I realised I forgot to write them! The spices are 2 tsps ground cumin, 2 tsp ground coriander, 2 tsp cinnamon, 2 tsp ground tumeric and I added a touch of chilli powder. For the dumpling mixture you just drop around a tablespoon of the mixture into the simmering soup and they will puff up and cook in around 5 minutes. x
@@lucylismore Why didn't you add it to the description after realizing this? Adding what you wrote here to the pinned comment also works. There are probably 70 comments here with people asking for the spices and parts of the recipe that are missing, and more (like me) will show up over the years, just fyi. Your answer here that I am replying to is extremely buried. That being said, I'm really looking forwards to trying out this recipe. Thanks!
Thank you for your comments! I didn't realise the comment wasn't pinned but have just done it after seeing your comment! Thank you so so much, I really hope you enjoy the recipe! xx
My elder mom was obese most of her adult life. She spent thousands on diets, and Weight Watchers. I was stuck w/ her during Covid, I eat healthy (long-time healthy vegan) and did the cooking, she went from 2-3x to size16 and has maintained it. We learned much of her health issues were solved by not eating dairy. She has muscles for the first time, she can kayak, and she had a healthy colonoscopy. Learning to eat healthy as a lifestyle is the best investment in our health. It is wonderful you were able to make this change at a young age. My siblings have diseases from their lifestyle choices. Great video.
That idea of having a fruit tea after dinner, giving you time to properly about whether you actually want a pudding, is a stroke of genius! I always crave something sweet after dinner. It's too late for me to try this tonight 😋 but I'll definitely give it a go tomorrow! x
I had tea last night... definitely helps... especially now that it's cooler... tea gives me a warm happy feeling after dinner and I think that's what we looking for. Now to actually make it a habit;)
For years and years I’ve watched fitness videos and never actually come away feeling that motivated or that I could relate to the influencers at all. This is the best most realistic weight loss video I’ve ever watched. So so clear in what you are saying and I just feel brilliant and that I can do this after watching so.. thank you ☺️💗
❤️❤️❤️ this gave me goosebumps thank you so much! I could ask for anything more and this is why I do what I do!! Thank you so so much for taking the time to write this comment, you’ve put a huge smile on my face!! Xxxxx

Hello everyone, I hope you all are doing great! I have worked as a personal trainer since 2019 and now I have started my youtube channel as I want to help more and more people achieving their goals. I do mostly home workouts and all the exercises that I post are proven and their results are very pleasing. I would appreciate a lot your support by subscribing and maybe you will find something that may help you as well.
I felt the same way as did many other of you guys liking this post, so much so that I paused it at the 17:32 mark and called a friend to share that same sentiment. It pretty much knocked down the walls standing in the way by simply scrubbing all your graffiti “knowledge,” of all the expert advice, to a four word phrase a child can comprehend, “Move More, Eat Less.” Your tips offered were as simple, but brilliant!! It was positive from beginning to I’m sure the end cause it’s still paused, but I’ve been on the move!!
"When you're starting out, there is no right work out for fat loss" love it! No need to procrastinate by looking for the best exercise then I suppose, just get on with it. The best common sense I've heard about starting to work out. x
I did NOT expect to get so encouraged. I have been feeling so down and frustrated about my weight. As a stay at home mom who homeschools, I couldn’t figure it out for 3 years now. But like you said “keep it simple, enjoy your life, enjoy the process”, ugh! So deep and awesome. Everything you said just resonated with my current situation. I am truly, deeply encouraged to make a change, TODAY. Thank you Lucy. 🥺🙏🏽💓
This makes me so full of happiness!! I just know you’ve got this 🫶🏻!!! Enjoy the process is the big one because the goal post will keep moving forever so enjoy every little awesome thing you do each day. That’s the stuff you’ll look back and and smile at 🥰❤️❤️❤️❤️
Out of dozens and dozens of CZcams videos, i honestly love this the most! A lot of what you said, my doctor told me as well. Like smaller portions but sticking to what you like, and it doesn’t matter what exercise you do walking is perfectly fine and underrated! So not only was this very informative, but it was honest and good advice. ♥️
Your journey is so similar to mine (which just started this spring). I lost 10 kg without actually making difficult changes. One day, the famous switch flipped and I started exercising 5 times a week and making better choices about what I eat (portion sizes, more fruits and veggies, no meat). And now here I am, still loving to exercise, feeling better than ever and I'm very close to finally manage a toe push-up. I'm so much more confident and even my lipedema can't get me down anymore.
Thanks Lucy! You've been one of my biggest inspirations since the beginning and your videos have given me the much needed confidence that I could do this. ❤️

I'll keep coming here to get motivation and keep y'all updated😊: Start: 74.4kg, 160cm (18 January 2023) Goal: 55kg💪 Update:70kg (25th March- Stopped going to gym for about 2 months, will start soon hopefully)
I love that you added that after the weight loss, you continue to have fluctuations. I think that is so important to recognize and understand. Life changes and body changes happen and that is normal. People who have never been overweight have fluxuations. They happen with even small life changes. It shouldn’t result in a panic and worry.
I found that when I set any goals or expectations and a timeframe to reach them - no matter how high or low those expectations are; or how long or short of a period of time that is, I just can't shed that excess weight. Then in time I realized it's because I get stressed and feel pressure and my body literally locks itself. When I decided I didn't care if I lose weight or not, and I knew that somewhere along the way I surely would, I just wanted to make healthier choices for my body, then I started seeing results and quick ones, mind you. Its exactly like you said in this video. Sometimes, less is more.
@@AC-iw5mv Definitely! I went to a dietician years ago to lose the weight, I was so determined and after 3 months (and I was soooo hungry, all the time!)all I could lose was barely 5 kgs. My dietician was so disappointed and absolutely sure that I was eating pizza and hamburgers in secret :) Now, I'm never hungry and lost 8 kgs in 2 months. I believe its just the way we treat our body that makes the difference. Nutrition over calories, compassion over harsh expectations.

This is a life process. Don’t ever feel defeated just pick up what you learned throughout trial and error and eventually you’ll have your personal plan to stay fit. 🥂🥳 You can do it just take it little by little each day. Change comes with consistency and imagining yourself being the best you. ❤️
I really love this video. Thanks for showing healthy and sustainable ways of getting fit and healthy. I'm currently on my own fitness and weightloss journey and I'm down 11kg in 4 months. It's all about portion control, making healthier versions of your meals, moving a little bit more and just adjusting here and there. Another thing that has helped me is NSV (non-scale victories) like pushing through a workout, being less tired, feeling better, clothes fitting looser, ... . And most important thing: there is no bad food/food groups ... you can eat carbs, you can have dessert, you can eat pizza. It's all about portion control, making healthier versions of your meals, moving a little bit more and just adjusting here and there - NO restriction!

What you just described applies to relatively metabolically healthy people and who are not utterly addicted to (bad) carbs/sugar. Know thyself. Are you a moderator, or should you be an abstainer? Great example: moderators can buy a bag of chips or cookies. Then have a few and come back later so late that your treat has gone stale. However people that need to be abstainers are those that buy the same treat, but find that they've consumed it all in a rapid period of time. Or if trying to moderate your consumption of it is like psychological torture...
You're so genuinely POSITIVE! Not the "fake" positive kind of vibe just to make us believe it's possible ❤️ I especially love how happily u showed us the loose skin and stretch marks, without any shame and that just made me CLAP 👏👏👏 Nobody should be ashamed of loose skin or stretch marks. They r natural and tell a story of their own and they're much better than being unhealthy and unhappy with your body that always feels tired and worn out (I am not fat shaming, this is not that. If u feel great in ur current body then I applaud u bcos ur indeed b e a u t i f u l and doing something I can't at my current state 👏🍷💜) Great video 🥂
I've gained some weight due to stressful events in life (went up by 2 sizes) and so I've been watching a lot of these kind of videos of people who lost weight. Your are probably the first person I've watched who seems to have a very healthy (both physically and mentally) approach to weight loss. It's very inspiring and it feels close to my heart. I also feel that if I start with just small changes of behaviour, I'll be able to maintain it better in a long term. Thank you for sharing this video and your journey!
Really appreciate you Lucy! This year I finally just took the uncomplicated approach that you share and have lost body fat over a sustained period of time. I feel so proud of this slow + consistent approach. It honestly doesn’t feel super difficult because I was just eating the same foods, just making small switches so I hardly felt different while I lived a normal life. Some days I ate way more than normal, like at a fam dinner or gathering etc. but I didn’t stress about it. Over 9 months I’ve lost 14 pounds and I feel really good about that. Not too fast, not too slow. Not always consistent but that’s life. Thanks for all the info you put out. It’s very helpful to the rest of us that haven’t studied nutrition science! 🧡😘

I’ve come across your video by chance. I’m 52 I had always been in a gorgeous physical shape until I reached 45 then something changed and I’m now probably 10/15 kg overweight. I keep saying “Tomorrow!!” But it never happens. You’re lovely and inspiring. I hope this is the right time to start. You are simply amazing, so balanced and wise. Adorable xxx
Same with me - looked at my body and didn't recognize it. Cut down to fo meals per day - 12pm and 4pm and lost a stone so far, better but going for another one. Hope you are doing ok x
This feels a lot like intuitive eating which is wonderful. You didn't force yourself to eat a big breakfast because you weren't hungry, you ate something that was filling and delicious for lunch and then you allowed food that you loved and craved. No wonder that worked for you because that is very sustainable
I'm 55, been disabled since birth and in a wheelchair for a few years now. Entering menopause too... Been seeing my blood work getting worse over the last 2 years and also gained weight above what has been my upper "limit" before hand. I live with a hubby who loves to snack and has no intention of doing anything healthy to get off or reduce his multiple meds for blood pressure, cholesterol, etc, even after multiple heart issues he's had. But I've decided that at my age I don't want to become like him and have 6 meds a day to keep my blood work looking 'good'. I have about 20-25 kilos to lose but I'm not going to go nuts about it. Small, gradual changes that will work for me is the way to go as well as finding more physical activity that I will enjoy. If it takes a year or two - that's fine with me. Thanks for your words and inspiration. You're the first that managed to do that! :)
I’m checking in on you 2 years later to see if you took the bull by the horns and shed some weight off to get your health where you wanted. I hope so! Your comment reached me in the U.S. I wish you all that is happy, healthy, successful, safe and protected! I hope your husband is well, as well.
Thank you Lucy, today is my first day in diet after the "lightbulb moment". I lost 25kg and gained them back the last couple of years, so here I am back on track. Your video is very realistic.
@allthingseve That's the problem with diets. The weight will always come back. I did that too and the moment I stopped dieting the weight was coming back with a vengence and more. Now I changed what I eat and I don't need to died anymore. My weight shifts 3pounds up and down, but I don't need to worry that I will gain 15 pounds in 2 weeks. Best of luck to you. You can check Chef AJ an all her guests, that might give you some god ideas too.

You can definitely do this. Don’t forget this is a lifestyle change, not monthly change. 🫶🏽 Don’t feel defeated, just pick up the keys you’ve gained from trial and error and eventually you will have your meal plan down packed, your workout plan down packed. Change something little by little. Baby steps and build that momentum and one day it’ll just be in your nature to make good choices without thought. 🥳🥂
Make small adjustments and take your time! It took me almost a year to lose 8 kg I put on but I was losing about 1kg per month or month and a half. Don't restrict yourself and try to move your bofy whenever you can. You can do this!
You are spot on. The exercise is an acceleration for what you’re already doing with just the right diet/ deficit. The kind of exercise doesn’t matter, as long as you’re active, you’ll lose fat faster. Also you lose fat EVERYWHERE, not just one place. You can’t just target your stomach or just your arms, because it’s doesn’t burn in one place of the body. It’s burns all over. ❤️✨ keep up the great advice!

I watched so many videos about loosing weight, and every single one of them made me feel terrible. I don't want to compromise and avoid eating and going out with friends. I want to enjoy my life and have a healthy body. This video made me feel safe, and made me realize that loosing weight is a long journey and not only being strict with rules and obsess about every calorie. Thank you so much.
Oh my word, this is so what I needed to hear! I’ve struggled with my weight for years and it’s so easy to get overwhelmed by the amount of marketing and social media rubbish telling you you must do this or that. This often made me give up before I’d even started. To hear someone giving no nonsense sensible and sustainable advice is so refreshing. Thank you!
Love how you made this really relatable with eating real food and not “Instagram” types meals. If I can lose weight and still eat fajitas I’m in! Lol currently on week two and haven’t seen much progress. Your video has given the motivation to keep going! 😃

Thank you so much for your story ! This was so motivating for me, I’ve had a rough couple of year went from being super fit to gaining back all my weight + more. I’m definitely a new subscriber here, I think it’s more encouraging also when I see people who get the weight loss struggle and know the feeling of being heavy & unhealthy. My you reminded me of so many things I know but just either couldn’t remember (which is so weird) or didn’t focus on. You’re a gem 💎 and I thank you so much !!!
Awww thank you so much Jill! It means so much to me that you can relate to my story and that it helps you in some way! I really hope the new year and beyond is more positive for you, I’m right behind you 💕💕💕
I love your relaxed attitude to weight loss, I feel it is exactly the key to turn what seems to be a struggle for most of us into a pleasant and enjoyable life style. Congratulations!
wow we have the same exact story growing up gaining the weight! i don’t think i’ve ever watched someone that i can fully relate to their story but i can with yours! i lost 50lbs in the last year & am working on another 30 or so more!
I love your energy! Super inspirational. I love how you focus on how quickly the weight will drop once you get into a rhythm. Thats the hard part for most people.
Thank you Lucy! I’ve always hated wanting to go to the gym because it would hurt or make me anxious and was always so nervous to even step on the treadmill. And my diet is horrible rn and I always watch videos of other fitness guru and their GRWM videos and it would be so unrealistic?! But after watching with this video I feel so.. motivated!!
I’m a Moroccan and it took quite some time to recognize the lunch dish. We don’t call it soup though but close enough! Really recommend it, it’s delicious
14:19 Hi! I'm a nutrition counselor & personal chef. Calories is not the way to figure out if something is nutritionally beneficial for your body. The more natural & less processed the food source, the more nutrients it contains. Counting calories is not the way to find out if something is more nutritious. For example, 1 cup of coke is 100 calories , while 1 cup of almonds is 547 calories. Obviously, there's nothing to compare because coke would not be considered nutrient dense, while almonds are and contain many vitamins, minerals, fiber, protein, and healthy fats even though they are more calorie dense. (Not that 1 cup of almonds is a normal serving size, but it makes the point clearer.) Nutrient dense foods also keep you fuller for longer, as opposed to a chocolate bar and a diet soft drink. Of course, enjoy the fun foods in moderation, but don't say they are replacing/ better for you than a nutritious granola bar.
Your video is really recommendable realistic and sustainable. To be honest this is the first video that I actually finished watching through the end. The most important thing is I can see your happiness genuinely shines through your face all the times when you are talking. This helps confirm that I am in the right place.😊
I love everything about this video. Every seconds of it were insightful and enjoyable to watch. Thank you, Lucy! Wish us luck with our journey! Stay fab and healthy
I'm trying to lose weight after having my second daughter almost 4 years ago. I used to be incredibly strong will powered and careful about what I ate and would eat really healthy and I was a good weight. I lost all that after having two kids. I'm trying to get back into it now and watching this video has seriously made me think I can really do this. You've given me hope for the first time in years. Thank you
Dear Lucy, I was 146kg around 5 years ago. I began my weight loss journey in 2018 and lost 40kg by early 2020. I was super disciplined with myself and I became so much happier. I was hooked with kick boxing and I went to the gym 5 times a week. By then Covid happened but I tried to stay consistent as possible. Unfortunately I went into a mental breakdown due to multiple lockdowns and succumbed to overeating again. It’s 2023 and I am now 136kg, I gained so much of weight. I became in denial but it struck me hard when the clothes that was loose on me are now super tight again. I am currently struggling to get back on track... came across your channel and it made me realised that I should not procrastinate and should give it a serious go again. Easier said than done but I’m not getting any younger, my family and friends are living their best lives now. I must find my mojo again... thank you Lucy. Love your story on your weight loss journey . If anyone is reading this and you’re struggling like me... PLEASE DON’T GIVE UP ON YOUR WEIGHT LOSS JOURNEY
I started to cry when you said your weight has fluctuated about 10kg since. My goal weight is 60kg and I was at 60.5 two weeks ago, but today i weigh 62 kg. I panicked and I feel so bad. Thank you so much for saying that.
I must say, your video is one of the most realistic videos I've seen so far. I learned so much with this video and you truly gave me the 'click' I needed! ♥️♥️♥️
I love how your changes are realistic, satiating, and fun. I’m so excited to make your Morroccon soup! New subscriber ❤️ I’m trying to lose 10 lbs and it’s been SO HARD! You’re so motivating. Thank you!
I hardly ever comment on CZcams, but I must say this. I listened to this while driving today and whne I got home I started peeling vegetables to make soup. It's Wednesday night and my lunch soup is prepared, my oats for the breakfast is soaked. Alarm set for my workout. I workout and can be consistent with that but always struggle with food.
Thank you for the inspiration! I wanted to say that I have psoriasis too and I found that I could completely get rid of it by eliminating these 4 things from my diet (it’s a little tough, but I swear it works): 1. Sugar-huge trigger 2. Refined carbohydrates (bread, crackers, cereals, any baked goods, most flours, processed foods, etc.)-also a huge trigger 3. Refined vegetable oils (use extra virgin olive oil, avocado oil, coconut oil instead) and 4. Alcohol. After years of experimenting and eliminating, I know what triggers my psoriasis to break out now. I find I do well with substituting sweet things with fruit, stevia in my teas, and I still eat chocolate but I get dark chocolate with as little sugar as possible, sometimes even no sugar at all. Just thought I’d share that with you in case you’ve never associated psoriasis with diet. It’s definitely dietary inflammation related.
Thank you for the reminders and setting me back on track... sometimes I loose my way and need these kind of videos to get me back on track. Keep them coming... makes it feel more real and we all human and there will be bumps along the way!

I’m addicted to your videos! I love how open minded you are when it comes to food, the flexibility in the process… your accent and your smile! I’m super motivated and binge watch your videos while training, walking and cooking! Thank you!!!! 😍 (1 month since my big realization and life change and already -5kg!!! 🥳)
I like how you make everything realistic and... Doable? Like all fit people tell you about how much you have to cut all things like chocolate, or that you MUST lift weights if you want to change, etc. I feel so bad with the fact that I gained in only two years around 8 kilos I cannot lose and it's devastating. But you make me feel like it's not a failure on my part, life happens. I feel a bit more motivated after watching this, and I will continue my journey consistently but without torturing myself. Thank you 😭🙏
Came through this video at the absolute right time! Your story is the most realistic one I ever came across.. thanks for convincing us that it’s achieavable ❤️
Great video! I lost about 15 kg and it took me 1,5 years. I did no sport at all but changed the way I eat completely. Many things you said in the video reminded me of my journey especially the sweet drink story you shared. I drank softdrinks all the time. So I started to mix them with a third of water, then half and half and then I only drank water because all of a sudden all these sweet drinks were too sweet for my taste. I ate more non produced food and vegetables and didn't have my candy plate around all the time. ;-) Every week sometimes month I wrote dowm my weight and that's it. I still enjoyed my sweet treats like chocolate, cake but I was more aware of the portions like you explained. Many years later I gained a few kilos again so I will do the same what I did back then. I think it was easy for me because I wasn't browsing the internet to get confused by all the false advertising. I simply did what I could and was succesful. Everyone can do it!

Thank you for genuinely making losing and maintaining weight so much less daunting. I'm always up and down, but lately have struggled going back down. With your channel, I've been making small changes more and more and am happy with even my tiny weight loss because I know it's a longterm thing for me now. So, thank you! Slowly but surely 😌

I've been trying this route for the past few weeks, eating healthier, moving more... My only challenge is that I don't really believe I'll lose the weight so it's hard to keep going.
This has been so helpful you’re the first person I’ve come across so far whose day to day life is similar to mine so it’s a bit easier to envision myself doing this🥰
Both versions of yourself are absolutely beautiful, but I’m glad for you that you found what makes you happy and healthy, both mentally and physically. ❤
I really hope this video helps to show that it doesn’t have to be as hard as it sometimes seems in the crazy world of health and fitness nowadays. It really is a life long process 🥰. If you want to grab anything in the Gymshark Black Friday I greatly appreciate your support: gym.sh/Lucy-Lismore-YT ❤️❤️
Hey Lucy just discovered you recently and really enjoying watching your CZcams clips! I can’t seem to find the recipe for your Moroccan chicken, please are you apply to post it? Thanks
Thank you for this video! It's way too easy to give up if you don't see progress right away. Like you said, you gotta be consistent. Change will come! Your stretch marks look really cool, btw! ✨💕

Thank you for an amazing video! I am a lot older than you and am trying to shift 10KG but because of my age, it is proving hard. I will take some of your advice and see how it goes. Keep up the good work!
Thank you so much for sharing your personal journey. I am so grateful for all of the information. I never even considered soup as a hearty to-go meal, and it seems so easy to prepare and take with you. One of the biggest struggles is being so busy that I forget my lunch and end up eating out, and then I just relapse into bad eating habits again. Your video has helped me feel less alone and lost.
You are genuinely honest and not promoting anything the right way and true I appreciate it and that way will listen to your encouragement and subscribe.
Lucy, I love your vibe! I have recommitted to losing weight recently, and want to lose enough to wear my size 14 pants. It is cold and snowy right now, but I am walking in the basement, and working out on the elliptical trainer. Looking forward to watching more of your videos!!😊
You're beautiful , well spoken, kind and humble in your approach. Congratulations on your weigh loss and thank you for your thorough explanation really helpful
This is the best and most relatable weight loss video ever! I was in a very similar situation as you, always had a little chub and then moved abroad alone and had no idea what calories were and why I kept gaining weight. I think my epiphany moment was similar to yours but for me, it was after I attended my annual physical (mandatory in Japan) where they said I was obese. Of course, Japan has different BMI standards for obesity than the west but since I’m East Asian, I figured their analysis of my overall health was probably more accurate than what my doctors in Canada would say. At my heaviest, I might have been 145lbs/67kg (which was quite big for an East Asian woman, only 5’2/158cm in height). Now I’m 103lbs/47kg and I’ve mostly kept the weight off these last 10 years. As you said, I chose to do an exercise I enjoyed and was comfortable with and for me, that was walking. Getting off the train a few stops early to get to work and at the end of the day to get home. I probably just walked an accumulative 1.5hours per day. And again, like you said, I made sure to go out of my way to add in a little extra activity throughout the day. I always took the stairs at the train stations and would volunteer to fetch something on the 3rd floor for a colleague. The biggest change was the food I ate but like you, it was mostly just portion control. I ate kara’age (Japanese fried chicken) nearly every night for dinner (just 2-3 ping-pong ball size pieces) but I would pair it with half a bowl of brown rice and half a plate full of sautéed spinach. As you said, I needed something to treat myself and look forward to every day otherwise all of my efforts would just feel like too much and I was afraid of falling off the wagon. These days, to maintain my weight, I do a cardio workout everyday but never interval training or anything that is too physically challenging. I have good cardio endurance (could run a 1/4 marathon) but can’t do much with my arms. But it’s sustainable for me which is why I’ve stuck to it. I also still indulge every day. I enjoy a chocolate chip cookie with a sugar-free latte pretty much every day. If I overindulge with a larger cinnamon bun or something really naughty like chips, I just make sure I eat less for dinner or I write it off as a bad day and aim to do better the next. I’m trying not to be too fussy about calories (although it’s hard not to weight my food) and I just make sure that my meals are vegetable dense even though I’m adding cream and butter to my mashed potatoes.
I remember first time when i decided to lose weight. I was walking in city and seen my reflection in one of store window. And then in hit me i had to do something that time i was 17 years old and already on 100kg. I lost like 18kg that time, stop working out for almost 7 years after i get to university. And now im back on my journey for year and half and more serious about it then ever. Now im first time in my life at state when im intetionaly adding more callories to my diet, call it lean bulking, to gain more muscels. Btw great video and great tips for someone who starting with his/her fitness jurney.
Awww wow, you are the perfect example of the journey. It really is a lifelong journey and rarely thought of like that!!! Well done for everything you have achieved and I just know you are going to achieve anything you put your mind to! Thank you for the feedback and I am so happy you agree! xxx
Thank you for being so healthy about weightloss. Diet culture has taken over much of the internet and it is refreshing to watch your well rounded approach (: you also seem so sweet and positive. (:

Thank you so much for sharing your story! I am 50 now and really hope, that it is not to late, to finally make a change for good, too. So fingers crossed 🤞😊
Wow, I just watched your psoriasis video, and out of curiosity decided to check out your channel. I'd NEVER have guessed you had been overweight! Congratulations!!
Love this so much!!! You’ve done so well and achieved so much. I’m on the same path but quite different at the same time. I started mine because I had gut issues and I’ve been off gluten, eggs, soy, dairy, peanuts, sugar. I’m getting slimmer every week, and I’m still getting used to these changes in the program. Now that the inflammation is down I can actually function like a normal human being. There are definitely tips in your videos I want to use, the exercise was very helpful so I’m looking forward to trying it. Overall enjoyed watching your journey.

I just discovered your channel because I was looking for some beginner advice for calisthenics. My goal is too lose some weight and start calisthenics but in the past few weeks I only was watching countless of youtube videos about that but not actually doing something. I watched a few of your videos now and they motivated me to ACTUALLY do something and do some exercises! So, thank you!
Thank you for posting this video. You broke it down so real and simple that it helps all of us. I know I have over complicated my journey. This seems more doable breaking it down in small changes and keep finding ways to improve without changing too much at one time.

Thank you for speaking on how long it took you to start seeing results. It's been 2.5 months for me and I really haven't lost more than 4-5 lbs. It's really hard to see that on my body and really hard to keep pushing when I'm not SEEING changes. I know I feel so much better overall, and that's what I'm hanging onto right now.
I was the same but I’ve found logging my calorie intake on My Fitness Pal has helped keep me on track and I’ve slowly lost 10lbs in 2 months. Also walking every other day if not doing a CZcams hitt workout

This was so refreshing to see! Thank oh for sharing. It was wonderful to see that you didn’t change your lifestyle you just implemented healthier choices and reeled in the portions, such an incredibly healthy shift and journey to improve your health! You go girl!
Lucy, this video is so uplifting. Small changes, enjoying food, doing what suits me personally. When you talk about this, I feel that I can do it, too. Thank you! 💗
What are the spices you added and what did you do with the dumpling mixture?
I realised I forgot to write them! The spices are 2 tsps ground cumin, 2 tsp ground coriander, 2 tsp cinnamon, 2 tsp ground tumeric and I added a touch of chilli powder. For the dumpling mixture you just drop around a tablespoon of the mixture into the simmering soup and they will puff up and cook in around 5 minutes. x
@@lucylismore Why didn't you add it to the description after realizing this? Adding what you wrote here to the pinned comment also works. There are probably 70 comments here with people asking for the spices and parts of the recipe that are missing, and more (like me) will show up over the years, just fyi. Your answer here that I am replying to is extremely buried.
That being said, I'm really looking forwards to trying out this recipe. Thanks!
Thank you for your comments! I didn't realise the comment wasn't pinned but have just done it after seeing your comment! Thank you so so much, I really hope you enjoy the recipe! xx
Hi! How much chicken did you use? :)
@@fiddleronthenet3360 damn the entitlement in your comment is crazy, she’s giving this knowledge for free, be grateful
My elder mom was obese most of her adult life. She spent thousands on diets, and Weight Watchers. I was stuck w/ her during Covid, I eat healthy (long-time healthy vegan) and did the cooking, she went from 2-3x to size16 and has maintained it. We learned much of her health issues were solved by not eating dairy. She has muscles for the first time, she can kayak, and she had a healthy colonoscopy. Learning to eat healthy as a lifestyle is the best investment in our health. It is wonderful you were able to make this change at a young age. My siblings have diseases from their lifestyle choices. Great video.
Wow. God Bless you for serving your mother in this way. This is such a touching story.
@@anopinion9830 Thank you for the kind words. Good day (have one, create one)
What a gift for you both
What foods would you cook breakfast at lunch dinner?
Ánimo y muchas felicidades a tu mami y a seguir échandole ganas. Bravoooooo 👏👏👏👏👏
That idea of having a fruit tea after dinner, giving you time to properly about whether you actually want a pudding, is a stroke of genius! I always crave something sweet after dinner. It's too late for me to try this tonight 😋 but I'll definitely give it a go tomorrow! x
Ohhhh awesome, so glad you liked the idea! Let me know how you find it xxx
Agree ! Dessert is my struggle so even if I just have tea a few nights a week that would help :)
wont fruit after dinner make you bloated because it will takes ages to digest, releasing lots of gas in the process
I had tea last night... definitely helps... especially now that it's cooler... tea gives me a warm happy feeling after dinner and I think that's what we looking for.
Now to actually make it a habit;)
Celestial seasonings has a great line of fruity teas. I like to mix them
For years and years I’ve watched fitness videos and never actually come away feeling that motivated or that I could relate to the influencers at all. This is the best most realistic weight loss video I’ve ever watched. So so clear in what you are saying and I just feel brilliant and that I can do this after watching so.. thank you ☺️💗
❤️❤️❤️ this gave me goosebumps thank you so much! I could ask for anything more and this is why I do what I do!! Thank you so so much for taking the time to write this comment, you’ve put a huge smile on my face!! Xxxxx

Start fasting you will see how easy it is to lose weight
Hello everyone, I hope you all are doing great!
I have worked as a personal trainer since 2019 and now I have started my youtube channel as I want to help more and more people achieving their goals.
I do mostly home workouts and all the exercises that I post are proven and their results are very pleasing.
I would appreciate a lot your support by subscribing and maybe you will find something that may help you as well.
I felt the same way as did many other of you guys liking this post, so much so that I paused it at the 17:32 mark and called a friend to share that same sentiment. It pretty much knocked down the walls standing in the way by simply scrubbing all your graffiti “knowledge,” of all the expert advice, to a four word phrase a child can comprehend, “Move More, Eat Less.” Your tips offered were as simple, but brilliant!! It was positive from beginning to I’m sure the end cause it’s still paused, but I’ve been on the move!!
"When you're starting out, there is no right work out for fat loss" love it! No need to procrastinate by looking for the best exercise then I suppose, just get on with it. The best common sense I've heard about starting to work out. x
I did NOT expect to get so encouraged. I have been feeling so down and frustrated about my weight. As a stay at home mom who homeschools, I couldn’t figure it out for 3 years now. But like you said “keep it simple, enjoy your life, enjoy the process”, ugh! So deep and awesome. Everything you said just resonated with my current situation. I am truly, deeply encouraged to make a change, TODAY. Thank you Lucy. 🥺🙏🏽💓
This makes me so full of happiness!! I just know you’ve got this 🫶🏻!!! Enjoy the process is the big one because the goal post will keep moving forever so enjoy every little awesome thing you do each day. That’s the stuff you’ll look back and and smile at 🥰❤️❤️❤️❤️
How has this been for you? I'm a stay at home mom of 2. Have you made any changes?
Out of dozens and dozens of CZcams videos, i honestly love this the most!
A lot of what you said, my doctor told me as well. Like smaller portions but sticking to what you like, and it doesn’t matter what exercise you do walking is perfectly fine and underrated!
So not only was this very informative, but it was honest and good advice. ♥️
Your journey is so similar to mine (which just started this spring). I lost 10 kg without actually making difficult changes. One day, the famous switch flipped and I started exercising 5 times a week and making better choices about what I eat (portion sizes, more fruits and veggies, no meat). And now here I am, still loving to exercise, feeling better than ever and I'm very close to finally manage a toe push-up. I'm so much more confident and even my lipedema can't get me down anymore.
Heck yesss! Such an inspiration, well done!!! You are killing it! 🤩😍
Thanks Lucy! You've been one of my biggest inspirations since the beginning and your videos have given me the much needed confidence that I could do this. ❤️

And what's the problem with eating meat?
I'll keep coming here to get motivation and keep y'all updated😊:
Start: 74.4kg, 160cm (18 January 2023)
Goal: 55kg💪
Update:70kg (25th March- Stopped going to gym for about 2 months, will start soon hopefully)

What happened
girl go back !
I love that you added that after the weight loss, you continue to have fluctuations. I think that is so important to recognize and understand. Life changes and body changes happen and that is normal. People who have never been overweight have fluxuations. They happen with even small life changes. It shouldn’t result in a panic and worry.
I found that when I set any goals or expectations and a timeframe to reach them - no matter how high or low those expectations are; or how long or short of a period of time that is, I just can't shed that excess weight. Then in time I realized it's because I get stressed and feel pressure and my body literally locks itself. When I decided I didn't care if I lose weight or not, and I knew that somewhere along the way I surely would, I just wanted to make healthier choices for my body, then I started seeing results and quick ones, mind you. Its exactly like you said in this video. Sometimes, less is more.
Less is definitely more sometimes!!! I totally agree! I love that you agree and well done on everything you have achieved so far 😍😍
That is sooo crazy I‘ve noticed this over and over too but never heard anyone else say it with the body locking itself basically
@@AC-iw5mv Definitely! I went to a dietician years ago to lose the weight, I was so determined and after 3 months (and I was soooo hungry, all the time!)all I could lose was barely 5 kgs. My dietician was so disappointed and absolutely sure that I was eating pizza and hamburgers in secret :) Now, I'm never hungry and lost 8 kgs in 2 months. I believe its just the way we treat our body that makes the difference. Nutrition over calories, compassion over harsh expectations.
Needed to hear this. Thank you

This is a life process. Don’t ever feel defeated just pick up what you learned throughout trial and error and eventually you’ll have your personal plan to stay fit. 🥂🥳 You can do it just take it little by little each day. Change comes with consistency and imagining yourself being the best you. ❤️
How did it go
I really love this video. Thanks for showing healthy and sustainable ways of getting fit and healthy. I'm currently on my own fitness and weightloss journey and I'm down 11kg in 4 months. It's all about portion control, making healthier versions of your meals, moving a little bit more and just adjusting here and there. Another thing that has helped me is NSV (non-scale victories) like pushing through a workout, being less tired, feeling better, clothes fitting looser, ... . And most important thing: there is no bad food/food groups ... you can eat carbs, you can have dessert, you can eat pizza. It's all about portion control, making healthier versions of your meals, moving a little bit more and just adjusting here and there - NO restriction!

What you just described applies to relatively metabolically healthy people and who are not utterly addicted to (bad) carbs/sugar. Know thyself. Are you a moderator, or should you be an abstainer? Great example: moderators can buy a bag of chips or cookies. Then have a few and come back later so late that your treat has gone stale. However people that need to be abstainers are those that buy the same treat, but find that they've consumed it all in a rapid period of time. Or if trying to moderate your consumption of it is like psychological torture...
You're so genuinely POSITIVE! Not the "fake" positive kind of vibe just to make us believe it's possible ❤️ I especially love how happily u showed us the loose skin and stretch marks, without any shame and that just made me CLAP 👏👏👏 Nobody should be ashamed of loose skin or stretch marks. They r natural and tell a story of their own and they're much better than being unhealthy and unhappy with your body that always feels tired and worn out (I am not fat shaming, this is not that. If u feel great in ur current body then I applaud u bcos ur indeed b e a u t i f u l and doing something I can't at my current state 👏🍷💜)
Great video 🥂
I've gained some weight due to stressful events in life (went up by 2 sizes) and so I've been watching a lot of these kind of videos of people who lost weight. Your are probably the first person I've watched who seems to have a very healthy (both physically and mentally) approach to weight loss. It's very inspiring and it feels close to my heart. I also feel that if I start with just small changes of behaviour, I'll be able to maintain it better in a long term. Thank you for sharing this video and your journey!
Really appreciate you Lucy! This year I finally just took the uncomplicated approach that you share and have lost body fat over a sustained period of time. I feel so proud of this slow + consistent approach. It honestly doesn’t feel super difficult because I was just eating the same foods, just making small switches so I hardly felt different while I lived a normal life. Some days I ate way more than normal, like at a fam dinner or gathering etc. but I didn’t stress about it. Over 9 months I’ve lost 14 pounds and I feel really good about that. Not too fast, not too slow. Not always consistent but that’s life. Thanks for all the info you put out. It’s very helpful to the rest of us that haven’t studied nutrition science! 🧡😘
That is sooo amazing I am so happy for you

I’ve come across your video by chance. I’m 52 I had always been in a gorgeous physical shape until I reached 45 then something changed and I’m now probably 10/15 kg overweight. I keep saying “Tomorrow!!” But it never happens. You’re lovely and inspiring. I hope this is the right time to start. You are simply amazing, so balanced and wise. Adorable xxx
Same with me - looked at my body and didn't recognize it. Cut down to fo meals per day - 12pm and 4pm and lost a stone so far, better but going for another one. Hope you are doing ok x
Dr. Jason Fung on CZcams best answer for you
Watch Dr. Jason Fung ASAP
This feels a lot like intuitive eating which is wonderful. You didn't force yourself to eat a big breakfast because you weren't hungry, you ate something that was filling and delicious for lunch and then you allowed food that you loved and craved. No wonder that worked for you because that is very sustainable
I'm 55, been disabled since birth and in a wheelchair for a few years now. Entering menopause too... Been seeing my blood work getting worse over the last 2 years and also gained weight above what has been my upper "limit" before hand.
I live with a hubby who loves to snack and has no intention of doing anything healthy to get off or reduce his multiple meds for blood pressure, cholesterol, etc, even after multiple heart issues he's had.
But I've decided that at my age I don't want to become like him and have 6 meds a day to keep my blood work looking 'good'. I have about 20-25 kilos to lose but I'm not going to go nuts about it. Small, gradual changes that will work for me is the way to go as well as finding more physical activity that I will enjoy. If it takes a year or two - that's fine with me.
Thanks for your words and inspiration. You're the first that managed to do that! :)
I’m checking in on you 2 years later to see if you took the bull by the horns and shed some weight off to get your health where you wanted. I hope so! Your comment reached me in the U.S. I wish you all that is happy, healthy, successful, safe and protected! I hope your husband is well, as well.
Thank you Lucy, today is my first day in diet after the "lightbulb moment". I lost 25kg and gained them back the last couple of years, so here I am back on track. Your video is very realistic.
@allthingseve That's the problem with diets. The weight will always come back. I did that too and the moment I stopped dieting the weight was coming back with a vengence and more. Now I changed what I eat and I don't need to died anymore. My weight shifts 3pounds up and down, but I don't need to worry that I will gain 15 pounds in 2 weeks. Best of luck to you. You can check Chef AJ an all her guests, that might give you some god ideas too.

You can definitely do this. Don’t forget this is a lifestyle change, not monthly change. 🫶🏽 Don’t feel defeated, just pick up the keys you’ve gained from trial and error and eventually you will have your meal plan down packed, your workout plan down packed. Change something little by little. Baby steps and build that momentum and one day it’ll just be in your nature to make good choices without thought. 🥳🥂
Make small adjustments and take your time! It took me almost a year to lose 8 kg I put on but I was losing about 1kg per month or month and a half. Don't restrict yourself and try to move your bofy whenever you can. You can do this!
You are spot on. The exercise is an acceleration for what you’re already doing with just the right diet/ deficit. The kind of exercise doesn’t matter, as long as you’re active, you’ll lose fat faster. Also you lose fat EVERYWHERE, not just one place. You can’t just target your stomach or just your arms, because it’s doesn’t burn in one place of the body. It’s burns all over. ❤️✨ keep up the great advice!

for anyone who wanted the spices that comes across this video
what is the actual recipe?
Thank you, can't wait to try!!!!
I watched so many videos about loosing weight, and every single one of them made me feel terrible. I don't want to compromise and avoid eating and going out with friends. I want to enjoy my life and have a healthy body. This video made me feel safe, and made me realize that loosing weight is a long journey and not only being strict with rules and obsess about every calorie. Thank you so much.
Oh my word, this is so what I needed to hear! I’ve struggled with my weight for years and it’s so easy to get overwhelmed by the amount of marketing and social media rubbish telling you you must do this or that.
This often made me give up before I’d even started. To hear someone giving no nonsense sensible and sustainable advice is so refreshing.
Thank you!
Love how you made this really relatable with eating real food and not “Instagram” types meals. If I can lose weight and still eat fajitas I’m in! Lol currently on week two and haven’t seen much progress. Your video has given the motivation to keep going! 😃
Keep going. Also remember to track non scale victories such as measuring your body parts, how your clothes fit, how you feel, etc. You got this.
This is the one of the most realistic and helpful weight loss videos I’ve ever seen!
You’ve changed people’s lives with this video. Know that.
💕💕💕
This video came to me at the right time
Good luck!!!! :)

Thank you so much for your story ! This was so motivating for me, I’ve had a rough couple of year went from being super fit to gaining back all my weight + more. I’m definitely a new subscriber here, I think it’s more encouraging also when I see people who get the weight loss struggle and know the feeling of being heavy & unhealthy. My you reminded me of so many things I know but just either couldn’t remember (which is so weird) or didn’t focus on. You’re a gem 💎 and I thank you so much !!!
Awww thank you so much Jill! It means so much to me that you can relate to my story and that it helps you in some way! I really hope the new year and beyond is more positive for you, I’m right behind you 💕💕💕
I love your relaxed attitude to weight loss, I feel it is exactly the key to turn what seems to be a struggle for most of us into a pleasant and enjoyable life style. Congratulations!
wow we have the same exact story growing up gaining the weight! i don’t think i’ve ever watched someone that i can fully relate to their story but i can with yours! i lost 50lbs in the last year & am working on another 30 or so more!
I love your energy! Super inspirational. I love how you focus on how quickly the weight will drop once you get into a rhythm. Thats the hard part for most people.
Such a genuine young woman with realistic tips. Congratulations !
She’s such a real sweetheart. I love the encouragement for anyone and everyone.
Thank you Lucy! I’ve always hated wanting to go to the gym because it would hurt or make me anxious and was always so nervous to even step on the treadmill. And my diet is horrible rn and I always watch videos of other fitness guru and their GRWM videos and it would be so unrealistic?! But after watching with this video I feel so.. motivated!!
I’m a Moroccan and it took quite some time to recognize the lunch dish. We don’t call it soup though but close enough! Really recommend it, it’s delicious

Hi! I'm a nutrition counselor & personal chef.
Calories is not the way to figure out if something is nutritionally beneficial for your body. The more natural & less processed the food source, the more nutrients it contains.
Counting calories is not the way to find out if something is more nutritious. For example, 1 cup of coke is 100 calories , while 1 cup of almonds is 547 calories. Obviously, there's nothing to compare because coke would not be considered nutrient dense, while almonds are and contain many vitamins, minerals, fiber, protein, and healthy fats even though they are more calorie dense. (Not that 1 cup of almonds is a normal serving size, but it makes the point clearer.)
Nutrient dense foods also keep you fuller for longer, as opposed to a chocolate bar and a diet soft drink. Of course, enjoy the fun foods in moderation, but don't say they are replacing/ better for you than a nutritious granola bar.
Your video is really recommendable realistic and sustainable. To be honest this is the first video that I actually finished watching through the end. The most important thing is I can see your happiness genuinely shines through your face all the times when you are talking. This helps confirm that I am in the right place.😊
I love everything about this video. Every seconds of it were insightful and enjoyable to watch. Thank you, Lucy! Wish us luck with our journey! Stay fab and healthy
I'm trying to lose weight after having my second daughter almost 4 years ago. I used to be incredibly strong will powered and careful about what I ate and would eat really healthy and I was a good weight. I lost all that after having two kids. I'm trying to get back into it now and watching this video has seriously made me think I can really do this. You've given me hope for the first time in years. Thank you
Dear Lucy, I was 146kg around 5 years ago. I began my weight loss journey in 2018 and lost 40kg by early 2020. I was super disciplined with myself and I became so much happier. I was hooked with kick boxing and I went to the gym 5 times a week. By then Covid happened but I tried to stay consistent as possible. Unfortunately I went into a mental breakdown due to multiple lockdowns and succumbed to overeating again. It’s 2023 and I am now 136kg, I gained so much of weight. I became in denial but it struck me hard when the clothes that was loose on me are now super tight again. I am currently struggling to get back on track... came across your channel and it made me realised that I should not procrastinate and should give it a serious go again. Easier said than done but I’m not getting any younger, my family and friends are living their best lives now. I must find my mojo again... thank you Lucy. Love your story on your weight loss journey . If anyone is reading this and you’re struggling like me... PLEASE DON’T GIVE UP ON YOUR WEIGHT LOSS JOURNEY
Keep going!
Thank you for demonstrating what it means to have empathy for your past self! Needed to hear this today.
My favourite part of this video (besides all of it) was seeing your kitten's little feet sticking out from behind you
OMG those paws!!!! 😍
same! cute little paws... living his best life.
Thank you so much Lucy. What a quality video, full of great information, not intimidating and so friendly. Can’t wait to do your workouts!
This is the first video that makes me feel like losing weight is possible and this just seems realistic ❤️
I started to cry when you said your weight has fluctuated about 10kg since. My goal weight is 60kg and I was at 60.5 two weeks ago, but today i weigh 62 kg. I panicked and I feel so bad. Thank you so much for saying that.
Wow me too. Three weeks ago I was at 60.5 and now it’s 62.5. I don’t think I really gain two kilos of fat but still depressing.
I must say, your video is one of the most realistic videos I've seen so far. I learned so much with this video and you truly gave me the 'click' I needed!
♥️♥️♥️
I love how your changes are realistic, satiating, and fun. I’m so excited to make your Morroccon soup! New subscriber ❤️
I’m trying to lose 10 lbs and it’s been SO HARD! You’re so motivating. Thank you!
I hardly ever comment on CZcams, but I must say this. I listened to this while driving today and whne I got home I started peeling vegetables to make soup. It's Wednesday night and my lunch soup is prepared, my oats for the breakfast is soaked. Alarm set for my workout. I workout and can be consistent with that but always struggle with food.
Yay, go you - you should be proud 🤩👏🏻🥰! Thank you so much for sharing (and commenting) I’m glad the video helped! ♥️♥️
Thank you for the inspiration! I wanted to say that I have psoriasis too and I found that I could completely get rid of it by eliminating these 4 things from my diet (it’s a little tough, but I swear it works): 1. Sugar-huge trigger 2. Refined carbohydrates (bread, crackers, cereals, any baked goods, most flours, processed foods, etc.)-also a huge trigger 3. Refined vegetable oils (use extra virgin olive oil, avocado oil, coconut oil instead) and 4. Alcohol. After years of experimenting and eliminating, I know what triggers my psoriasis to break out now. I find I do well with substituting sweet things with fruit, stevia in my teas, and I still eat chocolate but I get dark chocolate with as little sugar as possible, sometimes even no sugar at all. Just thought I’d share that with you in case you’ve never associated psoriasis with diet. It’s definitely dietary inflammation related.
Thank you for the reminders and setting me back on track... sometimes I loose my way and need these kind of videos to get me back on track. Keep them coming... makes it feel more real and we all human and there will be bumps along the way!

I’m addicted to your videos! I love how open minded you are when it comes to food, the flexibility in the process… your accent and your smile! I’m super motivated and binge watch your videos while training, walking and cooking! Thank you!!!! 😍 (1 month since my big realization and life change and already -5kg!!! 🥳)
And tried a head stand today for the first time after like… 20 years!!! And I made it!!!!! 🥹🤩
I like how you make everything realistic and... Doable? Like all fit people tell you about how much you have to cut all things like chocolate, or that you MUST lift weights if you want to change, etc. I feel so bad with the fact that I gained in only two years around 8 kilos I cannot lose and it's devastating. But you make me feel like it's not a failure on my part, life happens. I feel a bit more motivated after watching this, and I will continue my journey consistently but without torturing myself. Thank you 😭🙏
Came through this video at the absolute right time! Your story is the most realistic one I ever came across.. thanks for convincing us that it’s achieavable ❤️
This was the best and most encouraging weight loss/maintenance video I have ever watched. Thank you for sharing this with us.
Great video! I lost about 15 kg and it took me 1,5 years. I did no sport at all but changed the way I eat completely. Many things you said in the video reminded me of my journey especially the sweet drink story you shared. I drank softdrinks all the time. So I started to mix them with a third of water, then half and half and then I only drank water because all of a sudden all these sweet drinks were too sweet for my taste.
I ate more non produced food and vegetables and didn't have my candy plate around all the time. ;-) Every week sometimes month I wrote dowm my weight and that's it. I still enjoyed my sweet treats like chocolate, cake but I was more aware of the portions like you explained.
Many years later I gained a few kilos again so I will do the same what I did back then. I think it was easy for me because I wasn't browsing the internet to get confused by all the false advertising. I simply did what I could and was succesful. Everyone can do it!
I always love hearing your advice and story because it’s so genuine and sensible! Thanks for another great video.
Aww thank you so much Danielle!! xxxx

Thank you for genuinely making losing and maintaining weight so much less daunting. I'm always up and down, but lately have struggled going back down. With your channel, I've been making small changes more and more and am happy with even my tiny weight loss because I know it's a longterm thing for me now. So, thank you! Slowly but surely 😌
Yessss, absolutely killing it. It is 100% a longterm process and you've got this!! Thank you for your beautiful comment xxx

I don’t think I’ve ever commented under CZcams videos but I had to say it: Thank you for this video. Truly, truly thank you.
That means more than you could know thank you ❤️❤️
I've been trying this route for the past few weeks, eating healthier, moving more... My only challenge is that I don't really believe I'll lose the weight so it's hard to keep going.
This has been so helpful you’re the first person I’ve come across so far whose day to day life is similar to mine so it’s a bit easier to envision myself doing this🥰
Thank you for making this video! I feel overwhelmed starting my own weight loss journey. You've inspired me to make small changes.
Both versions of yourself are absolutely beautiful, but I’m glad for you that you found what makes you happy and healthy, both mentally and physically. ❤
I really hope this video helps to show that it doesn’t have to be as hard as it sometimes seems in the crazy world of health and fitness nowadays. It really is a life long process 🥰. If you want to grab anything in the Gymshark Black Friday I greatly appreciate your support: gym.sh/Lucy-Lismore-YT ❤️❤️
Hey Lucy just discovered you recently and really enjoying watching your CZcams clips! I can’t seem to find the recipe for your Moroccan chicken, please are you apply to post it? Thanks

Thank you for sharing!
Thank you very much, love it!
I want you to be my personal trainer!!!!???
This was one of the best youtube videos I've ever seen. So much great information, so real, and just so well done!
Thank you for this video! It's way too easy to give up if you don't see progress right away. Like you said, you gotta be consistent. Change will come!
Your stretch marks look really cool, btw! ✨💕
Awww thank you beaut! Change will definitely come! 🙌🏻❤️

Thank you for an amazing video! I am a lot older than you and am trying to shift 10KG but because of my age, it is proving hard. I will take some of your advice and see how it goes. Keep up the good work!
Thank you so much for sharing your personal journey. I am so grateful for all of the information. I never even considered soup as a hearty to-go meal, and it seems so easy to prepare and take with you. One of the biggest struggles is being so busy that I forget my lunch and end up eating out, and then I just relapse into bad eating habits again. Your video has helped me feel less alone and lost.
You are genuinely honest and not promoting anything the right way and true I appreciate it and that way will listen to your encouragement and subscribe.
I love your whole approach, attitude and mindset so so much. You're so inspirational!
Your videos are put together so well Each part blends seamlessly 🖤🖤🖤
Thank you so much Tracy!!

“Asking people what my body was like people in comparison to other people” totally relate (although it was after pregnancy weight gain)
13:20 This is honestly the best advice I’ve seen, just being kinder to yourself
Lucy, I love your vibe! I have recommitted to losing weight recently, and want to lose enough to wear my size 14 pants. It is cold and snowy right now, but I am walking in the basement, and working out on the elliptical trainer. Looking forward to watching more of your videos!!😊
Update....I am now down 50 pounds from my highest weight. I am wearing my size 18 pants. Thank you Lucy for helping to inspire me!!
Thank you for making this video, Lucy. I needed it. Small changes. One day at a time.
You're beautiful , well spoken, kind and humble in your approach. Congratulations on your weigh loss and thank you for your thorough explanation really helpful
This is the best and most relatable weight loss video ever! I was in a very similar situation as you, always had a little chub and then moved abroad alone and had no idea what calories were and why I kept gaining weight. I think my epiphany moment was similar to yours but for me, it was after I attended my annual physical (mandatory in Japan) where they said I was obese. Of course, Japan has different BMI standards for obesity than the west but since I’m East Asian, I figured their analysis of my overall health was probably more accurate than what my doctors in Canada would say. At my heaviest, I might have been 145lbs/67kg (which was quite big for an East Asian woman, only 5’2/158cm in height). Now I’m 103lbs/47kg and I’ve mostly kept the weight off these last 10 years.
As you said, I chose to do an exercise I enjoyed and was comfortable with and for me, that was walking. Getting off the train a few stops early to get to work and at the end of the day to get home. I probably just walked an accumulative 1.5hours per day. And again, like you said, I made sure to go out of my way to add in a little extra activity throughout the day. I always took the stairs at the train stations and would volunteer to fetch something on the 3rd floor for a colleague.
The biggest change was the food I ate but like you, it was mostly just portion control. I ate kara’age (Japanese fried chicken) nearly every night for dinner (just 2-3 ping-pong ball size pieces) but I would pair it with half a bowl of brown rice and half a plate full of sautéed spinach. As you said, I needed something to treat myself and look forward to every day otherwise all of my efforts would just feel like too much and I was afraid of falling off the wagon.
These days, to maintain my weight, I do a cardio workout everyday but never interval training or anything that is too physically challenging. I have good cardio endurance (could run a 1/4 marathon) but can’t do much with my arms. But it’s sustainable for me which is why I’ve stuck to it. I also still indulge every day. I enjoy a chocolate chip cookie with a sugar-free latte pretty much every day. If I overindulge with a larger cinnamon bun or something really naughty like chips, I just make sure I eat less for dinner or I write it off as a bad day and aim to do better the next. I’m trying not to be too fussy about calories (although it’s hard not to weight my food) and I just make sure that my meals are vegetable dense even though I’m adding cream and butter to my mashed potatoes.
I remember first time when i decided to lose weight. I was walking in city and seen my reflection in one of store window. And then in hit me i had to do something that time i was 17 years old and already on 100kg. I lost like 18kg that time, stop working out for almost 7 years after i get to university. And now im back on my journey for year and half and more serious about it then ever. Now im first time in my life at state when im intetionaly adding more callories to my diet, call it lean bulking, to gain more muscels. Btw great video and great tips for someone who starting with his/her fitness jurney.
Awww wow, you are the perfect example of the journey. It really is a lifelong journey and rarely thought of like that!!! Well done for everything you have achieved and I just know you are going to achieve anything you put your mind to! Thank you for the feedback and I am so happy you agree! xxx
I just finished a lean-bulk, the results absolutely blew me away. Good luck on yours!
Thank you for being so healthy about weightloss. Diet culture has taken over much of the internet and it is refreshing to watch your well rounded approach (: you also seem so sweet and positive. (:

Thank you so much for sharing your story! I am 50 now and really hope, that it is not to late, to finally make a change for good, too. So fingers crossed 🤞😊
I think this is the healthiest video about weight loss I've ever watched
That means more than you could know thank you! X
This was the most helpful weight loss video I’ve ever watched. Thank you so much ❤️
i really love your energy❤️ you make the process so doable, thank you for this video❤️
I am so inspired
You ate real food and changed your portions and slowly switched to healthy alternative
Wow, I just watched your psoriasis video, and out of curiosity decided to check out your channel. I'd NEVER have guessed you had been overweight! Congratulations!!
Love this so much!!! You’ve done so well and achieved so much.
I’m on the same path but quite different at the same time. I started mine because I had gut issues and I’ve been off gluten, eggs, soy, dairy, peanuts, sugar. I’m getting slimmer every week, and I’m still getting used to these changes in the program. Now that the inflammation is down I can actually function like a normal human being.
There are definitely tips in your videos I want to use, the exercise was very helpful so I’m looking forward to trying it. Overall enjoyed watching your journey.
Great video. It's so refreshing to hear positive advice with no condescending opinions. Thank you
This means more than you could know thank you so much! xx

I just discovered your channel because I was looking for some beginner advice for calisthenics. My goal is too lose some weight and start calisthenics but in the past few weeks I only was watching countless of youtube videos about that but not actually doing something. I watched a few of your videos now and they motivated me to ACTUALLY do something and do some exercises! So, thank you!
This has been a very honest, open, and raw video. Well done
Thank you for posting this video. You broke it down so real and simple that it helps all of us. I know I have over complicated my journey. This seems more doable breaking it down in small changes and keep finding ways to improve without changing too much at one time.

Thank you for speaking on how long it took you to start seeing results. It's been 2.5 months for me and I really haven't lost more than 4-5 lbs. It's really hard to see that on my body and really hard to keep pushing when I'm not SEEING changes. I know I feel so much better overall, and that's what I'm hanging onto right now.
I was the same but I’ve found logging my calorie intake on My Fitness Pal has helped keep me on track and I’ve slowly lost 10lbs in 2 months. Also walking every other day if not doing a CZcams hitt workout
Thanks for providing such a positive healthy perspective on weight loss and maintaining an active lifestyle. Your’re so genuine.

This was so down to earth and realistic. Thank-you, honestly ☺️.
You're so welcome, I’m so happy it helped in some way ❤️
Seriously the BEST weight loss video I’ve watched omg this is so helpful
This was so refreshing to see! Thank oh for sharing. It was wonderful to see that you didn’t change your lifestyle you just implemented healthier choices and reeled in the portions, such an incredibly healthy shift and journey to improve your health! You go girl!
Lucy, this video is so uplifting. Small changes, enjoying food, doing what suits me personally. When you talk about this, I feel that I can do it, too. Thank you! 💗
