You’re so real for telling all of the tough stages you went through with yo yo dieting and binging. Not many people are willing to share that, but it is so helpful to the people who truly struggle to see that they aren’t alone and it is possible to change. Love this video 💕
No it’s not. That book is an e book on a dodgy website claiming to be written by “olivia thompson”, an author with zero nutritional or fitness quals. in fact, ZERO info is known on the author.
If you continue to eat healthy and move you can stay healthy even if you gain a bit of weight. This will also help you continue to be healthy in your life even after the baby comes
7:07 this is so important. Everyone needs to find their way. They can have some inspiration but they need to find out what they like and what works for them.
this is the most relatable video, your just real and its so refreshing Thank you sincerely! and you gave so much useful straight up info while relaying in a real experience down to earth way, Im not a write a comment sort of person but your vid is one of the best ive watched on this subject mainly because of the reasons above and ive randomly watched a lot through out the years, so please keep going you will help so many people with your realness x
You literally described my life..when it comes to weight..Always the heavy the one amongst my friends. After kids, I started working out became a gym rat..healthy eating. Was always asked are you trainer? Then menopause hit..struggling to get motivated and balance hormones. This video is just what I needed..thank you.
I can relate. I spent a year inGermany and I lost weight. I think part of it was walking and taking the transit system everywhere, but the food was so wholesome and good.
For me it was the other way around. When I moved to California, I went to the beach every day after college (Santa Barbara) and I took many trip out into the nature and went hiking. When I moved back to Germany, I did not move at all, since it is cold most of the year and I tend to stay inside because I hate cold weather, plus the good German bakery stuff and bread always adds up and I gain weight :D Also, in Cali many of my class mates were soo skinny, I felt like I needed to lose weight.
It's probably not so much about where you move to, it's just much easier to drop bad habits if you move places. (Like it was relatively easy for soldiers to drop drug addictions they picked up in day Vietnam after they came home.)
Thank you for sharing your experience also in english!!!! I started to be inspired by you but often found german contents. I'm happy you are extending your public to strangers 😊 even if I'm not an english native speaker, I can understand your words and actually I feel a lot in common with your first stages. I'm still looking for my own lifestyle. My relationship with food takes away a big part of my mental energies and time... struggling in finding a routine... but I'm working on it and found your video really helpful. Thank you so much!!!!!
“Find a lifestyle I can stick to and enjoy without restricting self.” “Fruit is like my candy alternative” (but don’t go overboard and be aware of calorie density of different fruits) “Be honest with yourself”(about what you’re actually eating) “Find healthier alternatives to what you enjoy” (eg make energy balls, make own peanut butter) “Be in calorie deficit - eat high volume, low calorie” (eg eat berries more than bananas, high water content veg) “Develop a routine - when to eat, what to eat, when to exercise” “Don’t compare yourself to others” “Start slowly and keep going” (losing weight fast can result in yo-yo, bingeing, putting it all back on)
I really like how you found on your journey that you are someone who likes to eat in volume so you found a way that works for you and I think that is a fresh perspective for alot of people to hear thankyou ❤
I found you on TikTok and I’m glad you share your videos here as well. First of all, you’re so beautiful, especially your big and cute eyes. Secondly, you did an amazing job. I’m on my way to lose weight and my diet is healthy food too, I avoid any sugary food/drinks and don’t eat anything that contains flour and milk(I’m lactose intolerant), go to the gym 3 times per week. And I already see results, one month passed only. So, what you share is the only healthy way to get rid of fat and get toned. Thank you for your responses.
If you’re a parent reading this, and think the solution to your child’s weight issues will be for you to tell them you worry and that they need to find a way to lose the weight, then you are so off and will often time make the issue worse. Also know that eating disorders are about the emotions and an inability for the person to regulate their emotions. The food is their addiction and very rewardng and numbs their emotions. How you treat your child during their upbringing is key to avod them struggling with their weight. This is a psychological issue, not a food issue (the food and weight are symptoms of psychological issues)...hence why nutrition and physical activity knowledge and seeing a dietician are things that don’t work longterm, due to the core issues were not dealt with! *Asking your child about their emotions, listening to them talk about their experiences and not emotionally neglect them are ways to avoid these issues. This didn’t psychologically happen over night, it’s years in the making!* / Uni. psycholgy student
yes but at the same time: not the full picture. I had the most loving encouraging empathic parents imaginable who surrounded us with healthy food but never deprived us of a treat or demonized bad foods. Our mom did her best to teach us confidence and body positivity. BUT we got bullied. And my sister was rounder, then chubby, then overweight, now morbidly obese, it's been a long downhill trajectory since her 12th birthday and the body positivity turned into less sugary treats in the 4pm cupboard at home, became light expressions of concern in regards to her weight to now becoming very honest straight up worry due to the many many many health risks connected to it. All our lives our mom listened to our mental worries first. Parents teaching and showing how to balance healthy eating and a healthy lifestyle, and trying to be there for their mental health is not always enough. And sometimes informing your child about risks and diet in a safe and healthy way is preferrable to them delving into tiktok or online for unhealthy dietary advice
I just lost 6kg, only way I as able to do it is to stop visiting my mum everyday XD She just wants to feed me and when I say no she acts sad. I've been chubby all my life because my family would force me to eat, so I had no self control, still don't. BUT now I am really trying to lose weight and keep it off. I am trying to motivate my mum and dad to also lose weight because they are getting older. My sister is severly overweight but she doesn't want to lose weight, I think it is "faal angst" (fear of failure) she says she is "happy" being 120kg and only 160cm tall. I just weighed 70kg at 160cm I was 76kg.
Loved this video! A lot of people mistake healthy for « for weight loss ». I was one of those people as well and it took me a little while to understand the difference and the caloric content of ingredients (ie: nuts, granola etc) which we would consider healthy - and it’s not wrong - but not for fat loss. Anyways, loved your videos! Happy you’re happy ❤
Why you should use the Alpilean Weight Loss Supplement? The actual cause of Alpilean's enormous popularity and success is the method of action it employs. It is intended to assist the body repair the underlying problems, recovering more quickly, and getting back to a healthy weight management path rather than forcing it into something artificial. The multi-dimensional strategy it uses has a special component, too-low core body temperature. Fat may be melted by thermogenesis as well, allowing the organism to undergo a full metabolic change.

For the first time in my life I've FINALLY found a video on weight-loss that feels so reliable! You describe my thoughts and feelings completely which makes me so inspired by you. 💓💓💓 So, THANK YOU for sharing your journey and being so open about it! YOU'RE A STAR! 🥹⭐
We understand that we won’t lose weight from the food you eat but just like you got your meal inspiration from the VS model, others wanted to be inspired by you.
My highest was 180 lbs. I am now 165 lbs - my goal is 130 lbs. Slowly but surely, Ive been really good at walking 10K and I calorie count to make sure I can have a treat and not feel like things are forbidden.
Thats Amazing!! I'm happy to hear that you're going for it. Also really good that you don't Cut out all the "Joy" in food. As long as it is controlled, that is the best way to go :) Proud of you!!
I think the healthy/unhealthy thing is so odd. Depends so much on what you compare it to. Like for me I was eating "healthy" in the sense that I ate a lot of vegetables, protein, varied food, but I just ate too much for my body. Like I would eat two avocados for lunch, and although avocados are "healthy" two of them was putting me in a calorie surplus. Tracking my food and making sure I was in a small déficit and strength training 3x times a week is what helped me. I ate the exact same, just a more appropriate amount for my body. And since I'm gaining mucle and losing fat I can more easily maintain my body as mucle is more metabolically active than fat. Yes it's important to get the nutrients from food that has more vitamins and nutrients, but it won't help to eat "healthy" if you're not in a déficit. And you can be in a déficit only eating fast food as well, it's probably not going to give you the other benefits whole foods and vegetables has, but you could still lose fat.
No matter what you choose, diet, exercise or meds. Weight loss is not easy. I recently shared my story on my channel, on how I lost 22 pounds in 5 weeks, which could be really helpful to anyone struggling with weight loss.
Is it sad that this video made me cry, recently dealing with the fact that I gained back all the weight I lost. It’s makes me feel so bad because I felt so comfortable in my own skin and I was just loving my life and now I’m right back in a mental space where I’m constantly worried about my body and how I look and it’s mentally exhausting.
I was always a healthy weight and then got leaner and more muscular from 19-21 years old. I was regularly 125lbs-128lbs. I’m 5’2” and that wasn’t too lean for my frame. Then I got pregnant with my son and gained 45lbs. It really showed on my frame and I really didn’t look healthy. I tried a lot of things, but finding someone who can help you find your macros and sticking with them with healthy/well balanced foods is a game changer. My second pregnancy, I didn’t gain any extra fat. Just the weight of the baby/amniotic fluid. Stay active even if it’s light and don’t starve yourself. Lots of protein! And lots of water!
Loved your video but certain things shouldn’t be considered “unhealthy” it only becomes “unhealthy” when your eating these things in an over abundance. The best thing to do in my opinion, is take 3 things from each food group, Protein, fats, carb, starches etc, and create you plan from those things that you enjoy eating. There’s no need to find substitutions. For some people, being too restrictive will cause them to completely stop what their doing. Portion sizes are definitely key. You can have your cake and eat it too, but in moderation. Labeling things as “healthy” and “unhealthy” creates a bad relationship with food. This is just my opinion, as I’ve struggled with food my entire life until recently. I learned, it’s all about balance.
I have been trying to lose weight for so long I am beginning to believe that I will never get to something comfortable. But you are much younger than me and I have already gone into menopause and that is a factor. Good luck.
Good Monday morning Jo. Congratulations on your weight loss. You're looking fit and fantastic. Your tips for a weight loss journey are absolutely inspiring. 👌👌😉😉
You are absolutely gorgeous wow! Thanks for sharing your story, very inspiring. I am trying to lose a small amount of weight, about 20 lbs…….id gained it from mostly drinking. This video is very helpful. Thanks :)
When I moved to USA everybody said I would gain weight. I actually lost weight here in the first year. Mostly because I did not like the food at first. Now 5 years later I never gain more weight then when I came. But I am still trying to lose weight and become thinner.
During my entire primary school, I was overweight. I even skipped a road trip because my class was heading to the beach, and I felt too insecure to show my body, so I didn’t want to go. My teacher asked my parents why, and they explained that I didn’t wan
why are so many people obsessed with eating a lot of food (volume)? I would rather eat a little/ normal portion that satisfies me than a big volume meal. I'm seriously curious 😊
because a high volume meal fills up your stomach and keeps you full for longer. imagine eating either a big bowl of vegetables or a smaller amount of the same calories, for example fried food. you‘re more likely to eat earlier again or snack between meals. hope this helps :) greez from germany
@@veggiegedoens thank you! I thought people are obsessed with eating a lot of volume but know I get it: people just want to feel fuller for longer. :) (but I also think that a lot of volume doesn't always fill you up more than lower volume with the same calories. in the end out body is smart and it requieres and therefore asks for the calories and mikronutriens it needs. if I only eat a bowl of vegetable for example or on the other hand a little less vegatables but also some proteine and fat (same calories as the other bowl), I feel much more satisfied and I also feel fuller for longer :) ) but maybe that's different for every person
Well I struggle with binge eating. I eat 3 days worth of food in one sitting on a bad night. I'm so stuffed I can't even move and I keep eating. It just takes over me, I cant really stop it at times. I hate myself for it. Why do I do it? Idk. I crave food so badly. It brings me comfort. And the cravings go crazy I guess
I grew up in a very primitive, wild, and challenging environment. Every day, people bullied me because of my looks. I had only a few friends, and I treated them poorly because I was unhappy. I directed my aggression and negative emotions toward them, losi
The saddest thing of all of this is just that healthy food is soo expensive and if you want a healthy lifestyle and generally love healthy food you just can’t afford it or you can but just some basic food and eventually it can get boring, same food all the time 🙁
@lullaybye5543 - example: I just bought a huge cauliflower for $3 that I made into soup and equals about 12 serves. Just add milk, garlic, potato. Cheap as. Could have used half and baked the other half or mashed it. Buy veg in season and be creative with making meals.
2:41 It is normal! Cats prefer fresh running water, and domesticated cats love tap water and prefer that, rather than luke warm water with dust in it that’s in their bowl that has been sitting out for several hours per day. This obsession cats have with fresh water is tied to their natural survival instinct, because fresh running water equals safe to drink. They look fun and cute though when they drink straight from the tap these lil fur-balls😂❤
hey jo, i love your story and your content is so helpful to someone with the same goals! when it comes to eating out, having a balanced diet, and going over your calories for the day/week, what do you recommend to balance out those unhealthy calories for the rest of the day/week?
Wow, she looks amazing, but you're right, it is a lifestyle and it's weird that some go vegan while other go carnivore, and some are a little of both and they all work if you stick to it. I myself have found that carnivore was the easier and best way to lose weight without even trying. So many benefits to the diet and if you eat just meat, eggs, seafood, and cheese only you sleep better, no cravings or very little, but its nothing that is over powering. Sleeping and waking up is easy and what I mean is that you don't drag yourself out of the bed. It's the moment you open your eyes you can get up without hitting the snooze button over and over. Your breathing becomes better and you can smell a lot better. You think clearer, no inflammation because you're not eating sugar and carbs. I say this because eating something with a very low carb won't hurt, but remember that your body stops burning fat every time you do and will store it instead. The benefits go on and there is a harvard study on this which shows amazing results. Anyways I liked everything you said about how you got to where you are today and it pretty much what everyone does on their journey to lose weight, we experience the yoyo effect if we're not serious about making it a life long change. Lastly, I would say for anyone starting, that the most important part is diet because you can't out work it no matter how hard you try. Learn to eat right and you will lose weight without working out even though its good to incorporate that later in your journey. Good luck on your journey and I would suggest you at least give the carnivore diet a month for anyone just starting out and you will be surprised. Don't cheat otherwise its just eating! Ciao
sehr sympatisches Video :) Danke für die ganzen Infos und Inspirationen... ich mag wie ruhig und entspannt du sprichst. Habe auch viel Inspiration von Romee Strijd, Sanne Vloet und Annie Jaffrey gezogen, vielleicht kennst du die ja auch :) Lieben Gruß!
I’m trying to lose weight and I saw your video. So useful 😍 but can you explain about the time that you suddenly stop losing weight? Not sure about the name I think it’s called plateau?😅 thank youuuuuu🥺❤️
You’re so real for telling all of the tough stages you went through with yo yo dieting and binging. Not many people are willing to share that, but it is so helpful to the people who truly struggle to see that they aren’t alone and it is possible to change. Love this video 💕
Jo, please consider reading the book Woman’s weight loss secrets: the unspoken truth, its a game changer
No it’s not. That book is an e book on a dodgy website claiming to be written by “olivia thompson”, an author with zero nutritional or fitness quals. in fact, ZERO info is known on the author.
Sounds like a scam
SCAM
I’m currently on my weight loss journey and this time I am 100% focused. Started 3 weeks ago and I am 9lb down, 25 to go 🎉
Congrats! What’s the routine?!
@@HeyCourtneyJ just calorie counting and running 🏃🏻♀️ I’m 13lb down now.
Waooooo this is amazing
Thats so great!! I love to hear it 💪🏽🤍
what did you do?
My heaviest I was 324 pounds. I have made it down to 185; but now I’m having a baby 😆. It’s okay. I know what to do:)
What did you do to lose the weight. If you don't mind me asking.
If you continue to eat healthy and move you can stay healthy even if you gain a bit of weight. This will also help you continue to be healthy in your life even after the baby comes
Awesome 💥 Good job
Congrats❤️
Please coach me! What to do
I love how you are not concerned about "looking good" but more so for Health...it's very inspirational. Thank you!
You are so pretty! Blonde hair with brown eyes has always been a beautiful combo to me.
7:07 this is so important. Everyone needs to find their way. They can have some inspiration but they need to find out what they like and what works for them.
You are amazing the way you talked about your journey it felt like a friend talking to a friend. So proud of you you gave so much motivation 😊
I like how honest and down-to-earth you are. You are a beautiful woman with amazing tips

I have been trying to lose weight for so long I am beginning to believe that I will never get to something comfortable. But you are much younger than me and I have already gone into menopause and that is a factor. Good luck.

I appreciate that!

I’ll add one more tip - drink lots of water.
💧💦💧💦💧 The body won’t function at its best if you’re dehydrated.
Welcome to the club. I was on yoyo dieting and trying keto fasting . But gained all the weight back
Love the Yankee hat!!! Let’s go Yankees. You are a rockstar.
I am new here ❤ congratulations! Such an inspiration 🎉 I’ve seen your videos on tiktok x
*Thanks for sharing your story and the steps that led to your success. Your video is both informative and encouraging!*
Fantastic insight into your weight loss journey. Thank you for sharing and well done!
My God why do you film this and look at the camera feedback while you're driving!!!!
Yes please do not do this. Very dangerous. 😢 Otherwise great video.
Why do you go to someone’s channel to criticize them! Go get a mirror
@@kaytanea29be quiet. It’s literally a public safety hazard and many people lost their lives from others filming while driving.
@@kaytanea29 Because her eyes aren’t on the road while she’s driving you muppet.
As if you never look at the radio/buttons/other people/clock in the car while driving. We all do this she was doing fine
Richtig gutes Video.... so wahr, was du sagst❤ es muss ein Lebensstil sein, keine Diät. LG
Das ist langfristig einfach der beste weg😊
I am glad I watched this I was feeling down because I lost the weight and gain it back. I did a diet not a lifestyle.
why are so many people obsessed with eating a lot of food (volume)? I would rather eat a little/ normal portion that satisfies me than a big volume meal. I'm seriously curious 😊
because a high volume meal fills up your stomach and keeps you full for longer. imagine eating either a big bowl of vegetables or a smaller amount of the same calories, for example fried food. you‘re more likely to eat earlier again or snack between meals. hope this helps :) greez from germany
@@veggiegedoens thank you! I thought people are obsessed with eating a lot of volume but know I get it: people just want to feel fuller for longer. :) (but I also think that a lot of volume doesn't always fill you up more than lower volume with the same calories. in the end out body is smart and it requieres and therefore asks for the calories and mikronutriens it needs. if I only eat a bowl of vegetable for example or on the other hand a little less vegatables but also some proteine and fat (same calories as the other bowl), I feel much more satisfied and I also feel fuller for longer :) ) but maybe that's different for every person
I’ve wondered the same thing
Well I struggle with binge eating. I eat 3 days worth of food in one sitting on a bad night. I'm so stuffed I can't even move and I keep eating. It just takes over me, I cant really stop it at times. I hate myself for it. Why do I do it? Idk. I crave food so badly. It brings me comfort. And the cravings go crazy I guess
I grew up in a very primitive, wild, and challenging environment. Every day, people bullied me because of my looks. I had only a few friends, and I treated them poorly because I was unhappy. I directed my aggression and negative emotions toward them, losi
The saddest thing of all of this is just that healthy food is soo expensive and if you want a healthy lifestyle and generally love healthy food you just can’t afford it or you can but just some basic food and eventually it can get boring, same food all the time 🙁
But it’s not. Eating healthy doesn’t have to cost a lot nor does it.
@@justMandy explain please❤️ i want to know
@lullaybye5543 - example: I just bought a huge cauliflower for $3 that I made into soup and equals about 12 serves. Just add milk, garlic, potato. Cheap as. Could have used half and baked the other half or mashed it. Buy veg in season and be creative with making meals.
My heaviest 153 after 3 kids now I’m 140 praying and working out to go down to 120
looking better makes life easier
I’m on my way I’m down 21 lb thanks so much for this great video!

2:41 It is normal!
Cats prefer fresh running water, and domesticated cats love tap water and prefer that, rather than luke warm water with dust in it that’s in their bowl that has been sitting out for several hours per day. This obsession cats have with fresh water is tied to their natural survival instinct, because fresh running water equals safe to drink. They look fun and cute though when they drink straight from the tap these lil fur-balls😂❤
i really love your story ; and love your makeup too
You're so lovely and fun to watch! Definitely subscribing
Thanks for sharing your story, it inspired me
hey jo, i love your story and your content is so helpful to someone with the same goals! when it comes to eating out, having a balanced diet, and going over your calories for the day/week, what do you recommend to balance out those unhealthy calories for the rest of the day/week?
please share your detailed weekly gym routine
loved the video and so inspiring!
Tq Jo ❤❤❤ this 'lifestyle' advice is really helpful :)
Thank you for this! It is so inspirational and motivating! ♥️
So motivating ❤
Can you share what exercises you do? And what leg exercises you did to lose weight in thighs and calves? Xx
The I moved to America…say no more 😂😂😂😂😂
Very inspiring!! I wonder if you could share your workout routine!! 😇
Wowww! Such a beautiful story 🥰👏🏼
Awesome video from start to finish! Bravo 👏🏻 😊
And restrict a lot of food like 1500 calories a day and 1800 but binge eat after some days
Thank you for making this video in English!! 😊 🎉More please haha
Wow, she looks amazing, but you're right, it is a lifestyle and it's weird that some go vegan while other go carnivore,
and some are a little of both and they all work if you stick to it. I myself have found that carnivore was the easier
and best way to lose weight without even trying. So many benefits to the diet and if you eat just meat, eggs, seafood,
and cheese only you sleep better, no cravings or very little, but its nothing that is over powering.
Sleeping and waking up is easy and what I mean is that you don't drag yourself out of the bed. It's the moment you
open your eyes you can get up without hitting the snooze button over and over. Your breathing becomes better and
you can smell a lot better. You think clearer, no inflammation because you're not eating sugar and carbs. I say this
because eating something with a very low carb won't hurt, but remember that your body stops burning fat every
time you do and will store it instead. The benefits go on and there is a harvard study on this which shows amazing
results.
Anyways I liked everything you said about how you got to where you are today and it pretty much what everyone does
on their journey to lose weight, we experience the yoyo effect if we're not serious about making it a life long change.
Lastly, I would say for anyone starting, that the most important part is diet because you can't out work it no matter
how hard you try. Learn to eat right and you will lose weight without working out even though its good to incorporate
that later in your journey.
Good luck on your journey and I would suggest you at least give the carnivore diet a month for anyone just starting out
and you will be surprised. Don't cheat otherwise its just eating! Ciao
I can not understand why no one is talking about how disordered not being able to not eat an entire pizza and generally her relationship with food is
hi jo wuensche after losing weight did you get loose skin?
