I’ve lost nearly 20kg and I have 10kg left to go! I can’t believe that I am nearly to single digits of kg’s left to lose! Consistency is really all it takes! Your channel has helped so much! Thank you!!❤
Well done you 😊🎉
What i love to listen to on my walks, is me. 😂I record myself thinking about what I'm doing in my life, how I could make things work better, what is going well, what I love...... just an audio journal.
It's weird to say, but I am so eager to hear back what I said on my walk. It helps me organize those thoughts (sort of like morning pages, brain dump but audio).
It makes me look forward to my walk. And as I'm listening I come up with new and better ideas. Sometimes on my way back I'll record the feelings and thoughts that came up on the audio.
I find it to be so motivational and also keeps me grounded in myself. I am surprised how much I love this practice and how it makes me eager to get walking.
Great video! To anyone sitting on the fence, do it! I remember during one of my morning walks tearing up because it was working and thinking to myself what if i hadn't found Bodyslims? I would have been in a continual state of sadness about not being able to beat this weight problem> I felt so so humbled. As a side note, the amount of actual fat you lose is striking- its incredible!! I felt so good, mentally, physically and my self confidence grew so much!! Please do this for yourself!! thank you Carla!!
Thank you for sharing Denise. X
🥀I've signed up for September 2024 BodySlims and I'm so excited! A little scared too, but watching your videos where you answer all the questions has helped me so much with that fear and I feel better prepared. Thank you for all that you do!
Hi Annette, can you please tell me how much does the program cost? Thank you.
You finally got me Carla! Just signed up ❤😅😊 I’m from texas and have about 15-24 lbs to lose. I have lost 30lbs thru other programs but ten pounds have already crept back on. My dare to dream weight is 140! I’m 5’9”.
You got this! Amazing achievement!!
Ah, you've convinced me and I've signed up for the September cycle. I tried BodySlims once before, but found it hard to commit to all the different pieces. This time I know more about what to expect and what to make time for. You really have to treat it like being in a grad school course with lectures and homework. This time I'll plan better for watching all the content and for the exercise (I have injuries that can flare up with walking, but I'm going to use swimming on painful days). You're inspiring!!
That’s exactly what happened to me my first cycle. I like how you compared it to being in a grad school course. After watching this video Carla has convinced me to try again too, Carla you are very inspiring.

🌹 liking it is optional - that really got me
Set to start on the 20th and I can't wait! I'm feeling all the feels, but mostly I'm confident that this will be the last weight loss journey I'll ever have to make! 🌹
🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
I'm on this cycle too. How's it going?
@@lauramonahan9343 it's a little tough with the food but but I'm managing the walking!! I struggle on the weekends. 😕 How about you? Are you in the BS group on FB?
I'm getting ready to start Body Slims next week (Sept 2023). I have already been doubting myself and thinking I shouldn't have wasted my money on yet another program that I'll probably fail at. But, the money has been paid and I can't change my mind now, so I was going to give it a try. This video answered so many questions and has given me hope that I CAN do it, I DIDN'T waste my money, and I'm actually looking forward to getting started now! Thank you, Carla!
Yeay!! So delighted, if i can you can too xx
I'm in this cycle too. How's it going for you? I'm doing ok so far.
It's going well so far - one day at a time! I can't believe we already have 14 days behind us! I've lost 5.6 pounds so far - how about you? @@lauramonahan9343
@@cruisepuppyhey, I’ve just signed up to the January one, how are you both getting on now?x
@@stephburke2010 It just ended yesterday and I lost a total of 15.2 pounds in 10 weeks. I know it's not the huge numbers some people have, but I'm totally thrilled! Not bad for a 66 yr old gal who'd been slowly gaining weight back over the past couple years and who felt hopeless and helpless. This program totally changed my mindset and as you can see, my results as well! I've also signed up for January 2024 and in that round, I hope to reach my goal once and for all! Did you just do this round, or will January be your first time?
🌹This video was amazing and it fits in perfectly with where I’m at right now. I’ve been doing IF really intentionally and on Tuesday it clicked in my head that I won’t have to do it forever… I just need to do it long enough to take off what I put on daily over time. Then I’ll get to live in maintenance. You reaffirmed what I realized. No more yo-yo effect. Thank you Carla! 🌹
I saw 59 minutes of video and I was excited. It was PERFECT for taking on my walk. ⚘️⚘️
Thank you Kim, normally people give out about the length. I’m a fan of a lengthy video too xx
Sold! Thank you, Carla! Looking forward to starting🌹
Thank you for clarifying so much!
🌺 Thank you Carla, felt very spoiled getting a long video from you 💗
🌺 Thank you so much! BRILLIANT video!!
Thank you! I signed up two days ago and can’t wait to start. 🌹
🌹 can't begin to tell you how much you have helped me and been an inspiration. Because of you I have had the courage to change my life for the better. I watch you everyday!
Thanks Carla, looking forward to starting my first round.
Thank you Carla. 🌹🌹
🌹 Thank you Carla! I have been listening to your videos during my 1 hour walks and it really helps!
Nailed it again Carla 👌⚘
🌹Thank you Carla for an absolutely amazing, informative and inspirational video! I can't wait for round 2 to start in September, and I promise, I'll watch and participate like it was my first time! Great advice! BodySlims couldn't have a better ambassador than you.❤
Thank you so much xx
I’m excited to begin on September 20th. Thank you Carla for this Q&A 🌹
Very helpful Carla, I’m joining on the 20th…. Can’t wait now. Thank you 🙏
🌹Thanks Carla💮 I spent the summer maintaining my loss, and I start my second round in September! You and your journey have been such a support❤ Thanks so much for all you share!!⚘⚘🌹🌹💮💮⚘⚘🌹🌹
🌹You’re awesome Carla!!
Great info Carla 🥀
Thank you Carla! This was a very helpful video, you answered a lot of questions I had and reminded me of a bunch of things I had not kept in mind. 🌹
I love my hour walk... even without my music or podcast. To set a timer and just get to move and think and see nature and just move is a blessing to me. Im grateful to be able to move
❤ love your videos. You were my inspiration for joining in May. It’s been a long wait but I’m down a little over 8 lbs this week. Not easy but not hard either. Thx for all the videos.
Thank you Carla - I'm 20.5 stone and i can't wait to start Sept 20! Blessing to you 🌹
Thanks Carla 😊 Can't wait to get started again. 6.5 stone gone for good..going to chip away at the rest of the extension 💪💪🖤🖤🖤🌹🌹🌹
Thank you so much for posting this. I’ve been following you since the summer wondering if this program will work for me. I’ve decided to give it a shot. I signed up for the September round. I also purchased the artist’s way, and started my morning pages yesterday. I’m hopeful that this will be my last “first time.” Thank you for the impact and content you give, Carla. 🌹🌹🌹
🌹thank you so much! You answered all my questions. I’m looking forward to changing my mind and my relationship with food and finally being free to fully live my life.
Inspiring & motivational video for everyone today. Very true about the naysayers & the ones who will try to sabotage your efforts. The whole purpose is doing this for yourself. Thank you being such an amazingly honest, positive & lovely person Carla! 🌹❤️🥰
🥀🌹❤ Thanks for sharing, Carla! I’ve been struggling lately as I am/was so close to my original goal weight (up 10 lbs from my lowest) and it’s getting harder to get there. But mostly it’s getting hard mentally because I’ve realized my original goal weight will be “good” but not great…I definitely won’t be content at that weight. I like what you said about getting to great will help you be more you have better chances of being able to maintain.
I have been going through your videos and decided to sign up. Sadly I missed the current session so wont officially start until April BUT I am taking a tip from your videos and "starting" now. Will push for a daily hour walk so when it officially starts, I have that down pat and can build with the more mental focus learning. So thank you, I really hope this is the ticket since nothing else seems to stick.
Thank you for this🌹😘
I am really on the fence about signing up! I love your videos Carla and you have been extremely inspiring 🌹Las month I re-started Keto once more and was able to lose 15lbs but I am now struggling and really thinking about how I can sustain being on Keto for the long run. Body Slims seems like the perfect option. I’m already doing IF and have as much weight to lose as you did at the beginning of your journey. Joining has been on my mind for a long time and it seems like now is the perfect time before I regain the weight I lost
Great video Carla! I'm a Weight Watchers flunkie-3 times. It works for many, it didn't for me. Last time I did it online but there wasn't all the wonderful resources you're describing with Body Slims. I'm doing IF on my own and having success but everything you're saying really resonates with me. Thank you!
🌹I appreciate each and every video you post, they all help and motivate me. I cannot afford financially to join Body Slims, so I do what I can on my own. I am sure it is an amazing program! I have been bouncing between “good” and pre-obesity for two years now after a 60 pound weight loss. I have recognized what my binge triggers are and I am focusing on eliminating them as self care for myself. I am looking for a second hand treadmill for the winter months so I can continue my daily walks throughout the coldest months. Thank you again for all the inspiration 💖!!!
🌹❤ Looking forward to it!!
🌹thank you for sharing so many insights🌷
🌹 Day 3 for me today. Going to talk to my husband about joining bodyslims in January. For now I’m working on this journey by watching your videos, walking everyday (increasing time everyday), decreasing food intake, making better food choices, drinking so much water, and working on my mental health. I have started at nearly your same stats.
I was on a call with my mom this morning (she is about 30 lbs lighter than me) and she has all this expert advice on weight loss. So when you said you were an expert on weight loss at your heaviest, I laughed out loud. That’s true of both my mom and myself. I’ve caught myself giving advice to my mother-in-law who is about double my size. But as I said before, you have shown me that beacon of hope and I’m walking toward it!
🌹thanks for sharing your journey, you have inspired me to seek to add addressing my mental health to my weight loss plan. I attend a weight loss clinic, and when I have brought up my concerns that my mental health needs help, it was waved off and I was told just to focus on counting calories and workout more regularly. This threw me into a bit of a tailspin of feeling helpless, but you have encouraged me that there is hope to heal the whole me, not just to simply make my body smaller until the old patterns attack again.
🌹💐 thank you so much for sharing your insight
Thanks Carla 🖤🖤🖤
This was so good!! I’ve done BodySlims before and love it, but this video was still so helpful. Great information and looking forward to Sept. 20! Thank you 🌹
Me too. How's it going for you? So far so good here.
I start my first cycle next week because of you. I’m looking forward to achieving some loss and get my health back. ❤ thank you for sharing
Me too! How's it going so far? I'm doing ok.
🌹thanks for the informative video. I'm looking forward to getting back to bodyslims on 20 September
I'm so glad you made this video! Keep up the amazing work Carla.
I appreciate your insights and all of your videos as we are similar in age and have busy family lives! Its nice to see wellness creators that are not 20... Their advice doesn't work for a 38 year old with kids. Haha.
Hahaha thank you so much. I know it’s much easier to have an aesthetic house and meditate for 2 hours when you don’t have a full time job, a mortgage, kids, sick parents etc xx
🌹Great video, Carla. I'm feeling all fired up to start September 20th! 🔥
Fantastic video, you are amazing!
Thank you so much Heather xx
🌹 I'm a WW person, not Body Slims but i still feel like this was so helpful!!
Weight loss and wanting to change my body has been on my mind everyday since I was 13 (I didn't even get fat till my late twenties after having kids😞).... I'm so ready to be free of those constant lingering thoughts about needing to lose weight and being unsuccessful. I'm just confused on what happens during the maintenance phase. From what I understand, you have to continue eating in a deficit to maintain your new weight. If you go back to eating like before surely you would gain the weight back?
Very informative 👍
🌹I just signed up for BodySlims, Carla! Thank you for the very informative video. I’m in it to win it!
🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
🖤🖤🖤
I just signed up too!
@@amandah3619 awesome! We’ve got this! So looking forward to this journey ♥️
Thank you!!!
This video was really helpful! I am in Canada so body slims isn't something I'll be doing. but I really needed the reminders of how the weight loss calorie deficit portion is temporary and that cravings are just a feeling they don't control me. I had been doing SO well since February but this last month I've really fallen off and been giving in to sugar cravings. This video really helped get my mind back in gear and was the positive boost I needed. Thank you 🖤💜🖤
I’m in Canada and did BS online - it really works! The online program is for anyone anywhere. My second round is starting in 2 weeks 😊
@@nyvash4237 I did cross my mind that being online now I may be able to do it. Thanks for letting me know! I may have to give it a try. Glad it's working well for you :)
There’s hundreds of people doing it in Canada, my cousin is signed up for the next round and she’s in Toronto xx
This is only my second week but on Saturday we went out for a meal, BBQ Ribs, within my calories. And I should have been so happy but honestly I wasn't satisfied. Found my tastes have changed quite quickly and big plate of well seasoned veggies and maybe chicken or tofu feels much more satisfying than a tiny place of bbq food now! :) I am 3.8Lbs down from last week and I was aiming for 2.9! So happy! and it's given me an extra boost to keep going, I have evn started to enjoy the me-time I get on my walks (even if I feel like I spend most of the time thinking about cleaning and household chores! hehe!), I feel like this is the one. It is gonna stick! Consitency is key
🌹🏵
Got my first stone off last week! 🎉❤️
Thanks for all the info, especially the “what a week looks like” part. Impactful and meaningful content as always ❤ 🌹
Thank you, especially as someone just commented that I talk and talk and talk and say nothing 🤣🤣🤣
Thanks🌺
Carla, I’ve been binge watching you all day today. I noticed during the meal prep videos I didn’t see any legumes. Do you find those an issue? I’m about to sign up for BS but I am a legumes girl so I’d need to wrap my head around not having them? Truly congratulations! I’ll be 60 this year & it’s been a life long struggle for me
I did have some but not tonnes. But once it’s within you Bs calories you’re all good. This has to work for you cx
Thanks so much Carla ❤❤❤ could you do a video on the Fitness Pal please? I'm a bit of a ludite amd can't figure out hiw to manually enter portion amd calories or perhaps community might help? 😊 thanks😊 also I'm joined up for Sept. 20th. Can't wait at this stage. And it's all because of YOU 🎉❤
Thank you so much Vivienne, I think there’s so many videos already available which could help. I’ll leave this example here which might work ruclips.net/video/gziCB2AGTSE/видео.htmlsi=NDs6izEFqVc687YL 🖤🖤🖤
Thanks so much. I'll take a Look 😊
Im signed up for September. Walking an hour a day is normal for me (4dogs), usually more than an hour. Im curious to see if that means that as there is no novelty, i will get the benefit of that component of the programme
Thanks, Carla! 🖤 Is there someone joining on the 20th and speaking German as well? 🌹
Yes my friend Jeanette is German and she’s going it, her instagram handle is fasting bay instagram.com/fasting.bat?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==
🌹🥀💐 thank you
I am scheduled to start in April 2024 - my only question is will the information be available to me after the 10 weeks?
Thanks
Thank you so much Vivienne 🖤🖤🖤
Did you ever struggle with the mentality that you’re not meant to be thin? All my family are overweight and I’ve been overweight since I was 6-7. I’m now in my mid 30s and have tried so many times without success. I don’t know how to believe it’s possible anymore 😢. Also curious if you have more weight to lose once the 10w is over, are you advised to stay at maintenance until the next cycle or continue until with calorie deficit?
When you join body slims do they teach you how to count calories? I feel like learning how to count would be the hardest part for me
I never heard about Body Slims before. Thanks for bringing that to my attention. Sounds amazing! 😊❤
But man, more than 100 Euro per month for the program is way more than I can afford. 🙈
I understand, but just to clarify it's not forever, it's in cycles of 10 weeks, so while it's €25 per week for those 10 weeks, you can choose to do another cycle or not x
❤
I was kicked out of my last cult so was wondering can I join this one....what's the IBAN so I can start paying.
Carla, I am a visual person and listening to seminars sounds daunting, how long are the seminars and is there a way we can do it in bite sizes, I lose focus listening easily and I am apprehensive as you are putting so much emphasis on them. Secondly, I am an asian and my meals are mostly asian, I am worried about the weighing and calorie counting for asian ingredients. Am I looking for an excuse to get out or are these valid worries
These sound like challenges but not obstacles. The first seminar is in 2 parts so that should help. Remember liking is optional, sometimes we have to do the things to get us to where we want to be. And while I’m not Asian, I use a lot of asian foods and I was able to weigh and measure everything to count the calories. Xx
Would it work for someone post menopausal. I really struggle to lose any weight since going through it
I don't fully understand how weight loss is different from weight maintenance. Generally, isn't our goal weight based on the caloric intake we should be consuming per day?
I have a question!! What time are the seminars? I'm here in the US and we are 5 hours behind you and I work Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday nights, 7pm to 7:30am.
They’re prerecorded you have access to them for 3 days
🌹
🌹 😊
I love your videos and I love BodySlims, however, why do ppl keep saying that the calorie limit is “finite”? It’s not. You are told that the calorie limit is just for the weight loss period - but it’s ongoing. You are told that for maintenance that you can indulge a LITTLE in the weekends but then stick to your caloric allowance for the week or you will gain weight back.
So for those asking - yes. Your caloric limit given to you by BS will be your ongoing “target” forever - unless you want to gain weight back. You will always have to watch what you eat and maintain your new way of eating or you will gain weight back.
Not so, the maintenance calories are higher. That amount is unique to you,
@@deniseb4148 I agree the amount is unique to you depending on how you maintain the weight, but if you increase your calories on a consistent basis from what you have been doing, you will gain some weight back. Unless you increase your daily exercise or eat less on other days to balance out the days you do increase. There has to be balance is what I’m trying to say 😊
@nyvash4237, That's right, induging a bit on the weekends and doing the calorie deficit during the week was one option given. That would make it feel like the calorie deficit or target is forever, but I think it's important to remember the other option as well. The other option is to increase your calories until you find the amount where you maintain and don't lose or gain, and do that every day. In that case you will never be in a deficit ever again. The choice is yours. Splurge on weekends and diet or maintain daily. It seems to me that Carla does a bit of a mix. She doesn't count calories unless she gets out of her target weight range and then she cuts back until she is back in line. That sounds incredibly sane and doable to me. As you said, if you go back to eating the way you did before, you will gain the weight back.
Everything you said here is accurate and is my reality. My perosnal given calories from BodySlims are considerably lower than my day to day now in maintenance. X
You are 💯 percent correct !!!!
❣️❣️❣️

How long did it take for your plantar fasciitis to heal? I also have it, and walking an hour seems to make it worse.
It’s all about the stretching and make sure you see a podiatrist xx
Hi Carla! How about someone like me with an arthritic knee who couldn't walk an hour every day? Is Body Slims out for us all?
Losing weight is 80% what you eat and only 20% calories exercise. If you can do no exercise you can still have an amazing result 🖤🖤🖤
@@HalfofCarla That's good to know! I'm 67 and doing IF. I "house walk" and ride a recumbent bike when I can but too much and my knee swells. I can definitely put the fork down! Thank you for this! XO
I've got a lot of joint issues as well and am planning to swim on days when I can't walk. I believe Gerard does that also, as he has a bad knee. They talk about it on the video they did together. =) @@mollys1584
