It was through you I found Bodyslims and I will be forever grateful. I have 1 lb to lose to get to my goal and I haven’t been this weight for 30 years. Thank you Carla, you’re not good or great, you’re brilliant! X
Awe you’re amazing Kerry! I’m so incredibly happy for you 🖤🖤🖤
I started at 132kg and i'm at 103 now. I have set my ultimate goal to something in the 70-something range. Achievable or not, i don't know, but it's the target i'm aiming at and working for. And that's probably where i will feel i don't need to loose more. But i'm doing it incrementally. My nearest goal is to go below 100Kg, two digits. Then i'll go in 5kg steps.
⭐️ 🌟 💫 I have done the same thing. As I lose pounds I keep my original goal of losing “15 pounds” because losing only 15 doesn’t feel as overwhelming as saying or thinking I need to lose 60. 4 sets of 15 seems easier than 60. I’m already over half way there. Thanks for your inspirational videos.
Congratulations!!! This inspires me. I also like to keep my goals to 10 or 15 lbs to shed, then keep going with another chunk , it does help mentally and physically !
I love how you talk about non food rewards and the non scales victories! I hope to be amazed someday by not having to lose weight!
It is the weirdest and hardest thing to choose to actually stop after a lifetime of trying
Never ever ever ever in my life did I feel I didn't need to lose weight. I can't imagine how fantastic that must feel. Starting BodySlims this Wed and sooo excited to reach for great. Thanks for all the inspo Carla :)
It’s the best feeling in the world Sinead xx
🌟🌟🌟 My original goal was to get to 92kg which is what I weighed when I got married. After Bodyslims and daring to dream my goal is to get to 55kg which is the middle of healthy range. I have no idea of sizes for clothes as I don't remember being a healthy weight in my adult life so I guess I'll find out when I get there! I started at 135kg so more than half of me to lose, 24kgs down so far. I crossed my legs for the first time the other day without thinking and let out a little happy squeak. Sitting comfortably in lotus position is next!
Ahhhh omg Deni I’m so happy for you, crossing legs is probably my fav nsv! I adore your dare to dream goal, it’s really a fantastic goal🙌🏼
huge congrats to you !!!! well done !!!!!
🌟 I decided on my goal weight of 140 lbs because when I was at 120 lbs I was too thin; and at 160 I felt too heavy. I'm currently at 300lbs. I just signed up for the next BodySlims cycle starting September 20, 2023!! 😊
As an older fan of yours, I just want to say: Keep having fun. Keep enjoying your good life.
We are of different generations, different cultures, different interest and different personalities, but you speak to me loudly and clearly. Many, many thanks. 💕
When I was 59kg people would call me fat. HA! I lost weight back then and went down to 57kg a UK size 10. One day I saw myself in a shop window and decided I looked too skinny. Ah the good old days 🙃. My favourite weight to be is between 59kg and 63kg more than 64kg I start to feel fat and don't fit in my clothes. At the moment I'm 81.5kg came down from 90.6kg and I'd be happy to be 75kg at the moment. Everything else will be a bonus. Ultimately I would like to get back to normal, definately 65kg which is 10 stone. Initially I'd just like to look normal so 74kg I should look normal.
I appreciate how transparent and honest you are ❤
You are such an inspiration. And love that you say there is more to weightloss than weight
⭐️ thank you Carla, the pictures were really helpful, just what I needed to visualise what I’m aiming for! And the advice to be bold is so true, works in all areas of our lives 💪🏻
⭐ You're so sorted, Carla - you talk total sense and it's just great to hear!
It's because of you I got up and started walking..thanks for being here ❤️
Your videos are so inspiring!!! I have almost the same amount of weight to lose and watching your videos have helped me so much. I’ll be back to share my success in losing half of my weight 🥳
Sadly, I do not have enough money to join Bodyslims, but your videos already helped me to stay motivated and to never give up. Thank you Karla ❤
Thank you for your time to share every step of the process- it’s so inspiring.
And I’m so happy for your happiness of seeing your own success.
I’m older than you but am sure, that doesn’t matter and I will get the results as you did.
⭐️🌟💫Thank you Carla your amazing. I’m starting body slims April 26th 2023 I’m very excited and nervous!! Thanks to you for all your wisdom I’ll update my goal weight on here.
Wow, those videos are amazing. You're very happy in the 140 lb and 154 lb videos but you're positively bubbling over with joy at the 168 lb lost video (and look awesome!). I'm seeing the same thing for myself recently. It's been very slow to see results but now that I'm at about 20% body fat (168 lbs, 78 lbs lost), every pound seems to make a big difference in how I look.
You’ve done amazing!! Well done!! 🖤🖤🖤
⭐️ thanks for sharing!!
⭐️🌟 Thank you Carla for explaining your goal weight. It really helped show that it can be chosen and set from so many different factors. You are a constant inspiration for me. Thank you always for your videos 😘
Thank you so much Gena 🖤
Love all the info and your videos, you are so strong and an inspiration to me! ❤️ I watch your videos for support on my journey
Thank you so much Ashley 🖤
⭐️ Thanks again!
Thank you always⭐️
This is a great video! I just started my weight loss journey 2 weeks ago, and I didn’t have a goal weight. Now I have one in mind, and I can always adjust it. I didn’t really weigh myself before, but I was weighed in February, and was unhappy I had gained weight since I last checked when I was newly postpartum a year ago. I was like 222. I haven’t weighed myself regularly, but I did yesterday, as I could tell I was losing weight and I would be happy to see that I wouldn’t be still up in the 200 pound range. I was 206 yesterday!
I am eating until satiated and am intermittent fasting for 16 hours a day, so my weight loss wasn’t unhealthy, but it seems like that is quite a lot of weight loss in 2 weeks if I had been at 222 two weeks ago (I definitely felt like I was still that heavy). I’m looking forward to being out of the 200s, hopefully within 2 weeks!
Unfortunately, my husband and I are going to start trying for our second in august, so hopefully I will be at a much better weight by then. I think I will be in a pretty good place by then.
Thank you for posting this, it’s motivating me to light a fire under me to get back on track for my goal. I made to one-derland and had slacked off the last 2 days. My weight goal is 120 pounds, it was the last known weight I remember feeling comfortable in my own skin. I’m getting more comfortable and feel more energetic . My highest weight was 228 and at 196-199 depending on day. I know being consistent is key. ⭐️⭐️🖤 when friends comment on weight loss and how I did it I tell them about your channel.
Yeay!! Welcome back to onderland 🖤🖤🖤
Loving your videos Carla, ive been losing weight for the past 8 weeks and so far lost 2 and a half stone, lots more to go but im really trying to focus on mental driven eating which ive never done before, onwards and downwards!!
Hi Carla, this is so helpful! I'm -12lbs into my 3 stone weight loss journey. I had a wake up moment when I went to the gp and he told me my blood pressure was up. He said it was a mixture of my weight and stress. I've been going to weekly therapy and finally feel like I can tackle my weight and keep it off. X
That’s amazing Rebecca well done! 🖤
Thanks for sharing your life and journey. You inspired me to join Bodyslims. Finishing the April course soon and have already enrolled in the September one. This course is so unique and really connects with me. I adore Gerard and his wit and incredible way of thinking. I learned all of this because of you. So happy for you, and yes, let us know about a membership! ⭐️👏🏻
Thank you so much Julianna 🙏🏻🙏🏻 I’m so happy Bodyslims is helping you and well done on signing up for Sept!
@Carla I really appreciate your videos so much. You are such an inspiration and you are also so down-to-earth and relatable. I think you are a lot younger than I am but I wonder if you think you’d ever dealt with any body dismorphia? When I look back at my health/weight journey, I think at my heaviest, I hadn’t entirely realized how overweight I was. Ironically, now that I’ve lost weight and gotten closer to my goal, I find myself at times more self conscious and sensitive about my size, which logically doesn’t really make sense. It throws me off by bumming me out but your talks are boosting my mood and approach again. Have you ever dealt with anything like this?
Thank you for all you share. 🌌🌠🌟✨💫
Great talk, by the way love the make up. Those completely appear to be your perfect colors if there is such a thing🌟
🌟 I've been watching your videos while working out at the gym. Very inspiring. I should probably listen when I'm grocery shopping too. I would probably make better choices.
Maybe I should do a podcast so you can? 🧐
Thanks Carla....super well done you ❤❤❤
Thank you so much, you’re amazing!! 🤗💜
🌟 🌙 Thanks so much for your videos, Carla. I've just quit a programme because the leader, who is otherwise lovely, just talks about the gain/loss and being positive. It has the same effect as telling a depressed person to just cheer up. I need to learn to show up for myself.
If you’re looking for a new program I can’t recommend bodyslims more 🖤
🌟love your openness 🌟
Thanks Carla fantastic update, you're brilliant ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐💪💪, plus you're comment previously about being able to cross legs really resonated with me, thank you you little ⭐⭐⭐
🖤🖤🖤
Hi Carla, I too am a few pounds off at the arbitrary figure I plucked as my goal weight. I have felt far more content about my size since fitting in a UK 14, I am now prob a UK12. I appreciate the goal weight that suited me a few years ago may not be the right figure now, x amount of years on. Like you, i too want to build some muscle once i reach maintenance, and I had forgotten it weighs more, so i do need to bear that in mind. Thank you for your video.
I would like to hear more of those journaling ideas!
⭐️ I should have known that you had already shared this valuable information! Thank you ⭐️
😂😂😂😂
I agree with you! I really dislike the BMI metrics! Congratulations 🎉 Carla!
🌟 Great topic 👏
I love watching your videos!! You are very motivating for me! to dream big...
Thanks Tanja x
Another great video! ⭐️🌙
Awe thank you Jess 🖤
hi Carla tks for sharing ur journey...u put in a lot of work and u deserve to be happy ...u always look great...🌠
Thank you Lynda 🖤
Thank you for this thought-provoking video. It made me really think about what my goal weight should be. I also really like how you went about deciding how much weight you needed to lose gradually. I'm 165 cm and 86 kg, and I think 55 kg would be a healthy weight to reach, but I might change my mind in the future if I feel comfortable and happy weighing a little more or a little less. ⭐
It’s important to stay flexible on your journey and “see” what happens and how you feel when you get there
Thanks
Thanks for some great information! I found you at the end of May of this year. I downloaded a calorie app (which is great!) and I have already lost 6.8 kg. I have about 25 kg to lose altogether and have found you so inspiring. Thank you. For the first time in my life I have a way that seems effortless to lose weight. Very sustainable. My plan is just to keep in a calorie deficit. A week ago, for the first time I went over my calorie goal, but it was easy to see things objectively and get back on track. Thanks for sharing your journey. You showed me that it is very possible to lose weight and keep it off.
🌜🌟
This is fabulous Anya, I’m so happy for you!! You’re doing amazing 🖤
@@HalfofCarla thank you so much!
⭐ That's awesome, Carla! Thanks for sharing. It all seemed totally relevant, so I didn't feel that you were rambling, at all. I really appreciate hearing your thought processes about both of your weight loss journeys. I have been overweight, since I was a child, so I'm not even sure what's possible, with this body, in terms of goal weight. I'm sure there are many others in a similar position. I was 295 pounds at my heaviest and I've considered trying to get to half of that, which would be 147.5 pounds. I don't know if that's Looney Tunes, LOL. I seem to have plateaued for the past few years, so under 200 seems like a good short-term goal, for right now.
⭐🌟🌠 Thank you Carla! This was helpful for me. I have been doing smaller goals and moving the goal posts a little each time. For instance, I am going on vacation in a couple months so I have a set weight in mind. I am being kind to myself and figure if I lose 1 pound a week then I will be at goal for that trip. Right now I am on track to pass my goal which makes me even more motivated.
I have a long ways to go but I plan on asking my doctor what she thinks a good final weight would be for me. I can guess but knowing will help.
That's wonderful, And checking with you doctor is always a great idea xx
🌟 🖤 I had a goal weight of 150, but after watching this and looking up bmi for height and age. I get to up my goal weight to 160 😊 but in the end, it will be where I feel healthiest, as I too, am interested in getting fit along with losing extra lbs. Have a lovely day 💐
💫You’re doing great and a baby is a blessing so don’t sweat it!⭐️🌟
⭐🌠🌠🌠 I always listen til the end! Really enjoying ur videos, THANK YOU, Carla!
I 'm in my mid-50's. I've shed 9.4 lbs and have another 13--22 pounds to go to make it to my goal weights. I set 2 numbers for that. The higher goal weight is good and is one I weighed in the past. The second number is still within my official healthy BMI range, and will be for, ,in case I want to keep going. ......perhaps after a chosen "plateau" ....to get used to it.
I thought of your videos and it MOTIVATED me to get in my 1 hr walk today, despite being much more tired and sleepy than usual. :) I am also getting into the joy of simple healthy cooking ....and colorful salads, thanks !!!! It is amazing how much junk food and sweets cravings have DIMINISHED since I cleaned up my diet and started a lil bit of intermittent fasting. Best of luck to ALL here , we CAN do it !!!!!
I know these numbers don't SOUND like much, after the GREAT amount Carla and many others have slimmed down. But it's a victory for me, because in the past year, I could not shed even 1 or 2 lbs, I kept yo-yo-ing the same 3 or 4 lbs...now (past 6 weeks) I am finally really moving in the right direction , .
🌟 i started a plan to just get under 200 lbs. I'm at 170 now and your video just inspired me to get to shoot for 130... which will be 100 lbs total! 😬👏🎉
You go for it Andrea!! Keep me posted on your progress!
⭐ thank you Carla you are very inspirational. Your imperial system is very weird though, the only numbers I honestly understood were the BMIs😅
So stone is 14 lbs of that helps x
🌟 thanks
⭐ Thanks again for the inspiration Carla! Do you feel that Body Slims would be just as successful for someone living in the States? You're inspiring me to give it a whirl. It's about the only program I haven't tried. 🖤
Oh god Yes Shannon!! I know tonnes of people in the states who are having epic results with it!! 🖤
Thank you 🔯
Just to clarify, muscle does not weigh more than fat. If you have 1lb of muscle and 1lb of fat they weigh the same. It's the volume of muscle that will be smaller and the volume of fat will be bigger.
FYI - the moon MUCH is closer lol.
Stars can be lightyears away!! :)
Of course you’re correct thank you for clarifying 🖤
🌟🐈⬛ Thank you so much!
You are so funny at the end of your videos… 💫😂🤣
Just my regular verbal diarrhoea 😂
I’m also not setting a large goal right now, trying to take it pound by pound and really just trying to get out of the obese BMI category ⭐️
It’s the best way to start!
How did you avoid prolonged plateaus??
🌟🌠💫 Shoot for the moon and you might reach the starts! ❤️
Carla, I’ve left Instagram so I can only catch your journey here but you are still as inspiring as ever and we’ve exchanged messages a few times over the 2 years!
Do you think women in their 50’s (me!) can achieve their dream weight without looking haggard/wrinkly in the face or losing too much muscle?
I absolutely can Brid! My sister was 49 when she lost 92 lbs and looks amazing! Also I’m on Facebook Uber halfofcarla if you have it Brid 🖤
I’d also like to be at the midway point of BMI but others saying that unless protein targets are met, I’ll lose too much muscle. How do you hit your protein goals?
@@bridobrien195 I’m in the same age group you are and had similar concerns. Last summer, I saw many people talk about losing lots of weight (100 pounds or more) while maintaining their skin tone. They were doing it with IF and some with low carb so I’ve been experimenting with that and it does seem to work (I lost 34 pounds last summer and losing the rest this year now). I’m also adding collagen powder to my coffee and I eat lots of eggs to keep my protein adequate. Good luck with your journey!
thanx star emogi
