- We spent our lives OBSESSED with the idea of losing weight, assuming that it would make us happy. Is it worth it? Are we happier now?

Extremely wise words ladies, thank you for your honesty. I'm surprised to hear you say that you sometimes get unkind comments...I can't imagine how anyone could find you anything other than funny, charming and so down to earth and natural. I really love your videos on both channels so please keep doing what you do. Love from Ireland 🍀
Honestly some people are just miserable and take it out on nice people
Aww thanks Jill, I think some negative comments is just part of being on CZcams, everyone has to deal it it :)
Nothing tastes as good as a healthy weight feels. Love and appreciate you both! Happy Holidays!
I love these gals---they really tell it like it is, the good, bad, and ugly of disordered eating. And the gift of keto---it helps your blood sugar which is what screws with your food cravings. It is freedom.
So many of us have had the same feelings. We are own worst enemy for sure. Glad for you both and both channels. Thank you girls from the bottom of my heart ❤️
Unfortunately, in Cuban culture, weight is a huge deal. And making constant comments about your weight. And then become offended if you react with hurt, or anger. Since moving to SC from Miami, I can only think of one person who seems to notice or care about my weight. Even doctors here don’t automatically assume any ailments are related to weight. Love this discussion!
What a wonderful topic especially at this time of year. You beautiful twins were gorgeous at any weight but I love your authenticity and your vulnerability. God bless your husbands too. :-)
I declined being part of my best friend’s wedding party because I was 30 pounds overweight. Wish I’d found keto or Atkins back in the 80’s when I was heavy. Thank goodness I did find it 🎉
It’s true. One principle that absolutely for everything. Everything grows like a tree. It starts as a seed. Day by day season by season, whatever it is, it will mature. It’s a matter of a consistency that never ends.
I've started keto a few years ago. Kept caving to the off plan foods & binging. I began carnivore in September and that has been a game changer. I was able to stick to it for Thanksgiving. First time in my 61 years I didn't overindulge in sweets! You both are an inspiration.
Carnivore has been a game changer for me as well. Especially when it came to inflammation. I have been whole foods keto/ketovore since mid October but then when I switched to Carnivore on January 1st, I couldn’t believe how much better I felt! My aches and pains are so much less! And I’m just starting this journey so I hope they will continue to improve.
But whether we are carnivore, keto or low carb, it doesn’t matter. As Dr Berry says…”it’s all part of the Proper Human Diet”
👋❤Hello Beautiful Emily and Beautiful Sarah🌹 I Thank God for you both and your Channels.
I have always felt the same way you both have especially you Emily 💔 and I'm 55 yrs old 4' 11" 😐278lbs
A couple months ago I was in the process of having Bariatric surgery, Because I could not afford to be perfect keto. I have watched so many of your videos and using my cheaper versions have made many of the 2 & 3 ingredient recipes and am slowly loosing weight. A couple weeks ago I discovered the Carnivore diet which I never thought I could do because I definitely cannot afford grass fed or organic foods. But I stopped the process for the surgery & decided to just do the Best that I can do.
You both look so amazing and I am so proud of your accomplishments ❤
Thank You for your honesty and in making me smile because of it. 🤗
Grace, Peace, Big HugS and Much LoVe 🌹
Well I think it is just a terrible thought that you ever get nasty comments! I think you are both sweet and funny. I love your videos! And thank you for the Chaffle recipe-it’s delicious! I am a whole lot older than you two, so I found you CAN teach an old dog new tricks! So thank you ladies, you have inspired and helped me on my journey!
Not disagreeing with you ladies, just wanted to share my experience. I had lost about 50 lbs doing ww then spent 6 years trying to maintain it. I had thought losing weight would make me happy but the stress of trying to maintain and hopefully lose a few more lbs was rough. I was already happy with my life, good husband, 3 amazing kids, etc, so the weight loss didn't add to that. And it was nice to hear people say I lost weight but I was still really self-conscious about how I looked.
Then I started doing keto because I noticed I felt better eating low carb. 40 lbs melted off and while it didn't add to my happiness, certain things did disappear. Like you guys were saying, I stopped thinking about how people thought I looked. I stopped being self-conscious. I would say relief more than happiness came with that weight loss, again, I agree, it was like a weight lifted off the shoulders.
Love you girls, keep up the good work! And one of these days I'm not going to fix autocorrect when I accidentally type, "keto up the good work" 😁
You gals are awesome and you both encourage me to stay on this new life style of eating. I'm old and needed to feel better and keto does that for me. Keep up the amazing words of encouragement!
❤️❤️❤️
Thinking about food is a struggle. I agree. But, I don't ever want to go back.
You two are such an inspiration. I had to start losing weight because of my health. Being in my 70's and overweight most of my life it was not easy to have to buckle down and remake my habits from bad to good. I am not strict keto, am a lot like you and am technically keto. I have lost 40 pounds but I am only about half way. However, I know I can do it. My husband bought some Costco muffins for the kids who were coming for Thanksgiving. I tried to eat one but couldn't do it. My body screamed at me so it went in the trash. If I had not tried then I would have been craving it, now I know it isn't good for me and my body is reminding me of that. I have no desire to try again. The remaining muffins went home with the kids. Thank you for being so uplifting and positive!
Probably the most honest laser focused video I have seen on weight issues🙄. "No one really cares about your weight issues( paraphrased)" Amen ! After 20 lbs weigh loss in 41/2 months-- I'm now 117🎉 ,,, very few people even noticed😱. I realized they might think I'm seriously sick. So I bought new clothes that fit perfectly!!! I love Keto as I no longer obsess about calories ,fat, and carb counts. Life is better with 🥓 🎉🤣💗. I love you guys for the work you put into your channel👍. AND of course , most of all for CHAFFLES!!!
I started Keto on 2-2 2020, before the Covid lockdown, at the age of 71. I have lost 55 pounds. I wish I had known about this lifestyle 20 years ago. I feel so much better. Thanks for helping me on this journey!!! I don't want to loose anymore weight, I'm happy at 129 lbs! Had to get all new clothes! That was fun!
In 2019 I discovered the Keto lifestyle & lost almost 50 lbs, aside from my hubby nobody else said anything 🙄 but I definitely feel better & am really thankful for your channel because you two are so delightfully inspirational!!
Isn't it wierd that you appear so different yet people say nothing? Wonder what they are thinking???🤣🙄
I lost 112 pounds and my siblings in laws will not say ONE word about it haha wtvr my mother and father-in-laws are wonderful so it don't bother me
Because it’s considered rude to comment on a person’s weight.
I think both of you are beautiful and funny thing is I can tell both of you apart just watching you on both channels
You so deserve to be happy. We all do. I gained eight pounds back after losing fifty. Am I worried? No. I know exactly what to do. Tomorrow, crack down on my loose eating around the holiday. It was keto, but a lot of keto, too much keto, a keto binge. Balance awaits.
I can relate a lot with y’all. I found out last year I had a health issue and quitting sugar was what I had to do. I will be honest it took a lot to get started and I did cold turkey. I started May 1, 2021 and in 6 months I had lost 45 pounds and still there today. I will be honest I have days when I do cheat however I do watch myself closely. I really enjoy watching your channel and you both are awesome. Lots of love to both of you 🤗🤗
I've never heard a person voice what was in my head so well before. I would wake up thinking about what I can't eat today. I too was obsessed with eating. The minute I thought of losing weight I would have this overwhelming need to eat. Intermittent fasting, eating in a 6 hour window, is so easy. So much less pressure. You mentioned a few times before that with omad you liked not having to think about food all the time. Now I understand what you met. Thank you 😊
It’s really good to know that I’m not the only one with that struggle in my mind, thank you so much for sharing
Emily and Sarah you two are such an inspiration to so many people, I'm sure I speak for tons of people in telling you both how thankful we are that you guys put yourselves out there and you both have helped so many people on their journey to better health, we love you guys.
Thank you ladies, not worth taking any notice of the negative comments...you two are great, and you've worked very hard to create appealing content and you are so good with the cooking videos 🤣.... keep up the good work, you are still inspiring me to keep on ketoing on...😍❤️
I care about you both. Not for weight but because you are really genuine and honest and beautiful inside and out. When we were heavier I believe in my heart that people really do make fun of us and think bad of us. Like y'all now I'm lighter I don't care what people think. On this journey I've learned to love me for the first time in decades. ❤️🎈❤️🎈❤️🎈❤️🎈🙏❤️
People make of you when you’re thin too!
If you’re an unhappy fat person, you will be an unhappy thin person. You have to decide which is better for you!
@Kelly Lappin at my age I know that. I've heard and seen more fat people insults than thin people insults. I don't see them as jokes. People should play in their own backyards before trespassing in others.
I believe I am happier after losing 50 pounds. I don't think a keto lifestyle is restrictive and honestly I don't feel deprived. My clothes fit, my back and joints feel much better( in part to no sugar and the keto diet), and I can physically do so much more (think hiking, biking, yard work, etc) than I could when I was heavier. Thanks for your honest thoughts on this subject.
Am I happier - a little. Ive lost 85 lbs. so far and what I am is healthier. And I’m happy about that.
Congratulations!
Bravo Steven! 🥳🎉
I do feel better after losing weight on Keto. But my happiness has come from eating what is a proper diet for me. Keto has not only helped me lose weight but helped me find a better way to manage depression and PTSD.
There will always be haters. People don't want to see people succeed. It is like showing them a mirror to view their hortcomings. Rest assured that you have a community of people who love you and appreciate your pinions and experiences. Thank you for all you do!
❤️❤️❤️❤️
@Cynthia Anderson Well said!!👍👏👏
Thank you, ladies. 100% thank you.
You are speaking what has been inside my head from 15 to 51. Now at 53, lost over 100 lbs, I can say the inside chatter is 25% what it was before. It is still there but does NOT stop me anymore. Much love to u two ❤️
Happier yes, happy, no. Happier in all the ways you said, yes. :)
People who leave rude comments are projecting their own feelings about themselves. You know you have heard, MISERY LOVES COMPANY, many times. Unfortunate but true! So happy you two have accomplished what you wanted, I’m still working on my last 20lbs.
This is so touching in so many ways. I love the way you've both explained how "the weight off of your shoulders" gave you so much freedom to not even care so much about how you look anymore. Also, how neither wanted to steal the spotlight at times when your weight was less than your twin's...that brought me to tear. I have really embraced the idea of "lifestyle change" and definitely not "diet" and it has stuck now and I am reaping in the benefits; lower blood pressure, no more migraines, less arthritic pain, no more severe and chronic heartburn, generally happier, and yes, significant weight loss but the weight doesn't matter anymore like I thought it would in the beginning. I forget how sick i was in the past and am getting used to feeling amazing as a norm. It's wonderful. Thank you both, love you both so much. You've been huge motivator and fabulous, honest teachers!! My husband always says we would all get along so well if we ever met, lol.
Good chat! My first weight loss journey was back in 2009. I had a "guys weekend" planned in New Orleans with my brothers for my 50th b-day. I busted my butt working out and ate like a bird for 5 months. Did I lose weight? Yes. Was it hard? Yes. Did anybody care? No. Over the next 10 years I put it back on plus more. Fast forward to March 2020 - pre-diabetes diagnosis. Now I had a real reason to drop the excess pounds. Enter the low carb/keto lifestyle. 2 1/2 years in to it I've dropped nearly 50 pounds and mitigated my T2D situation. Feeling good. Looking good. Living good. For ME! So... Happier now.
The only down-side I've encountered is that, at 63, when you lose a ton of weight, people think something is wrong. "Wow, you lost weight. Are you OK?" I get that a lot from people I haven't seen during the pandemic (which is almost everyone...).
I have to agree with every thing y'all said. I spent many decades yo-yo dieting. Once I would lose the weight, I lived in fear of it coming back and could feel it returning. I did every treatment and diet known and still ended up at 249lbs 13 years after having a gastric bypass. I found Keto early in 2020 and lost 75 lbs that year. I have stayed at the same weight since then. No more fear of the weight creeping back. But I do need to buckle down and lose about 40 more lbs. The difference is, I no longer live in fear or obsession over my weight. I will eat this way for the rest of my life, and it is SO FREEING. Also, losing the weight will not solve your problems or turn you into a supermodel. But you will be happier and more able to enjoy your life. I love watching your videos and get happy whenever I see a new one. Thank you for the great recipes and encouragement!
Great video. I love how honest, funny and lovely you both are.
Hi Emily and Sarah, I’m so happy for both of you. Put the unkind words in garbage. You are both amazing and beautiful. And I love your videos and those are my kind words for both of you. ❤️
Thanks so much for sharing!
When I was a tween, I would watch the Miss America pageant and write down everyone’s height and weight and would keep those lists and would think about which contestant was about my height and think that I should weigh that amount. Can you believe they used to announce their height and weight??? Crazy!
So glad you started this new channel! I love you guys' philosophy and that you have decided to give it it's own space. It's really helped ME very much to hear about your strategy and see the joy with which you take this journey. The "right" Keto is the sustainable, life long version. No matter about perfect or not perfect. Took me long enough to learn that!
You both summed up a lot of my reactions to losing the weight, especially the stress. The freedom from stress about my appearance and finding clothes was incredible. Additionally, adopting a lifestyle approach rather than a diet further reduced my stress as I don't have to worry about gaining the weight back and I did that, in large part, because of you sharing your experiences so thank you so much.
Love your honesty ladies. I'm the exact opposite. I feel judged now that I'm no longer the DUFF. 😅 I was never self conscious about being 250+ lbs, I was very comfortable in that skin. Now at 175-80ish, I feel super awkward in public. I feel the need to tell new people "but I wasn't always this thin". *sigh* I'm getting better at appreciating what's in the mirror. I don't plan on leaving the lifestyle so I guess I just gotta get used to being small.
you both are so stunningly beautiful (heavy or light) it's hard to imagine y'all struggling mentally or feeling insecure at a heavier weight ... thanks for sharing
Aww thank you Karyn!
😢 thanks ladies- I thought for sure that you were gonna say that it doesn’t make you happy. But, you didn’t, you were honest & gosh I’m so grateful 😢
Great discussion! You are both so inspiring!
I'm not on keto but probably should. I follow you because I have three dear friends who are. They actually go to the same doctor for their chronic migraines. She suggested that they go on keto to help their migraines. It has helped but is not the cure. They have so many other health issues. Here's where I come in. I love to cook, bake and eat. I am in a position to make meals for them because they are too ill and have a hard time doing it themselves. You two help me decide on what to try and what not to try by you doing the testing out of these recipes. (You both make me laugh...in a good way.) I am so happy to subscribe to your channels. Thank you for such upbeat videos. You make my life and theirs better.
Love, love your pep talks! 🥰
You two are so beautiful inside and out!❤️
🙈🙈❤️❤️
Great insights
I was extremely thin my entire life until my 30's when I quit smoking and gained 50 lbs. I found myself constantly making jokes about my weight whenever we were with our friends. I was also very self conscious about what I was ordering in a restaurant because I would imagine the waitress or waiter thinking "no wonder you're fat the way you eat". So I would once again make jokes about myself. Over the years I lost and gained the weight but finally was able to keep it off after being on Keto. I'm now 64 and actually get told I don't qualify for the senior discount because you have to be 55. I can't begin to tell you what a good feeling that is. I think keto has many benefits besides weight loss. I think you girls also look younger than you really are 😃
I love this video! thank you for making it!
Love you guys! Keep keeping it real 👍😊
Thank you for sharing this. It is really helpful.😊
Great video ladies 😍
Thank you for this … it was very encouraging. 💜
Well said
So good, thank you so much!!!
Thanks for all the great videos. I also find your videos keep me on track. Happy holidays!
Thank you for this video ladies. I just found your channels this week and have been watching your videos. This one in particular resonates with me. I’m 65 yrs old and was put on my first diet by my parents when I was 11 yrs old and I have been battling my weight for 54 yrs. Never reaching a “healthy weight” for longer than a month and then gaining it all back plus more. I tried Atkins over the years several times with success only to go “off” and gain weight. I did Keto in 2017-2019. Lost quite a bit of weight, felt great mental clarity and got off my insulin for my Type 2 Diabetes.
But Covid hit and I returned to carbs and I’m now looking at a 75 lb. Weight gain. 🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️
Your video has made such an impact on me that I’m returning to Keto tomorrow and this time making it a permanent lifestyle and not viewing it as a diet. That I believe is crucial to finally being successful and winning this war on my over weight status.
Thank you so much Emily & Sarah for your uplifting video. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻😊
I so appreciate you two! Please keep doing this channel.
You guys are cool! Congrats! 🍾
You ladies are awesome. I look forward to your videos everyday
You both give so much hope. You are both absolutely amazing.
Thank you for your candour
Small changes over time, to me that is the key, both in mentality, looks, weight, focus, etc. You ladies have been such a contributing factor to my journey. Thanks from the bottom of my heart.
What an excellent post! I heard what you are saying and I relate I have such great inspiration from you both . I like the concept of being at home in my body . I have been re-learning foods and do utilize your videos for ideas and now inspiration . Happy holidays
Love this. I am still avoiding go places and doing things and frankly I am now old enough that if I dont do these things there will be no time left.
Thank you so much for making this video and sharing your thoughts. It helps me so much. I really appreciate you two and love both your channels.
This video is so good! It’s what I think in my head all the time! Thank you for sharing your life with us! ❤
❤️ thank you for sharing. Its about the journey, not the destination
I appreciate y'all sharing😀👍 Have a blessed weekend 💜 🙏 ✌️ 💚☃️🎄❤️
Honest and genuine thoughts. Thank you for sharing your journey. Love your channel. Your puppies 🐶 are adorable too.
Thank you for expressing what so many of us are feeling. Please keep both channels going. You inspire me with your honesty. Than you! 💕
I love you both! I love how honest and real you are. I am 57 years old, 5'10" and didn't really start fighting my weight until I had my daughter at 29 years old. When I had my two sons at 17 and 21 the weight just fell off afterwards. But that didn't happen with my daughter. The only way that I was able to get my weight down under 170 lbs was by taking pills and not only was it not healthy, it didn't last. I now have NAFLD and other health issues so have to lose the weight and I know the best way to do it is KETO. I started back in earnest a week ago and lost 8 lbs already. My goal is to lose 120 lbs and to be healthy and strong enough to be able to keep up with my grandchildren. Thank you for your channels, I follow both and watch everything. You inspire me!
Twins, Great content! I 1000% agree with this! I hava plaque that reads, "Nothing taste as good as Skinny feels"! I have lived that feeling and also believe it! Hence my reason for purchasing it. WE as a society are hyper-focused on OUR wt! We shouldn't be but we are. We cannot help it, it's all around us. That and I just don't like how I look and feel when I'm heavier. AND it was SO much easier to just do it vs the when, the what, the why, etc of NOT! Plus, that constantly worrying abt our next meal thing does seem to dissipate over time on Keto. This "dirty" Keto lifestyle has freed me up considerably with the help of CZcams vloggers such as yourselves. I literally couldn't have done it without you! SO this Thanksgiving I'm thankful for YOU! Tfs...
Blessings from Iowa, Lauri
I just love the two of you! Thanks for this enlightening insight!
❤️❤️🤗🤗
Thank you for your honesty, I love you guys!!!
🤗🤗🤗
Thanks for your honesty and frankness, it is really helpful 💗
❤️❤️❤️
Love you girls and what you have done. I am doing well with low carb / keto and always check in on you guys to see what you are up to and learn a keto recipe hack. Please at some time, cover your hydroponic garden experience on a video. I am an avid gardner and now miss the things from our garden as our land is now resting. Thanks for what you do.
Love you channel ❤
❤️❤️
We waste so much of our life waiting to lose weight. Then we will ….
My journey was a bit different I had to lose weight for my health. I didn't care so much about the look but the I'll feel better. I'm sure if I were young woman I'd say it different than the place I came from. You two are cute and you were before the weight loss. I love your silliness and your attitude towards life.
Ladies!!! I feel like you’re sharing my story with every word. Always negative about myself, worrying people are judging me, laughing and making jokes etc. I lost 100 lbs before with gastric band, but have gained it nearly all back. I’ve now lost 40 with keto and have already changed my mind set that keto and IF are my lifestyle permanently and I think that has made the difference. I’m not just obsessed about the finish line. I have know this “technically keto” lifestyle is sustainable. Thank you!! ❤
Sarah! You look so cute with the high ponytail, it gives a nice preview of you with shorter hair! I think a bob that's just a little bit longer than that length would look so great on you! You should try some bobbed wigs on to say if you like it. I know you have tons of hair though, so a bob might not "hang" right.
We like our hair.
You are both so insightful and beautiful. This is our new lifestyle and I want to continue forever. So sad that people make rude comments. Keep sharing all the insights to keep going and keep it simple. ❤
❤️❤️
You're both beautiful women but you both look simply lovely today. 😍
Awww you are too kind
Just being healthier and not being achy all over should make everyone happier. Most people don’t know that sugar and simple carbs (ie. Potatoes,pasta, bread, etc) that turn to sugar also IS WHAT MAKES YOUR JOINTS HURT!
I love you girls! I wonder if having these CZcams channels contributed to your happiness as much as losing weight did? I know what you mean, that that was like 90% of my daily thought content. I think my animals were the other ten. Here I am pushing 70 years old and it's still there. Not as bad, but not gone. I am sure it was programmed into me, but knowing that does not help. Sigh.
You ladies are so wonderful! Beautiful inside and out! I don’t comment on your videos often, only because I mainly watch them on tv and am not logged into a computer. I have struggled with my weight since I was in junior high.. I have kept about 70 pounds off for about 5 years which is the longest. Mostly doing “technically keto. About a year ago one of my very best friends passed from a brain tumor. We were each other’s accountability partners. The hurt of losing her as well as not having her support was so painful…that I fell into the SAD diet hole. I have gained about 35 pounds and say ugly things to myself everyday. Listening to you gals, I am hopeful I can restart and stay on track. I know how to do it…. I just can’t seem to stay on track this time. Somehow just sharing this, I am hoping will motivate me. I don’t expect you to respond…I really am just happy that you two are doing so well and willing to inspire and encourage us. This is just giving myself a pep talk….sorry for the rambling. Keep up the awesome work you do!
Aww thank you for sharing Marissa, so sorry about your friend. Take it one meal at a time and you’ll drop those 35 lbs faster than you gained it! ❤️❤️-Em
Yes, I am happier for the same reason as yourselves 😘.
I appreciate your videos so much! I am restarting keto…again. You are both so relatable & say the exact things that I feel. I have a question…. What do you eat on keto when you’re sick or not feeling well? It is hard when you aren’t feeling well to turn to the comfort foods you are used to… chicken noodle soup, saltines, etc.
If we aren’t feeling well we usually fast until we regain our appetite. Chicken soup with cauliflower rice is good :)
You are a wonderful inspiration! Love you videos and channel’s. Did I hear you have an eBay store? Would love to check it out! Keep up the great work!
I used to, I closed it down last year :)
