    My mentality about being watched at the gym changed as I realized that I wasn't looking at anyone else, so why would I think anyone is looking at me? Felt very freeing.
    And you're welcome to be my mom. I'm more than happy to be your 33 year old child. I see how you love your kids. Love me like that. =P

    I think the way you're structuring your health journey is great! I don't even own a scale because I was number obsessed for years so I understand the trauma of dieting. I go by how I feel, how my clothes fit, and the numbers of my labs due to my many health issues.

    @KayeMac693 2 года назад +5

    From what I understand and have been told, increasing protein and doing strength training (lifting weights) helps you lose a lot of weight and then tone. And of course it fills you up. Protein and fiber are key. Super proud of you mom, lol, I love your videos and your outlook on life and just being very down to earth and realistic has been what really brings me back to your channel everytime. 😊

  • @darniataylor7749
    @darniataylor7749 2 года назад +8

    Thanks for sharing your journey, it really does help! My problem is that I *don't* eat. I have a tumor and, among other things, it affects my memory and hunger (I *never* feel hungry), so I have to remind myself to eat. Because of this, my body feels like it's being starved and holds on to *any* and *all* calories it does get, causing me to be overweight. I now set meal alarms and drink at least one protein drink a day and try to be as active as possible.

    I love your videos. I've been following you for some time now. Congrats on your weight loss. You are doing so well on your weight loss journey.I'm a WW member and have lost 130 pounds over a two year period. Losing weight is hard, but if your have the right mindset and determination, it can be done. The first time I watched one of your videos, you did a grocery haul at a HyVee store. I knew you had to be a midwest gal. I live in Des Moines, so I'm familiar with different food brands (like AE dairy products). Keep up the great work. You really help to keep me motivated.

I’ve noticed that I’m finally comfortable in my plus size skin to not care about what people think in the gym anymore…I love the tip about watching RUclips at the gym to learn how to use machines! I have also been trying to think about how I feel after I workout…it’s like therapy and when I remember that it makes it easier to keep going

    Congrats on 11.5lbs! It’s so refreshing to see realistic weight loss journeys like yours! I think so many of us think we have to strive for “perfection” or 100% “clean” eating for weight loss. I lost 50lbs 2020-2021, and I ate a little of everything (I even went out and enjoyed a drink sometimes!) It’s all about thinking balance and abundance, not restriction or limitation. 💚

    Jen, Congratulations on your progress, you have to do what works for you. Like you, I’ve dabbled in the multiple weight loss “groups”. My doctor has made some suggestions, however, she agreed that I don’t consume a lot of food, but I don’t follow any routine. So I’ve started eating at normal times and giving up the after dinner snacks. I’ll see how that works.🤪

    Well done, you’re doing awesome! And your spot on with what you say about the calories. Why cut down to the bare minimum calories only to find yourself hungry and then end up eating more. You’re doing it the right way, slow gradual weight loss is also better and you want something you can sustain. Keep up the good work and btw, your hair is gorgeous, love the colour 🥰

    I think adding extra protein to your diet is the right way to go and not denying yourself a treat every once in a while. Repetition is the best way to form a habit.

    I absolutely love these videos, they have really been helping me stay on track for my health goals. I like how reasonable and balanced you are.

Idk something about these videos just hits right!

    I recently lost 90 pounds. Started at my highest weight ever 340. I was never overweight as a child and teen but gained a lot after having a lot of back to back surgeries in my early 20s. Was going to get a gastric sleeve but decided not to after they said I would only lose 70 pounds. I had already had 5 back surgeries and I didn’t think another surgery was worth it and decided to try it on my own. I had a slow start - I am diabetic and was addicted to sugar soda (Fanta is my kryptonite) and landed in the hospital with keto acidosis. That scared me enough to quit the soda and the weight just started falling off. That doctor who wanted to give me the gastric bypass told me I wouldn’t be able to lose the weight on my own but I did. I have a hiatal hernia right now which makes me nauseous a lot so that also helped. I also left a job I was miserable at and when I was there I was constantly snacking on something. Now they want to fix my hernia and I’m scared I’m gonna gain weight because I can’t do much exercise due to my back (I’m disabled and can’t work) and have neuropathy in my legs but I do what I can. It took about 4 years for me to drop the weight so it doesn’t happen overnight. If any of you are on a weight loss journey don’t be hard on yourself. Keep up what you can and don’t be afraid to treat yourself once in awhile. I don’t count calories. I did for awhile but it made me crazy. I’m a very picky eater (I eat like a toddler haha) so I just focus on eating what I want but a smaller portion. I try not to snack but if I do I try do snack on something beneficial like a cheese stick (protein like Jen said is your friend) You can do anything. Just don’t give up. Remember it isn’t a diet. It’s a lifestyle change. I believe in you! Keep up the good work.
    Haha thanks for coming to my TED talk. 😂

    Kitchen scale is key for me. It sucks but keeping track that meticulously is the only way I can do it successfully. I measure whatever out and put the rest away before I eat it. Especially for snacks so I know I can eat all of what I measured without guilt. Ultimately I'm never hungry and I'm having fun learning all kinds of new healthy recipes. Down 25 pounds over 4 months.
