HAPPY NEW YEAR!! 🎉🎉 Thank you guys for making 2019 such an amazing and eye opening year, I couldn't have done it without you. Cheers to making 2020 even better. I just wanted to share some things I learned through my weight gain journey that might change your perspective on growing muscle. Love you guys!!!

Your butt looks so much better now. Please never get that bony again. Looks like you were hungry with no curves. You look nice now. If you wanted to loose 15-20lbs..you'd still look good too.
I’m not blind you are blind if she thinks she looked better before she was way too skinny and look like she was in a famine to me it looked terrible and sad. Your the one blind.
That is PARTIALLY true. Sure, if you are only eating and sitting it will most likely go to your stomach. If you STICK to being active DAILY then your body will put fat where it NEEDS it (i.e., where you train most). Also refraining from eating too much JUNK will help with less stubborn fat build up.
I honestly love this her skin has been glowing the moment she went into this “all in” journey before her face look dull (she was still beautiful) but now her face is slightly fuller and her skin color is glowing I love it !! And thank you for being raw with us during your journey ❤️🙏
same. i'm currently struggling with my body imagine and being too self restricting at times with my calorie intake but following her through her journey and accepting her own body makes it somewhat inspiring for me to do the same
Can you explain? Every single time i see her she has 2L of makeup on her face, fake brows, had braces, teeth whitening.. I dont understand how this is anywhere close from being acceptant of who you "really are". I guess this just shows how deep the problem of acceptance is in our society.
That's what I'm saying. She's pretty much the reason that after ten plus years of having and recovering from a severe eating disorder that I love my fucking body. I don't look in mirrors all day to make sure I don't look fat. I can't thank her enough for her honestly in this whole series.
You look healthy and womanly. Soft and fit. This is probably a weird sounding comment. I was struggling to find the right words to express what I was trying to say. You look great!
It’s so refreshing to see someone actually gain weight and do it for health, because gaining weight can be healthy! And you look amazing and inspire me!
Rosemary Knapp yes that’s true, but only the right amount. She clearly doesn’t have a lot of fat or a little, which makes it just perfect for her to look great, and looking great is what keeps a person happy.
Stephanie is the perfect fitness channel for someone like me who is recovering from an eating disorder. I really want to get buff and put on lots of muscle mass but my ED brain hates the idea of needing the proper diet to do that. Most fitness channels regarding weightlifting can be kinda triggering to me (I’m not saying they are bad!! I just avoid them!! I don’t expect people to change the way they talk about fitness I’m just saying it’s hard for me to find fitness instructors or videos that don’t reignite my ED tendencies and habits!!) so its really really refreshing for me to watch Stephanie. I’m making small steps towards getting better, but it’s really helpful to get that health and fitness/weightlifting stuff + self love and “you need food to live”. It’s health without the diet culture influence. Which is exactly what I needed
completely agree, her shift not only was for the better for her, but it also opened up to a whole new audience and (i feel like) a necessary discussion/help. hope you’re successful in your journey :)
Me too so I completely understand. I'm trying to get over anorexia and it's so hard! It's almost like every week I have to start over with my goals/progress. You can do this! We both can! Don't give up. People like us have to support eachother. I won't give up so you can't either. Our brains don't like food but we just have to keep trying.
shorkboy ayyy recovery gang!! Healthwise I wanna gain weight and muscle but my ed hates me so I’m struggling with my fitness goals. I felt like garbage yesterday when I realized that I’d gained weight but coming back to stephs channel makes me feel better
I can’t tell you how nice it is to see a strong woman like you promote healthy weight gain. Like a lot of people out there, I’ve always struggled with the idea of gaining weight due to the fact that fitness culture (especially fitness for women) mainly centres around weight loss and treats body fat like an unsightly burden. I have had the good old skinny muscle butt for too long and now I’m ready to plump it up ❤️❤️
This past year I went from being my skinniest to being my heaviest. I've felt so much shame and lack of self confidence, but watching you from the beginning to now is so helpful you have no idea. It really helps me keep going on my recovery. Lots of love Steph, truly. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for being on this platform and sharing your journey while inspiring others.
Jasmine, you are beautiful through and through baby girl. I loved reading your story and happy you are on a personal journey of self acceptance, self love and self appreciation. All the best in the new year🤗😍😘
Me too. I’ve felt so alone because everyone thinks I’m crazy because I am eating so much. But I went from 105lbs to 143lbs and I’m still hungry but Stephanie has helped me accept myself. Because I thought something was wrong with me. She’s amazing! And I will forever be inspired
i just wanted to say from someone who was a caretaker for their parents, I loved that you wanted to move closer to your mom and have her own room in your house. youre a sweetheart
James O'Connor she is no where near fat, you are delusional 🤦♀️ Most men would say she looks way better now than before. Something is seriously wrong with you lol
@@jessiebop0 Some guys actually don't like curvy women, so it makes sense that these types of guys would call women like Stephanie "fat, overweight and obese." It's definitely a thing. 💁
You've actually helped me overcome more of my eating disordered behavior than any other motivational anything! You're body type is really similar to mine, and I actually see myself as more beautiful, because of the processes I've seen you go through and how I've been able to relate. I hope to incorporate more of your workouts too ♡ thank you for being so real, open, and honest with all of the world. You're wonderful, and I hope this year just helps you (and everyone here) find more happiness and health ♡
This is what my husband has been telling me the whole time. I never listened to him. And now it came from you, I'll definitely have to put more on. Thanks so much for bringing this subject up. You rock, as always! 💪💪💪
@baldy hardnut truth! I once did half and half coarse and fine oatmeal, with almond milk, chocolate protein and just the right amount of cocoa powder. I can't afford almond milk for everyday, though, so I fear I will never recreate it 😭 it was heavenly, though.
@@cheeryblossoms2011 I'm not a fanboy. I literally just clicked on her video for the first time. Just saying, that's why he's giggling. He's pounding that ass.
@@rickstark85 You're being super disrespectful and gross. You wouldn't say that to a woman on the street, would you? Just because you're behind your computer screen doesn't make her any less real than you. . That's the kind of comment that makes women uncomfortable online. We can't be ourselves without people trying to be "funny" and describing how they would f*** us or how someone else would. She's a person too. Watch what you say, that can really mess with someone and is the opposite of a compliment.
Her face looks sm healthier, you really inspire me to fight my eating disorder I freakin love u😩 ur just so amazing and sooo freakin cute Jeff is a very lucky guy
I just want to take sometime to express my sincere feeling and full respect for you and the things you do to your mom. It’s sad how rarely we find people treating their parents with such love. I love your relationship with your mom and I salute you for being who you are. All the Love in the World to you ❤️
Angel Laurence yeah I was struggling with my eating disorder and her videos and daily Instagram posts on her story consistently reassured me and made me feel better about gaining weight.
It's a Bunnay not everyone gains weight evenly. I have an hourglass shape so I gain weight in my legs, butt, arms, and boobs before I gain in my stomach so that’s not always the case.
you have gotten me through some of my worst moments especially when my anorexia was terrible. thank you for bringing positivity and love. we love and support you🥺❤️
I love you for doing this steph. My mother died in 2017 I lost 25kg in the year she died due to how much I couldnt stomach food, I lost my curves and all of the muscle I worked hard to gain before 2017. 2019 was the year I tried to gain my happiness back and I finally gained back 15kg of the weight I lost due to grieving. Your journey of weight gain has made me feel so comfortable with eating until I'm full, Eating for fuel that I need and deserve to grow and basically just validating my bodies need for food and weight too. I love that you have allowed people like me to feel comfortable with their weight gain and realise that it is ok and sometimes it is necessary for our mental and physical health to gain weight to get to our highest point. This year is all about gaining muscle and getting my 130kg squat back, I lost my strength in 2018 after my mums death and last year I gained some of it back. Going all in for my health was the best thing I have done. Thank you so much for sharing your journey ❤
You are my INSPIRATION, Stephanie!! I almost relapsed into my eating disorder awhile ago, and your videos really helped me stay strong. Love you so much! You help more people than you think :)
There is one thing that Stephanie didn't mention here: body fat distribution. Keep this in mind when you consider whether or not you want to use this strategy to maximize muscle growth. Someone like Stephanie, whose genetics seem to give here a predisposition towards distributing body fat in here lower abdominal, glute, and leg areas will benefit more from a caloric surplus and subsequent placement of fat in those areas. For example, if I were to eat at a surplus consistently my body fat isn't going to be distributed to those areas, it will instead be placed more towards my middle and lower abdominal areas for the most part, with a relatively small amount being distributed to my glutes/legs. Obviously it's up to you whether or not this is good or bad, but do keep it in mind when you are making this consideration.
I think the point is she couples the surplus with exercises that targets the muscles she wants to grow. If you don’t exercise and just eat, obviously it won’t go where you want. It’s essentially bulking, which people do to gain muscle all the time.
I have to say that if you consistently train your glutes and your core, you will achieve this. But you have to train for years and gain real muscle on your glutes. I can say it through my experience. I was born with -10 glutes, and now, after years of training, and never being able to cut the carbs 😆😅, my body has a shape. Train hard, eat enough protein, and it will come.... the butt
To put it very simply, you are EXTRAORDINARY! I've been battling an eating disorder for 20+ years now and even though I'm in recovery, I still have momentary panic the minute my clothes don't fit right or the number on my scale goes up. I've been a subscriber for quite a while and have always viewed your extremely lean physique as my "goal" body. However, thanks to you sharing this incredibly personal journey with us, my relationship with food is changing. I feel happier, healthier, and have more energy than I have in years! I guess what I'm trying to say is thank you. Thank you for empowering us to view our bodies as vehicles for life, instead of mere temples to be gazed upon. 💜
Steph i just wanna thank you. Because of you, i decided finally gain weight for my health. I have 98 pounds, underweight, so low body fat percent and problems with my period. I've been struggiling with gain weight fear and ortorexia i think. Now i can admire i was obssesed about beeing so lean, but beeing so lean isn't healthy eather. Of course i had mussle, i can see them on my belly and butt, but as you say mussle+no fat doesnt look good. Mussle+little bit of fat=fire. Now i trying gain weight and Fix my health and mind. Wish you all the best, you and jeff are amazing couple. Wish someday meet a men as great as jeff is for you. More love guys and greetings from Poland 😘
I was 88 pounds, eating so little... and i had really good self confidence. But one day I saw a picture of me with my friend on a club, and I looked sad, scary skinny, so lifeless... im 1,63m, and I was in a dance course, i was modeling, i was in a Miss Contest and i was starting to get problems with my period too. I cried and cried and i ate like a pig. Pizzas, pastas, cakes, allll in... but... i didnt exercise enough, cause my course was over and im a nail tech now, so i work sitting all day. I started not liking my self again... I started exercising now, lifted my bum a little got my belly less... pregnant and im almost 120 pounds, and very happy even tho everyone says im getting thiccc i proudly say thank you, it was hard work. And it is, mentally for sure. But you can do it trust me.
I just want to say that I love you!!! I have been struggling accepting myself with the fat that I have ( I am by no means overweight...anymore) and the saggy skin that I have. Seeing you on your journey, I stopped starving myself, I made my deficit much smaller and not by reducing food but by moving more. I have been trying to lose weight and stay "skinny" and toned for about 5 years now but going on this journey with you-accepting myself, I feel so much more confident. Having more curves, eating well and listening to my body has made me feel amazing (most of the time :D). Thank you!
Exactly. Just look at IG. All those ladies posing with huge butts selling their "miracle workout programme" Does any of them have abs? Nope! Too much belly fat!! I'd rather have a regular butt but no belly fat. PERIOD
Thanks for sharing this video, Steph!! :) I think one of the most underrated factors that hinders "juicy" glutes growth is eating on a deficit and not eating enough for fear that we will no longer look lean (because of all the food we are consuming). I'm so happy you're showing everyone that weight gain is not always a bad thing and something everyone goes through when eating on a surplus to shape the booty!
I have a question about your journey: as you’ve gained weight, have you noticed any changes in your performance at the gym? For example, are you now lifting heavier? Etc.
Also, her new diet, as she said in a video, is helping her energy as she is neither in a calorie deficit or surplus. She's consuming what HER body needs. She's said plenty of times that what she's doing isn't for everyone.
You're the woman I want my 11 year old to watch not some unrealistic goal that will make her unhappy. Thanks for being real and an inspiration to young girls. Keep doing 'you' so my daughter has the courage to do 'her' . Xxx
It's so refreshing to see a fitness gal who sets goals around her strength and gains rather than weight loss. And who is promoting eating behaviors that are actually healthy, sustainable and evidence based. I'm a new MD and I often see things in social media that promote a unhealthy lifestyle (over exercising with ultrarestrictive diets) and that makes me worried about the message it's transmits to the general population who is not as well informed. Thanks for your nuanced and mature attitude. You've got yourself a new subscriber!
Your such a queen and inspiration to everyone I absolutely enjoy ur food and training videos u have taught me that you can enjoy food while working out ❤️ it’s all about the balance
Stephanie, I'm new to you, Simplynailogical led me to you, but you have me in tears. I've put on what I think of as a lot of weight. Im a mom of 3, but the weight gain is recent. My boyfriend loves me and praises me for my physique but it never gets through. Im curvy now and I'm embracing it. You're helping teach me how to self love. Thank you for being open about your journey.
I've only seen the weight gain video, but honestly I relate to her so much. I was always afraid to eat how much i wanted even though I was skinny. I thought I couldn't get stronger if I gained weight, but she showed me that weight gain is healthy in some cases. So thank you!
Growing glutes= Gaining fat. Happens to me as well. When too lean, my glutes look flat af. When on the bulkier side, they look way better but no abs tho.
I'm smiling as I'm watching this because "I've" never had a curvy butt when I was at my smallest size 4, but when I gained weight and became very curvy. Let me tell you that's one of the reasons why "I" will never go back to a single digit size because I truly love my healthy curves... You keep up the great work it's all about being healthy, real and most of all truly loving yourself 💜💪🏽💜
Belk should hurry up and get some plus size bathing suits in right now they only have up to xl that’s annoying because I can’t fit in any of them. Some people nneed a 20 in bathing suits so hurry it up.
I’m so proud of you! I want to have the same positivity that you have towards food and how your body looks in the mirror.Still having trouble with seeing all the numbers go up on the scale 🙃
Wow I don’t know why but having you say it all live vs. voice over really makes a huge difference. Everything makes so much more sense. I really don’t know why! But I love it!
Hey steph would you upload a video showing the changes in all your body measurements? It’s likely not only your glutes have grown so it’d be way more honest to show what’s changed in your overall physique including waist, extremities, etc.
Yes Steph get a dexa scan too! Stand straight on in your underwear without wearing a waist trainer or baggy shirt and have Jeff measure you again, might as well get a new hormone profile too!! Where’s that info?!
It seems that this she is encouraging women to be healthy and more accepting of our bodies. Your statement seems to imply she is being somewhat dishonest by not discussing her waist and other measurements.
I’m struggling with weight gain but your journey has helped me out so so much! I’ve been able to see the real picture of how I want my life to be, not food focused and just more free.
You know what I noticed? Beside that I love all your videos , that the perfect weight is the weight that you feel the most comfortable in. You look amazing and are shining☀️. Doing things that makes you happy is the perfect workout for you!! (Sorry for my English btw I’m from Europe) ❤️
I wish I’m not living in Asia now for this 😭 Literally everyone in Asia hates having thick thighs. They hate it so much that girls start drinking water for 7 days straight in order to lose weight. I meant it’s crazy. People are obsessed being skinny here that sometimes stresses me out so much 😭
Jay Leecha it’s so hard really. Likes just recently one of my friends told me that she was soooo fat, then showed me the picture of her weighing herself at 49.8kg 🙃 she then added that her waist was almost as big as mine lmao 🙃🙃🙃 and then saying how pretty and angelic her friend is at 38kg 🙃🙃🙃 I just can’t live in this society anymore. I feel like I’m having an eating disorder. I binged eat then gained weight then diet and it’s getting into a circle 🙃🙃🙃 😭😭🐜
Wow I don’t usually comment but this makes me feel so much more confident about my body and less guilty about eating carbs and fats. Your videos are helping me realize that I am doing everything right to stay happy and healthy. Thank you.
I really admire the fact that you have such a huge part in taking care of your mom for you its probably the obvious thing to do but that wouldn't be the case for everyone. its really amazing you are such an incredible human thanks for sharing so many parts of your life with us.
I’m so proud of you. I love seeing you grow as a person and influencer. This journey has been just amazing to follow. Congrats on everything. All my love and support goes out to you! Thank you for inspiring many of us ♥️♥️♥️
You’re such an inspiration to me! After going through a weight loss journey myself I often found myself freaking out if I gained any weight and then to watch you do your own transformation has changed my perspective and helped me in so many ways! Your amazing and I love your channel gal!!! Xxxx
Stephanie you honestly look incredible, but it's even better to hear that you're FEELING better and that your food preoccupations have decreased! I remember literally thinking about and obsessing over food 24/7 - it's exhausting! There's a thumbnail with 2 pictures of you - one at your leanest and one taken more recently - and all I can say is you're looking healthy and beautiful! Lots of love x
I truly respect you on your journey. 🤍 I myself am on a similar journey, I appreciate how you are so open & honest about the changes to your body. I also have been going through the process of change to my body ( I recently gained a little weight & it is different compared to my tiny lean physic I use to maintain.) but I truly believe that this is part of being a woman. you go though these changes, but you do not allow it to define you; rather you conquer these changes, and love yourself beyond what you’re use to.✨💪🏻 being a woman consists on being a fighter/ warrior; our strength is symbolically like Wonder Woman.👩🏻 🏹 defy the odds and be you no matter what. You are more than your beauty. 🤍💓🤍💓💁🏻♀️
Can I make a request for a full body work out routine for people who can’t afford gym memberships? Your favorite tips and tricks to eat and workout on a budget
Loved having you talk through the workout and give your tips and trips before and while you did the workout. Thank you! You are stunning and seem like such a sweet person❤️❤️❤️
O. MY. GOD. In my recovery, I've learned that it's not about how you look at all--body neutrality after positivity--BUT STEPHHH. YOUR FACE IS SO FULL AND FULL AND DOE_LIKE. THANK YOU SOOO MUCH for slowly bringing that roundness (very common to Asians) to accepted beauty. You're truly doing the good work as an influencer with making the world a safe place for everyone to see beauty in themselves
You are a breath of fresh air steph!! There is so much drama on TH-cam recently and you are so open and calm etc. Please never change xx btw you look amazing!! Get it guuuurl xxx
I have had struggles with gaining weight and this video.Including your last one has given me back so much positivity.I feel so much better about my body and don’t feel so sick all the time.Thank you! 🖤💜❤️
Can I just say that I just watched your video about eating more and I absolutely applaud you. Seeing a fitness influencer talk about being healthy and not worrying about the aesthetics of having a six pack has made me so much more motivated to work towards strength and fitness goals instead of what I should look like. Thank you so much for being so open about your journey. 🙌
I love the slime thick look. That's what I'm going for. Snatched waist and with nice thick hips, buns, and thighs. I love you better thicker. You look so much healthier. Great job!
It’s weird and scary how TH-cam suggested this video. I’m a guy and I play rugby. So the video had nothing to do with me. Or so I thought. However, after watching your other videos I then became I scared (or worried) at TH-cam “listening” to my conversations. I hurt my knee a few years back and started to put on a lot of unhealthy weight. I used IF to regulate my weight but ended losing 47 pounds over 6 months. Oh well. Being lighter won’t hurt much right? My knee is now healed up and I’m back on the field. After a full year of training (sprints, plyometrics, squats, etc) I still don’t feel as explosive or as strong as I was when I was 230 pounds especially during games. I mentioned this to a teammate a few weeks back. We came to the conclusion that I needed to go back to eating regularly. Low glucose? I’m guessing I won’t be as ripped any more but at least I’ll have energy and power again. Just like what you concluded from your All In project right?
Why are you just so extremely beautiful and full of positivity? ☺️ I truly think spending my time on your channel is time well spent ☝🏻 the impact you’ve had on me to learn to love myself and to learn that it’s not all about body image, girl if you only knew 😄 nothing but good vibes for you 💕
Seeing those clips side by side was really eye opening to just how lean you used to be. I love how healthy and happy you are now and that you’re embracing your curves on this journey. My goals are to recomp and gain more muscle/shape but not necessarily get super lean and shredded and I love all your content. We support you and I’m looking forward to your insight into shaping a strong, curvier body going forward.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!! 🎉🎉 Thank you guys for making 2019 such an amazing and eye opening year, I couldn't have done it without you. Cheers to making 2020 even better. I just wanted to share some things I learned through my weight gain journey that might change your perspective on growing muscle. Love you guys!!! Link to my programs and time stamps are below!

he enjoyed it
I love this, finally someone is talking about weight GAIN in january instead of dieting
King Kardashian wtf
... agreed
Agreed
@King Kardashian Don't counter hate with hate
I’m not blind you are blind if she thinks she looked better before she was way too skinny and look like she was in a famine to me it looked terrible and sad. Your the one blind.
disclaimer:
you cannot decide where the fat will build up.
you may also grow your stomach or your arms. it depends on your genes.
bang turden Absolutely correct. Funny that she failed to mention that. 🙃
well that mostly depends on hormones but i agree. she has more estorgen so instead of fat going in stomach as much it goes to ass
That's my issue. Even when I was in caloric deficit I couldn't lose my stomach fat.
That is PARTIALLY true. Sure, if you are only eating and sitting it will most likely go to your stomach. If you STICK to being active DAILY then your body will put fat where it NEEDS it (i.e., where you train most).

@@justanother7663 that makes absolutely no sense. why would your body build up fat in the areas where you build muscle? why is it "needed" there?
Hi Stephanie, I just went “all in” after having an eating disorder and losing my period for two years. Thank you for inspiring me! ❤️
Good luck!!
period for two years i have been losing it for 8 months im scared
how has it been going?
I honestly love this her skin has been glowing the moment she went into this “all in” journey before her face look dull (she was still beautiful) but now her face is slightly fuller and her skin color is glowing I love it !! And thank you for being raw with us during your journey ❤️🙏
Jannel that extra fat and collagen in the skin, she looks younger and more radiant for sure
Pretty sure that's mak up!
Jannel totally agree! Skin and face is glowing
Her skin color isn’t goowing, she’s wearing makeup
The Fantorangster she was wearing makeup before too. She looks different. Even without makeup her skin and face look much healthier
stephanie has inspired me to be more accepting of myself in 2019. she deserves this platform so much ❤️
Sabrina Shukalek you might also like youtuber mamaswole! She has great vids on self love. She's funny too💗
by the way, I do not too you have got this but I have got judged for my weight.
same. i'm currently struggling with my body imagine and being too self restricting at times with my calorie intake but following her through her journey and accepting her own body makes it somewhat inspiring for me to do the same

That's what I'm saying. She's pretty much the reason that after ten plus years of having and recovering from a severe eating disorder that I love my fucking body. I don't look in mirrors all day to make sure I don't look fat. I can't thank her enough for her honestly in this whole series.
You look healthy and womanly. Soft and fit. This is probably a weird sounding comment. I was struggling to find the right words to express what I was trying to say. You look great!
Tyari curvaceous!
Yesenia Robles that too! 😘
Yes
King Chicken precisely! 😉👍🏾
Tyari Womanly? So people don’t look womanly when they’re slim (not saying she is overweight)?
It’s so refreshing to see someone actually gain weight and do it for health, because gaining weight can be healthy! And you look amazing and inspire me!
Rosemary Knapp I couldn’t agree with you more 😊
She gained muscle, not fat, that’s why is it healthy.
BUTTERNUT KIKI actually gaining fat can be healthy, women NEED fat, and having fat isn’t bad
BUTTERNUT KIKI did you actually watch the video? She has gained some fat and that’s okay! We need some fat
Rosemary Knapp yes that’s true, but only the right amount. She clearly doesn’t have a lot of fat or a little, which makes it just perfect for her to look great, and looking great is what keeps a person happy.
Stephanie is the perfect fitness channel for someone like me who is recovering from an eating disorder.

Dude same, everything you just said
Me too so I completely understand. I'm trying to get over anorexia and it's so hard! It's almost like every week I have to start over with my goals/progress. You can do this! We both can! Don't give up. People like us have to support eachother. I won't give up so you can't either. Our brains don't like food but we just have to keep trying.
shorkboy ayyy recovery gang!! Healthwise I wanna gain weight and muscle but my ed hates me so I’m struggling with my fitness goals. I felt like garbage yesterday when I realized that I’d gained weight but coming back to stephs channel makes me feel better
I can relate so much!
I can’t tell you how nice it is to see a strong woman like you promote healthy weight gain. Like a lot of people out there, I’ve always struggled with the idea of gaining weight due to the fact that fitness culture (especially fitness for women) mainly centres around weight loss and treats body fat like an unsightly burden.
I have had the good old skinny muscle butt for too long and now I’m ready to plump it up ❤️❤️
This past year I went from being my skinniest to being my heaviest. I've felt so much shame and lack of self confidence, but watching you from the beginning to now is so helpful you have no idea. It really helps me keep going on my recovery. Lots of love Steph, truly.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for being on this platform and sharing your journey while inspiring others.
Jasmine, you are beautiful through and through baby girl. I loved reading your story and happy you are on a personal journey of self acceptance, self love and self appreciation. All the best in the new year🤗😍😘

You go Jasmine, we’re in this together ☺️ We’ll get through this!
Me too. I’ve felt so alone because everyone thinks I’m crazy because I am eating so much. But I went from 105lbs to 143lbs and I’m still hungry but Stephanie has helped me accept myself. Because I thought something was wrong with me. She’s amazing! And I will forever be inspired
Your glutes are almost as big as Jeff's arms and his arms are huge
Do you have 2 accounts?

i just wanted to say from someone who was a caretaker for their parents, I loved that you wanted to move closer to your mom and have her own room in your house. youre a sweetheart
I honestly love steph, she’s so calming and easy to listen to and follow, I’m genuinely so happy for her, she looks stunning.
It is so refreshing to see someone talking about weight gain in a positive light!
Yes it’s easier to hear that being fat is good than to actually look after yourself
James O'Connor she is no where near fat, you are delusional 🤦♀️ Most men would say she looks way better now than before. Something is seriously wrong with you lol
@@jessiebop0 Some guys actually don't like curvy women, so it makes sense that these types of guys would call women like Stephanie "fat, overweight and obese." It's definitely a thing. 💁
@James O'Connor she is not obese, that's so stupid to say, she literally went from slightly underweight to a normal weight, you are delusional
@@Theshowoffcollector she's a normal weight, sorry to say, you are delusional
Stephanie, 2019 was a year of transformation for you, not only physically, but as a person. Your followers not only love you, but truly admire you.
You've actually helped me overcome more of my eating disordered behavior than any other motivational anything! You're body type is really similar to mine, and I actually see myself as more beautiful, because of the processes I've seen you go through and how I've been able to relate. I hope to incorporate more of your workouts too ♡ thank you for being so real, open, and honest with all of the world. You're wonderful, and I hope this year just helps you (and everyone here) find more happiness and health ♡
i’m so used to how she looks now and it’s really weird to see old videos of her
This is what my husband has been telling me the whole time. I never listened to him. And now it came from you, I'll definitely have to put more on. Thanks so much for bringing this subject up. You rock, as always! 💪💪💪
Men like curves, no bones...
Stephanie getting hyped about oatmeal is the most relatable thing i've seen on youtube
İdil Kına agreeeed
@baldy hardnut truth! I once did half and half coarse and fine oatmeal, with almond milk, chocolate protein and just the right amount of cocoa powder. I can't afford almond milk for everyday, though, so I fear I will never recreate it 😭 it was heavenly, though.
İdil Kına LOL
I eat oatmeal anytime of the day, even dinner
Amen to that...Protein PB oats is LIFE!! 🤤😍
The way Jeff giggles at her from behind the camera is so heartwarming!!!
@@rickstark85 I- 😂😭
Gross. Keep your nasty fanboy fantasies to yourself.
@@cheeryblossoms2011 I'm not a fanboy. I literally just clicked on her video for the first time. Just saying, that's why he's giggling. He's pounding that ass.
@@rickstark85 You're being super disrespectful and gross. You wouldn't say that to a woman on the street, would you? Just because you're behind your computer screen doesn't make her any less real than you. . That's the kind of comment that makes women uncomfortable online. We can't be ourselves without people trying to be "funny" and describing how they would f*** us or how someone else would. She's a person too. Watch what you say, that can really mess with someone and is the opposite of a compliment.
@@cheeryblossoms2011 k, I'm sorry my comment has cut you so deeply. It's not that serious.
Anyways, so...whatchu wearing?
I’m soo happy you went all in! 2019 was a hell of ride, can’t wait to follow your journey in 2020!! Hope you had a great holiday season!!
Thank you so much!! It's been a crazy journey and I've learned a lot but I think I still have a lot to learn. Cheers to 2020!!
Ryan Craig you should go all in too, you look hella skinny boy! 🙀🙀🙀
BROTHER TN He looks great lol
BROTHER TN what are you on about he’s in good shape.
Her face looks sm healthier, you really inspire me to fight my eating disorder I freakin love u😩 ur just so amazing and sooo freakin cute Jeff is a very lucky guy
I just want to take sometime to express my sincere feeling and full respect for you and the things you do to your mom. It’s sad how rarely we find people treating their parents with such love. I love your relationship with your mom and I salute you for being who you are. All the Love in the World to you ❤️
It's true, dieting makes glutes less prominent. She's helped so many ppl with eating disorders. Stephanie channel going strong! (Deserved)
Angel Laurence yeah I was struggling with my eating disorder and her videos and daily Instagram posts on her story consistently reassured me and made me feel better about gaining weight.
It's a Bunnay not everyone gains weight evenly. I have an hourglass shape so I gain weight in my legs, butt, arms, and boobs before I gain in my stomach so that’s not always the case.
@@purpleesc That's so great to hear! Would be nice if there were more positive influencers. Hope you came out stronger ✌️🌟✨
@@purpleesc Fair point, surely glute exercises will help with this though.
you have gotten me through some of my worst moments especially when my anorexia was terrible. thank you for bringing positivity and love. we love and support you🥺❤️
I love you for doing this steph. My mother died in 2017 I lost 25kg in the year she died due to how much I couldnt stomach food, I lost my curves and all of the muscle I worked hard to gain before 2017. 2019 was the year I tried to gain my happiness back and I finally gained back 15kg of the weight I lost due to grieving. Your journey of weight gain has made me feel so comfortable with eating until I'm full, Eating for fuel that I need and deserve to grow and basically just validating my bodies need for food and weight too. I love that you have allowed people like me to feel comfortable with their weight gain and realise that it is ok and sometimes it is necessary for our mental and physical health to gain weight to get to our highest point. This year is all about gaining muscle and getting my 130kg squat back, I lost my strength in 2018 after my mums death and last year I gained some of it back. Going all in for my health was the best thing I have done. Thank you so much for sharing your journey ❤
You are my INSPIRATION, Stephanie!! I almost relapsed into my eating disorder awhile ago, and your videos really helped me stay strong. Love you so much! You help more people than you think :)
I love you so much!
I am so glad you listened to your body and not toxic people! You inspire many each day :)
I love you too!!! Just over here doing me, can't let other people decide how I'm going to live my life 🙏
Since going all in you’ve become my absolute favorite fitness influencer🙌🏻 so smart, so wholesome, so realistic, and a body fat % I can relate to
There is one thing that Stephanie didn't mention here: body fat distribution. Keep this in mind when you consider whether or not you want to use this strategy to maximize muscle growth. Someone like Stephanie, whose genetics seem to give here a predisposition towards distributing body fat in here lower abdominal, glute, and leg areas will benefit more from a caloric surplus and subsequent placement of fat in those areas. For example, if I were to eat at a surplus consistently my body fat isn't going to be distributed to those areas, it will instead be placed more towards my middle and lower abdominal areas for the most part, with a relatively small amount being distributed to my glutes/legs. Obviously it's up to you whether or not this is good or bad, but do keep it in mind when you are making this consideration.
Thankss
Finally, someone sober points this out .
I think the point is she couples the surplus with exercises that targets the muscles she wants to grow. If you don’t exercise and just eat, obviously it won’t go where you want. It’s essentially bulking, which people do to gain muscle all the time.
Thank u so much for saying this
I have to say that if you consistently train your glutes and your core, you will achieve this. But you have to train for years and gain real muscle on your glutes. I can say it through my experience. I was born with -10 glutes, and now, after years of training, and never being able to cut the carbs 😆😅, my body has a shape. Train hard, eat enough protein, and it will come.... the butt
To put it very simply, you are EXTRAORDINARY! I've been battling an eating disorder for 20+ years now and even though I'm in recovery, I still have momentary panic the minute my clothes don't fit right or the number on my scale goes up. I've been a subscriber for quite a while and have always viewed your extremely lean physique as my "goal" body. However, thanks to you sharing this incredibly personal journey with us, my relationship with food is changing. I feel happier, healthier, and have more energy than I have in years! I guess what I'm trying to say is thank you. Thank you for empowering us to view our bodies as vehicles for life, instead of mere temples to be gazed upon. 💜
omg I just noticed girl is rocking a short sleeve proud of you
what is the significance of the short sleeve?
Omar R she said she had big arms so she didn’t like to wear short sleeves
You’ve made me not afraid to eat. Calorie consumption no longer fills my day! Thank you Stephanie 🥰
2020 is the year of self love🙌🏼🙌🏼I’m so happy for you☺️☺️love you steph❤️✨
Claudia Kutsev, I agree! Check out the self love vid by mamaswole❤
Steph i just wanna thank you. Because of you, i decided finally gain weight for my health. I have 98 pounds, underweight, so low body fat percent and problems with my period. I've been struggiling with gain weight fear and ortorexia i think. Now i can admire i was obssesed about beeing so lean, but beeing so lean isn't healthy eather. Of course i had mussle, i can see them on my belly and butt, but as you say mussle+no fat doesnt look good. Mussle+little bit of fat=fire. Now i trying gain weight and Fix my health and mind. Wish you all the best, you and jeff are amazing couple. Wish someday meet a men as great as jeff is for you. More love guys and greetings from Poland 😘
I was 88 pounds, eating so little... and i had really good self confidence. But one day I saw a picture of me with my friend on a club, and I looked sad, scary skinny, so lifeless... im 1,63m, and I was in a dance course, i was modeling, i was in a Miss Contest and i was starting to get problems with my period too. I cried and cried and i ate like a pig. Pizzas, pastas, cakes, allll in... but... i didnt exercise enough, cause my course was over and im a nail tech now, so i work sitting all day. I started not liking my self again... I started exercising now, lifted my bum a little got my belly less... pregnant and im almost 120 pounds, and very happy even tho everyone says im getting thiccc i proudly say thank you, it was hard work. And it is, mentally for sure. But you can do it trust me.
Lady!!!! Your body is #goals!!!! You look happier! Your body is realistic and relatable!
I just want to say that I love you!!! I have been struggling accepting myself with the fat that I have ( I am by no means overweight...anymore) and the saggy skin that I have. Seeing you on your journey, I stopped starving myself, I made my deficit much smaller and not by reducing food but by moving more. I have been trying to lose weight and stay "skinny" and toned for about 5 years now but going on this journey with you-accepting myself, I feel so much more confident. Having more curves, eating well and listening to my body has made me feel amazing (most of the time :D). Thank you!
I won’t say too much but yeah, going all in has made you a goddess lol.
Ryuk Lannister FAXXXXXX
🙄
You look so much happier and just so much nicer!!
Just saying, not everyone has that fat distribution. Don't gain weight for your but because you might just end up with a pot belly
I came here to say this. This is an important thing to say.
Even her she has some belly fat it's obvious
Exactly. I really struggle gaining any fat on my lower half.
Exactly. Just look at IG. All those ladies posing with huge butts selling their "miracle workout programme" Does any of them have abs? Nope! Too much belly fat!! I'd rather have a regular butt but no belly fat. PERIOD
True
Thanks for sharing this video, Steph!! :) I think one of the most underrated factors that hinders "juicy" glutes growth is eating on a deficit and not eating enough for fear that we will no longer look lean (because of all the food we are consuming). I'm so happy you're showing everyone that weight gain is not always a bad thing and something everyone goes through when eating on a surplus to shape the booty!
This All-in year has shown to be such a beautiful transformation for you. You're absolutely gorgeous and look happier and healthier, and NOT HUNGRY!
Your all in videos helped me when I had to regain weight after an eating disorder ❤️ thank you
me too!
2020 is the year of self love ❤️ I’m so proud of you
I have a question about your journey: as you’ve gained weight, have you noticed any changes in your performance at the gym? For example, are you now lifting heavier? Etc.
Professor Bagel thank you!
@@pwbrowniv her new all in approach to eating was never meant to be used as a guide for optimal muscle gain and fitness i thought
@@honeyykyla it's not, it's to fix her ravenous hunger and other issues she was having
@@videoguy640 okay I was right lol I thought for a second I was missing something
Also, her new diet, as she said in a video, is helping her energy as she is neither in a calorie deficit or surplus. She's consuming what HER body needs. She's said plenty of times that what she's doing isn't for everyone.
You're the woman I want my 11 year old to watch not some unrealistic goal that will make her unhappy. Thanks for being real and an inspiration to young girls. Keep doing 'you' so my daughter has the courage to do 'her' . Xxx
It's so refreshing to see a fitness gal who sets goals around her strength and gains rather than weight loss. And who is promoting eating behaviors that are actually healthy, sustainable and evidence based.
I'm a new MD and I often see things in social media that promote a unhealthy lifestyle (over exercising with ultrarestrictive diets) and that makes me worried about the message it's transmits to the general population who is not as well informed.
Thanks for your nuanced and mature attitude.
You've got yourself a new subscriber!
Your such a queen and inspiration to everyone I absolutely enjoy ur food and training videos u have taught me that you can enjoy food while working out ❤️ it’s all about the balance
Exactly, love you!!
Always here to support 💗
Thank you so much!!!
I’m soooo proud of Stephanie she still looks amazing and she’s sooo confident ❤️❤️❤️
Stephanie, I'm new to you, Simplynailogical led me to you, but you have me in tears. I've put on what I think of as a lot of weight. Im a mom of 3, but the weight gain is recent. My boyfriend loves me and praises me for my physique but it never gets through. Im curvy now and I'm embracing it. You're helping teach me how to self love. Thank you for being open about your journey.
I've only seen the weight gain video, but honestly I relate to her so much. I was always afraid to eat how much i wanted even though I was skinny. I thought I couldn't get stronger if I gained weight, but she showed me that weight gain is healthy in some cases. So thank you!
Growing glutes= Gaining fat.
Happens to me as well.
When too lean, my glutes look flat af.
When on the bulkier side, they look way better but no abs tho.
TheVeganPill because glutes get more fat compared to other part of the body so it looks more full but It’s only fat
To me shape matters more than volume. If the butt has a good round shape, then I'm happy!
You don't have to work your glutes, you can do just thighs/calves/abs and ignore your butt, that's what I do.
Awww :( I wanted some abs
TheVeganPill how can you grow glutes the quickesttt??
I'm smiling as I'm watching this because "I've" never had a curvy butt when I was at my smallest size 4, but when I gained weight and became very curvy. Let me tell you that's one of the reasons why "I" will never go back to a single digit size because I truly love my healthy curves... You keep up the great work it's all about being healthy, real and most of all truly loving yourself 💜💪🏽💜
I never been single digit size
Belk should hurry up and get some plus size bathing suits in right now they only have up to xl that’s annoying because I can’t fit in any of them. Some people nneed a 20 in bathing suits so hurry it up.
I’m so proud of you! I want to have the same positivity that you have towards food and how your body looks in the mirror.Still having trouble with seeing all the numbers go up on the scale 🙃
You’re simply glowing now since you’ve gone ALL IN! Beautiful inside and out. Proud of you ♥️
Wow I don’t know why but having you say it all live vs. voice over really makes a huge difference. Everything makes so much more sense.
I really don’t know why! But I love it!
Hey steph would you upload a video showing the changes in all your body measurements? It’s likely not only your glutes have grown so it’d be way more honest to show what’s changed in your overall physique including waist, extremities, etc.
yea, we want a full count of all those chins
sarah rho this exactly!!!!
Yes Steph get a dexa scan too! Stand straight on in your underwear without wearing a waist trainer or baggy shirt and have Jeff measure you again, might as well get a new hormone profile too!! Where’s that info?!
It seems that this she is encouraging women to be healthy and more accepting of our bodies. Your statement seems to imply she is being somewhat dishonest by not discussing her waist and other measurements.
She looks so much better after going all in. Good for her!!
We have similar body types. All the people complementing her body make me feel super cute. I always felt too fat
I’m struggling with weight gain but your journey has helped me out so so much! I’ve been able to see the real picture of how I want my life to be, not food focused and just more free.
You know what I noticed? Beside that I love all your videos , that the perfect weight is the weight that you feel the most comfortable in. You look amazing and are shining☀️. Doing things that makes you happy is the perfect workout for you!! (Sorry for my English btw I’m from Europe) ❤️
I wish I’m not living in Asia now for this 😭 Literally everyone in Asia hates having thick thighs. They hate it so much that girls start drinking water for 7 days straight in order to lose weight. I meant it’s crazy. People are obsessed being skinny here that sometimes stresses me out so much 😭
I def know what you mean but if you love and are proud of your thick lovely body who cares others' opinions? Dont be ashamed :)
Jay Leecha it’s so hard really. Likes just recently one of my friends told me that she was soooo fat, then showed me the picture of her weighing herself at 49.8kg 🙃 she then added that her waist was almost as big as mine lmao 🙃🙃🙃 and then saying how pretty and angelic her friend is at 38kg 🙃🙃🙃 I just can’t live in this society anymore. I feel like I’m having an eating disorder. I binged eat then gained weight then diet and it’s getting into a circle 🙃🙃🙃 😭😭🐜
people don’t appreciate thick in asia 😌 i hate it here 😌✋🏻
Which part of asia?
Dont say asia.i m from india ...asia ...n here theres nothing like that going on
so happy you're healthy baby :O
😭😭Thanks boo boo!
I love how you're taking care of your mom ❤❤❤
Kristi Time Vlogs she’s amazing!
Wow I don’t usually comment but this makes me feel so much more confident about my body and less guilty about eating carbs and fats. Your videos are helping me realize that I am doing everything right to stay happy and healthy. Thank you.
I really admire the fact that you have such a huge part in taking care of your mom for you its probably the obvious thing to do but that wouldn't be the case for everyone. its really amazing you are such an incredible human thanks for sharing so many parts of your life with us.
Sidenote but this style of hair (the middle part and everything) is so flattering on you!!
I’m so proud of you. I love seeing you grow as a person and influencer. This journey has been just amazing to follow. Congrats on everything. All my love and support goes out to you! Thank you for inspiring many of us ♥️♥️♥️
You’re such an inspiration to me! After going through a weight loss journey myself I often found myself freaking out if I gained any weight and then to watch you do your own transformation has changed my perspective and helped me in so many ways! Your amazing and I love your channel gal!!! Xxxx
Stephanie you honestly look incredible, but it's even better to hear that you're FEELING better and that your food preoccupations have decreased! I remember literally thinking about and obsessing over food 24/7 - it's exhausting! There's a thumbnail with 2 pictures of you - one at your leanest and one taken more recently - and all I can say is you're looking healthy and beautiful! Lots of love x
I truly respect you on your journey. 🤍 I myself am on a similar journey, I appreciate how you are so open & honest about the changes to your body. I also have been going through the process of change to my body ( I recently gained a little weight & it is different compared to my tiny lean physic I use to maintain.) but I truly believe that this is part of being a woman. you go though these changes, but you do not allow it to define you; rather you conquer these changes, and love yourself beyond what you’re use to.✨💪🏻 being a woman consists on being a fighter/ warrior; our strength is symbolically like Wonder Woman.👩🏻 🏹 defy the odds and be you no matter what. You are more than your beauty. 🤍💓🤍💓💁🏻♀️
Can I make a request for a full body work out routine for people who can’t afford gym memberships? Your favorite tips and tricks to eat and workout on a budget
I need my glutes to grow even more this year. Inspirational.
Also, it looks like I've been doing it right eating a lot all last year.
Loved having you talk through the workout and give your tips and trips before and while you did the workout. Thank you! You are stunning and seem like such a sweet person❤️❤️❤️
O. MY. GOD. In my recovery, I've learned that it's not about how you look at all--body neutrality after positivity--BUT STEPHHH. YOUR FACE IS SO FULL AND FULL AND DOE_LIKE. THANK YOU SOOO MUCH for slowly bringing that roundness (very common to Asians) to accepted beauty. You're truly doing the good work as an influencer with making the world a safe place for everyone to see beauty in themselves
Theresa J what part of asia is she from? my dumb ass didn’t realize she was asian at first
I think it's so sweet that you take care of your mom Stephanie. Many many blessings your way
I never knew that about the leg extension machine, I will definitely be giving that a try when the gyms open up
1995-2019 the years that i gained weight.
It has taught me Nothing.
She said I'm thicc now, QUEEN
You are a breath of fresh air steph!! There is so much drama on TH-cam recently and you are so open and calm etc. Please never change xx btw you look amazing!! Get it guuuurl xxx
You’ve taught me last year how to be proud and except my curves, and finally work on my glutes. Bringing sexy back the healthy way Stephanie ♥️♥️
When I've gained weight i've noticed that fat never accumulates on my lower body (legs, butt), anyone with me?
Yes you can see that she got fat on her upper arms and thighs.
Everyone carries their fat differently. I also carry it on my midsection when I gain weight.
Mine goes straight to my thighs. Even when I lose weight, I still got those thunder thighs
Everyone's fat distributes differently but most women get it on their upper body.
@@amartinez5326 No, the hormonal profile in women would dictate that fat general recedes and round the bottom and thighs-
Your mom looked so adorable with the gift bow on her head 😭🤗
Jeff flexing at the chandelier got me dead.
I have had struggles with gaining weight and this video.Including your last one has given me back so much positivity.I feel so much better about my body and don’t feel so sick all the time.Thank you! 🖤💜❤️
Can I just say that I just watched your video about eating more and I absolutely applaud you. Seeing a fitness influencer talk about being healthy and not worrying about the aesthetics of having a six pack has made me so much more motivated to work towards strength and fitness goals instead of what I should look like. Thank you so much for being so open about your journey. 🙌
A fitness expert with a clean house. Freakin love it.
You look a lot more healthy. Your skin especially.
Self love is key to all of our journeys this year! Started my weight loss journey on my channel can’t wait! 😊💕
Stephanie, you're INCREDIBLY strong, physically and mentally. Very inspirational!
thank u for the time stamps! also subsrcrided for cheat days but stayed for ur amazing personality!
I love the slime thick look. That's what I'm going for. Snatched waist and with nice thick hips, buns, and thighs. I love you better thicker. You look so much healthier. Great job!
Donnie Richardson she was still healthy before
Yasmine Medina he just said she lookS healthier. Which I agree, but it’s all opinion
@@yasminemedina2542 she wasn't, which is precisely why she decided to "go all in".
OMG overnight oats are totally underrated. I had to stop making it because I just kept eating it nonstop
Akemiko yesss and with cacao it’s extra delicious
It’s weird and scary how TH-cam suggested this video. I’m a guy and I play rugby. So the video had nothing to do with me. Or so I thought.
However, after watching your other videos I then became I scared (or worried) at TH-cam “listening” to my conversations.
I hurt my knee a few years back and started to put on a lot of unhealthy weight. I used IF to regulate my weight but ended losing 47 pounds over 6 months. Oh well. Being lighter won’t hurt much right?
My knee is now healed up and I’m back on the field. After a full year of training (sprints, plyometrics, squats, etc) I still don’t feel as explosive or as strong as I was when I was 230 pounds especially during games.
I mentioned this to a teammate a few weeks back. We came to the conclusion that I needed to go back to eating regularly. Low glucose? I’m guessing I won’t be as ripped any more but at least I’ll have energy and power again.
Just like what you concluded from your All In project right?
Yo that's creepy
Why are you just so extremely beautiful and full of positivity? ☺️ I truly think spending my time on your channel is time well spent ☝🏻 the impact you’ve had on me to learn to love myself and to learn that it’s not all about body image, girl if you only knew 😄 nothing but good vibes for you 💕
Seeing those clips side by side was really eye opening to just how lean you used to be. I love how healthy and happy you are now and that you’re embracing your curves on this journey. My goals are to recomp and gain more muscle/shape but not necessarily get super lean and shredded and I love all your content. We support you and I’m looking forward to your insight into shaping a strong, curvier body going forward.
