I'm so excited to share my story with you and these updates. If you have any questions, comment below and I'll be answering them :) Love you girls!
How long did it take you to lose 45 pounds? I'm in a similar position, at my heaviest at 168 lbs and I need to just kick myself in the pants and get started. Thanks for the video.
Love Sweat Fitness love your house!
Watch the video to find out 😘
Love Sweat Fitness I watched, but you started talking about how long it took you, then you started talking about how you met your hubby 😂 So how long did it take you to lose the 45lbs?
omg hahahah you're right. It took me 6 months
I started at 220 a year ago im at 142 now!
GET IT GIRL!
AMAZING 😍😍
HOW!!!!!!!
What?! That’s awesome
I know you are so proud.
I started at 172 now I’m down to 154!!
Edit: now 138!!! :)
So amazing!
Regan McKenzie awesome. How did u do it??
That's so good!! Keep going, you're doing great!!
Regan McKenzie that’s amazing!!!! You are my hero. I just started at 170lbs a couple of weeks ago and today I’m 166lbs. We can do this. We rock !!!!
You go girl!!! Keep up the amazing work!!
When I looked in the mirror, I never once said, "I love the fat, I accept the fat." Instead, I loved the person UNDER the fat. The fat wasn't me. The real me was the person trapped inside there. Because I loved that person, me, I did what I had to do to free myself. I didn't change my body because I hated myself, I changed my body because I loved myself.
Yes!
Johnny Fever Beautifully expressed!!
AAaw
Amen to that, I feel like I am in prison. I am changing it all.
Excellent
"Becoming thinner isn't like Amazon Prime. It isn't going to show up in 2 days!". I have to remind myself of this constantly 😃
Yes! It's not just an overnight magical phenomenon, its a journey which is even better!!
I think taking her advice and staying away from the scale will help a lot. I used to weigh myself everyday and even though I looked better and my clothes fit better my scale was not telling me positive things, I was gaining weight!!! I decided after watching her video to stop weighing myself.
People say "it will took so much time to achieve my dream...". Guess what time will pass anyway so just do it.
Wow really great advice that gave me a new perspective!!!
Wow great, i think that quote is by earl nightingale
Great way to look at it.
Excellent and valuable perspective.
That mindset was life changing for me!
I’ve gained 30 pounds in the past year... watching this for inspiration to lose it and get back to my healthy weight
You can make it happen!
You got this sistah 🤗☀️
@@Sherbetlemons I'm in a similar place Sage. Grains, sugars and cow's dairy are all the things I crave but they're slowly loading my body like quicksand. I know I have the start into this challenge. There's no way round this but through it. God help me! G Ire
Me too
Me too
Sooo sucks And she’s really helping to motivate me
I started 150 now: 119!
What did you do?
How long did it take
Nurse Nazo how long did it take?
Dang. 119 factorial? So you must weigh 5.6 * 10^196 lbs.
This is my goal 150 now
Started at: 205
Now: 173
Goal:140
See you soon!!
That's amazing!! You got this, girl :)
keep up that motivation girl, so proud of you :)
👏👏👏
What are you now ???!!!!!
Same here. I am 186 pounds. My goal is 140-145lbs. I am healing from breast cancer. Hoping to get the weight down. I was 143 last year before my diagnosis. We can do this inspite of the challenges.🙌🏾
Many people have unrealistic expectations about weight loss. They look the before and after pics of people and only see that between the two there was x years but they still expect to just one day wake up skinny. It doesn't work like that. Some days you will feel like shit and want to eat cake all day, other days you feel lean and thin, some days you are heavier and some days you are lighter. Weight loss is not a linear progress, that's why it takes sometimes years. And the hardest part I think is getting used to your new self. That you can move faster sleep better, be happier, wear smaller clothes, change your perception about yourself
Tímea Tarjányi thank you I needed that
true
Omg soooo true
My partner and i took the advice of a buddy and looked up *4FatLossFast. Com* on Google. It’s the best weight loss program I’ve actually seen and gives immediate results to users. I have personally already decreased 14 lbs in less than the first week.?
Love this. It’s taken me two years to lose 50 pounds and I still need to lose more, but Ian feeling much better and slowly getting to a spot where I feel good.
I started in July 2019 at 197lbs, 5’6”. Currently 143lbs and still in progress! It’s a long journey, but I feel so much better and it’s RUclipsrs like you that help me stay motivated. So thank you!
Girl, you are crushing it! Keep me updated on your progress xo
That’s my goal, I’m also 5’6” and I was 174lbs when I started about 38 days ago, I’m now 160lbs and going to the 143lbs mark
How did u do it sis.
I've been tracking what I eat for 7 years, yet it never occurred to me to also log how what I eat makes me FEEL! That is a brilliant idea.
I have been watching so many videos about weight loss this past week. You sound so genuine in your advice. The, “smile when you take that before photo” really made me shed a tear because I cut my face out of all of them. I’m going to take a new one tomorrow, smiling. I know I’ll appreciate it in the end. Thanks for this video 🥺
I think this is my “moment.”
This really hit home for me
YES! Love it 😍💪🏻

Me too. Just back from the gym and wondering if my dreams are possible! This helped so much! X
Me too!
We need an update!
I can relate to this video so much! I’m currently in the process of still reaching my physical goals. November 2017, I was the heaviest I have ever been. I was so insecure about my body, and hid behind coats and clothing. I was stuck in a vicious cycle, of hating my body and working out because I hated it. And this never gave me any kind of results. I would get discouraged and end up eating my feelings. But the moment I accepted my body the way it was, just like you had mentioned, my relationship with my body and the gym completely turned around. This summer I’ve made the biggest progress that I have in years. I’m down 20 lbs and am putting on lean muscle!! I’m mentally and physically in such a better place, and I can not wait to see where my fitness journey takes me! Thanks for sharing your story, because it’s so comforting to know we are not alone!
This made me cry. I so needed this. I’ve been low about my body lately and feeling discouraged. I need a community and your story is inspiring. Thank you so much and I’m ready to start my journey with you.
SO happy for you!!
I started at 162 in March and now 142. Yahoo. Feels good. 5ft2in.
Hi heather paar, did you workout? If so, what did you do and how often? Thanks
Best height ever 😉
So inspiring! I am on my journey to lose weight and this year decided to really take things slowly and not get discouraged if I mess up that my “day” or my “week” of weight loss is ruined. I love how you started losing weight by just listening to your body and am going to start to do the same thing.
Today was the day that I needed the extra support and this was it! Going through losing some of the relationships with friends while I'm making positive changes and needed to hear the other side of things, thank you!
This was exactly what I needed to hear!! I had my third child 6 months ago and I’ve been stuck at this weight. It’s the heaviest I’ve ever been and I’ve been so focused on the scale and giving up on myself so quickly that I never even thought to focus on doing it to feel good! You’ve inspired me to keep pushing bc honestly today I was avoiding my workout!!
I’m in the middle of the process of loving my body and feeling healthy from the inside out, and your videos really hit home with me and it keeps me inspired that my life WILL change and my mentality WILL be better. So thank you:)
“Make sure you have the right WHY”.....
That was huge for me...
Thanks so much!
Of course! So glad it resonated with you so much!
Girl, thank you so much for your testimony. I can relate to so much of your story, and I'm so glad to hear that I'm not alone. I am definitely inspired!!
Your before body I feel like is the closest to my own! I’m excited to dive into your channel and see what helped you because a lot of the advice I see is from other people who aren’t built like me so it’s always hard to see if the results would be possible for me. Thanks for sharing ❤️
working out isn’t the challenge for me, it’s consistently eating healthy. I don’t cook/buy my own food so that’s one obstacle and also no matter how healthy I eat I always feel like I’m starving. Whenever I don’t see results I give up. It’s so hard lol
Tarim O Try eating more healthy fats, they help you to stay full longer. Avocados, olive oil, coconut oil, real butter not fake butter. Nuts and seeds
Elemental Enigma thank u!!!
Hey, I'm in the same boat as you. Seriously. I recommend starting a healthier diet of canned low sodium or healthy rice & chicken broth canned soups and choose a salad when you can. Also, be aware of portion control. I actually have started cooking some of my own creations but, I am always tempted to eat fast food. It is hard, but you can do it!!!
@Rodolfo Rogers I lost over 5 pounds in the last 7 days. Here how I did it: HootFat. com
Allison Stoetzel thank you too much for the advice
I have been struggling on and off my whole life with restriction and binging, and this video has just opened my eyes so much. I can’t thank you enough for making this video. 💜💜💜
I'm so glad to hear that babe!
You’re aware, open-minded, inspiring and beautiful! Thank you so much for this video and for being so true. U just inspired me and hopefully one day I’ll inspire others too❤️ Wish u all the best🌞
I am currently on a weight loss journey to lose a total of 50lbs. I'm currently 10lbs down but its so tough to continue losing. Thank you for posting this video - its really inspiring!
Out of all of the "weight loss story" videos I have watched (and that's a lot) I have to say that this has been the MOST genuine & inspiring! & to hear you say that it is possible for me too, actually makes me want to cry! Thank you❤️😌
"Make sure you have the right WHY!"
I agree!! I lost 60lbs and it’s so important to do it the healthy way!
+2
Tui Hawke agreed
Tui Hawke glad I’m not the only one ❤️ wanted to leave a comment for her, but wasn’t sure how to put it into words. This definitely captures my thoughts 😊
Agreed
Thanks so much girl! I am doing the summer shape up with you right now and it is game changing!! You have no idea how much I appreciate the community you have created! :)
You are so right in saying that a positive “WHY” is the most important factor!
Appreciate your transparency in your story. I think we all can relate to certain aspects. I'm so glad to see someone with healthy advice and perspectives teaching young women about getting healthy and losing weight.
Thank you for watching! I always keep it real with this community :)
Is it just me or you guys got teary eyed too listening to her? Her struggle is totally mine too. Now I have to really sit down and find my “WHY”. Thanks Katie!
❤️
I cried a lot actually. It really got to me.
This made me tear up because I felt like you were speaking my words. This is something I have been REALLY struggling with yesterday and recently. I really needed this. Thank you for helping me 💕
I've lost 21 pounds since last October and I was at my heaviest as well. I admire you telling us your story and your feelings becuz alot of it matches my own. I'm not yet at my healthy weight goal but I'm so much closer. Thank you for this.
I’m so happy to have found you! Being Type 1 Diabetic and having Hypothyroidism has been tough. After 3 weeks of implementing some of your dietary suggestions it’s had a HUGE difference on my energy levels, and today I did my first workout in the app. LOVED IT!!! Thank you for sharing your amazing gifts and positivity! ✨
This is SO motivating!! I am currently working hard on my own fitness journey and literally cannot WAIT to film my own weightloss/health journey! xx
Sophie Jayne Your videos seem really cool, already subscribed!
Samee
Sophie Jayne i started at 178 around july and now it’s december and i’m around 155. i haven’t been super consistent but i’ve slowly but surely been losing. this video has motivated me to get back into it
Same here
Of all the "story time" videos I've listened to and watched on YT this is by far my favorite. Thank you for your honesty- I related to different points. I dont have a habit of stepping on the scale, but when I want to "get fit" i do and like you said - I fail, because my why isn't strong enough. I just picked up journaling again, how I'm feeling what im going through to see patterns and how it makes me feel. Again, thank you. New sub!
I love how positive you are and how much you love yourself. I also love how you put yourself out there. It shows everyone that they are not alone because I know at many times along our own journeys we feel that way. Thank you for your videos!
Of all the many weight loss journey videos and health videos that I've watched this has probably been the most realistic and relatable ones that I've come across. I been having a lot of self hate lately that probably effects others around me, so I started trying to change habits without knowing what I was doing. I'm still only a little over a week in and clueless but I'm going to try and keep it up this time :) Your story was very inspiring!
This is so motivating for me! Every 'how I lost weight' video I've seen seems to involve either the gym, or working out outside. I couldn't find anyone who lost weight just from working out in their room, which is what I'm trying to do. Thank you for sharing your story and making your workout videos!
Mandy L I've found one recently. Her name is Margot ... she is in the beginning of her 20'ees
You lose weight mostly in the kitchen, but you can definately get fit in your room! :)
,,.
I hope you realize what a huge service your message will give to young girls. Weight is such a hard thing and focusing on the mental side will be so good vs just the lbs. Great channel!!! Excited to watch more videos!
this is the first video i’ve actually watched without feeling crap that i’ll never get there. you’ve really made me feel like i can!
Started 178 last May, currently 138! Feel much better but have some muscle to build!
Yay! Keep it up Jess! :)
Jess, do you still check this? If so, do you mind sharing your story of how you reached your goal? Our weight is similiar and my goal is similar. I'm at 170 and want to be 138.
Did you just do cardio?
I’m trying to loose a similar amount to you!
I'm young. I'm going into highschool this year, but I've been feeling excruciatingly insecure all summer. All of my friends are losing middle school baby weight, getting racks, and just looking amazing, and it's just normal to them. I've been obese all my life, and now I wanna change that. I've started dieting, but apart of me is still just begging and hoping that I'll just wake up skinny, but I know that's now how it works. I've started doing simple easy workouts that I can handle, watching what I eat, making healthier decisions, and, a month later I've lost about fifteen pounds and I can definitely see a difference. My hard work is definitely showing, and I'm feeling much more confident. I'm ready for highschool and I'm ready to continue becoming healthier.
dumbledore's eyelash OMG GREAT JOB!!!! YOU GOT THIS OKAY???!!!!! IM GOING INTO SOPHOMORE YEAR AND IM WANTING TO LOSE 30 LBS AND I ALSO FO WORKIUTS AND PUSH MYSELF AND EAT LESS AND HEALTHIER!! I BELIEVE IN YOU!! OVERLAL SO FAR, I'VE LOST 15 LBS TOO!😁😁😁😁😁😁 GOOD LUCK
Help me
Hey babe! Don’t let others around you make you feel any different about your body. Everyone is different and with your focus on being healthy, you will start to see the changes you want! Focus on being healthy and happy vs skinny and you’ll be amazed at what can happen. Do the LSF workouts with us and let your team here keep you motivated 😘
Marco Borges plant based book really helped maintain my weight loss. I did the fast track and included intermittent fasting.
Cut down on carbs, and get active, eat veggies etc you don’t have to work out hard core in the beginning just movement... walks etc will def. help I was very chubby in my middle school high school days and have struggled every since losing huge amounts and then giving up and gaining it back. But now I have kept this going for a bit so I’m hopeful... You can do it 😊
Amazing job! Honestly, I completely understand the change in your friendship dynamics you experienced during the processes. You've done amazing! 💪🏼❤
Thank you so much for being so real about the process. I know changing my way of thinking is what's going to change my life. But most motivational speakers don't go into detail on how their way of thinking changed. I love how that was the focus!thank you for the great advice!
This is the best mindset to achieve anything.
I honestly love the way your motivations are for your health rather than the weight!
You are my story, except I'm much heavier, black and 50...lol Thank you so much for sharing! It's 4:37 am and I'm feeling horrible because of what I ate earlier. I almost didn't watch this video because to me 45 lbs is nowhere in the range of what I have to lose and I felt like there's no way she could understand and then you opened your mouth and oh my goodness she understands! Thank you, thank you, thank you for making this video! Please make a video on the inner work you talked about. I have no idea where to start, but I know I need to start somewhere and I know enough to know that if I don't work on my inner self the change won't happen, because the physical pain I'm feeling has not been enough to stop me from eating unhealthy. I've got to change my mindset, I'm just now sure how and hoping your inner work can set me on my own path to being successful. Thank you in advance...Peace and Blessings!
Hi Pam! I'm so so happy you found LSF and this video. I totally feel you, the inner work is really the key to all of it. I actually did a series of Motivation Challenge videos on my channel a few months ago, there is a playlist of all of them...check that out! I talk all about getting through the inner struggles. You've got this!
Love Sweat Fitness great, going to watch now... thank you for responding
Pam Meets World We are all here for you! You can do it ! Small changes at a time and you will see the difference! You can do it girl ! I believe you ! ❤️🙌
Pam Meets World my sister, you are beautiful, you are worthy and you can do anything you put your mind to. Don’t judge or be hard on yourself, be as kind and patient as you would be with family or a friend, one day at a time. I recently started incorporating yoga into my life to find more inner peace and it has added only positivity to my life. My favorite yoga channel on YT is Journey Junkie, check it out or other yoga channels on here. All the best to you 🙃🙏💕
I love your reply! This is my first time hearing this youtube's perspective. It's inspiring for me; I need to lose a lot of weight too. I love her idea about focusing on the idea of an individual feeling really good, not necessarily checking the weight obsessively. :)
You're such an inspiration. Love your videos, here are some tips I learnt from you:
1. Eat a lot of soluble fiber
2. Avoid food that contain trans fat
3. Cut down on booze
4. Eat a lot of protien
5. Try your best to reduce stress
6. don't eat a lot of sugar.....
And more that you may know🙃
awww i love it!!
Drink a lot of water
Thank you for the nice recap!
@@asanelekoyana I’ve been drinking a lot of water and I constantly go to the bathroom 🚽
I needed to see this today. I lost 15 pounds in about 1.5 months (healthier choices and gym 5-7 days/week), but now I'm at a standstill and have been for about 2 weeks. it's definitely frustrating, but your spirit gives me hope that I can lose more.
“Changing your why” I haven’t ever heard it put into these words before & it really resonated with me!!
Love it!
I'm 5 mins in and I'm crying, you're explaining exactly how I feel
Saaamee
I have watched so many weight loss videos and this one by far has to be my favorite. You talk about every aspect of weight loss, especially being in a good place mentally. Everything about your content is truly relatable, real and inspirational THANK YOU!!💕
Hi Landa! Thank you so much, so sweet of you to share. I'm so happy you are enjoying my videos. xo
Thank you for sharing your story! Your videos are so encouraging and I loved what you said about finding the “why” behind your fitness journey!
Thank you so much for this video Katie. You truly are so inspiring & sweet. I have a lot of self esteem issues but watching you & this video makes me want to believe in myself & that I can do it. That I can lose weight, I can shape up & become toned and I can learn to eat healthy & love it. Thank you for sharing & for encouraging us so much. Love you. 😍
I'm SO happy I came across your channel. I'm in such a similar situation, and this is so helpful and delivered in such a nice way.
Self-acceptance is the first step to making a change. Love who you are and the "WHY" naturally falls into place. Thx for sharing your story, very real and truly motivating!!
Yes, couldn't have said it any better!
I super appreciate that you talk about weight loss for health not for keeping up with model sizes... That you shared a deeper story is so encouraging. Thank you for your vulnerability.
You're so welcome! Always keeping it real with you guys!
I started my weight loss journey around April of this year at 182 and now I’m down to 163. I’ve notice what helps me is counting my calories and macros as well as working out 4-5 times a week (barre, spin, boot camps, and LSF workout videos). ❤️💕
I am a dietitian and I appreciate what you are sharing. Speaking about myself, I have a toddler so an hour's workout is not really happening for me like it used to. So I introduced 15-20min workouts to my daily schedule, my husband was laughing at the duration, tonight he said I really am fitter. It's the consistency you are explaining at 13:15. Small changes happening daily can make a big difference.
Totally agree. Consistency matters, even if it's just 15-20 minutes. I usually work out for at least an hour. But today it was only 25 min and I'm good with that!!!
Ever since I wrote the above comment, I started joining 5k runs and group hikes more or less every weekend, while my little one is with daddy. Last time I had done a 5k was before pregnancy, that is 4+ years ago, but it turns out I am now in a better physical condition due to consistency: Every single day I have been keeping up with the baby / now running after the toddler, every single day I have been doing little workouts. 5k took me 35min.
Hey, small children make great weights! I watch cartoons with my little brother and I'll just hold him up to build up my arms.

20 mins here too, and after a year-big changes!!!
Thank you for sharing. Thank you for clarifying that we can’t focus on the superficial, but that we must start by loving our bodies where we are at. I just started my fitness journey and your story inspired me greatly and gave me hope. It was not overwhelming like other weight loss stories. You rock! 😍
I felt EVERY word you were saying about how being overweight made you feel. I feel the exact SAME way. Im 19 (20 in a few days) im 5’5 & 170-175lbs. Im in the process of feeling more confident & feeling like ME. This helped me SO much. THANK YOU! I will be rewatching this. I subscribed. When it gets hard I’ll remember this video & you. Thank you. Truly.
It took me a few days to finally sit down and give this video my undivided attention. Your story is so amazing so inspirational and as someone else mentioned I did get some tears because I’ve been there! Hating my body, not liking the person I was becoming and always struggling to lose weight the “quick” way. I also have thyroid issues and this is how I found LSF. Looking up hypothyroidism and there you were Katie! 😊 I’m so thankful to have found this community and learning how to do this the healthy way.
So happy you are part of the LSF team and we can all do this together with you!
When I was 12, I was obese at 185 pounds. I got sick, and couldn't eat. I soon started starving myself, and I had lost 40 pounds. I was very unhappy, and I still felt huge even though I was a few pounds overweight. I eventually gained back most of the weight. I'm 16 now, and I weigh 171 pounds. I've lost 5 pounds within two days by working out, and eating healthy, which isn't much, but it makes me happy to know I can do this. Videos like these motivate me to not starve myself, and to lose weight in a healthy matter. So, I'd like to thank you for that, and I wish you the best.
Keep on keeping on, you're doing so well ♡
I started this summer with 185 pounds of weight, due to a growth spurt and then me cleaning up my diet, I am down to 169. My goal is 150 by Christmas. So you are not alone! Also, look up pictures of what 5 pounds of fat looks like, it's a huge difference.
Geezee Gamez congrats on the weight loss. I'm down to 167 now, but I'm struggling with restricting again. I've been trying to eat 1,000-1,200 calories and I use my elliptical for at least 40 mins a few times a week. However, I feel extremely hungry and I binge at least one to two times a week. It does help with the cravings, but it's an awful cycle. My goal is to be down to 120. Anyways, good luck with your weight loss.
Jennifer Cano thank you so much.
Same here! My goal is 120 by summer, but my partway goal is 150 by Christmas. I use a HIIT training so I only exercise about 15 minutes daily, and I do 100 jumping jacks right before going to bed. Those are just some ideas. I do still eat some junk food, just maybe only one cookie instead of three or 3 chips instead of a whole bowl full. If I order a drink at a coffee shop, I order a small and get half sweet or something like that. No cold turkey. Also, if you go from cold turkey to some fat in your diet (fat is still needed in your diet to be healthy) you will feel sick. So that is my advice, and good luck to you too!
THANK YOU FOR SAYING THAT IT'S IMPORTANT TO ACCEPT AND LOVE YOUR BODY RIGHT NOW AS IT IS - EVEN IF IT NEVER CHANGES. Loving ourselves as we are is so important. Tbh probably more important than any weightloss
I’ve just started watching your videos and I loved them! I am happy to be part of this community helping me to achieve my personal goals for becoming a better version of myself! 🙏🏻😘
Love this! Keep it up :)
The past year and half so many have gained weight from being stuck at home. Thank you for telling your story. You are an inspiration of hope.
Totally can understand that. Stay strong and keep your head up Beth!
I like how you focused on fitness goals beyond the scale
Love this! Small wins is exactly how I am working in my journey as well! Thanks for sharing. These videos keep me motivated!
GREAT video! You're lucky that you discovered this right after University, and young. I'll be 52 next month, and I'm still trying to figure it out, after about four decades of binging, then crazily dieting (including Jenny Craig, and being a Jenny Craig consultant for those two years!), then overeating processed crap, and thinking I'd be caught in the spiral forever. I, too, topped out at 168 at University. During my twenties and thirties, I levelled out at 140. In my forties, 140 became 150. Now, I'm postmenopausal, and started seeing a dietitian just over a month ago, starting at about 153. It's super-slow progress (I sit now at about 147), but there IS a win, aside from the weight loss: For the first time in my life, I now feel I can have a "cheat meal", and get right back on the horse with the next meal! I had lived my black-and-white, restrictive thinking for years.I feel that there's light at the end of the tunnel now, and that I'm making sustainable, good-health decisions, daily, just like you are. Good for you, girl!
This message is “right on time” for me. thanks for posting.
I love this! My heaviest was 309 and within 6 months I lost 50 pounds and got down to 259 from eating healthy and working out. I gained about 30 back though and I’m trying to get back on it because I wanna be healthy!
I’m at 308 lbs right now too! 😞 I have hypothyroidism and it’s been a battle trying to control it and get it to normal. Last year at this time I was at 262 (which was my normal adult weight) and I’ve gained all this weight. I’m on a mission to get healthy, start moving and move forward. Good luck! We can do this!
Good job you can do it again!
This was more than inspiring. This is what I needed to hear at this moment in time. Brought me to tears. Thank you💕
Wow this is outstanding. You're inspiring and motivating so many. Good for you!!! I also went through a major weight loss transformation and lost 120 lbs in 1 year. Great work.
Hey Katie just wanted to let you know just Incase no no one else has said it lately. You are freaking Awesome ✨❤️
Best weight-loss advice ever. Super encouraging and doable. Thanks girl!
Thank you sooooo much for making this video. You have no idea how much it helps and how many people you are helping!
i’m 5’1” and i started at 150 (my heaviest after quitting high school sports the pounds piled on) and now i’m at 135 with about 5-10 more pounds do go. you’ve been so inspirational for me through this, so thank you. love from the stair master that’s killing me so i’m distracting myself with youtube videos!!
so happy for you!!
Hey I’m the same height and weight as you, help!!! How did you lose those pounds. Plus Kudos to you!! 🙌🏼♥️
AbiraShah xo honestly, patience. i have a very unhealthy relationship with food and trial and error of how many calories and what my macros of each should be was how i did it. once the relationship with food is healthy and the caloric deficit is where it needs to be, the pounds fall off
@@taylorboyd3067 how many calories did u eat a day? Did u eat carbs and fruits and sugars
@@taylorboyd3067 and how long did it take you?
What a cute house! I love the color of that door, beautiful turquoise!
Thank you! We just painted the door this year, it use to be red...but I like this a lot more
Loved hearing this story- so motivating for all of us on the same journey! :) Total side bar- does anyone else always feel totally awkward and uncomfortable when people say "wow, you look great you've lost weight!" ???
Thsi is so relatable. Especially the Dad part. He was the one to make me think seriously think about what foods I’m putting into my body. He’s my rock.
Can I just say that I just discovered your RUclips videos and watched this and everything, literally EVERYTHING you said resonated with me was very relatable. I’m now in the place where you were at at the beginning of your journey, so I just want to say your message was so important and thank you for sharing!
I'm in high school and I've always been super active but still on the heavier side, strangling with extra weight that my friends didn't have. Every year I tried to lose it before summer because all my friends loved to take bikini pictures to post of social media when we we went to the beach. I was always a semi healthy eater but I struggled a lot with overeating and not knowing when to stop. Although I still struggle with this now I have recently been trying to look at my habitats day to day and make some changes. Then I came accords this video and you really helped me see that I'm fine just the way I am and that I should just eat to nourish my body. I cant explain how much you have just shifted my mindset in one video. I owe you so much more than you know❤️💕💪🏽
This video, no joke, made me emotional. It has made me feel not so alone on this journey. Thank you for sharing this.
Thank you so much for this video Katie. Seeing you across from me with a comfy cushion in your lap really made me feel like I was seen by a friend. I've been on this journey for so long without admitting it to myself, and without realizing how young it started and how much of it wasn't about the weight at all, and how losing the weight won't magically solve my problems if I don't go about it with the right why (and since I never had the right why I never succeeded). Thank you for being so gentle and kind and candid with your story and for the reminder to not give up on ourselves. I finally feel ready to take this seriously and try one more time because of you❤
This is extremely inspiring! loved every second honestly and hopefully i can change the way i think about weight loss to this beautiful way
Hi Katie! I am in my senior year at high school and since the last year, I have consistently moved on to a healthier lifestyle. I have Polycystic Ovarian Disease (which is, irregular periods that causes pregnancy problems in the future) because of my excessive weight. I weighed 75 kgs at my heaviest. And when I was told by my doctor that my only medicine was losing weight. So at that moment, it seemed like an impossible thing to do because I'm like attracted to anything sugary. I love eating sweets and chocolates and all kinds of desserts and still do. I used to binge eat a lot, putting unhealthy stuff in my body, and then feeling guilty and crappy. I always used the excuse of having too much pressure of studies to take time out of my routine to work out. But then I took some time to realise that unless I'm healthy, there's no point in working so hard for the grades to go up because I won't be happy. I took some time to love my body, to realise that I am beautiful and sexy with an awesome personality,and that's what mattered the most. This was when I started to work out, jumping rope initially, starting with 500 jumps, then started doing target exercises. I remember, I was searching through youtube for how to lose back fat when I came across your channel and that's how I was introduced to LSF and this wonderful community. You played a big part in my transformation towards a healthy form of myself. And after a month or so, I started to feel good after every workout, concentrate better on my studies, my grades went up. After 8 months, here I am, at 63 kgs and feel amazing about my body. I hope to lose about 4 kgs more to get to a healthy weight, and my Polycystic Ovarian Disease has been going away slowly, as now I have regular periods. So, all I want to say is, Thank you Katie. You played a major inspiration for me to feel better about myself, to love myself. And I owe so much to you.
Tiasha Gupta well spoken. Congratulations. Much success. You got this girl!!
I'm on my fitness journey and I really needed this today at this moment Thank you so much 🤗💞BTW I love your work out videos 😘
Your transformation is CRAZY and I love it so much!! You did so great and I absolutely love your personality. This video is so motivational (I totally needed that right now, because I'm on my own journey and currently struggeling a bit.) Can't wait to be able to upload a video of my final transformation photo.
Awesome story, I really enjoy seeing reflection stories like these because it not only motivates me but I also share these videos with my friends and loved ones to maybe motiva the them to lead a healthy lifestyle 😊👍
I was up to 160lb and I cried at one point with the same height. I got down to 128lb then quit and creeped back to 145lb over 2 years. I love the advice you gave with small goals and focusing on making yourself feel better. Thank you for your advice.💕
love this! I remember deciding I didn't look how I looked or felt, so I decided to just become more conscious of what I was eating, and move a little bit each day. I didn't weigh myself, I just would look In the mirror and know I felt better about myself. It's more fun, and positive to not set a huge goal, but rather set a new lifestyle.
Sooo much respect for you!! When you talked about your dad and how you realized when you needed to change it humanized you so much more and made me realize that REAL PEOPLE make these changes.. so I can too... THANK YOU
Thank you for sharing all of this, what you describe is exactly how I feel right now and the past year. I've decided to shift my focus away from weightloss and just simply make my body stronger and aim to feel better as I move it more. For me it's so therapeutic to exercise and feel how strong u become each and every day. There are low days as well, but I love myself because of how quick I can bounce back on track the next days. Really love everything that you do for this community and I wish you all the best.
Thank you for sharing, girl! Keep up the awesome work :)
Your really just amazing. Like your mind set is how I wish everyone thought! Keep making videos!
I’ve been struggling with my weight for so long. I always dress down at work or hardly hangout w friends because of that.
You just inspired me to take my first step! Thank you!
Amazing to hear that you're gonna make a change! The journey is tough, but so so worth it! Plus all of LSF will be here to cheer you on!
Thank you so much for making this video. I’m only a few minutes in but already this has resonated so much with me and my past. So many people are very adamant about completely changing things right away, or working out so much that they are constantly in pain. Mental state and mind set are the most important things. It was the moment I realized this, that my own body image started changing. Little adjustments, and the idea that you are working to be the best person you can. 😊
I was feeling really frustrated today after binging, but you gave me the strength to get back up and start anew! Thanks you so much! This was more than a weight loss video, it was like a big hug 💕
This made me so happy to hear!
