Trials, heartbreak and sadness... it happens to all of us. It's about picking yourself up and finding your happiness. The gym became mine and I'm so happy it's helped so many of you too. I have so much love for you, thank you for following me on this journey and sharing your own. Xo
Whitney Simmons I love you so much babe. 😭😭Thank you for sharing. You're amazing boo😘
Whitney Simmons I said it before, but i'll repeat myself, you are beautiful inside and out Whit. I love to hear you share some of your life story, as you seem to have a good head.
I know vlogmas has been exhausting for you, but i'm sure i'm not the only one appreciating you pushing throught and opening up to us! LOVE YOU!
Whitney Simmons ilysm 💝
Whitney Simmons you rock girl! you're an inspiration to all of us. I'm so glad you've found your happiness and are sharing that with others 😀😀
Whitney Simmons it's always hard to take a step from comfort to courage, even when what seems "comfortable" is truly bringing you down...and you recognized it and did it!!!! #overcomer proud of you 💜
"This was the place that I went for my mental health" That part of you video.. Wow. I bawled like a baby. It's so true. It IS therapy.
I might not comment much but I've been watching your videos for a long time. Thank you for always being so down to earth. Thank you for this video!
this video was a RIDE. I have never watched somebody on RUclips tell a story and you really feel their sadness, passion, and happiness, and frustration peek though their words as they speak about their past and problems. What an inspiration you are Whit. I am so glad I found your channel! I am sure so many people were able to relate in some way, shape, or form with your experience.
Almost cried watching this. I started to hit the gym regularly last February and I've had a wonderful 2016. I got a bf, a healthy and good looking body, had people asking me how I did it, and the most important thing was I became more and more confident about myself. If I didn't start doing this, I'd have been sitting in front of my laptop eating and doing nothing all day. Not feeling confident about yourself is miserable, so is not having goals in your life. Shout out to all the insecure people out there, try out the gym, it could be your therapy. It works for me and tons of tons of people. Hope y'all having a good start of 2017! :)
Totally agree!! we need to have goals in life to keep us going and make us happy and content with ourselves! :)
I just went back today for the first time in a year which is why I'm binge watching Whitney's videos. I burned 300 calories on the stairstepper and I kept going when I felt like I was going to die (I'm realllllly out of shape) and when I stepped off I was so, so proud of myself. My face was beat red, I was dripping sweat and gasping for air but I had finished it. I went home and made myself a healthy lunch and damnnn I feel like I could move mountains rn
Am I the only guy that is subscribed to her? A guy needs a booty too right? Plus she is so positive and down to earth. I recently started going to the gym... again for the thousandth time. This time I plan to stick with it and eat healthier. Tired of being that chubby funny friend.
Karl Seibel Jr meee too Karl, the chubby funny friend. lol that is meeee
Yassss become the funny fit friend
2 years since you posted this comment. Did you change?
I'm probably replying two years late but You do You, Karl ! And, yes, even I am trying to get back at weight training. I go to the gym but gave up weight training. realised, how important it is to build up your strength and it helps to lose fat as well ! I wanna know what's your current status !!!!
Man come on reply did you reach your goals? I’m so invested now lol
I literally felt like I was hearing myself talk here. The gym has always been, and always will be, my escape. I went through the same kind of situation in the sense that I was just feeling low and bad about myself. The gym changed that. It became the place I went to no matter what I was feeling. UGH this video spoke to me girl. We're doing this for ourselves and THAT'S the most important thing
Courtney Blue i like how you kind of lose yourself and focus on the workout while you’re at the gym. Plus the endorphins help :)
The gym is my escape and I do it for me
I was about to cry. Working out saved me from depression.
This was the first video of yours I ever saw. “You know what, I didn’t look bad..... but I FELT bad”
That has stuck with my for YEARS. I come watch this video when I’m feeling bad and need a push. My starting point is someone else’s goal, but every person is different. Love you, girl.
I feel ya Whit!! I failed a class in college which was so pivotal to my current track in nursing school that it pushed my graduation date a whole year later. All I could do is wait to take it again the following year and THEN I could complete my degree. I spent the entire spring semester and summer drinking heavily, eating like crap, feeling sorry for myself and just feeling like a huge loser. Once I finally graduated I looked at myself and didn't even know who was looking back at me. I knew I had to make a change! So don't ever feel like any moment that changes your life for the worse is stupid! Gymnastics and cheer was a HUGE part of your life and then it was gone and not by your choice! So glad you found something that made you a healthier you, most importantly on the inside
This literally hit home for me. I was a calendar model for two years in a row. I didn't make it this past year and I've stopped caring about myself. I just stare at my old pictures and I'm sad. This inspired me. Thank you.
"Can't black mail me no mo"
LOL Tell em Whit!!!
I don't think you understand how impactful this video was. I'm currently going through a struggle, a set back on my fitness journey and just hearing the way you describe what working out to you means are words and feelings I have going through my mind all day and everyday. Something I stand for and believe in. I'm glad you shared your story. Makes a lot of us feel and now know that we are not alone. Love you Whit ❤️
Ahh Sheree!! Thank you for this comment. YOU ARE NEVER ALONE. Love you
I know that I’m a bit late, but the gym is also a mental escape for me. I suffer from depression, so regular exercise is something that really helps my mental health. It so nice hearing someone talk about the gym being their “therapy” ❤️❤️❤️❤️ love you Whit xx
I just wanted to let you know that your videos have inspired me to lose 20 lbs. You have given me the tools that I need as far as diet to make meals that encourage weight loss. I feel so much better about myself and have so much more self confidence! Keep doing what you are doing it is truly helping others!
I just want to say you're so bomb. I'm new to the bandwagon but I'm happy I jumped on!!!! Keeping on being an inspiration. :)
HAPPY TO HAVE YOU!!!
Just B. Agreed
Hi Whit, I have never commented on videos, but literally I went through similar down falls in college as you did. The only difference is that I am pre-med, experiencing financial difficulties and pressure from my parents, and worked 20-35+ hrs a week. I also struggled to balance a shaky relationship. I did competitive cheer in HS and that was my de-stressor from life, so when my parents were not supportive of me cheering in college because they thought it would be a distraction, it got to my head and I never tried out.I took summer school every semester so I could graduate to help my parents out, and eventually burned out. I thought I had no limits, but I learned the hard way I am human. I went from having a great body with abs my freshman year, to actually gaining weight my sophomore year as my studies got more stressful. I blamed everything on myself, and played victim, and even thought of ending my life. I reached my breaking point, and realized I am human with flaws, and I need to push myself to not only help myself but others as well. I have been subscribed to you for a good while, and you are one of the main reasons i started to find emotional relief via working out. I am a junior in college, so I could definitely still try out in March, but I think the gym is enough for me. I used to be scared of the gym, because I would be sexually harassed every time, but then I learned the greatness of headphones and wrapping a jacket around my waist in the weight area.
The gym makes me happy, and I have a better body than I ever did on cheer. I love the discipline and pushing myself, which helps me out in my studies as well and grow as a person. Right now I am taking a break from school, but I'm going back in spring, so I'm pretty anxious.
Anyway, Thank you for everything Whitney, and thank you for being yourself. xoxo
Okay SOOO i'm OFFICIALLY OBSESSED WITH YOU😍💕 Beautiful inside and out!
AnitaSamantha I feel the same way!!
Wasnt feeling up to the gym after work, then I remembered what you said in this video; that fitness is a lifestyle. That thought alone got my ass to the gym and my glutes and legs were on fiyah! Thanks girl! You are my fav youtuber!
just go hug ya Dad, omg my heart...
OMG I have said those words.. that the gym saved me... this post made me cry. I was prepping for a figure comp when my dad passed away.. and I would go to the gym and cry through my work outs... It is my therapy as well in so many ways... and I hate the fact that at times, fit girls are judged... we don't think we are hot.. we go to keep sane. thank you for this post. I heart you.
+Linda Taylor Linda, ow my heart. Needed this comment today... needed to be reminded how powerful and strong women like you are. Thank you, much love to you.
Your videos are helping me get over a break up. In the evenings when I'm alone and start moping around. I come view your videos so I won't start reminiscing and be sad.
Jamie Garcia oh I wish I could hug you! Things will be better in no time, just keep going! Team Whitney is here to have your back.
I'm 5'7 250 pounds and have been bullied, abused, raped, and so much more ...2 yrs ago my thought process was poor me and no one understands so I'm going to hate everyone ....through my times growing up I gained weight because I would eat to make myself feel better ...then I started cosplaying (dressing up as characters) and I felt happy and even lost some weight ....then I got made fun of ....by 12-13 yr olds saying I'm to fat to cosplay ..again I got depressed ...gained weight ...then I met my bf in a cosplay charity group and now I'm happy and I want to work out again but this time continue it and keep it up .....this video made me realize that I need to keep trying ,things dont happen right away but that doesn't mean quit ....thank you for the inspiration
Fatal Stitches keep it up girl!😊🙌🏼💪🏼
God bless you sweetheart!
So sorry girl. I hope that you found happiness within yourself and not in your bf. Two totally different things. My moods are determined by how other people feel about me. Working through it though.
I believe in you! Go for it girl!
Im that skinny girl that’s been bullied for being skinny. Believe me, people will always jugde you.... love who you are and make sure you feel happy about you. And f**k the rest. Love from ‘that anoraxia girl’ (who eats A LOT)
You're truly an inspiration. I'm a guy and I find myself motivated by your story. Everyone has highs and lows, but you're an example of how staying active can truly change your life.
I have struggled with my mental health, weight, and motivation with gymming. You single handedly gave me the will power to get off my arse and get working to a clearer mind and body. Thank you for sharing your journey, knowledge and whit tips. Thank you for being awesome and honest. Thank you, thank you. You changed me.
this is so inspiring...I needed to hear this...I'm 37 and I was just diagnosed with RA...it was devastating news...and my boyfriend of 7 years broke things off with me...it has tore me up...but I keep pushing myself because I don't want to give up...I have a son and I won't give up...I have to be strong for him too...thank you for telling your story!
Bethany Johnson honey you will get there a two years ago I was diagnosed with lupus after years of it being undiagnosed and living in pain every day since I was 13. Now I'm back in the gym weightlifting and working on being better... so trust me your progress will be slow but you will a get there. Have faith! :)
Charlotte Lana thank you so much...I wish there were more people out there like you to encourage others...I wish you all the happiness in your journey :)
I relate sooo much to the gym being your mental therapy💗 Would probably go crazy without it
Maryana Dvorska you look AMAZING! I just subscribed.
So weird. I feel like my story is really similar to yours, except the fact I'm only 3 months into being at the gym, but I'm finally happy again. And you are 💯 the reason I've been so motivated at the gym, so thanks whit❤️❤️
The truth is that I have been fighting depression for almost two years and my TDC. I love FIT, it's my therapy but it's the first thing that makes me feel better with his words and motivates me to not stop. GREAT VIDEO 100% 💕
I went through something similar in college and it was a start of a spiral for me too. When your identity is wrapped up in something and then it’s suddenly not a part of your life, it can be so difficult not to mention when that happens at a young age. Thanks for the story and the inspiration!
Don't know what I'll do when whitmas ends your videos are everything❤️❤️❤️❤️
"can't black mail me no mo" hahahahahah dead. if you have siblings you know you've been there at one point.
Finally was able to watch this after finishing finals and I loved it! You've made me realize how important it is for me to stay fit and healthy and keep it more of a lifestyle. People ask how I've lost these 30lbs and I always refer back to your channel. Love this. Love you. 😘
I love love love this video. I have struggled with my mental health throughout my whole life. I would see countless psychologists that would tell me working out significant helps your mental health. I always thought "working out" meant strictly running for hours on end. My mom has always been an active runner and I just realized I hated it, so I never exercised because I hated running. But THEN I found your channel and discovered weight lifting and I ABSOLUTELY love it. It's been about a year for me now and I will wake up at 6am before my classes just to work out. It makes me so happy. So I literally owe it all to you Whitney, thank you.
Whitney, I started watching Nikki religiously about a year ago which then lead me to start watching you. I've been watching you for some time now and take you to the gym with me every day but I literally just now watched your fitness journey and OH GIRL! I am in tears. I needed this today.. I am going through a fresh break up which has lead me to laying in bed and not going to the gym. After watching this I am getting up and heading straight to the gym. Thanks for everything you do and always motivating me. You truly are an inspiration. Love you!
Your story is inspiring! I was a figure skater for 11 years and I can totally relate with you saying how gymnastics helped shape who you are today! 💜
I've spent the last 3 years being really ashamed and embarrassed for who I am and what I look like. I've quit everything I've ever loved because of the self hate and pity I had for myself. Your channel is really inspiring me to get into shape but I'm SO petrified to go to the gym.
I initially came across your channel while looking for arm workouts and I immediately fell in love with your spunk! Today, has been a freaking day. Beating myself up over the excuses, digging into the halloween candy tricking myself into thinking “I’m just not that fitness person.” Then a notification popped up that a new video had been posted, and after browsing your meal preps I stumbled on this one. I am sobbing 😭😭 after the day I’ve had, it’s not a coincidence I’m seeing this a year after you posted it. You are an inspiration and I’m so happy I found this channel!!!!!
This made me cry for some reason... I've been into fitness for little less than a year now... and I think it's such a blessing to be able to enjoy taking care of your body this much! Gym is life.
You remind me of Cher from Clueless. Thank you for the story. It is inspirational.
Thank you !!! Whitney you are an amazing inspiration to me. I have struggled on and off my whole life with using food as a comfort. I was so happy to find your video. You inspire me to be the healthiest happiest version of me!!! I'm 17 pounds down ! And this is just the beginning! Thank you for being you!
Thank you for sharing this! My whole life fell apart my sophomore year of college. And I'm a junior now and I'm having to fix my physical and emotional health. It's so hard. But I've lost 15 pounds this semester. It's hard not to beat myself up for the past. But I'm not mad at myself I didn't know everything that I know now.
I was watching a bunch of your older videos and came across this video. I have so much respect for you. I needed to see this. You truly inspire me. I’ve wasted years of my life eating bad and gaining weight due to depression. You inspire me to not let my depression control me.
Dear Whitney,
I was exactly where you were when I began watching your videos (thankfully, I had the RUclips’s). Your workouts helped me to grow confident in the gym, in myself, and in my capabilities. I’m a year into my workout journey and I’m in another rough spot, I’ve been feeling so emotionally drained and have had no motivation in the past three months until recently. I’m just now watching this video and hearing your fitness journey and it is so in line with the place I was in and just the feelings of discouragement. Thank you for not only teaching us how to look great but FEEL great, one is nothing without the other. Thank you for always popping up on my RUclips list and reminding me to get back in there and keep going. You’re awesome.
YAAAAS since discovering your channel I wait on this every day! I support you so hard that I even watch your ads. Even when I hate them. EVEN THE LONG ONES.
I APPRECIATE YOU SO MUCH
lol aye I sit through the ads too ;D
girl I am legit so inspired. I even put down my cookie i was eating && it was delish seriously lol ! thank you for sharing
Yaassss!! The gym is my mental therapy place too!! Love having goals and then slaying them! Best feeling ever!
Hey Whitney , I'm from Indian and I had tried every possible diet and exercise to loose weight and it never stuck to me . Untill one day when I stumbled upon this video titled "Train for life|Whitney Simmons", where I saw this strong girl lifting weights and I wondered if girls can lift. Then subscribed to your channel. I took a gym membership 6 months back and now I love weight training. It makes me really really happy, alot of people don't understand my passion for it , they comment and criticise , tell me I'll become muscular. It's not about weightloss anymore . It's fitness and life style. I love lifting, and you inspire me every single day . If I feel unmotivated to go to the gym , first thing in the morning I do is watch a Whitney Simmons video ! And then I'm all set to workout . Keep posting more such videos, love you, Girl.❤️
Your pain is valid. Just because someone else has gone tgrough worse, doesnt mean yours isnt important. You are amazing 💗
It's crazy how much life changes once you stop playing the victim! Loved your story, and love you girl 🤗 😘
Delia Noto this is so true!! I have definitely been there. Sometimes I feel myself trying to slip back there. I have to stop myself!
Omg Whitney, I love this video! I can relate in so many ways. This year my heart was broken by someone I had given 3 years of my life to, he was my best friend and I loved him so much only to find that one day he woke up and said he wasn't feeling it anymore on our anniversary! He left me in 2 minutes and I find out that he's clinging onto another chick straight after he dumped me, so that sucked. That pretty much was my rock bottom and for months I spent over eating, not eating at all and sometimes just not moving the whole day! My dad too is into fitness so he tried to help me by encouraging me to go to the gym with him. Since then the gym has been my therapy and has served my physical body and mental health well. Thank you for sharing your story Whitney 💜 You've made a big impact on my life by being so enthuastic about your fitness goals; it's definitely contagious! 💪LYSM ❤
Your story is awesome. Thank you for sharing. Your dad is amazing
The gym has always been there for me. Unemployment, heartbreak, boredom, sadness, all are motivators to get to the gym. Thanks for sharing Whitney.
I have watched this video a number of times and it still keeps motivating me to keep going... I have never been an active person but I’ve never been overweight. But I have never had self confidence and every time I work out I feel relief and I feel 20x better than when I went in. And if I’m not feeling it I just come watch either this video or any other one of your videos and it instantly makes me want to go to the gym, so thank you :)
I know this is an old video but, MAN! I gotta day I love your honesty, humility, and positivity. Truly needed to hear this today. Thank you for these videos.
Can you do a how to foam roll & stretch video
I was a competitive gymnast for 15 years and now I do fitness videos and workout daily as a way to compensate not being able to do gymnastics anymore
Im proud of u. Rock bottom is rock bottom regardless of what situation.. thank u for these inspiring words. I needed this.
Came across your videos just the other day, and immediately fell in love with your personality, your positive attitude and humor! Then this video literally put the cherry on top for me. I did something similar for about 2.5 years just pitied myself to no end. Had a toxic roommate over that period of time after moving out on my own to a brand new city. Literally lost myself. Ate horribly, didn't workout, always slept when I wasn't at work, and consumed way too much alcohol. And all the above blah, blah, blah. But I guess what I am trying to say is, I found a comfort almost in being able to relate to your type of "rock bottom" in a way. I don't have this crazy back story of why I finally chose my fitness journey. And you don't always need a crazy back story you just need to get out there for yourself and fall in love with yourself and the process. Mine is only just beginning but seeing where you have come from and where you are now with your fitness makes me so motivated and excited for what I will accomplish in the next year and on! Thank you for being freaking awesome!!!
So before this I thought you were someone that was always fit and athletic and went from school sports to working out, After this I can definitely relate to you more bc I used to be athletic until three years ago. I’ve been going to the gym with my boyfriend and it has made me feel so much better
So glad that you started your fitness journey, you're the reason I started mine. ❤️❤️❤️
Erin Crow get it girl. You got this!
I relate to you so much with how your fitness journey began. I myself was having the worst year, and so many changes were happening and then my boyfriend broke up with me, and so to take my mind off of everything I began to work out on top of school all day, and then work after school. It truly became my escape and me time as well. It makes me feel so good, so many of my friends don't understand it but you did which is awesome. I love the gym and it's nice to have someone who can relate
I have never related so deeply with someone's' fitness journey. The road to our beginning was different but I just hit my one year mark this month and I can also say the gym is my therapy.
This almost made me tear up, I'm so so so inspired. Thank you.
"Can't blackmail me no more!" Only someone with a brother would understand that smirk. lol
Working out is my therapy too Girl ❤️
I just want to say thank you so much for being such an incredible inspiration. I'm 43 years old and for the past 8+ years I have been bed-ridden and wheelchair bound due to having Spondylolytic Spondylolysthesis. Basically, I have a broken/slipped disc at the L5-S1 junction. After hitting rock bottom mentally and physically (to the point that a speeding city bus looked like a fantastic solution) I decided it was time for me to get up and do something about it. I started just walking at first. I was amazed at how much better I felt just getting up and around. I've been exercising and walking for about 2 months now. I felt so great after a month of walking that I joined a gym and got a Personal Trainer who had done part if her internship at a physical therapy clinic. Since I started working with her and AROUND my limitations I have felt amazing! I stumbled across one of your videos after looking up glute workouts and I have been watching religiously since. Admittedly, as much as I would love to be able to, I just can't do some of the exercises. BUT, I find it so much easier to adapt them to myself and my limitations. Your attitude and encouraging nature is incredibly infectious! 😄 Thank you so much for being amazing and keep up the great work. I can't wait to see your next video! ❤
So crazy. Just scrolled through and started watching this. So cool to see ur growth. Ur honestly my favorite fitness influencer. Thank you so much for being true to you. 💕
can you do a period video? lol like how you deal with it especially on gym days pleaseee
Edith Morales TMI girl
I just started following you, but have loved every one of your videos. Thank you for sharing your journey!
So happy to have you Judy!! xo
Thank you! I should add - I am @rads2015 on IG. I don't have my own YT channel, but am active on IG. I follow you there as well. :)
This happened to me. 3 months ago I found out that my husband was having an affair and left me 10 days after I had our baby. Since then Ive taken care of my life... lost 50 lbs so far and started lifting weights about a month ago. Gym is my therapy!!!
Omg your ex is such a deuchebag. I Hope you are in a better place in your life now
Four years later your story still inspires ❤️ thank you for being yourself. You have touched my life in such a special way ❤️
Every once in a while I lose motivation to go to the gym, usually because i'm so tired with school and work (nurse back in school upgrading to a degree). When this happens, like others, I turn to the internet to find healthy recipes, workouts, etc.... Usually i leave feeling just as bad as when i started searching. It's videos like this that inspire me to continue to work on myself and motivate me. I know this is an old video of yours, but you are truly one of the few people I follow on social media that I don't personally know. I have followed and unfollowed so many people because they don't seem to have meaning, beyond fame and fortune. You are truly inspiring. Keep doing you girl. We need you :)
I'm 18 and I want to start working out because I want to feel good and I want to look good. I weigh 150 right now but I want to gain muscle and get firm and I've been binge watching your videos for the past couple days and you've really inspired me even more to go for it! Xx
Whhaaaaatt no before pictures?
+Sara Brunner I post them on my IG!
You little smarty pants, that's one way to get more IG followers!
Sara Brunner right Wtf....
I don't have IG :/ can you upload a video with your before pictures 😘
don't worry they aren't on IG either. just checked lol thumbnail just click bait I guess
Seriously love your attitude! And the way you decided to push back and pick yourself up again, it's so motivating! :)
Thank you for posting this & being so honest.
Everyone's rock bottom is different & no one should compare. I empathise with your rock bottom, mine was the death of my daughter & now I live in gym but it took years to get there. I was fit & active before but the rock bottom stops you doing everything including socialising. They gym saved my life & mental state. Never underestimate the power of endorphins through fitness. If anyone here if worried about getting up & going, don't, once you have been a few times you form a habit & any worries disappear ❤️
I rewatch this video so much. My motivation goes up and down but anytime I hear your story it makes me so inspired to take care of myself. I have two kids and that has been difficult getting there with the two of them but I love your “victim” statement. I can be a good mom and take care of myself at the same time. Thank you. You’re one of the most authentic fitness you tubers i watch. You are the main person i follow and you are the one who originally inspired me to get back into it.
It was the first time I actually connected 100% with a fitness story. Thanks for sharing your story. It really hit my heart and made me think what going to the gym meant for me. Anyways, thank you!!
I needed to watch this story. Thanks girl
2016 youtube: not ur thing
2019 youtube: MY FITNESS JOURNEY
This was the video that got me into fitness years ago. This video saved me and every once in a while I come back to it. I let myself go again recently, but I’m watching again, the same way I did the very first time
You're seriously the biggest inspiration ever!! Because of you I started going to the gym and I've been feeling so much better than before thank you so much I'm forever grateful
🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 why would anyone dislike this video?
The gym saved me too ❤️
Whitney: I ate two double doubles
Me, a Canadian: Wut
I’m American and I don’t know what she’s talking about haha. Although if I had to guess it would be a McDouble maybe 🤷🏼♀️
In-n-out (it's a burger chain, their double doubles are fantastic)
😂😂😂 Its burgers
i’m crying with you watching this because this is exactly how i feel about the gym
I'm actually in tears.. this is just, amazing. I'm so glad I found you Whitneey you've already helped me so much
❤️❤️❤️
Working out is the same for me, my mental state and it has helped me so much. I love it 💜
Loved this! You're such an inspiration to me and so many others!! Thank you:)
I love the honesty in this video. It's not a click bait and it's very genuine. Thank you for telling your story, especially the ups and downs of life. As another girl who is and was apart of many sports teams, this truly shows how talent can only get you so far and hard work is were true progress begins. Great video!
This is exactly what im doung it for! Im a sahm. I had two boys back to back literally i gave birth in june 2016 and july 2017. I also have 3 kids from my previous marriage so 5 kids and a husband who is gone fron 3 or 4 am until 8pm. Im cleaning cooking paying bills wiping asses shopping doctors appointments etc etc etc. I always feel like everything i do is for someone else. I started to feel like i had nothing to live for then i started taking walks. Now im buyung different foods and lifting what i have which isnt much but im learning off youtube and trying to dedicate time for me to feel better about myself and do something for just me. I feel so good and my kids have been being more active and going to the park to play tennis and stuff with me. Theyve been cooking healthy snacks with me. I feel so good. Even though its only been about a month since i started and got off restrictions for my c section. Everyday i have made progress and im learning and your channel is helping so much. You really inspire me and get me pumped when i feel like not today uggh. I watch you and feel like lets do this girl!! I just wanted to share a little with you and tell you i really appreciate your channel. Thank you keep going girl!!!
I really like to go to the gym... but I love food sooo much :(((
I wish she posted photos not just on the thumbnail
Great video Whitney!! 👍🏻 Health and fitness really is a journey.. I gained quite a bit of weight after my daughter passed away but I have lost all of that plus more ..and now I love lifting weights (and running 😜) **side note - I LOVE how you part your hair so far over to one side because that is exactly what my daughter always did!! She was an athlete and she is my inspiration for the fitness lifestyle and so are you 💕 xo
This was so sweet
Stay strong momma
this... SO MUCH. I cant pinpoint to just one reason why I started working out. it was to be healthier it was to be "skinnier" it was to "look hot so ----- likes me back."
but one thing for sure: the superficial reasons didnt stick around for too long. but wanting to feel good, look good, and stay motivated vs a pity party my life sucks blah blah blah? that's what keeps me going.
LOVE that you talked about how the gym is your therapy! it truly is, it's for sure what has saved me and still gets me through the good the bad the ugly.
I can relate to this so much. I almost dropped out of university because my anxiety was overwhelming me to the point where I could barely get out of bed. This caused me to become depressed and I never made any friends on campus. I decided that I had to stop feeling sorry for myself and do something about my mental health. I got put on anxiety meds and eventually found weightlifting and feel so much better about myself. I still have yet to make friends, being in my second semester of uni but I’m much happier and passing. One thing at a time I guess... your videos are so motivating ❤️❤️❤️
Geez Whitney you are making me tear up over here!!
I can totally relate to this, however even though ive been going to the gym regularly (4 times a week, increasing weights and doing HIIT) and am on a constant diet, i have definitely not seen as much results as you have. 4 years ago i lost 2.5 stones and since then my weight has fluctuated. I am at quite a good weight now but Im not really happy with the shape of my body. My fat accumulates around my abdomen so Ive never had abs in my life and have slight muffin tops. A year ago ive started doing mostly core training and abs (before i used to do total body workouts mostly), as my goal is to finally have my abs showing, but its taking so long!! I dont think im capable to the gym twice a day, even though its therapeutic for me too. Now ive started intermittent fasting and i can proudly say my obliques are peaking through. I cant help seeing youtube videos though and wondering whether certain people just have good genes....its such a struggle and ive been over a year giving it my best and im still not satisfied with the results. Is it normal for progress to take this long? Can you/anyone relate? Im really getting desperate now as im feeling that my goals are impossible to reach without doing anything drastic
When u said a large coke in a McDonald's styrofoam cup I knew u were my spirit animal!!
