Would love to see a “What I eat in a day” video!
Yes please!!
Me too!
Yes good idea
logged on to request this. thanks!
Yes!
This is by far my favorite video of this type. You wanted to shed a few pounds because you wanted to feel better, and then you took it slow and steady eating well and exercising. I love it when the focus is on feeling healthy versus trying to look different and/or appearance.
I've lost 20lbs during the pandemic :-) I started to walk 3 miles a day and cooking at home everyday vs having lunch out and it made a huge difference
This is the most positive and well-rounded attitude towards health and fitness that I've seen. Thank you for sharing and giving me inspiration and motivation 😊
Ahh so happy you found it helpful! Thank you so much for watching! :)
I never even noticed any weight gain on you . It must have been very evenly distributed . You’re looking great as usual 👍
For the years I am following you, you never change, the most honest, beautiful, elegant and genuine youtuber ever
I’m with everyone else that I didn’t notice the weight different on you but you always look amazing! Thank you for being honest about the workout and the program.
Love your way advise like "don't be hard on yourself", "dont get hang up on the scale number" and "dont be discouraged". I really need that cause I have been exercising and trying to eat right but I become discouraged after 1 month's of hard work and dont see any changes (yet). Watching your video is such an inspiration for me to do better!
Thank you so much for sharing these tips! I identify with so many of them. I used to be overweight after studying in London and being surrounded by so many amazing food options. Graduated and returned to my home city feeling lethargic and lousy about myself, until I came across an article that gave similar tips and stuck to them. I ended up being at my lightest and healthiest when I ate slowly, had much greater awareness of what I put into my body, and worked out more regularly without "punishing" my body with crash diets and overly ambitious workouts. The key word is really "sustainability", enjoying the journey and not letting the scales rule your life. These tips are life-changing!
Thank you for sharing your journey and being realistic. Sometimes we see youtubers as filtered and never see the real person. 🌞
Congratulations on your success! I’ve also gained the Covid-15 but your video inspired me to embark on my own weight loss journey. I just purchased the book you recommended and will read that on top of exercising little by little everyday 🤗 Thank you~!
Ahh I'm so glad you found it useful! That book was like WOAH to me. It really made me appreciate whole food like nothing else before it.
Great advise. Very sustainable tactics. I started following similar strategy beginning of 2020 and lost 35 lbs since then. For exercise, I do long walks or hikes and have been able to continue doing that for 20 months now. Increased protein as well and cool almost all meals on our own. I didn’t have to cut down on eating one nice meal each week where I go all out. I do want to lost 10 more lbs. struggling to do that now :).
That’s an amazing transformation and journey.. Could you please share your daily diet plan ? Thanksxx
Wow amazing work!
@@Girlnextdoorlondon sure. Like @chaseamie, I wasn’t dieting per se. I changed my lifestyle to eat healthier food. I cut out most processed foods, ate at home for all but 2 meals/weeks and walked/hiked 250 min per week. For food, I ate a ton of eggs, salmon, cod, tuna, beans, legumes, healthy vegetables, quinoa. I still continued to eat bread and rice but just lowered quantity each week. Went into calorie deficit. To be honest, it didn’t feel like I was depriving myself of anything. I am a good cook so it helps making yummy and healthy recipes. Hope it helps :).
This may sound like a bit of a weird question, but how do you manage your daily post workout hair? I have long, fine hair prone to frizz and sometimes the thought of having to wash and dry it puts me off from doing my cardio workouts!
TOTALLY AGREE!!! Sounds like an excuse but this is my #1 reason why I don't want to workout sometimes!
Ahh I don't have a good solution to this I'm afraid 🙈 I just tend to wash it most days when I shower!
Yes, the hair situation is real… I have this problem because I have long and full hair so to wash them is pain in the b…. 😅
This sounds terrible but I just washed it with water :(
Tie it in a high bun whilst working out. After, untie and blow dry upside down on the cool setting. Then dry shampoo. I can go 2 workouts without washing my hair
THANK YOU for talking about sustainability and a calorie deficit! There's so much false information out there, and way too much emphasis on crash diets or cutting out entire food groups that inevitably either doesn't work in the long run or have a negative impact on health outside of weight. Appreciate this holistic, factual approach and the disclaimer that you're still not an expert (which is totally okay)!
The 21 day fix and 21 day fix extreme is my best choice 👌!!
I've heard it takes 4 weeks for someone to see a change in their own body and 8 weeks for others to notice.
Thank you for sharing Amie. I think this is by far one of my favorite videos you made so far, not that I don’t love the style ones, but Thank you for sharing your journey and kudos for being so open and honest, loving 🥰 your channel even more.
Aw thank you so much Grace!
Thank you for sharing this inspiring journey and including PICS! This just says how raw and honest you really are👍👏💖
Such a great attitude towards weight loss 👏🏻 It’s all about creating routines that are sustainable. Congrats you look amazing!
Definitely one of the best video about a health and fitness journey, and I am very glad to know that it is basically what I am trying to do with myself. Love how positive and real you are, thank you so much for sharing, it was inspiring ❤️
Loved this video, Amie! Wonderful progress and such a great mindset through it all! I've been trying to get healthier as well, but have struggled with figuring out a good home workout routine since I walked (briskly) everywhere pre-pandemic and didn't need to exercise outside of that (work was 2 miles away from home, so I easily speed-walked more than 4 miles every workday on my city's hilly terrain). I've been working from home since the pandemic started and have lost much of my former endurance and energy as a result. While I've been able to maintain my healthy eating habits throughout the last 1.5 years, I'm definitely not exerting the energy needed to balance out my daily calorie intake (which hasn't changed from pre-pandemic times as it's still just 3 healthy meals a day), so I often feel bloated and lethargic, and my lack of exercise + same calorie intake has also led me to lose muscle and gain weight/body fat. There are so many home exercise routines out there that I'm quite at a loss about where to start, especially since I've never needed to buy exercise equipment. Can you possibly do a video on the exercise equipment that you feel is absolutely necessary for most home workouts? For example, this video had photos of your mat and weights in some backgrounds. Can you talk about things like what weights you use and introduce your other staples (or substitutes/alternatives) for most of your workouts? A basic guide like that would be so helpful, especially since you have the most calm and organized way of addressing things! Anyway, really appreciate this video! Love that you always keep it so real with us! 🙂
Such a healthy approach , so happy for you Amie. I myself want to start work out but I have always deal with anemia and low blood pressure so im scared. But like you I want to improve my health and feel stronger. Thank you for this video!
Great and very valuable content Annie 👏👏 The intro, when you gave the audience very wise perspective on covid and approach to weight gain - it was so needed here and so helpful! Thank you 🙏💖
Thank you for making this video. It was so real, honest and relatable! Loved it!
all of the minder you mention is soooooo familiar Amie!! Thanks so much for sharing this, you’ve given me a new motivation!!
Love this video! I feel like so many of us are on this journey. This just motivates me more. Congrats on your results!
Amie, you are giving me the inspiration I need to start doing this. I too gained the 'covid 15'. I did well the first year of lockdown and being stuck at home, but the turn into 2021 brought my moral down which equaled me eating just to comfort myself. It is what it is, but now is the time to get back in shape. I did the 21 day fix workouts in the past. I remember the first few weeks of muscle pain even when trying to sit in a chair. LOL!
You are reminding me that it does work and might look for those old CDs I have somewhere ;) As for the eating, I think doing what you are doing is the best way. Cutting sugar and making healthier meals is the way to go. Thanks for the inspiration!
Just bought the book! Loved the info and thank you for sharing your fitness journey ❤️
Congrats Amie! Those are all great tips. Would love to see videos of the meals you guys prepare : )
Thanks so much for sharing your journey! Could not tell you put on extra weight, but good to know you did this to stay healthy and not to simply maintain an image. Truly inspiring.
I am one of those who DM'd you for your workout routine 🙋♀️😂. Thank you so much for sharing! Very inspirational for someone who also has a sweet tooth.
Haha I hope it helped!! Sweet tooths are both the best and the worst haha :)
Your sensible and sustainable approach is very inspiring for me. I, too, have taken many of these steps to lose a few pounds and feel better. Adding more protein and cutting back on added sugar makes a huge difference. Thank you for the tips. Cheers!
Thanks for this vlog. In the past I have done beachbody but I have recently slacked off. Your vlog has made me pumped up to do the 21 day fix.
Ahh amazing! Definitely remember to print out the workout calendar if you can! I still have my original one that I proudly crossed off each day haha. First time I EVER completed a full program 🙈 I was so proud haha
@@ChaseAmie Thanks. That is such a helpful suggestion. I definitely do that.
I would love to hear more about your calorie intake and types of heathy meals you had on a daily basis.
Hi Amie, the video was so inspiring to me that I started the challenge as well. I am done with 2 weeks and 2 kilos less!! It seems very sustainable to me, I learn how to plan leaner, healthier meals and most valuable is transformation of the body - I look better, I have more energy, I started caring more about my skin. Whole program is very vitalizing. My aim is to continue for full 12 weeks and for sure some habits will stay longer with me. Your tips were very helpful. Thank you again!!
Congratulations, Amie!
Thanks for sharing, Amie! Feeling motivated now 😀
thank you Amie and congratulations!
I always thought you looked great Amie! I’ve been a follower for years and I remember when you first lost weight so when you made this video, I was like what weight does she need to lose?? But you look so much more toned and it’s so inspiring! I lost all my quarantine weight and more so now I’m looking to get more toned. And I love that you’re posting this just in time before all the major food holidays haha we all need this to abstain from the temptation of over indulging at holiday parties
All of your steps made so much sense! Thanks for sharing your plan. 😊
This is the video I didn’t know I needed! Thank you 👏🏽👏🏽
Ah so happy you found it helpful!
You have an amazing closet!!! Goals!!☺️💕
Thank you for sharing your experience and journey. Especially the last minutes where you note that it’s actually really tough and you’ll probably feel crappy those first couple of weeks! It’s really easy to get discouraged at the beginning, so knowing that it’s actually totally normal for it to suck those first few weeks and you won’t feel energized as promised with a few workouts is actually very helpful. It makes total sense of course, but as someone who has baby weight AND COVID lbs to lose, some days are really tough to get motivated and to stick to it. My energy has been awful as of late and stuck in a vicious cycle of being too tired to cook, so we order out and well, you know. Anywho, thank you for sharing! You looked great before and now you look (and feel) amazing!
Aw thank you Elssy! I'm so glad you found it helpful! 100% re: first few weeks. I thought I was doing something wrong that I just felt awful all the time haha. Grateful I had Dan to give me that reassurance otherwise I probably would have quit. Would highly recommend meal prepping if you struggle with energy levels at the beginning. Have definitely saved me from takeout on more than one occasion!
Oh my goodness I thought I was the only only one who felt tired and week all day after a workout, my husband always told me I should feel the opposite
So interesting to hear about the recovery period 👍🏻
You look absolutely amazing Amie, I really didn't see the weight gain on you. I remember when I had my first personal training session that I was actually sick, as my body went into shock. But I now love weight training and feeling stronger
Congrats Amie!
Amie! I really love how you did your disclaimer. This is what happened to me exactly. Put on weight during pandemic, and though I am never considered “fat” but the amount of extra kgs due to shitty food and lack of workouts really do make me feel sluggish and terrible! I am on my second week of diet as well and already feeling so much greater! Congratz on your new energetic body and soul!
Ahh that's amazing! And yes - totally identify with you! It's crazy how you don't realise how it creeps up on you. It's such a high when you begin to feel better though! :)
I could not agree more with every point you made in the video. I too started my weight loss journey earlier this year and have managed to lose 7kg.
Congrats!
Amazing work!
Amazing video and happy for you! Would love to see a video about your eating habit!
Thanks, this was so honest! And loved it not being too body-fixated, more about health benefits. I’m the same place you were and tried so many things. I think I will try like this, just do it 30min/day instead of long hours. Thanks!!
Thank you for sharing! That extra care you put into yourself shoes. You look stronger
You’re so inspiring Amie!!
Never noticed that you gained any weight! Always looking pretty! ♥️ Thank you for sharing. I had a stressful day at work and after watching this video, I felt motivated and immediately jumped on my bike and started spinning. 🤣
Aww🙀❤💕💕🧚🏼♀️🐾🐾🥑
So proud of you!!!!
Congratulations Amie! Thanks for your recommendations.
Thank you, Amie!! Great video. I appreciate your candor and sharing your tips.
Congrats Amy and thank you for sharing!!!
Well done Amie, Congrats. I feel you when i am trying to loose weight after my high school. I really dont know even if i don't eat much, i don't lose weight and miserable each time i weigh myself. Now after embarking years in exercising, running and weights training, i will never turn back. Now i am doing 3 days a week exercise for 30 mints of cardio each day and 1 weight training a week for 45 mints i really feel so so much better. Although i still can do better and will try to get 2 weight training a week and yes toning of muscles means you get more lean and not fat. The weight can be a bit heavier but is muscles weight not fat. And Yes, i do not really need to cut my intake of food although i still caution not taking too much sugar i had and like you had said is easier after we are used to it. Last year and this year, i continue my workout even if the gym is closed doing weights at home. Now that the gym is reopened, is even better and i can do more. Good that Dan is doing that together with you. It really helps. That is why i make my hubby to join me for my twice a week run outdoor and now it has became our routine. Now he does weight training too after i purchased all the dumbbells. Good thing he does believed in all these since he was a fitness instructor before Thanks for sharing.
I’m glad this video isn’t one that purely promotes working out. In my brief research, it seems our diet (what we eat) is the biggest factor in our health. Working out is supplemental to that. Love the healthy and sustainable approach to health. Definitely gained some weight in my midsection and hoping to shed that. I look pregnant but I’m not pregnant and it’s making me feel bad.
Now that you lost the weight, are you still subscribing to Beach Body Amie? And why that program as oppose to workout on RUclips?
Thanks for sharing Amie! Your journey is such an inspiration. Did you purchase just the 21 day fix & 21 day fix extreme DVDs?
Thank you for sharing this! What was you daily calorie target and did it change during the 12 weeks?
I generally tried to target between 1300-1500 calories a day. I think it was recommended for me to do 1200 calories for my weight range but with the workouts I was doing, it felt too little. That stayed the same throughout :)
@@ChaseAmie also, what about alcohol?
@@ChaseAmie Thank you! You look fantastic!
Thank you for your honesty and the photos. Really helpful and sensible.
Thank you so much for this Amie!
Hey Amie. I just wanted to clarify that both muscle and fat weigh the same lb for lb. However, muscle is denser so it takes up less space. That’s why in your pictures you weigh the same but in your after picture you look leaner 💁🏼♀️
Hi! Yup, I'm aware but it's a useful way to think about it to explain lack of weight loss whilst still looking (and feeling!) better. Sorry I should I have elaborated more haha! :)
Thanks a lot Amie! This really is motivating!!!! Can you share or give us a link to your recipes?
Really enjoyed this video, such an inspiration 😍
Been waiting for this forEVER!
Hi lovely Amie, thank you so much for sharing! I am at your "beginning stage" of working out and eating healthy. Since we still are under so many restrictions here in Canada, we recently purchased Peloton + bike and hubby and I are doing workout every single day. I also got new chiropractor, we are commited to lose weight and be healthy.(Still having some champagne and 🍷). You and Dan should definitely give Peloton a try sometime!! Oh, you also forgot to mention one thing.. buy ton of cute matching workout outfits to motivate yourself and feel good when you workout! 😆 🤣 😂
Ahaha well the last bit goes without saying lol! Peloton is totally on my wishlist... I just don't know where I'd put it haha!
How has losing that affected your closet? Did you have to purge your clothing and rebuy? Or,were you just looking to having the clothes fit better?
i also do beachbody workouts and i love them, move your body, drink more water, get enough sleep, cut down the sugar and process, cook more, watch your portion size and be kind to yourself x
Amazing! Thanks for sharing with us, I appreciate the inspiration and motivation in this. Health truly is is wealth. I’ve put on about 10lbs since the start of the pandemic and am at the point I really wanna get fit and energized. Tired of feeling bleh and letting the days go by just working and being sedentary. Thank you and I’m wishing you the best fitness and health! xo
Oh this is so true. Nothing more important than investing in our health at the end of the day! Good luck on your journey - it's definitely so worth it (even if the first few weeks were so painful for me haha!) :) xx
@@ChaseAmie Getting started is always hardest. I’ll go in expecting that. And then remember that you now look forward to your workout! Maybe I will, too… 🙏
@@ChaseAmie Btw, the before and after photos are amazing, thanks for being willing to share those. Like others I hadn’t noticed any weight gain on you but am so inspired by the trim down and those abs!! Way to go!
You always look great Amie and thank you for sharing. The pandemic indeed made me gain few pounds and as I age , loosing weight is more challenging in spite of exercising everyday. Great tips and very inspiring.
Great tips! Congrats and thanks for sharing! I’m curious how you set and kept track of your calorie target?
Hi Amie,
Can you please share what kind of recipes you and Dan tried out? Was it from a book or you just searched online?
great video, very helpful, thank you for doing it.
Hi Amie, just want to know which subscription did you get in beachbody,? Thank you.
Thank you for sharing your weight loss journey with us.
I managed to maintain my weight during lockdown, then as soon as lockdown uplifted, I gained 7kg from eating and drinking myself silly!
Currently in the process of losing the weight and I can find food management frustrating and unenjoyable. I don’t want to diet either, so trying to cut down portions and process carb intake.
Loved this video 🧡
Amazing! I had never noticed the extra weight to be honest, but am so glad you feel better within yourself.
Amie, you look amazing!👌🏻😁❤️ Yes, the correct food intake will definitely give you much better results than just working out alone. It should be a healthy habit and not a one time success. Love your channel. Xo, from NYC 💐🥰
Wow. Thank you for sharing. That’s brave!
This was so inspirational - thank you for sharing!
Thank you for sharing your journey with us. I am also trying to lose the quarantine weight. I have made some of the same changes that you have but the biggest hurdle I am running into is cooking at home. My mom was never a big cook so I wasn’t really taught much about cooking. I’ve definitely gone out of my comfort zone and taken some online cooking classes which has helped with my self confidence with cooking but now my problem is finding new recipes to try. Would you mind sharing with us some of the websites, cook books, etc. that you enjoy using to find new recipes? Thank you!
So I actually had the same problem but for the opposite reason. My mum was a professional chef... which means I never cooked haha! I knew a bit obviously but her recipes were way too advanced for me. I ended up using a lot of the Beachbody recipes - I particularly liked the Portion Fix ones (from the same trainer who does the workouts).
I don't follow her container system but they're still balanced recipes that break down calories and nutritional value. I ended buying both the Portion books and they're great! They're not fancy like some books (literally just ring binders) but are functional and always yummy :)
Weighing myself every day is critical for me. It is not miserable at all. Scales are very accurate. Just don’t starve yourself, and you won’t be famished.p and then overeat later. Not hard. You have deeper mental hangups if weighing yourself throws you off that much.
I agree with her on this. It’s defeating. Losing and then gaining. Everyone is different I suppose. I stopped weighing and felt better and lost more
Thank you for this video ❤️
Oh, Amie, quick question for you, did you and Dan had some alchohol beverages during that 12 weeks period ?? Thank you!
Yup, for sure. We're not huge drinkers though and we rarely drink at home - only for special occasions or if we're entertaining. We will usually have a couple of drinks when we go out but it's nothing major.
How will you sustain your work outs, will you do the 30 minutes every day (or most days) for ever? That's my problem, I can't sustain actual work outs every day even though the results are great! I always end up dropping out even though my looks really benefit from it.
I have a lot less issues with watching what I eat and walking tonnes so that's what I do.
Walking is great exercise too! For me, the 30 minutes isn't such a big deal anymore. I can easily spend that scrolling on my phone so I'm happy to make the time (at least for now!) :) xx
@@ChaseAmie that's great, exercising is such a good habit to have, thank you for sharing your experience !!
I LOVE how you did this, Amie! Thank you for sharing! You always look wonderful, though! I understand the whole ‘this is my last chance to enjoy food’ thinking. It’s so wrong. I LOVE how you feel the ‘energy help’ now! Congratulations! ❤🇨🇦❤
Aw thank you so much Donna! :D
Finally something realistic! Love this!
I could only wish to loose 15 pounds unfortunately when going through menopause it’s a huge struggle and feels almost impossible, your looking amazing Amie thank you so much for sharing your weight loss.
Totally agree. Perimenopause changes everything for the worse.
It’s the worse. I need to lose 10. It’s pretty impossible in menopause.
You should check out busbee style, she vlogged about her weight loss through menopause
This is because during that time women develop hidden insulin resistance condition. Do Watch Dr Becky Fitness YT channel. She adresses specifically this problem and seems to have medical knowledge to back up what she teaches. Good luck! ✊✊
Fantastic! Congrats. Thanks for sharing.
Brilliant I’m doing intermittent fasting and it’s good but in the last 4 weeks I’m stuck. Nothing coming down. I do feel a whole lot better But need to get fit. Thanks for your no bs approach. I’m inspired as you’ve explained it so well xox
Aw thank you Antoinette! I did give intermittent fasting a go but couldn't make it work with my morning workouts so gave up haha. It's so useful as a guide if you can make it work though!
Thanks for this video. I’ll have to check out the workout program you’re doing.
Thanks for sharing your personal journey, Amie! Wise words as ever 😊 I cook a lot and my diet is decent, but I find that I don’t like cooking ‘unhealthy’ food and weirdly would rather get an even unhealthier takeaway! 🤦🏻♀️ does anyone else get this?! Xx
Well done Amie! Lovely before and after. Did you increase your water intake, sometimes I feel like I eat when I should be drinking more water.
Would you consider doing a video that shows what you eat in a day? Thank you.
I didn't but I've always drank a LOT of water so I didn't really need to. I probably drink 3-5 litres a day so not really much room for me to drink more haha 🙈 And yes! Totally happy to do this!
I so agree wtih you about weighing yourself daily...that doesn't help with fitness journey.. Once every 2-4weeks will do. Well doe Amie. For someone who's lost 30lbs over few years slowly , I totaly know what you are talking about and it was the same approaches I did...
How is your day scheduled? Workout in the am, then work, then cook? I feel like we get into a habit of not being active or eating/cooking well due to time. How did you do “create” time in what must be an already packed schedule?
Yup, I try to get my workouts in when I first wake up. Sometimes things don't go to plan and I have to squeeze it in during the evening but I found that anytime I missed a workout, it was because I left it until evening so I try my best to get it done first thing.
In terms of creating time, I just try to get up 30 minutes earlier. Not terribly exciting but that's where I think the beauty of just 30 minute workouts comes in. I definitely used to spend that just scrolling on my phone in bed so I try to limit that now and just get started with my day!
@@ChaseAmie thank you for responding! what about cooking and cleaning up after? I feel like that might be harder than working out for me lol
What’s your height and weight now? Im not sure if you mentioned it in the video maybe I missed that part
I'm 5'7" and around 59kg/ 130lbs :)
Thanks so much for this video!! I have been very demotivated fitness/healthy eating wise lately but you have inspired me to try again!
One big challenge i have is coming up with interesting meal options for me and my family. What websites/books etc do you use for easy, healthy recipes? I would love to get some new ideas and inspiration. Tha ks again Aimie, i love you genuine, sincere approach and i find your videos so calming!!
Super important to maintain a healthy relationship with food if you are trying to lose weight, dieting is a big trigger for eating disorders. Also a reminder that over 90% of diets in the long run end in weight gain rather than weight loss, it’s a scientific fact and not to be hard on yourself if this happens to you! It’s possible to improve fitness without weight loss so the increased exercise will still be really helpful.
Not trying to be negative I just work with people with eating disorders and am so cautious about these kind of videos! Calorie counting is a huge trigger for people with disordered eating, for people in that group (and everyone I think) considering intuitive eating is worthwhile.
I love that you any food groups and didn’t weigh yourself often, they are definitely positive things.
Seems here there was little talk about dieting and more emphasis on a multi-step approach to sustainable lifestyle changes.
All and all, I’m not sure it’s anyone’s job to accommodate their videos/comments to those with eating disorders who can potentially be triggered by this type of content. There is always the possibility, given the clear video title, to simply not consume such content.
