- This week has been sort of emotional, with a lot of ups and downs. I’m trying to remind myself why I decided now is the time that I follow through on losing weight.

I don't know if you actually read these. I never posted on videos I watch. But feel like I need to tell you how much you've encouraged me to loose weight. Please don't stop. We all have bad days sometimes even weeks. Keep going your doing great.
Thank you Mechelle 🙂 I read every comment, even when I can’t respond, but please know that I appreciate your support
Don’t feel pressured to ever do before and after photos that’s an extremely personal thing especially to share with thousands of people but it’s ultimately your decision just don’t feel like you have to share such personal stuff w the internet
One of your old videos popped up on my suggested page and I CANNOT BELIEVE how different you look in the thumbnails! You have come SO FAR! I am looking forward to seeing the video all about your Kansas hike one day. Plateaus, struggles, and obstacles will happen but what’s important is that you push through them, just like you’re doing now. You’ve been such an inspiration on my journey and to so many people in the world. “Just keep doing the best you can!” 💪🏼 ❤️
Your hair is beautiful. I'm envious.
Every time I lose a significant amount of weight I end up self sabotaging. Probably because my weight gives me an excuse for not being as productive, successful, fearless and confident as I should be. Also finding happiness outside of food would be such a lifestyle change and I am a creature of habit...I'm comfortable being miserable I should say. I've never seen anyone like you go from start to "finish" before, and I am rooting for you so much! It's selfish but I want you to inspire me! I have repeatedly used the loose skin thoughts to quit and regain 60lbs before and god I regret it... Now I have 200lbs to lose. You can doooo it!!! Love you!!
OMG, you brought me to tears with you wanting to conquer that trail! I love that your husband said to do it piece by piece, he sounds so sweet and you deserve to conquer it! Hang in there! I deal with the loose skin and the hanging stomach and with weight loss it can be a real downer. But we have to remember the real reasons we are losing it like walking that trail!
I’ve had to stop cheat days. It sets up something in my mind that makes me eat things I don’t reeeeeeally want. So I’m trying to indulge as a decision. Not out of weakness, or unplanned. Or as a “cheat.”
I fully get where you’re coming from today... I’ve gained a bit back (but my cheat days have turned into weeks).... and my triple chin is back... ugh!!!! Like KMN!
I wish I could reach through and hug you. I hope our journey gets better. We’ve both come so far and you’re SO strong!!
Hugs from ND
A 17 minute video that has dogs in it? Yes pls ❤️
I've been here since about 300. The difference in you from them until now is so obvious, Rosalie! Don't give up. Losing weight slowly isn't a bad thing at all. We all have our days (in my case, weeks lol) of cheating. You're absolutely beautiful and so many of us admire you 💖
I don't know anyone who does 20,000 steps a day, even my super fit gym friends! I know that's advice from your Doctor so I think you should follow it if you think it works for you. I love Josh's idea of hiking the trail. Maybe if you did a few little trips like that it would be non-scale victories and you could still come back and do the whole thing all over again when you feel you can do it! Thank you for sharing your ups and downs. It's helpful to people like me.
Sometimes I do 20 000 or even 30 000 steps/day (I did it like 2 times last year, so it doesn't count hehe), but (!) 10 000 works just fine if not better for weightloss. I've noticed weightloss stalls after the phases where I walk a lot. Our bodies need rest.
Yesssss! Do it!!! And don't get discouraged.... progress is not linear!! You got this!!!!
This was so encouraging and raw! You're doing amazing. This journey is hard, but you got this!!!
Hi, I wish I could have the chance to chat with you. I also have PCOS and I have rush a lot with my weight...like a lot!! I lost weight and the hardest part of my journey was feeling alone, like I was the only one living this crap!
Dont quit!! You lost 90 pounds!!!! And think of How much you prevented yourself on putting on...wow! Plz excuse my english, I am french.
Please let me know if you would like to chat.
I would be so happy to share experiences.
And thank you, your Channel is real! Dont quit! You are already a succes! 💜
I am so sorry you are in a funk. All I can tell you is just keep on the daily plan. You can do this and we all love you !
I'm just gonna believe that one day you will be sharing the story of your hike across America!
Pups are beauties. So proud of you. Been watching since you started! Keep it up. Only do what makes you comfortable. We watch you for you! Stay real.
I seriously love this video. Thank you for opening up because we all have these food struggles. You're not alone but you are an inspiration.
Yay for nonscale victories!! I feel you about the trying on clothes things...and well, frankly, almost all of this. I’ve been in the dumps lately. Thanks for sharing 😊
20,000? No ma’am. I’d rather do a HITT workout rather than spend 3 hrs a day just walking... but you got this. You’re doing it for you and that’s what will fuel your success.
Ugh I have no words. You’re so brave for posting that Instagram picture. You totally inspire me, I know that’s tough and takes a lot of strength. Congratulations on the non scale victory girl!! and also don’t be discouraged about whatever that scale said, I’ve gained 10lb back from losing it, we are in this together, let’s do this!!!!! 👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻
Rosalie, don't give up. I know what you're going through, I didn't fit much more comfortably in my clothes, until after panniculectomy, which took care of that loose skin problem. You are doing wonderful, keep it up. It's so exciting to see your steady transformation. Xoxo ♡ ♡ Don't give up on your dreams!!
You’re doing great! Don’t get too discouraged. I lost 140 lbs from 360 at about 5’3,” and was a size 30 and just now can get into a size 20 and still a 2X shirt from a size 4X, sometimes smaller, but the skin and way I hold most of my weight in my stomach too has prevented me from wearing smaller sizes. And I’ve been getting stressed and discouraged lastly too. We just need to keep focus on NSV and getting healthier so we can live the best non-food-related lives that we can. It just shows how strong you are! Keep it up. 90lbs will soon turn into 190lbs. 😁
Don’t beat yourself up. I lost 35 out of the 75 I wanted to lose and I have been stuck here since last July. I am still working out, eating well, and still, I am stuck. The one thing that “shook me up” was taking my measurements and buying jeans in a whole new size that I have never been in before. Keep positive. Keep moving forward. Thank you for being an inspiration. Have a wonderful night. 👩🏻
You have made it so far. It’s ok to be stuck for a bit, you’re not getting stuck for years now. Be gentle on yourself. Walking is not an easy excercise to focus on when you’re bigger and have knee problems. You can make it easier on yourself by doing an alternative exercise. You would burn more fat doing weights and strengthening your core and back first. You haven’t given up and that’s the main point. So proud of you!
I think you are AMAZING! I cant seem to get started! I love your videos!
I know you can do it Rosie! You have come a looooong way and will go so much further! look at those pictures as the motivation for going healthy! You are doing this journey the best way, which is slowly but surely, you are still young and have plenty of time to do this
One lb at a time and all a matter of when not if. 😀. 90 lbs is an incredible accomplishment. I'm in-between sizes too. I remind myself to keep making changes so I may reach my health goals. Sometimes we need a break so schedule them in. Enjoy a meal other than salad. Schedule it in to fit your calories for the week. No guilt, enjoy and keep working at it.
Again I would like to thank you for your video. You are so nice and beautiful and you inspire me very much. I feel your struggle and pain and I think you are so strong to keep going when you are feeling down. Thank you!
Please pay no mind to what people do on the internet. You are putting yourself out there and you are vulnerable. But you are so brave and you are doing so good! You are inspiring to others and you are working hard every day.
So sorry to hear about the condition of your knees. I am 60, overweight (have lost 75+ lbs.) and have terrible knees as well. I like your ambition of wanting to walk that 6300 mile trail and love that you hubby has given you a solution for some of the Kansas portions of the trail (so sweet and thoughtful). I basically ruined my knees with multiple falls (down the stairs, off the bed on to the knee, just by walking, etc.) and then arthritis has set in for the duration. However, I have been drinking chicken broth with collagen mixed in and have seen (felt) a big improvement in my knees. I know that this is not a cure-all but it is helping me to walk longer distances than a year ago ... along with the weight loss too. As I know that the arthritis is not going to go away and will probably get much worse over time I am longing to walk longer distances too. Just wanted to encourage you in your endeavor of a very ambitious hiking trip and say that I know you will eventually GET IT DONE! I know this because I have seen the 'fight' in the precious lady on my screen. Keep your dreams alive and don't quit! Much love and admiration!
You aren't alone in the fit issues! I have lost all my week up top and not very much at all from my belly. I have small legs and hips but a big belly. Sigh .....so I feel ya! But keto on. It will happen. After all, it may take a while, but I can promise you it won't if you quit!
When I first started my weight loss journey in Jan of 2017 I listened to the audiobook of Wild by Cheryl strayed. I would HIGHLY recommend reading or listening to that book. The whole time I was listening I would go for walks outside (Jan in Illinois sucks lol) but I told myself if she could hike the whole pacific crest trail by herself then I could walk a mile that day. Anyway it lit a fire in me that I’m so thankful for. With that being said take it easy on your knees but believe in the process and believe in yourself. We are incredible beings and are so very capable even if we don’t feel it.
I definitely prefer Torrid to Catherine’s. I’ve had luck with Old Navy jeans. Sizing...even within one brand..sucks. I keep gaining and losing the same 5 lbs. 😔 I get get past this funk I am. 💜 hugs to you
A day soon will come that you will feel absolutely motivated to go ham on your weightloss again :) your talk of that Hike made me really emotional, and while you're not where you want to be now, I truly believe you definitely will be. You have accomplished so much already; You've got this!
The fact that you've stuck with it this long shows that your in it for the long haul. YOU ARE GOING TO DO THIS!!! And you're inspiring me to do the same! Thankyou for sharing your story. I don't think you'll ever realize what an inspiration you are!
You have encouraged me on my journey so much you have no idea. Every time in the last year I would start and then quit, start and quit again, and every time I would come back to see you were still going on, and I cannot even begin to describe how much that would be a motivation for me. You have lost around 90 pounds. Do NOT underestimate that. You haven't been this light since YEARS. Do NOT forget that. You still got it. You are gonna do it. You are going to go on that hike, and you will be PROUD of yourself for never quitting when you do. You got it
Hi hi, sounds like you're having 'real life', no worries, spring is coming thank goodness, and 90 isn't too shabby. What you do is put the cover of that magazine on the fridge! A fantastic motivator. Five lbs each of March-Aug and you'll be down 30 more lbs. Ready for a kind-to-knees hike #1.
doing low carb/keto will be great bc it helps a lot with belly fat. I have the hanging belly too & after losing 42lbs its barely there. you have done so good this past year ! you help keep me motivated. hope you keep going
This was so powerful. I know you will reach your goals.
Dont give up mate... I am right there with you. I have those exact same feelings about you know wanting to lose weight not only to be healthier but clothes. I love clothes shopping and I have a wedding to go to and I want to wear something very nice and I'm going to try within the next 3 months to get down to a 22 or 20 size.
You are speaking my language from this week. I had to buy my first cane because of my knees. I'm so stressed and am determined to make a new start being more determined also. We can do this!
i'm almost at my one yr mark (March 10th) i lost weight so easily at first but since i got into the 200's i bounce from 295 - 279 every month im stuck it's so frustrating, and even though my clothes are loose they still fit i can't go down a size yet, so after 70lbs and almost a yr i basically look exactly the same as when i started. i wont give up, but im definitely struggling
Oh Honey, I'm feeling for you so much. Keep your chin up and hang in there, and you'll get your determination back. It will. I feel your pain and struggle because I've been there. To tell you the truth, I have Rheumatoid Arth. and my feet are so eroded, My Rheumy advised me to not walk on my feet for anymore than 10 min. for exercise, so yes, I do know what you're saying. The best we can do is our best. Though big or small, we can do it.
Honestly look at your first video and now and see what a difference!! Please don't stop you doing unbelievably great !
About skin... I met few people who lost half of their weight and they all had that worry about skin and all of them said that this stopped them for a few month on their journey but now they say loosing weight is the best thing they ever done because you can do a surgery after, some of them didn't and still feeling good as they can do what they couldn't do 2/3 years ago !!
Make that walk not ,, someday,, but use it as a real goal almost tribute to your grandparents! This is an excellent motivation!!!
My motivation to loose 2 st is my bests friend wedding in Italy and the bridesmaids dress is creamy colour ( I nearly killed her ) 😂
Hi,just wanted to say congratulations on the 90 pound weight loss, I know how it feels to wonder if I'm gonna fit in booth so I'm sure it has to feel awesome not to be scared or wondering if you should ask for the table, I wish u only the best in your weight loss journey! !
You have stuck with this for over a year which is amazing. Most people couldn't do that. Try to focus on what you have achieved already rather than what is to come. The main thing is you seem to be a lovely person and that's the biggest achievement. I think you will get back on track, you are doing great.
This video seriously touched my heart. Thank you for your openness and for sharing this journey with us. You have inspired me to start my own weight loss journey! Please know that I am rooting for you and hope you have the success you so richly deserve!
I grew up in a split level and I assumed back in the 80's everyone had a split level house, lol!
I've been watching since you started your channel, and I love how real you are, not sugarcoating or disappearing when the going gets rough. This one so spoke to me. I've been stalled in the same spot for almost two years, and recently have gained about eight pounds back that I just can't get back off. So many times I've considered just giving up and eating whatever I want, because what's the point. Time for me to find a new focus, too...
Praying for you
In December of 2011 I joined Weight Watchers and I was 100 pounds overweight, so I can totally relate to all your struggles. I'd like to say it gets easier when you reach your goal, but it doesn't. Motivation is cyclical, so a lot of times you just have to make yourself do it. You're doing great. The most important thing is to not give up and having non-scale goals is a great way to motivate yourself.
I'm watching for the second time today. I understand it...the apron belly, the booths, the clothes and all the things that go along with being this size. Hang on...Hang in there and thanks for putting yourself out there for us all.
You’re awesome...... amazing...... wonderful!!! I love your channel and your honesty. You have feelings I have sometimes. You’ll get yourself back in a positive mindset before you know it! 💕
Persistent physical issues are so disheartening---I so admire you how you haven't given up. Stay strong, you can do this---we're all rooting for you!
Hope you get to walk your trail one day. I was told I have the knees of an 80 year old when I turned 23 😩. I was training for a 5k but that didn’t quite happen. Walking though, totally doable. I’m sure you have your go-tos, but arnica and epsom salt give me the most relief when my knees act up.
Your amazing, I've been through the same struggles. You'll get there keep going strong!
Hi Rosalie! I just wanted to encourage you a little and let you know that because of your inspiring journey, I have decided to start my own weight loss journey (again). I know that from watching you do it, I can lose weight through eating a healthy diet. Keep on keeping on!
I’ve been having problems getting motivated in my weight loss lately. I’ve been letting things slide more and more. I’m about 90 pounds down too, and it’s hard to stay motivated. But we just have to keep going because one day we will get to our goals. Don’t give up on hiking that trail because you can do it one day.
YOU, my love, continue to inspire me each and every day! Thank you for being so honest and vulnerable. You are helping so many other people in this world, including me! With LOADS OF LOVE from Seattle :)
I've written to you already about the belly and about the booth over other platforms, lol. So.. here I'll just say, those dogs are a beauty and I wish I could go on that trail myself, but being on another continent, I guess I will content myself with being happy seeing you go, even just on a portion of it, someday :)
Hey Rosalie :) I’ve followed you from the very start, just wanted to say how inspirational you are and how you help keep so many people going, it’s so easy to just post the ‘good stuff’ but what’s more helpful is the whole story so thank you for sharing it. I have always struggled with my knees but not to the extent you have, I’ve found swimming helps me out and always makes me feel better afterwards. Love from the U.K.!!! Xxx 💕
You remind me every time not to give up. I have goals too. I hope you keep believing in yourself. I believe in both of us.
Hey~ I just wanted to say that you have really encourage and inspired me to take action on losing weight. You've come so far and even thought you have small or big bumps along the road you still keep going. I usually tend to stop trying to lose weight and just give up, but knowing that you haven't ,and won't, has made me think that this time, when I start my weight loss journey again, we'll be doing it "together" (at the same time). So yeah. I hope you don't lose that awesome perseverance you have in yourself and that one day you'll be able to hike that trail of your dream! I BELIEVE IN YOU!!! Lots of love and support ❤❤❤
I’ve had a rough few weeks mentally and following my weight loss plan has been challenging. My only suggestion is to keep going don’t give up no matter how you’re feeling or how many cheat days or weeks have occurred.💛
A really beautiful reason. Love
It!
That hike/walk sounds like a super awesome challenge, I'll walk through Colorado with you! Maybe you could keep track of the milage you're walking now and see how long it takes to walk the distance of that trail, might be fun! Track it on a little map of your own and see how far you've gone! You got this Rosali, you have done so great and you will continue to do great. Be kind to yourself, love yourself and take care of yourself.
You are so open an honest. You share more of your life and struggles than most people would. I know you inspire so many people out there.
You are pushing the 100lbs down mark!!! Get excited!!!
Keep trying that 10,000 steps goal. Maybe do some upper body weight training. You can do it sitting. Bicep curls and tricep extensions will help with the saggy arms.
I’m totally looking up that hiking trail. I have dreamed of doing the Appalachian train one day. We all have a bucket list. Maybe we should all have a big whiteboard of collage on the wall for our bucket list so we keep on track.
Good luck. Thanks for sharing.
I hear you about clothes especially jeans I have he same shape problem 😢😢😢😢 don’t give up hun you have done amazing xoxo
Keep going you doing great
Please stay strong. It is hard and look how far you have come. 90 pounds down!!
Wow, that trail sounds amazing. I hadn't heard of it before. Thanks.
The doggos are so cute! Keep up the positivity! Look forward to following your journey!
Love your honesty. You are a great inspiration. Keep it up. I want to hear more about your journey, your life and your goals. You can and will do more than you have ever imagined.
The last part of this video really struck a chord with me. For the past year I have been dreaming about thru-hiking the Appalachian Trail (or any trail for that matter). It's one of my life dreams, but due to being overweight and having various other medical issues I'm not sure if that will ever happen. I live in NE Kansas and would love to start hiking, so hit me up if you ever need a hiking partner! :D Also, next time you're in Wichita you should check out the Great Plains Nature Center - they have some beautiful short/easy trails plus lots of wildlife
P.S. the weather here has been pretty crappy over the past week, and has made my joints feel extra achy and sore, so hoping that is all that's going on with your knees and you start feeling better this week!
I feel your struggles and frustration and pain. I've been losing weight for two years, and it's definitely not all sunshine and light and setback free. I've been fortunate enough to escape major joint damage, but the weird proportions and skin are just dreadful. Virtual hugs from Pennsylvania!
Every time I go eat, I think humm, maybe I should get a table.. Then remember I have lost 70 pounds and either booth or table is fine. It's a wonderful feeling! You have to remember that right now you have loose fat and as you lose more and more fat some of that skin will tighten up. Don't be ashamed of your body, think of it as a battle scar as you are fighting for a healthier life!
I loved this video and I can relate 1000% with everything you talked about. You are such a beautiful person, inside and out and I am so glad I found you on here!! ❤️
You are SO pretty!!! Panties are one of my big problems...my belly hangs out my leg holes!!!
I tend to wear mine under my belly 😓
I found some stretchy men's underwear for my Jerry...and they didn't have a fly...and he did NOT like that...I had NEVER seen men's underwear without a fly before!!! Anyway, they are kinda like shorts with short little legs...and they fit me really well!!! But they are sure, not pretty...but oh well!! But I tried to order me some more and they do not make them anymore!!! And I NEVER thought about putting them under my belly...thank you!!!
Never give up on your dreams, you can do this and are an inspiration to others!
I am so glad that you shared this with us. I hope that you do get to hike your trail even if it is only piece by piece. I am hoping to achieve some hiking dreams too!
Love all of your videos and watching your progress. You've been so encouraging and motivating. 😊💚
Please don't give up, because you can keep going I know you can! Everyone hits a wall. Meditation can be good.
You have such a strong spirit! You will get there!
Thanks for sharing. Inspiring topic for a bucket list item. Take care Rosalie ❤️you've come so far, just pick up where ya left off😊
Don't give up !!!!You can do it !
I feel u so much on this. Don't give up though. It will be so worth it
I relate so much. My dream is to hike the appalachian trail, but I worry I won't be fit enough to do it. Keep going, girl! We'll both get there some day!
CZcams automatic caprions recognized the squeaky chair in the beginning as music 😂😂😂
Thinspo is awesome and really motivating, once you find an aesthetic that you like
Rosalee if you don't own a Fitbit check them out. Fitbits count your daily steps and encourages you to walk throughout the day.
Keep your head up! You’re going to lose it as long as you stay committed. I’m still working on the commitment part. As to clothes, take someone who you trust and will motivate you. You likely are being too critical of yourself or are too caught up in how other people might see you. Good luck and remember you can get there!
Your hair is sooo pretty!
Stay strong you can do it !
Don't give up on your dream!
I've had zero self control today, and I'm feeling really down. But I appreciate your videos. I hope I can move on from my failures today and really focus on making tomorrow better. Thank you for inspiring me.
Love this!
I would love to hear the story behind your knees. This is the real stuff of weight loss and I thank you so so so much for sharing your story.
rewatching your videos from time to time; how fun, my dad got a dog a few months after this video was posted and it's a wirehaired pointer, so he looks very similar to the shorthaired pointers your parents have :) especially the fur colours
Your hair looks great!!!
