White Okay th-cam.com/users/postUgkx6K7NWahp9y3ir1gVAwysOCHOOPSnWZbw . I got it from my browser's history. I know that it's really frustrating to be over-weighted but all is possible with a strong determination. Good luck…..
Lucy Lismore yes! I still do this too lol it’s such a mental game sometimes. Learning and research is important but no one knows everything! I get stuck in feeling like I don’t know enough to do something yet, because there’s sooo much information out there it can be overwhelming but just gotta take one small step at a time.
This is a great video. Good quality content. I've lost over 140lbs since May 2019. I tried to keep my health as my top priority. I only weigh myself once a month. Everything you talked about is things I've done or wrote about in my health and fitness journal. I keep educating myself and evolving as I go. Thank you for the quality of your videos. They truly help.....💪💕
To anyone who's reading this: You are strong. You are beautiful. You are powerful. Remind yourself that working out is not a punishment for what you ate, but a celebration of what your body can do! I hope you have a fantastic day :))
Thank you for sharing this! Reducing my calorie in take by eating less snacks and more lower calorie more filling foods like veggies, protein, & popcorn has been the only way I’ve been able to lose weight. Love your videos! 😊

Lucy thanks, as a 46 year old dad, you have motivated me to train again and start calisthenics which I was procrastinating because of an infinite number of stupid reasons. Thanks million!
Thank you for this. I need to refocus and take that step. I've always came up with excuses and self sabotage my progress. I was doing better before the pandemic but being stuck at home with sweets made me regain a lot of weight.. i hope I can do better
It’s always full of ups and downs but you’ve got this!! It’s great you can recognise places to improve and what you’ve done well. Keep going and thank you! ❤️❤️
You are so motivating, Lucy. I’ve lost 15lbs (7 kg) so far. I feel like I still have so far to go and don’t feel like I really know what I’m doing, even after taking a nutrition class ( I’m back in college for the first time in a long time). Right now I’m about 200 lbs (91 kg) and I would like to lose about 60 lbs more (27 kg) maybe? You keep me from wanting to give up. You remind me healthy weight loss is slow and steady and sometimes really slow is ok and to celebrate the small successes. Now I want to add in more movement and don’t overthink that either, just start small. Thank you for everything!
I have to say that listening to someone talk about it this simply and positively brought me to tears bc I get this excitement to start but then i procrastinate and focus on perfectionism THANK YOU
Very informative video :) I’ve been in a 1000+ calorie deficit for 10 weeks now. Cut out sugar, exercised regularly, did yoga almost everyday - lost 12,5 kg so far and my resting heart rate went from 84 to 58. I use my Fitbit and the app to track my calories. Works like a charm.
Blessed girl in the beginning mostly walking and I did yoga with Adriene almost every night (30 day Home + Dedicate). After about 6 weeks I started running once, sometimes twice a week (4-5km) and the rest of the time I go for walks. I think building up muscle with yoga and getting that “walk more” mindset was the key for me. (FYI I started at about 100kg)
Ren Tro do you mean that the daily calorie intake is low or that the deficit is too small? I eat on average 1300 cals a day. If you exercise a lot you can eat more, of course. I upped my protein intake, mostly cut out sugar and can genuinely say that I’m not starving myself. The information I found said that a deficit of over 1000 calories won’t lead to sustainable weight loss for most people. Apart from two days I was able to maintain the deficit since early June now and on days when I exercise it tends to be over 1000 calories. My body is fine with it, my gallstones haven’t bothered me once, and my knee inflammation is almost gone :)
@@sarah.bea. Oh ok. I thought the way you made is sound, your daily calories are below 1000 because you mentioned that your deficit was 1000+ calories. I was like wow that’s a lot of calories to cut out but when you added in that you take 1300 that was more reasonable than below 1000.
I found your calisthenics video before I found your weight loss journey. In one video you said that you're just an ordinary girl. I say that you are an extraordinary girl and quite inspirational. I'm into my 8th decade and you have me moving around quite well. I'm in a functional body right now, but I would like to have even more balance and control when it comes to body. What good will it do to live to be 100 if I'm stuck in a bed with someone bringing me a bedpan and feeding me pudding with a spoon? That's not a good quality of life. We all age and you are teaching us on how to do it well. Thank you so much!!! You're quite the angel and so beautiful on the inside as well as....well obviously.....on the outside. Such a gorgeous young woman! It's not fair to have such good looks and be brainy too! :)
Thank you for this! I'm a big procrastinator too 😭 I need to lose 20-25 kg and I'd started exactly a year ago, but unfortunately fell off the track. Now I'm going to try again, I'll update how it's going (if someone reminds me). 💪
Update (3 weeks): I didn't buy a yearly public transport ticket so I HAVE TO either travel by bike or walk everywhere 😂 I also stopped using the elevator and I use the stairs to the 6th floor every day. Lost 0.5kg but gained 1kg haha 😀 but my Mi Scale says it's 1kg of muscles, so it's good ❤
Update (3 months in): Well. Winter sucks. 😆❄️ Stopped with the bike/walk habit for now, it's freezing cold, so public transport it is. Instead, I've been attending weekly ballroom dance classes - polka and country burns a lot. 💀 Reducing bread (not cutting off completely!), valuing sleep more (important!!!), and changed my mindset about exercise and walking - try your best, it's fun, play music if it helps :D Lost 4 kg so far!!! but it's 50/50 ratio of fat and muscle :( cardio is cool but train strength to keep y'all's muscles too 💪😎
Great tips! weight loss truly is a process. I’m seven months into my lifestyle change, and am seeing and feeling results-I just wish the weight could come off faster. I liked that you remind us of all the ways to track progress besides the scale . Thanks again, you look fabulous!
Hi Lucy, thank you for your channel. I'm 5ft 8in tall and in 2018 I weight 67kg. My motivator was that I was going to get married the following year and wanted to lose some weight for wedding photos. I went down to 61kg through intermittent fasting, jogging on my home treadmill 30 min in the evening and eating healthy. Two months before my wedding I had an operation on my wrist (I didn't fall off the treadmill lol) and thought it was best not to jog in case I did fall off being in a sling. My weight went up to 63kg, which was fine. After my wedding I started trying for a baby (still trying) and thought exercise might hindering so I stopped exercising 😔. I'm now 70kg but decided to do what I did the first time to get my weight back down and keep it down. I found that watching your videos whilst I'm jogging help me to stay motivated, keep a track of how long I'm jogging depending on your video length and also I forget I'm jogging as I'm focusing on something else. I think this last point helps me to keep going. I look forward to watching another video of yours tomorrow, etc... Thank you xx
Could you also talk abou how hard it is to get on track after you gained back some weight? I've been struggling to re-focus and get my stuff back after some months of losing myself
Ohhh I’m sort of making this video at the moment, because I have gained a bit of weight and am trying to get back on track from injury! It will be in a few parts but hopefully first one will be up next week! Xxx
@@lucylismore Hi Lucy. i've been struggling with my weight since very long time. i've always been the ugly fat person in every group photo and i remember i was the biggest in my kindergarten, primary school and also secondary school. i've tried doing my weightloss journey twice and the second time i managed to loss few kilograms ( 78kg-72kg). i am 160cm. now i gained weight, i weighed myself in scale and i got so sad, i'm 75kg now. i don't like the way i look and also i noticed i ate a lots sugary stuff recently and i guess that is why i gained weight again ? i craved sugary food because i've cut down sugar from my diet. i'm feeling very guilty and sad; i don't know how to start it again. i've tried IF and it didn't work for me. my goal is to reach 63kg in a healthy way. i'm planning to start exercise routine and balanced healthy diet again. i need some motivation. i really want to achieve my goals for a healthy lifestyle. 😔i wish i know what kind of exercise is good for weightloss; i'm a full time student and i don't have any gym membership.
You honestly have the most beautiful, inspiring energy. I've watched my fair share of fitness videos on TH-cam at this point but you are my absolute favourite. So much helpful information and you deliver it all like a friend. You inspire me such much! Thank you x
I've watched so many of these videos and this one is my absolute favourite. You were so empowering and realistic and helped to put a lot into perspective. Thank you! I subscribed.
I’m so glad I’ve come a cross your channel. You are real , positive, motivating . There’s so much confusing and conflicting content out there . I really align with your beliefs and values . Thank you xx
Thank you for talking about this stuff. It's motivating and inspiring to see others make so much progress and talk about how to do it in a healthy and realistic way.
this is the best video that i’ve seen about losing weight, you’ve basically condensed what people usually say about the kind of mindset we should have, but you also added some dash of reality in the video which impacted me the most. Thank you so much for the reassurance and kind words and I hope that you’ll continue progressing healthy and wealthy in your life! 🥰🥺
Best advice I’ve seen on TH-cam on weight loss, realistic, common sense and so true. Keep up the good work on this channel. Would like your thoughts on cardio and jumping rope for weight loss. Thanks

Just wanted to thank you for being you! You are such a positive person, your videos are so helpful, you're lovely .... I have a two year old I have 30 kgs to lose.... Your videos most definitely make me feel hopeful, and you're most definitely a positive ray of sunshine 😃.... Sending you kind regards from Argentina!
Hey Lucy, I've discovered your channel today and went through a couple of videos about how to start. I am at the point of my life when I am really struggling with myself and am trying to incorporate healthier lifestyle. It's been really hard, since I've been struggling with myself and my weight for really long now, with little to no success. Most of the times I've dropped couple of kilos, felt I wasn't loosing sufficient amount, pushed myself too hard and when weight stopped dropping felt very bad about my incapability to stick with a routine for longer than 2 months. I needed to hear your voice, calm and optimistic yet also realistic tips to find my will to try again. And not to be too hard on myself this time. Thank you, thank you, thank you! You rock!
Okay....I love this absolutely. I especially liked when you called out people who massively plan and buy things instead of just starting. I have a co-worker who at the start of working remotely converted an extra bedroom into a home gym. He bought an elliptical and treadmill and weights and benches and on and on and on. While he was waiting for this to all arrive, I asked him what he was doing right then. The answer was "nothing". I pointed out that if he would simply start with walking his dog once or twice a day that would be a good warm up while he waited. Nope. Now he has all his equipment but never mentions it. I suspect it's a room that makes him feel guilty as he walks by it.
Thank you so much for the renewed inspiration and info- it is easy to fall back into old bad habits. I just wrote out my goals and reasons, its so important to remember why you started in the first place! We all deserve to feel comfortable in our own skin and feel confident with what we are working with. Thanks again i'm glad I found your channel :) xxxx
Great video! Definitely reminded me of what I need to do to lose weight. I did it once and years later I gained weight again, I need to be reminded of what works without being so obsessive. Thank you.
Your videos have motivated me so much these past few days. I have felt so bombarded by all the nutrition and fitness advice on TH-cam. I just need to get started, start with the basics and learn along the way. Coming from you it sounds so realistic! Thank you 🙌
Subscribed to you here and followed you on Instagram. You are a ray of sunshine! You have a way of talking about weight loss and self-love in a grounded manner which makes you very relatable and the process less intimidating. Thank you!
thank you for this. I always think that there is a perfect way of being fit and you made me realize no one is perfect even when they look perfect or look like their masters of fitness
Amazing achievement, congratulation to every person who is trying to better the life he or she is living and not letting personal feelings to cloud the view of reality. Winning fights with Your own demons is one of biggest achievements. Learning to do that every day may get You closer to being Yourself more than anything else, and then You'll love Yourself.
Best thing that I learned that truly changed my prespective is that truly like you said, the number going down on the scale isn't and shouldn't really be the main marker.

Great advice. I’ve been struggling to stay motivated and not be so hard on myself. I’ve been eating healthy for about a month and a half and it has really helped me lose weight. I have a long way to go. Biggest issue is exercising. I’m so out of shape everything seems difficult. It’s hard to find exercise videos for people that are overweight and out of shape. Thank you for the inspiration and advice!!!
Have you heard of Holly Honjo? She does a lot of workouts specifically for overweight/out of shape/injured people because she was having the same issues as you so she decided to make her own modified workouts.
You are such a light I’m beginning my self improvement and you are helping me with your friendly approach to something that is so difficult 🥰 Thank You so much
Hi Lucy! I stumbled across your video and now Im a subrscriber, not nesseccarly because of the info itself - even if I absolutely loved it - but because of your persona! You are lovely and we need more voices like yours. So humble and not pushing your method as being the only way. Just giving smart tips. Thanks you! I am starting with taking photos today thanks to you...after not wanting to do it, for many weeks. Much love and happy holidays
Wow. This is such great advice that most people (including myself) take for granted. I really appreciate the way in which you delivered it and taking the time to say exactly what you did.
thank you for this, because of pandemic, I went home at my moms house and its hard to resist all the good foods she makes, I already achieve the body that I want, but now Im afraid I might get back to the weight my previous weight before 😂 I used to weight 83kilos and Im 5'3 before I came home here at my moms Im 62kls. now Im 65kls in just 3 weeks of staying in her house
Oh I can imagine how this is difficult (my mum is an amazing cook too)! The good news is that you can still eat the yummy foods just be mindful of portions and you'll be completely fine! Well done on everything you've achieved so far! You should be so proud! xxx
I have the same problem. At my parents I eat so much, not only their delicious cooking but treat after treat. It's like I have no control when I'm there. Any suggestions as to how to hold back? I always feel like I'm on holiday when I'm there. It's got to the point where I'm avoiding going.
Hi Lucy, i’m a new subscriber I found a few weeks ago and I’m so glad I did, I’m a fellow Brit I wanted to find a female influencer when it comes to losing weight and you really inspire me. i’m doing strength training and I absolutely love it I’m also experimenting with my food for more healthier option. I’m so glad that I found you on TH-cam.
Finally. Best video out there. I've been waiting for it. It really is indeed different take from many "traditional" tips out there. you gave me exactly the right kick to start with that I've been looking for, in the right time. Thank you. Love your videos. Do you have a tip for how to educate yourself around principles of nutrition and exercise? (your last tip). I feel like there are so many of different sources of information out there and they are really different from each other, and i feel like i can not trust them all or define what's reliable.
sharing my goal here and looking back on it, when i want to have achived it: I want to loose 7kg, because we are attending a wedding on the 21st of August. I started today, wish me luck
so well said! You are sooo right & though I already have been on the same side, it helps a lot hear this from somebody who is so successful this way as you are. thank you!

Thank you for this information. I have been exercising and keeping track of my calories daily for a month now and only lost about 3 pounds and it seems like I'm not losing anymore weight now. It's very discouraging. I am 46 years old. Is age a factor in how quickly you lose weight or do I just need to be more patient?
It's shown to get slightly harder with age due to reduction in muscle mass after 30, however it's minimal! Keep doing what you're doing and you will get there! PS. Well done for what you've achieved so far xxx
Finding it hard to keep up with my fitness training when I’m doing exams/studying + working, because I’m more tired and stressed, and tend to go for the quickest/more accessible foods which sadly have more calories. Do you have any advice for maintaining exercise and diet when you don’t have a lot of time ?
I don't have as much advice on diet because I struggle with that too, but we far as time, I do fifteen minutes workouts whenever I can! There are SO many options! Even if I am at work on my break I will walk around my office for fifteen minutes or stand in my cubicle and do high knees for ten minutes. ANY extra movement throughout the day is better than none when you're feeling like you just can't manage an entire workout!

Hi Lucy i just watched an old blog where u made mexican soup with dumplings, quick question what did u cook the chicken in inside the pan was it a little water only? Love watching u❤
Thank you for this wonderful video I told myself this year that I will lose weight and just make it my lifestyle ,and right now I was finding it hard and was being hard on myself because I ate something sweet so I'm glad I found this video it really made me feel better I like your channel and am gonna check out your content thanks for this it really helped me :) ❤️✨
Hi Lucy. I love your energy and smile, I feel like I can totally trust you when you talk. Thanks for making these videos. I've been subscribed for a while now. Regards from Barcelona😊
I usually manage to sustain a healthier lifestyle for a few months at a time, and then I end up feeling too tired to stick to it. I just feel like the habits that are supposed to make me feel better (like exercising a few times peer week or eating less sugar) just don't actually make me feel better... Anyone else have the same problem?
Ever since I turned 14 my dad would always buy take out and mind you I was medium skinny so I wasn’t fat or skinny but we ate take out every day and went out to eat. Now, at 17 I weight 108kg and I’m 5’8 or 9 and I’m not sure how to even start with the calorie deficit, working out etc. I have dropped some pounds but not sure if I’m put it on due to not owning a scale
I'm also 17. And I gained a lot of weight due to pills I took for medical reasons. I used to be very skinny, though I was 10 or so. I'm having a very similar issue as you. It's really hard to know where to start
Thank you for sharing your experience with all of us. I think one of the hardest point was consistency 😅. But we gotta do lo Dory in Nemo, just keep swimming. Lol love you all.
One of the problems I find with starting to work out is that I get enormously hungry within the first few days of starting to exercise more, and it tends to stick around that way until I give in and stop exercising again. I feel like I could eat everything in sight, and it feels so counterproductive to what I'm trying to achieve. Any advice?
I have been doing les mills challenges for over 7 weeks and still gaining weight 🙈 I have to add I’m not young anymore so my metabolism probably super slow I still struggle to do more then 30 mins of exercise it at least I enjoy them now lol hoping to start loosing soon thank you for this video ( ps I need to cut out bread and choc twists 😂🤦♀️)
Hey you ☺️ Keep going! You will see results trust me. I trained 3 months only to loose 5kg BUT I liked much slimmer and built muscles. And then for a whole month I stopped working out and had no diet at all. Ate a lot of junk food but STILL didn’t gain the 5kg back. So sports is key 💪
I'm 40 years old, can I still lose weight the same why I did when I was younger. I used to get up early to do cardio, but now I just can't, it feels so exhausting. Should I just do it after work?
You may not lose it as fast, but you will lose weight. Doesn't matter when you exercise, as long as you are exercising. It's calories in, calories out.

I know Im asking randomly but does someone know of a tool to log back into an Instagram account??
I was dumb forgot the password. I would love any tricks you can offer me.
@@lochlanbyron67 Do you have a iPhone? If you do, you can go to settings and click passwords. It should be saved in their if you are using your email.
your lazy end off u just tell yourdelf ur a perfectuonist
1. Set Goal
2. Get started
3. Take your progress markers
4. stop overthinking it
5. stay consistent
🔝🔝🔝
5 is my problem 😭
I’m currently obese and I’m only 21 this video is so motivating thank you Lucy for helping me start my journey to live a healthier life !
Gl!
How’s it going? We need an update!✨
@@lexivivid8073 I’m still eating semi good but I haven’t been motivated to work out lately I did lose 20lbs though !🥰
i'm 20 and in the same place! we got this. every day is a new opportunity
NOTES:
1. set your goals 0:43 - write your goals & understand your why, dig deep
2. get started 2:55 - no right or wrong approach as long as you’re consistent, choose an exercise you enjoy, mistakes are inevitable but it’s all part of the journey, sustainability > perfection 8:08
3. get your progress markers 8:54 - photos, measuring tape, clothes, journal. don’t be afraid to take photos, you might regret not doing so
4. stop overthinking it 11:20 - think of it as a lifestyle, it will take time, be realistic and just focus on enjoying what you’re doing (not the end goal), consistency is the most important thing (you’re in it for the long haul), stop comparing yourself, do what works for you
5. stay consistent 14:31 - you won’t be motivated everyday so just enjoy the process, educate yourself on nutrition & exercise (research & apply), reach out to like-minded people, think of it as a trial & error or experiment (it won’t be perfect but there will always be lessons to be learned at whatever level). you don’t need a plan, it doesn’t need to be perfect, stop procrastinating, overplanning, analyzing, & waiting for the right time and just take the first step: baby steps
my thoughts: it takes weeks or months for a wound/injury to heal. it took years for you to get to this point where you want to change. it’s definitely going to take time to undo those unhealthy habits & thought patterns that got you here in the first place. give it time. give your mind and body the time and space it needs to heal. leave the past behind; it has nothing to teach you anymore. you know what you need to do. you are capable of change and growth. you are capable of becoming the person you’ve always wanted to be because that is who YOU truly are. i believe in you ❤️

Thank you so much for the summary of this video..yr awesome👍🏾
wow thank you so much that actually helped💕
I appreciate this so much. Thank you!
Was doing so well then got way too obsessed with the scale & led me to being depressed & quiting. Re-starting again.

I honestly love this channel not only because it’s informative but because Lucy is so personable like there’s no bullshit and I love that.
Thank you so much Natalia, this means so much to me! 🥰 xx
I agree :)
This is universal advise for anything in life!! Don’t let yourself get in the way of just starting! 💜
100%... it took me my whole life to work out and I still fall for it 😅. It's always easier when you get going right?! xx
Lucy Lismore yes! I still do this too lol it’s such a mental game sometimes. Learning and research is important but no one knows everything! I get stuck in feeling like I don’t know enough to do something yet, because there’s sooo much information out there it can be overwhelming but just gotta take one small step at a time.
This is what I need it. It is realistic steps with lots of option to choose. Thanks, Lucy!

That’s amazing!! Thank you so much 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you for this. I need to refocus and take that step. I've always came up with excuses and self sabotage my progress. I was doing better before the pandemic but being stuck at home with sweets made me regain a lot of weight.. i hope I can do better
It’s always full of ups and downs but you’ve got this!! It’s great you can recognise places to improve and what you’ve done well. Keep going and thank you! ❤️❤️
You are so motivating, Lucy. I’ve lost 15lbs (7 kg) so far. I feel like I still have so far to go and don’t feel like I really know what I’m doing, even after taking a nutrition class ( I’m back in college for the first time in a long time).
Right now I’m about 200 lbs (91 kg) and I would like to lose about 60 lbs more (27 kg) maybe?
You keep me from wanting to give up. You remind me healthy weight loss is slow and steady and sometimes really slow is ok and to celebrate the small successes. Now I want to add in more movement and don’t overthink that either, just start small. Thank you for everything!
Thank you for Including metrics ❤️
I have to say that listening to someone talk about it this simply and positively brought me to tears bc I get this excitement to start but then i procrastinate and focus on perfectionism THANK YOU
Very informative video :) I’ve been in a 1000+ calorie deficit for 10 weeks now. Cut out sugar, exercised regularly, did yoga almost everyday - lost 12,5 kg so far and my resting heart rate went from 84 to 58.
I use my Fitbit and the app to track my calories. Works like a charm.
Hi what types of exercises did you do?
Blessed girl in the beginning mostly walking and I did yoga with Adriene almost every night (30 day Home + Dedicate). After about 6 weeks I started running once, sometimes twice a week (4-5km) and the rest of the time I go for walks. I think building up muscle with yoga and getting that “walk more” mindset was the key for me.
(FYI I started at about 100kg)
Isn’t 1000+ calorie deficit really low?
Ren Tro do you mean that the daily calorie intake is low or that the deficit is too small? I eat on average 1300 cals a day. If you exercise a lot you can eat more, of course. I upped my protein intake, mostly cut out sugar and can genuinely say that I’m not starving myself.
The information I found said that a deficit of over 1000 calories won’t lead to sustainable weight loss for most people. Apart from two days I was able to maintain the deficit since early June now and on days when I exercise it tends to be over 1000 calories.
My body is fine with it, my gallstones haven’t bothered me once, and my knee inflammation is almost gone :)
@@sarah.bea. Oh ok. I thought the way you made is sound, your daily calories are below 1000 because you mentioned that your deficit was 1000+ calories. I was like wow that’s a lot of calories to cut out but when you added in that you take 1300 that was more reasonable than below 1000.
I found your calisthenics video before I found your weight loss journey. In one video you said that you're just an ordinary girl. I say that you are an extraordinary girl and quite inspirational. I'm into my 8th decade and you have me moving around quite well. I'm in a functional body right now, but I would like to have even more balance and control when it comes to body. What good will it do to live to be 100 if I'm stuck in a bed with someone bringing me a bedpan and feeding me pudding with a spoon? That's not a good quality of life. We all age and you are teaching us on how to do it well. Thank you so much!!! You're quite the angel and so beautiful on the inside as well as....well obviously.....on the outside. Such a gorgeous young woman! It's not fair to have such good looks and be brainy too! :)
Hey Lucy could you please put time stamps? It's easier to look back at certain points over the time period.
Love your videos ma'am ❤️
Hey! Yes thank you for the feedback! x
Thank you for this! I'm a big procrastinator too 😭 I need to lose 20-25 kg and I'd started exactly a year ago, but unfortunately fell off the track. Now I'm going to try again, I'll update how it's going (if someone reminds me). 💪
Update (3 weeks): I didn't buy a yearly public transport ticket so I HAVE TO either travel by bike or walk everywhere 😂 I also stopped using the elevator and I use the stairs to the 6th floor every day. Lost 0.5kg but gained 1kg haha 😀 but my Mi Scale says it's 1kg of muscles, so it's good ❤
hi girl hope it s going great so far! xx
Update (3 months in): Well. Winter sucks. 😆❄️ Stopped with the bike/walk habit for now, it's freezing cold, so public transport it is. Instead, I've been attending weekly ballroom dance classes - polka and country burns a lot. 💀 Reducing bread (not cutting off completely!), valuing sleep more (important!!!), and changed my mindset about exercise and walking - try your best, it's fun, play music if it helps :D Lost 4 kg so far!!! but it's 50/50 ratio of fat and muscle :( cardio is cool but train strength to keep y'all's muscles too 💪😎
hi girlll how is it going
Great tips! weight loss truly is a process. I’m seven months into my lifestyle change, and am seeing and feeling results-I just wish the weight could come off faster. I liked that you remind us of all the ways to track progress besides the scale . Thanks again, you look fabulous!
Hi Lucy, thank you for your channel. I'm 5ft 8in tall and in 2018 I weight 67kg. My motivator was that I was going to get married the following year and wanted to lose some weight for wedding photos. I went down to 61kg through intermittent fasting, jogging on my home treadmill 30 min in the evening and eating healthy. Two months before my wedding I had an operation on my wrist (I didn't fall off the treadmill lol) and thought it was best not to jog in case I did fall off being in a sling. My weight went up to 63kg, which was fine. After my wedding I started trying for a baby (still trying) and thought exercise might hindering so I stopped exercising 😔. I'm now 70kg but decided to do what I did the first time to get my weight back down and keep it down. I found that watching your videos whilst I'm jogging help me to stay motivated, keep a track of how long I'm jogging depending on your video length and also I forget I'm jogging as I'm focusing on something else. I think this last point helps me to keep going. I look forward to watching another video of yours tomorrow, etc... Thank you xx
Yayy congratulations on the fitness gains! I hope your baby is on the way soon!
She is the absolute best content on weight loss! Love your simple, practical, no excuses approach. Keep the videos coming!!
Could you also talk abou how hard it is to get on track after you gained back some weight? I've been struggling to re-focus and get my stuff back after some months of losing myself
Ohhh I’m sort of making this video at the moment, because I have gained a bit of weight and am trying to get back on track from injury! It will be in a few parts but hopefully first one will be up next week! Xxx
@@lucylismore Hi Lucy. i've been struggling with my weight since very long time. i've always been the ugly fat person in every group photo and i remember i was the biggest in my kindergarten, primary school and also secondary school. i've tried doing my weightloss journey twice and the second time i managed to loss few kilograms ( 78kg-72kg). i am 160cm. now i gained weight, i weighed myself in scale and i got so sad, i'm 75kg now. i don't like the way i look and also i noticed i ate a lots sugary stuff recently and i guess that is why i gained weight again ? i craved sugary food because i've cut down sugar from my diet. i'm feeling very guilty and sad; i don't know how to start it again. i've tried IF and it didn't work for me. my goal is to reach 63kg in a healthy way. i'm planning to start exercise routine and balanced healthy diet again. i need some motivation. i really want to achieve my goals for a healthy lifestyle. 😔i wish i know what kind of exercise is good for weightloss; i'm a full time student and i don't have any gym membership.
You honestly have the most beautiful, inspiring energy. I've watched my fair share of fitness videos on TH-cam at this point but you are my absolute favourite. So much helpful information and you deliver it all like a friend. You inspire me such much! Thank you x
What a beautiful comment to wake up to thank you so much, it’s messages like this that keep me going thank you!! ❤️❤️
Thank you, I really needed to hear this. I’m the worst for planning but taking no action x
Thank you xxxx
I've watched so many of these videos and this one is my absolute favourite. You were so empowering and realistic and helped to put a lot into perspective. Thank you! I subscribed.
❤️ thank you x
I’m so glad I’ve come a cross your channel. You are real , positive, motivating . There’s so much confusing and conflicting content out there . I really align with your beliefs and values . Thank you xx
Thank you for talking about this stuff. It's motivating and inspiring to see others make so much progress and talk about how to do it in a healthy and realistic way.
this is the best video that i’ve seen about losing weight, you’ve basically condensed what people usually say about the kind of mindset we should have, but you also added some dash of reality in the video which impacted me the most. Thank you so much for the reassurance and kind words and I hope that you’ll continue progressing healthy and wealthy in your life! 🥰🥺
Best advice I’ve seen on TH-cam on weight loss, realistic, common sense and so true. Keep up the good work on this channel. Would like your thoughts on cardio and jumping rope for weight loss. Thanks
Just wanted to thank you for being you!
You are such a positive person, your videos are so helpful, you're lovely ....
I have a two year old I have 30 kgs to lose....
Your videos most definitely make me feel hopeful, and you're most definitely a positive ray of sunshine 😃....
Sending you kind regards from Argentina!
Awww thank you so much! Good luck on your journey, you will do amazing! Xxx
Hey Lucy, I've discovered your channel today and went through a couple of videos about how to start. I am at the point of my life when I am really struggling with myself and am trying to incorporate healthier lifestyle. It's been really hard, since I've been struggling with myself and my weight for really long now, with little to no success. Most of the times I've dropped couple of kilos, felt I wasn't loosing sufficient amount, pushed myself too hard and when weight stopped dropping felt very bad about my incapability to stick with a routine for longer than 2 months. I needed to hear your voice, calm and optimistic yet also realistic tips to find my will to try again. And not to be too hard on myself this time. Thank you, thank you, thank you! You rock!
Okay....I love this absolutely. I especially liked when you called out people who massively plan and buy things instead of just starting. I have a co-worker who at the start of working remotely converted an extra bedroom into a home gym. He bought an elliptical and treadmill and weights and benches and on and on and on. While he was waiting for this to all arrive, I asked him what he was doing right then. The answer was "nothing". I pointed out that if he would simply start with walking his dog once or twice a day that would be a good warm up while he waited. Nope. Now he has all his equipment but never mentions it. I suspect it's a room that makes him feel guilty as he walks by it.
I love how ahe simplifies this. Its so true
I started loosing weight couple of months ago and your video inspired me to go on. Now I have lost 15 kilos and never felt better :) Thanks
Thank you so much for the renewed inspiration and info- it is easy to fall back into old bad habits. I just wrote out my goals and reasons, its so important to remember why you started in the first place! We all deserve to feel comfortable in our own skin and feel confident with what we are working with. Thanks again i'm glad I found your channel :) xxxx
Great video! Definitely reminded me of what I need to do to lose weight. I did it once and years later I gained weight again, I need to be reminded of what works without being so obsessive. Thank you.
Your videos have motivated me so much these past few days. I have felt so bombarded by all the nutrition and fitness advice on TH-cam. I just need to get started, start with the basics and learn along the way. Coming from you it sounds so realistic! Thank you 🙌
Subscribed to you here and followed you on Instagram. You are a ray of sunshine! You have a way of talking about weight loss and self-love in a grounded manner which makes you very relatable and the process less intimidating. Thank you!
thank you for this. I always think that there is a perfect way of being fit and you made me realize no one is perfect even when they look perfect or look like their masters of fitness
Amazing achievement, congratulation to every person who is trying to better the life he or she is living and not letting personal feelings to cloud the view of reality. Winning fights with Your own demons is one of biggest achievements. Learning to do that every day may get You closer to being Yourself more than anything else, and then You'll love Yourself.
Best thing that I learned that truly changed my prespective is that truly like you said, the number going down on the scale isn't and shouldn't really be the main marker.
Very informative and encouraging . Thank you Lucy!

Great advice. I’ve been struggling to stay motivated and not be so hard on myself. I’ve been eating healthy for about a month and a half and it has really helped me lose weight. I have a long way to go. Biggest issue is exercising. I’m so out of shape everything seems difficult. It’s hard to find exercise videos for people that are overweight and out of shape. Thank you for the inspiration and advice!!!
Have you heard of Holly Honjo? She does a lot of workouts specifically for overweight/out of shape/injured people because she was having the same issues as you so she decided to make her own modified workouts.
You are the most genuine person I have come across on the internet. Thank you❤️
Awww this means so much to me thank you! ❤️
@@lucylismore ❤️❤️🌻
You are such a light I’m beginning my self improvement and you are helping me with your friendly approach to something that is so difficult 🥰 Thank You so much
❤️ thank you so much! Good luck with your journey 🙌🏻🤩
i like how fast you speak 😂 it keeps my adhd brain listening
😋 thank you! I always think it is too fast but I’m glad it’s good for you 🙌🏻❤️
Hi Lucy! I stumbled across your video and now Im a subrscriber, not nesseccarly because of the info itself - even if I absolutely loved it - but because of your persona! You are lovely and we need more voices like yours. So humble and not pushing your method as being the only way. Just giving smart tips. Thanks you! I am starting with taking photos today thanks to you...after not wanting to do it, for many weeks. Much love and happy holidays
Hi! Thank you so so much, your comment means the absolute world to me! You’ve got this 💪🏻💪🏻❤️❤️! Happy holidays and love to you too! Xx
@@lucylismore Thanks, and happy holidays 🥰🥰🥰
*enjoying the use of the metric system*
Thank you Lucy, this really helps...been feeling really down to do my workout today, I feel better after listening to you. 😊
Wow. This is such great advice that most people (including myself) take for granted. I really appreciate the way in which you delivered it and taking the time to say exactly what you did.
I needed this. Thank you Lisa!
thank you for this, because of pandemic, I went home at my moms house and its hard to resist all the good foods she makes, I already achieve the body that I want, but now Im afraid I might get back to the weight my previous weight before 😂 I used to weight 83kilos and Im 5'3 before I came home here at my moms Im 62kls. now Im 65kls in just 3 weeks of staying in her house
Oh I can imagine how this is difficult (my mum is an amazing cook too)! The good news is that you can still eat the yummy foods just be mindful of portions and you'll be completely fine! Well done on everything you've achieved so far! You should be so proud! xxx
I have the same problem. At my parents I eat so much, not only their delicious cooking but treat after treat. It's like I have no control when I'm there. Any suggestions as to how to hold back? I always feel like I'm on holiday when I'm there. It's got to the point where I'm avoiding going.
Am starting my journey on Tuesday 01 March 2022 will come back here in write my progress in April thanks for this video its just what i needed to hear
Hi Lucy, i’m a new subscriber I found a few weeks ago and I’m so glad I did, I’m a fellow Brit I wanted to find a female influencer when it comes to losing weight and you really inspire me. i’m doing strength training and I absolutely love it I’m also experimenting with my food for more healthier option. I’m so glad that I found you on TH-cam.
I always appreciate your honest and common sense approach weight loss and health.
Finally. Best video out there. I've been waiting for it. It really is indeed different take from many "traditional" tips out there. you gave me exactly the right kick to start with that I've been looking for, in the right time. Thank you. Love your videos.
Do you have a tip for how to educate yourself around principles of nutrition and exercise? (your last tip). I feel like there are so many of different sources of information out there and they are really different from each other, and i feel like i can not trust them all or define what's reliable.
The only video that actually helped me thank you
sharing my goal here and looking back on it, when i want to have achived it: I want to loose 7kg, because we are attending a wedding on the 21st of August. I started today, wish me luck
Good luck! Wishing you the best 💛
Good luck you got this
Great video, so helpful for all beginners out there!
Thanks so much! 🙌🏻
so well said! You are sooo right & though I already have been on the same side, it helps a lot hear this from somebody who is so successful this way as you are. thank you!

Thank you for this information. I have been exercising and keeping track of my calories daily for a month now and only lost about 3 pounds and it seems like I'm not losing anymore weight now. It's very discouraging. I am 46 years old. Is age a factor in how quickly you lose weight or do I just need to be more patient?
It's shown to get slightly harder with age due to reduction in muscle mass after 30, however it's minimal! Keep doing what you're doing and you will get there! PS. Well done for what you've achieved so far xxx
I love your messages! This is so motivating and positive 🥰 thank you so much ❤️
Thank you sooo much ❤️❤️
Wow, your results are AMAZING! You can be SO proud of yourself. Thanks for making the video 💕
Finding it hard to keep up with my fitness training when I’m doing exams/studying + working, because I’m more tired and stressed, and tend to go for the quickest/more accessible foods which sadly have more calories. Do you have any advice for maintaining exercise and diet when you don’t have a lot of time ?
I don't have as much advice on diet because I struggle with that too, but we far as time, I do fifteen minutes workouts whenever I can! There are SO many options! Even if I am at work on my break I will walk around my office for fifteen minutes or stand in my cubicle and do high knees for ten minutes. ANY extra movement throughout the day is better than none when you're feeling like you just can't manage an entire workout!
Hey Lucy. Thank u for making another video like this.
Thank you!! xxx
I really thank you for taking the time to share this detailed video with us. Very helpful!
So very encouraging!! Thank you 😊
This was a good video to watch!! Thank you!! Lots of good tips 👍

Hi Lucy i just watched an old blog where u made mexican soup with dumplings, quick question what did u cook the chicken in inside the pan was it a little water only? Love watching u❤

Aww thank you ❤️❤️❤️
Hi Lucy. I love your energy and smile, I feel like I can totally trust you when you talk. Thanks for making these videos. I've been subscribed for a while now. Regards from Barcelona😊
You are amazing. Everything you said makes sense!!
I love listening this girl. Great motivator.
Thank you so much for this video
I usually manage to sustain a healthier lifestyle for a few months at a time, and then I end up feeling too tired to stick to it. I just feel like the habits that are supposed to make me feel better (like exercising a few times peer week or eating less sugar) just don't actually make me feel better... Anyone else have the same problem?
Thanks for giving so many options!
Gorgeous! 😍Thank you for sharing your experience with others!👏👏👏
Such useful tips ! Thank you. Love your vibe
आपका धन्यवाद।
Thanks so much for the inspiration
Ever since I turned 14 my dad would always buy take out and mind you I was medium skinny so I wasn’t fat or skinny but we ate take out every day and went out to eat. Now, at 17 I weight 108kg and I’m 5’8 or 9 and I’m not sure how to even start with the calorie deficit, working out etc. I have dropped some pounds but not sure if I’m put it on due to not owning a scale
I'm also 17. And I gained a lot of weight due to pills I took for medical reasons. I used to be very skinny, though I was 10 or so. I'm having a very similar issue as you. It's really hard to know where to start
Очень мотивирует. Вы молодцы
I like your accent and thanks for the tips! can’t wait to start
Thank you for sharing your experience with all of us. I think one of the hardest point was consistency 😅. But we gotta do lo Dory in Nemo, just keep swimming. Lol love you all.
I'm ready to do this!
One of the problems I find with starting to work out is that I get enormously hungry within the first few days of starting to exercise more, and it tends to stick around that way until I give in and stop exercising again. I feel like I could eat everything in sight, and it feels so counterproductive to what I'm trying to achieve. Any advice?
So realistic! You are so motivating to me! Thanks a lot....
I have been doing les mills challenges for over 7 weeks and still gaining weight 🙈 I have to add I’m not young anymore so my metabolism probably super slow I still struggle to do more then 30 mins of exercise it at least I enjoy them now lol hoping to start loosing soon thank you for this video ( ps I need to cut out bread and choc twists 😂🤦♀️)
Hey you ☺️ Keep going! You will see results trust me. I trained 3 months only to loose 5kg BUT I liked much slimmer and built muscles. And then for a whole month I stopped working out and had no diet at all. Ate a lot of junk food but STILL didn’t gain the 5kg back. So sports is key 💪
whitediamondcube thank you 😊
I'm 40 years old, can I still lose weight the same why I did when I was younger. I used to get up early to do cardio, but now I just can't, it feels so exhausting.
Should I just do it after work?
You may not lose it as fast, but you will lose weight. Doesn't matter when you exercise, as long as you are exercising. It's calories in, calories out.

I follow your Hit video for beginners and enjoy it. Could you add some good resources for beginners, lot of confusing content on internet
