as someone who lost 20 kilos over the last year, I agree with everything you say, but I will add that for me personally exercise is key, not because I burn so many calories, but because when I exercise a lot I naturally crave more healthy food, and thus it's much easier to eat well. when I don't exercise my diet slips as well. plus mentally I feel much better when I exercise a lot, and when I feel good mentally I take much better care of myself
I love this and completely agree! There are so so many benefits from exercise that help with weight loss in ways we might not think. I love how it is all interlinked and nothing is mutually exclusive! Well done on everything you have achieved, I am proud of you! x
I’ve tried losing weight before with just calorie counting , and if I did exercise I *thought* I wanted to do something I could zone out on- like a treadmill or stationary bike. But through you I discovered that I actually really enjoy body weight exercise and being mindful while training, feeling myself get stronger over time and learn new skills. It’s so true that the best exercise is the one you’ll do consistently and enjoy doing, and I’ve been doing calisthenics with your videos for almost 10 months now! Had to rest for a couple weeks over Christmas when I got Covid and I truly missed working out! Slowly easing back into it now 😀 I’ve lost about 25 lbs slowly the past year and I know it’s working better this time because of the muscle I’m gaining from calisthenics- I’d never done any strength training ever so it’s helped a lot!
I really needed to hear the beginning about routines. I can not stick to a routine to save my life. I struggle with this in all aspects of my life, but soooo much so with exercise routines. My husband has a strict regimen (he’s good with that in all he does😅) and I see him and his progress and get deflated so easily. This time, I’m not doing this to myself.. lol. Yesterday I had a big time rest day, today I’m forcing myself to move and doing what feels good today, tomorrow, we will see what it brings… lol. I just feel better knowing I’m not alone. Thank you! I love your videos and the info you share from your experiences.❤
I'm one of those people that refuses to do two trips for anything. But after starting a remote job, I've been struggling to stay active enough during work hours. The tip to just split a tast into multiple trips has REALY helped, I'm easily meeting my steps goal! (And dropping fewer things hahaha) Thanks Lucy!!!
Thank you for motivation and for reminding us, that most likely we wont see much difference in 6-8weeks. I am in week 8 and there is no weight loss yet. I just need to stay persistent. ☺️
I've never regretted watching any of your videos because they all hold right and supportive as realistic as practical, not bla bla bla or boring non-sense redundant .. Thank you Lucy, very well done! A scientist review ;)
I struggled with my weight for a long time, trying different diets and exercises but nothing seemed to work. I felt self-conscious and unhappy with my appearance. I finally decided to make a change and found a weight loss program that was tailored to my needs. With determination and consistency, I lost the weight and felt happier and healthier than ever before.
Lovely tips and encouragement!! I have watched some of your previous videos and implemented your suggestions and I already lost about 8lbs. Thanks so much for being a realistic fitfluencer!!
I just love your videos, the way you are, just that ! What works the best for me was cutting out ALL unatural food such as processed foods, processed and added sugar. I eat what comes from the earth. Not vegan or vegetarian but wholefood and local and that changed EVERYTHING for me. I run two or three times a week but it varies and sometimes I just don't want to work out but I do it at least two-three times a week. And yes nutrition changes the game !
Honestly, i was at my lowest the other day when i feel frustrated coz i can’t do a kick up to handstand. Cried myself out and watch your videos again and brought back myself up. Thanks for reminding me to remember the reason why we are doing workout and to have fun always. Everytime i feel demotivated i will just get back to you and feel inspired again. Please keep on sharing your videos
Strength training is helpful because as we lose weight, we lose muscle mass as well. If you don‘t have a lot of muscle mass to begin with, you might become skinny fat. I used to be there. Feeling super weak was the consequence. Only when I started strength training, I actually felt good in my body and therefore more confident.
Hey Lucy, I’ve just decided that alongside my weightloss I really want to get into calisthenics due to your inspiration. My coach is excited as my goal isn’t just physique 😊 I love your healthy approach 💪🏻
This video is so informative and inspiring. Right now my biggest goal is to get back down to my weight I was before I had my baby. One year postpartum, I have lost inches here and there but no real weight loss. My fitness journey has definitely been an adjustment.
Extremely informative video. I've been on my weight loss journey for the last 1,5 years, and although the first 6 months came easy to me and I was able to lose 20 kilos in that period of time, the last year has been a real struggle to me. You helped me realise what makes me struggle so much - it's being results-oriented. I've been putting too much pressure on seeing the results which not only stresses me out but also discourages me from continuing when I don't see any weight changes (happened to me recently when my weight stayed the same for two weeks which made me feel like giving up and I ended up going well over my calorie limit for almost a week). Meanwhile it's habits-orientation what helped me to keep going and lose 20 kilos in the first 6 months. My attitude was much more easy-going and I was thinking to myself that it doesn't matter if I lose weight or not, I just need to eat the right foods in order to stop gaining weight, and if I do lose some weight, it will only be a bonus. I need to bring this mindset back to my life (I'd like to lose at least 20 kilos more). ;) Thanks a ton!!
Loved this so much Lucy! You have helped me realise why I get stuck at maintenance and how I don't need to feel guilty around the type of exercise I do! I adore yoga because I can slowly see progress but mainly how good it makes me feel BUT told myself for ages I need to do more "intense" workouts that I didn't really enjoy! Lots of notes taken 🥰
I don't know if this would help anyone else (or maybe I'm just weird), but after getting sick and drinking a lot more tea than my usual I found myself easily consuming warm/hot water even after getting better. Finding something that is comforting to consume even if there is no flavor has encouraged me to go from maybe 2 cups of water each day to 2L minimum without much effort.
I am tired of over eating at night and sabotaging my weight loss journey and eating so many calories but I’m doing the best I can do with what I have. I started meal prepping. Just the over eating at night I need to stop. Tomorrow is weigh in day at doctor office. I will see if I lost weight in a month. Or gained more weight
An awesome, encouraging and very motivating video with no big pressures. I am on a diet right now and yes, the struggle is real when you do it the old fashion way. But, I am excited for my progress in my journey. This helped me to feel I don’t have to be perfect!!! Your great 😊 ❤
They say you lose weight in the kitchen. I lost a lot of weight years ago by going to the gym for at least 3 hours a day and eating extremely low portioned low calorie foods. The moment I couldn’t sustain working out 3 hours a day and eating very low calories I gained all my weight back and more. once i started to eat food i could sustain and moderately work out, my weight came off but slowly which was ok. i lost 60 pounds over 6 years, I have a way to go but sustainability is key!
It's definitely possible, I wish you all the best & your going to reach your goal, I'm on a weight loss journey I'm on a journey to lose 100lbs & I'm jumping in head first!!
Definitely one of my favourite fitness RUclipsrs. Yes, you do recycle the messages a lot (hello algorithm and content) but they are the right things to recycle 💁♀️
Thank you so much! I agree my messages are quite repetitive! I just always hope it will fall in the right persons screen to help in some way. I would love to know what else you would enjoy watching if you have any suggestions? x
I am SOOOOOOOO happy I found your channel! I started my RUclips body and soul transformation channel this November (2022). I am constantly looking for ways to make "this time" sustainable. Thank you so much for the beautiful and realistic advice you give on this video. I love your upbeat and uplifting personality!!! NEW SUB!!! Can't wait to keep learning from you!
Hi .) I love your channel and find your advice really helpful, I have a question regarding exercise though. You keep mentioning in your videos, that one doesn't need to do any exercise to lose weight and I get your point that you do not need it in order to be in a caloric deficit. I've heard from different sources however, that building muscle helps burn fat more effectively and if you only eat in a caloric deficit without any exercising, you will gain your weight back more easily. They say, that if you replace fat with muscle + eat in a caloric deficit, you will be able to maintain your new weight and will burn more calories. What's your opinion on this? Thanks!
Hey Annemarie thanks for your question. In essence yes you are absolutely correct. Muscle mass require your body to use more energy than fat mass therefore if you increase your muscle mass your total daily energy expenditure increases. For that reason it helps with fat loss (remembering that building muscle takes a long time so long term thinking) by increasing your TDEE, therefore making the deficit bigger but more importantly when you move to maintenance your TDEE and therefore calories will be higher if you have more muscle mass. There are also lots of other benefits to having more muscle mass so is always a great goal to work on! Hope that helps :D xx
As a fellow personal trainer and dietitian i would say that everything you say is true . But … exercise DOES help with appetite control AND obviously it will be a lot easier to lose weight .
I agree with everything except for the exercise part... yes it's not as important as nutrition, but it's imo much more important than what you said in the video... 5% of the calorie burned is too low imo... would say close to 25%
I've read somewhere that this unconscious movement like when sitting and being bored - I don't know if it has a special name to it - burn up to 500 calories a day. So may be those people that seem to not gain weight no matter what they eat just do more of this unconscious movement?
Ahaha, the curse of weight loss is not knowing how to dress yourself even many many years later! I feel like I have my own style allbeit very boring which I always joke about! I would be down for trying something new though 😂

Right now I am trying to just get back into a fitness routine and to eat healthy. Focusing on calorie cutting always drives me crazy. Lovely video!
Thank you, you've got this for sure! xx

It’s just science…
However, exercise also influences your posture, your hormones etc. , so there are lots of secondary benefits.
Hi Lucy
Can a 16 years old do calisthenics like pushups and pull up...read somewhere that it stops height growth?
That’s just a myth
@Joanna Whittle Thank you for the advice...will keep in mind!!😊
❤ I want to see more of the huge cat 🐈⬛
Ahaha... noted!
Yes!!
I've read somewhere that this unconscious movement like when sitting and being bored - I don't know if it has a special name to it - burn up to 500 calories a day.
So may be those people that seem to not gain weight no matter what they eat just do more of this unconscious movement?
