- Lyss underwent bariatric surgery, but it wasn't enough. To shed over 200 pounds, she first had to overcome a lifetime of poor eating habits.

For Lyss Remaly, weight was always an issue. "I was definitely that cute baby who looked like I had rubber bands on my wrists and arms," she says. "It's just not as attractive when you're 18."
At age 4, Lyss was already seeing a nutritionist for her diet and health issues. Family history played a role, but so did eating habits. "As much as I want to blame genetics, it's not like I helped the situation any," she says. "Yes my dad is a bigger guy, and all five of us kids are bigger, but I was also a closet eater. I hid what I ate-I'd hit the drive-thru and maybe eat four Whoppers and fries in my car before going home for dinner. I kept that horrible behavior going for years."
For years, the actress, jokester, and self-proclaimed funny girl hid behind jokes and her vivacious personality, until an embarrassing wake-up call forced Lyss to listen to her body.
This is Lyss' story.

It's nice to see someone who had a wonderful childhood.
I know right but I guess nothing is perfect wither coming from a great childhood or a broken home
Very inspirational and I know this will inspire and motivate others, thank you for sharing your journey, god bless you
She was a cute little girl pudgy like that loil.
While traumatic childhoods typically are a precursor for self harm, suicidal ideation and addiction... That isn't always the case. Some people are just born with mental illness, self loathing and addictive personalities.
Rare indeed ... or ... she's repressing it out if learned fear of the repercussions. We know no one until we co exist with them, words mean nothing.
Love that quote. “Doesn’t matter how much you love your body if you’re ruining it from the inside out.”
Agreed, that quote needs to be pushed towards the fat acceptance movement
@@Friddle for sure 🔥
I think the 'I hated running, OBVIOUSLY, unless, you know, I was being chased' hit hardest for me. That lady's very funny.
She was a cute baby lol.
@@Friddle That's an oxymoron from a moron. You don't get fat on veggies and cardio.
When she said “if you have a pile of tools in front you they’re not gonna build you a house” got me! Really got me. I’m gonna get my life back!
Very wise quote. Go go, show must go on!
How are you doing Pamela? I’ve been 5 months into the journey. It’s clicking, it’s finally clicking. I’m learning and discovering new desires that were hidden under grief, loneliness and fear.
Anyway, hope you’re doing well? 🇦🇺🌷
Just keep putting one foot in front of the other. You will always be moving forward to your goals.
@@MythOfMe i feel what you are saying. At 37 it actually clicked. I really know what you mean 💚

I love that her parents are so supportive. It's beautiful 😍😍
And why she was in that situation in the 1st place
@@jessicaj8564 exactly! her parents should have stepped in LONG before!!!!
As a toddler, THEY were feeding her.
@@adorable3817 Right! Brother was a chubby kid too!
Not so supportive, they were the adults and let her lost in that situation.
Why did the parents let her eat all this junk food when she was only a kid in the first place? In the Netherlands having a morbidly obese child is considered child abuse and parents have to comply with enforcing a diet and taking their children for regular exercise sessions, otherwise they risk having their child placed in a foster family.
I am crying watching this. I had my surgery 5 months ago, and I'm down 68 pounds. I am so very thankful for your words of encouragement. I needed to see & hear this today. Thank you❤
thats great i am proud of you!! how are you today?
How are you doing now a year later?
How has it gone for you?
How are you now😄
Im thinking to do the surgery ... How r u doing now ?does it worth to go through this
""there is no magic pill. you have to work EVERY single day. Just like an alcoholic will have to work hard EVERY SINGLE DAY to not have one drink". that really hit for me. i've had bad eating habits and been a bit overweight, i've suffered from an eating disorder for a few years now and i still have to work hard every. single. day.
If you're suffering from something, there is always help out there. But YOU are going to have to be the one who does it.
Lauren Claire So true. My addiction is sugar. I’m 56 years old and I’ve used it my most of my life to fill a void. I’m now aware of why I eat sugary treats. I Lost 70 pounds and reversed my type 2 diabetes by giving up sugar. I didn’t want to get on medication. I reversed it in 3 months.
I went through a healing period in 2018 2019, releasing past trauma and I started eating sugar again, I can’t just stop at one! I work hard to control it every single day!!
2020 is my comeback!! Today is 1/7/20 and I’m setting intentions and I’m already seeing inches lost. 😊
LovinDebs Fit50s I’m so sure you’ll be doing great! 👍🏻😀
Cam Bar Thank you! 😊

Wow, that is your choice 😞😞😞😞😞
Lol, same
Unfortunately kind of relatable.

Some of the comments on this video are negative and disgusting. Congrats to her. Great testimony.
Theresa Colton no one commented negative, every single comment is appreciations
Jaime Willow was negative, saying she took the easy road by having surgery. I don't believe in surgery, but I believe some people would not have been able to change their lives without it
She actually said the surgery wasn't that effective and it clicked that it was her that had to change.
" She said I could love my hips, thighs, and pies" wow. That spoke to me. She also said " You can't truly love yourself and be killing yourself on the inside." wow profound
When your mom said, “tell me some more,” I flashed back to my mom laughing when she found out I was self injuring at 9 years old and laughing when she was told I had an eating disorder at 14 and how she would rarely show up for me. I think your mom is amazing, and so are you.
Omg maybe we have the same mom
I'm sorry you went through that. You didn't deserve it ❤❤❤
I wasn't just weight loss you went through it was mental growth
Aqq@@CaiyaSanchez
I love this story. People think surgery is the easy way out. This story sheds light on the truth. First off, surgery only decreases the size of your stomach. It does nothing for your eating habits or your mental health. Which is why weight loss result variations are so vast. You see some people lose so much and some lose a little. Others gain half of it back. It’s not a magic pill! Like she said. That’s so true. I had the gastric sleeve. I was not obese all my life. I was a yo-yo dieter so I was somewhat slightly overweight and even sometimes normal weight until I had kids 3 of them and I hit 350 almost. I was in denial due to my pear shape and my culture supports bigger women. But I found that even though I didn’t have any health issues, I couldn’t walk for long, I couldn’t stand, I was in severe pain daily. No position was comfortable. After the sleeve I lost over 175 pounds. I am now 160. Muscular and fit.
Losing the weight took complete discipline and a lifetime change and modifications to my eating habits. I cut out processed foods and sugars completely from my diet. It’s been a couple years now. No sugars. I found sugar free alternatives. I eat proteins, good fats, veggies, very little fruits and a few starches. I work out religiously 4 days a week. And that’s how the weight has stayed off.
The truth is unless you address your food addictions, your bad health and eating habits, you will not lose much weight with surgery. The surgery takes off the first 50-70 pounds and the the real work begins. Not everyone can be successful on this diet. I’ve lost over 90 % of my excess weight. It takes dedication, consistency and hard work. But I couldn’t have done it without my gastric sleeve and God. Anyways great story.
Mrs. W God bless you both. I’m working on my eating habits but I want the surgery.
So true! Sadly, two of my sisters have had the surgery and neither have reached a healthy weight. One of them has maintained some of her loss, though she's still a long way off. The other gained all her's back. It's been 4 years since their surgeries. They absolutely need to change the problem that causes their weight, though I don't know they will. I've always tried to maintain a good weight and health, so I'm thankful I'm not in that situation; though I have to work hard to keep from gaining too much, as well. I wish I could give them my determination, but sadly I can't. Thet have to be willing and have that determination for themselves.
God prepares to save you when you prepare to save yourself.x
Mrs. W nice of you for being honest about your surgery
It’s a tool.
You are an absolutely beautiful human, inside and out. Around 5 years ago I was at my heaviest at 176lbs. Doesn't sound overly huge, but I'm only 4'11. I was MASSIVE. I cut calories to 1000 a day and worked out twice a day. I dropped 56lbs and decided I was now the kind of person who could eat anything and not put on weight. How wrong I was. The weight piled back on and I'm now 163lbs after being a lazy, greedy pig for the last couple of years. I'm back at the gym and this time I'm eating well. Really well. The weight is slowly coming off again and I feel great. The key is sustainability, not quick results. I know this now. After watching this video, even though I don't know you I feel IMMENSELY proud of you. I have been the girl who was so big it held her back. I could hear comments in the street and feel the looks from people. All it made me want to do was bury my face in a burger because that was my comfort zone. For the last 15 years or so, ever since I was a teenager, I've been big. No more. I am determined, but your story has made me BELIEVE. You are truly one in a million. X
Hi! A youtuber who really helps me gain knowledge of weight loss is Natacha Océane. Very very positive, fun and has a healthy relationship with food :)
Warlywarluts
Im wondering how have you been doing now? Were you able to get fit again? I need to know cos im losing hope...
Warlywarluts How is it going? Please share your journey with us. I’m 5 months in on my get healthy plan and it really is just one day at a time.
Did your heels in and Do It! It is only your LIFE you are talking about! I have struggled with being heavy most of my life, been on many diets, lost weight and put it back plus more.However, the last 8 mos, I have support in my life that I never had before, a sister, who is my number one fan! I read a book by Jen Sincero..called YOU ARE A BADASS! ..the yellow book..it really clicked with me..I am now down 41 lbs, have 10 more to go..am a totally confident, different person..LOVE my new self and life! You CAN do this, but only you CAN do it!YOU are worth it! Wishing you the very best on your success!! read Jen's book ! hugs
NEVER cut to 1000kcal a day for too long , you're gonna slow your metabolism and will get fucked by it. cut to 1500 EXTREME MINIMUM.
Bcoz your daily calories will drop to around 1300 kcal a day and when you get back to eat "normaly" 2000+- kcal it will not go back to there, will take several MONTH and you gain weight till your daily calories get normalize.
good lock with your weight loss.
Bodybuilding is not a sport it's a way of life and I'm really glad u realized that
She transformed like a butterfly
She turned from caterpillar to a bull. Strong women are hot af...
Thank you for sharing this. I am proud of you. My daughter is an amazing, beautiful, funny talented 16-year-old young woman. She is also a large girl. I am going to help her if she wants to put more energy into fitness. I will talk to her tonight.
Thomas Hall - Weight loss Hypnosis, that has helped me so much! I was a big binger, I have hormonal probs, look into that, that can be a reason, ACV with water and a straw in the morning and before meals helps so much, sorts out the sugar surges if it is hormonal!
ALEXIS GILMETE you mean she's a fat girl
Miss She yeah biking is fun for two or three miles but once you go longer it won't be much fun for a heavy person
Fitness makes you feel good and even better when you lose weight
Obesity is hormonal. It isn’t just calories or level of activity.
Get her basal insulin levels tested, that would be my starting point honestly
I congratulate you. I only lost 107. From 287 to 180. I went to a hypnotherapist and it worked wonders.
Harvey Holloway How does a hypnotherapist treatment work?
"I only lost 107." Um, that's amazing, sir. I celebrate you!
Harvey Holloway ONLY!?! uh i call that freakin AMAZING!!!!
Congratulations. 🙌🏾
Thats great! You have a big reason to be proud🙌🏻
My eyes focused on the words on the list “stop eating when I’m bored” Great
Definitely true. That was my list too and yes I overcame it now!
@@luuvannguyen thats great! I know it's not easy haha :)
Heh. I forget to eat for days on end when i'm bored. Wanna trade?
I am sitting here with a BMI of 39, (lady) age 57, two types of arthritis, sleep apnea, and just came from my first Bariatric appt. An RN for 35 years!! Caring for everyone but me. After trying everything to lose weight, I am going to have a gastric sleeve. I am the Mother of 2 grown kids. Both have beautful physiques, and each have been competing in shows. It is my turn to be an athlete again. I just happened to see this video. I cried with you and your Mom.
she's very lucky to have a family like that, I envy her for that,.
Family is important, but not necessary,... you can do it!
I actually think her family enabled her, there's got to be a balance and I don't think that happened there.
Iluv Merengue What do you mean specifically? The woman actually said she was loved and pay attention. The videos from infancy show a fat girl. Some people do have to work at not being fat and it is NOT always a family issue that is a dangerous liberal mentality.
Me too.
I envy her too 💗 my family is toxic and they are one of the reasons why I'm still fat
It's so nice to see someone who understands, being fat your whole life... I was 350+ at 5"3, finally hitting 150lbs was the most uplifting moment knowing I had finally done it. Now I'm working towards the same goal at 145lbs not body building but to get to 120 and tone up and live a fit life. We can do it, no matter where you're starting from, it's possible! You can meet your goals. You just have to do it, You dont need a gym, or a trainer, or surgery you just need the will to do it. I'm living proof of that, and so is she. :)
Why would anyone give this video a thumbs down?!?!
Self serving arrogance
Probably because she is rich and can afford the Bariatric surgery and all the skin surgeries. I am looking for a weight loss guide for poor people. I like her story but she had access to a gym, surgery and she had support.
@@mugglescakesniffer3943 poor way....cut calories, weights & dedication 👍🏾😉. It's a marathon not a sprint😏
That was Tess Holliday and her friends from NAAFA 😂😂😂.
Muggles Cake Sniffer but that doesn’t mean You have to dislike it. She’s just sharing HER story with her personal experiences and resources.
Consistency and mindset is everything 💯💯💯
Thank you for your sharing your story. I had bariatric surgery 4 years ago. People judge as if the surgery sucked up off your fat and you are all of a sudden thin. You said it perfectly; it is a daily challenge and a choice as to what to put in your mouth. I became a vegan which is a hard transition but kept looking for the strength to exercise. You have given me that. Thank you! I will go back to my exercise program with a vengeance and remember you when I don't want to wake up in the morning. As women we must be there to support each other. Wish you the best!!
She’s extremely beautiful!!
EmmaSingsSometimes nah
@Kate M.hunter why are you guys so mean? I think shes beautiful too! seriously
Wow
She is very pretty.
Quazi Roberts very well spoken
I love this video. I was very fat growing up and everyone thought I’d be a big boy when I grew up and then I became addicted to drugs and lost a lot of weight and loved having a six pack so when I gave up drugs I started lifting weights and dieting and I looked super good but I picked up a new addiction which was cutting myself. I cut alllllll over my body where I don’t like how I look!!! So basically my whole body!!!! Now I have massive scars everywhere and it stops me from being able to take my shirt off anywhere!!! It gets better!!!! I promise! Keep fighting cause you are you and you are perfect in so many ways!!!! ❤️❤️❤️
💙💙💙💙💙💙
❤️❤️❤️❤️
I truly hope you are doing better
@@christinahall8124 thank you!!
It's painful and inspirational to hear someone else's story that sounds so much like mine. I haven't had the surgery yet, but this video is going to be my inspiration forever.
Bravo! i had duodenal switch surgery in 2008 shortly after my 46th birthday. i wish I would've done it when i was a younger woman. you look fabulous! i spent my whole life with people telling me " your so beautiful if only you were thin"
well at 46 years old i finally realized #145 and I have maintained it for 9 years now. shedding #170 was the best thing I ever did for myself.
thank you for sharing your story. you are an amazing and beautiful young woman.
Can I just say that your recorder cover of ‘Mary had a Little Lamb’ is one of the most iconic things I’ve ever seen 😂💗
But on a more serious note, well done on your journey and transformation, you are a beautiful being even before your transformation! I’m happy you decided to put your health first 🥰
Lyss, if you're reading this, I just wanted to tell you that you are a beautiful person, inside and out. There's no escaping our deepest, darkest fears and struggles, and exercising to get in shape taught me that it's a way for us to confront those fears, accept our flaws, and strive to sculpt the best versions of ourselves through hard work and dedication. I'm so happy for you, and pray you'll keep moving forward.
For those who believe...everything is possible. God bless you!!! Keep it up!
I know how she feels! At my heaviest I was 325. Doctors told me I wouldn't make it to my 40th birthday. I found a amazing Dr. in Raleigh NC the only one that would perform a weight loss surgery called the duodenal switch. I lost 146 pounds total and now I plan to hit the gym harder than ever. Thanks for posting this
Between those gorgeous hazel eyes and those dimples not to mention your intelligence you are powerful!
Brilliantly described her real beauty.
I’m so thankful for your story. I can’t have surgery but I’ve lost 50lbs and am stuck. I realize it’s because I’m justifying what I eat. I have watched so many documentaries and shows on weight loss and YOURS is the most honest and inspiring for me. Thank you for giving me my “click” moment.
you were so lucky with your parents some of us never get the unconditional love x
s r. It's her parents' fault that she got to that point.

This is by far the most touching video I've ever watched. She is so honest and many people probably have went through the same thing. For those of you going through the same thing, there is hope. There is that light at the end of the tunnel. Stay positive and believe that God will guide you.
"this is how my life was gonna be i had to find a way to be ok with that" this is so much more important than people realive. EVERY single human being goes through that exact stage of development.
Man how do people have the will power to do things like that. If I were that big I would jus gave up on life and never have the motivation to even bother with gym. huge respect 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻😘
i think its crazy how the ad was m&m's
Derek Hall lol right
Derek Hall that isn't by chance, a lot of people make a lot of money by making us sick and trying to "fix" us.
Sarrah Gutier Marin -True!
Derek Hall ads relate to your location and interests
This is the most inspiring story I have seen in my life
i resonate with your story so much! i had a wonderful childhood, but was a miserable girl trapped in a fat body for most of my adolescent life. i found fitness and have reclaimed my body and am going on to compete in my first fitness comp in october. you are a champion! every day we fight for our bodies and our health. well done, you!
How did it go?
Wow 5 years!!! That is so amazing and shows that there is no magic cure. They can create them but hard work trumps them all. So inspiring! Thank you. 👍💯💗
WOW!! You are an inspiration! I am 4 days out from Sleeve surgery and am so ready to begin my new life. I cant wait to get to the gym and develop new, healthy habits. Thank you for sharing your story. One further comment- I lost my mom to cancer 11 years ago but seeing the love in your mom's eyes when she was listening to you at the table reminded me so so much of my own mother! She was such a loving, thoughtful and caring woman. I imagine she would have been supportive of my decision to have surgery just as yours was. Thank you and congratulations on your well deserved success. All the best to you!
Barbara Ellico did your surgery worked?
I hope everything turned out awesome for you!
Thanks for the inspiration beautiful soul!

These are really well-produced videos....kudos to bodybuilding.com....and congrats to Lyss, my situation isn't as extreme but I can empathize.
God bless her. She's a beautiful person. I can relate to her.
Beautiful face. Not even being overweight as a young child can hide the beauty of your face. I like how you focused on developing a good heart- so much more important than looks.
wow touching i dont know her but im proud of her.
She was beautiful the whole time. Love her story
Damn... this was really moving for me. I could totally relate to her and her eating habits and I am a Guy... Very inspiring!
I appreciate your honesty and admire your success! May I propose that you write about your journey in a book? What you lived through and how you came out of your pain can help a lot of people, especially the younger generation! Yes, share your story because I truly believe that it can change lives for the better! With love from The Pacific Northwest ❤️
She did.
I am very happy for you. Watching this opened up some old wounds. I got to 250 and lost it without surgery (that was the easy route, can’t imagine going through the surgery). We differ in that I am an introvert but we grew up with similar school situations. I had my parents making me feel less then adequate, put the fork down, etc. Every day getting on the bus, hey here comes elephant. I made the decision to lose the weight in my early 40s. I developed the courage to then get out of a toxic marriage. We have a lot of parallel experiences, but some different outlooks afterwords. I learned that people can’t be trusted, can’t be asked for help. You want out of your crap pile, get up and take a shower and move forward. There isn’t going to be hand there to help you up so figure it out. My world is still as lonely, I am just healthier and fun-sized rather than Sam’s industrial sized 😀. I hope to someday find a way to trust people.
this story is so beautiful god damn :'( you go girl
I love her butterfly bracelet. I wish I could find it.
She is awesome. I can relate a bit to her story. Such a beautiful girl.
This story is so inspirational for me, I cant even begin to describe.
Listen, I'm a gay overweight male and I actually think I've fallen in love with this woman after watching this video. Such a huge inspiration. Such a wonderful soul. Such a beautiful person.
Thank you!
Wow!! What a beautiful inspiration! I know it must've seemed impossible. One step in front of the other...lifting 5 more lbs from last time!! Amazing perseverance! I lost 120lbs!! Working on strength now.
YOU SHOULD BE SO PROUD❣
She's so pretty! Congrats on your transformation girlie! You've worked so hard.❤
I just had the sleeve on Thursday I needed to see your video I needed this .. thank u
Davida Serr how are you doing now?
I hope you're doing really well after getting the sleeve.
I can relate to this, I was very fat all my life, heaviest at 310! now im 140 pounds and even with surgery 15 yrs now, I still eat small amounts, but exercise was the key to keeping fit.
her talking about her cutting and seeing the school councillor telling them that she was gonna do something bad if she didn’t get help is something i’ve done and it bought me back to my lowest point
Very inspirational! I had RNY in 2003, just celebrated 19 years post op on 2/11/2022, I have kept off my 100lbs, and I now coach Pre & Post WLS clients and do exactly what you said, "there is no magic pill!" We must start with Self-Love and go from there. Thank you for your vulnerability, it evoked a lot of raw emotion for me. I will never foget or regret!
5 years of dedication and discipline - everyone can achieve their dreams🙏🏻😊💯
Identify your demons and systematically battle them ✊🏼🙏🏻♥️
Hello Lyss Remaly 😊 I'm Elsie from Schaumburg, Texas I just saw your video today 01/01/22 by the way Happy New Year to you and your family. This video was from 5 years ago, but it was very inspiring and I just wanted to let you know how proud I was of what you accomplished you worked hard and deserved to be proud of your self God bless you sweetheart ❤
Even when she was overweight she was beautiful! 💙
No she wasn't 😂😂😂 wtf
Brigen Muchaj yes she was and still is bitch
Please stop lying. And get real
Beautiful, but so unhealthy.
Perhaps on the inside, but being real on the outside she was not.
I'm so very glad that you are still around, Alyssa. You are a wonderful woman and to go through the pain of sharing your story with others is so very kind, loving, and wonderful of you. I really can relate to your story and have been there. Your message is so very helpful. Thank you and God bless you.
Great victory story... so many people suffer in silence. She has a great personality, just needed to break the emotional eating addiction. She did great, an overcomer. Her skin shrunk without flab too, very inspirational
I had Bariatric surgery 7 months ago. Let me tell you I have to work for every single freaking pound that drops. I have wanted to start weight training and this is the perfect motivation. 🌸🌷🌼 Thank you.
Atwater Village Mommy, how are the surgery results coming along?
wow she touched my soul ❤️ as someone who has struggled and got weight loss surgery and then realized omg it isn't the magic pill everyone says it is. thankful she's shedding light on this huge issue.
This woman is so honest and refreshing to listen to as she details her issues and weight loss journey. Gastric surgery for a lot of people can be the best option but it isn't a fix all if there are mental health issues due to a life time of being fat and you still have to exercise and learn to eat right or you will regain the weight + more. She takes total responsibility for her weight but I place a lot of blame on her parents. She was obese at a very young age back when the parents controlled what food was being purchased at the store, and had an influence over her being active. I get the feeling that this family being so close and loving also allowed her to do as she pleased because they loved her no matter what and didn't want to tell her "No" or feel like they were depriving her. They must of been heartbroken over her tormented life at school but did they ever seek professional help for her? She said she would sneak food to her room which her parents can not watch her 24/7 but what was she sneaking to her room? Cookies, cake, candy? If those things then shame on the parents for bringing the junk food in to the home when their daughter had a serious issue with food. If she is just sneaking bread, left overs from dinner, etc. then that's a whole other story. Parents would of had to keep all the food under lock and key which would of made her even more obsessed over food. I've watched this video twice as I really like her positive bubbly personality and find her very inspiring.
This is so similar to my childhood and young adulthood story! My moment was being kicked off the rollercoaster because they couldn't put the bar down - Going to be undergoing my surgery in 12 Days :) Love hearing this story!
So sorry that she had to experience that she is a very pretty young lady. Dimples nice skin tone. Such a pretty young lady. Eyes are pretty. Shame on those people for making her feel bad about herself. I love her because she a child of God.
You are a child of God. Much love to you!
What a wonderful comment
very inspiring. that was the quickest 20 mins I have ever watched. great job.😊
Wow!! Thanks for sharing your story!! I’m so proud of you that 1) You had the courage to ask your counselor for help and 2) You achieved the goals that you set out to do-you’re very determined and very strong! Bless you!! We’re fortunate that you are present today and alive to tell your story!! You sharing your story could save so many lives!! Thank you!!
I am in tears...This is my story to a "T". Back in May 2007 I was 367lbs and heavy my whole life!!! It took 2 yrs and I lost 225lbs. I am down to around 142lbs. Been keeping it off for 11yrs now. I did not do any surgery. Came close..I was looking for an answer...something to fix me and get this weight off. I have found out now that being heavy is NOT about the food. It is not knowing how to live life without binging on food. Using the tools and resources even when I didn't feel like and felt too uncomfortable without my trigger foods. I feel like a million bucks. I feel like a barbie doll now. I am so empowered mentally and emotionally. This is sooooo worth it!!!! Thank you Lyss for your story and we can start saving lives and people no longer have to live a life of misery and start living a life of hope and passion beyond your wildest dreams!!!!!!
I’m not skinny I’m not fat either, but one thing I’m not happy with how my body looks so I’m going to change it, you guys on the journey with me?:))
I hope you still are I'm in my second year!! 💪💪
Yess
your not alone!!

I never took effort to leave comment on any video until I watched this! @Lyss Remaly you are a true inspiration for people out there who are not only over weighted but also who given up on there dreams who scare to look straight up in eyes of the world. Thank you to @Bodybuilding.com and @Lyss Remaly to share such inspiring story.

Your story is amazing, inspiring and transcends so many barriers. Thank you soooooooo much for sharing. I've been working on myself ..kinda like your 1st aweee moment.. now this video and given me that 2and aweee moment to push harder and further. Thank you and God bless.
She’s a great motivational speaker. She speaks with such passion and emotion🤗
Absol. beautiful eyes, face, personality. Any man would be lucky to get this one. Wish I was 30 again.

+Frank From Upstate NY A man with a beautiful heart from a beautiful part of the country. I'm down south now, but I once visited Albany for work and loved the place - the fall is gorgeous there. I had some of the best beer of my life Albany too. :)
Frank From Upstate NY how old are you 😂
❤️❤️❤️It's funny how it just takes that day where you wake up and say... THAT'S IT!!! I'M DONE. It's a beautiful story. It's an incredible change. It's also a JOB to make sure you stay healthy. You are an inspiration. Congratulations on an amazing journey and may your future journey be as accomplished as this one. 😊
I'm going through this fight right now. It's so hard, but I have to do it. I do feel alone, and I feel scared and I feel damaged. In 4 months I've went from not being able to stand up for more than a minute outside my front door to speed walking and jogging for an hour every day.
I don't know if I'll find anyone who'll accept me when I've lost all of the weight but I hope I do. I'm scared to face the loose skin and the scars. I have done it just with diet and exercise and it feels so amazing to be in control of my addiction once and for all. I've lost 70lbs in 4 months. I have a long way to go but I WILL do it. I was addicted to food, and believe me, it's an addiction. Unless you have experienced it and been in the thick of the sugar and carb addiction, it's hard to understand why people get as fat as they do. Thank you for sharing your story, Lyss. You made me cry and not feel so alone after all.
Incredible story. Most people don’t realize how difficult it is to be disciplined and consistent in the training and diet. One piece of advice that I have for people is once you develop the habit of consistent diet and training you sort of rewire your body to expect it if that makes sense.
Me and Lyss have very similar stories, when she was talking about her parents it really struck a chord. I’m not a bodybuilder yet but I’m well on the way. If anyone reading this is struggling, I promise you can do it. You just have to take the first step.
You are absolutely amazing. Your story touched my heart. We have different journeys, but yours inspired me.
She’s such an inspiration. Love her story. I know one of the tools that help me along with working out is intermittent fasting I wish so many more people knew about this. I think it helps a lot.
Yes, intermittent fasting helped me lose weight as well and is a great tool but I just listened to a video that said you can't do serious body building if you're intermittent fasting. It said you needed to fuel you body more often when body building.
What an absolutely brilliant mother. Props to the lady for losing weight, that took a lot of work I'm sure, but mothers like this are rare.
Thank you so much for being absolutely honest about your life and your struggles. You are an inspiration
Very encouraging I’m still working on my journey so far I’ve lost 150 lbs very inspiring thank you for sharing
Amazing story of an overcoming... your brave, disciplined and beautiful soul..
ok I do have to get off my fat ass and work it.
Pseudonorm Same here. Gotta put the work in at this point. Had the surgery 4 years ago, lost 80lbs, stopped on a dime. Even with the surgery, eventually you gotta put the work in. I woke up today and told my self "it's time"

Lorelai me too
WOWWWW you are an example!!! You are so brave and blessed of having such a family, loving parents. That´s the source of everything! Congratulations!!!
What a truly inspiring story Lyss, amazing job and I hope that this video shows people out there that no matter what the situation you're in, things can always be done to fix it.
Great work and dedication on her part, I have a very similar story to her, minus the wealthy happy loving caring family and the surgery, I had an extremely abusive childhood. but I can understand everything that she was talking about. she was killing herself and luckily nothing ever happened to her, what made my ass change my habbits was getting a heart attack at the age of 17 I also have before and after pics for proof
Sorry you had it so rough BUT you've shown great strength of character and willingness to rise above your circumstances, so congratulations! I think your story may deserve more admiration because of that.
Iluv Merengue thank you :) you are very kind :)

You're welcome, keep it up and you'll get far, life's nothing but a school where we get constantly tested and if we "get it" it becomes a lot easier. If you haven't read the book "The Secret" I highly recommend it, or any other dealing with the Law of Attraction (there are tons of videos about it here on YT, btw).
I'd love yo hear your story.
Yes, living well is the best revenge against our abusers.
Teared up. Very inspiring video. Started working out, have lost 20 lbs. Started running 6 days ago too. Very fun being active again.
I have struggled off and on with my weight. Like you I have been overweight most of my life. My biggest weight was in middle school at 212 pounds. No one ever treated me with any dignity and I was tormented throughout middle school. You had support from your parents. I was actually picked on. And by my own mom😪 It mellowed down in HS as I fluctuated in weight off and on. It wasnt until I was 28 years old and started running(thought it was funny you mentioned you hate it...i love it!). I ran my first 5k in 2010 and won the women's section. The woman at the stand couldn't believe I came in first. It was so mean. Yea you can be a chubby girl and run fast. It wasn't till 2013 I lost about 90 pounds. So I was down to 145. To make a long story short I am back at my weight of 212...i had 2 kids and gained a lot of it back. I have been so disappointed in myself. I am slowly getting back out there, but it has been rough. You motivate me to start again. Thank you for encouraging me to be me, but to remember, my health is number one🙏💪
God bless you and you are so beautiful lady💪🙏🙏❤inside and out❤
I am wondering how theres no loose skin on her belly. .. respect to you vivian. You did it once - you can do it again! Love from Austria♥️🇦🇹♥️
