As one who is down 20lbs and counting, my tips are-increase protein, stop/decrease alcohol (especially mixed drinks), INCREASE your daily steps and lift weights 3-4x a week! Good Luck!
Fast until noon don't eat after sundown. Replace sugary drinks from Starbucks with green tea lemon during the day. Add 2 dance classes and barre/pilates class per week. I'm down to my high school weight after 12 years 😮 lost almost 30lbs since March
Oh and I switched to mainly a Mediterranean diet cutting out red meat until period week and chicken (makes me constipated)... fish and quinoa is my favorite filling meal now days
Intermittent fasting helps alot woth weight loss give yourself a eating window. I only eat from 3p-8p. I lost 35 pds since May. My goal was 150 from 180 by July & I achieved that goal. My current weight is 145. I avoid carbs and sugar mostly and if i do indulge its very very little. I dont deprive myself. I just eat less calories and ive been keeping the weight off and i walk 5x a week. Discipline is KEY. YOU GOT THIS ALEXIS ❤
I did the same thing with manifesting the life that I wanted. I had it write a day in the life, a letter from my future self, what to do each day, and affirmations lol. I had ChatGPT getting busy a few nights ago. I also recorded myself reading the affirmations and I play it each morning. I was so emotional reading it.
If you like your new diffuser, order the fragrance you like from Hotel Collection and pour those in your new diffuser. Just a thought. I like your new console, it's really pretty and plenty of storage space.
I’ve started eating chia seeds too! I soak mine in vanilla oat milk and honey. Also I was trying to reach my goal weight for 3 years and I could never dedicate my energy to do it because even though I didn’t like my size, I still looked good. Anyway, I started fasting for 12-14 hours and I only eat two meals a day with a couple of snacks and boom. Weight is off and it’s super easy to maintain because I don’t have to watch what I’m eating as much. I just make sure whatever I’m eating is rich in protein and fiber so that I stay full. I’m 29 and I’m thinner and healthier than I was in college. Weight loss doesn’t have to be as hard as we make it out to be. Good luck to you!
Tracking helps me, but I learned I had to put my meals in a day ahead. That way I could make sure I didn’t go over and I could adjust portions or change meals and snacks as needed.
Girl I dont know what day you went but the wall flowers were on Sale for $2.95 from Friday 9.13-9.15!!!! I stocked up!!! I tried a new fall scent (new to me) called White Fall. Love it!
You’re so right about tracking! I have a video on this because it helped me lose 20 pounds in two months. Walking over working out also helped the weight fall off faster because it created a deficit of 500-1000 calories depending on how many steps I got
Walking 7k-10k steps and eating more protein/ in a caloric deficit helped me lose 20 pounds in 4 months. I also consume 1, 500 mg capsule of Berberine first thing in the morning. It’s considered nature’s Ozempic, but of course do your research before consuming.
I am dying laughing when you asked your bf to taste the drink. Your facial expression was priceless! 🤣🤣🤣 You was looking like “oooh ok listerine huh, but I still need you to come taste this drink” 😂😂 then you switch to the sad face 😂 that was sooo funny to me!
Loved this vlog lex seeing you literally count your calories makes me feel better about starting my weight loss journey because that was my issue not knowing how to count the calories thanks Alexus you're definitely gonna hit your goals for next year you got this❤😊
You don’t need ozempic! You’re super young, be sure to get in 10k steps a day and you will drop. A lot of ppl I know have dropped weight from just walking everyday.
Hi Alexus, I’ve lost 65+ pounds within the 15 months. Intermittent fasting, more lean/non-fried protein, and low carb/keto works WONDERS. tracking calories are important, but make sure you’re not consuming too many carbs also ❤️
Ok so I’ve lost 25 pounds and something that helped me was cottage cheese! Buy a tub of Good Culture cottage cheese and put it in the blender to get rid of the chunks and make it smooth. Then it is a base for everything. I put the Hidden Valley ranch packet in it and dip my wings in that and it is only 80 calories for 1/2 instead of the 195 for the regular ranch
Yesss. I’ve seen a lot of people use cottage cheese for recipes. Some have even added it to pasta sauce to add extra protein to meals. I have literally never tried cottage cheese. This is my sign 😂
Lex I’m on this journey with you. I’ve started walking more and doing Pilates. A good sweet treat is the Yasso bars I get them at Publix. Teddy’s shoes are sending me 😂😂
I love that fitness app. It helped me realize why my blood pressure was reading high. Just eating a harissa bowl from CAVA with no adjustments was over 2000mg! Average daily limit of sodium should be around 1500mg, I was eating over it in one meal. Chile!
I would have been right with you! But of course I had to get pregnant before wanted to. So pray for me after postpartum next year that the weight with drop off!😅
Love the vlog, Lex! I’m going to start using myfitnesspal again. I also ordered me a walking pad to ensure I get a walk in everyday regardless of the weather. I’m going to be fine right along with you girl. We got this! ❤
Hey gorgeous nice seeing you girl I started my weight lost journey the beginning of this month to thanks for some extra tips 🤗 the dresses are stunning on you , Awww teddy walking in his shoes to cute , love your vlog 💞
Preach. Manifesting has been rebranded from prayer. And it puts humans in a position where we think we have the power to control what’s around us just by thinking about it really hard. And that’s just unrealistic. Yes there’s power in the tongue but if God says no or not yet on a blessing you want then that’s what it’ll be.
Omg Alexus I remember when I first started watching you you were the meal prep queen hunny! I will be 30 next year and I have already started my weight loss journey. It’s so nice to know we are in this together!
Okay, Lex I did the smoothie cleanse with you last time, and it worked. So, imma see this through with you! Lol now idk about the gym 5/6x a week, BUT I have started walking 3 miles everyday. Im on Day 4 (its a start) WE GOT THIS! ❤😂
Hey girl , try out the pura vida veggies at Costco , they are in the frozen section. They are fire roasted & so good , just add a protein and you are set !
The most important thing is staying in a caloric deficit, not the time of day you eat. Trying to get on everyone’s else’s schedule will stress you more than just sticking to an eating schedule that works best for you. Small advice.
lol thank you! I have a very very different schedule than a lot of people I have to do what works best for me. Btw you look so good! Lemme go ahead & try some of your workouts 😮💨
@@Scandalex you’re welcome and thank you too. You’re already doing the hardest part… understanding what’s going into your body. Daily macro counting is not for the weak 🙌
Lmao @ Teddy just showing up with the intense stare😂.Weight loss is so hard. This is one of the things that makes me not want to get lipo or a bbl. It's great that you don't get as much fat around your waist, but it goes everywhere else when you gain.
Teddy is such a good boy lol. He must not be allowed in your room because that’s how my dog just sits by my door staring at me 😂 And we on this weight loss journey together babes 🤞🏽❤️ so far this month I’m down 7lbs 🥲 started tracking my food and realized I was basically consuming my days worth of calories in just snacks 🤦🏾♀️
lol only places he’s not allowed. The bedroom & the kitchen 😂 See! Tracking can be tedious but I feel like it’s so helpful. -7 is amazing omg, keep going! We got this.
The scene when you were excited about your book 😂😂 I’m about to go order it now.. also I am not a fan of anything floral either. Vanilla is okay but it depends on if it smells like actual vanilla or artificial vanilla 🤢 I love the new diffuser, super cute.
I don't think you had to pour the oil in the empty glass friend. I think you were just supposed to just replace the lid with the actual diffuser lid friend. That's why you have an extra lid. Maybe if you bought/made your own oil??
You don’t get emails bath and body works. Yes the wallflowers were $2.95 They always sending coupons. They probably changed that deal the next day but if I could show you the email on here I would. The car refills were 1.95 and yes the hand soap was $3.95
As one who is down 20lbs and counting, my tips are-increase protein, stop/decrease alcohol (especially mixed drinks), INCREASE your daily steps and lift weights 3-4x a week! Good Luck!
Great tips 💕 ! And congrats on -20, that’s amazing. Thank you.
You are so right about this!

lol he always in my business.
If you like your new diffuser, order the fragrance you like from Hotel Collection and pour those in your new diffuser. Just a thought.
I like your new console, it's really pretty and plenty of storage space.
Stress and lack of rest can also play a factor in holding fat too…. You got it girl. Last quarter of the year best quarter ❤❤❤
The way you are so unintentionally funny Alexus. I crack up during every vlog 😂💕

Teddy in his lil shoes was to cute.. laying up there letting you put them on❤️
When you moved the box and Teddy was standing there all quiet. Scared the hell outta me. I forgot you had a dog for a second. 🤣😂

@@Scandalex 😂🤣🥰
Lmaooo girl that was funny, u said you forgot she had a dog. Hell me too
@@Cherryamora 😂😂
I love your transparency. I will join you on the weight loss journey. I really enjoyed this video. Please do more like this.
I have faith in you wholeheartedly that you can achieve your weight loss goals!
Just a tip girlfriend if you’re really trying to lose weight, I wouldn’t eat past eight😅
And the wallflowers were 2.95 you may just be a bit late. 😊
And go to bed a Lil earlier😅
The vlog playlist hittsss..where’d you get all your songs from??
The recipe for the halal chicken looks so good can’t wait to try it!
Heyy Lex, I hope your week is going well. I definitely needed some to watch on RUclips, thank you
You’re welcome boo 💕
Just the motivation I needed! 60lbs down so far 😩 Please keep the weight loss/fitness content coming! 🫶🏽
Tracking helps me, but I learned I had to put my meals in a day ahead. That way I could make sure I didn’t go over and I could adjust portions or change meals and snacks as needed.
You should definitely do more what I eat in a day videos!
I read the title and was like, “I’m w/ you Sis!” Just finished typing up a 30day challenge to improve myself for the better! 🥰💕
Oh period, we’re in this together 💕
If you plan on intermittent Fasting ADD seammoss on empty stomach! Not only curves appetite it helps you forget bc half of not eating is mental.
Lex, this book has me in a CHOKEHOLD--A Love Letter to Whiskey!! It is so GOODT, MESSY, and REAL!
Okay definitely about to do the dream life thing
Girl I dont know what day you went but the wall flowers were on Sale for $2.95 from Friday 9.13-9.15!!!! I stocked up!!! I tried a new fall scent (new to me) called White Fall. Love it!
White Fall! Lemme add that to the list for the next time. I went the day after the sale ended 😢

Just did the chat GPT wow I cried too lol you can even ask for a picture and a song about your dream life that was fun!
Sis! What kind of edge control do you use? The edges are always laid & so in place!? ❤
Those dresses were so dang cute, I loved the red one on you😍 and that chicken and rice dish looked so good too!
Thank you! Can’t wait to style them. You have to try the recipe, I love the halal cart chicken 😋

Poor teddy probably wondering , gurl what are those ?😂😂😂
I don’t use Chat GPT, I do manifest and I just write and talk to God. His plans is always better than our own so I let him lead
Right. Chat GPT is helpful for creating meal plans and workout routines though lol
@@nik-at-nite that’s cool
