Great advice and motivation. The thumbs downs are from ppl blinded by your beauty and hit the wrong button by accident! I’m on day 4 but I’ll write out my list/board.
😢😥😥😥😥 OMG. You make me feel so sad and angry with myself. I have months thinking off change my bad habits and get healthier. But every day I just do nothing and that is so painful.
1. Exercise on the elliptical for an hour and a half (for two months) 2. When it stopped working, started the treadmill. 3. She recommends making a vision board, where you detail how you will lose the set amount of pounds you want to lose In her vision board, the 5 main things were (1) eating healthy: oats, veggies, eggs, protein shakes, fruits Lunch: salad, veggies, fish, chicken, stir-fry Dinner: quinoa, veggies, chicken Snacks, hummus, vegetables, she ate so much fruit for snacks (grapes, oranges, apples) (2) Exercise: workout (she worked out every single day: she did an hour minimum) (3) Motivation: think about the reason, why you started (her motivation was clothing) (4) Drink water (don't have soda, pop, juice, "do not have any liquids other than water") 4. She wrote down her weekly weigh-in 5. Plan what you are going to eat exactly for the week, and your workouts "Growth is painful, change is painful, but nothing is as painful as being stuck somewhere you do not belong"
The only person you should lose weight for is your self. Started the year at 320 now in at 254. Its a tough journey! But once we get in the right mind set than anything's possible. Congrats to you! I still have a ways to go but I'll get there!
@@AlieshiaTV I drink a glass of water BEFORE and AFTER a meal. That way you're half way full, so u won't eat as much food. Even if u eat 2nds still drink water.
So: long periods on the elliptical, clean food, water, & lots of fruit, especially apples. Vision board to keep yourself motivated, and finding enjoyment in new clothing instead of food.
I am way over weight like 100 lbs and I can say you don't need support to lose weight. You need to focus on yourself. Love yourself and do it only for yourself. She mentioned that. Don't worry what other people think or say.
The best way to loose weight is to eat all of your daily calories at dinner, and just drink beverages throughout the day for social events, or herbal tonics if you're working. weight deleter . com has some useful tools if you want to stay motivated.
I hate it when strangers thought I have like 3 kids because I am fat like I am just 19 yrs. old. I know it is not their fault but it still hurts. Thank you for sharing your story. You look gorgeous.
I really like this video because it shows that you can lose weight without a bunch of fancy meal plans or workout schedules from a trainer. Any lay person can lose the weight. Where there's a will, there's a way.
I've lost 76 pounds before too and what i did when i felt hungry even tho i consumed enough nutrition was eating apples with drinking lots of water. It made me feel full all the time and believe me i did not feel full easily back then C:
3 apples a day is not insane.... 😂😂😂😂 eating 12 or more maybe is insane... but if I can eat a bag of takis then I can eat 3 or 5 apples a day! Thanks for your words.
Family members can say hurtful things to someone big without even realizing it. It's hurtful. This is my story.I broke my silence and told them they were hurting me and didn't care if i looked weak and after i felt in a better space to work on my weight loss journey. And never do any revenge body for someone..do it for you! People should learn to be more respectful how they bring across such sensitive messages of weight gain. Much love guys.
I was 127 in high school but gained weight after being prescribed medication for my anxiety. I’m now 198 pounds and 5’4 and I’m determined to get back to my old weight I was at 7-5 years ago. Glad you accomplished your weight lost 😊.
I am struggling so much to lose weight it has made me cry so much lately. I am 185 lbs and only 20 years old. this video really motivated me!! thank youu
Valentina Sanchez girlll same!! I weigh 185 as well!! I’m 22 years old 5’4. I have a 14 month old && i’ve gained 40 lbs within a year. I’ve been so depressed about it but i’ve been going to the gym so hopefully i start losing this weight!! Good luck to you🤞🏽🤞🏽
Omg I'm 21 & 5'3. Beginning of this year I was 187. I gained 40+ within a year as well. & I'm trying to lose weight once again!!! I'm currently at 166. I weighed myself this morning
I saw your posts on instagram but didn't bother to check out the video you posted. The moment you started talking I could feel the struggle and pain you had to go through to get here. Throughout the video your voice held the pain you felt for all the criticism you took in the past. This might only be you talking about your journey to here but this is very brave and amazing. You didn't even need to post a workout video and you conveyed the message brilliantly. I loved it and you should keep loving yourself, you're a great person.
Omg we have very similar stories: I started 185, being called FAT from family members that comes from a very blunt culture, long black hair, love fashion but hated how clothes looked on me, etc. I'm currently 171 now and I really want to keep going. I didn't tell anyone about my journey, I'd rather want them to ask me if I lost weight so I know it's for sure.
When u crave something ask ur self "is that craving that u started having few mins back more important than the wish to loose weight? Which one will give u permanent happiness? "
I know this video was posted 2 years ago but I’m so happy this was recommended to me by YT. Thank youuu!! This is beautiful! I need to lose 60lbs as I am considered obese now too. I’m tired of it 💔
This is the most honest and simple fat loss advice story I have seen. For the past 3 to 4 years now I have been struggling to exercise regularly and eat healthy food. I act on it, don't even last for a month and then I crash. I am gonna try again it once again and I hope to stick on the plan and lose the fat.
Girl I’m on the same boat. I have been thin my whole entire life but once I hit 40 after having two kids I am struggling to lose weight. I am about 5’6 (44 years old) and I am heavier than I was with each of my pregnancies. I am 194 lbs 😳My weight before I had my first child was 131. I never really ate healthy and never worked out and I was always very thin eating what I wanted to eat. Now the only thing keeping me from losing weight is my sweet tooth, especially ice cream LOL. When I saw the scale a few months ago and saw that I was in the one 190s I said I need to do something about it. I joined a gym three weeks ago, and for the last two weeks I’ve been going 5 days a wk and trying to eat healthier. We’ll see what happens
Kristen Calfee Kristen Calfee OMG I love both your channels!! I found Hamna and then yours came up as a suggestion! You both have played a role in changing my mindset. I play y'all's videos as am going to and leaving the gym!!
I became sick and tired with trying diets try to failed. But finally I ran across eating healthily that work well TRUTH. We are rapidly reducing your weight which has a quick weight loss diet. I lost 20 pounds i continue to shed pounds fast. The dietary plan I'm next ness site here tinyurl.com/twoweekdiet76
I am 5'0 and weight 175 lb ... I just started working out and its honestly so hard but its not impossible. Working out it's hard but being over weight it's also hard. Choose your hard. 💪🏽❤
Ugh I'm 5'0 as well, I'm at 180 lbs. I used to be 150, I was content with that. I ended up changing my birth control method to Nexplanon. BIGGEST MISTAKE of my life. In the 8months I had it, I had rapid weight gain besides all the symptoms SMFH. When I took it out I was 205! Never been that big in my life. So I'm trying this water fast see how it goes. Luck to yall
I had to stop the video and just say that I am currently weighing 185lbs and am 5’5.. I completely relate to how you felt when you were at that weight. If you can do it , so can I. Thank you sooo much for posting this video, I’m super motivated to lose this weight. I am going to comment back in a few months and say I did it too!!! ❤️ BTW I just came across your video today, much needed!
I love your comment about not needing a gym! I think this is so important for people to know because sometimes we convince ourselves that if we can’t pay for a gym membership we won’t be able to lose weight. You’re right, with so many apps and social media posts with exercises you can do at home/in your room, no need for gym! If people don’t have a treadmill/eliptical then take 45-60 min walks! I was exactly at the same weight you are. I’m starting on my weight loss journey and have lost 7 lbs this far but have a long way to go! Thanks for your video, so helpful and inspiring!!
My goal is 135 and I’m 177 you have inspired me so much this is the best one so far the way you brought out the vision board... 👍🏽 well done. IM GOING TO LOSE THIS WEIGHT!!
I feel you, everything you've stated i went through it too. Its almost 2 months since i'm on my weight loss journey and i lost 9 kg. Today i was feeling a little demotivated cause i'm not losing as fast as i did in the first month but youtube recommended me your video, i'm so happy for that. Love yourselves guys and if you want to lose weight do it for yourself and not because someone else is telling you to. People always told me lose weight and the way they would say it was hurtful and this caused me to try losing but after a day or week i would give up and binge on eating cause i was very unhappy, sad and hated myself(the way i looked) but yet i wasn't doing anything to lose weight so that was making me even more angry and sad. But since the past 2 months i've become super health concious bc of some health issues and started eating healthy and working out. I used to hate shopping and make up bc i always thought that no matter what i'll be ugly and fat so why dress up and put on make up that'll do nothing that's how unconfident i was. The key for me was to start loving myself( i'm not there yet but slowly slowy i'm started to love myself) and that made me start taking care of myself, my body and concious of what i put inside my body. I eat lots of fruits, veggies, beans and drink only water. My goal is to be healthy! Goodluck to all who are also on this journey, you guys can do it!
Hi Hamna! Fellow Toronto brown girl here that wanted to let you know your videos have helped me so much. Since I started watching your videos I have lost 33 lbs and maintained it for 6 months! I recently gained a little bit back and needed some motivation so I came back to your videos and I’m reminded of how much you inspired me. Thank you so much and please keep your videos coming! You’re so passionate and genuine and have such a positive kind soul. I really love your videos and personality, always so excited to binge watch your videos :)
I have recently started my weight loss journey and have lost 10 lbs in 3 weeks. I'm currently at 183 lbs and got stuck on it for this past week, but watching your video has motivated me to keep going!
Absolutely loved every bit of your video. You were so honest and open and realistic. You were beautiful before but being happy and healthy will give you a different glow. Thank you for sharing.
What process of fasting are you doing? Are you doing like 24 hours twice a week or doing a 16/8? I’m trying this right now and don’t know which path to take
@@Noname-tg2mo Im also doing intermittent fasting (8/16), I started two weeks ago, I'm 16 pounds less. And all that was without exercise. This week I'm going to start doing exercises and see how it goes. I was 200lb currently 184lb.
This video hit home for me. Before my 21st birthday I decided that by 21 I’d be in the best shape of my life. I did it to show an ex what she gave up and it worked for me to an extent, once I did it for myself it changed my life. I got down to 179lbs from 215lbs. Fast forward 5 years and I’m married. I hit my heaviest weight ever of 251lbs last year and just recently decided that I have to do something. It’s so hard to get back the motivation that I once took for granted. I’m down 12 pounds so far and my wife is exercising and dieting with me. I feel amazing but your video definitely motivated me to talk myself out of eating junk when I have a craving. It can be difficult to pass up snacks when everyone around you eats them and can stay skinny but just know that they don’t go home and eat the same garbage you’ve been eating for 5 years. Get up. Get out. Get fit!
Wow! I really love your story and how truly vulnerable and honest you are in sharing this. I’m a hypnotherapist and I can tell you that real, lasting change can only come from within. We don’t really change for ourselves and by our own motivation. You are beautiful inside and out!
I realized that Everyone’s journey is different. I had to Figure out what was good for me. I was a private emotional eater, and I realize that my decision was for me alone. In my personal process I motivated others just by them observing my weightloss. I only share with people who asked and I know are genuinely concerned about their own health. I am currently down 40lbs. Everything you said in this video I equally agree with. Thank you so much for sharing your journey. It motivated me to keep going💋❤️😇
I lost over 85lbs doing the keto diet and biking. I lost some muscle mass, but it is okay, I know usually guys like myself want big arms, but I think I'm done with that life. Getting those nice big arms are not all that, because once you let it go only for like a day, it then turns into a huge struggle, HOWEVER, my calisthenics improved, I can do pull-ups, abs, push-ups, and all kinds of self body weights now and now I have a sculpted lean muscle mass on me and my clothes are just better fitted on me now and all that extra weight is off my back and knee joints. Life got better at a lower weight and with lean muscle. I'm not ever gonna go back to the hulky-muscle/fat bod.
You are beautiful before and after! Beauty is within & the scale can’t justify that. But congratulations 🎊 on your fitness improvements 💪🏼! I went thru the same. I lost 60 lbs and it went great!! Then.... my body rebelled how I was treating it. Too much exercising and low cals... did I lose the weight? Yea.. but I’m dealing with other things now. I lost my period, my hunger cues are all messed up (I was macro tracking & intermittent fasting) and have days of extreme hunger. Ahhhh... it’s so hard to deal with & nobody tells you the cons & bumps in the road with weight loss
I'm 5'4 and 150 pounds and been trying to diet for months now on and off. Out of all these CZcams videos about weight lost this one seriously motivated my soul. Thank you so much. This made me realize that I seriously want to reach my goal.
I’m the heaviest I’ve ever been in my life. I’m 28 years old and I’m 160lbs😔 I would never go past 133-137lbs. Been married for a year now and although I’m supposed to be the happiest I’ve been with my hubby, this extra weight depresses me and brings me down. You’re story was very inspirational. Thank yo for sharing darling💕
Im currently 212 but have lost 27 pounds so far. Ive been doing keto for 2 months now and it works for me. I cant wait to be 160. still got a long way to go but im so excited!
I was in the same boat as you at 215lbs when I started my weight loss journey back in January. I have lost 65lbs and only 10 more until I reach my goal so it can be done. You will get there!!!! Good luck!!
Same here! I was 213 and have so far lost 23lbs since August. I didn’t have a goal weight in the beginning. I just started Keto to kick my sugar addiction before I even thought about how much to lose because my addiction was terrible. Now that I’m down to 190, I think want to go down about 45lbs more. At the moment, I’m just glad I’ve gotten to a point where I don’t need the sweets anymore. I went from eating a pint of ice cream in one sitting to barely being able to finish an ice cream cone. I just need to incorporate more exercise.
I have a hard time watching videos of other women talking about their weight loss but I really enjoyed your demeanor, how candid you were and how you got straight to the point without rambling, product placement or advocating some harsh diet or supplement. That quote you shared was great :) I'm also 5'5" and started at 186.6. I've started losing weight twice and ended up back at that same weight. I'm on my third go and have lost 8lbs so far. This time I want the change to be permanent. I really enjoy bike riding and jump rope, I'm also doing some calisthenics and light weight lifting to try and minimize loose skin issues later. Thank you for sharing your success, it's really inspiring.
How have I JUST come across your channel?! You’re so relatable. Growing up in a Pakistani household with curry/takeout everyday, fizzy drinks and desi desserts is the worst 😂 I’m currently 179 lbs and I’m trying to lose around 40 lbs. Your video was so much help! Thankyou, currently binging on all your vids
I’ve tried this and it works!!! I could tell the difference in my face got slimmer and I enjoyed the food you mention on here. I felt energized and happy. I fell off the wagon though due to some family hardships but I’m getting back on again! And can’t wait to continue this time.
Very inspiring to see how you lost the weight within a short amount of time. I've lost and gained weight my whole life, best thing I learned is to find an exercise you really love to do.
If you slice an apple, put the pieces in water, add salt to the water, mix for just a second, and rinse, you can have apple slices that won’t oxidize so you can eat them later.
I started on Feb 1st 2020 and I’m half way to my goal weight of 150lbs. I’ve lost 35 and I have another 35 to go! I’m 5’8” so I think 150lbs is a good weight for me.
I came to this video after my group of friends called me a whale. I love them with all my heart and I thought living with that comments has been my daily but yesterday words had affected me so much. I am 75kg and 5'4 now, and I always unhappy with how I look and watching this video made me relate so much to you. I have pledged myself that whatever happens, I NEED to lose weight. Not for my friends, but for my happiness.. In sometimes in the future, I hope I can go back to this comment again and think that yeah, I made it. English isnt my first language but I really want to tell you that you have motivated me so much to take a step forward and now its my turn to make changes to my own life.💜
I was insulted by my friend who’s a boy. It hurt me soooo bad. I know your pain :-(( bby those ppl are so mean. I would consider distancing yourself from them if they say such hurtful things to you :-(((
I love that this isn't overcomplicated like some youtubers will advertise all this equipment and specialised food and gym memberships... so straight to the point !
1GoldenBreeze you're right I started at 278 its slowly chopping away. As a man I feel like I dont want to get no smaller than 183 but its definitely a goal.
@@hamna.gilani if you really want to lose weight all you need to do is don't eat junk food ever again avoid sugar and soda and use a very small spoon to eat your food and before drink a tea or water and then eat. You will be happily surprised.
i feel like i’m literally looking in a mirror. i was 155-160 throughout highschool and now i’m 19 and i’m 190. i need to change and you’re my inspiration!!
Im only 14 and i weigh around 160lbs which is overweight, i gained all the extra weight after i started my period and i understand what you’re coming from when you talked about Pakistani’s since i am too. I’ve been trying to lose weight for a year or two now but I’ve only now gained ENOUGH motivation to actually stop myself from eating junk and to workout everyday, hoping i can lose around 40 pounds or get to a healthy weight by the summer (at least weigh around 115-120). I’m thinking that i might make a vision board too since i think that will motivate me moreee. Thank you so much for this video it really has motivated me more.
I’ve lost 35lbs/16kg so far and I’m still continuing my weight loss journey. I relate so much to the family thing where people really criticise the way you look like.
Hamna, You are truly honest with your journey. You vlogged with sincerity and so I know it is doable. The most important thing is your wanting to lose weight- that is your motivation. For me at 95 kgs, I don't care about my weight anymore. Relatives have been tough on me but I tell them I love being fat and that is the truth.
Hey can you make a recipe video of the fish, chicken and veggies you ate? That would be great! And to be very honest with you, you looked super cute when you were chubby! But now you look like a freaking supermodel!! Really inspiring video!
Living in a pakistani household one of my biggest challenges is trying to get the support from my parents. If I want to eat less, dont feel hungry, or want to eat healthier they always question everything and then start to comment. And the food that gets prepared at home isnt the healthiest either . So I feel like I get stuck between a rock and a hard place.
I'm starting my weight loss journey in this new year. My cousin is getting married this Spring and I'm one of the bridesmaids. I want to look my best and I'm at my heaviest 190 and hoping to lose 70 lbs in 5 months like you Hamna! I found this video super helpful. Thanks and Congrats!
this video was so inspirational, and I am in the same shoes as you were when you started. Currently 200 lbs and have a family wedding in the summer. I tired of the rude comments from family members and just family friends. I know I want to do this for myself and seeing this video just inspired me to try harder. Thanks girl !
Thank you sooo much for this video! I pray that I can make the same change! I am 5"2 193lbs. I know I can do it! I will push myself! I will do this for myself more than anything!
For anyone watching and seeing this commment. Actually.. you need to lift. It helps build muscle which burns calories. Maybe not in the beginning. But also doing an hour of cardio you’re just going to have to keep doing that or increasing. Also you shouldn’t work out every day (especially when lifting). You need a rest day. If you don’t rest your body can’t do what it needs to do. But healthy eating is like 80% of losing weight. I am proof that if you just exercise but don’t eat the best you will gain weight. This is all personal story from me. I learned how to do iifym from CZcams. And i watch Whitney Simmons for lifting workouts. My body fat is now 24.3 (not sure what it was at the start) from dexa. that is ideal apparently but I still need to build more muscle so I can try to get down to about 20%. :)
This is so true. I cant afford to go to the gym right now, but I use my body weight/hiit cardio & dumbells by doing squats with them etc. I see such a big difference faster compare to jogging! And I feel more stronger and toner. Though eating good also helps, because I took advantage of that lols, so I noticed and had to start all over again!
Lifting weights has always been the fastest way for me to lose weight, with healthy eating of course. I'll do kettlebell swings, followed by a lower body exercise like squats, followed by an upper body exercise like chest presses. I'll do 6 to 7 trios like this using different lower and upper body exercises with very little rest between sets so it's aerobic. Moderately heavy weights with moderately high reps.
so it’s also gonna be effective if for example you’re gonna do exercises 5x a week (3-5 sets and 8-12 reps) and do cardio of half an hour 1x a week and 1 day rest plus healthy eating? right? instead of treadmill all of this?
hmm very valid point with the gym membership. Just because someone isn't into that gains life doesn't mean they don't have to take care of themselves. Gym-goer or not you should eat properly and be healthy.
When you’re trying to reach a goal, tell yourself over and over that there is no other option until you believe it. When you feel like cheating, think about what your future will look like if you continue your habits. Stop telling yourself “I’ll start next week” or “It was a rough day, I deserve ____.” I promise you’ll always find an excuse. Be truly honest with yourself about when you deserve a break. You can do anything, but you will never be successful without the right mindset and motivation. It might take a while to find that, but it’s the only key to reaching your goals.
I weigh 158 right now & I’m 5’6. My goal weight is 125, and I’m currently a full time student. I want this for myself so bad and you have really inspired me to start this journey for myself in 2019. I hope to lose this chunk of weight in the same amount of time you did. I also have started my own vision board! I know this is going to be so hard to get into but I want to do this for myself! Thanks for the inspiration❤️
Its taken me 8 months to lose 20 pounds.. It's a slow process for me, because I'm trying to be super gradual, but this motivated me to speed up the process a bit.
Be patient, slow and steady, you'll get there, remember u did'nt gain the wt. overnight, so therefore ur not going to lose it overnight and don't become a slave to the scale, good luck in ur endeavor
A few years ago when I was a teen, I lost 35-40 pounds in about 6 -8 months using an elliptical and healthy eating. Then college happened and gained all of it again without even knowing and also having PCOS so, here I am after 10 years , 183 pounds , starting a weight loss journey again. Your vid is really motivational and you look great!! Thanks for sharing your story.
My motivation was Shopping too!!! I just hated looking at myself when I went to try on something cute but it never fits the way I wanted it to. So I started my strict diet again. For me is really really hard to lose weight after having a baby. Its already been 3 years and I'm still very overweight!! I was 200 pounds and it was so hard to even stand long, I would have feet pain!! So yeah it took me 3 or 4 years to lose all that weight!. My goals is to be 115 again.
I want to join the U.S. Air Force but I need to lose 15 pounds to meet the weight requirement. It breaks me heart to feel stuck. Last year I managed to drop 40 pounds in 3 months by cutting carbs. However, I'm trying to lose more weight now and I can't stay consistent and seem to have no motivation. I truly want to be in the military because it'll help with my career and help me be on my own. If I don't lose the weight I'll be stuck at my dead end job living with my parents lol. I'm only 20 but I'm so ambitious. I swear I'm gonna get my shit together. Thank you for the tips and encouragement!!😭❤
Omg how do you know my story?!! I was 183 & 19 years old too when I realized I needed to lose it! And my bro was getting married which motivated me. Pakistani here and the goal sheet all the way!! Proud of you!! Stay blessed
I am going through same, after pregnancy. It’s gonna be almost 1 year postpartum n my husband always point out me n not happy with me , 😞 Watching your video is helpful for me n encouraging
No offence, but he should love u for Ur personality, looks fade but personality doesn't, when Ur both old there won't be no good looks but if u love each others personality u can still enjoy those good convos😁 dw about him I know it can be discouraging cuz my family do the same to me, but just focus on making yourself happy not him, point out to him looks don't last (plus men tend to loose their elasticity when they get into their 50s/60 so get saggy chins and bigger bellies as metabolism slows down, plus their hairlines recede soo he may end up being bigger too🤷♀️)
Melanie Jade jogging (a little), dancing (a lot!) and intermittent fasting! water before and after every meal, and light exercise in my free time and while i’m watching tv. good luck girly!
Currently losing my Christmas weight and trying to get back on track with weight loss, in the past few months I’ve gone from 193 to 163, it’s hard but you have pushed me to keep going 💪🏻 I don’t exercise but know this would help.
I m actually 170 pounds and i m a pakistani and i get what you said when u said that if your pakistani people give you a hard time and i have heard this my whole like that i was fat and if u think about it is bad for your mental health
Check out my NEW video on how I maintain my weight loss after 5 years!
Hamna I am extremely happy for your positive approach and understanding.
This girls seems bit lost when she is thinking what to say!!!
Hamna are you Pakistani? I saw youre video and it has very motivated me but I may need youre help.
Great advice and motivation. The thumbs downs are from ppl blinded by your beauty and hit the wrong button by accident! I’m on day 4 but I’ll write out my list/board.
The quote touched my heart! : "growth is painful
Change is painful
But nothing is more painful than staying stuck somewhere you don't belong"
Poojapurna Bodagala I needed to read this today. Thank-you. ❤️
I love your story so much and I'm gonna have it as my senior quote!
Amen!
yes agreed
😢😥😥😥😥 OMG. You make me feel so sad and angry with myself. I have months thinking off change my bad habits and get healthier. But every day I just do nothing and that is so painful.
1. Exercise on the elliptical for an hour and a half (for two months)
2. When it stopped working, started the treadmill.
3. She recommends making a vision board, where you detail how you will lose the set amount of pounds you want to lose
In her vision board, the 5 main things were
(1) eating healthy: oats, veggies, eggs, protein shakes, fruits
Lunch: salad, veggies, fish, chicken, stir-fry
Dinner: quinoa, veggies, chicken
Snacks, hummus, vegetables, she ate so much fruit for snacks (grapes, oranges, apples)
(2) Exercise: workout (she worked out every single day: she did an hour minimum)
(3) Motivation: think about the reason, why you started (her motivation was clothing)
(4) Drink water (don't have soda, pop, juice, "do not have any liquids other than water")
4. She wrote down her weekly weigh-in
5. Plan what you are going to eat exactly for the week, and your workouts
"Growth is painful, change is painful, but nothing is as painful as being stuck somewhere you do not belong"
Thank you 💛
You are the best for this!!! Thank you
This is so appreciated
The only person you should lose weight for is your self. Started the year at 320 now in at 254. Its a tough journey! But once we get in the right mind set than anything's possible. Congrats to you! I still have a ways to go but I'll get there!
Ch0nchis 66 any tips or tricks?
@@AlieshiaTV I drink a glass of water BEFORE and AFTER a meal. That way you're half way full, so u won't eat as much food. Even if u eat 2nds still drink water.
Lose.
Keep going girl let this be your revengebody
Congratulations
So: long periods on the elliptical, clean food, water, & lots of fruit, especially apples. Vision board to keep yourself motivated, and finding enjoyment in new clothing instead of food.
Thanks, no need to watch now lol
Except she also stresses how much and what kind of exercise she did.
To be honest losing weight is hard when you do not have support
I am way over weight like 100 lbs and I can say you don't need support to lose weight. You need to focus on yourself. Love yourself and do it only for yourself. She mentioned that. Don't worry what other people think or say.
yess agreed!
@@hamna.gilani girl your so pretty😻 congrats on your weightloss!
The best way to loose weight is to eat all of your daily calories at dinner, and just drink beverages throughout the day for social events, or herbal tonics if you're working. weight deleter . com has some useful tools if you want to stay motivated.
why you need support? be self motivated
I hate it when strangers thought I have like 3 kids because I am fat like I am just 19 yrs. old. I know it is not their fault but it still hurts. Thank you for sharing your story. You look gorgeous.
Weird Girl it really hurts when everybody just keep asks are u pregnant how many months like I’m only 19
Well you never know. I gained 60lbs with my first and i was 19 lol
Im still 60lbs overweight at 24 but just had mt 3rd child.
I have 3 kids😂😂😂 truly. And i am not fat😊
This happened to me too. I had some people ask me if I'm married and have kids just because I have a huge tummy. It's so mean.
rei palupy what was the contribution to this comment?
I am middle eastern (syrian) and i can relate to relatives being too honest to the point of being rude !!
Thank you for these tips ❤❤❤❤
I am Egyptian and we have the same problem 😩😩
I'm from the Caribbean and my family members are the same
I'm Palestinian/Jordanian and we have the same problem
@Iris Strings wow i have never heard this information
My husband is Egyptian and his dad is a Doctor. His dad has left me and a few other family members in tears “for our health”.
I really like this video because it shows that you can lose weight without a bunch of fancy meal plans or workout schedules from a trainer. Any lay person can lose the weight. Where there's a will, there's a way.
thank you
👌🏻💪
Is it only me who feels more hungry after eating apples
No, me too.
I've lost 76 pounds before too and what i did when i felt hungry even tho i consumed enough nutrition was eating apples with drinking lots of water. It made me feel full all the time and believe me i did not feel full easily back then C:
You might have issues with carbs. I’m on Keto and it’s the only time I have ever been “full” on a diet
Me too, apples and peaches make me hungry
funny u shud say that cos I do too..maybe if we eat more than one at at time it might help
3 apples a day is not insane.... 😂😂😂😂 eating 12 or more maybe is insane... but if I can eat a bag of takis then I can eat 3 or 5 apples a day! Thanks for your words.
abyami roa I may can eat two or three bags of Takis... so is that insane ?
🙄
Lol 😂
I might be the only one who doesn't like Takis 🤢
It really is easy to eat that many apples, I like to cut them up and take them with me as a snack to eat in between classes
@@AndreaCalvillo1 but then they turn brown.
Family members can say hurtful things to someone big without even realizing it. It's hurtful. This is my story.I broke my silence and told them they were hurting me and didn't care if i looked weak and after i felt in a better space to work on my weight loss journey. And never do any revenge body for someone..do it for you! People should learn to be more respectful how they bring across such sensitive messages of weight gain. Much love guys.
So true. I wish I had the courage to speak up when I was younger. This caused me to have body issues and to yo-yo diet for years.
I went through the same thing. Excel they're still pretty rude to me about my weight, kinda regret confronting them now :-\
I was 127 in high school but gained weight after being prescribed medication for my anxiety. I’m now 198 pounds and 5’4 and I’m determined to get back to my old weight I was at 7-5 years ago. Glad you accomplished your weight lost 😊.
I am struggling so much to lose weight it has made me cry so much lately. I am 185 lbs and only 20 years old. this video really motivated me!! thank youu
Valentina Sanchez girlll same!! I weigh 185 as well!! I’m 22 years old 5’4. I have a 14 month old && i’ve gained 40 lbs within a year. I’ve been so depressed about it but i’ve been going to the gym so hopefully i start losing this weight!! Good luck to you🤞🏽🤞🏽
Nani GZ i am 5’2 and it has been soo difficult that i am considering water fasting but good luck to you too girl you got this!! 💪🏼
Maria A Lets do it!! Send me your info and we’ll motivate eachother ❤️❤️😪
Omg I'm 21 & 5'3. Beginning of this year I was 187. I gained 40+ within a year as well. & I'm trying to lose weight once again!!! I'm currently at 166. I weighed myself this morning
This video including all of you has me motivated to keep going!! 😪✊💕
Keto, intermittent fasting, apple cider vinegar, and lots of water has helped me lose alot of weight.
Nancy Ceniceros how much weight have u lost ? cuz i’m trynna loose weight during quarantine 😔
15 weeks 41 lbs
Would of been more but I cheated for a few days 😂 but doing good again
Nancy Ceniceros did you do any workouts?
I get most of my exercise from working but I still do work outs from CZcams 3 or 4 times a week. Zumba is good too
I saw your posts on instagram but didn't bother to check out the video you posted. The moment you started talking I could feel the struggle and pain you had to go through to get here. Throughout the video your voice held the pain you felt for all the criticism you took in the past. This might only be you talking about your journey to here but this is very brave and amazing. You didn't even need to post a workout video and you conveyed the message brilliantly. I loved it and you should keep loving yourself, you're a great person.
wow thank you so much
Omg we have very similar stories: I started 185, being called FAT from family members that comes from a very blunt culture, long black hair, love fashion but hated how clothes looked on me, etc. I'm currently 171 now and I really want to keep going. I didn't tell anyone about my journey, I'd rather want them to ask me if I lost weight so I know it's for sure.
When u crave something ask ur self "is that craving that u started having few mins back more important than the wish to loose weight? Which one will give u permanent happiness? "
Exactly! 👌🏽👌🏽
Absolutely love this ❤️
I know this video was posted 2 years ago but I’m so happy this was recommended to me by YT. Thank youuu!! This is beautiful! I need to lose 60lbs as I am considered obese now too. I’m tired of it 💔
❤️❤️❤️ means a lot thanks 😊
Wow!!! You look like a new person, congratulations on your weightloss.
I expected to see the meals prepared and keep clicking. This video has truly changed my perspective and I was not expecting it. Thank you.
This is the most honest and simple fat loss advice story I have seen. For the past 3 to 4 years now I have been struggling to exercise regularly and eat healthy food. I act on it, don't even last for a month and then I crash. I am gonna try again it once again and I hope to stick on the plan and lose the fat.
ugh im 5’5 and 190. haven’t been this heavy since i was pregnant. you’re definitely an inspiration! id LOVE to lose 70 pounds.
Girl I’m on the same boat. I have been thin my whole entire life but once I hit 40 after having two kids I am struggling to lose weight. I am about 5’6 (44 years old) and I am heavier than I was with each of my pregnancies. I am 194 lbs 😳My weight before I had my first child was 131. I never really ate healthy and never worked out and I was always very thin eating what I wanted to eat. Now the only thing keeping me from losing weight is my sweet tooth, especially ice cream LOL. When I saw the scale a few months ago and saw that I was in the one 190s I said I need to do something about it. I joined a gym three weeks ago, and for the last two weeks I’ve been going 5 days a wk and trying to eat healthier. We’ll see what happens
ByeBitch 《 I am 😘 thanks for your support!

I am 5'0 and weight 175 lb ... I just started working out and its honestly so hard but its not impossible. Working out it's hard but being over weight it's also hard. Choose your hard. 💪🏽❤
Jackiie Woodard I’m 175 and 4’11! It’s been hard for me to find someone with a similar body type!
Ugh I'm 5'0 as well, I'm at 180 lbs. I used to be 150, I was content with that. I ended up changing my birth control method to Nexplanon. BIGGEST MISTAKE of my life. In the 8months I had it, I had rapid weight gain besides all the symptoms SMFH. When I took it out I was 205! Never been that big in my life. So I'm trying this water fast see how it goes. Luck to yall
Omg I’m 4’11” and 176 lbs (highest 186)! Us shorties should support each other during our health journey! :)
I am 5'2 and I'm 160 but the worst part is that I have a twin who is of same height but she weighs 92😢😢
@@AG-gw3rd if you're that height you must still look good. I am 5 ft and at 160 I still manage to look good. Sorry but 92 at 5'2 is too skinny.
I had to stop the video and just say that I am currently weighing 185lbs and am 5’5.. I completely relate to how you felt when you were at that weight. If you can do it , so can I. Thank you sooo much for posting this video, I’m super motivated to lose this weight. I am going to comment back in a few months and say I did it too!!! ❤️ BTW I just came across your video today, much needed!
Good luck on your journey!
Hamna Gilani thank you! 😊
Bushra Farooqi Thank you!!
Good luck!
Me too! I am the same weight and height! She really inspired me! We can do this!
I love your comment about not needing a gym! I think this is so important for people to know because sometimes we convince ourselves that if we can’t pay for a gym membership we won’t be able to lose weight. You’re right, with so many apps and social media posts with exercises you can do at home/in your room, no need for gym! If people don’t have a treadmill/eliptical then take 45-60 min walks!
I was exactly at the same weight you are. I’m starting on my weight loss journey and have lost 7 lbs this far but have a long way to go! Thanks for your video, so helpful and inspiring!!
Becca.LAGirl keep it up!
My goal is 135 and I’m 177 you have inspired me so much this is the best one so far the way you brought out the vision board... 👍🏽 well done. IM GOING TO LOSE THIS WEIGHT!!
I feel you, everything you've stated i went through it too. Its almost 2 months since i'm on my weight loss journey and i lost 9 kg. Today i was feeling a little demotivated cause i'm not losing as fast as i did in the first month but youtube recommended me your video, i'm so happy for that. Love yourselves guys and if you want to lose weight do it for yourself and not because someone else is telling you to. People always told me lose weight and the way they would say it was hurtful and this caused me to try losing but after a day or week i would give up and binge on eating cause i was very unhappy, sad and hated myself(the way i looked) but yet i wasn't doing anything to lose weight so that was making me even more angry and sad. But since the past 2 months i've become super health concious bc of some health issues and started eating healthy and working out. I used to hate shopping and make up bc i always thought that no matter what i'll be ugly and fat so why dress up and put on make up that'll do nothing that's how unconfident i was. The key for me was to start loving myself( i'm not there yet but slowly slowy i'm started to love myself) and that made me start taking care of myself, my body and concious of what i put inside my body. I eat lots of fruits, veggies, beans and drink only water. My goal is to be healthy! Goodluck to all who are also on this journey, you guys can do it!
Bravo for your 9 kg. Stay motivated 💪🏾💪🏾
I need to lose 70 pounds, I have lost 30, but it is a struggle...thx for the tips
how u lost that 30 lb? been going to gym for a month but gained a kg :( yes it is partially muscle weight and partially fat :(
You go girl
hifisumz it’s all about what you’re eating. food is 80% and gym is 20% of weightloss
Priscilla Arias congrats 30 pounds is still progress,just keep at it and you’ll lose it
Congrats! I hope to lose around 50 pounds!!
Hi Hamna! Fellow Toronto brown girl here that wanted to let you know your videos have helped me so much. Since I started watching your videos I have lost 33 lbs and maintained it for 6 months! I recently gained a little bit back and needed some motivation so I came back to your videos and I’m reminded of how much you inspired me. Thank you so much and please keep your videos coming! You’re so passionate and genuine and have such a positive kind soul. I really love your videos and personality, always so excited to binge watch your videos :)
I have recently started my weight loss journey and have lost 10 lbs in 3 weeks. I'm currently at 183 lbs and got stuck on it for this past week, but watching your video has motivated me to keep going!
Absolutely loved every bit of your video. You were so honest and open and realistic. You were beautiful before but being happy and healthy will give you a different glow. Thank you for sharing.
I was 185pound and then in june I started intermittent fasting and I already lost 25 pound My goal weight is 135. It’s slow but it definitely works.
raval vrunda wow
What process of fasting are you doing? Are you doing like 24 hours twice a week or doing a 16/8? I’m trying this right now and don’t know which path to take
Melodie Hunt im doing 8/16(sometimes I stop eating earlier) and I’ve lost 25 pounds since late August
Updates ?
@@Noname-tg2mo Im also doing intermittent fasting (8/16), I started two weeks ago, I'm 16 pounds less. And all that was without exercise. This week I'm going to start doing exercises and see how it goes. I was 200lb currently 184lb.
I love how straightforward and honest this is- no fluff just hard work and dedication!!!
This video hit home for me. Before my 21st birthday I decided that by 21 I’d be in the best shape of my life. I did it to show an ex what she gave up and it worked for me to an extent, once I did it for myself it changed my life. I got down to 179lbs from 215lbs. Fast forward 5 years and I’m married. I hit my heaviest weight ever of 251lbs last year and just recently decided that I have to do something. It’s so hard to get back the motivation that I once took for granted. I’m down 12 pounds so far and my wife is exercising and dieting with me. I feel amazing but your video definitely motivated me to talk myself out of eating junk when I have a craving. It can be difficult to pass up snacks when everyone around you eats them and can stay skinny but just know that they don’t go home and eat the same garbage you’ve been eating for 5 years. Get up. Get out. Get fit!
Wow! I really love your story and how truly vulnerable and honest you are in sharing this. I’m a hypnotherapist and I can tell you that real, lasting change can only come from within. We don’t really change for ourselves and by our own motivation. You are beautiful inside and out!
I realized that Everyone’s journey is different. I had to Figure out what was good for me. I was a private emotional eater, and I realize that my decision was for me alone. In my personal process I motivated others just by them observing my weightloss. I only share with people who asked and I know are genuinely concerned about their own health. I am currently down 40lbs. Everything you said in this video I equally agree with. Thank you so much for sharing your journey. It motivated me to keep going💋❤️😇
You look like a different person! Your eyes shine compared to your older pictures. Well done!
Lol i do the apple thing when i feel hungry too!! Ive lost 5lbs just trading my sweet tooth or hunger with an apple.
I lost over 85lbs doing the keto diet and biking. I lost some muscle mass, but it is okay, I know usually guys like myself want big arms, but I think I'm done with that life. Getting those nice big arms are not all that, because once you let it go only for like a day, it then turns into a huge struggle, HOWEVER, my calisthenics improved, I can do pull-ups, abs, push-ups, and all kinds of self body weights now and now I have a sculpted lean muscle mass on me and my clothes are just better fitted on me now and all that extra weight is off my back and knee joints. Life got better at a lower weight and with lean muscle. I'm not ever gonna go back to the hulky-muscle/fat bod.
You are beautiful before and after! Beauty is within & the scale can’t justify that. But congratulations 🎊 on your fitness improvements 💪🏼! I went thru the same. I lost 60 lbs and it went great!! Then.... my body rebelled how I was treating it. Too much exercising and low cals... did I lose the weight? Yea.. but I’m dealing with other things now. I lost my period, my hunger cues are all messed up (I was macro tracking & intermittent fasting) and have days of extreme hunger. Ahhhh... it’s so hard to deal with & nobody tells you the cons & bumps in the road with weight loss
I'm 5'4 and 150 pounds and been trying to diet for months now on and off. Out of all these CZcams videos about weight lost this one seriously motivated my soul. Thank you so much. This made me realize that I seriously want to reach my goal.
3 apples a day def kept the doctors away 😂😂.
I’m the heaviest I’ve ever been in my life. I’m 28 years old and I’m 160lbs😔 I would never go past 133-137lbs. Been married for a year now and although I’m supposed to be the happiest I’ve been with my hubby, this extra weight depresses me and brings me down. You’re story was very inspirational. Thank yo for sharing darling💕
Im currently 212 but have lost 27 pounds so far. Ive been doing keto for 2 months now and it works for me. I cant wait to be 160. still got a long way to go but im so excited!
I was in the same boat as you at 215lbs when I started my weight loss journey back in January. I have lost 65lbs and only 10 more until I reach my goal so it can be done. You will get there!!!! Good luck!!
Same here! I was 213 and have so far lost 23lbs since August. I didn’t have a goal weight in the beginning. I just started Keto to kick my sugar addiction before I even thought about how much to lose because my addiction was terrible. Now that I’m down to 190, I think want to go down about 45lbs more. At the moment, I’m just glad I’ve gotten to a point where I don’t need the sweets anymore. I went from eating a pint of ice cream in one sitting to barely being able to finish an ice cream cone.
I just need to incorporate more exercise.
Please tell me where you got the keto
pamela graves Keto is a way of eating. There’s tons and tons of blogs and CZcams channels about it:)
Where can I get
I have a hard time watching videos of other women talking about their weight loss but I really enjoyed your demeanor, how candid you were and how you got straight to the point without rambling, product placement or advocating some harsh diet or supplement. That quote you shared was great :)
I'm also 5'5" and started at 186.6. I've started losing weight twice and ended up back at that same weight. I'm on my third go and have lost 8lbs so far. This time I want the change to be permanent. I really enjoy bike riding and jump rope, I'm also doing some calisthenics and light weight lifting to try and minimize loose skin issues later. Thank you for sharing your success, it's really inspiring.
How have I JUST come across your channel?! You’re so relatable. Growing up in a Pakistani household with curry/takeout everyday, fizzy drinks and desi desserts is the worst 😂 I’m currently 179 lbs and I’m trying to lose around 40 lbs. Your video was so much help! Thankyou, currently binging on all your vids
Same here I am Pakistani 5'7 ( 150 lb ) and I want to loose weight lol but paratas not coming slow
I’ve tried this and it works!!! I could tell the difference in my face got slimmer and I enjoyed the food you mention on here. I felt energized and happy. I fell off the wagon though due to some family hardships but I’m getting back on again! And can’t wait to continue this time.
Very inspiring to see how you lost the weight within a short amount of time. I've lost and gained weight my whole life, best thing I learned is to find an exercise you really love to do.
If you slice an apple, put the pieces in water, add salt to the water, mix for just a second, and rinse, you can have apple slices that won’t oxidize so you can eat them later.
I started on Feb 1st 2020 and I’m half way to my goal weight of 150lbs. I’ve lost 35 and I have another 35 to go! I’m 5’8” so I think 150lbs is a good weight for me.
Howww
Wow! Congratulations! I want know how!
that bed frame is beautiful and this video is inspiring
I came to this video after my group of friends called me a whale. I love them with all my heart and I thought living with that comments has been my daily but yesterday words had affected me so much. I am 75kg and 5'4 now, and I always unhappy with how I look and watching this video made me relate so much to you. I have pledged myself that whatever happens, I NEED to lose weight. Not for my friends, but for my happiness.. In sometimes in the future, I hope I can go back to this comment again and think that yeah, I made it. English isnt my first language but I really want to tell you that you have motivated me so much to take a step forward and now its my turn to make changes to my own life.💜
V my Hope wow that was insensitive of them I hope you surround yourself with people who support you. We can do this!
I was insulted by my friend who’s a boy. It hurt me soooo bad. I know your pain :-(( bby those ppl are so mean. I would consider distancing yourself from them if they say such hurtful things to you :-(((
I love that this isn't overcomplicated like some youtubers will advertise all this equipment and specialised food and gym memberships... so straight to the point !
I would kill to be 183 pounds I'm at 243
I started at 269, and I'm now down to 225. You can get to 183 one day at a time!!
1GoldenBreeze you're right I started at 278 its slowly chopping away. As a man I feel like I dont want to get no smaller than 183 but its definitely a goal.
You can do it!!!! Remember you are your own biggest motivator!!! You got this!!! 💪
Belive in yourself! ❤️
@@hamna.gilani if you really want to lose weight all you need to do is don't eat junk food ever again avoid sugar and soda and use a very small spoon to eat your food and before drink a tea or water and then eat. You will be happily surprised.
This is so incredibly helpful! I'm down 9 pounds. I never thought to make a vision board, what an awesome plan! Can't wait!
Congratulations!
You were beautiful then, and you're just as gorgeous now!
i feel like i’m literally looking in a mirror. i was 155-160 throughout highschool and now i’m 19 and i’m 190. i need to change and you’re my inspiration!!
Im only 14 and i weigh around 160lbs which is overweight, i gained all the extra weight after i started my period and i understand what you’re coming from when you talked about Pakistani’s since i am too. I’ve been trying to lose weight for a year or two now but I’ve only now gained ENOUGH motivation to actually stop myself from eating junk and to workout everyday, hoping i can lose around 40 pounds or get to a healthy weight by the summer (at least weigh around 115-120). I’m thinking that i might make a vision board too since i think that will motivate me moreee. Thank you so much for this video it really has motivated me more.
lybahsksksks Have you lost the weight ?
Soooo glad this wasn’t 30 minutes long!🙄. Thanks for just getting straight to the point👌🏾
I’ve lost 35lbs/16kg so far and I’m still continuing my weight loss journey. I relate so much to the family thing where people really criticise the way you look like.
Hamna, You are truly honest with your journey. You vlogged with sincerity and so I know it is doable. The most important thing is your wanting to lose weight- that is your motivation. For me at 95 kgs, I don't care about my weight anymore. Relatives have been tough on me but I tell them I love being fat and that is the truth.
Hey can you make a recipe video of the fish, chicken and veggies you ate? That would be great!
And to be very honest with you, you looked super cute when you were chubby! But now you look like a freaking supermodel!! Really inspiring video!
Living in a pakistani household one of my biggest challenges is trying to get the support from my parents. If I want to eat less, dont feel hungry, or want to eat healthier they always question everything and then start to comment. And the food that gets prepared at home isnt the healthiest either . So I feel like I get stuck between a rock and a hard place.
Fellow Pakistani help me 😭😭
HI GUYS! Check out my new video on WHAT I EAT IN A DAY
Hamna Gilani can u reply to comment please
Which one
Can you speak in urdu plzzzz
Hamna Gilani what about loose skin ... after such huge weight loss
@@Rajasthanigurl ... I am also worried abt sagging skin.. someone plz help
I'm starting my weight loss journey in this new year. My cousin is getting married this Spring and I'm one of the bridesmaids. I want to look my best and I'm at my heaviest 190 and hoping to lose 70 lbs in 5 months like you Hamna! I found this video super helpful. Thanks and Congrats!
Great work and i like the way u spoke about the weight loss instead of dragging the topic like most youtubers do
Thanks!
this video was so inspirational, and I am in the same shoes as you were when you started. Currently 200 lbs and have a family wedding in the summer. I tired of the rude comments from family members and just family friends. I know I want to do this for myself and seeing this video just inspired me to try harder. Thanks girl !
Thank you sooo much for this video! I pray that I can make the same change! I am 5"2 193lbs. I know I can do it! I will push myself! I will do this for myself more than anything!
I honestly underestimated apples. Great video sis!
Hasaan Gilani funny thing is I don’t eat as much fruits at all, I’m a bad vegetarian haha I will look more into apples 🍎
You are very honest and humbled and that is what makes so beautiful and special. Thank you for helping all of us who still struggle❤️
For anyone watching and seeing this commment. Actually.. you need to lift. It helps build muscle which burns calories. Maybe not in the beginning. But also doing an hour of cardio you’re just going to have to keep doing that or increasing. Also you shouldn’t work out every day (especially when lifting). You need a rest day. If you don’t rest your body can’t do what it needs to do. But healthy eating is like 80% of losing weight. I am proof that if you just exercise but don’t eat the best you will gain weight. This is all personal story from me. I learned how to do iifym from CZcams. And i watch Whitney Simmons for lifting workouts. My body fat is now 24.3 (not sure what it was at the start) from dexa. that is ideal apparently but I still need to build more muscle so I can try to get down to about 20%. :)
This is so true. I cant afford to go to the gym right now, but I use my body weight/hiit cardio & dumbells by doing squats with them etc. I see such a big difference faster compare to jogging! And I feel more stronger and toner. Though eating good also helps, because I took advantage of that lols, so I noticed and had to start all over again!
If you cut 20% of body fat you’d be 4.3% body fat which is lowkey unhealthy because you still need body fat for insulation
@@k1tsune0ni she doesn't want to cut 20% she wants to cut _to_ 20%
Lifting weights has always been the fastest way for me to lose weight, with healthy eating of course. I'll do kettlebell swings, followed by a lower body exercise like squats, followed by an upper body exercise like chest presses. I'll do 6 to 7 trios like this using different lower and upper body exercises with very little rest between sets so it's aerobic. Moderately heavy weights with moderately high reps.
so it’s also gonna be effective if for example you’re gonna do exercises 5x a week (3-5 sets and 8-12 reps) and do cardio of half an hour 1x a week and 1 day rest plus healthy eating? right? instead of treadmill all of this?
thank u thank u thank u!! literally saved me from an emotional pit!! THANK YOU
Aw thank you!
This is so inspirational! I’m really proud of you:
honestly, this is the most helpful, original weight loss video I've ever seen.
Keto + intermittent fasting is the way to go. It really works. I've been on it now for about 3 months. I lost 30 pounds in the first 2 months
Can't figure out why any one would dislike this... it's her story, her journey, and she chose to share with the world to possibly help someone else.
I loved the honesty and willingness to help others !
It takes commitment, consistency and self discipline for sure 🙏🏽👏🏽💕🥰
hmm very valid point with the gym membership. Just because someone isn't into that gains life doesn't mean they don't have to take care of themselves. Gym-goer or not you should eat properly and be healthy.
When you’re trying to reach a goal, tell yourself over and over that there is no other option until you believe it. When you feel like cheating, think about what your future will look like if you continue your habits. Stop telling yourself “I’ll start next week” or “It was a rough day, I deserve ____.” I promise you’ll always find an excuse. Be truly honest with yourself about when you deserve a break. You can do anything, but you will never be successful without the right mindset and motivation. It might take a while to find that, but it’s the only key to reaching your goals.
"Queenwah" sounds waaaaayyyy better than Quinoa! I loved your video. You were very specific in what you ate and the exercises you did.
I weigh 158 right now & I’m 5’6. My goal weight is 125, and I’m currently a full time student. I want this for myself so bad and you have really inspired me to start this journey for myself in 2019. I hope to lose this chunk of weight in the same amount of time you did. I also have started my own vision board! I know this is going to be so hard to get into but I want to do this for myself! Thanks for the inspiration❤️
Its taken me 8 months to lose 20 pounds.. It's a slow process for me, because I'm trying to be super gradual, but this motivated me to speed up the process a bit.
Be patient, slow and steady, you'll get there, remember u did'nt gain the wt. overnight, so therefore ur not going to lose it overnight and don't become a slave to the scale, good luck in ur endeavor
Don’t get discouraged! You can do it! 💪🏼
aww thank you so much
Speeding up isn't the best unless you're obese! Please don't speed up keep it gradual and I'm confident you'll lose the wight off for good!!
A few years ago when I was a teen, I lost 35-40 pounds in about 6 -8 months using an elliptical and healthy eating. Then college happened and gained all of it again without even knowing and also having PCOS so, here I am after 10 years , 183 pounds , starting a weight loss journey again. Your vid is really motivational and you look great!! Thanks for sharing your story.
My motivation was Shopping too!!! I just hated looking at myself when I went to try on something cute but it never fits the way I wanted it to. So I started my strict diet again. For me is really really hard to lose weight after having a baby. Its already been 3 years and I'm still very overweight!! I was 200 pounds and it was so hard to even stand long, I would have feet pain!! So yeah it took me 3 or 4 years to lose all that weight!. My goals is to be 115 again.
I want to join the U.S. Air Force but I need to lose 15 pounds to meet the weight requirement. It breaks me heart to feel stuck. Last year I managed to drop 40 pounds in 3 months by cutting carbs. However, I'm trying to lose more weight now and I can't stay consistent and seem to have no motivation. I truly want to be in the military because it'll help with my career and help me be on my own. If I don't lose the weight I'll be stuck at my dead end job living with my parents lol. I'm only 20 but I'm so ambitious. I swear I'm gonna get my shit together. Thank you for the tips and encouragement!!😭❤
Good for you, I am happy to hear stories of people who wants to improve their health... Allthevery best to you young lady.
I loved that part ya don’t have to tell anybody it’s between you and yourself that’s gunna care about this
This is by far the best weight loss video I’ve watched 😍you did motivate me .
Omg how do you know my story?!! I was 183 & 19 years old too when I realized I needed to lose it! And my bro was getting married which motivated me. Pakistani here and the goal sheet all the way!! Proud of you!! Stay blessed
I am going through same, after pregnancy. It’s gonna be almost 1 year postpartum n my husband always point out me n not happy with me , 😞
Watching your video is helpful for me n encouraging
No offence, but he should love u for Ur personality, looks fade but personality doesn't, when Ur both old there won't be no good looks but if u love each others personality u can still enjoy those good convos😁 dw about him I know it can be discouraging cuz my family do the same to me, but just focus on making yourself happy not him, point out to him looks don't last (plus men tend to loose their elasticity when they get into their 50s/60 so get saggy chins and bigger bellies as metabolism slows down, plus their hairlines recede soo he may end up being bigger too🤷♀️)
Started my journey in late april at 202 pounds, today at the start of June I am 179 and I've never felt better. (I'm 5'10.)
smol ting wow!! I’m 5’10 as well and I’m 206. What have you been doing?
Melanie Jade jogging (a little), dancing (a lot!) and intermittent fasting! water before and after every meal, and light exercise in my free time and while i’m watching tv. good luck girly!
smol ting thank you so much! & congrats on your loss 🎉
Queenwah, is a waay better name for quinoa!
Your so down to earth!!! And so real and genuine. So proud of you!!!
Another good quote is “fall in love with the process not the product” !
Currently losing my Christmas weight and trying to get back on track with weight loss, in the past few months I’ve gone from 193 to 163, it’s hard but you have pushed me to keep going 💪🏻 I don’t exercise but know this would help.
I m actually 170 pounds and i m a pakistani and i get what you said when u said that if your pakistani people give you a hard time and i have heard this my whole like that i was fat and if u think about it is bad for your mental health
This is motivating, thank you. You’re right, you do not need to prove to anyone else that you cant be your best, prove it to yourself!
