I needed this ive been over eating the past two weeks and ive been so depressed earlier today i was thinking of giving up on weight loss but im just going to keep going and do better
If you want real change then it's not going to be about a diet or an exercise regimen, it's about a whole lifestyle shift!!! How can you quit on that! Jillian is right, quitting is not an option!!💪🏼
My why: To feel like myself again after having a baby. I used to be so confident and happy with my body, but since having a baby 5 years ago, I never quite felt like myself again. I was 15lbs heavier than I’ve ever been (other than when I was pregnant), and it was depressing. I did keto for 2 years without exercise, and I lost a tiny bit of weight but I didn’t look (or feel) thinner or more confident. When Covid hit I needed to reevaluate my priorities, and for the first time since becoming a mom, fitness was a top priority 👏 as was eating whole foods and aiming for around 1,400 calories/day. I now work out 5 days a week-HIIT twice a week and strength training 3 days. I also focus on moving more, going on walks with my family, playing ball in the backyard with my little guy. It’s amazing! Thank you Jillian. I love watching your videos. You really inspire me.
I'm trying to recover from my eating disorder and as hard as this was to listen to because it home alot, i needed to hear this and I just wanted to thank you x
Lost .5lbs in a week and I was SO UPSET because I had been counting and doing cardio and really changing things. But I remember you saying the scale does down, not up its a victory. And then I watched this video (for the 3rd time) and realized hey it's going the way it needs to, I gotta keep moving forward. No other choice! Thank you.
This has always been my struggle. I have always struggled with my self worth. I was bullied and sexually harassed from a very early age in school. It actually all started around the time I was in 4th grade. After years of all the fat comments being drilled into your mind, you eventually become to believe it. I was suicidal at 16, and have struggled with suicidal thoughts off and on since then, thats just over 15 years of this. I lost a lot of the weight 3 years ago, but put it back on when life got really hard, really suddenly. But I want to take back that ground, and finish what I started. I don't want to quit. I want to feel worth it. I have been binging your videos and gaining inspiration from your time on the biggest loser for the last several weeks, but I am terrified that I am going to give up. I am a little country girl, that doesn't really have friends or family support. My support is pretty much 100% from these videos. I need this for my health, physical and mental. I want to succeed.
I love this. My period is coming this week. I’ve been emotional and stressed the hell out and I ended up stress eating last night. I felt really bad about it but this is a great reminder that one bad day is not the end.
Needed to hear this! It's been a stressful month and I feel off balance with my health and fitness goals, but i'll be damned if i through in the towel. I just have to push harder and remember why I started. Thank You!
I really needed this Jillian. You are the reason I ever learned about fitness and calories back when I was 21, you are the one who has made the most important tools that have enabled me to tackle excessive weight gain so many times, but my biggest downfall is always giving up on myself after some time. I've got so disheartened after these last few years for a few reasons that I've almost totally taken my hands off the wheel of everything in life. Now I've just lost my daughter to foster care and it all feels like it's going to be too hard to be mentally well enough to have her back again. Antidepressants don't work for me, only exercise does. I've just been trying to psych myself up to starting the exercise again, but it's been very hard because I'm grieving right now. Giving up altogether is trying to tempt me but I want a real life someday, one with my baby girl in it. I have to start loving myself enough to take care of me.
Thank you are so right, giving up is not an option. I feel stupid for not seeing this truth. I broke my leg this year and it has been such a struggle because of my Muscular Dystrophy I just have been so depressed
She is the only fitness guru which is legit. People keep giving her backlash just cause she doesn't sugarcoat things. She's saying the truth and that's what all of us deserve. All these other influencers say that it's okay and you're fine when YOU want to change and that's just a toxic cycle.
I had a major screw up at work this month and I thought about quitting... Woops That why, even though I'm not overweight, I go back to listening to her from time to time.
Thank you Jillian! You are the best! I had a major surgery right after I started and have been struggling to start again. My why is I do not want to be in a wheelchair before I am 50 and dead before 60. If I don't get back on the horse I will be. Thank you!
Glad you are talking about this. I feel all this week I’ve been doing everything you suggest and haven’t seen any change. But the bright side is at least I haven’t gained .
Taking from some of the things Jillian said, it can be summed up as the practice of self-compassion (google book with that title). Self-compassion builds resilience, battle self-pity, and studies have shown that it's effective in managing obesity, as obesity is a mindset surrounded by self-pity and negative thoughts.
Ok since you read these i want to give an update on my progress. I hit a plateau a couple of weeks ago. So, I didn't exercise for 5 days, ate sensibly but didn't count calories. After 5 days I restarted my exercise with your cardio kickboxing and your lift programs. In 3 weeks I have lisr 5.6 lbs, I feel re-energized and excited again. You are my inspiration, how good I feel about myself is my motivation. Also my new bikini helps also,😆 Thank you for the encouragement and the kick in the butt! Love you Jillian.
❤thank you!! I love this!! It's like if you say I'm losing weights compared to I'm getting rid of weight. When you lose something you want it back. When you get rid of something you don't want it back. I probably learned this from you idk but It stuck to me.💙
I am just now listening to your channel and I’m kicking myself for not listening to you a lot sooner. Thank you Jillian I needed to hear this, I am gonna get it together👏👏
I really need that today ! Sometimes life seems to be to hard to handle and the easiest way to survive is to hide yourself under the blanket 🥺 And that’s okay. Take care of your inner child. And then shake those emotions off and do The Work. Never quit on yourself 💪 Thank You Jillian ❤️
I just can't get enough of you. You have know idea how much you inspire me. I have learned SO MUCH from your videos. You tell it like it is, no sugar coating b.s. without being super mean. Aggressive, but not mean, if that makes sense. As a kid and teenager, I was always very active. i was fit and didn't even try. I have always been naturally strong physically and mentally. However, I let life keep me down far too long. I gave up on myself and hated every second of it. I got married, had kids,and lost myself any many was afterwards. The only thing I had left was being a good mom and wife. Top priority, period... i absolutely loved that part of my life,but as for what i wasn't doing for myself, nope... I didn't realize it until a few years ago that everything in my way was me not being happy with myself, not loving myself, and not taking care of myself. People don't seem to realize that your health and the things you choose to do with your body has a huge impact on your family. I don't think I've ever heard many people say, hey, I realize I'm not being myself, and its hurting everyone around me. Like that's not considered a real problem. Only things like being a criminal or an addict ever gets pointed out as the demise of marriages and broken relationships with whomever and whatever. But I see it this way, if you can't or won't take care of yourself properly, then you aren't taking care of them properly either. Being depressed, lazy,and careless is very much a learned behavior on the side of not making the effort to fix it. I don't just want my kids to grow up and have learned the dos and don'ts of everyday life. I don't want to send them out there without a model of good health and a vibrant and active life. Kids do as they see, not as their told. My "why" isnt singular, its too much to ever explain. You woke up the beast in me! I went from " touch my food and you'll pull back a nub to knocking junk food out their hands saying get outta my face with that!I am worth it, and I can do ANYTHING!Thank you for everything you do and for really caring . Sorry for the book. Lol
In the most respectful way ....I think I just fell in love. This is a conversation we have been having with our son who is in Taiwan( away from his cushy Canadian lifestyle) and struggling. It isn't an option to give up. My dad instilled this in me when as a young person I would get weary in dealing with my type 1 diabetes and want to give up. It just wasn't an option get out of bed get to school do your homework continue on sweetheart is what he would say. This is one of your best videos and I will be sharing to our son
So many of us really needed to hear this! I’m just about to start out . I’d lost my gf to cancer and want to be a healthier me . It’s something she wanted for me.
Thank you for delivering this critical message with such clarity and impact! I loved the car, work, and parent analogies. This video made it totally click in my mind/heart that quitting is not even an option. A-ha moment!!! I understand now. I saved this video and will rewatch it when I need to remind myself of this reality and my WHY. Sending you my best wishes and gratitude.
Evening jillian ..my new year has started with a bang... went bike riding and came off in the cold conditions..now I have a broken fibula. Lower ankle.. 6 weeks in the boot. 😡
Thank you Jillian. I have had some major back pain and sciatic issues after being like "Enough!" and choosing to be healthy. It is hard work to break every habit. The pain in having is unbearable and I know it's because of my weight after being 340 lbs for nearly three years. My joints are screaming. I don't want to say I'm sorry I just want to do it!
I needed that kick in the butt!!! Thank you Jillian for helping me reminding that “ not quitting” is not cause to celebrate bc it shouldn’t come to mind!! Just get up, dust the sprinkles off my face and get back on track!!! Thank you thank you!!
Excellent framing. I have been thinking that my body will never get better. I work on better health each day. Progress is slow but there is progress. Meditative practices work well to keep the mind calmer so that better decisions are made.
Hi Jillian, I can't remember which video of yours it was, but about 8 years ago I was listening and you said something that really struck me: "What if you do nothing?" It was the shock I needed and I've never forgotten it. For so many reasons this year, I've let my health slide and given myself excuses for one thing after another. I realize how stupid that is. After seeing this video and message, I feel that fire again of how important it is to take care of ourselves. Thank you for sharing your wisdom and taking the time to make this video. Happy Holidays!
I love you and I've been following you since you first started working with Biggest Loser. In many ways I belive we are very similar. I do know we have a very similar coaching style where we are (sometime brutally) honest and call it for what it is etc... Maybe it's our military background (I'm first woman in Sweden to become navy seal). Love this talk, and I strongly agree...but...this mentality almost cost me my life. Heck, I actually died once...CPR...etc etc and I lived. Obviously! I bring this "giving up is NOT an option" to every part of my life. I was in an abusive relationship wich was really bad, I don't want to upset people with details, but I was hanging on, not giving up, waiting for that "fantasy - happy - future" that he kept promising. My resque wasn't me waiking up and seeing that I needed to give up and get the hell out of that relationship. What saved me is something unspeakable he did, that led to his arrest and he went to jail. But, what I learned was that sometimes it's okay to "give up", and that I can't use that mentality in all situations in life.
This spoke to me. I’ve lost weight but still have a little more I wanted gone. This year I’ve done good and even had a month I did nothing and fell off a few days here and there and I always got back on it. But these past 2 months I’ve fallen off again and haven’t found the motivation to get back up and going. I keep telling myself you gotta get moving again! Little videos like this are great reminders along the way it’s not an option to quit but it is a choice you have to make for yourself what you want!
yes - choose your health! so you had a couple of bad months. even if it were a couple of bad years - you can change your mindset TODAY. move forward with a different view and the rest will follow.
This is excellent, thank you Jillian! So often I’m quick to give up on my health goals but I never put it into this perspective. I’m making my health a top priority this year.
Hi Jillian, I’m so disgusted with myself. I lost 90 lbs in 2yrs. Slow but steady and have maintained for 1 yr which I was proud of myself for a doing. The past 4 months I gained 50 lbs back. I can’t believe I did this to myself. I feel like an alien. It’s so discouraging weight can come back so easily and fast. I need to get back on track so I feel normal again.
Great advice!! Thank you for saying that you don't have an option to quit!! Everyday is a challenge to eat healthy and stay active. Some days are harder than others so you get right back up and try again everyday!! I have a 3 year old daughter so it is hard for me to cook for myself and eat healthy. I usually just snack throughout the day but I am trying to find healthier options. I try and eat breakfast before she wakes up so I have time to make myself a healthy breakfast. I will never quit trying to find healthier options and trying to keep active it is not an option!!
I started to workout a month after my father passed away 12/22/19. Since them I have lost 58 pounds. I knew I did not want to head in the same direction as him with heart failure.
Hi Jillian! did you make this video especially for me? 😂 I felt so tired from training and I was one of those who said: "but I didn't give up! (Yet)" But you're absolutely right, and thanks for reminding me: quit is not an option! Just remember and focus on our "why", I have several that change depending on the period but now I wasn't remembering anymore! So I focused on that and got back on track stronger and more motivated. And then I needed to break the routine... for example, I changed the type of training, I do yoga for a month, before starting again with high intensity ... now I don't feel tired anymore from the idea of training! It's all about listening and balance.. Quit s not on the table! Thanks for your work. Thanks for your words. They were what I needed today❤️🌷
Wonderful video Jillian. I am also a personal trainer and fitness instructor and I tell clients this all the time. Allow for some grace, pick yourself up, and start over tomorrow. It’s never too late to change your life. ❤️
Wow Jillian, you really spoke to my soul. I really needed to hear this today. And on days when things get really difficult, I will come back to this video to remind me that I just don’t get to give up on myself over one bad day. Nope, not an option. I’m worth fighting this good fight. Thank you, Jillian.
I just can’t even with you Jillian !! I love you so much.. i so look forward to all your videos..you are so authentic and preach the truth!! Keep it coming girl!! Xxxxxx
My goal for this summer is to wear speedos to the ocean! I am getting there! I lost 12 lbs. in 6 weeks so far! I have about 12 more lbs. to go to fit into my speedos! Two months or so to lose it! I ain't quitting! (: I am forever looking for new tips for things that will improve my progress and Jillian gives them to me! (: I am working on moving more and sitting less, balanced sensible eating, 14 hour fasting each night, sleeping 7-8 solid hours, 4 circuit training workouts plus my home workouts, a 45 minute daily swim, and 2-3 hours of brisk walking/jogging each day!!!!
So so true, it took me the longest time to realize that I am going to have bad days and not to give up. I finally made the decision at 47 to stop the yo-yo diets and on and off exercising. I have been consistent with exercise and eating food that nourish my body for the past 9 years and it has been awesome. Stay the course and never give up.
Thank you!! I needed to hear this. It’s so easy when your close to your goal - I have to shift my mind to say it’s a life style now!!! Don’t shit the bed, keep going- don’t make up the excuse to stop doing your 30 minutes of exercise
Love the flat tire and burning the car on fire 🔥 analogy!!! Great message. I was looking through your post and saw a couple of examples of HIIT treadmill workouts but can you do a video on the proper way for a beginner to begin treadmill workouts for optimal results. Thanks for selflessly imparting your knowledge 🙏🏽💪🏽
I appreciate this. For me it’s hard to understand. Starting is hard sometimes, sure. But I’ve been consistently working out / eating healthy for years now. Doesn’t mean I’m perfect and it’s effortless, but I never give up. For me, it’s just never been an option. I love the feeling of being healthy. That being said, my mom has never once cared about her health. 63, high blood pressure, overweight, has had horrible cough for like 10 yrs yet refuses to attempt to give up dairy for 30 days, sits all day then watches TV at night. Makes zero sense to me. I’ve tried the kind approach (asked her to go for a walk with me - refuses). I’ve gone off on her. Just says oh ok. I’ve tried ignoring it and leading by example. Nothing. If I mention a healthy meal I made or a workout I did she just says “oh”. WTF else can I do? I don’t want to see my mom suffer, live a terrible life, and die early, but that’s exactly what’s going to happen. Please make a video on something else I can do because I’m at my wits end. Or how to just accept her wanting to ruin her life out of laziness. Thank you for all you do & happy holidays. ❤️
I hate to break it you, but there is nothing more you can do. My mum is in a similar boat, but at least she walks the dog and "tries" to eat healthy (but she has zero clue about nutrition and eats way too many carbs and overall calories). She's always been overweight and had health problems. Earlier this year, I had a minor health scare and I knew at that point I HAD to change. No choice in my mind. It was ESSENTIAL so I didn't end up like her. If health scares don't wake them up, nothing will. If they can't motivate themselves, nothing will. They have to want to do it for themselves and their health (not for others) or the healthy habits won't stick. My great aunt lived into her 90s smoking a pack a day, drinking like a sailor, eating junk and a sedentary lifestyle. Her quality of life was very bad though. My nan died at 72 - Always ate healthy, no sweets, brisk walk over 30 minutes a day, hours in the garden a day, active jobs throughout her life. I guess my point is: Try to enjoy the time you have together because you truly don't know when her number is up.
This was hilarious - I think some people do get out of their car and slash all their tires. My soon to be ex - sister-in-law lives her whole life this way-lol! That aside, It was a great reminder that just because you mess up you don’t give up EVER. Thanks for the pep talk! 😊
I have never think those little things as a victory. It’s actually empowering to do so. Am going to do that after this. Thank you. Victory, celebrate 🎊

@@Blackandwhitecat-u9v Thank you 😊
You've got this!!!
It happens girl. I’m in the same boat. We just gotta keep on going. You got this! Give yourself some grace.
You got this! 🤎
Me too. We just have to keep going!! A bad couple weeks is nothing in the big picture.
Jillian always wears super cool t-shirts!
You down wit O.P.P.?
@@NoNameNumberTwo yeah you know me!
I know I love those rock band T-shirts so cool!
If you want real change then it's not going to be about a diet or an exercise regimen, it's about a whole lifestyle shift!!! How can you quit on that! Jillian is right, quitting is not an option!!💪🏼
Yes! tomorrow is a new day, even the next second is a new chance to make the right choice!!
THIS is the video you SAVE and listen to repeatedly!! ❤️
This made me cry. I’m saving this and sharing

what a beautiful tribute to her. lots of love to you. ❤️
@@JillianMichaels thanks so much ! ❤️ I admire you and your strength and everything you do for us!

Evening jillian ..my new year has started with a bang... went bike riding and came off in the cold conditions..now I have a broken fibula. Lower ankle.. 6 weeks in the boot. 😡
Loved the tire metaphor
Thank you Jillian. I have had some major back pain and sciatic issues after being like "Enough!" and choosing to be healthy. It is hard work to break every habit. The pain in having is unbearable and I know it's because of my weight after being 340 lbs for nearly three years. My joints are screaming. I don't want to say I'm sorry I just want to do it!
I needed that kick in the butt!!! Thank you Jillian for helping me reminding that “ not quitting” is not cause to celebrate bc it shouldn’t come to mind!! Just get up, dust the sprinkles off my face and get back on track!!! Thank you thank you!!
This is applicable to everything, this message is so inspirational and I'm so grateful to you for posting!
❤️ glad i could be of service
I am inspired AND motivated after hearing this!
Thank you 😊
Excellent framing. I have been thinking that my body will never get better. I work on better health each day. Progress is slow but there is progress. Meditative practices work well to keep the mind calmer so that better decisions are made.
slow progress is still progress. count each & every victory and keep moving forward
omg you are so inspirational!
Hi Jillian, I can't remember which video of yours it was, but about 8 years ago I was listening and you said something that really struck me: "What if you do nothing?" It was the shock I needed and I've never forgotten it. For so many reasons this year, I've let my health slide and given myself excuses for one thing after another. I realize how stupid that is. After seeing this video and message, I feel that fire again of how important it is to take care of ourselves. Thank you for sharing your wisdom and taking the time to make this video. Happy Holidays!
I love you and I've been following you since you first started working with Biggest Loser.
In many ways I belive we are very similar. I do know we have a very similar coaching style where
we are (sometime brutally) honest and call it for what it is etc...
Maybe it's our military background (I'm first woman in Sweden to become navy seal).
Love this talk, and I strongly agree...but...this mentality almost cost me my life.
Heck, I actually died once...CPR...etc etc and I lived. Obviously!
I bring this "giving up is NOT an option" to every part of my life.
I was in an abusive relationship wich was really bad, I don't want to upset people with details,
but I was hanging on, not giving up, waiting for that "fantasy - happy - future" that he kept
promising. My resque wasn't me waiking up and seeing that I needed to give up and get the
hell out of that relationship. What saved me is something unspeakable he did, that led to his
arrest and he went to jail.
But, what I learned was that sometimes it's okay to "give up", and that I can't use that
mentality in all situations in life.
This spoke to me. I’ve lost weight but still have a little more I wanted gone. This year I’ve done good and even had a month I did nothing and fell off a few days here and there and I always got back on it. But these past 2 months I’ve fallen off again and haven’t found the motivation to get back up and going. I keep telling myself you gotta get moving again! Little videos like this are great reminders along the way it’s not an option to quit but it is a choice you have to make for yourself what you want!
yes - choose your health! so you had a couple of bad months. even if it were a couple of bad years - you can change your mindset TODAY. move forward with a different view and the rest will follow.
This is excellent, thank you Jillian! So often I’m quick to give up on my health goals but I never put it into this perspective. I’m making my health a top priority this year.
Thank you I did quit but listening to you im coming back Merry Christmas And Happy New Year I truly love you God Bless you and your family
I'm inspired! I love you Jill!!! 🤟🏽🙏🏽🤙🏽
Holding ground, is, a total power position. Love it. Hoping your holiday rocks and thank you for all you do. ❤️
My new morning devotional. Thanks again!💪🏽
pleasure is mine ❤️
Hi Jillian, I’m so disgusted with myself. I lost 90 lbs in 2yrs. Slow but steady and have maintained for 1 yr which I was proud of myself for a doing. The past 4 months I gained 50 lbs back. I can’t believe I did this to myself. I feel like an alien. It’s so discouraging weight can come back so easily and fast. I need to get back on track so I feel normal again.
The tire analogy is perfect.
one of my favorites. 😉
Thank you J. we all needed this.
Great advice!! Thank you for saying that you don't have an option to quit!! Everyday is a challenge to eat healthy and stay active. Some days are harder than others so you get right back up and try again everyday!! I have a 3 year old daughter so it is hard for me to cook for myself and eat healthy. I usually just snack throughout the day but I am trying to find healthier options. I try and eat breakfast before she wakes up so I have time to make myself a healthy breakfast. I will never quit trying to find healthier options and trying to keep active it is not an option!!
I started to workout a month after my father passed away 12/22/19. Since them I have lost 58 pounds. I knew I did not want to head in the same direction as him with heart failure.
I am in love with your arms Jilian! Amazing look and inspirational content as always. Thank you! 💪
I am going to listen to this before I eat another Christmas cookie! Ty Jillian !!!!
wow. I always get inspired by her
I needed to hear this, big time
Love it.... definitely will stay in mind forever... quitting is not an option... we r going to the finish line with this one n only body ...
that's right - you only get one
Thanks Jillian.
Hi Jillian! did you make this video especially for me? 😂 I felt so tired from training and I was one of those who said: "but I didn't give up! (Yet)"
But you're absolutely right, and thanks for reminding me: quit is not an option! Just remember and focus on our "why", I have several that change depending on the period but now I wasn't remembering anymore! So I focused on that and got back on track stronger and more motivated. And then I needed to break the routine... for example, I changed the type of training, I do yoga for a month, before starting again with high intensity ... now I don't feel tired anymore from the idea of training! It's all about listening and balance.. Quit s not on the table! Thanks for your work. Thanks for your words. They were what I needed today❤️🌷
I REALLY needed this right now. You reminded me why I can do this and why I will continue to not give up on me. Thank you, sincerely.
Wonderful video Jillian. I am also a personal trainer and fitness instructor and I tell clients this all the time. Allow for some grace, pick yourself up, and start over tomorrow. It’s never too late to change your life. ❤️
God I love her. I absolutely needed to hear this today ❤️
Really needed to hear this.
Wow Jillian, you really spoke to my soul. I really needed to hear this today. And on days when things get really difficult, I will come back to this video to remind me that I just don’t get to give up on myself over one bad day. Nope, not an option. I’m worth fighting this good fight. Thank you, Jillian.
❤️ you Jillian - thank you!
I just can’t even with you Jillian !! I love you so much.. i so look forward to all your videos..you are so authentic and preach the truth!! Keep it coming girl!! Xxxxxx
i try 😉 love you right back beauty.
I so needed this today. thank you
Thank you Jillian
My goal for this summer is to wear speedos to the ocean! I am getting there! I lost 12 lbs. in 6 weeks so far! I have about 12 more lbs. to go to fit into my speedos! Two months or so to lose it! I ain't quitting! (: I am forever looking for new tips for things that will improve my progress and Jillian gives them to me! (: I am working on moving more and sitting less, balanced sensible eating, 14 hour fasting each night, sleeping 7-8 solid hours, 4 circuit training workouts plus my home workouts, a 45 minute daily swim, and 2-3 hours of brisk walking/jogging each day!!!!
Thanks Jillian 💖
So so true, it took me the longest time to realize that I am going to have bad days and not to give up. I finally made the decision at 47 to stop the yo-yo diets and on and off exercising. I have been consistent with exercise and eating food that nourish my body for the past 9 years and it has been awesome. Stay the course and never give up.
consistency is key!! i can't stress this enough. no hacks. no shortcuts. just consistency. great work beauty. ❤️
Amazing!!! Whenever I feel like quitting my weight loss journey in 2021 I will go back and watch this video. Thank you Jillian :)
Amen and thank you
Yes! Say it louder Jillian! This message + your last vid...just YES! I hope you're writing a new book for us with these topics.
The truth is that you are right Jillian and I needed to hear this.
Thank you!! I needed to hear this. It’s so easy when your close to your goal - I have to shift my mind to say it’s a life style now!!! Don’t shit the bed, keep going- don’t make up the excuse to stop doing your 30 minutes of exercise
Love this.....was highly needed
Love the flat tire and burning the car on fire 🔥 analogy!!! Great message. I was looking through your post and saw a couple of examples of HIIT treadmill workouts but can you do a video on the proper way for a beginner to begin treadmill workouts for optimal results. Thanks for selflessly imparting your knowledge 🙏🏽💪🏽
I appreciate this. For me it’s hard to understand. Starting is hard sometimes, sure. But I’ve been consistently working out / eating healthy for years now. Doesn’t mean I’m perfect and it’s effortless, but I never give up. For me, it’s just never been an option. I love the feeling of being healthy.
That being said, my mom has never once cared about her health. 63, high blood pressure, overweight, has had horrible cough for like 10 yrs yet refuses to attempt to give up dairy for 30 days, sits all day then watches TV at night. Makes zero sense to me. I’ve tried the kind approach (asked her to go for a walk with me - refuses). I’ve gone off on her. Just says oh ok. I’ve tried ignoring it and leading by example. Nothing. If I mention a healthy meal I made or a workout I did she just says “oh”. WTF else can I do? I don’t want to see my mom suffer, live a terrible life, and die early, but that’s exactly what’s going to happen. Please make a video on something else I can do because I’m at my wits end. Or how to just accept her wanting to ruin her life out of laziness.
Thank you for all you do & happy holidays. ❤️
I hate to break it you, but there is nothing more you can do. My mum is in a similar boat, but at least she walks the dog and "tries" to eat healthy (but she has zero clue about nutrition and eats way too many carbs and overall calories). She's always been overweight and had health problems.
Earlier this year, I had a minor health scare and I knew at that point I HAD to change. No choice in my mind. It was ESSENTIAL so I didn't end up like her. If health scares don't wake them up, nothing will. If they can't motivate themselves, nothing will. They have to want to do it for themselves and their health (not for others) or the healthy habits won't stick.
My great aunt lived into her 90s smoking a pack a day, drinking like a sailor, eating junk and a sedentary lifestyle. Her quality of life was very bad though. My nan died at 72 - Always ate healthy, no sweets, brisk walk over 30 minutes a day, hours in the garden a day, active jobs throughout her life. I guess my point is: Try to enjoy the time you have together because you truly don't know when her number is up.
This was hilarious - I think some people do get out of their car and slash all their tires. My soon to be ex - sister-in-law lives her whole life this way-lol! That aside, It was a great reminder that just because you mess up you don’t give up EVER. Thanks for the pep talk! 😊
Jillian you are a healer 🤍🤍thank you for this .
There it is. Yes ma'am. 🙏
You made me cry and then get my shit together, thank you I needed that lecture
Thanks Jillian! Your support really helps me!
i'm so glad i could help! ❤️
I have never think those little things as a victory. It’s actually empowering to do so. Am going to do that after this. Thank you. Victory, celebrate 🎊
Thanks Jillian. I needed this. 💜
I always love your passion! Thank you for your inspiration.
