I love the fact that she took accountability for her own actions, instead of throwing the blame on someone else for the way her life was… Accountability is such a beautiful thing unfortunately it’s lacking in these generations
Leila, you're helping a lot of people, including me, sharing your real and HARD EARNED knowledge, experience, and wisdom about everything you've achieved and overcome. You're a real inspiration. Love you! 👍🔥❤️
I think if Leila published a book about self-improvement like life, mental attitude, and leadership ... it will also be a massive success. Her story and the things she share on media are incredibly insightful I would love to read it too in addition to videos
Girl.. I'm speechless. I can identify with you to a T and I'm at the stage where I ready to turn this life of mine around. I came across you at the exact right moment and thank you for your inspiration and helping me sharing the tools you used to overcome what's been my so called life. I never made it because I would always make it tomorrow but right now tomorrow is today and I can feel it in my mind body and soul that I have officially leveled up and I will continue to do so. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
I AM exactly 222 watching this. Down 18 pounds. Been overweight off and on my entire life. Lose it all gain it back plus some. I’m glad for this video. Must keep watching 🙏🏾
I LOVE how Leila looks at the horizon trying to remember details of her story. 👏👏👏 One of the women I admire the most. An example of life and entrepreneurship for all.
Leila, this is LEGIT what I needed to hear. I’m currently 222 maybe that’s why it hit me so hard. I took the day off and I’m at the gym watching this. Last summer I lost 30 pounds and gained it all back. It used to be so easy for me to get to 170 and now I’m 35 and I’m 222. I don’t know what the hell my issue is but your right-stop complicating the process and just go do it! Thinking about hiring my old coach back-the accountability really helped me. I have 2 successful businesses and my body needs to keep up with my ambition and growth:) thank you for sharing your story! So much love to you and Alex!
Used to be 250, did keto and turned my life around. All about diet, I lift as well and do cardio, helps your organ health but it's really all about diet. Eat healthy foods you enjoy (what keto was for me - they have keto breads and stuff) and you'll come to appreciate healthy foods and what it takes to take care of your body. I've learned a lot about vitamins and nutrients and seeing my hair grow, muscles grow etc over time, I've come to appreciate eating healthy. I still eat junk like keto ice cream bc it works for me, but it fits into my calories for the day and I mostly eat stuff that focuses on my protein and vitamin/mineral intake. Find what works for you. It doesn't have to be miserable, eat healthy alternatives, watch your calories and weigh your food.
Leila, i dont know why when you went through this story about how hard it was for you, i just instantly started to cry with you. God you are such a strong willed woman! im sooo happy life has turned around for the better. god bless and I pray it continues this way for you and your husband
I've never been interested in bikini modeling myself haha, but your honest delivery of how you went about solving your own obstacles is very relatable, and the processes you've used that still benefit you to this day is inspirational! Tons of value here, Leila! 💰
Yall was doin the business at the table and broke the glass.. Story made me tear up, knowing that you used to be chubby is actually very motivational because it makes me believe that I can achieve your level of fitness. Thank you for sharing!
This is what I needed to hear. I am in the process and was starting to lose motivation as I’m alone in my process to better health and more confidence. Thank you
I have always wanted a role model that is easily relatable yet also someone who is an example of the positive consequences of accountability, resilience and perseverance. You are definitely it! I have binged so many of your videos and want to make a change ASAP. Thanks Leila ❤
I love❤ you Leila - like a bromance. I came to you via Alex but your insights are just as powerful if not more so. Your emotional vulnerability and insights is helping the world. God bless 😘
This was so genuine and you definitely helped me today. I am struggling with my weight and have been for over a year and a half. That impossible feeling is so heavy and it's nice to hear that everyone feels it. Thank you for spreading real love and joy. 💝
This is such a valuable story, thank you. I’ve been working so hard for what seems like forever to change multiple areas of my life and sometimes I just want to give up. This has really inspired me to keep going. Thank you! ❤
I found you and your husbands channels right when I knew SOMETHING had to change. Still don’t know exactly what I’m doing and where I’m going but I know I can’t stay here! And I feel like you guys are so much more relatable than these other “financial gurus” who just tell you to smile and wave love how real you keep it! Please don’t stop blessing us with all this wonderful content ❤
I’m so grateful I found this video. I had landed on a whole entire different topic from your videos but scrolled and found it. Iam literally stepping into this kind of awakening to where I’m so over my own shit. I gained so much weight and literally felt everything you said. Seeing how you got through it was liberating! Congratulations! and thank you for sharing your inspiring transformation!
thank you for sharing this story with us. I'm on a journey to lose 100lbs and walk the stage... I was feeling defeated about it but thank you so much... i really needed this tonight. you are amazing
You are such a role model for me Leila ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ as someone who doesn’t have many friends I watch your videos for motivation and a reminder not to give up! Love you so much 💘💘💘
Okay this is so timely. I was just working out, finishing off with running on the treadmill, and to distract myself I usually watch videos. I watched the one you had on teams, as although I've led and managed hundred of employees for the past decade, this is the first time I'm leading people for my own business and wanted to see your take! And I SWEAR I WAS HOPINH YOUD MAKE A MORE IN DEPTH VIDEO ON YOUR FITNESS JOURNEY TOO 🥵 And I come to my feed to see this. Sending you so much power and love all the way from Montreal.
Thank you for sharing this! As someone who has gone through a similar journey with weight loss, I can 100% relate to this. It's one of your best videos! Keep up the amazing work!
She’s actually pretty amazing and wise. Thanks for the useful and encouragement advice. It’s time to start actively making difference in my own life. 😮
Thank you for making this video! I’m about to have my fourth baby and I have big dreams for my career to provide for my family. I’ve shown myself I can do hard things with my children beside me. One more baby won’t change that! I can still do hard things!!
Woah, I didn't know you're a bronco! I studied at KVCC. You have killer dedication, and I admire that. Thanks for sharing everything, Leila. I'm currently working on two business plans, I will be looking forward to your content for help!
This was a great one Leila. I have been consuming your content and it’s quite brave of you to share such a vulnerable season in your life. Thank you for inspiring me ❤
One of my biggest fears and insecurities is someone thinking or saying "shame.." exactly how Leila describes it happening to her and it NEVER occured to me to think "they're right" this blew my mind. I wish I knew this years ago. Thank you for sharing such a vulnerable story.
This is great - I watch Alex's shorts, etc... and saw this. I have a 4 daughters. My oldest; smart, beautiful, fun, natural born leader - currently struggling due to self stuff. I'm sending her this. By the way, saw you and Alex once at FHL. I had now idea who you guys were, but I saw you both at the reg desk across the room and I was like, who are those rock stars? Great presence both of you. Anyway, Thank you for this video!
I love this story. My issue personally is that I've grown to not care at all what others think of me. It seems as though you were fueled by the opinions of others (both positive and negative). I wish I had a 'fuel source' that kicked me in the butt like that!
Anger motivated me as well. The anger from being at that stage. I just think about how I don't wanna get that way anymore, emotionally and physically. It's not about being positive and projecting being happy and skinny, it's about how I WILL NEVER let myself get in that amount of sadness and emptiness I felt!
Thank you Leila. I needed this. This made me cry a bit. I'm in a really bad place right now even though it's so comfortable. Keep it up. You and Alex are like a mother and father to me.
MY opinion. You don't have to agree with it, but I'd like to share it: It is true that you have lost a lot of weight compared to the "Before" picture. However, I personally believe the person depicted in that "Before" picture has a more beautiful face, mainly because it looks a lot more natural. You don't have to have a face full of heavy makeup, fake lashes, fake lips (fillers), square brows?, dark shadows, etc. to be beautiful. In fact, it seems like if these things are a requirement for you to feel beautiful, then you don't actually believe yourself that you are beautiful in the first place.. And if you keep using them over and over, then it must mean that you believe they are something that you *Need.* Be proud of what you've accomplished. Be proud of your beautiful progress, and don't be afraid to show the world! You don't need to hide it behind all these superficial elements. Just my 2 cents. You're welcome to challenge me in the comments ;)
Your story is so motivating. But I'm 62. Covid ruined my lungs, and I can no longer do cardio. My joints are bad. Weeks of hospitalization left me loosing almost a pound of muscle a day, and as soon as I was back home, I gained 50 back. Now it is almost impossible to lose it. I'm lifting at home, walking backwards to help my knees, walking the dog every day, but it's ridiculous at this point in my life. I need support and help, I think, to overcome all of this. It makes me feel weak, and I hate that.
Leila you’re setting a new precedent for women, bc it’s been lost on society these days, I really admire you. You are what a real feminist should be like, not entitled and bratty and unreasonable like many women unapologetically think is normal. Thanks for putting your content out there for free, means a lot 😊
Hi Leila. This was such a great video. You are such a strong woman and to see you being vulnerable was so beautiful. Not that I want you to feel vulnerable but showing your strength in your sharing was what made it so cool. Thank you for being such a beautiful, inspirational young woman. ❤️
Of the little that I know of you off of public postings, going through so many glow ups across various disciplines (including this one), that is fucken incredible!
I like your sense of humor 🤣💗, glad you can laugh at yourself. Sometimes it's better than to cry . Rooting for you. Thanks for being an inspiration and being strong and consistent!!! ⭐
It takes no effort to be a negative jerk. It takes a great person to turn negativity into something positive and self empowerment.
We all needed a female entrepreneur role model ❤️ and you're the one Leila
Yes, minus the bad language though
You must be a saint who has never cursed in your life.
Absolutely. She’s such an inspiration, different, straight forward, amazing, beautiful, smart, freaking successful, and dea honest. Love her!♥️
I love the fact that she took accountability for her own actions, instead of throwing the blame on someone else for the way her life was… Accountability is such a beautiful thing unfortunately it’s lacking in these generations
Leila, you're helping a lot of people, including me, sharing your real and HARD EARNED knowledge, experience, and wisdom about everything you've achieved and overcome. You're a real inspiration. Love you! 👍🔥❤️

Leila, this is one of the most powerful messages you have done. Thank you for showing this side of you and being vulnerable with us. Love you
The fact that you blacked out shows how courageously you stepped out of your comfort zone. It’s pretty amazing.
I LOVE how Leila looks at the horizon trying to remember details of her story. 👏👏👏
One of the women I admire the most. An example of life and entrepreneurship for all.
Every video I see from you reminds me of why I’m doing what I’m doing. I’m just so motivated by you and I can’t thank you enough!
More women need to be exposed to you because of how strong of a role model you are. Kudos. good things happen to good people

Hope you're still grinding in the process. And if not, just get back up on the horse :)
Hit like and Reminding you.

Leila, these personal stories are just hitting different, keep em coming please
That's why you both husband and wife are loved so much 💖... its because of your authenticity, good nature, and transparent heart ❤️
You and Alex sharing your insecurities to help and inspire other people even though you don't really need to, is your greatest achievement.
Thanks.
Leila, i dont know why when you went through this story about how hard it was for you, i just instantly started to cry with you. God you are such a strong willed woman! im sooo happy life has turned around for the better. god bless and I pray it continues this way for you and your husband

I was about to roast you thinking you were a fat Karen but after reading your comment I feel that
brotha, me neither! Lmao
Thank you for being a woman that I, as a father, can point my daughters towards as a positive role model.
Yall was doin the business at the table and broke the glass..
Story made me tear up, knowing that you used to be chubby is actually very motivational because it makes me believe that I can achieve your level of fitness. Thank you for sharing!
I love how you are just real as FXXK ..... you communicate so cleatly and honestly it makes me hang on every word you say
This is what I needed to hear. I am in the process and was starting to lose motivation as I’m alone in my process to better health and more confidence. Thank you

Had me tearing up near the end. Thank you for sharing your story Leila.
This is such a valuable story, thank you. I’ve been working so hard for what seems like forever to change multiple areas of my life and sometimes I just want to give up. This has really inspired me to keep going. Thank you! ❤
Leila!! When you paused and said a big b*tch ... I died laughing... Your self-awareness, insight, and comedic timing are amazing!! More please!
Haha same.. I had just taken a sip of water and it almost went flying out of my mouth when she said that 😂😂
I found you and your husbands channels right when I knew SOMETHING had to change. Still don’t know exactly what I’m doing and where I’m going but I know I can’t stay here! And I feel like you guys are so much more relatable than these other “financial gurus” who just tell you to smile and wave love how real you keep it!

I do appreciate the sharing of how you felt about yourself .
Your advice is practical, realistic, and focuses on self responsibility without shaming people and having compassion. What a refreshing channel!

Favorite video of Leila so far. Thank you for sharing your story!
the hard times create the skills to become the person i always wanted to be
I always love your honesty and keeping everything real.
I love you so much for releasing this video. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I really needed to hear this xoxo
I always love your business content. But this is probably my FAVORITE video from you. Thanks for sharing. You freaking Rock!
It is the journey that is important. Not reaching the goal.
🔥🔥🔥What a dope story. The thing I like about your channel is your ability to tell stories that have an impact.
Didn't expect to cry a little in this video. Thank you for your vulnerability and courage.
More of this please! You’re an enormous inspiration. 🤍
This was a great one Leila. I have been consuming your content and it’s quite brave of you to share such a vulnerable season in your life. Thank you for inspiring me ❤
This is such a beautiful story. You made my day.
It's not often that I cry watching a RUclips video... thank you for sharing, Leila :)
I really appreciate the honesty and vulnerability.. thank you Leila
This is such a great video, thank you. I am trying to better myself and every video you have seems to cover another angle!
Thanks for all you do
One of my biggest fears and insecurities is someone thinking or saying "shame.." exactly how Leila describes it happening to her and it NEVER occured to me to think "they're right" this blew my mind. I wish I knew this years ago. Thank you for sharing such a vulnerable story.
Wow, I needed to hear this today. Thank you for posting this video and congratulations on all your success.
Thank you. I've been panicking looking through jobs. But I don't want to give up. I want to see this through.
Thanks, Leila, for sharing your heartfelt story with us! I've been getting a kick out of learning more about you and Alex and your journeys! 😎
Dammm the end got me 😢 wow - what a great video. Thanks Leila, I’m inspired to be better 🤝
Alex is extremely fortunate that you guys found each other.
This is great - I watch Alex's shorts, etc... and saw this. I have a 4 daughters. My oldest; smart, beautiful, fun, natural born leader - currently struggling due to self stuff. I'm sending her this.

Every great person starts off this way.
Thank you Leila. I needed this. This made me cry a bit. I'm in a really bad place right now even though it's so comfortable. Keep it up. You and Alex are like a mother and father to me.
💜💜💜
thank you for your story ❤
Your story gave me chills!! 😢 I hope to reach this one day!! You are so gorgeous and a inspiration!! Thank you for sharing ❤
This was by far one of your best videos.

Thank you very much for sharing your transformation journey! Very inspiring!
Brava. Very inspirational video! And I love that you said there is no, poof, you just move onto the next step.
Girl I subscribed 😭 thank you for showing up for yourself and now us ❤
Your story is so motivating. But I'm 62. Covid ruined my lungs, and I can no longer do cardio. My joints are bad. Weeks of hospitalization left me loosing almost a pound of muscle a day, and as soon as I was back home, I gained 50 back. Now it is almost impossible to lose it.

How are you doing?
thank you for sharing this in detail so powerful and helpful I’m 66 lbs overweight with diabetes now
You’re amazing Leila!! 🎉 I hope I can meet awesome people like you to grow with in my life, love your mindset.
Very inspiring, thank you for sharing!
Thank you, Leila!!! ❤
You're amazing ❤. Thank you for sharing your story 🔥🌹🌹🌹
Wow! An inspiring story and thank you for sharing Leila 🙏🏻
Leila you’re setting a new precedent for women, bc it’s been lost on society these days, I really admire you. You are what a real feminist should be like, not entitled and bratty and unreasonable like many women unapologetically think is normal. Thanks for putting your content out there for free, means a lot 😊
Feminism is about women's right, isn't it?
@@BowlerTheHatGuy used to be. It’s been subverted to give women a pass to become exactly the thing they claim they hate about men.
Hi Leila. This was such a great video. You are such a strong woman and to see you being vulnerable was so beautiful. Not that I want you to feel vulnerable but showing your strength in your sharing was what made it so cool. Thank you for being such a beautiful, inspirational young woman. ❤️
Amazing, i feel so proud of you!!
Loved the video! Thank you so much for sharing it! Very inspirational!
❤️😭Thank you for sharing your story ❤️

I like your sense of humor 🤣💗, glad you can laugh at yourself. Sometimes it's better than to cry . Rooting for you. Thanks for being an inspiration and being strong and consistent!!! ⭐
Happy for you to have drawn a line in the sand and made it happen. Great video…thanks Leila 😊
I relate to you so much! I’m so thankful for your honesty and vulnerability
I have had a girl friend with a same story. The difference was that I was saying how proud I'm of her etc etc.
You are amazing, Leila 🌟! Thank you for sharing with vulnerability and BEing an inspiration 💕🙏.
Thank you so much for your story Leila. It really resonated with me and gives hope.
