Your channel deserves more recognition! I am glad that you are getting more new subscribers than a few months ago.
Audrey Jacques awww thank you Audrey! That’s so nice of you to say 🥰😍-Emily
I really enjoy that ones hunger goes away with Keto. For me that is just great. Less cooking and less spent on food. I loved pastries and cake and they were so addictive. This keto lifestyle just makes me feel healthier mentally and physically. So I can say for certain it is good for us!! I am only 4 months in, but I can see a major difference.
Same. I'm somewhat in the same boat with your journey! Not that I have a twin, but I got a mirror!
I totally relate to Sarah's journey! Emily has such a great way of explaining carb addiction 😆 like a cereal killer or a cannibal 😆 I totally agree! Viewing keto like a temporary way of eating really dies change how u feel about eating. I love this video!
Haha I turn into a carb zombie when I cheat! Out of control 😂-Emily
Love that you speak openly about the mind games you play with yourselves. I have lost and gained hundreds of pounds. Even at 72, I'm still playing the game. Just lost 60 pounds, for the umpteenth time. You go girls. Keep being honest with yourself, and being accountable
Good video 😃 i am still catching up on your videos that pop up in my yt feed.
hope ya’ll had a great Christmas
I just found you girls thank God! I’m on my 3rd try of keto and the weight is coming off super slowly this time😩 but I love what you guys said! About needing to do this for life-how it’s such a slippery slope once you invite cheat days and all that. I’ll be your keto for life buddy because I can’t leave this way of eating-I’ve tried carbs for 37 freaking years and I’ve been a fatty all these years to show for it. You both are my biggest inspiration and thank you so much!
Hi Tish! We know how you feel, weve been doing keto on and off for 20 years 🥴, you can do it, I promise! Take it one day at a time ❤️-Em
Can't say thank you enough, just for being so real and honest and just being yourselves. I look so forward to your videos. Im pretty much a shut in, i just don't want to be around people, im retired now and don't have to go out, so i don't. People can be sooo crule . I started out many times, like you , lost and gained it back many times but i seem to feel different about it now and i truly believe i can and will make it this time and people like you help more than you will ever know. Thank you for being a friend to a friend you never knew needed you, God Bless. Starting weight 315 lb. present weight 263..... Thanks foe being there !
Aww thank you Dianna, we appreciate you!
Hi Sarah and EMily, WOW You two are really identical! I Saw a post from you on TimetoShrink's channel and came to watch some videos and subbed and rang the bell for all notifs and to help support you both along on your journey. Found this video 1st. So very Glad to meet you! ~hugs~
Hiii! Thanks so much for checking us out! -Em
So glad I found your channel. 💞
Great video. I've lost serious weight, thrown out the "fat" clothes, truly believing I'm thin now. Denial! When I go out there, I'm WILD about food again. I'm a food addiction & Keto is the one food/lifestyle that keeps me calm. I can't do it alone. Thanks for yr candor. Love you girls. 😍
I’ll share my story with you. (First time sharing this much of myself anywhere on CZcams. I feel comfortable with you two😇) I always thought I was a bigger girl growing up by my weight and height because I was about 5’10 in high school and was just a tall girl growing up. I remember weighing about 150 in H.S. and just thinking I was overweight compared to my friends that were much shorter than myself and them weighing less.
When I was 19 my weight got down to 130 due to a horrific car crash that left me a paraplegic, wheelchair user. (I’m fine and have had a lot of years to deal with this new way of life) I gradually gained some weight back over the first couple/few years and gained arm and back muscle overtime with being new to my disability and became a strong 147 to 150 pound wheelchair user due to being a paraplegic. I kept this body frame until I became pregnant and had given birth to my healthy baby daughter 22 yrs ago. (My pride and joy) I just needed to take off about 20 pounds after giving birth and get back in shape but for whatever excuses I found it so difficult. The weight went up over the yrs and my highest was 185 pounds. Not a lot of weight I’m sure some people would think but pushing myself around in my chair and transferring in and out of it (car, bed, etc) definitely made it harder. Ive been on yo-yo diets off and on for the last 22 yrs (mostly off) but after doing research on my computer 14 months ago (June 22, 2019) and learning about keto and intermittent fasting I decided to stop eating fast food and pizza. I stopped drinking my diet Coke’s. I went low carb, low sugar, and did omad dropped 45 pounds in 4 1/2 months. I’m not Keto though. I’ve been maintaining my new weight of 140 since last November 2019 but I’ve been indulging in chips and cupcakes (cupcakes lately) and probably bloat up to 145 but I’m okay with the weight (not the bloat feeling though) but I love my indulgence treats. I just watch and count calories and make sure my “daily average” weekly, every two weeks, and even every three weeks calories when all added up and divided by those days aren’t over my “daily average” calorie intake. I hope that made sense! Anyway, that’s my story and I tried to condense it but failed😀
You have such an inspiring story Cheryl, thank you so much for sharing it here with us! It means a lot! 🥰😍❤️-Emily
Thanks so much for sharing your story with us Cheryl. You are soooo strong and you inspire me to keep going on my weight loss journey! It’s amazing you got to 140 lbs and I think it’s great that you were able to maintain it since last November! I hope to get to my goal weight by the end of the year! Thanks for your continuous support that you show Emily and I, it means the world to us! ❤️ -Sarah
Keto Twins Aww, thank you. I appreciate it and enjoy watching you and Sarah continue on with your weight loss journey. Watching video’s like yours help keep me on my “clean” path. And you both really do look smaller than what you say your weight is. You look great!
Keto Twins Aww, thank you. I appreciate it. Repeating what I had kind of wrote Emily is that, I enjoy watching your video’s Sarah with Emily as you both continue on with your weight loss journey/s. Watching your video’s are helping me stay on my “clean” path of eating. Taking the weight off was actually pretty easy for me. My goal was 150 but it just kept coming off. Being in a deficit was the key for me. It’s more of a challenge to maintain my new weight but I think I kind of figured it out with what I had written above about my overall counting calories and I’ll do a 48 hour fast when I feel I need it. Unfortunately with my paralysis I’ve lost muscle over the yrs with my legs. They are skinny so that’s weight loss in them alone. Haha. Like I told Emily, Sarah, you both look great and don’t look like you weigh anywhere near the amount you had said in a recent video.
Cheryl California 🥰🥰❤️❤️😍😍
I love this video... I can relate on every level!!! It's so refreshing hearing how I feel come out of someone else's mouth... I've tried explaining my feelings of being a carb addict to my hubby... He can eat whatever he wants and never gain an ounce so he can't relate with me on this being I'm completely opposite... I gain just looking at carbs... Lol... I started at 247 in January this yr... Got down to 199 in 100 days... I celebrated my success with CARBage... BIG MISTAKE!!!! I've been yo-yoing ever since!!! Today I'm 215😩 It was so awesome seeing 199 on the scale... I hope to be there again SOON... It's so awesome watching ur videos and being able to relate so much... Ur doing more for me than u know... Thank u for all that u do!!!😊👍🏻 Finding ur channel was a blessing!!!💕
You will be there again soon! I gained a ton of weight at the beginning of quarantine! It was really bad, but now I’m even lower than I was before! You can do it! -Em
@@ketotwins That's amazing!!! I'm so super proud of u!!! I appreciate the words of encouragement... I look forward to being able to tell u both that I did it too!!!! I PROMISE... That day WILL come!!!!👊🏻😊
It's an addiction. Food will always be an addiction. I don't see me ever being able to forget that. I have to always keep that in mind. I can have a doable relationship but I can't let it control me any more.
Keto helped us break the addiction for us! It took a while but staying on Keto for years helped us realize that we need to eat to live instead of live to eat -Sarah
This video will help so many people. I have not seen my Twin since February and she is trying and is losing weight. Looking forward to seeing her and compare...lol just kidding. Sending HUGS, PRAYERS, LOVE, A SMILE and KINDNESS! 🌷 🌷 🌷
Haha 😂 hopefully you can see her soon Kaye! I’m sure she misses you! -Em
First!! A video drop on a Sunday night?!? YES!!
Take my advertisement watch time!!
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Changing my mind set to treat it like a life style and Not a diet has made all the difference in the world!!!
That’s so great to hear Leslie! We agree! -Em
(in unison) "Looong legs... Okay." WONDER TWIN POWERS, ACTIVATE! 👭🏻
I was a cereal killer!!!😂😉
I thought about food days, weeks and even months in advance 🥴-Em
I had a cheat day that lasted 9 months once. If you have an issue with healthy thinking/healthy eating/carb addiction, cheat days are like playing with fire.
you two are really pretty!
Chris Topher Aw thank you! 😁
I just did a video on my channel, where I talk about how I've been a fat child to adulthood. I've never experienced being a small individual. I've always been a sweet dessert eater. When I started WW, I was told I don't eat enough. All this is saying, I can't say when nor how, I got fat, because I've always been here 😭😭
All it takes is one time being successful to change that! Keep on trying! I tried keto countless times before I stuck to it! -Emily
Once an emotional eater its hard to change what your brain tells you. I also meal plan in my head and always think of food. I'm 8 lbs from my goal of 135 and its still a struggle. If it waa easy and keto was so easy evertonr would be skinny.
After 6p some days the munchies are real!
So true! If it was easy everyone would be skinny! -Emily
Carb addiction is a bitch!
It is!😬
"Like looking in a mirror". This is interesting...so you look alike to each other? Most identical twins I know don't think they look alike.. ???
There are some pictures from when we were younger where i have a hard time telling who’s who and have to ask my mother lol. 🤷🏻♀️ I know that we look a like to most people...-Em
Keto Twins This was interesting to read but must be kind of strange not knowing for sure if a photo was either Emily/Sarah or your sister.
