Whitney Simmons congrats ❤
THANK YOU WHITNEYYYYYY!!! ❤️😭😩 You just made my morning! I'm so grateful! 🙏🏽😇
Whitney Simmons thanks for this ! I had family come in the country this Christmas from my home country of Romania 🇷🇴 and I hadn’t seen them in 16 years so I wanted to spend as much time with them as was given and Yeah I missed workouts I was beating myself up but I also knew that I couldn’t get this time back with them but i could go after they left ❤️❤️
Whitney Simmons Hey Whit. I love your videos. Can you do a video on how to slim down your thighs? I been trying to build my butt but since I'm quad dominate my quads are getting bigger and that's NOT what I want. Thanks girl.
I\'m not sure but ,if anyone else wants to uncover how to get fit fast and easy try Moorack Get Fit Miracle (should be on google have a look ) ? Ive heard some extraordinary things about it and my friend got cool results with it.

THANK U SOOO MUCH
wow! you are very helpful
It’s only a nine minute video lol couldn’t watch the whole thing?
I love you 💕
Yesss!! Was looking for those helpful time stamps, thank you.
And tip number 6 bring Whitney’s workouts with you to the gym cause GIRL it changeddddd my workouts 😍😍
Oh and not like I’ll win I never win anything, but here’s my insta anyways 😭 @valeriepac
YES! I watch one of her workout videos while I'm on warming up/treadmill/bike...etc. Then will use that workout after warming up, sooo gooood!

You do not need motivation to work out and eat healthy. You need discipline and determination. Motivation is a perk.
You most definitely need motivation to start but need discipline and determination to stick with it.
Very very true
exactly
Whats the point if you’re not gonna eat healthy
Discipline and determination are what happens when you DONT have motivation
Yeah on number one. When I lost about 20 pounds awhile ago, I started getting comments that I was too skinny and that I wasn't eating enough and that my friends were worried about me. It's like, I'm just taking care of myself! I feel amazing! I'm not hungry! I'm in shape! Chill!
Also, thank you for this video. It was inspiring for me. I've skipped a couple of days of yoga and you reminded me I needed to keep going! Thanks!
Thought this was gonna be another one of those dumb cliche videos thats like "Oh I thought I had to only eat salad" or "Oh I didn't want to get bulky" but these are actually really solid tips, especially the last. I used to make gym my #1 priority to the point my grades were slipping and my health actually suffered because I was so run down trying to gym 5/6 times and week, meal prep, work, study and everything else. So thankyou for spreading this awareness!!!
Excellent reminders! I hate when people ask me how I get motivated to go to the gym... like for real? I don’t get motivated! I just go because I’m an adult who does things they don’t like because they are good for me. So I think whatever gets you healthier is fine
yes about people supporting you!! I’m naturally slim so people think that because I’m eating clean I’m “starving” myself, when in reality I’m eating more than I ever have before because I’m planning my meals! They also think that I’m just trying to lose weight when working out when I’m actually trying to bulk up. So frustrating sometimes but I try to ignore it 🍑
I know the feeling. I do have a good laugh those cause im a skinny girl lifting weights with all the buff men, makes me giggle.
Same, so relatable 😕
Same! Except I’m not naturally skinny. I used to eat crap and the second I decided to start taking care of myself my friends kept saying that I was starving myself even though I was eating more than I used to. The only difference is I am actually doing it right this time
I thought wow this girl sounds like me but it’s my sister wow
Wearing some cool gym cloth is actually one of the things I use to get motivated 👌🏼😂😂
Mohamad Kleit same!!! A new outfit is 🔥
Yep that's what makes us keep going 😂😂😂
Same lol
New workout clothes keeps me motivated too.
Mohamad Kleit same here
ab number 5 PLEASE LISTEN AND DO THIS. missing one day to let your body heal is so much better than doing that workout and hurting yourself further. i kept going when i knew i shouldnt have and i really hurt my shoulder so much that i couldnt lift my arm and it put me out of the gym for a month
The first tip!!! ❤️ It's so hard living with someone who eats crap. That is the struggle for me! Glad it's not just me! Thanks for the encouragement Whitney!
Also!! Insta- beckyisbell_
Damn I'm 2 years late for the giveaway
I'm three lol
@@livpaulette1730 I’m 4
I . Literally . Love. You. I feel super alone in my lifestyle sometimes but vlogs like yours are PLAYIN IN MY EAR GIRL and gettin me through the week! As someone who can never talk fitness/diet with her friends, your content is super helpful to me so THANKS for doin what ya do.
xx
make a video of your favorite bcaas, protein bars, pre workouts and protein shakes pls!!!!!!!!!!!
Number one is so real. When I first started I was 108 and I was scrawny and once finally started to put on muscle being in middle school I had a girl tell me I shouldn’t shorts because I had to much muscle. But I eventually learned what I wanted and now I wear shorts almost everyday and I am now 115 pounds ❗️
And I’m also now 115
My Grandparents had two opinions of me.
1. “You’re too skinny”
2. “You’re too fat”
God rest their soul. 🥰
When I started my healthy lifestyle two and a half months ago, my husband was so negative and not supportive. It hurt my feelings so bad. Now, I’m 17 lbs lighter and feeling great, and he compliments me every single day. ❤️ He just bought me a food scale and a weight scale today, along with some new shoes 👟. 😘
Am glad he's on board now! Keep at it
I’d love for a part two. Even though I’m a few years into beginning a healthy lifestyle, these tips are a nice refresher! btw, LOVE TULA. I tried them based off your recommendations and I’m so impressed.
This video gives me life 👏🏻
I’ve been working so hard and everyone is just bringing me down. They always say to just quit or that I do too much but you just reminded me that it’s about ME and bettering MYSELF. Got my motivation going again, thanks girl!
Yes part 2 please... ive just started my weight loss journey in november and you've helped so much with your input on what excercises work and tips. I appreciate you ❤
excellent tips. that we all kinda know, but also need reminders! yes to part two
So glad I found your channel, I’ve been binge watching your videos all day from home to work to Home again... new sub 🤗
Yes sugarrrrr, part two PUHLEASE! I needed this video so much, resonated with my soul! Love you & I am so thankful for your inspiration in my life! Thanks Whit 💘
girl you give me so much inspiration and confidence to get back in the gym!! as an ex athlete I'm super hard on myself because of where I know I used to be but you make it so much easier :) I know you probably wont see this but keep up the good work!! you ROCK ok bye
*i recently started my fitness journey and i honestly feel better emotionally and physically*
Tips on healthy eating habits. Ugh i love you Whit you're so cute and fun to watch.
I have loved watching how your platform has grown over time! You’re still as genuine as you were when you didn’t have many followers thank you for that and always encouraging me❤️💜
You are so positive and inspiring and I could cry right now because your stories of your past struggles are so relatable right now. And you pushed through and are THRIVING!!! I gotta hit the gym tomorrow thanks girl
Hey whit there's no need to tell us to like u know we *_like_* ur vids b4 watchin ❤
can you do a video on meal prep ideas? Ive tried to meal prep but dont stick to it.
I feel like you are the only fitness guru that talks about failure allll the time.....and it’s wonderful!!!! I fail at maintaining a healthy lifestyle in some way just about every single day, and it seems like no one else experiences that. But you are not afraid to explain your own failures and temptations and it is honestly really motivating to know that someone so fit experiences the same struggles as I do. Bad habits won’t break overnight, and it is so important to have reasonable expectations for yourself, and I love how you push that.
Iam so happy i found your channel💖 I’ve been trying so hard to get back on track with fitness but its soo hard because i make up excuses that i have school, and work and so on. But you were really helpful girl❤️
Please do some workouts without equipment ❤
Also... PLEASE DO A PART 2!!!
Please make a Part 2!
You're helping me so much! It was really hard and confusing to find a perfect workout channel. You rock girl!
Thanks for this video, I really needed that 💕 I can relate to the things you're talking about so badly, lately I've been so hard on myself but you reminded & motivated me that my fitness journey is a lifestyle and not a diet. Thanks so much for that 🌞 hope you have an amazing christmastime 💖
Your great. Of course a thumbs up for the video. It goes without saying 👍🏽💖
I would really like some more food prep videos....BTW I love your channel
My family is pretty healthy and my mom is always helping me meal prep and cook healthy meals for all of us. I’m so thankful:))
Please do a part 2. Fitness has been a huge part of my life and i fond these tips very helpful. I love hearing anyone give tips/ advice :)
I just subscribed to you and I love you already! I have been looking for motivation to get my first gym membership and get right and I found your channel because of work out gear! Girl I love your personality!
I need a part 2 and a part 3 and a part 4 😂 gimme all the tips you can!!
Part 2! I watch you when I'm working out and your so motivating!
Really want gymshark stuff adding up to my fitness routine lol!! Went through your videos almost every single one of them last night, couldn’t stop! You’re a beautiful sunshine!
I need that Tula skincare kit not even kidding good luck to all
No .org
I seriously just found myself nodding and saying " amen " during this
I LOVE THIS VIDEO. I have been following you for little under 6 months (when I very slowly started my fitness journey). I have been off for a like two months but you make me feel so good and whole to push me to start and feel good again! Thank you for this! I know this is an old vid but still so important! Good luck in Canada this weekend wish I could be there! 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
Omg I’m just starting my fitness journey and all of your tips I have gone through. Thank you girl!! I would definitely want to see part 2
My parents are somewhat supportive. Like there have been incidents where my mom took my salad bag that I bought with my own money and would put avocados and mayo on it, and would fix it for my family. Even though my family isnt a health conscious family and the salad was in the fridge rotting for a week.
She knows that I dont eat avocados and mayo for health reasons.
And when I go to store and buy food for myself they would always say that I'm being selfish even though I'm only helping myself Because I know they aren't a diet family.
.
Part 2 please!!
SO PLEASED WHITMAS IS BACK!!!!!!!!! Finally about to BINGE WATCH YEY Xxxxxxxx LOVE YOU xxxxxxxxx
My new fitspo❤️✨✨✨ thank you for being so real!
When Navy isn't in the background of the video... is just doesn't feel the same!
Rita Carvalho thank you for pointing that out. I was trying to figure out what's different
Re-watching this because I cannot get over the Sourpatch Watermelons quote lolol 100% also me
Please please do a part two! Your videos are my motivation when I struggle to get to the gym 💗
Girl! I love you heaps. You make me excited and motivated to go work out. Love your tips! Definitely want a part 2 tip video.
I used to feel terrible when I missed a workout, then I realised that if by just missing one workout I was feeling bad, then I wasn't having the healthiest relationship with fitness. I learned to let it go and if I miss a workout, then no big deal, my body and health won't be affected :D Yay! I've been wanting to try the Tula range for a while now! My Insta is @vicdimattia :)
Omg, the messing and beating yourself up thing is so hard....I feel like I have destroyed the whole progress or the whole day if I eat a cookie on a perfect day. I am afraid to become a crazy obsessive person with it. :( I love weight lifting too! because f how the skin and muscle tone gets better. By the way, how do you track your progress? measurements? weight or clothing sizes? I have been stuck for a while on the same weight but I can see my self, getting smaller and fitter. thanks! :)
Elena F. Polster I know it’s a little too late to answer this but the best way is to take pictures once a month. Girl this is the real way to see progress. Hope you are still in a fitness journey and this helps you lol
Yes please this video was very helpful and I am going to be looking out for part 2💕💕💕
her channel and videos are such a positive place. i love how i feel when i take in what she says 💙 whitney! love your vids
Hands and nails on point😍😘😍😘😍
She puts an emphasis on huge like Stewie from Family Guy. 🤣 oh my god I love this girl.
OMG Whitneeeeeeey 💜💜💜💜💜 !!!!! I used to hate this kind of video because it's always the same thing.. But GIRL... You're killing it ! 😀👏 Every thing is so true.... A part 2 pleaaase !
I love you so much, you're my inspiration and still remember how much you helped me to go thought my break up a year ago ... 💖 It's always a beautiful day to watch our fav' Whitney video !
thank you so much Whitney,the first point already hit me so damn hard😭😭😭 I really love ur information because it’s actually really useful and helps me a lot
can we talk about how flawless your makeup in this video? 💕
what should i do if i mess up on eating healthy? it's so hard not to beat myself up haha
Hailey Gallinari 80/20 rule!!! Eat clean 80% the time! The other 20% is for treats :)
I want a part two! You're amazing and those tips be FFIIRRREEEE!
If you see this I just want to say thanks! Im at 4.5 years into my fitness journey and lately I've been going to the gym 2-3 times a week whereas years ago I would barely take one day off every 3 weeks. I've been lacking motivation and inspiration with fitness, although I know its something I won't ever give up completely, your videos help get me to the gym.
The support thing is so true lol 😂😂 my friend told me to stop working out so that i wont look like a man.
Yes part 2 pls!😁 Entering for my girl @lynnnicolaas
You're channel is my favorite in the category of fitness, you da best ❤️
I love Tula! And I would love a part two! Giiirl, you get me through cardio!
When you thought you were subscribed this whole time, but it turns out I just religiously check your channel 😭😂
wow I have been SLIPPING!!! I haven't gone to the gym in like 3 weeks and I keep making the excuse of "I'm stressed because of school and work" but I GOTTA GET BACK ON IT ASAP! thank you for the vid, you always come thru
Amanda Nguyen you got this 💪🏼
That's right girl...not everyone will be supportive and happy for you, I know this first hand! If it makes you feel good mentally and physically, that's what it's about! You only have one life to live, do what you love and make every day the best it can be!💪✌
Just found your channel and I’ve been watching your videos ever since. Your tips are so helpful. I️ feel so motivated to get in shape!
Whitney. Why? Where? I’m just confused. Where was Navy on this video. I missed him!!! Also, you are always so honest in every single video. Thanks for bringing your face to my phone everyday for 25 holy moly guacamole days!
@gonzlor if you wanna slide into my dm’s 🙃🙃
Soooo does anyone else notice something is missing?!!!
Like. The only reason why I watch this channel and I’m subscribed is because of baby navy!!! So much love for you two! I follow you on Instagram Facebook Snapchat, I’m I’ve been subscribed already! Would love this to better my skin, I do have all 3-oily, dry, and blemishes on my skin. It is just perfecttttt 😂
Reach me on Instagram at _itzzyy
Hey Whit! I'd love a part two video. I also have another idea for a video: Everything Navy. You are a great puppy mom and I'd like to know more about the life of Navy and how you care for him (his routine, diet, exercise, toys, etc). I'm a puppy mom to two doxies and I'm struggling with cleaning their teeth! Any tips?? @gretchen_lindsey
Please never change ur content..... i dont like how other fitness youtubers vlog. You’re funny and to the point, i love it
Girl thank you, for this.. In so needed to hear this.. I've just begun my fitness journey, one month ago.. :) especially about people supporting you .. But I'm pushing forward.
A pack of sourpatch watermelons?? Lmao I would eat a whole roasted chicken with a side of buffet lol
Definitely a part 2! Those are the tough lessons you learn on a fitness journey, and it's usually the hard way. For me it was figuring out that it's a lot easier to stay motivated when you love your workouts and that's when you see results. That was probably the biggest lesson I learned so far :) My IG is VivienMaron
Yes, part two please! I’m still working on the not being hard on myself part.

Yessss to #3 I used to hate exercising because I thought it was mostly about running until I tried weight lifting and now I feel absolutely happy!!! Love you!!!!
Whitney: “I feel so bad after eating a whole bag of sour patch”.
Me: hold my beer 😂
oh my god, this is so true! I have been working out for 3 years now and have put on quite a bit of muscle, and my parents still keep telling me that I am too "muscular" and "manly" until they see me in cute dress lol! My insta is: jessskitty
I love your fit tips so much!! I think it would be awesome if you did more videos like this
I just started my journey thank you! God i feel so much better knowing you have overcame the same things that run through my head
It threw me off to not see navy laying on your bed behind you haha IG @mandiemaandyy
Definitely a part two. I just got back into working out, I’m trying to lose this baby weight, so this video was needed. Instagram handle is @hope_lesszentoria 😘
SailormoonZ same girl. I used to have abs 😭
yaazzzz part 2! And you look stunning!
Just found your vids and I’m really enjoying them! U are hilarious, I love how you put over your opinions and you are inspiring me to keep going with my fitness 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
Wish money wasn’t a factor for me not getting healthy food and gym membership because of college. Not trying to make an excuse but college is expensive you know? Priorities at a time. Anyone else in the same position?
Emiko Kubose girl I feel you. The college struggle is finding ways to feed yourself with what little money you have .
I would see if your campus has a gym that students can use for free a lot of campuses do.
Emiko Kubose the healthy food is so expensive here and it takes alot of time to make it
Beeen there!! Totally do-able girl you've got this - normally the campus gym fee is included in student fees, I would check on that for sure!!
Girl I feel you. Try to see if your school has a campus gym but also you can do workouts in your dorm. Check out fitness blender TH-cam. They have a TON of free workout videos and all of them can be done at home . Also look up meal prepping for $30 and you’ll find a ton of videos that’ll show you how to eat healthy inexpensively. You can also search eating healthy on a college budget. There is plenty out there to help when you’re in college, I promise ! Couponing will also help ALOT
Ayee it's been exactly a year since this video came out.
Number three is so true! I used to think I had to run or do a whole bunch of leg exercises cause that’s what most girls do, at least in my area. But I found out that I love weightlifting and exercising my arms it makes me feel so strong and accomplished I loveeee it💕
i love you whitney!!! can you please do a more specific video on motivation and how to find it back? :)
girl i needs to know what you eat in a day for more ideas 😩 anywho thank you for this video!! 🖤 @annetteemartinezz
this is so random, but how do u not smack your head on that self when you wake up every morning???
P.S. reach me in IG @marrrybear
tbh i've wondered this too before hahaha
We definitely want a part 2!!😍😍😍
I love all of your videos!! can you do one over protein? the bad, the good, what all it does, as well as what all pre workout, and post workout and what it does for you ??
