    1. Change your diet
    2. Calorie counting
    3. Walking 10,000 steps 6 days a week, rest day 7
    4. Cutting out all drinks except water
    5. Be consistent
    Well done on such a great job! I struggle with the portion control most of all and am really trying to work on that. Hopefully this 2022 I will finally reach my fitness goals!!!

      Only water?? What do you think about diet sugar or 0 calories there’s something in soda 🥤 I think I tried the artificial sugar and all season I felt nothing lost nothing I’d love to lose 40 but I’m 265 so 40 pounds is not going to show much but I will feel it in my clothes for sure

      @@Arizona_lilly That's because those claims are misleading. I tried to do the same thing and didn't lose any weight so I cut out all drinks except water, black coffee and plain tea. If I get bored of water I add a bit lemon or lime to it.

    Walking is the truth! I put my earbuds in and walk 3 miles to a favorite spot and back home 4-5 days a week. A total of 6 miles and 15,500 steps. I always feel like doing more when it’s over because it’s refreshing. I drink just water and drink green smoothies for breakfast and lunch. For dinner I have 2 pieces of tilapia with just salt, pepper, butter, and a squeeze of lemon. I have as many veggies as I want, with the same seasoning. 36 lbs down in 3 weeks.

I was apart of the gym and the whole shebang. But somehow I came across this video and I suddenly feel motivated again. I'm going to try and make a conscious effort to restart my journey!

      Hey, Troiana, try Weight Watchers... I've done it before, about 12 years ago after my son was born, and it got me way past my weight goal. I'm now doing it again, and I don't know why I just didn't go back to WW in the first place. I have tried LOTS of other ones, Paleo, Keto, calorie counting, macros, holy moly.... nothing is like Weight Watchers, and it's so much more healthy with unlimited fruits & veggies. Good luck, Honey!!!

    Drinking water is so key. Sometimes when you feel hungry it's because you're actually dehydrated. Hydrating with water is vital to keep your organs functioning and your skin looking good. I try to eat a lower carb diet because 1 in 3 people in my country will become diabetic and drinking a sufficient amount of water also helps stave off diabetes. I still drink iced tea, but if I sweeten it, I use monk fruit.
    All the best to everyone!

Outdoors in the winter/snow as well. I went from a size 14 to a 7/8. I drank water only. Kept the weight off about 8 years.

    I’m doing the exact same thing right now. So seeing this confirmed I’m doing right❤️however I only started 7 days ago, so I’m currently at 7,000 steps a day to ease into it. I am eating 1400 calories which for somebody 5’3 and my weight looking to lose weight is healthy. However do your research and listen to your body. I used to start too small and now I know my comfortable zone. I also do a 20-40 minute strength workout at home or the gym 4-5 days a week. I’d be happy to update anyone with my progress!
    I’m female, 5’3, 19 years old and I currently weight 166.6lbs 7 days in. I’m not certain of my exact starting weight but I know it was somewhere around 168-170.

    Gained a lot of weight over the past 2years because of stress and a change of routine...I used to play/train for basketball 4/5times a week and because I love it,it didn't feel like exercise. But with covid we weren't allowed to and boy did my body feel it...I am still trying to figure out what types of exercises I like that I can do at home should another lockdown happen so I stay consistent. I find generally my personality gets bored quick so I switch it up almost everyday and that has been working for me. I have a terrible sweet tooth though and need to fix that.

    This popped up on my feed today and it just be fate. I’m using Noom to improve my health and lose weight. You could have stepped out if their program! Everything you said is spot on. I have been active for almost 20 years, running, strength training, running marathons even and yet my weight creeped up. I’m 60 so things change but I finally had an honest talk and knew my diet, what I was eating was the main factor. If I could get up early and run, go to the gym, run with stress fractures, torn hamstrings, dead tired there was absolutely no reason I could not tackle AND change what I consumed. Noom is my road map to a healthier me and as an aside, the pounds will disappear! Thank you for the confirmation young lady and good for you!

    I’m so relieved I found your video! I’m finally doing all the right things after many wrong attempts where I would cut my calories too low or workout too hard and then not be able to keep it up. I’ve only just started my 3rd week and have been the exact same weight since the end of week 1 so feeling super demotivated but after hearing you have had a similar experience at the beginning of your journey has granted me some peace of mind. Hope it will start going down after my cycle (I’m assuming water retention has something to do with it). Doing an average of 6,000 steps a day with 2-3 days aiming for 10,000 and slowly working up and doing low intensity strength training for 2-3 days a week also. I will stay consistent this time. Im around 5’7 and my highest weight was 3yrs ago at 88kg (194lbs). I’m now 72kg (158lbs) and my goal is around 60kg (132lbs) but maybe I’ll be happy somewhere in the middle.

    Leila,
    Thanks for sharing!
    I too found myself with my weight loss journey being a positive out of Covid for me. I tweaked my diet a little. I've always eaten pretty healthy. With all the gyms closed and not being able to run for many many years, I decided to start walking on the new path developed outside of my townhome. It was a 10 mile path and I walked 4 miles, 2 each way and had under a 15 minute mile. The path was beautiful and I enjoyed it every day. I sometimes walks two and three times a day. I was energized after each walk. I lost 30 pounds over five months. I had gotten up to 163 pounds the heaviest I have ever been I am 5 foot three and it made a difference. I then gained it all back by 2022 and I could feel it and I'm back on my journey maybe not to lose 30 pounds but to lose another 15 walking is amazing portion control is the best thing you can do cutting out the junk food for me. The candy and large portions was the best I could do. If you're on it keep at it and if you're thinking about it jump on, the journey can be the best thing you do for yourself!

      -3 different workouts that targets what I want to work on. Stomach, butt, and legs.
      (Chloe Ting and Cindy Flores)
      -I no longer eat past 9:00 p.m. unless I come late from work and I'm starving. If I eat late from work it has to be a snack that I can digest.
      -My sleep schedule is 11:00 or 11:30 p.m. Sometimes I come home from work late so I don't count that on my discipline schedule.

    i’m 5’ 10 and starting at 185. my goal is 160-155. i’ve gotten down to 165 but then at lot had changed in my life and i gained the 20 and i’ve noticed an awful change in my health. this has helped a lot in giving me a bit of motivation! Will hopefully be able to update in 2 months!

      I’m the same height + same goal! I was down to 158 pre-pandemic but I never got back down after gaining weight during lockdown. I recently started back to my healthy eating plan and trying to be more consistent with workouts (I used to be a total gym RAT, and now it’s constantly a struggle to get to the gym). This is motivating me as well!

    The key is losing more calories than your taking in. Just walking consistently helps you burn a lot of calories and if you count your calories you can make sure you’re not eating more than you’re losing.

    This video was so inspirational. It couldn’t have been easy. I am currently on my weight loss journey and I have stayed consistent with working out 4 days a week but I realised I wasn’t losing enough because of my diet didn’t change. I have now changed my diet using my fitness pal and Ramadan will also help with shrinking my stomach. Booking classes at the gym helps to stay consistent and accountable!

    I heard a trainer say this about weighing yourself everyday:
    Let's say your week weigh- in's goes like this:
    Sun: 183.0
    Mon:182.9
    Tues: 182.4
    Wed: 182.0
    Thur: 181.8
    Fri:181.4
    Sat: 181
    But then Sat night you a have heavier carb or sodium laden meal. You weigh yourself on Sunday and you're 184. If you only weighed yourself once a week you think you went from 183 to 184. You then think you messed up or doing something wrong and lose encouragement. But you dont see that you were trending down the whole week. When the 184 is just water retention and possibly the meal still digesting, depending what time you ate the meal. This made sense to me.
    However, I'm a big believer in not weighing yourself at all; i track changes by my overall body's performance and how my clothes fit. But if you must weigh everyday just pls pls pls remember weight fluctuates! just stay consistent as she mentioned!
    Amazing job btw , when i saw you lost 40lbs in 2 months i was worried about your tips bc that's a lot of weight but is how i lost my weight , maybe you just have a faster metabolism lol!

    I would add that, from a psychological and research perspective, a lot of people struggle to maintain new changes because most advice is about taking things away. It’s easier to add to than to take away. With that being said, like a lot of fitness people often suggest, “change your diet first!” For me, I did the exact opposite. I was eating bad but I was walking and I was seeing changes in my body. Naturally I started eating better because you start to get in tune with your body and you notice how much better you feel when you eat better. I can eat lunch without getting tired. But if I eat a donut I notice I get instantly tired. I would also suggest before and after pics during the journey. I weigh as much as I do now as I did in august and my body is visibly different. My glutes have grown and are rounder and my waist is a 34 when it was a 37. The scale is just a part of the story. This is just my two cents. However, I love the video! Very great information.

    I want to say adding green tea in your diet is SOO GREAT OMG! It be boosting my metabolism throughout the day. I recommend drinking it morning and night. But if you want to get rid of the bloating feeling in the morning then take it at night before bed. If you want to boost your digestion then take it in the morning. (I’m not even gonna lie recently I’ve been drinking it with sugar and lemon juice but it still work obviously not as well but it did something. I normally drink it bland tho when It’s night cause I’m lazy lol)

    I reversed all of my progress (funny enough) after the original lockdown; mainly because I started to drink fruitscato…A LOT🤦🏾‍♀️
    These steps really do work! Because it’s how I lost all of my weight originally. I haven’t seen much progress as of late, since I’ve started back up. I even stepped on the scale this morning and wasn’t too happy, but I’m no longer allowing these things to deter me from my growth and progress! I’m getting stronger at the gym again and it’s just time to kick my butt into high gear to get to where I once was and better! It isn’t the year of consistency for me for no reason!

    I don’t think I could live without my Coke Zero, but what I do instead is limit my intake to two glasses a day and then have plenty of water! Makes a difference :)
    I also did an unsustainable diet and am going back to calorie counting after nearly regaining all weight lost and what I also find is that the quality of food matters! 200g of salmon has more calories than a protein bar, but has twice the amount of protein and way less ingredients. Plus you get the omega-3.
    Keep doing what you’re doing!

    To anyone who wants to lose weight as well:
    - Walking regularly helps you burn calories, which is essential for maintaining a healthy weight and improving overall fitness. It can also boost your mood and energy levels, leading to better well being in the long run.
    - Stay hydrated, sometimes feelings of hunger can actually be masked thirst. Aim to drink water consistently throughout the day to stay hydrated and avoid mistaking thirst for hunger.
