How I Lost 28 POUNDS of FAT and 6 INCHES Off My Waist
Vložit
- čas přidán 25. 07. 2018
- This details how I lost over 28 pounds of fat, several inches all over my body, and 6 inches from my waist alone over the course of 6 months through diet changes and exercise. It goes over the rough meal plan I followed, types of workout routines I did, and other things I learned to help me lose the weight. My goal was firstly health, but also aesthetic.
I know this video is super long, but I didn't want to cut out necessary explanation, or the moments early on where I struggled- too often I think these fitness videos online don't paint an accurate picture of how difficult it is to really change bad health habits, and I don't want anyone else going through big changes to think they're alone in that regard.
I couldn't have done this without Steve Zim from A Tighter U. Please check him out and send him some zombae love:

If you're looking to feel healthier and you take only one thing away from this video, try eating no sugar for a for few months.
Is it just me or whenever you’re trying to eat healthy your parents go out of their way to get junk food •_•
Jay Oneal As soon as I became vegan, meat just kept coming in the house as well as chocolates and cakes.
Tiffany that what happened when I became vegetarian. But I eventually went back to eating meat BUT THEN my parents became vegan and now makes fun of meat eaters even though they pressured their daughters to start eating meat again. My family is currently vegan (as am I) just thought it was very hypocritical of my parents 😂
@@gymfoodie20_42 I was going to comment the same. As soon as I told my parents I was going vegan, they stocked the fridge with meat and fancy cheeses. They even bought chocolate milk, which they know I love but never bought before.
It looks like parents never respect our choices ugh
Started eating healthy, my mom has been hating fast food. We had fast food for dinner FIVE DAYS in a row. (the dream BEFORE I went healthy)
Every time I watch this video I get SO PUMPED OH MY GOD.
Like this if you're also getting ripped in 2020
me me me.
I get pumped whenever I see a workout video but I always see them at midnight so the next morning the hype goes down and I end up not even getting out of bed
ive been watching this while im at the gym
I gotta start my fitness journey over in june😅🤰🏻 hope that's not "too late" in the year 😂
Ana Fdez ripped? Nah. But I did buy a treadmill and I’m actually using it! 🥰 2020 is the year of self care.
Whenever i start lacking motivation, I come here again. Every time. The whole video.
Same over watched this atleast 10 times
I thought I was the only one
Me too, I love her and this community 👍
I’ve even started subconsciously memorizing it and speaking with her 😂
We all in this together
You got this!
I love coming back to this video 5 yrs later thinking I could never do this & DOING IT. I lost 50+lbs & have been going to the gym regularly for about 1 1/2 years now, & eating mostly healthy. I learned so much about my body in this time & getting healthy is like 90% feeling better & only 10% looking better. The best & most worthwhile changes are the mindset, confidence, knowing the tools & how to implement them, how to stick to a routine, & the literal energy boost, sleeping better. internally just not feeling so sluggish & lazy. Like the actual health part of it outweighs the physique part of all of this. Not losing my balance from taking a single step , not getting lightheaded from standing up, being able to walk up stairs without wanting to pass out, not pulling my back from tying my shoe (real story) and I literally feel 10 years younger. That stuff alone was a huge wake up call to me just how unhealthy my body was before. My blood pressure is no longer high for the first time in literally a decade...again...just like I'm in love with my body now, & cannot believe the progress ive made, but nothing beats being healthy internally
Same here! You are awesome for achieving so much and you rock!!
Same this video really helped inspire me when I first started trying to lose weight and low I’m 29kg lighter and I never thought I could do it when I first watched this tbh 😭 still need to work on being skinny fat though but that’s for future me
I find it very sad that we live in a time where someone has to spend 5+ minutes on a disclaimer just so other people won't be offended by their personal life choices.
I thought the same thing!!!!
Agreed...... don't think she needed to do that at all..... people need to get over themselves :P
If u didn’t get any benefit from this video contact via Whatsapp +919392674006 wil make u fit in 3 months
@Grape Soda I always found it ironic when I was a feminist and got belittled for personal choices, feminists preach freedom to your body, yet they'll demonize you for prioritizing health.
@Grape Soda Is this supposed to be a joke?😂
sugar who? we dont know her.
I don't think most of the viewers realize how hard a transformation like this actually is/was. Most people fail because they completely underestimate what it takes and think they can just "willpower" through it for a couple of weeks. ( and then fail when willpower runs out). Good job girl.
Now transform from the bible, it will be just as hard, sugar, grains, drugs &religion such a waste 🗑
Just.want better digestion and flat.belly back and thighs😅
Unrelated but I’ve found out just walking works. I take 10,000 steps a day which is around 5 miles. I started with just 1 mile a day and worked my way up. Cut all breads, rice, pasta and just eat protein and veggies. I lost 25 lbs in 3 months. I haven’t been this size since high school. 0 gym, 0 trainer, 0 costs. :-)
True. But if you dont makee muscle, you will lose it. Mine left a couple years ago. I cant do anything without major overuse pain. Starting again with Steve.
@@barbaras3206 i ONLY walk and have a LOT of muscle in my 60s.
Exactly and that's only around 2 hours of walking. As a man though I also have to hit the gym but I pass on the elliptical and treadmill now.
@@Mcgif21 wdym as a man
@Kaelyn Prince Lifting, muscle gain
I tried her version of hiit cardio on the treadmill and as I jumped back on, I dropped my headphones and fell as I was trying to catch them. I flew backwards in the gym at 8 miles and hour lol.
That happened to my 12 year old daughter her headphones and phone felt on the treadmill and she stopped to get them and she flew out .... I was worried and got off mine but she was ok we now at home laugh about it 😅
@@arinane44 yeah it hurt and was mortifying at first, but after I got home I couldn't help but laugh about it, too! It's always good to find the humor in things! Even if they hurt at the time lol.
poor you 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I know it must have been painful and I am sorry❤, but I just imagined you and I am sure this is exactly what would happen to me😂 so now I am sitting in the corner in Starbucks laughing and people are watching me because of it
I feel like I would be okay from that because I ride horses and have hit the dirt way faster 🤣 I’m sure the tread mill going to try and beat the number of times my horse has thrown me and I’m ready
oh yeah that happened to me but my skin got ripped off... OML that sounded so gross, but i mean it was...SORRY
ok I will do a curl up for every like I need motivation

It's sad how much content creators have to explain themselves and spell out disclaimers - if you like lean muscles, good for you girl! We are watching the video because we like your results and want similar results! Love your video and your sense of humour!! Made me subscribe!
Yes, it IS really sad how mean and accusatory people are these days. This young woman seems very thoughtful and intelligent, and I appreciate her attitude. She looks great and has the right to look that way without the haters hating. They’re never happy, and can always find fault.
This is it. This is the video that gave me the motivation and willpower to change my lifestyle and made me want to work out. I was also skinny fat and finally fixed that, now I'm lifting weights and go for walks and/or jogging on a regular basis.
Thank you so much for this video. Whenever I need a little push, I come back to this. It really changed my life.
I can cut sugar, I can’t cut rice . Asian here
rice is good for losing weight and building muscle
HA HA! I feel ya girl
Kimo maybe look into a cauliflower rice recipe if you’re looking to cut on carbs?
Jess Louise well cooked and seasoned cauliflower rice actually tastes really good and is satisfying
Lool I can cut out everything other than coffee with full milk (I'm lactose intolerant ) , cream and sugar ..
Roses are red
Violets are blue

the best video we've seen on weight loss
I've watched this video at least once a year every year since 2019. The first time I watched it I was 150lbs and now I'm 113lbs. This video and Mykie's progress has helped me stay motivated through my own journey.. ty so much 💖
When you said median line in a scatter plot you meant the line of best FIT!!!! You are more fit than you even realize damn girl ;)
Simply Nailogical this is so wholesome 🙌🏼
Thank you
BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEN
Simply Nailogical Ben need to watch out. Mykie finna steal his gurl!!!
💙❤
I never believed in sugar addiction until I cut it out almost completely and it physically and mentally felt the same as quitting smoking did. It was quite the eye opener.
Yes girl, it’s like giving up crack. Or so I imagine! 😂
Same here!👏👏👏👏💖💖💖
Same! Late night cravings are no joke! And I didn’t know that cardio increase appetite.
Oh yeah if you cant get away and stop thinking about it .Its definitely an addiction.
I thought the same. I thought avoiding sugar back then was just not eating candy, cake, or cookies. Little did I know sugar was in everything. So much so we’re adding sugar into food as though there just isn’t enough on its own. When I found out, I couldn’t help thinking, “no wonder America is addicted to sugar!” “No wonder why Americans are food addicted and always prefer going out for fast food or takeout! The country is literally trying to make it so by making food as delicious as possible in a lab.” I also never put extra salt or pepper on my food so when I found out about the salt content in food I was shocked to say the least. I never cooked back then, but I do now and often will use salt and pepper in cooking along with other seasonings. I still don’t put extra salt or pepper on food. Just use it when cooking.
For those who can't afford a personal trainer and want to get in shape and stuff: I can't afford one either, but it's fine. It's true that a personal trainer can help you a lot with exercises, eating etc., but since I can't afford going to gym, I started with baby steps such as 10 minutes abs workout 2 or 3 times a week, then gradually increased the workouts, eventually I started doing legs and arms as well. With the eating part, I still used to eat the same things, but in smaller portions (like instead of eating from a regular plate, I would eat from a smaller one). I still used to eat snacks and sweets, but somehow naturally I start cutting off those as well because I felt like I was sabotaging my hard work. All the workouts I'm doing are from youtube (mainly rebecca louise and madfit). The bottom line to this long ass comment is that as long as you start from somewhere, you keep doing your workout at least a few times a week, no matter how short they are and you learn to listen to your body, the results will show. It's hard at the beginning, but it will get so much easier over time and remember, your body it's capable of so many amazing things and it has a lot to tell you if you pick up on certain signs (eg. feeling awful after eating a bunch of stuff, you're stomach not being happy with certain things etc.)
or just work out with video. Many of them online.
This comment is a godsend 😭💕
Back here after losing 24lbs 🥳 went from 161 to 137. Just gotta tone up now , this video is great motivation 😊
Went from 185 to 140 and am desperately trying to lose the rest 😅 I watched this video a couple times throughout my journey as motivation 😎💪
How long did it take you?
@@calvoekleiden8664 What were your calories/macros and how often did you workout?!
the change in your face and jaw line was crazy!!
megzrebecca My jawline is my biggest issue. When i suck in i can make my belly go nearly flat but my double chin just stays. A slimmer facr has always been what ive desired 😄
I truly believe its the sugar! I am her at her january stage, my diet is mostly sugar, if not completely. I have never had a double chin until i got depressed and only eat oreos, cereal, and ice cream. Ive definitely been wanting to make a huge change (I've made some small changes the past few weeks), but this video and that jawline DEFINITELY kicked my determination up a hundred notches!
I have a feeling this video is going to change a lot of lives. It is informative, realistic, and encouraging. The perfect combination.
Oh for sure. It’s what’s been missing from the health community. Something real. Not just a bunch of enhanced after photos. So much love for you Mykie! ❤️
Its helping me actually want to get up and change. I look up to her in so many ways and for her to be so real and educated on this topic feels amazing and I cant wait to actually make physical changes to my body.
Dream Delirium I've actually never met another Shiloh before! So yes, its not a very common name. And thank you!
Its inspiring me to get down to a healthy life.
I agree
Soo I’m 2 years late to this video, but I started my journey weighing in at 245 and I am now just a few inches more than your starting measurements. I’m SO proud of how far I’ve come, but I don’t feel finished yet and this video really inspired me to push a little harder and gave me some perspective on realistic goals I can set for myself! Thank you!!!
So proud of you!
Any updates?
@@_aoe yes! I got down to 27” waist, 31” love handles, my hips still around 40-41”😒 thighs 24” ….. then I got pregnant!😂 my baby is almost 2 months old now and I’m on round 2 of weight loss! (Not NEARLY as much to lose though)
@@RosyCheeksBoutiq As an European I don’t really speak the inch language, but I can tell you’ve been working hard 😃. Congratulations on the pregnancy… or more-so the baby now! I wish you the best of luck on round two as I am on round two as well, first I got from obese to normal weight, and now I’m finally trying to go for the end goal, we can do this!! Again, super proud of you for the effort you continue to put in, even after having a baby 😄 !!
@@_aoe thank you so much!!💕 That’s amazing!! You’re doing great as well! We can do this💪💪
I'm glad that it took you longer than 4 to 6 weeks to reach your goals. That is a lot more attainable to the average person. Trying to do it in a short span of time, can leave people discouraged and make them stop all together, whenever they don't see results as quickly as they wanted or expected to. Thank you for being real about your struggles, through the process!
im not kidding you... this was the best "how i lost weight" video i have ever watched in SO many ways!!!!
I agree!!!
It's about being healthy! Great job girl, best of luck for everyone inspired ! Shes definitely an inspiration for those who have fallen off our health goals ✌🏼💗
aMomma&HerMinis agree
same!! none has motivated me more than this one!
aMomma&HerMinis I agreeee!!
I literally dont eat breakfast and have salad with some fruit for lunch, everyday. And have NO sweet tooth. My weakness is hot wings. Just hot wings.
...god i love hotwings.
Emily Yuchasz I don’t know why I laughed so hard at this 😂
Emily Yuchasz girl eat breakfast
I hope you have a big dinner then.
Sounds like a balanced diet 🤔
I've got a stomach problem so I can't eat breakfast or lunch, I just eat dinner with maybe a snack at like 2-3pm lol. My weakness is my sweet tooth tho, I can't resist fatty foods after dinner :/ been doing better lately, telling my stupid ass NO
You’re so patient to make that lengthy disclaimer. It’s kind of sad you have to explain yourself so much though, it reflects how judgmental and sensitive our society is. It boggles my mind that anyone would be criticized for working out and improving their health.
Your intro/disclaimer was exactly what I thought when talking about my transformation on Social Media... People interpret things based on their own insecurities, so pointing out what your situation is, makes it clear and deals with that! Beautiful! Amazing!
I see this guy in every transformation video and he never fails
I read your comment before I saw the trainer and I knew EXACTLY which guy you're talking about.
LITERALLY
From this description it’s probably Steve Zim
Yup I got it right
@@lanadelrreeyy5688 EXACTLY
Who else watched the whole video? Her results are amazing and inspiring
I did but I toggled between 2x speed and 1.5 speed and I had to take a break halfway. Good video though!
The trainer looked so uncomfortable when she did her little sexy dance when she took her shirt off...poor guy
He really does seem like he’s making the effort to maintain dad energy, which is good. I see too many grody interactions in the gym/fitness spaces.
Steve works with various celebrities and clients in general so I think he’s used just openly letting their personality out and I think he knows that she’s just joking 🙃 however yeah, maybe she shouldn’t have said that oh well
exactly, he's like common be a little more professional here....
That's why I love Steve. He's so professional and he makes me feel comfortable and safe. I get no creepy predator vibes from him.
A 6 to 8 week gig was 5 months for her. Lol.
Everytime I have a breakdown about my body and weight I go back to this video! It gives me so much motivation and confidence! I love Mykie so much and she inspires me everyday ❤️
I'm a massage therapist and I'm super impressed by what he's having you strengthen. He knows what he's doing! EDIT: OMG your posture and body alignment is so much better at the end of the video! Nice work!
Jenn W what's also cool about her posture changing is not just from the workout but it's also from her new boosted confidence. It's been proven, the more confident you are in yourself and the better you feel about yourself, the better your posture is and the better you carry yourself. You can just see the confidence radiating off of her at the end and it's freaking amazing and really inspires me. ❤️
Jenn W as a fellow massage therapist: nice to meet you :) have an awesome day!
Good Vibes Artist yes, I totally agree, but she was ABLE to stand straighter because he did corrective strengthening which is very unusual at the average gym.
missironmouse pleased to meet you as well! xox
As another massage therapist I noticed the EXACT same things. 🤘🏻
The whole disclaimer was just “no one get overly offended or find something terrible about what I’m doing please. This was for me and I just wanna share what I learned with everyone. Please no one attack.” I love mykie so much
Sofi Isabel I know. It sucks that there needs to be sooooo many disclaimers in all videos now. She's improving her health for her!
I know it's been 5 years, but I think it was really brave and kind of you to put this video out. Right now, I am making a lot of changes in my life, and it's a really vulnerable place to be. It brings me joy to know that you not only made this change, but felt compelled to share your journey in a compassionate and thoughtful way.
I love the confidence you have in the "after". Not just a body transformation but a mental transformation, too.
Tip for pasta lovers: There are kinds of pasta that are made completely out of chickpea flour or lentil flour, and it actually tastes like pasta! It's high in protein too!
I just ate pasta and I'm Not apologizing for it. LOL
Do you have any examples of brands I could check out?
I love you for this cause I can quit chocolate before pasta.
What about wholegrain pasta?
What about veggie pasta?
Ugh that's my issue! SUGAR!!! Our food system here in America is so disturbing and high in sugar....
Omg ikr?!?!
We have issues with all addictions.
But... I'm with ya'll. Just bought 2 new boxes of thin mints.
@@rachelg9873 😭😭🤚🏻 just finished eating some donuts....
I don't live in America so I am not used to eat as much sugar as most Americans do. I cut half the sugar in my food and most salt but I can't live without bread. And it's almost my "addiction"
@@pinkbunny4388 mmmmmm.... fresh baked bread. With a bit of fresh butter. I am day 4 of making a sourdough starter, and I can't wait to start making bread. What's your favorite bread? Mine is honey wheat. Makes delicious toast with butter or jam, and very yummy sandwiches.
Coming back to this video again for my annual attempt at weight loss.
When I need motivation to get back at it I rewatch this video.
"you gotta do what makes you happy" never heard truer words
Anna Jefferson *-truer-*
Akvile Too ya know what I meant 😂😂
I've heard people say that that you can't be body positive if you want to lose weight, even if it's for the sake of your health and I totally disagree with that. I think body positivity needs to include taking care of your body and making it as healthy as possible.
Sara Makes Art same
Sara Makes Art totally agree! I lost 60lbs recently and it was definitely for my looks but also because it wasn’t healthy for me!
I think saying 'I love myself and my body so I want to show my body that love by losing weight' is totally healthy and one of the best forms of self love imo.
body positivity should always be about health! I feel like that message gets lost sometimes
I keep rewatching this video because every time I do, my motivation is restored. Well done Mykie!!
I always rewatch this video when I need weight loss inspo.. my favorite!
i’m gonna admit that I was hesitant to watch this video because i’ve always had a weird relationship with my body. i’m happy with my body and how i look and feel, up until i see someone incredibly fit and lean, and then i feel terrible about where i’m at.
but you made this a very supportive and encouraging video. your trainer had totally the right mindset with that end result weight in. i’m so happy for you that you feel better about your health and body, you look so much HAPPIER. thank you for making this a supportive video. thank you for sharing the progress and *struggles* you had during this journey. this is the kind of motivation and inspiration i needed to see.

One of the most helpful and informative “how I lost it vids” I’ve ever seen. 💕
Having a personal trainer helps too, wish I could afford one
Elie Berryman pop sugar fitness has a ton of full videos on youtube off hiit and no equipment cardio - check it out!
And a boob job! ;)
Dana C ... huh?
Woa that escalated...
Īpopsugar is NOT worth your time!
They have a few old vids that are good but i would try hiit by joanna SOH , ROBERTSON or FITNESSBLENDER.those are worth the while!
do not avoid overdo or avoid cardio! Do " total body sculpt" sort of workout + pex Fitnessblender " bodyforming hiit" or " green light red light cardio" +" day 3 hiit cardio and abs" + butt abs tabata + quick lift butt thigh and oh my glutes
Soh also has a good BUTT +ABS routine and recently she added a *abs butt thigh* workout i have consistently done her *chest and back* and *core plank* routine
Cutting sugar, flour, pasta, processed shit
Working out: hit cardio and weights
Eating healthy
And consistency(for the most part)
pretty much just common sense...just gotta do it lol
Unsustainable
I also find that this is unsustainable for me. I love working out and I'm doing my best to eat more veggies, fruit and protein... but I could never completely cut out sugar and flour.
@@ina8099 basically when you're making a big change you need to ask yourself: 'Can I live this way for the rest of my life?...and is it really healthy for the body AND for the soul to cut something out completely?' The answer is always no :) Portion control is the best way to live your life unburdened by food :)
On point! Works for me. On my 4th week have to get 30 off I gained w my two girls.
Mykie, you are so strong for putting your measurements out there. 5 minutes in and you are already motivating me. You are the best for this video, it will get me out of my horrific quarantine slump.
This video is incredible!! Thank you for breaking everything down and being open and honest about how hard it really is. Such inspiration 🙌🏼♥️
I needed this so badly. I've always struggled with my weight. The smallest I've *ever* been was about 130lbs and I'm 5'3". Hearing her say that what was meant to be a 6-8 week process became a 5(?) month process was actually incredibly encouraging to me. And when she showed that clip of how hard it is to do without sugar, that made me realize I'm not alone. I have a sweet tooth, always have, and it undoes me every time. But after watching this, I threw my cookies away and haven't looked at them again. I kicked soft drinks before, and I can do it again. Living proof here that sugar is addictive because I don't even *like* soft drinks and I seem to keep drinking it somehow.
I feel empowered after watching this, and that's something I haven't felt in a long time.
Telentropy X I always think it’s harder for us people on the “shorter” side as well, there’s just not as much body to put the weight on as there is with a taller person and it’s so much more noticeable on is when we gain 5/10 lbs vs not even noticing that on a taller person. I don’t know if that makes muck sense and it’s probably not very scientific but it’s just always how I felt about the topic.
I think instead of pounds and weight, we should strive for where we feel most healthy and comfortable, because you truly can feel added weight on you, so aiming for where you feel the best and look the best, if that’s important to you, but mostly where your body is most healthy and efficient.
I hope you are doing well and things are going great!
u came out the womb 130 lbs? damn
I loved this vid, although I’d say im pretty healthy I definitely learned some tips! I guess you could say im similar to the ‘old’ you im a dancer and im 17. I’ve ALWAYS wanted a toned body like the “11” abs and a toned booty. You def inspired me and i really want to get a trainor but like i said im 17 lol.
You go girl!!!
It's because sugar is a drug more addictive than cocaine, and you are addicted to it.. Just like me, and just like almost everyone who is 40+ lbs over weight. It's harder to kick than cocaine too cause it's everywhere, in everything, being advertised at you constantly, on every street corner and social event. Imagine someone trying to quit cocaine or cigarettes with it being so incredibly socially acceptable and all pervasive. Its the hardest addiction to fight.
I only need to loose 10 to 15 pounds and want to slim up my waist. But junk food is my weakness and I give in TOO easily
Just eat one combo meal a day lol i dont recommend it but, if you eat one combo meal a day which is generally under 1900 calories you can still lose weight
Takes practice. Start you can do
If you live on your own, and buy your own groceries, it is easier to cut yourself off of sugar if you just don't buy it. And when you're at home, make sure it's not in the house, so then you might crave it, but have no access to it. There is probably gonna be a sugar withdrawal period, since it is an addiction, but once you make it out, it's a bit easier to stay off.
I’ve been trying flexible dieting and it’s honestly help me lose 11 pounds and I can have a cookie sometimes as long as it fits in my macros
lucky. i need to lose about thirty pounds
This is one of the few videos on CZcams that I have watched many times - I keep going back to it every time I'm unmotivated and it seriously helps me every time - now I have a new gym membership and I'm ready to go - thanks Mykie for keeping me hyped up and getting me in the spirit to workout and get fit all over again :) ❤️
Her trainer now has an online service! It’s amazing, gives you a work out everyday and tells you how to do it, how many reps ect. Yay!
When i quit sugar I had a headache for like 5 days strait, it's insane how addicted we are and don't even realize.
Yup, After a couple days of not eating it I smelt it and felt sick
Well crap.
This is what my friend Amber said. She said it was like having the flu. But she quit sugar, dairy, gluten, and all processed foods at the same time. Cold turkey. She took a week vacation to withdraw from it. I need to cut down or eliminate my sugar... it's a problem.
i cannoooot cut out sugar to save my life 😪 i’m just like 20 pounds overweight but i have a MAJOR sweet tooth.. like i need to have sugar every single day
I tried cutting sugar for a week and at the end of the week I literally passed out
Re-reading this with coffee that has 2 spoonfuls of caramel I made, and cream. At least I'm not alone. Hang in there friends.
Fine I'll cut the sugar for a month but I'm not going to be happy about it.
Rose Juliette lol i feel the same
Agreed.
Glam&Gore thanks for your support and inspiration. I am on day 3 sugar free. I'd love to know how others do breakfast. The only healthy breakfast food I have found is sugar free musli. I'm thinking of moving towards the two big meals like you did. I'm vegan though so I need to figure out a good meal plan. It helps that I can cook.
Rose Juliette I’m a vegetarian and for breakfast I make a smoothie (spinach, blueberries, strawberry (any tipe of berry lol), 1 banana and one date) with coconut milk, if I feel like I need something more I have the smoothie with oat meal!
I'm addicted to sugar, salt and sugar-free soda. Should I cut everything at once or do it one at a time? (Also I have gone 6 months totally soda free before but I was still craving it, is that weird?)
Wow that was tremendous and I'm in awe of your hard work. You worked very hard and walked away looking like a super model. I just love how professional Steve was throughout but still laughing and making you feel comfortable. Well done you two. I'm inspired.
Open, honest, and no gimmicks. It’s appreciated !!
Mykie: “I can’t do strict diets, it’s just not bearable for me so I went for something easy”
Me: “Oh cool! Finally something that I may be able to apply”
Mykie: *eats nothing but spinach, turkey and beans every day and completely cuts sugar*
...the audacity, the betrayal.
IKR
LOL 😂
And shelooked great before
She got me in the first half
She can't cook... I almost feel sorry for her. Maybe it is good for weight for the fact that she can go on and just eat simple things repeatedly...
I tried cutting lots of sugar from my eating habit but wasn’t ready to fully go sugar free. Your video makes me want to have the strength to fully cut sugar from my food. Thank you for this ❤️
Sandra ter Stal You’ve got this! 💪🏻💕
Me too! Let's do it! :D
Aw man... came back to this video because I'm wanting to start an exercise and diet plan for myself and literally started crying. I didnt realize how much I missed your videos!! Thanks for being a beautiful inspiration Mykie!!
it’s crazy how similar we are at, same body type, same weight, same eating habits. This helps so much
Mykie: a personal health video!

Summary
Eating: cut sugar, eat 5 hours apart, cut processed food, try cutting salt, intermittent, fasting, calorie deficit
Drink: 1 table spoon of apple cider vinegar before eating with 1 cup of water
Workout: get a good trainer/professional that can help you reach your goals, learn how to breath for all exercising
Overall: Don’t be too hard on yourself, if you fail get back up, Don’t be super strict if it’s unrealistic
thank u sm
Thanks
thanks, she talk wayyy too much
Thanks you for helping on, this videos drags and drags and drags.
THANK YOU! I was done after the 5 minute disclaimer...ugh!
Thank you soooooooooo much for this video. It’s so refreshing to see a youtuber who cares enough to be extensively informative on a subject that includes everyone. You look absolutely amazing!! Great job.
I never thought I was capable of spending almost an hour on just one video. This video is so much fun and inspiring, I love it. The end where she and Steve looked so happy with the results made me happy too. Seeing someone getting a result after making a tremendous effort is so nice
I swear everytime I lose motivation to workout and eat healthy i just go back and watch this video and I always get back on track. You are so inspirational!
samantha lang Me too! This video changed my life. I quit sugar after I first watched it, and was successful for a few months but recently fell off the wagon because of unlimited free snacks at a new job (horrible!), and now re-watching to re-motivate. I feel so inspired by her. Mykie was right about sugar withdrawal-it’s so brutal! I’m dreading going through the withdrawal process all over again, but it’s so worth it to have that kind of energy!
Hi
As I am starting my fitness journey, I found this incredibly motivating. I wish you the best long on your journey!
SAME❤️
I love how u truly explain how each day was really hard for you to eat sweets and yet you pulled it off girl people are quaking
I’ve looking this video for YEARSS, I saw it once and I remember it gave me motivation and discipline, I’ve been looking for it ever since and I FINALLY FOUND IT, Thank you for making this video I love it and it’s really motivated
i remember vaguely watching this when you first posted this, watching it again now, wanted to say thank you thank you and thank you for being you and sharing your journey. helps people, and me, to know we are not alone in how we feel / are. youre a beautiful soul.
Seeing how proud Steve was with her progress at the end is so wholesome
Mary Francis I know, that was so awesome to see.
I love her mindset on her whole fitness journey its a real eye opener. For someone who had an eating disorder and still struggles with food your approach to weight loss is so healthy
Like I said, I still struggle with wanting the real bad stuff sometimes, but it's that overall progress towards wanting/needing it less that matters! Hope you remember that too as it sounds like you've improved from your ED
honestly brilliant video seriously Maykie youre amaazing for doing this :)
I had the same reaction when I cut sugar, flour/grains and dairy , but had a withdrawal reaction to the grain too. It was the healthiest I’ve felt in my life, did it for about six months, lost 40lbs but just couldn’t sustain it any longer. Hard thing is that I’m disabled and between not being able to be active and needing to rely on other people for help sometimes means that it’s hard to stay consistent on a diet or loose weight. I’m really happy for you! You’re looking amazing, I’m glad you found your answer!
The biggest transformation is the inner personality which is not from the weight loss but the journey. Confidence and the deeper sense of self shines through. Congrats!
You look BOMB!!! You found such nice words at the beginning of this video. Thank you for that! Your progress is really motivating. Love you mykie ❤
i literally thought "you look bomb" and then read it here lol
When you said you feel like you cracked a code, I totally felt that. The same exact thing happened to me in the last week after trying to lose the last 10 pounds for the past 3 years after my son was born. Had a body analysis done and found out I haven’t been eating enough this whole time and that I needed WAY more protein. Ive already lost a pound this week. I kinda want to cry with relief because I thought I was doomed to never feel fully comfortable in my skin again! Congrats to you!!!
5 years later and I still find this super inspiring
Mykie we need another video!!! I watch this one over and over and over again for my motivation. ❤️
Most helpful fitness video I have ever watched. Thank you so much for this, I really have been feeling lost at the gym lately and this was exactly what I needed.
50 MINUTES OF MYKIE ? HELL YEAH! DO I WANT EVEN LONGER VIDEOS? *HELLLL*
*YEAAAHHH*
Dude your profile pic is BOMB
God I love this documentation, you're so vulnerable, human, funny, and genuine here. This video will age well.
Every once in a while, I come back to this video to get motivated. Thank Mykie!
I’m glad you mentioned that often today people, especially women, are shamed for working out. I just started my path and it’s similar to yours. I just want to get toner but I’m constantly berated for “not needing to lose weight.” I know I don’t *need* to lose weight but I want to. And it feels nice to see someone share the pain of being put down by people who claim to be for women and body positivity.
Kristen Nowlin It's not something that many people speak about so I also found it cool that she voiced it
Because I am the exact opposite, I am thin and people say I look perfect because they weight more but I want to get thicker with muscels which nobody wants to understand
Like you said need and want are two different things and people forget that their view of beauty and "need" is different from other people and that it should be respected
I don't know that people berate others for not needing to lose weight unless they are very thin/healthy looking and it would make them unhealthy to be slimmer. If several people are telling someone they're going too far to lose weight for a thin person, I'm sorry but that sounds like the person may have a problem with body dysmorphia. If several people are telling you, you dont need to lose weight, honestly it's not to be compared to being told you need to lose weight by others, as being thin is the socially accepted standard. A lot of my friends who are quite thin would go to the gym just to get muscles or have their body look more fit, and that's fine. But one of them got very very thin by not eating and gymming and I did have to tell her to chill, because it was unhealthy. Anyway, I don't know your situation at all and I am just a stranger, but from a person who has experienced a lot of sides of this I just wanted to say - please be healthy, it will make you happier in the long run.
Yes! Thank you x
Ragini you basically made her point.
Kristen Nowlin agreed. I have had a past of disorderly eating and restriction. Then I finally recovered and stopped caring about what I ate (I still worked out). Now I am at the point where I want to tone up and eat healthy so I feel confident. I am doing it in a very balanced way where I still eat treats and enjoy my life, but my main goal is to make better choices. I have a few friends and family who just consistently bug me about my goals. I get why they are saying it but they also see me letting loose and balancing the goals with indulging. I have others goals in my life too, but fitness is one of them. I don't mean to sound high up on myself but I think that sometimes it comes from a place of envy because they feel like because you are changing for the better they should too and they might not be ready.
okokok real talk. i usually absolutely hate watching long ass videos about health, but you made this genuinely interesting and relatable and truthful and AHHHH. ily mykie girl, keep doin you boo.
What made this so much more motivational and inspirational is that Mykie talked a lot about the issues she faced with working out and eating especially. She spoke about what worked for her and that she had cheat days as well which makes you feel less guilty when you have one XD
love this. no ads that interrupts every 8mins
The thing that stuck out for me in all of this is the fact that this was a *six month* process. I'm deffy in the obese category, so you know I've tried any and everything under the sun but i realised i'm not giving myself enough time, like at all. I'd set these crazy unrealistic things like drop all sugar cold turkey for a month or trying to jog 2,000m everyday for the next week when its been like three months since i had last done anything. I'm going to go back, re-evaluate with realistic goals and hopefully I'll achieve them this time
scholastic goals you can do it!! It’s a process! 💪🏻👍🏻
Cat Harmon thank you =3 I'll give it my best shot **hugs**
Best of luck! I have faith you can do it😊😊
Yeah, believe me.. had I known going into this video that it was going to be six months and not six weeks, I would’ve been completely overwhelmed and intimidated. I’m glad it accidentally ended up that way because as much as I’m an impatient person when it comes to fitness results, the lasting changes really happen slower than what will come out of quick fix type approaches.
Glam&Gore (OML my heart O_O) Yeah =/ I honestly have to look at things in like weelky intervals because saying a year or even a few months can feel like staring up at Mt. Everest 😨 I'm trying to do little changes at a time like using one less slpenda packed when i make tea, or doing fire hydrants while I study. Or even remembering my asthma meds so chest tightness won't discourage me
Love that Steve has been able to help Gabbie and Mykie change both their lives for the better 💕
Me: Oh I'm going to get fit now, no more binging on junk food! Everything in moderation! Healthy balance!!
Parents: My baby is starving?? My baby is ill?? My baby is so thin a breeze could wisp her away?? Hark! Hark to all! We must buy three pizzas, popcorn shrimp by the thousands, and convince our child to eat it all in one setting! If this does not work, we must plant her in the ground to make her grow!!
Felt that
Hilarious
😂😂😂😂
Keep living the change even if your family eats the same.
I cut out junk food and sugar to lose 20 pounds and at one point my mom got in my face saying “you need protein”, “you need protein” raising her voice “you’re going to need protein”. Keep in mind I was 137 at 5’3” and have over the last year and 3 months more or less steadily lost a little at a time and I’ve lost 17 pounds and I’m 120 now. I could even lose another 5-10 pounds as long as I took it slowly and still be ok health wise, I was in no way cutting out protein.
Thank you so much for taking the time to make this video! It has really helped, I struggle with my eating and lose hope but thanks to you I have hope again! Also I love your honesty and true you are! Thank you again!
God I appreciate this video so much. I’m 30 minutes in and honestly, this is the first fitness video I’ve watched that has me feeling... actually kind of motivated?
I know right!!!!!! same!
WTFdanni same
Right!!!!
dannikancho same!!!!
What a fantastic trainer! You guys both have the most fabulous attitudes about being healthy. So proud of you and can't wait to see the bikini contest stuff too!
This is so inspiring! And omg the end results, amazing! I gave myself the challenge to exercise well for 3 months starting this month. Just to see what I'm capable of, combined with healthier meals. Hope you'll reach your goal soon! 😊
From 4 years ago when you posted this video to referencing time and time again throughout the past 4 years, this has been the most motivating video to get me inspired and hopeful to lose weight. Love you forever Mykie!❤️🫶🏻
Some things I either cut out of the video for time (lol) or neglected to mention and should've:
-I'm 5'3".... and a half
-I MAJORLY upped my water intake as well (to what a normal person should be getting but I used to be notoriously horrible at drinking enough water and changing this helped me a lot)
- water is the ONLY thing I drank......... outside of my cheats with vanilla coke
-When I say sugar I mean refined, process sugars. Natural sugars like fruits are fine (though I didn't really eat any fruit just cause I'm not a big fan of em).
You’re an amazing inspirational person :) I really needed a video like this today!
I'm the same height exactly and I've never met anyone who is 5'3 1/2! Don't know why but that makes me happy.
😍 👍
Glam&Gore this is the motivation I needed!! You look great!!
Glam&Gore do remember tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, zucchinis, eggplants, pumpkins, etc are also fruit ;)
I have completely cut sugar and carbs for 6 months doing a keto diet, and I agree with Mykie. I have never felt so much energy, such great mood and simply so healthy before. I wish I can go back to it as soon as life allows me to. (yes, life does get in the way and it sucks)
Agnès B I was on keto also and it worked so well! But I fell off the wagon for a little bit and I’m trying to get back on it.
I cut sugar when my mum found out she was diabetic about 6 years ago, solidarity you know. Its changed my taste so much, not my weight really. I also cut salt from my diet 15(ish) years ago, that really changed me, normal amounts of salt to most Americans makes me sick. Headache, stomachache, nausea, lethargy.
Good luck when you introduce carbs back into your diet. Your metabolism is going to hate you.
Caitlyn Hadolt that's why you introduce them 5 to 10 g a day extra
Brown rice and veggies, like carrots, are ways to introduce carbs into an elimination diet that shouldn't destroy their metabolism. And they might mean they cut out all simple carbs, which is sutainable if you try hard enough.
The way Mykie just speaks and makes this so fun. I’ve watched this for so many times now and I never get sick of it
I hope you do an updated version of this one day! Glad to see you’re still doing so well with everything over on instagram
