I hope they get a whole new mental image of what they look like. I hope they see themselves as we see them. I hope they don’t give up because I need them on my journey.
No truer words ! God only knows how many diets I’ve tried and been in 2018 I started keto and in 7 months I lost 57 pds and was at goal and what happened I started to do “ dirty keto” and that was it . Now almost a month ago I started keto again and this time I only need to lose 20 pds but I feel so amazing and I’m always always full cravings are gone . Life is good your both beautiful woman 🌻🌻🌻
I think it’s very important to remember that people love you your husbands family for who you are your journey has brought you somewhere that hopefully will make you happy but viewing the pictures you were absolutely beautiful both of you before and still are do what you need to do to be happy, but Realize you’re OK just the way you are and keto is not a diet. It’s a way of living for the rest of your life… you deserve to take care of your body which is taken care of you.
I thought the same thing. So pretty..... but many of us are full of shame because of our obesity. It doesn't help it when family, peers, and television/movies depict obese people as losers.... then we carry that guilt and shame. One thing to note.... your weight did not stop your husbands from seeing you as beautiful.
Your emotions are so raw...I'm almost in tears. I'm 62 and finally comfortable with the skin I'm in. I'm almost at my lifetime lowest and if I never lose this last 10lbs...I'm ok. You are both so beautiful!
10lbs is nothing! Try 100lbs. I have hypothyroidism and I struggle a lot. With Keto for the first time I have been able to lose 20lbs in 3 months. Other people lose much more, but it doesn’t matter. Watching this video gives me hope. I will keep trying and in a year, maybe I will be able to reach My goal or at least get closer to it. 💖🥰🙏🏼
@@myrnaparedes3475 work with your doc to get your thyroid at a good level. If your weight is stalling, it is probably something else. I’ve lost 100 lbs and my Synthroid has gone from 127mcg to 88 mcg because of the keto diet. No more Metformin, fatty liver gone. I went 2 flipping months without a lb lost but I thought why go back to eating unhealthy? Then bam , it started coming off. Intermittent fasting helps too.
@@myrnaparedes3475 . I understand how you feel. I am almost 68, with hypothyroidism and I am not having the terrific weight lose that others seem to be having. I have just begun trying 2 or 3 day fasting and that seems to help a little. I just keep reminding myself that it took me years to get this out of shape, so I will take me more than a few minutes to see real improvement. However, I am starting to feel physically better. Less pain walking up and down the stairs and I don't get winded as quickly. Ole folks used to say: "Slow and steady wins the race!" See you at the finish line!😃👍
I am going to watch this everyday. I thought I was the only person in this world that felt the same way you both felt. I hate having pictures taken of myself. I just started keto two months ago. I am diabetic and have high blood pressure. I'm on so many pills. I've lost 5 lbs and my blood sugar has come down almost back to normal. I watch you both all the time for new food ideas. When I get bored with the same thing everyday I watch you guys for ideas. Thank you. I am going to keep going because of both of your inspirations.
I just saw the pictures of me with my family at Christmas. My heart stopped. I looked like a fat mess with a fake smile. I didnt want to be in the pictures, as I didnt want ANYONE to look back at them and see me like that. How embarrassing!!!!!
Oh, girls (I know you'll never see this...), but your parents must be so proud of you. I certainly am. I'm 71 years old and weight has never been an issue with me, but the lack of control sure has. I couldn't be prouder of you for sharing this journey. God bless you both!
We get into the habit of eating a ton instead of small servings. Why? Who knows. I’ve been doing that since I was 13 and now I’m 72. I’ve lost a few times but…same song 30th verse! LOL I’m one month in to simi, kind of keto, but I’ve lost about 20 lbs. 🤞
This is the BEST motivational video I have ever seen on losing weight. And I’ve seen 100’s. When you see 1 fat shot followed by 100 glam shots posing, it’s not relatable. What you ladies said was relatable, 100% , and I am you. I have been back on keto for nine days and I know I can persevere. Enough is enough. I feel exhausted after taking a simple shower FFS. This is no way to live.
Hey ladies. That was the most raw, touching, heartfelt video I’ve seen from you guys yet. And Emily, you were truly beautiful on your wedding day, and I’m sure your husband was so proud to be your husband. We are our own biggest, and cruelest critics. I know how you felt, I’ve been there. You both have done an amazing job in an impressive but realistic way. And look, you are helping others. I applaud you and I thank you.
Didn't she look lovely on her wedding day?! I too felt big on mine, but actually seeing you and knowing how you felt to what you actually looked like, I'm going to cut myself some slack and say I looked lovely..
I just found your channel 3 weeks ago. I have been on a medically supervised Keto diet for a month now. I started at 365 and I am at 308 right now. I drank a couple glasses of wine last week and then had Chinese food afterwards. I have been trying to get back into ketosis for nearly a week and I have never been more frustrated and disgusted with myself. Thanks so much for your honesty, your candid video and comments and every recipe you try and post. It is helping me so much. This day far more than ever though.
@@kykids101 I had some stalls in the last few months. I had some skin cancer removed and had to have a hysterectomy due to fibroids in my uterus. I am back on track though once again and I am down to 277 pounds. It is my first time under 300 in 5 years.
You both have always been beautiful, but people don’t understand how bad you feel when you are uncomfortable in your body. The shame is awful. Congrats and thank you for the motivation and inspiration.
So true. Spent 30 years with the after baby weight then another crept on. I wish I'd done something sooner. It's really hard when you just hate your body.
I’ve been on keto a year now, took off a month because I hadn’t lost in months, and I feel so much better on keto again. My brain works better, and I am just happiest when I am controlling my food.
My sisters and I started keto (again) about 3 weeks ago. I am at the point where I would be quitting (again). Then I found you two! You are making a difference by sharing your truth. That’s what is also so inspiring!!! “Control what you’re eating TODAY” Keep sharing ladies!
Thank you for sharing this! Not gonna lie, I cried watching this. I have felt that same shame and anxiety over being so uncomfortable in my skin. I'm going on 6 months keto this month, probably a year and a half in total (this is the third time for me) and I am so much happier with myself that I have finally found the confidence enough in myself to start my own photography business. I am finally allowing myself grace enough to feel proud of myself for once, rather than shame of the things I haven't accomplished. I've lost over 50 pounds now and am absolutely not stopping keto! I allow myself a couple days out of the month where I eat whatever I want, but the next day immediately I am right back on it, no excuses. It's true how we as humans are so addicted to carbs and the sugary foods and stopping that addiction to those foods is so so hard! I'm so proud of you two and love having a channel that is so honest!! Thank you for this!! Y'all are amazing. Keto on!!
That is so wonderful to hear about you starting your photography business! I always had the same thoughts about my weight holding me back from trying new things/ business ventures! We wish you success in 2021!❤️-Em
Just went to my neurologist and I gained almost 20Lbs this last year. I started low carb about 3 weeks ago. Love you girls..thanks for all of your videos
Several years ago, I was close to 400 pounds and a size 24-26. Low carb and daily walking (no tracking, just sticking with my principles) got me down to a size 2 and stayed there for quite awhile but this pandemic has kicked me in butt. WFH hasn't fared well for me and I am cognizant I have derailed myself. Many lessons learned in 2020. Thank you for posting this .. I have been in your shoes more times that I care to count. I needed to hear this today. Thank you
We definitely know where you are coming from with the pandemic weight gain, I alone gained almost 20 pounds in 2.5 months! I’m just happy i regained control before i gained even more! -Em
@@ketotwins That's the cool thing once you are in the swing of things .. you can reel it back without too much damage (one hopes LOL) and know what it takes to get back on track. You ladies are inspiration!
Both of you are wonderful! Thank you so much! I was a teenager when I was told I needed to lose weight. I was about 40 pounds overweight. I didn't know anything was a problem. I'm now 72 and on Keto and intermittent fasting. I love it because when I stay on it I have no hunger! It's a miracle! If I cheat it takes 4 days to get rid of the cravings again. I'm doing so well. Your video's help so much!!
I love you ladies. My weight was 318 at one time. I lost down to 136. Then I rebound because I lost my daughter to a drunk driver. I gained back up to 234. Heartbreaking for me. I’ve been on keto sense April and have lost down to 198. Y’all are a inspiration. God bless you.
I am so very sorry for your loss...how devestating! I'm glad to see that you have been able to get back on track again. God's blessings and strength to you as you continue on your journey!
What an honest and vulnerable video! Thank you so much for sharing! There are many of us out here who have felt the exact same thing! You have done an amazing job!
I started again this year after falling off the second half of 2019. 1/20 I decided that I needed to lose weight for my sisters wedding which was 7/11. I went to buy the dress & the biggest size was 2x & at the time I was about a 3x. Since January I have lost 40 lbs & my entire attitude toward food & life has changed to make it more sustainable than the first round I had with keto. I’m so glad I found your channel, you two are so relatable. Thank you for your content!
That’s so wonderful Ash! 40 pounds is such an amazing accomplishment! Love that you have found a way to incorporate keto in a sustainable way!! ❤️❤️-Em
Oh my. You both touched my heart! I lost 51 lbs doing keto. I felt pretty for the first time. Then I found out I had breast cancer. I discovered my lump because I lost the weight. Chemo made me lose all my hair and made me gain 30 lbs back. Now I am struggling to get back on keto. I know it is because I look in the mirror and now see a gray haired old looking woman. Your blog hit a home run. I gotta get back on track. Thank you both!
@@ketotwins I love your channel which I just found. If I could get rid of this devil sweet tooth I would be better. Time to find your videos on sweets! Hugs to you both!
This is the MOST REALISTIC video I've seen in youtube, people normally shows before and after without the flaws and not saying how many times they "failed" before conquiering!!!! THANK YOU, you do motivate us
I considered myself a failure when I fell off keto. Everyone complimented me on my transformation. And when I fell off, I fell hard and gained all the weight back. I felt everything you both expressed. Thanks for being so real about it. I now am encouraged to try it again. Blessings to you!
Exactly why I have started again about 3 weeks ago. I am not giving up! I'm thinking about how far I will be in a year if I just take it one day at a time and KEEP GOING no matter what!! Thanks for this video!! 🙏🏽🙏🏽❤❤
This video is why I love Keto Twins and kept watching. You are talking about your experiences, vulnerable, what we can look forward to, Emily is talking slower, (LOL) the music fits perfectly, both of you are talking (not just Emily) and flashback to images. Thank you! My journey is I'm always gaining and losing the same 3-5 lbs and I'm just in the beginning stages...lost 26 lbs. but need to lose another 80 lbs. I know what triggers me (stress) to want comfort but then it puts me out of ketosis. It's not anything major but it doesn't help the weight loss. Cheating once or twice a week is not going to get me where I want to be. Thanks for providing these types of videos.
Beyond aesthetics keto is anti inflammatory. Cancer hates keto. Alzheimer's, anxiety and arthritis and so many other diseases improve with a antiinflammatory diet. I have heart disease. I was on the operating table talking intermittent fasting and keto with the heart surgeon. Sugar, not fat causes heart disease. Good health to you and thanks for the honesty.
I’m crying. I’m crying because I heard you. Yesterday was a very bad day for me, food-wise. I’m kicking myself for having made bad decisions. And today I see this. I needed to see this. The universe knew that I needed to see this. Thank you!! Thank you thank you thank you!!
I was 125 to 136 pounds from the age of 14 to 23. (I'm 67 now.) But back to back babies and a bad marriage sent me into binge eating and years and years of weight gain. I've tried so many diets over the years and I spent all my time starving and counting the minutes until my next meal until I just gave up. But at just over 300 pounds and telling my oldest daughter that I KNEW that I'd never live to the age that my mother did (91) and seeing the sadness in her face made me want to try again. But my 'tomorrow' didn't actually come until my oldest granddaughter got pregnant with my very first great grandchild. I knew that if I didn't do something I would not be able to enjoy my great grandchildren. And even though that pregnancy ended in a miscarriage I finally started on the very first diet that is changing my life!! And believe me when I say that I am lazy and I'm weak, but Keto/Carnivore is so easy that anyone can do it!! I'm down 42 pounds since March 2023. My excitement that it's actually working has kept me motivated. You young ladies sharing everything that I've felt myself over the years made my heart hurt for you! I am so glad that you started your journey at a much younger age than I did and I pray that you girls continue your videos!! I LOVE your content and fun!! I've spent whole evenings just watching your videos, learning and laughing with you!! Just the same as 'age is just a number' so is weight. You were BOTH BEAUTIFUL on your wedding days!!! That's what the world seen!! It was only your own inner critic that saw anything else. Continue to shine ladies!! We're all behind you, pushing you on!!!
Thank you so much for this video. I am on try 700 of some kind of diet and I have been on/off keto for the past two years. I am actually just trying to get through today. I am 73 years old and have never truly conquered this. I am at 269 pounds right now. So this video is very encouraging, even to an old lady like me.
You are so motivational. I cried like a baby after watching. I have been on keto since Jan 2018. Lost 65 lbs. I felt great at 188 lbs. I gained back 25 lbs through the pandemic. I've been trying so hard and nothing is happening. I'm stuck and have about 60 lbs to go. Thanks for this!!
I want to thank you for this. I have been on ketogenic lifestyle for over two years. I have lost over 158 pounds and I have fell off plenty of times. I know all that you have said. I'm 52 years old and not married. You really helped me today. Please don't never think that you don't help because you do. I just wanted to say a few things. Thank you both.. when you are over weight and a lone it really gets sad. You she others so happy and wish if you were skinny or pretty you could be happy too. So thank you so much for this video.
This really helped me 🥺 I just found your channel and it is the best thing I could have found right now. Thank you both! Thank you for restarting and for sharing it with us ❤️ I’m gonna restart, and I’m gonna do it this time. Thank you!
What an inspiration, you two are! I have been living keto since last November 2023. I love the lifestyle and am having so much fun with it. 6 months later I am free of all diabetes issues and my blood pressure is great. I lost 26 pounds the first two months. I rarely ever step on a scale. I look good and feel good. I plan on living keto forever. I watch your channel faithfully for new ideas and to laugh with you.
I am so proud of both of you. It’s really hard to hang your dirty laundry in public, and then to admit why it got dirty is even harder. U2 are the best and you’re keeping me on my keto lifestyle. It was hard work losing 150 pounds and I do not ever want to be like that again, but I get discouraged and you to always perk me back up. Blessings
I know the feeling of being so self concious that you can't enjoy those important moments. It's the worst feeling in the world. I have barely any photographs of myself, it's like I was never really here. I'm not doing keto again but I've started a low carb plan and it's not easy and it's probably the 100th time I've tried, but I think this channel may be helpful. The video was very relatable.
Trying on wedding dresses and feeling like a whale made me try keto. I felt terrible all the time and also hated myself. I was ruled by food addiction.i'm so glad I stuck with Keto. I lost over 20 lbs. It isn't as much as I wanted to lose but I feel better. Health has been my goal all along. I've been low carb/keto for 3 years and have maintained my 20 lb weight loss and am not ruled by food. I consider it a success and I don't even miss all of the crappy food I use to eat. Stick with it! Don't beat yourself up for slip ups. Guilt is not constructive. Just get back on it and make better choices, not perfect choices.
Your honesty really speaks to me. I agree that you were a lovely bride Emily (and you did not have a big tushy!), but your perseverance is STUNNING! Thank you for sharing your stories.
Ladies what an incredible video! Your honesty was very refreshing. I believe even this 72 year old can master weight loss. Thank you for this encouraging video. Bless you both! Beautiful inside and out💐
Have lost 60 lb on LC/keto and I still need the encouragement of this kind of heartfelt reality check. Bravo to both of you for what you accomplished and for your courage and caring to reach out a hand to those struggling behind you. You have to get over the "this is not fair....people eat xyz carbs all the time....I just want to lose this and be one of them again". You have to get to the place where you realize keto is a forever life style and not a "get out of jail card". Thank heavens one thing keto does eventually do for you is cure true hunger and allow the cravings to finally fade.
I’m on day 7 of my 3rd keto attempt. Family reunion coming up in 6 weeks and I am so ashamed to face my family after having put on so much weight. Yet I was just beginning to doubt whether I could really do this; this video couldn’t have come at a better time. Thank you for sharing so openly the very real pain behind this struggle.
If you stick to it you have a chance to make some real progress in time, and you’ll feel great! Take it one meal at. A time Jennifer! You’ve got this! -Em
You two were always beautiful at any size, never doubt that. At 78yr and my wife at 74yr both are so proud of the way you stuck it out and we watch all your new videos as they are an inspiration to us as we are trying to follow your adventures in the kitchen. Love, love, love you both. B & S🥰💓
I started Keto June 1st, 2020 and stopped Oct 1st, 2020. I had lost 35 pounds. Around Thanksgiving, I had gained 10 pounds and knew I had to start again. I started on Dec 1st and look at the video that you guys put up! I was struggling that first day so I was so glad to see this video! Thanks Ladies!!!
I just recently found your channel and am so glad I did. I was doing so well on Keto - I lost 70 pounds. Then, in August I lost my husband to cancer. I did not give a flying fart in space what I looked like or what I ate. I went right back to my "eat until I feel so full I am sick" way of life. I am now trying to regroup and get back to healthy eating and feeling better physically. I needed to hear what you guys had to say. Thank you so much for your honesty and straightforwardness.
I am so sorry Diane, give yourself some grace during this time and when you are ready make your first meal a keto friendly meal and you will be back on track in no time! ❤️-Em
I have a medical issue that doctors can't figure out. I have always been in great shape, ate fairly well, and even started body building training at one point. But now if I go for a jog, I gain weight. A 2 week stint of jogging 3 to 4 days with my kids to keep them active caused me to gain 20lbs in a month. Not a thing about my diet changed. For 2 years I counted calories and macros, lifted weights, tried various workout programs and would always gain weight with exercise and not lose a single lb with diet. I have been researching keto this whole time, and finally decided to give it a try 3.5 months ago. I've only lost 10lbs and only have 10 to go, but this video was extremely motivating... and no one would consider me obese. It doesn't matter what your journey looks like though... this video was so refreshing.
Thanks! This was a great video! So heartfelt and true! I’ve lost over 70 lbs but have been struggling with the last 30+ pounds and this really helped me to get serious again and do it!
Love this video. I have lost 40 pounds and was starting to struggle. I know I can’t go back to my old way of eating, but have indulged over the past 2 weeks and put on 10 pounds. This is so helpful to me. Thank you.
Thanks for sharing this. It’s been such a task for me to off load the burden of society’s expectations for how women should look. I’ve found that apart from that are my values about how I look. But in the end it has been my health that has pushed the button for me. I guess I just had to get scared to say goodbye to some of my beloved foods. Thankfully keto allows you to say hello to some satisfying alternatives.
We won trivia last night and they posted a picture of my fiancé and myself on Facebook. We have each lost about 30 lbs. over the past few months. I am within 10 pounds of my goal weight and my fiancé isn't far behind. It is so rewarding to view a photograph of yourself and not cringe. Thank you ladies for all the help you have given us.
I remember so vividly standing at the bottom of the stairs heading out to meet friends and feeling fat/unattractive ( prior to starting keto)…. My husband was at the top of the stairs and he said “ good-bye, have fun and I love you”…..I stood at the bottom of those stairs and looked up at him and said “ how could you possibly love me when I don’t even love myself”? That was the defining moment in my life because I often thought about hating myself for getting so heavy BUT I had Never said it “ out loud” until then……That was my defining moment! And that is when I discovered you two ( 👯♀️ Twinzies) and that is what helped change my life! ❤️
Love this guys...Thanks! Me, I've been pretty depressed but I realized that seeing the scale numbers go down brings me joy...so I stay on keto because it makes me happy when there's not much for me to me that happy about right now.
I commend you both on this presentation. I really think it was unique for you to use the milestones in your lives to tell everyone what you were thinking at those moments. Well done!
Another great video even though this video caused tears after watching "I can't stay on keto for more than a week! Why?!" Thank you for linking it. I am very inspired and will plan and starting working this hard journey and look forward to reaping the benefits. Thank you again ladies.
"If you don't start, you will never know if you make it or not" That's it for me. I'm a new subscriber and I hope to find motivation out of your videos. Thank you
Thanks y’all, I needed to hear that. I flip flop so much, I should live at the beach. I’ve come to realize that my struggle is all psychological bc I eat things i know I’m not supposed to then feel guilty but it’s like an addiction to sugar and carbs. 😞
We are carb addicts too! I know that I can’t control myself when I eat them. Sometimes you have to treat food addiction like you would with any other addiction.Some people might be able to eat carbs, but I can’t. I have to make the decision to stay on keto everyday, it gets so much easier as time goes on! -Em
I'm so happy for you ladies I never really had a problem I'm a 110 lbs but wanted to do more keto and I love it its hard tho , I have a husband who is a total carbeater especially on weekends! Hats off to anybody who can stick to it I have a GF who lost 100 lbs and she credits me because I dragged her to the Gym and you can do it It's also healthier to have less weight especially when somebody gets older
Wow. thanks for making me CRY!!!! I've been feeling like crap for weeks, and I think its because I had lost my motivation... I want to get back on track and finding this channel has been such a blessing. thanks for the advice
Thank you so much for this video. I am going to be 60 this year and have been struggling with morbid obesity for almost 40 years. I NEED to lose weight for my health. I WANT to lose weight for my health. I have felt like such a loser and watching this video has helped me realize that I am not alone. Thank you.
I have tears. I needed this video today! I started keto last summer and lost fifty pounds, after being diagnoses with NAFL hyperparathyroidism, and osteopenia. I already had HP, Sjogrens and RA. I have hit a wall for the last three months, no weight loss but no gain either. I want to lose at least twenty more pounds. I know I can do it. I am much, much older then both of you, I only have a few good years left. For them to be good years, I have to be healthier. Overweight, tired and retired are not a good match. I feel more motivated to get back on track now. I thank you both so very much for sharing your experience. hugs
😭😭This was so honest and raw. Thank you so much for sharing your journeys and the struggles that you guys have been through. It puts things into perspective and it’s comforting to hear that I’m not alone in these struggles! You two have really motivated me to change my life💜💜 Thank you 🙏 You guys are amazing.
Thank you both for this video you young ladies are so beautiful, I’m 74 and have been on Keto for around 2 1/2 months and have only 22 pounds, was 220 when I started my diet and hoping to get to 125 for my children and grandchildren and just maybe a longer life, thank you both again for the encouragement you give to others. May God continue to bless the both of you and your families.
Thank you for the encouragement! I was 113 lbs on my wedding day almost 44 years ago. Now I’m twice as big. It’s always been a struggle since I first started dieting. At 63 my goal is to be in good health by age 65. Your channel is very inspiring! Maybe when we celebrate our 45th or 50th wedding anniversary I will be where I dream to be! I think taking it one day at a time is great advice and spot on. My biggest problem with Keto is getting so bored with the food. Your recipes give me hope! Thanks again for the inspiration!! 💗💗
Thank you for sharing this and being so authentic. Only half way through the video and crying. This is me! Starting over for the millionth time at 45. I'm praying that having had cancer this year my mindset is where it needs to be to make a permanent change.
Hi guys, this was a really touching video! I can relate, and thank you being so vulnerable in your videos. I fell off of keto for about two weeks leading up to Thanksgiving, it was a choice that I made and I am back on it now.Your video really hit home when you said about how you felt during certain events and I think to myself thin feels a hell of a lot better than eating a non-keto diet. Thank you again!
I wish I had seen this video 40 yrs ago 😢 You both are so inspirational. So happy for you to have found your way still so young and to have your whole life ahead of you's. I'll keep trying , have lost 20 lbs and first time under 200lbs in 30 yrs. It's good, I don't have much time left but I'll keep trying.😊 Thanks girls you are blessed🥰🥰
Oh Rose, thank you! You still have time left and you are going to make the most of it by taking control of your health! Congrats 20 lbs! You’ve got this! -Em
Rose, I’m right behind you, getting closer to the 200 mark. Can’t wait to get below that first time in ages. So, thanks for leading the way, for this old gal!
This came up in my feed again- Feb 2023. I really needed it. I have failed over and over and over. I'm trying to get one day of a fast in and I almost gave up when this popped up. Thank you so much
I hope I run into you guys downtown someday so I can give you a hug or bouquet of roses (or if that's weird, maybe just a thank you). I was thinking throughout that you're both blessed with so much beauty. I was wiping tears from my eyes. A big thank you for sharing, I don't think you could know how many lives you affect by sharing your hearts like this. I'm new to your channel and keto. THANK YOU Emily and Sarah
That's surprising! Haha I definitely would say hello. I love your channel! I feel like I'd just watch it even if you guys were chatting. But the recipes are so fun and remind me, this is worth the effort and it's fun :)
Ditto found keto 2 years ago..wish I had known 30 years ago 63 now down 108 lbs 50 lbs to go..my fraise to family was head shot only ..with a fake smile..no more..here I am let's GO
It’s 4:21 in the morning on a crisp October morning. Every day, little by little, I’m making my way through your dozens of fantastically inspirational videos. I love them all. Especially this one. ❤ Thank you two.
Thank you for your genuine sharing. This means a great deal to all who are going through the same journey, especially women. I have been on Keto for two months and haven't lost much weight except the water weight at the beginning (and regain a couple pounds these two weeks). I am going on an a-week so trip soon and thought of taking a break from it. After watching your videos, especially this one and the new one on motivation, I decided on staying. You both are true inspirations. All the best :)
You’re vulnerability is so raw and heartbreaking. I feel this way all the time. I’m on track now, but this is a powerful, inspiring video. Just today, right? Thank you, ladies.
It is very hard to open one's heart the way you girls did on this video. The pain was there for everyone to see and everyone of us felt it and acknowledged it as our pain too. I personally will keep this to watch over and over whenever I feel alone in my battle. Love to you both.
This video hit my heart & had me crying, because I can so relate. I'm always self conscious, I do the same with pictures, "don't get me at this angle, only get me from here up." I have hypothyroidism, and while I shouldn't use it as an excuse, it's so hard to lose. I've been on keto on & off too for almost 3 years and the last 4 months is when I got serious and have lost 23 lbs. Still have 40 more to go. I could write a novel here about my weight issues, but I'll stop here. Thank you guys so much for telling your story! It helped more than you realize!❤️
I think you are both so beautiful! Thank you for your raw and honest conversation. It motivates me to keep going. I lost my husband seven days ago to cancer and my mom last month. It’s been so terribly difficult but I need to take care of myself. For my kids and grandkids.
😢 I am so sorry to hear that, so sorry for your losses. Please be kind to yourself during this time, Keto will be here once you are ready to try again if you can ❤️-Em
This made me cry.. Ive been off and on Keto so many times, I did great at one point, then something happened in my life, then I failed then beat myself up, and gave up.. ] This video really encouraged me to start again, and living one day at a time is really the key.. This is a great, encouraging and motivating video - Thank you both for sharing this..
I started in Sept, I was starting to feeling results, my siblings complimented me... then I went to a wedding in Oct beginning and sticked around visiting family, I ended up falling off the wagon.... I came back to my place this Mon and you have just motivated me enough to restart as I am struggling to press reset😢
This made me cry 😭 am 18 year old and around 180Lbs I don’t know how many times I’ve done diets and gave up , but started keto and walking around 2 weeks ago ,not seen any changes but just waiting and still motivated. I’ve struggled with weight loss for such a long time but I hope this time it’ll be a win.
Man, I can't even begin to explain to you ladies how much I needed this video today. Thank you both for sharing your lives with us. I'm so grateful that y'all did not give up. I'm starting keto and couldn't imagine doing it without your channel. You both are truly amazing inspirations.
I’ve only just come across your channel and I’m loving it. I’m new to keto after a long time trying to lose weight on a high carb diet. So I’m trying this way of eating. I’m on my second day. Also doing intermittent fasting.
Beautiful video and story. I too can see the sadness and defeat in both of your eyes in prior videos compared to now. Its amazing the difference you both have gone through not just physical but mentally. It truly shows. Much Love to you both!
Wow. This was so real!! Emily, I understand how you feel so much. This is most of my life. I am 5’10” and very much obese and this really helped me. Thank you for being so transparent! This helps me understand what I was experiencing and feeling was real and not just me being pessimistic as people always accused me of being. It’s real. But you pushed through! Sharing this gives me hope. Thanks so much.
I am crying watching this. I had lost so much weight last year- this year 15-20 pounds. I feel like a cow now all the weight is back- my body is huge. My self esteem is low. All my clothes are ultra tight. Although I have accomplished MAJOR THINGs last few months I am not celebrating this . Thanks for your honest transparency. Really heart felt video

I hope they get a whole new mental image of what they look like. I hope they see themselves as we see them. I hope they don’t give up because I need them on my journey.
I LOVE THIS POWER QUOTE!!!! thank you for the motivation.
No truer words !
God only knows how many diets I’ve tried and been in 2018 I started keto and in 7 months I lost 57 pds and was at goal and what happened I started to do “ dirty keto” and that was it . Now almost a month ago I started keto again and this time I only need to lose 20 pds but I feel so amazing and I’m always always full cravings are gone . Life is good your both beautiful woman 🌻🌻🌻
Oh how I needed this! 😌🙏🏽
I think it’s very important to remember that people love you your husbands family for who you are your journey has brought you somewhere that hopefully will make you happy but viewing the pictures you were absolutely beautiful both of you before and still are do what you need to do to be happy, but Realize you’re OK just the way you are and keto is not a diet. It’s a way of living for the rest of your life… you deserve to take care of your body which is taken care of you.
Wow Emily you looked so beautiful on your wedding day... wish you could have felt that way
That’s very kind of you to say! -Em
Yes you did look very beautiful- you both did!
Why don’t you alter the dress and re do a photo? Or perhaps thrift a bridal gown in your new size!💜
I thought the same thing. So pretty..... but many of us are full of shame because of our obesity. It doesn't help it when family, peers, and television/movies depict obese people as losers.... then we carry that guilt and shame.
One thing to note.... your weight did not stop your husbands from seeing you as beautiful.
Maybe she didn’t feel beautiful but the fact is, she is.
I agree absolutely beautiful
Your emotions are so raw...I'm almost in tears. I'm 62 and finally comfortable with the skin I'm in. I'm almost at my lifetime lowest and if I never lose this last 10lbs...I'm ok. You are both so beautiful!
Being comfortable in your skin beautiful thing! We are both working on accepting our bodies, but we are learning to be more kind to ourselves! - Sarah
We have to find the okayness where we are. We are so programmed by media images how we are supposed to look.
10lbs is nothing! Try 100lbs. I have hypothyroidism and I struggle a lot. With Keto for the first time I have been able to lose 20lbs in 3 months. Other people lose much more, but it doesn’t matter. Watching this video gives me hope. I will keep trying and in a year, maybe I will be able to reach My goal or at least get closer to it. 💖🥰🙏🏼
@@myrnaparedes3475 work with your doc to get your thyroid at a good level. If your weight is stalling, it is probably something else. I’ve lost 100 lbs and my Synthroid has gone from 127mcg to 88 mcg because of the keto diet. No more Metformin, fatty liver gone. I went 2 flipping months without a lb lost but I thought why go back to eating unhealthy? Then bam , it started coming off. Intermittent fasting helps too.
@@myrnaparedes3475 . I understand how you feel. I am almost 68, with hypothyroidism and I am not having the terrific weight lose that others seem to be having. I have just begun trying 2 or 3 day fasting and that seems to help a little. I just keep reminding myself that it took me years to get this out of shape, so I will take me more than a few minutes to see real improvement. However, I am starting to feel physically better. Less pain walking up and down the stairs and I don't get winded as quickly. Ole folks used to say: "Slow and steady wins the race!" See you at the finish line!😃👍
I am going to watch this everyday. I thought I was the only person in this world that felt the same way you both felt. I hate having pictures taken of myself. I just started keto two months ago. I am diabetic and have high blood pressure. I'm on so many pills. I've lost 5 lbs and my blood sugar has come down almost back to normal. I watch you both all the time for new food ideas. When I get bored with the same thing everyday I watch you guys for ideas. Thank you. I am going to keep going because of both of your inspirations.
You’re definitely NOT alone. Stay strong. You haven’t failed until you quit trying.
I just saw the pictures of me with my family at Christmas. My heart stopped. I looked like a fat mess with a fake smile. I didnt want to be in the pictures, as I didnt want ANYONE to look back at them and see me like that. How embarrassing!!!!!
Oh, girls (I know you'll never see this...), but your parents must be so proud of you. I certainly am. I'm 71 years old and weight has never been an issue with me, but the lack of control sure has. I couldn't be prouder of you for sharing this journey. God bless you both!
Thank you so much Sally! We read every comment and appreciate you watching us! 🤗 -Sarah
This is the most authentic genuine expression of the battle of weight loss I've ever seen. Thank you
Aw thank you
You two are treasures! Precious human beings!
We get into the habit of eating a ton instead of small servings. Why? Who knows. I’ve been doing that since I was 13 and now I’m 72. I’ve lost a few times but…same song 30th verse! LOL I’m one month in to simi, kind of keto, but I’ve lost about 20 lbs. 🤞
The road to success is falling down 19 times but getting up 20 times.
This is the BEST motivational video I have ever seen on losing weight. And I’ve seen 100’s.
When you see 1 fat shot followed by 100 glam shots posing, it’s not relatable. What you ladies said was relatable, 100% , and I am you. I have been back on keto for nine days and I know I can persevere. Enough is enough. I feel exhausted after taking a simple shower FFS.
This is no way to live.
Aww thank you so much! What a wonderful comment! 9 days in? You’ve already made it through the hardest part! You’ve got this! -Em
🇨🇦🌻🤗✌🙏👏
Lllp
Hi 👋, im one week in and I'm hoping I can stick with it this time. Need to lose about 100lbs. Did you stick with it?
AMEN to that. I just cried watching it.
Hey ladies. That was the most raw, touching, heartfelt video I’ve seen from you guys yet. And Emily, you were truly beautiful on your wedding day, and I’m sure your husband was so proud to be your husband. We are our own biggest, and cruelest critics. I know how you felt, I’ve been there. You both have done an amazing job in an impressive but realistic way. And look, you are helping others. I applaud you and I thank you.
You are too kind, thank you so much for your wonderful comment! ❤️❤️-Em
I totally agree! 👍
Didn't she look lovely on her wedding day?! I too felt big on mine, but actually seeing you and knowing how you felt to what you actually looked like, I'm going to cut myself some slack and say I looked lovely..
I just found your channel 3 weeks ago. I have been on a medically supervised Keto diet for a month now. I started at 365 and I am at 308 right now. I drank a couple glasses of wine last week and then had Chinese food afterwards. I have been trying to get back into ketosis for nearly a week and I have never been more frustrated and disgusted with myself. Thanks so much for your honesty, your candid video and comments and every recipe you try and post. It is helping me so much. This day far more than ever though.
Wow! That's amazing and inspirational. Thank you for sharing!
@@kykids101 I had some stalls in the last few months. I had some skin cancer removed and had to have a hysterectomy due to fibroids in my uterus. I am back on track though once again and I am down to 277 pounds. It is my first time under 300 in 5 years.
@@lisa-m-jennings How wonderful I am so excited for you!!!!!!!!!
One day at a time! Don't beat yourself up!
Really..in just a month??? I’m getting inspired
You both have always been beautiful, but people don’t understand how bad you feel when you are uncomfortable in your body. The shame is awful. Congrats and thank you for the motivation and inspiration.
So true. Spent 30 years with the after baby weight then another crept on. I wish I'd done something sooner. It's really hard when you just hate your body.
I’ve been on keto a year now, took off a month because I hadn’t lost in months, and I feel so much better on keto again. My brain works better, and I am just happiest when I am controlling my food.
My sisters and I started keto (again) about 3 weeks ago. I am at the point where I would be quitting (again). Then I found you two! You are making a difference by sharing your truth. That’s what is also so inspiring!!!
“Control what you’re eating TODAY”
Keep sharing ladies!
Thank you for sharing this! Not gonna lie, I cried watching this. I have felt that same shame and anxiety over being so uncomfortable in my skin. I'm going on 6 months keto this month, probably a year and a half in total (this is the third time for me) and I am so much happier with myself that I have finally found the confidence enough in myself to start my own photography business. I am finally allowing myself grace enough to feel proud of myself for once, rather than shame of the things I haven't accomplished. I've lost over 50 pounds now and am absolutely not stopping keto! I allow myself a couple days out of the month where I eat whatever I want, but the next day immediately I am right back on it, no excuses. It's true how we as humans are so addicted to carbs and the sugary foods and stopping that addiction to those foods is so so hard! I'm so proud of you two and love having a channel that is so honest!! Thank you for this!! Y'all are amazing. Keto on!!
That is so wonderful to hear about you starting your photography business! I always had the same thoughts about my weight holding me back from trying new things/ business ventures! We wish you success in 2021!❤️-Em
Just went to my neurologist and I gained almost 20Lbs this last year. I started low carb about 3 weeks ago. Love you girls..thanks for all of your videos
Several years ago, I was close to 400 pounds and a size 24-26. Low carb and daily walking (no tracking, just sticking with my principles) got me down to a size 2 and stayed there for quite awhile but this pandemic has kicked me in butt. WFH hasn't fared well for me and I am cognizant I have derailed myself. Many lessons learned in 2020. Thank you for posting this .. I have been in your shoes more times that I care to count. I needed to hear this today. Thank you
We definitely know where you are coming from with the pandemic weight gain, I alone gained almost 20 pounds in 2.5 months! I’m just happy i regained control before i gained even more! -Em
@@ketotwins That's the cool thing once you are in the swing of things .. you can reel it back without too much damage (one hopes LOL) and know what it takes to get back on track. You ladies are inspiration!
Both of you are wonderful! Thank you so much! I was a teenager when I was told I needed to lose weight. I was about 40 pounds overweight. I didn't know anything was a problem. I'm now 72 and on Keto and intermittent fasting. I love it because when I stay on it I have no hunger! It's a miracle! If I cheat it takes 4 days to get rid of the cravings again. I'm doing so well. Your video's help so much!!
I love you ladies. My weight was 318 at one time. I lost down to 136. Then I rebound because I lost my daughter to a drunk driver. I gained back up to 234. Heartbreaking for me. I’ve been on keto sense April and have lost down to 198. Y’all are a inspiration. God bless you.
I am so very sorry for your loss...how devestating! I'm glad to see that you have been able to get back on track again. God's blessings and strength to you as you continue on your journey!
What an honest and vulnerable video! Thank you so much for sharing! There are many of us out here who have felt the exact same thing! You have done an amazing job!
I started again this year after falling off the second half of 2019. 1/20 I decided that I needed to lose weight for my sisters wedding which was 7/11. I went to buy the dress & the biggest size was 2x & at the time I was about a 3x. Since January I have lost 40 lbs & my entire attitude toward food & life has changed to make it more sustainable than the first round I had with keto. I’m so glad I found your channel, you two are so relatable. Thank you for your content!
That’s so wonderful Ash! 40 pounds is such an amazing accomplishment! Love that you have found a way to incorporate keto in a sustainable way!! ❤️❤️-Em
Oh my. You both touched my heart! I lost 51 lbs doing keto. I felt pretty for the first time. Then I found out I had breast cancer. I discovered my lump because I lost the weight. Chemo made me lose all my hair and made me gain 30 lbs back. Now I am struggling to get back on keto. I know it is because I look in the mirror and now see a gray haired old looking woman. Your blog hit a home run. I gotta get back on track. Thank you both!
❤️❤️❤️❤️ you’ve got this Shirley!
@@ketotwins I love your channel which I just found. If I could get rid of this devil sweet tooth I would be better. Time to find your videos on sweets! Hugs to you both!
This is the MOST REALISTIC video I've seen in youtube, people normally shows before and after without the flaws and not saying how many times they "failed" before conquiering!!!! THANK YOU, you do motivate us
Thank you! -Em
I considered myself a failure when I fell off keto. Everyone complimented me on my transformation. And when I fell off, I fell hard and gained all the weight back. I felt everything you both expressed. Thanks for being so real about it. I now am encouraged to try it again. Blessings to you!
You can do it!
You got this! Food will not control you!
The same happened to me. I lost 30 lbs and put it all back on. 😢
Exactly why I have started again about 3 weeks ago. I am not giving up! I'm thinking about how far I will be in a year if I just take it one day at a time and KEEP GOING no matter what!! Thanks for this video!! 🙏🏽🙏🏽❤❤
You can do it! Next year will be amazing! -Em
I think you both looked so beautiful on your special days 💗💗
Me too!!! 😍 But I suppose it’s s all relative isn’t it?
This video is why I love Keto Twins and kept watching. You are talking about your experiences, vulnerable, what we can look forward to, Emily is talking slower, (LOL) the music fits perfectly, both of you are talking (not just Emily) and flashback to images. Thank you! My journey is I'm always gaining and losing the same 3-5 lbs and I'm just in the beginning stages...lost 26 lbs. but need to lose another 80 lbs. I know what triggers me (stress) to want comfort but then it puts me out of ketosis. It's not anything major but it doesn't help the weight loss. Cheating once or twice a week is not going to get me where I want to be. Thanks for providing these types of videos.
Beyond aesthetics keto is anti inflammatory. Cancer hates keto. Alzheimer's, anxiety and arthritis and so many other diseases improve with a antiinflammatory diet. I have heart disease. I was on the operating table talking intermittent fasting and keto with the heart surgeon. Sugar, not fat causes heart disease. Good health to you and thanks for the honesty.
I’m crying. I’m crying because I heard you. Yesterday was a very bad day for me, food-wise. I’m kicking myself for having made bad decisions. And today I see this. I needed to see this. The universe knew that I needed to see this. Thank you!! Thank you thank you thank you!!
I was 125 to 136 pounds from the age of 14 to 23. (I'm 67 now.) But back to back babies and a bad marriage sent me into binge eating and years and years of weight gain. I've tried so many diets over the years and I spent all my time starving and counting the minutes until my next meal until I just gave up. But at just over 300 pounds and telling my oldest daughter that I KNEW that I'd never live to the age that my mother did (91) and seeing the sadness in her face made me want to try again. But my 'tomorrow' didn't actually come until my oldest granddaughter got pregnant with my very first great grandchild. I knew that if I didn't do something I would not be able to enjoy my great grandchildren. And even though that pregnancy ended in a miscarriage I finally started on the very first diet that is changing my life!! And believe me when I say that I am lazy and I'm weak, but Keto/Carnivore is so easy that anyone can do it!! I'm down 42 pounds since March 2023. My excitement that it's actually working has kept me motivated. You young ladies sharing everything that I've felt myself over the years made my heart hurt for you! I am so glad that you started your journey at a much younger age than I did and I pray that you girls continue your videos!! I LOVE your content and fun!! I've spent whole evenings just watching your videos, learning and laughing with you!! Just the same as 'age is just a number' so is weight. You were BOTH BEAUTIFUL on your wedding days!!! That's what the world seen!! It was only your own inner critic that saw anything else. Continue to shine ladies!! We're all behind you, pushing you on!!!
Thank you so much for this video. I am on try 700 of some kind of diet and I have been on/off keto for the past two years. I am actually just trying to get through today. I am 73 years old and have never truly conquered this. I am at 269 pounds right now. So this video is very encouraging, even to an old lady like me.
😭😭 This really hit home! 😭 I totally know 💯 what you felt because that was me as well.
I think so many people out there feel the way we did. There is hope! ❤️-em
You are so motivational. I cried like a baby after watching. I have been on keto since Jan 2018. Lost 65 lbs. I felt great at 188 lbs. I gained back 25 lbs through the pandemic. I've been trying so hard and nothing is happening. I'm stuck and have about 60 lbs to go. Thanks for this!!
Take it one day at a time, you’ll be amazed at how fast time goes by! Soon you’ll be back to what you were before 🤗🤗-Em
I want to thank you for this. I have been on ketogenic lifestyle for over two years. I have lost over 158 pounds and I have fell off plenty of times. I know all that you have said. I'm 52 years old and not married. You really helped me today. Please don't never think that you don't help because you do. I just wanted to say a few things. Thank you both.. when you are over weight and a lone it really gets sad. You she others so happy and wish if you were skinny or pretty you could be happy too. So thank you so much for this video.
Thank you so much Michelle for your kind words! 158 lbs lost is an incredible accomplishment! How inspiring! -Em
This really helped me 🥺 I just found your channel and it is the best thing I could have found right now. Thank you both! Thank you for restarting and for sharing it with us ❤️ I’m gonna restart, and I’m gonna do it this time. Thank you!
Hi Anastasia, so glad this video helped you! You can do it!
What an inspiration, you two are! I have been living keto since last November 2023. I love the lifestyle and am having so much fun with it. 6 months later I am free of all diabetes issues and my blood pressure is great. I lost 26 pounds the first two months. I rarely ever step on a scale. I look good and feel good. I plan on living keto forever. I watch your channel faithfully for new ideas and to laugh with you.
I am so proud of both of you. It’s really hard to hang your dirty laundry in public, and then to admit why it got dirty is even harder. U2 are the best and you’re keeping me on my keto lifestyle. It was hard work losing 150 pounds and I do not ever want to be like that again, but I get discouraged and you to always perk me back up.
Blessings
I know the feeling of being so self concious that you can't enjoy those important moments. It's the worst feeling in the world. I have barely any photographs of myself, it's like I was never really here. I'm not doing keto again but I've started a low carb plan and it's not easy and it's probably the 100th time I've tried, but I think this channel may be helpful. The video was very relatable.
Trying on wedding dresses and feeling like a whale made me try keto. I felt terrible all the time and also hated myself. I was ruled by food addiction.i'm so glad I stuck with Keto. I lost over 20 lbs. It isn't as much as I wanted to lose but I feel better. Health has been my goal all along. I've been low carb/keto for 3 years and have maintained my 20 lb weight loss and am not ruled by food. I consider it a success and I don't even miss all of the crappy food I use to eat.
Stick with it! Don't beat yourself up for slip ups. Guilt is not constructive. Just get back on it and make better choices, not perfect choices.
Your honesty really speaks to me. I agree that you were a lovely bride Emily (and you did not have a big tushy!), but your perseverance is STUNNING! Thank you for sharing your stories.
Ladies what an incredible video! Your honesty was very refreshing. I believe even this 72 year old can master weight loss. Thank you for this encouraging video. Bless you both! Beautiful inside and out💐
Thank you so much Chris!! You definitely can master keto as a lifestyle!! -em
Have lost 60 lb on LC/keto and I still need the encouragement of this kind of heartfelt reality check. Bravo to both of you for what you accomplished and for your courage and caring to reach out a hand to those struggling behind you. You have to get over the "this is not fair....people eat xyz carbs all the time....I just want to lose this and be one of them again". You have to get to the place where you realize keto is a forever life style and not a "get out of jail card". Thank heavens one thing keto does eventually do for you is cure true hunger and allow the cravings to finally fade.
I’m on day 7 of my 3rd keto attempt. Family reunion coming up in 6 weeks and I am so ashamed to face my family after having put on so much weight. Yet I was just beginning to doubt whether I could really do this; this video couldn’t have come at a better time. Thank you for sharing so openly the very real pain behind this struggle.
If you stick to it you have a chance to make some real progress in time, and you’ll feel great! Take it one meal at. A time Jennifer! You’ve got this! -Em
You two were always beautiful at any size, never doubt that. At 78yr and my wife at 74yr both are so proud of the way you stuck it out and we watch all your new videos as they are an inspiration to us as we are trying to follow your adventures in the kitchen. Love, love, love you both. B & S🥰💓
Beautiful words and ladies! You are making a difference in the world and the lives of many. Thank you so much. 🤗
I started Keto June 1st, 2020 and stopped Oct 1st, 2020. I had lost 35 pounds. Around Thanksgiving, I had gained 10 pounds and knew I had to start again. I started on Dec 1st and look at the video that you guys put up! I was struggling that first day so I was so glad to see this video! Thanks Ladies!!!
Thank you so much for your comment! 35 pounds is awesome and I’m sure if you start again you’ll be back down by 10 pounds in no time! ❤️❤️-Em
I just recently found your channel and am so glad I did. I was doing so well on Keto - I lost 70 pounds. Then, in August I lost my husband to cancer. I did not give a flying fart in space what I looked like or what I ate. I went right back to my "eat until I feel so full I am sick" way of life. I am now trying to regroup and get back to healthy eating and feeling better physically. I needed to hear what you guys had to say. Thank you so much for your honesty and straightforwardness.
I am so sorry Diane, give yourself some grace during this time and when you are ready make your first meal a keto friendly meal and you will be back on track in no time! ❤️-Em
I have a medical issue that doctors can't figure out. I have always been in great shape, ate fairly well, and even started body building training at one point. But now if I go for a jog, I gain weight. A 2 week stint of jogging 3 to 4 days with my kids to keep them active caused me to gain 20lbs in a month. Not a thing about my diet changed. For 2 years I counted calories and macros, lifted weights, tried various workout programs and would always gain weight with exercise and not lose a single lb with diet. I have been researching keto this whole time, and finally decided to give it a try 3.5 months ago. I've only lost 10lbs and only have 10 to go, but this video was extremely motivating... and no one would consider me obese. It doesn't matter what your journey looks like though... this video was so refreshing.
Thanks! This was a great video! So heartfelt and true! I’ve lost over 70 lbs but have been struggling with the last 30+ pounds and this really helped me to get serious again and do it!
Your honesty is amazing. Your story brings tears to my eyes. Thank you for being so brave.
Thank you for watching ❤️
Love this video. I have lost 40 pounds and was starting to struggle. I know I can’t go back to my old way of eating, but have indulged over the past 2 weeks and put on 10 pounds. This is so helpful to me. Thank you.
These twins are changing lives just being real and finding their own success. I pray blessings over them for learning and teaching self control. ❤
Thank you! ❤️
Thanks for sharing this. It’s been such a task for me to off load the burden of society’s expectations for how women should look. I’ve found that apart from that are my values about how I look. But in the end it has been my health that has pushed the button for me. I guess I just had to get scared to say goodbye to some of my beloved foods. Thankfully keto allows you to say hello to some satisfying alternatives.
Amen! I want this for me and not anyone else. This is mine. Society’s expectations are a turn off for me.
We won trivia last night and they posted a picture of my fiancé and myself on Facebook. We have each lost about 30 lbs. over the past few months. I am within 10 pounds of my goal weight and my fiancé isn't far behind. It is so rewarding to view a photograph of yourself and not cringe. Thank you ladies for all the help you have given us.
20 years?! Wow! You looked absolutely stunning on your wedding day! 🤗👏♥️
I remember so vividly standing at the bottom of the stairs heading out to meet friends and feeling fat/unattractive ( prior to starting keto)…. My husband was at the top of the stairs and he said “ good-bye, have fun and I love you”…..I stood at the bottom of those stairs and looked up at him and said “ how could you possibly love me when I don’t even love myself”?
That was the defining moment in my life because I often thought about hating myself for getting so heavy BUT I had Never said it “ out loud” until then……That was my defining moment!
And that is when I discovered you two ( 👯♀️ Twinzies) and that is what helped change my life! ❤️
Love this guys...Thanks!
Me, I've been pretty depressed but I realized that seeing the scale numbers go down brings me joy...so I stay on keto because it makes me happy when there's not much for me to me that happy about right now.
I think many people feel the way you do right now Lily. Losing weight to regain your health is definitely something to be joyful about! -Em
Thanks. That was a motivation for me. Bless you.
I commend you both on this presentation. I really think it was unique for you to use the milestones in your lives to tell everyone what you were thinking at those moments. Well done!
How kind, thank you so much!! -Emily
Another great video even though this video caused tears after watching "I can't stay on keto for more than a week! Why?!" Thank you for linking it. I am very inspired and will plan and starting working this hard journey and look forward to reaping the benefits. Thank you again ladies.
I think you are beautiful, inside and out-then and now. Your journey inspires us all.

"If you don't start, you will never know if you make it or not" That's it for me. I'm a new subscriber and I hope to find motivation out of your videos. Thank you
Thanks y’all, I needed to hear that. I flip flop so much, I should live at the beach. I’ve come to realize that my struggle is all psychological bc I eat things i know I’m not supposed to then feel guilty but it’s like an addiction to sugar and carbs. 😞
We are carb addicts too! I know that I can’t control myself when I eat them. Sometimes you have to treat food addiction like you would with any other addiction.Some people might be able to eat carbs, but I can’t. I have to make the decision to stay on keto everyday, it gets so much easier as time goes on! -Em
We are addicts aren’t we. I don’t do drugs. I don’t drink, and one of the reasons I don’t is because I know I’m an addict.
Sugar is the worst.
I'm so happy for you ladies I never really had a problem I'm a 110 lbs but wanted to do more keto and I love it its hard tho , I have a husband who is a total carbeater especially on weekends! Hats off to anybody who can stick to it I have a GF who lost 100 lbs and she credits me because I dragged her to the Gym and you can do it It's also healthier to have less weight especially when somebody gets older
So powerful & emotional. At 71 years old I am taking your videos as hope for me. I have another 70 more #’s to lose. Thanks for the inspiration 💕
You can do it Pam! You’ve got this! -Em
Oh my goodness, this had me in tears! I felt this so much as I sat here at another failed meal. I am so glad I found you guys!!
Aww, thank you Cyndi. You can do it, start
again for dinner tonight! -Em ❤️
Wow. thanks for making me CRY!!!!
I've been feeling like crap for weeks, and I think its because I had lost my motivation... I want to get back on track and finding this channel has been such a blessing. thanks for the advice
Thank you so much for this video. I am going to be 60 this year and have been struggling with morbid obesity for almost 40 years. I NEED to lose weight for my health. I WANT to lose weight for my health. I have felt like such a loser and watching this video has helped me realize that I am not alone. Thank you.
You can do it Donna! Just take it one day at a time
I have tears. I needed this video today! I started keto last summer and lost fifty pounds, after being diagnoses with NAFL hyperparathyroidism, and osteopenia. I already had HP, Sjogrens and RA. I have hit a wall for the last three months, no weight loss but no gain either. I want to lose at least twenty more pounds. I know I can do it. I am much, much older then both of you, I only have a few good years left. For them to be good years, I have to be healthier. Overweight, tired and retired are not a good match. I feel more motivated to get back on track now. I thank you both so very much for sharing your experience. hugs
😭😭This was so honest and raw. Thank you so much for sharing your journeys and the struggles that you guys have been through. It puts things into perspective and it’s comforting to hear that I’m not alone in these struggles! You two have really motivated me to change my life💜💜 Thank you 🙏 You guys are amazing.
Aww thank you sarah, we definitely know how it feels to struggle, but it’s worth it! Take it one day at a time and you will find success! -Em
You are such beautiful people! You keep things real and there’s why you can inspire some of us to embark on this healthy eating journey. Thank you! 🌸
Thank you both for this video you young ladies are so beautiful, I’m 74 and have been on Keto for around
2 1/2 months and have only 22 pounds, was 220 when I started my
diet and hoping to get to 125 for my children and grandchildren and just maybe a longer life, thank you both again for the encouragement you give to others. May God continue to bless the both of you and your families.
Oh girl! Keep on keeping on! Great comment💕
Thank you for the encouragement! I was 113 lbs on my wedding day almost 44 years ago. Now I’m twice as big. It’s always been a struggle since I first started dieting. At 63 my goal is to be in good health by age 65. Your channel is very inspiring! Maybe when we celebrate our 45th or 50th wedding anniversary I will be where I dream to be! I think taking it one day at a time is great advice and spot on. My biggest problem with Keto is getting so bored with the food. Your recipes give me hope! Thanks again for the inspiration!! 💗💗
Two years is plenty of time Thea! You’ve got this!! -Em
Awe! Thank you!! I sure hope so!💗 Actually I have 16 months left, lol!
I love how raw you both are. I feel your words because there are many times in the past I have felt this way.
Thank you Casandra! ❤️-Em
Thank you for sharing this and being so authentic. Only half way through the video and crying. This is me! Starting over for the millionth time at 45. I'm praying that having had cancer this year my mindset is where it needs to be to make a permanent change.
Hi guys, this was a really touching video! I can relate, and thank you being so vulnerable in your videos. I fell off of keto for about two weeks leading up to Thanksgiving, it was a choice that I made and I am back on it now.Your video really hit home when you said about how you felt during certain events and I think to myself thin feels a hell of a lot better than eating a non-keto diet. Thank you again!
Thanks so much, Jacqueline! We all fall off but it’s so important to try again , glad you are back on! We feel so much better on keto! -Sarah
I wish I had seen this video 40 yrs ago 😢 You both are so inspirational. So happy for you to have found your way still so young and to have your whole life ahead of you's. I'll keep trying , have lost 20 lbs and first time under 200lbs in 30 yrs. It's good, I don't have much time left but I'll keep trying.😊 Thanks girls you are blessed🥰🥰
Oh Rose, thank you! You still have time left and you are going to make the most of it by taking control of your health! Congrats 20 lbs! You’ve got this! -Em
Rose, I’m right behind you, getting closer to the 200 mark. Can’t wait to get below that first time in ages. So, thanks for leading the way, for this old gal!
God bless you both! I’ve never had a food or weight issue, but have an autoimmune disease. I so appreciate your boldness and honesty!
This came up in my feed again- Feb 2023. I really needed it. I have failed over and over and over. I'm trying to get one day of a fast in and I almost gave up when this popped up. Thank you so much
You’ve got this Katie! Hope you have a great fast!
I just want you lovely ladies to know I watch this video DAILY. Helps motivate me everyday, Thank you for what you do. ☺️🥰
Aww thank you SO much!!! We appreciate your kind words! -Em
I hope I run into you guys downtown someday so I can give you a hug or bouquet of roses (or if that's weird, maybe just a thank you). I was thinking throughout that you're both blessed with so much beauty. I was wiping tears from my eyes. A big thank you for sharing, I don't think you could know how many lives you affect by sharing your hearts like this. I'm new to your channel and keto. THANK YOU Emily and Sarah
What a sweet comment! If you do ever see us make sure to say hello! We’ve only met one person so far that watches our channel and it was so fun :)
That's surprising! Haha I definitely would say hello. I love your channel! I feel like I'd just watch it even if you guys were chatting. But the recipes are so fun and remind me, this is worth the effort and it's fun :)
Ditto found keto 2 years ago..wish I had known 30 years ago 63 now down 108 lbs 50 lbs to go..my fraise to family was head shot only ..with a fake smile..no more..here I am let's GO
It’s 4:21 in the morning on a crisp October morning. Every day, little by little, I’m making my way through your dozens of fantastically inspirational videos. I love them all. Especially this one. ❤
Thank you two.
Thank you for your genuine sharing. This means a great deal to all who are going through the same journey, especially women. I have been on Keto for two months and haven't lost much weight except the water weight at the beginning (and regain a couple pounds these two weeks). I am going on an a-week so trip soon and thought of taking a break from it. After watching your videos, especially this one and the new one on motivation, I decided on staying. You both are true inspirations. All the best :)
I love you two for being so brazenly honest about your weight loss journey. Your honesty is so encouraging. I can’t thank you enough. ❤
You’re vulnerability is so raw and heartbreaking. I feel this way all the time. I’m on track now, but this is a powerful, inspiring video. Just today, right? Thank you, ladies.
Thanks so much Kate! Happy to hear you are on track now! That’s what matters! -Em
It is very hard to open one's heart the way you girls did on this video. The pain was there for everyone to see and everyone of us felt it and acknowledged it as our pain too. I personally will keep this to watch over and over whenever I feel alone in my battle. Love to you both.
Ur stories are so touching. I love how open u two are. U both have done so amazing! I think realizing this is a lifestyle makes a big difference
This video hit my heart & had me crying, because I can so relate. I'm always self conscious, I do the same with pictures, "don't get me at this angle, only get me from here up."
I have hypothyroidism, and while I shouldn't use it as an excuse, it's so hard to lose. I've been on keto on & off too for almost 3 years and the last 4 months is when I got serious and have lost 23 lbs. Still have 40 more to go.
I could write a novel here about my weight issues, but I'll stop here.
Thank you guys so much for telling your story! It helped more than you realize!❤️
I think you are both so beautiful! Thank you for your raw and honest conversation. It motivates me to keep going. I lost my husband seven days ago to cancer and my mom last month. It’s been so terribly difficult but I need to take care of myself. For my kids and grandkids.
😢 I am so sorry to hear that, so sorry for your losses. Please be kind to yourself during this time, Keto will be here once you are ready to try again if you can ❤️-Em
This made me cry.. Ive been off and on Keto so many times, I did great at one point, then something happened in my life, then I failed then beat myself up, and gave up.. ]
This video really encouraged me to start again, and living one day at a time is really the key.. This is a great, encouraging and motivating video - Thank you both for sharing this..
I started in Sept, I was starting to feeling results, my siblings complimented me... then I went to a wedding in Oct beginning and sticked around visiting family, I ended up falling off the wagon.... I came back to my place this Mon and you have just motivated me enough to restart as I am struggling to press reset😢
You can do it! Take it one meal at a time and youll be amazed at how fast time flies! -Em
This made me cry 😭 am 18 year old and around 180Lbs I don’t know how many times I’ve done diets and gave up , but started keto and walking around 2 weeks ago ,not seen any changes but just waiting and still motivated. I’ve struggled with weight loss for such a long time but I hope this time it’ll be a win.
Newer to your channel and binge watching some older videos. This one has me in tears! Very encouraging. Thanks for being real.
Thank you so much Danielle! We appreciate you watching our videos! -Em
Wow! You ladies are special for being so brave, getting in front of everyone and being honest about something so painful. Bravo!
Man, I can't even begin to explain to you ladies how much I needed this video today. Thank you both for sharing your lives with us. I'm so grateful that y'all did not give up. I'm starting keto and couldn't imagine doing it without your channel. You both are truly amazing inspirations.
Thank you so much for your kind words Renee! We are so thankful for your support! -Em
I’ve only just come across your channel and I’m loving it. I’m new to keto after a long time trying to lose weight on a high carb diet. So I’m trying this way of eating. I’m on my second day. Also doing intermittent fasting.
This video is so emotional. I felt teary. Your honesty is so real. Love you both
I’ve done keto and fasting for a long time. Watched a LOT of videos. I just love your channel the most. You are wonderful, beautiful ladies.
Beautiful video and story. I too can see the sadness and defeat in both of your eyes in prior videos compared to now. Its amazing the difference you both have gone through not just physical but mentally. It truly shows. Much Love to you both!
awww you are as always too kind!! -Emily
I'm sobbing from this video! The feeling of important moments being clouded by insecurity. It's heartbreaking and a feeling I know to well
Wow. This was so real!! Emily, I understand how you feel so much. This is most of my life. I am 5’10” and very much obese and this really helped me. Thank you for being so transparent! This helps me understand what I was experiencing and feeling was real and not just me being pessimistic as people always accused me of being. It’s real. But you pushed through! Sharing this gives me hope. Thanks so much.
🤗🤗 thank you so much for your comment! If I we could do it you can too, stick to it and by next year you’ll feel like a different person! -Em
I am crying watching this. I had lost so much weight last year- this year 15-20 pounds. I feel like a cow now all the weight is back- my body is huge. My self esteem is low. All my clothes are ultra tight. Although I have accomplished MAJOR THINGs last few months I am not celebrating this . Thanks for your honest transparency. Really heart felt video
We all go through times where our weight goes up and down, all you can do is try again tomorrow Cherol! Youve got this! -Em
