Getting there. From too skinny (very unhealthy size) to more athletic.
Jennifer Parsons sameeee!!!
Sure have and I'm still gonna do my cardio 3-5 days a week and I'm gonna buy some adjustable dumbbells so I don't lose my gains.
350ish and now 170 or 175 fluctuates

"yOu Can'T ChAnGe YoUr BoDy SiZe"
Says a woman that changes her body size daily by overeating.
So, people can't get smaller, but they can get bigger? So, genetics applies to one way, and not the other?
*What?*
Exactly. 🤦🏻♀️
Ashley M. Davis a year and a half ago I was 210 and a size 14/15...now I’m 130 and a size 7. Definitely a HUGE difference in my size and now I don’t have to work out so much just lightly and eat healthy.
Being that fat affects your brain apparently (talking about Virgie, not you).
This woman is just projecting her insecurities all over the internet. Just wants validation for her short comings.
💯 classic projection. So toxic
Bingo
I'm Hawaiian. A lot of Hawaiians and Samoans have a gene variant that allows for 35% more efficient fat storage. Because of this gene variant, it is A LOT easier for us to gain weight and become obese. While this was a great gene to have when you are sailing around the pacific ocean it's not so great in modern times. I have this gene, my brother died from obesity at 40 years old from a widow-maker heart attack. My cousins and some of my Uncles after my brother died all went on diets and lost weight. I have never been obese or fat. I saw what it did to my brother. Is it easy? For me absolutely not. I can't indulge in a piece of cake or dessert. If I do I will gain 1-2lbs. I hate all of the excuses these people give. They aren't genetically predisposed to this shit. They are just lazy and gluttonous.
Though I'm not Samoan or Hawaiian, I am one of those people who has to work extra hard to keep my weight down. It sucks..
Sorry for your loss
@@LaPotraBellaca Thank you lady
I am sure this is what happened to Israel "Izzy" Kamakawiwoʻole - what a sweet man. Too bad his life was cut short.
Very interesting xox
I’m a 4’9 woman. That is an actual size that is out of my control. I’m not demanding shorter chairs or lower counters. I take control of the parts of my body that I have a say in. Over the past few years my body fat percentage has lowered, I gained muscle and feel awesome.
Awesome sauce
Congratulations ! We love to hear it
Hear here petite friend 👍👍👍
Rachel Carlisle preach!!!! I demand lower toilets and lower sinks, everything just lowered to fit me and the other short ass people like myself.
4'9 woman too. If it possible i actually want library or bookshop cease to use high shelf to store their books 😁, sometimes, grocery stores in my country use high shelf too.
My genetics dictate that I gain weight easily. I have to work even harder and be really disciplined about exercising and eating right. Stop complaining and start training.
You have got a discipline privilage🤣
Same here...I had to go on a high volume eating plan because my hunger hormones are out of whack.....5 huge low cal meals a day ontop of a 3 or 4 pound salad with Walden farms 0 cal ranch....and working my ass off 3 times a week is how I do it
@ValentinaPeters
You go, girl :) It's amazing to hear that some people care about their health, even though they have to work very hard to achieve it.
Stay happy and healthy
Same here. I gain weight easily combines with a really adaptive and slow metabolism. The cherry on top that I am a stress eater as well, so whenever I slip, I have to pay hard... Now I am on a sustainable (hopefully final) lifestyle change, with a 30kg weight loss goal. 6 kilo down so far, but instead of crying about my genetics, I do what I have to, and take responsibility for my actions/habits.
I feel ya. I can gain weight effortlessly. FML...
I'm proof of hard work and change. I'm 5'1". My highest weight 286. Currently I'm 128 pounds! Adding on to this 11 months later and down to 118 lbs even with the pandemic and having had a major surgery!
same here omg!!Also, from one kindred spirit to another, I'm proud of you!!!
Great work 💪
Hell yes Susan. That's amazing. 💙
Jesus christ 286 at 5'1?!?! Good for you on the weightloss!
Young people don't realize exactly how fat can affect your health. My mom, my aunt, and my great-aunt all had breast cancer. They are/were all overweight or obese for at least a decade. None of my more slender aunts and female family members on my mom's side had cancer. We are more cancer-prone, but my mom's doctor said their cancer was estrogen fed, and was made worse by being fat. I'm not a medical professional and don't exactly understand everything, but I know that being overweight ups my already high chance of getting cancer. Fat activists always try to use "evidence" that being fat isn't harmful, but I've seen it within my own family. I need to stay normal weight for my literal long-term health.
I know it’s just hope. I hope no one else in your family ever gets cancer.
That is part of my concern as well. My Nana had ovarian cancer, and my risk is already higher because of that. I didn't want my weight to be one more factor in a long list.
One of my cousins had a surgery to help her lose weight, after that she apparently started having very low potassium and magnesium levels and she recently had some sort of a seizure or extreme panic attack because her heart beat was messed up. She survived (THANK GOD) and my parents only told be about this today. To think that someone like virgie tovar encourages people to develop weight issues that will require a surgery to fix, they may cause other problems like what happened to my cousin is just saddening.
That's exactly how I got breast cancer too. I'm 5'2'', now down to 144 lbs, going to drop to 115 lbs.
I lift, walk, and eat healthy now.
"Thinness is a sign of self control..."
No. HEALTH is a sign of self control and effort. Someone who is bulimic or anorexic is thin and is out of control.
YES, people can change their size. I'm 6ft tall and 10 years ago was 220+ lbs. I started running an hour a day and got down to 160 in just a few months. Today I balance a little more and maintain a weight of 185.
Do factors like age, sex, genetics, and even wealth make losing weight easier for some people? Yes. Does that mean its impossible to change your size? No.
Right? Generally, drug addicts are thin, or at lest thinner than when they were not on drugs. They do not look healthy, though. The drug is completely in control, and it often shows up in both their behaviors and their appearance. Having a healthy, balanced routine implies self control. Sometimes that shows up in someone’s body.
I worked my ass off, lost 100lbs and went from a size 18 to a size 9. But I guess I’m privileged now because I’m not fat anymore? 🤷🏼♀️
Well done for working so hard and sticking to it ❤️
Congratulations to your healthful change! Here's for many years to come🥂🥂
'You Can't Change Your Body Size While Maintaining the Same Self-Destructive Lifestyle'. There. Fixed it for her.
MsMichelle7710 bingo!
From wearing US size 18 to size 6 💪🏻
When i was younger and dating around, the dating apps were what i used. I went on a date where the person listed her body type as “athletic.” Boy was I surprised to meet up with a morbidly obese person. She said she has an athletic body because she does zumba a couple time a week 🤦♀️
That's tuff
That's... actually hilarious xD
Please finish this story a year later lol
@@misskay6831 lol idk what happened to her cuz i never saw her again. It may seem shallow but i was finishing my journey of losing 80lbs and needed a partner that would help me stay on the right path. (Happily married of 8 years now so this story was a long time ago)
I commend Virgie's joints for lasting this long 👍
Same. My knees are fighting me after gaining some quarantine weight. Anyone whose knees can hold up 300+ lbs, I commend their knees!
LMFAO!!😂😂😂😂😂😂FUCKIN RIGHTEOUS!
I was obese from age 9 to age 26. Not morbidly but still obese. Last September i decided to get healthier and ive never felt better. I have more energy and motivation to do stuff, am down almost 80lbs, and have a 6 pack for the 1st time in my life. None of my old clothes fit and i had to drill multiple holes in my belts and lifting belt. Also, came down with some bad pneumonia last week and i honestly think i would have been hospitalized or worse if it was this time last year. You never know when something can happen, and if your body is unhealthy coming into it, the consequences can be deadly.
Temmmeeeee wow thats amazing! good job man
Damn
Yep, that’s why so many more people are dying from covid. Hypertension, obesity, and vit D deficiency are probably the biggest risk factors to dying from covid.
As someone who is almost 26, overweight for his whole life and who has failed to lose weight and/or keep it off several times, that is really inspiring to hear. I sometimes get frustrated with my self because I still haven't managed to adopt a healthier lifestyle, especially since I am now reaching an age where my body will very slowly but steadily become less resilient. But your story shows that it isn't too late to change, it never is. It's what I needed to hear.
Mathis its never too late to change :) you got it
"Chances of a fat person becoming a thin person is less than 1%"
Where the heck does she live??? I've seen a lot who became successful with their weight loss. Virgie is not even trying 🙄
It's just so weird to me that eating and food is such a huge part of this woman's identity. Like, I love cooking and pad thai as much as the next guy, but those things aren't the basis of like who I am at my core???
And it's not like they generally diversify their food choices it's usually just cake and fast-food
@Amilah also someone who's so desperately wants affection and love, its like "ill show you my everything just love me please😔"
She's a piece of work for sure. She wrote an article about how she refused to go on a second date with a guy because he didn't want to eat chips and candy with her (which she refers to as "the perfect summer meal" like what? You could eat that anytime! Bonus points that it was watermelon candy, which, you know, an actual watermelon is more of a summery food...)
She's also known for a video in which she thinks someone asking for a smaller piece of cake is a direct referendum on *her* body size, and thus fat shaming, when maybe that person knew they wouldn't eat that much and didn't want to waste food? Or just didn't want to have a sugar crash later?
Amilah Omg, snuff porn though? 🤭 Girl got issues...
Agreed. Wholeheartedly
"You can't change your body size."
Well, she has clearly NEVER seen Christian Bale then.
I googled the hashtag. You Have The Right To Remain Fat.
this is the title of her book. Ironically, she doesn’t believe this right extends to people who don’t want to remain fat.
Yep, and you have the right to die early too. Lol. Idiots.
I looked at the title and only that made me laugh already, I wonder How much more I laugh at this video
Just this year I went from 150 lbs to 108 lbs all by my own through eating healthy and watching this kind of informative/entertaining videos and I feel amazing, this is the first time in my life where I’m in a healthy weight and even though my journey isn’t complete yet bc I just started exercising 2 weeks ago (I’m a “skinny fat”) my quality of life has grown a bunch. Thank you for giving the motivation I needed all these years ❤️
Love this conversation though. There are different states of being: sickness, wellness, health, and fitness. Currently as an obese person it's important to admit that I'm in a state of sickness. There's nothing fit happening here. But I do have wellness, which is an essential step before health or fitness can be attained. Wellness includes not being a total nutcase and saying crazy shit, like you can be healthy at every size. That's just a trap to justify staying overweight.
I wish we couldn't change our body size. If I could eat almond croissants all day and STAY 100lbs then I would. Sad I cannot
I’d even be content with “I eat a really healthy diet of lean proteins and veggies and berries, watch my carbs and calories, and work out regularly but my body won’t get smaller than 200lbs. It is what it is.” But the Pro-Obesity (or Probesity, as I call it) movement shames healthy eating and needs a trigger warning for exercise.
Why is this such a mood, though?
I’ve gone up and down probably 7 times. My heaviest 248. My lowest after kids 170. I’m currently 227 and my goal is 165
My mother always says that in the 70's and 80's everyone was skinny. So where they all blessed with good genetic to start with or eating less actually works? Also, if some people have to work harder then others why do they always have to embrace this loser mentality? You have to work harder, so what? just fucking do it
I once watched 4 mechanics changing a tire on an LMTV. Working their asses off, Breaker Bar out, desperately trying to get that bolt loose. They were very hard workers. And they were idiots who refused to step back and look at reality and understand they were wrong. They spent 20 mins tightening the bolt. The point being, you can work hard in the wrong direction because your ego is in the way.
“Rebel Eaters”. 🙄 For all her ranting about privilege it doesn’t seem to occur to her that flaunting her “rebel eating” is also flaunting her Western first-world upper middle class privilege. Wah wah waaaaaaaaah.
Exactly, the fast food that she can afford for less is actually so pricy in my country, even if I wanted (which thank god I don't) to eat mc donalds every day it would get my bankrupt
Seriously. I grew up super poor in a food desert. I literally couldn't eat as much as I wanted or what I wanted or when I wanted. When school was out in summers sometimes we just didn't eat for a couple days. She is ignoring shit like that until she wants to "call out" people for "privilege". It pisses me off.
My grandma lived in Nazi germany and her dad was in Concentration camp and then shot by the SS. When Berlin was bombed she was not allowed in the bunker because her father was considered a traitor. She never had food. She walked through the streets when the bomb came to search for food when everyone else was hiding. Her only chance to eat.
To this day she can’t waste food. She literally eats a yoghurt past the date.
Natalie Juarez Your grandma is a bada$$. Much love and respect to her. 🙏❤️
Frances East My parents lives in Detroit for a while and saw some of the food deserts. It’s really sad. 😢
I recommend people to read "the obesity code" by Jason Fung, MD (treats patients with kidney disease w/ type 2 diabetes in Toronto). He explains obesity in terms of the hormones involved in making people fat. What is behind the diet and what drives obese people to eat. It helped my drop 23 pounds so far! No more back pain
Used to be 220 Ibs. (at 6 ft 1 inch) Realized that I needed to do something about it to not be at risk for dying from C-19. Started counting calories whilst keeping my regular exercise routine. Now 5 months later I'm 167 Ibs (still being able to lift as much as I was before changing my lifestyle). Guess you can change your body size after all.
@Magical Leaf You're right, what I meant to say was that I didn't want to be at a higher risk of getting a worse case of C-19 if I could do something about it. I wanted to be more healthy and not be in a "risk group" if you know what I mean. Hope that cleared things up!
I used to be overweight, thought I could never lose weight because I was destined to be fat like my dad. I lost weight for my wedding with my husband and I can now have a cake without going back to being overweight because I know how to eat healthy and move more despite a slipped disc and arthritis. It's all about discipline and hard work.
Yes, there is a genetic factor in metabolism; but the biggest thing is the habits you learn from your parents as you grow up. My mom is obese, has been my entire life. I've been some level of overweight since middle school. It's easy to think it's genetics.
Yes, my bone structure is wider, I'm also 5'9 and come from German farmers. So yes, I will probably never easily be a slender supermodel, however I can be strong and healthy and that's what I'm working for.
I want to get my own good habits locked in before I have kids, so they won't have to learn it as an adult and undo years of extra weight and not understanding how much a portion really is for what their body needs.
I changed my body, from a size 24 (NZ) to a size 10. So there!
Virgi never fails to give me my sweet sweet cringe! Yes some people seem more predisposed to weight gain and it’s okay not to look like a VS model! But that doesn’t mean you can’t help but be morbidly obese! You can be normal weight or even slightly overweight and be the picture of health and attractiveness! There’s beauty in the diversity of healthy bodies! Beyonce isn’t a size 2 but she’s gorgeous!!
lost 54 pounds of fat and gained 20 of muscle.
F**k yeah! 💪
I really like your videos and I’m not in your program, but I got down to 235 from 265 this summer and your body is my dream in the future. You’re a good man who cares about others and I appreciate that.
I was overweight as a child due to kidney disease I was born with this by the way I was 4'9 152 as a result the meds giving me an appetite my waist was a 38,but I did not complain as soon as I could exercise I did I played baseball alot I liked to pitch without realizing it my waist size dropped to a 32 because of the constant movement it took me 3 years to drop to this size and I was 11 by then I am 38 years old now and have the same waist size to this day since I continue to exercise to this day.
Rebels without a Clue
She is making up nonsense made up ‘facts’ to basically say ‘I am lazy’
I used to be fat. Was fat my entire life until the age of 21. After working hard and losing 105lbs I now have thin privilege. Lol
I have changed my body size with healthy habits and hard work. It’s not easy but you have to choose health. I am so much happier now
I’ve been skinny fat for years 🤷🏼♀️ been working out 6 days a week lifting heavy, incorporating cardio, drinking tons of water, and feel better than ever. I’ve dropped 2 pant sizes. I’ve maintained my weight but have changed my body shape SO much and it’s so rewarding. It’s addicting and so much more worth it than food, soda, or relaxing for hours every day could ever be!
I'm on my weightloss journey now. 9 kilos down so far. I had too. I'm an asthmatic and at only 104 kilos i developed sleep apnea. even after losing 9 kilos I haven't woken up during the night since. Going to lose at least another 10. Really enjoying your videos thanks
I'd love for her to tell me that my body is a product of genetics and good luck and not years of hard work. Honestly these activists with a huge platform are so dangerous with their toxic message
Lmaoooo I did I was at 270-290 range and I dropped down to 160 this was five years ago I’m now a lot more muscular and not stopping l
I was about to buy salt in to the kitchen but i started watch Papa almost every day and i dont think that my diet need more Nacl anymore
I love your videos because they are so honest and strait up. I have really horrible back pain to the point where going to the point where it’s hard to go to the grocery store because the pain is so intense. I was considered obese and seeing that on my paperwork from my doctors woke my ass up. I have lost 80 pounds so far just from changing my diet. I’d love to work out as soon as I can get help for my back, but trust me what you eat has so much to do with your health! No one has an excuse! You can loose weight! ❤️👌🏻
I have changed my body size, my relationship with food, and my whole life! Went from obese to emaciated to healthy over a 3 year time period, and couldn't be happier!
Ha ha ha 😂😂😂 The unicorn part with the chipmunk voice got me LOL 😂😂😂 Good one 😄
One year I gained nearly 40 lbs and became overweight for the first time in my life. I felt like shit. I hated the feeling of your gut bounce when you're just trying to walk to the bus stop. So I did something about it and spent the next months losing it all.
It took a while to get to th topic at hand on this video but I get it. I enjoy your content encouraging a healthy lifestyle tho.
I fell in love with your content because you tell me what I don’t want to hear 😂
Went from weighing 215lbs to now weighing 130lbs from hard work and discipline... no shakes no starvation no specific diets just clean eating and working out also I didn’t focus on “how long” just made sure that each day and worked at.
I’m going to need Virgie Tovar to explain to me why my genetics and my whole tree privilege didn’t keep me skinny when I was regularly consuming McDonald’s burgers and shakes followed by Caramel bugles and red Starburst. Oh, wait, maybe it was my lack of self-around around food and the enormous amount of calories I was consuming that made me fat, not my genetics alone. Yeah my genetics make it really hard to lose weight once I gain it, but guess what happens when I don’t eat ALL the junk food? My body size changes! Guess she’s wrong.
Influence over control. This is why you are amazing at what you do🙌🏻
Lol no one was born 300 lbs. Someone somewhere had to grow and, therefore, CHANGE their body size.
Sweet baby 🤦🏿♀️ make it make sense.
I’m Native American and predisposed to gaining weight easily. I got to 200 pounds when I had my son and for a while just let myself be miserable in my fatness. But I’ve busted my ass for a year to lose my baby weight. Then the quarantine happened, and then I had a flare up with my Crohn’s and had to have my medication changed. Did I gain weight? Sadly, yes. But I’m back to being a badass in the gym to get back to where I need to be. You can change, you just have to want to.
I watch your videos... while gaining!!! 💪😎
Subbed!
I lost 15 pounds and I'm building some muscle now, I'm really motivated
Tessi be roasting the fuck out of everybody. Keep the hard work up, fam💪
Currently changing my body and loving it. People like her hate their body so much but are too lazy to change so they take out their self hatred on those who they wish to look like.. I've never been that way because I take accountability for my weight. I'm not clueless as to why I'm overweight. I had horrible portion control and would never get enough movement in my day. Love your video. It helps me stay motivated to change.
After being overweight and obese for my whole life I changed my bad eating and exercise habits over the course of about two years and lost over 100 pounds. It is possible. I think many overweight and obese people would rather believe it is impossible because that justifies their unhealthy habits that they are either unwilling or perceive themselves as unable to give up.
My advice for anyone struggling with weight: Take that first step in the right direction. You don’t have to give up all the junk food overnight. Instead of having a big bowl of ice cream, start having small cups. Instead of three snack cakes, have two, and eventually one. If you eat a lot of fast food, start cooking some of your meals at home. As you get more comfortable cooking for yourself, home cook the majority of your meals. Start taking two minute, five minute, ten minute walks. Progress seems impossibly slow at first, as the human body‘s instinct is to maintain whatever weight it is at. Many give up, but if you hold yourself accountable and don’t allow yourself to fall back into your bad routines, you can definitely lose weight.
And of course, keep in mind that there is no one-size-fits-all solution; everyone will respond differently, so find what works for you.
I lost 56 pounds half a human,I worked hard and will continue to.
I love that point about equality of opportunity.
I'm glad i came across you. Yes i'd change my habits if it means a happier more full filling life 😊. I've never been over weight before but i'm not thin either some where in between.
I’m 57 years old, have 3 children, & weigh the same as I did in high school. Not because of genetics, but because I have lived a healthy lifestyle with what I eat & physical activity. I feel great!
I am a 16 year old ex obese person who weighted in at 200 lbs at my heaviest. I have lost 65 lbs and I'm at 135 lbs now. I have only 10 more lbs to lose before I hit my goal weight of 125. I managed to lose the weight by changing my diet and stop eating and drinking as much junk food as well as stop binge eating. I also work out but not on a consistent basis. 😆 I hated it when I was obese as I was limited in what I could do or wear to express my self. My wakeup call came when I went to Six Flags over GA and my biggest fear wasn't the height of the roller coasters but the fear that I would be to over weight or to big to fit in any of the rides. People like you and Michelle pushed me in the right direction and keep giving me the motivation to keep going. Thx 💀🤟☠️Rock on Dude
I definitely have changed my body size. When I was a child (12 years old) I weighed almost 200 pounds. When I entered high school was when I started a fitness kickboxing and I drop the weight. In my 20s I started weightlifting. Unfortunately, due to a back injury I had to stop for about two years undergoing therapy. Then I found Papa Swolio , Learned about the seven pillars and the elimination diet. I went from weighing 185 to my current weight of 174. I’m happy with myself and want to keep helping to encourage others in the weight-loss process to live a longer and healthier life!
I just got blocked on instagram by a "nutritionist" who said we ONLY fear gaining weight because we're fat phobic. When I called her out and said there are other reasons, she screenshot my comment and put it in her story and said I was attacking her. I guess she thought her followers would attack me and when it didn't happen, she blocked me. Of course, she mysteriously has 13,000 followers and only gets about 150-200 likes per post, so I have to question how valid her account even is.
I've lost weight so I know you are right. It sucks that you don't have the subs as some of these "fat activists" as what you so say everyone needs to hear. Proves the point lots of people don't like honesty. I think you are the hero alot of these people need 🤩🥰😀
I'm always late to the party but FUCK YEAH TESSIE'S BACK!
24kg down since the start of the year. About 10-15 kg to go, but my changed body feels so much better and more comfortable. I’ve changed my body in such a way that I know I’ll be able to keep it changed, and keep changing it as I put on muscle, increase my agility, flexibility, go through life.
Wow. Just wow 😳
That tea serve, someone pass the tea 👏
So far I lost 110 pounds. 40 to go. I went from being fat sick and almost dead to overweight and fit. Ignoring the B.S. and continuing my fight against obesity and disease. I will NEVER quit!! I will reach my goals.
I love your Greek cup mug- where did you find it?
I changed my body size. First off I want to say I was always active growing up and played sports. Fast forward to my adult life......well life happens and all I did was work and work some more. A lot of times I would have to eat on the go or grab something quick, fast food. So my heaviest was 245 at 5’9”. Not a tall guy so it showed a lot that I gained a lot of weight. I woke up one morning and hated who I saw in the mirror. I would get tired easy or run out of breath easy and had zero control of my eating habits. So finally I said to myself enough. I started researching on diet plans and meals plans and learned about what foods and how much I should have. And that is the key getting the knowledge! Then I started to go out for a walk for about a mile. There was no way I could go out for a run or light jog so walked with my 2 dogs, they helped a lot, walked for a mile until I got comfortable with it and then went for 2 miles then 3 miles then the most amazing thing happened.......I started to notice changes on my face I noticed that I was excited to go for those walks right after work. Then people would tell me “hey ivan you’re looking good bud” that alone gave me the confidence to start running again. I use to run a lot as a kid and in sports. So I started running. I’d wake up at 4:45am to be on the road at 5 for a 4.5 mile run and be done by 6 and be well and ready to go to work by 7. I did that 5 to 6 times a week eventually 4.5 miles got too easy and started finding new routs and would do 6 mile runs and finally challenged myself to do 10 mile runs. I started logging 70 miles a week. It took me 2 yrs to get to this point. It wasn’t easy. But I went from 245lbs to 175 lbs. about 2 months ago I started to lift weights and really focused on my leg and core muscles, hip flexors , and glutes to strengthen them to get faster have more endurance and to be blatantly honest to look good. I’m at 190 lbs now with about 12% body fat. And I love love love to run.I feel amazing at 37 yrs old and being able to run as much as I can. Now when people find out or ask how old I am they are shocked. Saying damn You look 25 or 20 something. It’s also nice when a 20 something yr old girl winks at you too.
So yes having the will to change my habits and putting in the hard work and dedication has changed my life around for the better. I never want to go back to the 245 lb guy.
I always thought you should love yourself while changing for the better
Went from over 200lbs down to 120lbs. It took me over 2 years, but I did it! Just did small lifestyle changes. I have always been a chubbier girl. I have definitely seen people "deciding" that I have always been a certain size or there's just no way I was that big, but little do they know. Hard work paid off and I feel sooooooo much better!!
3 days before i gave birth i was weighing in at 210. I have never been over 200 lbs before and the thought that suddenly I am was beyond terrifying. After giving birth I have been working my ass off trying to lose it all. I change the reasons why I want to be fitter all the time. From just to look hot, to be able to keep up wirh my kid, to not die young, to finally being strong enough to keep my kid and I safe. Its been 3 years and im not going to give up and when i reach my goal I'll just keep and make sure i remain fit and healthy. My fit and healthy is different from others fit and healthy. Doesnt stop me from being fit and healthy. I want my kid to see that taking care of yourself is beyond important.
I've definitely changed my body size. When I was born I was 9lbs of cubby baby but growing up I was lean. I stayed 117lbs into my mid-twenties. I never understood how unhealthy my eating was despite being incredibly athletic. Then I was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes and was hit square in the face with how poor my eating habits were.
I lost myself at that time and, despite learning a little about food, I went from 117lbs to 215lbs in about 7 years. That's when I knew I needed help so I started listening to Michelle McDaniels, Alan Roberts, John and led me to join the SwoleFam. In less than a year I've changed my life around. I'm back in the 100s for weight and feeling better than I remember for so long.
I went from Obese III to me Obese I and still losing weight. Body size can be changed and you'll feel better doing it.
Omg I die with his #what ever the f##k that means 🤣😅
Here I go to the new video
I changed my body size. I had a double lung transplant and put on twenty lbs of healthy weight, I needed it. Now, I love working out with my new lungs.
I gained weight as I started over eating due to so many things going on. My own health issues and being the only person my daughter had to support her through her mental health including self harm and thoughts of taking her own life. If I don't care for me I cannot truly care for her. I have to look after me and there is only so much I can do to support her. I have lost 10kg this year and am working towards losing the other 10kg I gained.
Gotta answer! At 45 changed my size from 13 to 6 through exercise. Even though my diet was always pretty healthy, my BMI was not. PS always enjoy your attitude!
I have changed my size & it’s worth all of the intense work. It’s not easy. No one ever said it was. It is easy to blame others or say that others must have amazing genetics. Perspective is this amazing thing that if you look through the lense of owning your own stuff, you can then step up to the challenge of changing your size. You have to own it & mean it.
At my heaviest I was 260lbs. I’ve worked hard to get down to 229. I’m not where I want to be but it’s a hell of a lot better than where I was. I’m at the point now it’s taken over a month to get from 233 to 229, but I can see my dimpled ass smoothing out. I can see muscle where there was once only jingle.
I hate when I say something about being fat and someone says, “You’re beautiful!” I don’t double that I have a “pretty face”, but I didn’t say I wasn’t a nice person or that parts of me aren’t nice to look at. I said I’m fat! I have too much gut and too much ass!
I’m glad I found Papa Swolio! He speaks my language.
Changing my weight helped me so much, I was very underweight and now I have gained healthy among of weight from eating more protein and weightlifting
She’s lives in San Francisco. I live in San Francisco. It’s painful 💀
maybe you know some one who can deliver her some nasty unicorn :D Look like she need it
I’ve change my body size by exercising and watching what I eat. I’m healthier, have more energy, and on top of that I look great! It’s something I will continue to do to live a long and healthy life
I'm trying to change my body. Not even fat. Just want to feel better mentally and physically. And the mental part is already improving.
I'm 5'9 was almost 300lbs! Got to working out and I've managed to loose 40lbs small goals can go a long way I'm currently I'm 252. Hope to get to 200lbs if possible more but I'll when I get to that goal. And it's about discipline small steps as long as you keep at it'll be fine.
I ~have~ changed my life. I ~have~ changed my body size. These HAES people are mental. I’ve lost over 130 lbs and ~have~ kept it off for over 20 YEARS!! No health issues now...but before...it was a pre cursor to a life of suffering. I’m happy at ‘my size’ and no...it’s not a privilege. It was earned. Everyday I pay the ‘bank’ with sick gains!!! 💪🏻
I still struggle with food. I also still refuse to go back to struggling to put on shoes unless I get pregnant. I know what will get me diabetes and I know what will keep me off meds and without having high blood pressure. I like mobility over curves. I’d rather be called skinny than shapely if it means I live a stronger quality of life. Yes baked good are my coke but I wanna live so I choose to. And I’ve worked hard for this body and I’m proud! Fit privilege

Describes it perfectly LOL. Double the cake!
Does she need to see my before and after pictures? From UK size 14 to 10.
Congrats!
you can't show those, they're triggering and flaunting your thin privilege. XD
great job!
apparently i'm part of the less than 1%. i feel very privileged.
I went from 184lbs to 125lbs. I had just crossed from overweight to obese according to my BMI. I felt like shit, not just mentally but physically. Everything became more difficult and uncomfortable (not to mention the health problems; high blood pressure, abnormal ekg’s) I had never been overweight until I hit my 30’s. I think maybe people who have always been overweight don’t realize how much harder it makes your life. Some of these women think we are just haters, but the truth is a lot of us know what it’s like to be overweight and how much better your life is when you get it under control. Your quality of life is so much better, and if it makes us bad people to want that for everyone, so be it. I guess I’m a bad person.
You just make great content every time. I love whatching your videos... 'cause you are so damn right (every fucking time) 💪😎
