your stomach, because when you 'feel' 80% full, you are actually 100% full, since your brain takes 20 minutes more to register it's full! (Confusing) :D It feels so satisfying when you get it right. :) Eating with chopsticks also makes you eat slower and concentrate on your food so you will feel full. :)
LifeOfRiza I'm Japanese and I was wondering what the word was haha😅 腹八分 yup 👍
This video really opened my eyes. I have really bad back pains and I’m not able to work out for a few weeks until my doctor allows me to do so. I’m so sad because of it and bored that I snack on everything that I have at home and that it’s starting to affect my mood and my body weight.
Only after this video I realized that I need to start looking after my physical and mental health a lot more by eating healthier, otherwise I’ll stay in this vicious cycle forever and it’s gonna take me years to recover from both things.
Also, you said something that’s really important, and it’s to find a deeper reason to become healthier. My reason is because I just simply want to be happier. I don’t want my mood to affect the way I live or my relationship with other people. I don’t want my loved ones to have to deal with my mental state. I don’t want to have to deal with it myself.
So thank you very very much for the message that you gave us, and sorry for any mistake while writing, English isn’t my first language 😊❤️
Already know that this video is amazing
Liked before watching
Jen: I work out for my mental health!
Me: I work out so I can eat more
tikanishewolf lol facts
Thats actually very unhealthy
Started my fitness journey just over a week ago, and I've already lost 5lbs! These tips are super helpful! Good luck to everyone! It really does help your happiness :)
After all is said and done, as long as you're in a caloric deficit you'll lose weight. It's that simple. People tend to over complicate with a ton of "strategies", but being in a caloric deficit is really all it takes. Now, if you're at your ideal weight and are looking to get leaner and build muscle, then you'll have to do more.
I think most people know that, just that people give up pretty quick. It's not just eating less it's also eating more complex carbohydrates instead of simple sugars. Most people are taught that fat makes them fat not that sugar also makes them fat. It really comes down to nutrition education and willpower
Question: What about metabolism?
+Kim95のHansei that plays a factor in knowing your TDEE so that you can more accurately calculate the deficit you need to shed the pounds
+wut dafuq there have been studies / documentaries where someone lived off Twinkies consuming less than they burned and lost weight 😋 you're right about nutrition...to really see substantial changes, nutrition plays a huge role
Calories aren't everything. If you're consuming fewer calories but have a high carb or fat intake, that definitely won't help. We need to encourage people not to just starve themselves to love weight but rather to pay attention to the ingredients and learn what everything means. It's really not that difficult to learn the basics.
