That wasn't laziness, that was depression. Been there. I had a very good therapist and built my relationship with God. It took a while and I came out better than I went in
I know EXACTLY how you feel! I had a journey of my own going through a divorce and becoming a single mom of 4 . It is an emotional rollercoaster and I am in your corner girl! It takes a of emotional and strenuous growth mentally to come out on top. 💞
Coming up with a short term plan to loose weight is where A LOT of us mess up. I had to UNLEARN a lot of things when it comes to loosing weight. First, I want to say I'm glad you're on the right path were you able to give it another go again, but make sure this time you GIVE YOURSELF SOME MUCH NEEDED TIME TO LOOSE not only the weight of unhealthy fat, but also loose the weight of your mental and spiritual burdens. For me I had to loose that first than the weight of fat came off naturally to were I dont have to be on a diet. Just eating right and getting the proper exercise is just enough. I recommend you, but your choice, you seek a therapist or a consular. Talking to someone, rather than TH-cam...lol, will help out a lot. I know it did for me and others. I know this was wordy but I hope this helps 😊
So glad I saw this comment. In all my fitness journey, I've never thought of setting short term weight loss goals. I've ALWAYS thought or said...especially looking in the mirror...Man, what am I going to do to get ALL this weight off...and keep it off?!! I'm so discouraged just looking at myself, because it's going to be a long and hard journey. LORD!!!!😫😩
I’m a divorced single mom and have been watching you for awhile now. I appreciate you sharing your journey. I had the opposite affect several years ago and lost weight because I had to cut quite a bit to be able to afford my bills on a single income. The recent weight gain was due to being on medication and so am on the weight loss journey yet again. We can do this!! Rooting for you!!❤️🙏🏾
Jeanette, I’m so sorry for everything you’ve gone through and I will be lifting you up in prayer🙏🏽. Please be encouraged, you are such a strong 💪🏽 & beautiful person. In spite of all this, you are STILL STANDING!! Depression is never an easy battle to fight but with God, ALL things are possible! Lift your head up and keep on pushing girl. God has you and your beautiful babies completely covered! I’m looking forward to joining & supporting your weight loss journey. We are stronger together! We appreciate your transparency and your positive energy. Stay blessed!
Amen @PaulaLewis I 100% agree with you. Remember love, BUT God! He’s our healer, redeemer, and can heal your mind body and soul. Blessings 🙏🏽TRUST me when I say I’ve been there too! I’m still on my healing ❤️🩹 journey.. Blessings
I’m so proud of you for taking control of your life! You are an awesome woman! I recently started back on keto after losing 62 pounds and gaining it all back. I’ve lost 9.4 pounds so far and I’m not turning back this time. I’m currently at 220 and I want to get to 160. You really inspire me to keep going! You can definitely do this!!✌🏾✌🏾✌🏾✌🏾❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
This video took a lot of strength to make. I appreciate your transparency. I felt every word you said about losing weight and feeling great and then how you gained it back. Also about how your whole body has to be in alignment.
Stay strong sister. You got this, We support you. Postpartum depression is real. Children feel the stress going on within the home between the parents too, and can act out. Girl it's not lazy, it's depression, don't be so hard on yourself you've been through a lot. NOT commenting on other people's weight needs to become a thing immediately!
Thank you so much 🥰 Yes, the children were and still are affected by the changes. I agree 🙌🏽 commenting on weight loss can be triggering I know people mean well but, still🙃
I’ve been following you since the beginning of this year, I don’t think I’ve ever commented but I just had to let you know that your resilience is so inspiring! I’m glad you didn’t allow yourself to be swallowed up by all the hard things you overcame in recent years. I’m looking forward to seeing you continue to grow! You got this!
Hell Yeah Woman!!! What a beautiful heart you have, thank you for sharing 💙 It sounds like you have had some massive changes in your life internally which I think will lead you to losing all the weight that you want. You got this :) PS: I don't know if it was weird for me to listen to this being a man and a single dad but I resonated with quite a bit thank you 🙏
I hope your still at it lil sis, cause you just motivated me so much. I have regained and now at 253lbs. I keep finding myself making it down to 220lbs and not going further or like some things start happening to distract me or I become to relaxed and I end up doing this same thing. So, please share, it really helps to stay on track when you see other ladies holding themselves accountable. My healthiest weight is 165lbs.
You ARE a shining light! You've gone through a lot, and in my opinion, it was totally okay to just 'do the bare minimum' for a while. Your perseverance will see you through!! 💝
So I want to say you are seriously so brave. Like it's crazy your seriously inspire me on a deeper level based on every single thing that you said. I feel like as black woman the depths of emotional and physical trauma is unwavering and unmatched and I applauded you for speaking your truth. You look nothing like the hell that you have been through and I do not fault you for doing what you need to do in order to process your pain. I feel like society puts a lot of judgement on woman especially to look a certain way or being a certain weight and my response to that is "you don't know what someone else it going through. You don't ever know someone else pain". I am glad you prioritize your mental health first and foremost; your children's mental health and their well being. You are an incredible and excellent mother. God bless you for sharing this and you making the decision to be the best you that you can be is the most important entity in all of this. So thanks again for sharing and I'm looking forward to your progress.
I’m a divorced mom of 5 kids, I went to something different from married, divorced attacked-raped while getting the divorced, having that child from that to homeless had to go on assistance the whole thing to almost loosing my medical credentials to work and support my kids. I know exactly how you feel, trust me I did a video on my TH-cam channel on it in October for Domestic Violence month. Thank you for sharing your story your truth! I feel yah on the weight trying to lose 50 pounds by my bday April 2022! You can do anything you put your mind to it, with God all things are possible when it seems impossible! 😘🙏🏽✨
I can relate to majority of what you're going through. I hope you find healing regarding your attack. As for him, I hope he gets what he deserves!!! Much favor to you and your family!
I will be praying for you. Just understand that this is the first step! Releasing all of this will allows you to grow and be a better you so that you can continue to be the amazing mom that you are. You got this!
Going through being assaulted really takes a toll on you especially if you don't have good emotional support. The judicial system constantly fail the victims. I hope that one day you can own a home for you and your children. It will give you the space and freedom to live and feel safe. You can bounce back from this for sure.
Girl, I so empathise with your situation, especially having the demands of children yet a relationship which is dragging you down yet the finances and overall demands tend t fall on you.....wooohhh too much! Prayers up for you hun, when things are not what they should be look at what they could be things will always get better.....and yet we still rise!! You are an empowered lady hun, what us MELANATED WOMEN ENDURE and have to hold, no person besides US and OURS would understand. Keeping pushing on hun, you will and MUST win . Rebuke any negativity, positive affirmations and clean eating, meditating etc, rooting for you x
I am a white woman, and I’m often so inspired by what “melanated women” endure and overcome. At the same time, I’m very aware that the “strong black woman” trope can be a racist and oppressive stereotype. EVERY woman deserves to not have to feel “strong” all the time. It’s normal to feel overwhelmed and discouraged at times, and we should feel free to admit that openly and not always have to put up a strong front. I am working very hard to embrace all of it - the highs and the lows. It takes real grit and determination to persevere sometimes. I’m going through a challenging period myself right now, and trying to have faith that it’s temporary and I’ll come through it OK.
Weight is just number, we are so much more than a dress /pant size. Your heart, mind , soul & spirit are what matters. We leave everything else behind. I gained my weight back +20 lbs, so I sympathize with you. You can start over anytime 😊
Thank you for your vulnerability, Queen. God bless you, your babies and your journey. I’m a single mom on a mission to lose 80 lbs overall. Appreciate the inspiration!
I will pray for you. Because I know that dark mental place is hard to not only get out of but also to keep away. Stay strong. Not everyone can understand how that feels.
I understand how overwhelming it is to have stumping and jumping noises. I sympathize with you but people work and want to get as much rest absent the noise. We had a neighbor who had a child that would jump and stump at 10:00 every night until midnight. We complained as my husband’s day started at 4:00 to prepare for work. Intermittent explosive temper tantrum disorder is soo hard for parents to deal with. I hope it gets better for your son. Yesss ma’am you have been through and to see you speak with such courage despite the circumstances shows you are strong. You’re beautiful and extremely smart and I wish the best for you in 2022.
I agree that noise around that time 10pm-11pm is unreasonable. We had neighbors who’s children would run around from 7:00pm -10pm and start back up at 5am. It was ridiculous because the parents didn’t find their behavior problematic. (Just like in this situation😏) Luckily they were only our neighbors for a year.
I’m so sorry you experienced such abuse. Weight gain in trauma is expected and unfortunately happens. I’m in the same boat that I had lost a lot of weight and pretty much gained it back. I started yesterday on my journey back to myself so I’ll do it with you!! I’m starting with a popular green smoothie cleanse program. PS we have a lot in common. I live in HoCo and my bday is 4 days before yours.
Damn… i needed this video. I’ve been battling for months with silent depression and gaining weight, sleeping no more than 3-4 hours daily, working, being a mom and still helping other. Meanwhile, I’m so internally drained. We battle so much silently and we are so judged without realizing the mental state we are truly dealing with… I’m praying with you and for you!! 🙏🏾🙏🏾 i love your transparency and channel❤️😘
God is so good. I commend you for staying strong even though it was hard. Believe me when I say I know what you were going through. I'm so happy you you overcome those issues to be where you are today. I keep battling with my weight. I loss 40 lbs and gained it all back. On Sunday I tell myself I'm going to start on Monday. I haven't started yet. However I'm going to start now. Let's do this!
I am on the same weight loss journey. I joined the MyFitnessPal and record daily all of the food that I eat and my exercise routine. You are a phenomenal woman! I am so proud and happy that you are honoring yourself! I pray for your continuing well being!
Watching this had me in tears. I’m a single mother as well and I’ve experienced depression where I felt so guilty that I couldn’t be my best for my son. Recently I experienced an attack that caused a car accident and another car accident around the same time within a year. I was broken. At 40, I was diagnosed with ADHD and learned that black women are misdiagnosed often. It all made so much sense but I felt so behind. I’m 254 pounds now and I haven’t been able to lose more than a few pounds in years! I say all of this to say, thank you for sharing your story. I’ve watched you for years. When you go through things like this, you feel so alone and even ashamed. I just vowed to take care of myself for 6 months but I didn’t know how I would do this. I’m praying for you and your babies. Your genuine vulnerability gave me hope. Thank you. ❤️
Hearing to say how you were eating cinnabons and Haagen-dazs ice cream to feel better is something I can relate to!. I too was also eating a lot of junk food and trying to make myself feel better while I was in a stressful Masters program. I knew I was gaining weight but that junk food was the only thing making me feel better. I gained 50+ lbs after graduating last year. I'm also on a fitness journey! I love the #downby100! Jeanette, you got this! We are going to reach our goals! I also want to say that you are a great mother for all the sacrifices that you are making for your children! Your children may not appreciate it now, but trust me they will appreciate you in the future!
I know this comment is super late but you don't know how motivating your success (and failures) are to me. I've been watching your videos on and off for about a year, and I relate to just about everything. Please keep going. I know they say our weight does not define us but it definitely helps our MENTAL health to be in the physical condition we feel comfortable in.
Jeanette, you were the person who first inspired me to start working out almost two years ago now. I saw one of your videos when you went to a Zumba class and it got me to try a Zumba class of my own at my college's gym. At the time I was ~114 lbs, right now I'm ~185lbs, my goal weight is also 160. You should be proud of yourself! You have been so persistent and strong throughout all of your hardships and I am sure that you will make your goal. I've also had life issues get in the way of my fitness goals (June 2020 is not the greatest time to be a new grad lol), but what's done is done and you can't lose until you give up! By May we'll both be at our goals!💪
I have grown children now, but when they were young I gave the people under me my phone number. It shows that you care and keeps the rental office off your back. Please remember that people pay rent like you and deserve rest. Good Luck!
So sorry that these negatives experiences happened to you. You are strong and you will survive. You are a survivor and I said a prayer for you and your family. Stay positive and on track to reach your goals no matter what the obstacles.
You are very encouraging! I am a divorced mom of 2, trying to loose weight. Thank you for your transparency! Wishing you the best. Prayers for you and your children 💪🏽💪🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽❤️
Hang in there Queen, continue to be the best for yourself and your babies!💖❤💖 I didn't notice your weight gain and it's kinda rude for ppl to be bringing that up bc everyone has personal things going on.
She just looked stylish and beautiful as usual, to me. I tend to not notice people's weight changes though. I think women who obsess about their own weight project it onto other women or some do it as a way tear down someone they are jealous of.
I was thinking the same thing!!! The audacity of these people- not to mention who hasn’t gained weight in the past two years 🙄 PS you look great and people should mind their fuckin business instead of trying to be shady
I'm so sorry for the negative things that have happened to you. I'm proud that you were brave enough to report it and go to court, that was something I could not do. You seem to be well grounded now and yes I want to lose some weight too and I have found some success with intermittent fasting. Right now it's almost Christmas so I'm wishing you and your sweet babies a Merry Christmas!🌲🌲😊
Thank you so much 🥰 it was hard for sure. I have stopped eating around 7pm and eat at 9am. I’m so happy for you 🙌🏽 Merry Christmas to you and your family ☺️
Wow thank you for sharing your truth! I went through a similar situation back in December 2020...I too was sexually assaulted. It's only by the grace of God that I am where I am today. I too have 4 kids to live for. They are my strength. I relate to you on so many levels and am happy that I found your channel. I am cheering you on from California and am looking forward to seeing your content. You got this! We got this! We are survivors! Again, thanks for sharing your truth! ❤️
Thank you for sharing your truth. I know you will accomplish all of the goals you have set for yourself. So glad that overall you are in a better place.
It sounds like you had a lot going on in your life that sent you on a downward spiral. I like that your taking accountability. I hope you can get back on track to stay fit for your mental health. Honestly, food addiction is hard. I am thankful that I have found ways to get over my food addiction by looking for other ways of dealing with my emotions. I went down this path when I was a kid and I got up to 250lbs. I was class 2 obese before I had stop growing. I still wear the scars on my body as an adult. Weight loss is possible, but if you have a bad food addiction, it’s not as easy as some people say. I am a healthy weight now. Honestly, once the weight is off, you have to plan how your going to stay fit so you don’t go back to old habits. This is what a lot of people don’t get. If I had to give a tip, find an activity that you will love. I do pole-fitness, running, weight training to stay fit now and I never thought I would enjoy it. I also have had a boost in my confidence. I am not good at any of these things, but I give it my all. I am staying consistent and that’s what matters. I am working on getting my abs for 2022, but we will see. That has been a goal of my since forever. Anyone can lose weight and improve their lives but you have to fix the root cause of overeating. It sounds like you were emotionally exhausted, so please do not feel bad, just get back on track and learn from the mistakes, most of us can relate! For me, I was eating away disappointing, anxiety, depression, etc. I now redirect those emotions to other activities that brings me comfort. I hate leaving comments like this, but I want to let people know that weight loss is possible even when you were hopeless like I was in 2020. We all need support and encourage, so if that is you, don’t be afraid to come over for a chat. I wish you the very best in 2022. Protect you peace and stay physically and mental healthy. You are still beautiful regardless of weight gain. 😍
Hugs. I related so much to your comment, and as someone else with a history of yo-yoing weight and food addictions, I couldn’t agree more about having a plan to permanently maintain health and fitness on an ongoing basis. Life goes on, no matter what weight we’re at, and stress management is soooo important. 💕
Jeanette, I just became a subscriber a week ago. This story crushed me because you are so sweet and humble. I wish all of your subscribers could give meet you and give hugs, high fives, encouragement and love. I hate that you went through so much. God Bless you and stay strong!
I love that you are a boss mom, who is independent and a role model for your children. I believe that your mental health needs to be the first thing you address. Your weight will come off once you are mentally sound. As women we hold everything down and hold everything in for our family. But cracks start to show in our life and we break down. The reason why I am telling you this is because in my early 30(s) I finally broke and took pills. Long story short I am here for a reason. I listen to Michael Beckwith (and others). I meditate, do yoga, workout wit Xtreme Hip Hop with Phil and walk through nature. I tap into me and am now better for the world. At the beginning of the pandemic I was 275 now I am 229. I cut alot of foods and people out of my life. Tap-in to who you truly are, I hope this helps. Trust me you got this, keep your head up. You are beautiful. I now refer to myself as a beautiful mess.
Wow Jeanette, you have been through so much. Keep the faith and concentrate on your family and your goals, we all go through hiccups and must persevere or totally lose it, you cannot afford to lose it at this point with your children depending on you. Remember “this too shall pass” 💗🌹🌺
Thank you for sharing your story. I too am on a health and fitness journey so I appreciate you talking about the emotional side of it. It gets really hard but I know we will get through it! Praying for you and your family!
Absolutely an amazing video. Your strength exemplifies your greatness!!!! You are excellence in its truest form. I’m excited to go through this fitness journey with you. Although I’m striving to get rid of 65 pounds, I’m on this journey with you all the way. Stay blessed. 💕
I'm so sorry you experienced those hardships, but the plan for your life is so strong. You have seen how resilient you are! When you are stressed, remember your accomplishments, breathe, regroup, and start again. You are an inspirational! I'm praying for you!!!
Thank you for sharing your story! I have a therapist and she has definitely helped me through some hard times. My goal is 60 lbs by my birthday in July 💪🏾🏋🏾♀️
You are determined despite having gone through so much! I am a first time mom (my baby just turned 1). It would be great to be part of a weight loss community of moms.
Thank you for sharing your story. I can relate to you on so many levels. You’re very inspiring. I’m looking forward to following you and working alongside you to lose weight and get back on track myself. You’re beautiful inside and out. I’m so thankful to have found your channel. XO-Trina
I know how you feel I lost 40lbs last year and being depressed I have gained 20 back. Thanks for the encouragement. I was so angry with myself. But I am mentally/physically back.. Lets go
Thank you for the transparency. I'm glad you made a conscious decision to start focusing on yourself again. I lost about 70 pounds, and gained 25 of those pounds back. Now this year is to focus on losing the weight I gained and more. You got this!!
Jeanette thank you for this video and most importantly sharing not only your success but your trails as well .. I’m wishing you nothing but the very best 🥰💙.. sad to say I dropped so much weight thru stress! I’m now trying to eat healthy and focus on what I put into my body but it’s definitely a struggle ..
You are NOT alone!! I lost and gained too. YOU CAN DO THIS!! WE CAN DO THIS!! Keep your head up Queen! Great Mom and inspiration to us all!! #downbytwenty #downbyhundred 💪🏾🙏🏾❤️
I can't believe a judge let a person get away with attacking you. I'm pissed for you. What kinda shit is that?! Your confidence is inspiring little do you know. You are so strong and beautiful! ✨💖
You were not being lazy depression is real and it can effect people in many different ways! You’re a beautiful soul Jeanette and your content is very helpful and inspirational keep going you’ve got this 💕 when I was working out and eating healthier I felt so much better but I know how it is to go through something and start eating junk again you aren’t alone!!!
Howard County, great schools but too expensive. I grew up in Howard County and left in 2012. The eating, or rather overeating, is part of the depression. I do understand how you were feeling. If you need to get therapy, please do so. I think if I hadn't gotten therapy I wouldn't be here right now. You can lose the weight, just don't put stress on yourself. Your optimism is so great and it is encouraging for me to get going until my birthday in August.
Hey beautiful queen...you have all these support, we are here with you. If you start feeling down, just organize a live session and we will all be there to get you back up again. So much love from me and many others who love you.
Hi Jeanett, stumbled upon this one. Will use it with clients on their fitness journey. But you are lovely! Very glad you pulled through. I know (as many of the people I see) the cold journey of feeling far from "home" and also the comfort of having people band around you. It's a blessing to know both sides! Praying for you!!
Thats right young Queen, claim ur life back. Take ur time. Always get ur mental in tact first. Its the driving force and main ingredient for all journeys in life. Big prayers for u and all who are going thru similar situations.💖
That’s why I take everything I see with a grain of salt and not at face value because you never know what people are going through. I hope everything works out for you and your family.
Thanks for your transparency. I have of the same struggles with weight and stress. I recently made the decision to have vsg surgery 9/28. And I started counseling to address my emotional issue. I will be following. Thanks for the inspiration
I'm so sorry for what you went through! You are such a strong woman and I admire how you take care of everything with all the trauma. Just know that everyone eventually pays for what they do to others. I pray that you get healing emotionally, mentally, physically and spiritually. You are a beautiful human being, the weight does not define who you are. ❤️ wishing you the best! Xoxo
I go for months without stepping on the scale, so I feel your pain. But looking at your more recent videos, I’m truly inspired to lose weight, thanks for sharing.
You're clearly a strong, brave woman who loves her children. It took a lot to share what you have with us. Sending God's blessings to you and yours. May you have everything you need to reach your goals and beyond! 🙏🏽❤
I remember a time I stopped watching your videos because you just looked so sad. Smh. You never know what anyone goes through. Thank you for sharing your story because you are going to help so many women who are in your situation or worse. I will support you more and hope that everything gets better for you and your children.
I am so sorry you have gone through so much. God bless you. Hang in there. Sometimes we go through spiritual warfare. The universe will create hiccups to have us stop and breathe and be still in the small moments. Even though you are a single mom, please do your best to stop being so hard on yourself. Please know the devil is a liar... you deserve to be healthy...you are likely emotionally eating because you are using food as a coping mechanism. Consider counseling, and consider a self defense class because occasionally without knowing we can standout and attract some things without knowing. Being attacked is no joke-- Im so sorry. You are not lazy when you you take time to self care and process. Sending you blessings for peace and prosperity in 2022 and beyond. Take care from another Maryland girl. You got this!
❤️You’re a strong, intelligent, beautiful woman, life happens to us all; however it sounds like you rolled with the punches and handled all your dark moments like a queen. Mental health issues are real and I’m proud that you didn’t give up and are here to give your testimony❤️👑💪🏾
You’re such a strong woman and a great inspiration. I don’t have any doubt that you will holistically achieve your weight goal. Thank you for sharing your story.
Dream car calling your name 🏁good luck with everything I just got a fitness journal for 2021 and I’m making my plans for success. Looking forward to more vids. I’m glad you are getting better mentally, it’s SO important
I can't imagine going through some of the things you spokw about. You are very resilient! I have no doubt that you will be able to lose the weight but whether you succeed or not the main thing is that you're trying! I wish you the best.
You are so strong!! I am sorry that you had to go through so much! Continue to keep moving forward! Remember, for with GOD nothing is impossible. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Hi Jeanette, thank you for sharing what you went through. I am sorry that you went through such difficulties but glad you are taking steps towards healing and placing focus on the things that matter to you. Mental well-being and physical health are interconnected, and I admire you for taking back your power. Blessings and be well. ❤
It's so wild to me that this video popped up on my home page! I wish I could meet you because our stories are so similar. Im currently in a position where im dealing with so many difficult situations while trying to loose weight. I just wanted you to know you sharing your story inspired me tremendously. Thank you 💜
Say no more darling ... It's like looking into a mirror watching this. My hiccups started 2018 as well. So grateful to hear your transparency, triumph, and resilience. My prayer is that you are blessed with the mind of God, and every bit of wisdom God imparts to you, you pour into your precious babies (including that financial literacy). I wouldn't wish being financially stuck on my worst enemy. #GodiSAble 🙏🏾💕
I feel your pain, however, I do understand the individuals who lived next to you. Maybe they had to work. 10:00 pm may be late for someone who may have to work in the morning. There should have been a conference between the tenants. As for the managers, so sad, there is a way to speak to people. Be blessed and stay focused.
That wasn't laziness, that was depression. Been there. I had a very good therapist and built my relationship with God. It took a while and I came out better than I went in
So proud of you 🙌🏽
@@jeanettejbeauty6374 I'm proud of you and your bravery
Yes indeed
I , too, will never regret finding my therapist. It's a process, but one of the best decisions I have ever made. Thank you for being transparent.
Fight!!!!
I know EXACTLY how you feel! I had a journey of my own going through a divorce and becoming a single mom of 4 . It is an emotional rollercoaster and I am in your corner girl! It takes a of emotional and strenuous growth mentally to come out on top. 💞
Thank you so much 🥰 it definitely requires a lot of strength.
Coming up with a short term plan to loose weight is where A LOT of us mess up. I had to UNLEARN a lot of things when it comes to loosing weight. First, I want to say I'm glad you're on the right path were you able to give it another go again, but make sure this time you GIVE YOURSELF SOME MUCH NEEDED TIME TO LOOSE not only the weight of unhealthy fat, but also loose the weight of your mental and spiritual burdens. For me I had to loose that first than the weight of fat came off naturally to were I dont have to be on a diet. Just eating right and getting the proper exercise is just enough. I recommend you, but your choice, you seek a therapist or a consular. Talking to someone, rather than TH-cam...lol, will help out a lot. I know it did for me and others.
I know this was wordy but I hope this helps 😊
Thank you 😊 I agree with having a plan and will resume my fitness journey. It’s definitely a journey in all capacities 🙌🏽
This comment 👍🏾
THIS!!!!
So glad I saw this comment. In all my fitness journey, I've never thought of setting short term weight loss goals. I've ALWAYS thought or said...especially looking in the mirror...Man, what am I going to do to get ALL this weight off...and keep it off?!! I'm so discouraged just looking at myself, because it's going to be a long and hard journey. LORD!!!!😫😩
You can do this!, I am with you! Doing right for myself, my family, my community. You get down by 100 and I’m getting down 45 by May! Let’s gooooo!!
Thank you so much 🥰 we can do it 🙌🏽
Me too 🤚🏾 !!! 100 pounds by June 22…in Jesus NAME!!! I’ve claimed it for us All!!!
@@racheldominique482 I’m gonna be joining you ladies on this! We can do it!

You look amazing and you are very strong. I lost 60 lbs. You can do it. Weaning myself off of sugar made a big difference.
Thank you so much for your encouragement🥰 I have lost 11 pounds so far 🙌🏽
That’s awesome! Keep up the great work.
How did you wean yourself off of sugar? That’s what I’m currently struggling with.
@@SimplyAnimated I think the idea is try to do one less serving each weeks so day week one you normally have this much. By week two cut a bit off
@@rejesus7106 thank you so much! 🙏🏾❤️
I’m so proud of you for taking control of your life! You are an awesome woman! I recently started back on keto after losing 62 pounds and gaining it all back. I’ve lost 9.4 pounds so far and I’m not turning back this time. I’m currently at 220 and I want to get to 160. You really inspire me to keep going! You can definitely do this!!✌🏾✌🏾✌🏾✌🏾❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so much 🥰 it means a lot! You can do it 🙌🏽
This video took a lot of strength to make. I appreciate your transparency. I felt every word you said about losing weight and feeling great and then how you gained it back. Also about how your whole body has to be in alignment.
Yes, it did 🙌🏽 we can do it 🙌🏽🙌🏽
Stay strong sister. You got this, We support you.
Postpartum depression is real.
Children feel the stress going on within the home between the parents too, and can act out.
Girl it's not lazy, it's depression, don't be so hard on yourself you've been through a lot.
NOT commenting on other people's weight needs to become a thing immediately!
Thank you so much 🥰 Yes, the children were and still are affected by the changes.
I agree 🙌🏽 commenting on weight loss can be triggering I know people mean well but, still🙃
You're beautiful either way don't let the weight define you. I'm going through weight gain myself and I know this journey isn't easy.
Thank you so much 🥰 it takes a lot of discipline for sure. We can continue the journey ☺️
I’ve been following you since the beginning of this year, I don’t think I’ve ever commented but I just had to let you know that your resilience is so inspiring! I’m glad you didn’t allow yourself to be swallowed up by all the hard things you overcame in recent years. I’m looking forward to seeing you continue to grow! You got this!
Thank you so much 🥰
Hell Yeah Woman!!! What a beautiful heart you have, thank you for sharing 💙 It sounds like you have had some massive changes in your life internally which I think will lead you to losing all the weight that you want. You got this :) PS: I don't know if it was weird for me to listen to this being a man and a single dad but I resonated with quite a bit thank you 🙏
Thank you 😊 It’s not weird, as parents especially single parents there’s bound to be similarities. Wishing you the best!
I hope your still at it lil sis, cause you just motivated me so much. I have regained and now at 253lbs. I keep finding myself making it down to 220lbs and not going further or like some things start happening to distract me or I become to relaxed and I end up doing this same thing. So, please share, it really helps to stay on track when you see other ladies holding themselves accountable. My healthiest weight is 165lbs.
Yes, sis 🙌🏽 we have some similarities! I will continue to share ☺️ You WILL do it 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
2019 and 2020 almost broke me too sis.. We made it through 🥰🥰 thank you for sharing.
Yes we did 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽 Happy New Year 🎊
Girl, I live in Howard county too…divorced with 3 children. Sending you lots and blessings and good vibes. You got this ❤️
Thank you so much for the encouragement🥰
You ARE a shining light! You've gone through a lot, and in my opinion, it was totally okay to just 'do the bare minimum' for a while. Your perseverance will see you through!! 💝
Thank you so much 😊
We love you girl! I think I have been watching you for almost 5 years and support everything that you do 💜🙏🏾🎄
Thank you so much 🥰🥰
So I want to say you are seriously so brave. Like it's crazy your seriously inspire me on a deeper level based on every single thing that you said. I feel like as black woman the depths of emotional and physical trauma is unwavering and unmatched and I applauded you for speaking your truth. You look nothing like the hell that you have been through and I do not fault you for doing what you need to do in order to process your pain. I feel like society puts a lot of judgement on woman especially to look a certain way or being a certain weight and my response to that is "you don't know what someone else it going through. You don't ever know someone else pain". I am glad you prioritize your mental health first and foremost; your children's mental health and their well being. You are an incredible and excellent mother. God bless you for sharing this and you making the decision to be the best you that you can be is the most important entity in all of this. So thanks again for sharing and I'm looking forward to your progress.
Thank you so much 🥰 this comment means a lot! Wishing you love and light ❣️
I’m a divorced mom of 5 kids, I went to something different from married, divorced attacked-raped while getting the divorced, having that child from that to homeless had to go on assistance the whole thing to almost loosing my medical credentials to work and support my kids. I know exactly how you feel, trust me I did a video on my TH-cam channel on it in October for Domestic Violence month. Thank you for sharing your story your truth! I feel yah on the weight trying to lose 50 pounds by my bday April 2022! You can do anything you put your mind to it, with God all things are possible when it seems impossible! 😘🙏🏽✨
Thank you so much 🥰 I will watch 💜
I can relate to majority of what you're going through. I hope you find healing regarding your attack. As for him, I hope he gets what he deserves!!! Much favor to you and your family!
I will be praying for you. Just understand that this is the first step! Releasing all of this will allows you to grow and be a better you so that you can continue to be the amazing mom that you are. You got this!
Thank you so much 🥰
You don’t look like what you been through….you are absolutely gorgeous….new subbie
Thank you so much 😊
I have had weight problems almost all my life and I am still fighting. I wish you all the best, you are strong.👍🏼
Keep going, you can do it. It's not easy. I know how hard it is to lose weight. Rooting for you!!!
Praying for you to overcome 🙏🏽 it’s not easy, what have you tried to help?
@@elenam9435 thank you for supporting 💕
@@jeanettejbeauty6374 I am seeing a endocrinologist and is helping.
Going through being assaulted really takes a toll on you especially if you don't have good emotional support. The judicial system constantly fail the victims. I hope that one day you can own a home for you and your children. It will give you the space and freedom to live and feel safe. You can bounce back from this for sure.
Thank you so much 🥰
Girl, I so empathise with your situation, especially having the demands of children yet a relationship which is dragging you down yet the finances and overall demands tend t fall on you.....wooohhh too much! Prayers up for you hun, when things are not what they should be look at what they could be things will always get better.....and yet we still rise!! You are an empowered lady hun, what us MELANATED WOMEN ENDURE and have to hold, no person besides US and OURS would understand. Keeping pushing on hun, you will and MUST win . Rebuke any negativity, positive affirmations and clean eating, meditating etc, rooting for you x
I am a white woman, and I’m often so inspired by what “melanated women” endure and overcome. At the same time, I’m very aware that the “strong black woman” trope can be a racist and oppressive stereotype. EVERY woman deserves to not have to feel “strong” all the time. It’s normal to feel overwhelmed and discouraged at times, and we should feel free to admit that openly and not always have to put up a strong front. I am working very hard to embrace all of it - the highs and the lows. It takes real grit and determination to persevere sometimes. I’m going through a challenging period myself right now, and trying to have faith that it’s temporary and I’ll come through it OK.
Weight is just number, we are so much more than a dress /pant size.
Your heart, mind , soul & spirit are what matters. We leave everything else behind.
I gained my weight back +20 lbs, so I sympathize with you. You can start over anytime 😊
Thank you so much 🤗 I’m continuing to work on all of me 🥰
@@jeanettejbeauty6374
You welcome! Remember you are precious in the eyes of God!
All of us needs to work on something lol 😆
Thank you for your vulnerability, Queen. God bless you, your babies and your journey. I’m a single mom on a mission to lose 80 lbs overall. Appreciate the inspiration!
2022 is a new year for us all. Depression and stress is real. I am with you and want to lose 60 lbs next year.
I will pray for you. Because I know that dark mental place is hard to not only get out of but also to keep away. Stay strong. Not everyone can understand how that feels.
I understand how overwhelming it is to have stumping and jumping noises. I sympathize with you but people work and want to get as much rest absent the noise. We had a neighbor who had a child that would jump and stump at 10:00 every night until midnight. We complained as my husband’s day started at 4:00 to prepare for work. Intermittent explosive temper tantrum disorder is soo hard for parents to deal with. I hope it gets better for your son. Yesss ma’am you have been through and to see you speak with such courage despite the circumstances shows you are strong. You’re beautiful and extremely smart and I wish the best for you in 2022.
I agree that noise around that time 10pm-11pm is unreasonable. We had neighbors who’s children would run around from 7:00pm -10pm and start back up at 5am. It was ridiculous because the parents didn’t find their behavior problematic. (Just like in this situation😏) Luckily they were only our neighbors for a year.
You go girl! Being financially independent is one of the best things you can do for yourself and your babies
I’m so sorry you experienced such abuse. Weight gain in trauma is expected and unfortunately happens. I’m in the same boat that I had lost a lot of weight and pretty much gained it back. I started yesterday on my journey back to myself so I’ll do it with you!! I’m starting with a popular green smoothie cleanse program. PS we have a lot in common. I live in HoCo and my bday is 4 days before yours.
Thank you so much 🥰 it definitely is, oh wow we have some common factors ☺️ Yay we can do it 🙌🏽
Damn… i needed this video. I’ve been battling for months with silent depression and gaining weight, sleeping no more than 3-4 hours daily, working, being a mom and still helping other. Meanwhile, I’m so internally drained. We battle so much silently and we are so judged without realizing the mental state we are truly dealing with… I’m praying with you and for you!! 🙏🏾🙏🏾 i love your transparency and channel❤️😘
God is so good. I commend you for staying strong even though it was hard. Believe me when I say I know what you were going through. I'm so happy you you overcome those issues to be where you are today. I keep battling with my weight. I loss 40 lbs and gained it all back. On Sunday I tell myself I'm going to start on Monday. I haven't started yet. However I'm going to start now. Let's do this!
I am on the same weight loss journey. I joined the MyFitnessPal and record daily all of the food that I eat and my exercise routine.
You are a phenomenal woman! I am so proud and happy that you are honoring yourself! I pray for your continuing well being!
Watching this had me in tears. I’m a single mother as well and I’ve experienced depression where I felt so guilty that I couldn’t be my best for my son. Recently I experienced an attack that caused a car accident and another car accident around the same time within a year. I was broken. At 40, I was diagnosed with ADHD and learned that black women are misdiagnosed often. It all made so much sense but I felt so behind. I’m 254 pounds now and I haven’t been able to lose more than a few pounds in years! I say all of this to say, thank you for sharing your story. I’ve watched you for years. When you go through things like this, you feel so alone and even ashamed. I just vowed to take care of myself for 6 months but I didn’t know how I would do this. I’m praying for you and your babies. Your genuine vulnerability gave me hope. Thank you. ❤️
Thank you so much 🥰 I’m so glad we are so strong! We will prevail 🙌🏽🙌🏽
Hearing to say how you were eating cinnabons and Haagen-dazs ice cream to feel better is something I can relate to!. I too was also eating a lot of junk food and trying to make myself feel better while I was in a stressful Masters program. I knew I was gaining weight but that junk food was the only thing making me feel better. I gained 50+ lbs after graduating last year. I'm also on a fitness journey! I love the #downby100! Jeanette, you got this! We are going to reach our goals! I also want to say that you are a great mother for all the sacrifices that you are making for your children! Your children may not appreciate it now, but trust me they will appreciate you in the future!
Thank you so much 🥰 Yes we can do it 🙌🏽
I know this comment is super late but you don't know how motivating your success (and failures) are to me. I've been watching your videos on and off for about a year, and I relate to just about everything. Please keep going. I know they say our weight does not define us but it definitely helps our MENTAL health to be in the physical condition we feel comfortable in.
Thank you for sharing this part of yourself 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 for all of us that are going through our devastating time of our lives we will overcome
Jeanette, you were the person who first inspired me to start working out almost two years ago now. I saw one of your videos when you went to a Zumba class and it got me to try a Zumba class of my own at my college's gym. At the time I was ~114 lbs, right now I'm ~185lbs, my goal weight is also 160. You should be proud of yourself! You have been so persistent and strong throughout all of your hardships and I am sure that you will make your goal. I've also had life issues get in the way of my fitness goals (June 2020 is not the greatest time to be a new grad lol), but what's done is done and you can't lose until you give up! By May we'll both be at our goals!💪
Thank you so much 🥰 we can do it 🙌🏽
I have grown children now, but when they were young I gave the people under me my phone number. It shows that you care and keeps the rental office off your back. Please remember that people pay rent like you and deserve rest. Good Luck!
So sorry that these negatives experiences happened to you. You are strong and you will survive. You are a survivor and I said a prayer for you and your family. Stay positive and on track to reach your goals no matter what the obstacles.
You are very encouraging! I am a divorced mom of 2, trying to loose weight. Thank you for your transparency! Wishing you the best. Prayers for you and your children 💪🏽💪🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽❤️
Hang in there Queen, continue to be the best for yourself and your babies!💖❤💖 I didn't notice your weight gain and it's kinda rude for ppl to be bringing that up bc everyone has personal things going on.
Thank you so much, I will do 🥰
She just looked stylish and beautiful as usual, to me. I tend to not notice people's weight changes though.
I think women who obsess about their own weight project it onto other women or some do it as a way tear down someone they are jealous of.
I was thinking the same thing!!! The audacity of these people- not to mention who hasn’t gained weight in the past two years 🙄
PS you look great and people should mind their fuckin business instead of trying to be shady
@@CharTurner6928 that’s so true! Women change weight a lot and everyone has been dealing with weight changes thanks to the pandemic
@@MiVidaBellisima Yep, most of us have gained the Covid-19lbs.
I'm so sorry for the negative things that have happened to you. I'm proud that you were brave enough to report it and go to court, that was something I could not do. You seem to be well grounded now and yes I want to lose some weight too and I have found some success with intermittent fasting. Right now it's almost Christmas so I'm wishing you and your sweet babies a Merry Christmas!🌲🌲😊
Thank you so much 🥰 it was hard for sure. I have stopped eating around 7pm and eat at 9am. I’m so happy for you 🙌🏽
Merry Christmas to you and your family ☺️
You are still beautiful. Thank you for allowing me to be on this journey with you. I am sending prayers, joy, love and peace your way. Keep pushing
Thank you 🥰We will prevail 🙌
Wow thank you for sharing your truth! I went through a similar situation back in December 2020...I too was sexually assaulted. It's only by the grace of God that I am where I am today. I too have 4 kids to live for. They are my strength. I relate to you on so many levels and am happy that I found your channel. I am cheering you on from California and am looking forward to seeing your content. You got this! We got this! We are survivors! Again, thanks for sharing your truth! ❤️
Thank you for sharing your truth. I know you will accomplish all of the goals you have set for yourself.
So glad that overall you are in a better place.
Thank you so much 🥰
It sounds like you had a lot going on in your life that sent you on a downward spiral. I like that your taking accountability. I hope you can get back on track to stay fit for your mental health. Honestly, food addiction is hard. I am thankful that I have found ways to get over my food addiction by looking for other ways of dealing with my emotions. I went down this path when I was a kid and I got up to 250lbs. I was class 2 obese before I had stop growing. I still wear the scars on my body as an adult. Weight loss is possible, but if you have a bad food addiction, it’s not as easy as some people say. I am a healthy weight now. Honestly, once the weight is off, you have to plan how your going to stay fit so you don’t go back to old habits. This is what a lot of people don’t get. If I had to give a tip, find an activity that you will love. I do pole-fitness, running, weight training to stay fit now and I never thought I would enjoy it. I also have had a boost in my confidence. I am not good at any of these things, but I give it my all. I am staying consistent and that’s what matters. I am working on getting my abs for 2022, but we will see. That has been a goal of my since forever. Anyone can lose weight and improve their lives but you have to fix the root cause of overeating. It sounds like you were emotionally exhausted, so please do not feel bad, just get back on track and learn from the mistakes, most of us can relate! For me, I was eating away disappointing, anxiety, depression, etc. I now redirect those emotions to other activities that brings me comfort.
I hate leaving comments like this, but I want to let people know that weight loss is possible even when you were hopeless like I was in 2020.
We all need support and encourage, so if that is you, don’t be afraid to come over for a chat.
I wish you the very best in 2022. Protect you peace and stay physically and mental healthy. You are still beautiful regardless of weight gain. 😍
Hugs. I related so much to your comment, and as someone else with a history of yo-yoing weight and food addictions, I couldn’t agree more about having a plan to permanently maintain health and fitness on an ongoing basis. Life goes on, no matter what weight we’re at, and stress management is soooo important. 💕
Jeanette, I just became a subscriber a week ago. This story crushed me because you are so sweet and humble. I wish all of your subscribers could give meet you and give hugs, high fives, encouragement and love. I hate that you went through so much. God Bless you and stay strong!
I love that you are a boss mom, who is independent and a role model for your children. I believe that your mental health needs to be the first thing you address. Your weight will come off once you are mentally sound. As women we hold everything down and hold everything in for our family. But cracks start to show in our life and we break down. The reason why I am telling you this is because in my early 30(s) I finally broke and took pills. Long story short I am here for a reason. I listen to Michael Beckwith (and others). I meditate, do yoga, workout wit Xtreme Hip Hop with Phil and walk through nature. I tap into me and am now better for the world. At the beginning of the pandemic I was 275 now I am 229. I cut alot of foods and people out of my life. Tap-in to who you truly are, I hope this helps. Trust me you got this, keep your head up. You are beautiful. I now refer to myself as a beautiful mess.
Wow Jeanette, you have been through so much. Keep the faith and concentrate on your family and your goals, we all go through hiccups and must persevere or totally lose it, you cannot afford to lose it at this point with your children depending on you. Remember “this too shall pass” 💗🌹🌺
Thank you for sharing your story! I’ve been on my weight loss journey for almost a year now and would like to get off about 30 lbs
Yay I’m So proud of you 🙌🏽
Thank you for sharing your story. I too am on a health and fitness journey so I appreciate you talking about the emotional side of it. It gets really hard but I know we will get through it! Praying for you and your family!
Thank you so much 🥰 I think disciple helps and having balance helps along with staying motivated of course ☺️
Absolutely an amazing video. Your strength exemplifies your greatness!!!! You are excellence in its truest form. I’m excited to go through this fitness journey with you. Although I’m striving to get rid of 65 pounds, I’m on this journey with you all the way. Stay blessed. 💕
Thank you so much 🥰 Yay we can do it 🙌🏽
I'm so sorry you experienced those hardships, but the plan for your life is so strong. You have seen how resilient you are! When you are stressed, remember your accomplishments, breathe, regroup, and start again. You are an inspirational! I'm praying for you!!!
Thank you for sharing your story! I have a therapist and she has definitely helped me through some hard times. My goal is 60 lbs by my birthday in July 💪🏾🏋🏾♀️
Thank you for watching 🥰 I’m happy the hear! Yay you will do it!!!
I have been following you for a while Sis. Please know that you are a strong 💪🏽, beautiful❤️and worthy. Stay encouraged 🙏🏽🙏🏽
You are determined despite having gone through so much! I am a first time mom (my baby just turned 1). It would be great to be part of a weight loss community of moms.
Thank you so much 🥰 Yes I am making one 🙌🏽
Thank you for sharing your story. I can relate to you on so many levels. You’re very inspiring. I’m looking forward to following you and working alongside you to lose weight and get back on track myself. You’re beautiful inside and out. I’m so thankful to have found your channel. XO-Trina
You’ve been thru a lot. Take your time on your journey. Don’t beat yourself up. You got this 🙂
I know how you feel I lost 40lbs last year and being depressed I have gained 20 back. Thanks for the encouragement. I was so angry with myself. But I am mentally/physically back.. Lets go
Thank you for the transparency. I'm glad you made a conscious decision to start focusing on yourself again. I lost about 70 pounds, and gained 25 of those pounds back. Now this year is to focus on losing the weight I gained and more. You got this!!
You. Are. Strong! We are here for you, you are resilient & brave! I’m definitely gonna start on this weight loss journey as well! ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so much 🥰 We can do it 🙌🏽
Jeanette thank you for this video and most importantly sharing not only your success but your trails as well .. I’m wishing you nothing but the very best 🥰💙.. sad to say I dropped so much weight thru stress! I’m now trying to eat healthy and focus on what I put into my body but it’s definitely a struggle ..
Thank you so much 🥰 getting healthier is so good 😊 we can do it 🙌🏽
You are NOT alone!! I lost and gained too. YOU CAN DO THIS!! WE CAN DO THIS!! Keep your head up Queen! Great Mom and inspiration to us all!! #downbytwenty #downbyhundred 💪🏾🙏🏾❤️
I can't believe a judge let a person get away with attacking you. I'm pissed for you. What kinda shit is that?! Your confidence is inspiring little do you know. You are so strong and beautiful! ✨💖
Thank you so much 🥰 girlllll I said the same 😫!!! I got this shirt from forever 21 this year ☺️
You were not being lazy depression is real and it can effect people in many different ways! You’re a beautiful soul Jeanette and your content is very helpful and inspirational keep going you’ve got this 💕 when I was working out and eating healthier I felt so much better but I know how it is to go through something and start eating junk again you aren’t alone!!!
Howard County, great schools but too expensive. I grew up in Howard County and left in 2012. The eating, or rather overeating, is part of the depression. I do understand how you were feeling. If you need to get therapy, please do so. I think if I hadn't gotten therapy I wouldn't be here right now. You can lose the weight, just don't put stress on yourself. Your optimism is so great and it is encouraging for me to get going until my birthday in August.
Thank you 🥰I think therapy will help so much to put so many pieces together throughout my life 😊 We will prevail 🙌
Your story will help others 💞💞 Thanks for sharing!!
Resilient is a great word to describe you. You have overcome a lot and you’re still here. You should be extremely proud of yourself! 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾👑👑👑
Hey beautiful queen...you have all these support, we are here with you. If you start feeling down, just organize a live session and we will all be there to get you back up again. So much love from me and many others who love you.
Hi Jeanett, stumbled upon this one. Will use it with clients on their fitness journey. But you are lovely! Very glad you pulled through. I know (as many of the people I see) the cold journey of feeling far from "home" and also the comfort of having people band around you. It's a blessing to know both sides!
Praying for you!!
Thank you so much 🥰 I’m so happy this video can help ☺️
@@jeanettejbeauty6374 You're welcome! Absolutely.
Keep your head up Sis! You are a very resilient woman. You will reach your weightless goals! #DownBy100
Thats right young Queen, claim ur life back. Take ur time. Always get ur mental in tact first. Its the driving force and main ingredient for all journeys in life. Big prayers for u and all who are going thru similar situations.💖
That’s why I take everything I see with a grain of salt and not at face value because you never know what people are going through. I hope everything works out for you and your family.
Thanks for your transparency. I have of the same struggles with weight and stress. I recently made the decision to have vsg surgery 9/28. And I started counseling to address my emotional issue. I will be following. Thanks for the inspiration
I'm so sorry for what you went through! You are such a strong woman and I admire how you take care of everything with all the trauma. Just know that everyone eventually pays for what they do to others. I pray that you get healing emotionally, mentally, physically and spiritually. You are a beautiful human being, the weight does not define who you are. ❤️ wishing you the best! Xoxo
Thank you so very much 🥰
What courage it took for you to be so vulnerable. I've been there too. You are so loved . Here's to your beauty inside and out so 2022 watch out!
I go for months without stepping on the scale, so I feel your pain. But looking at your more recent videos, I’m truly inspired to lose weight, thanks for sharing.
You're clearly a strong, brave woman who loves her children. It took a lot to share what you have with us. Sending God's blessings to you and yours. May you have everything you need to reach your goals and beyond! 🙏🏽❤
You can do it. Set boundaries. Good luck!
Hang in there. You can do it. We all gain weight at times. It takes time to lose weight. It is important to be happy and love yourself.
Thank you for posting this and being so transparent.. I know that was not easy. Wishing you all the blessings your heart can handle!!! ❤
You can do anything you put your mind to. God bless you and He will see you through it. I'm with u, I need to lose 20# and tone up. #Wecandoit
I remember a time I stopped watching your videos because you just looked so sad. Smh. You never know what anyone goes through. Thank you for sharing your story because you are going to help so many women who are in your situation or worse. I will support you more and hope that everything gets better for you and your children.
Stay strong Queen....U GOT THIS AND my prayers are with you. U look beautiful and I love your videos
Thank you so much 🥰
I am so sorry you have gone through so much. God bless you. Hang in there. Sometimes we go through spiritual warfare. The universe will create hiccups to have us stop and breathe and be still in the small moments. Even though you are a single mom, please do your best to stop being so hard on yourself. Please know the devil is a liar... you deserve to be healthy...you are likely emotionally eating because you are using food as a coping mechanism. Consider counseling, and consider a self defense class because occasionally without knowing we can standout and attract some things without knowing. Being attacked is no joke-- Im so sorry. You are not lazy when you you take time to self care and process. Sending you blessings for peace and prosperity in 2022 and beyond. Take care from another Maryland girl. You got this!
❤️You’re a strong, intelligent, beautiful woman, life happens to us all; however it sounds like you rolled with the punches and handled all your dark moments like a queen. Mental health issues are real and I’m proud that you didn’t give up and are here to give your testimony❤️👑💪🏾
You’re such a strong woman and a great inspiration. I don’t have any doubt that you will holistically achieve your weight goal. Thank you for sharing your story.
Dream car calling your name 🏁good luck with everything I just got a fitness journal for 2021 and I’m making my plans for success. Looking forward to more vids. I’m glad you are getting better mentally, it’s SO important
I can't imagine going through some of the things you spokw about. You are very resilient! I have no doubt that you will be able to lose the weight but whether you succeed or not the main thing is that you're trying! I wish you the best.
You are so strong!! I am sorry that you had to go through so much! Continue to keep moving forward! Remember, for with GOD nothing is impossible. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Hi Jeanette, thank you for sharing what you went through. I am sorry that you went through such difficulties but glad you are taking steps towards healing and placing focus on the things that matter to you. Mental well-being and physical health are interconnected, and I admire you for taking back your power. Blessings and be well. ❤
I got married this year and am in HAPPY weight! I’m really trying to lose and get back down. I am here and READY!
That's so normal! I've been married for 8 years and I did in the beginning. Enjoy married life!
It's so wild to me that this video popped up on my home page! I wish I could meet you because our stories are so similar. Im currently in a position where im dealing with so many difficult situations while trying to loose weight. I just wanted you to know you sharing your story inspired me tremendously. Thank you 💜
Say no more darling ... It's like looking into a mirror watching this. My hiccups started 2018 as well. So grateful to hear your transparency, triumph, and resilience. My prayer is that you are blessed with the mind of God, and every bit of wisdom God imparts to you, you pour into your precious babies (including that financial literacy). I wouldn't wish being financially stuck on my worst enemy. #GodiSAble 🙏🏾💕
I believe in you, you’re such an inspiration, you got this!!!🙏🏼❤️💪🏼❤️
I feel your pain, however, I do understand the individuals who lived next to you. Maybe they had to work. 10:00 pm may be late for someone who may have to work in the morning. There should have been a conference between the tenants. As for the managers, so sad, there is a way to speak to people.
Be blessed and stay focused.
