You are literally the only other person I’ve found who obsesses over something, then wakes up with absolutely no interest in it. I literally spend like 2 weeks where my brain only thinks about that one thing- my first thought waking up and my last going to sleep...and then it’s just gone. I really want to be able to stick at something and not completely lose interest in it every time.
As a personal trainer, I cannot think of a more IDEAL client outcome. Be proud of yourself girl. Your mindset is EXACTLY what I try to help my clients achieve! Bravo!❤
“I wanted to lose the emotional weight” - this is so true. 2 years ago I lost a lot of weight and while I looked better in clothes, I was so much happier and healthier. I realised that’s what really matters. Thanks for sharing your experience for us to relate to, through all the ups and downs, I feel a lot more ready to change my life! 😊
I have watched (no exaggeration) possibly hundreds of weight loss videos. I have never been able to relate to one so much in the years I’ve watched them. This has pushed me SO much. I’ve always felt “ok” in clothes but whenever I’ve looked at myself undressed in the mirror I have felt so much sadness and you’ve completely hit the nail on the head where you said that you are looking at all the emotion built up in your body...honestly this video is amazing. Thank you so much and well done, you’ve done absolutely amazing!❤️
I just lost 20kg since May changing my diet alone, it is SO important. Now I’m starting the gym because I want to get strong and toned and I am so excited, especially after watching this!! Thank you so much for sharing your story!
1dday if you want to lose weight you need to be in a calorie deficit. First take a look at your daily foods, takeouts, fizzy drinks and alcohol. Slowly begin to cut these out of your diet, one of the biggest mistakes people make is they drink their calories! Milkshakes gotta go. Once you’ve cut out all this junk food then go look at your daily calories burnt I.e your everyday activities. Believe it or not this is actually the easier one to maintain, so you need to make sure you’re burning more calories than your body requires to maintain weight, the fastest way to actually burn calories is by HIIT and weight lifting however you can start by making small changes such as walking every morning and night starting at maybe 3k in the morning and 3k at night. Start doing more household chores such as cleaning the house and dishes. Once you feel ready it’s gym time! Weightlifting is a bit different for men and women due to testosterone and the whole mess so you’re going to see these guys throwing up these huge weights and it can be quite intimidating but DONT LET IT GET YOU DOWN!!!! Focus on you in there you can find workout plans online easily but for the most part you can follow a simple a push pull legs routine working out 3 times a week and keep up with your walking as it goes on. This is just a short outline on how to really get started on losing weight but most importantly you’ve gotta flip that switch in you that’s says “I want to lose weight, I am going to lose weight”. I believe in you you’ve got this!
Your story really hit me. It's almost the exact same as mine. I'm stuck in the gaining weight, feeling miserable, lonely, comfort eating routine. Constantly going in and out of different ways to lose weight, on a weekly basing and its only making me gain more weight and feel even more miserable. I've never seen a fitness journey video quite like this one. One that focuses purely on the mental side of things instead of the physical side of things. Seeing the complete 360 in someones state of mind and not just the physical change. This is not only motivating but its inspiring! This is exactly what i've been searching years for. This is what I needed. I can do this, I can get healthy. Mentally.
A easy routine is kb circuit in the morning and 1-3 simple weight lifting exercises at night. Just 1 max set for each. Thats phase 1 for beginners to build the habit.
This week i was able to finally run 2km at 15 minutes. I cried so much of joy and pround of myself. One month ago I wasn't able to walk 2km without getting tired and almost sick, and now I fucking RUN
how to tell you, you made me realize how sad i am, not happy, lost in my head, i feel bad. I knew it, but I always tried to hide it. I live but I am empty from the inside I live for others I wanted to lose weight for others. I cried several times while watching your video. With your journey and thanks to your words I understood that I had to change my vision of my body from my mind and start to be happy not to go into jeans but to feel good morally. I want to have a goal in my life, I want to be healthy, I want to get out of this depression that sticks to my skin. Thanks for this testimony. i will change and be a happy person. I will come back to you in maybe a few months or a year with my progress. and I will thank you with all my soul, my heart. I am determined and I can do it.
I've seen this video 3 times already... i'm on a weight loss journey and every time I fail or lose my motivation, come back here... You are an inspiration!! Thank you!
Oh my goodness I do the same! Im sort of actively trying to lose weight (ish) Im more trying exercising and hopefully the motivation to lose weight will come haha, but I do come back to this video every time I want to try!!
I am usually a silent watcher but I just wanted to say how amazing your journey is! The smile on your face shines through the screen and is the best motivation anyone could have! Thank you for your amazing vlogs and videos they have been my favourite to watch (especially your vlogs!) xoxo
Emma, in the span of 47 minutes, I have fallen completely in love with you and your story! I am o proud of you, and this has confirmed the journey that I am on as well! I lost 50 lbs in 18 months, and am still striving daily to feel amazing in my body. Thank you for sharing!
So I'm currently going through a really tough time, I'm 18, my mums really unwell and I'm looking after her by myself and I've not been sleeping more than 3 hours everyday while doing (and currently failing) ALevels. My mental health is awful and I'm borderline anorexic. I know we're starting in different physical conditions but I feel like you were in a similar mental place to where I am now. I really want to get better, I've been fainting a lot, not eating enough and what I do eat is just chocolate. I'm going to get better. I'm going to start eating a bit more and making myself meals before trying to build muscle. I need to get better so that I can help my mum to get better and get through chemo. I'm at my lowest now but you've sort of given me a wake up call that I've got one chance at life and I should take it.
Sorry but you are amazing. I am currently the girl in your "before" photos and I have never felt more inspired. I actually cried for you when you finished your 10k. Well done x
I just started my weight loss journey. Today is literally my first day. I even decided to document my journey on youtube because I have to lose at least 100 lbs. . The guts it takes to be so open and transparent, is insane. You rock!
*If You Have More Than 15 LBS To Lose Then You'll Want To See How This Fat-Dissolving Outback Loophole Can Change Your Life: **th-cam.com/video/ECWTqmnPoJc/w-d-xo.html* 😃
I can’t express how proud I am of you and your courage for publishing such a personal video; you are a true inspiration and you can seriously tell how much happier you are in yourself compared to your videos this time last year. Thank you for being so honest and inspiring, seeing your journey has helped me more than anything! 👏🏻💞
I love this video. When you talked about never sticking with things, I could relate so much. I’ve had the same thing happen where I was obsessed with being “healthy”, and then just stopped. This video is an inspiration for me because I know that being healthy is possible for someone like me. Thank you for this video, I’m so happy you managed to stick with this journey!! ❤️❤️
You are literally the only person other than me that I’ve met that obsesses over something and then the next day couldn’t care less about it. I don’t know why I’m this way, but I’m glad to know I’m not the only one.
ok so I haven't even watched the video yet but im already crying. i just loved watching your journey, like in every single video over the past year and how you've grown as a person and discovered new things. much love to you emma
When you are talking about your weight being emotional weight , I started to cry because I’ve only just realised the reason I’m not happy with the weight is the reason behind it , I’ve joined slimming world and really trying to get into the gym and work out. My goals is not card how much I weight but to look into the mirror and be happy with how I look and how I feel ! These videos are really inspiring and helpful ❤️❤️
A week ago I discovered of this weight loss plan *2WeightLossFast. Com* from a buddy who following the directions lost practically 18 pounds within only some short days. We started, too; my progress has been fantastic. I caint suggest this program enough.
Such an inspiration Emma!! For 15 years I have been suffering with depression and ptsd of sexual abuse as a child. And you are right my overweight body reflects that emotional pain. Everyday my body hurts because I have a tense pelvic floor and tensed back all the time. I am 27 but feel like a 60 year old. I am seeing a psychotherapist, hapto-therapist and physiotherapist to try and tackle this once and for all.
5 minutes in and she talks about back handed compliments I've never related to anything more. At 5'11 and never being 'skinny' it hits home a lot. I've started my journey and can't wait to be making my video in a year hah
This is the most thoughtful and emotional fitness journey vid I've ever watched! I'm so proud of you and you are very inspiring! Thanks for being strong and sharing your personal experience.
This sounds like my story so much! I was always overweight as a young girl and was horribly bullied. After high school I began to starve my self and became anorexic. I met my ex and we had two children and have gone up and down in my weight. I left their father after 17 years of domestic violence and took my kids and moved in with my mother. I have just begun a wellness, fitness journey. I have hit 200lbs and I am so so sick of it!! I want to make changes that stick and that are healthy not starving myself! I am going to be 38 on the 21st of January. So my body has changed a lot and it not as easy for me to just drop weight. Thank you for your story and for helping those of us who feel like we are alone!! ❤❤Bless you!
Honestly this is so inspiring, I’ve never watched a fitness journey that’s resonated with me so much! Especially the goal setting part, it’s so true that focussing on looking a certain way or being a certain weight isnt enough to motivate me! You should be so proud of yourself! ❤️ This has made me so motivated to change my life for the better ❤️❤️
The way you talk about emotional weight is actually amazing and really hit home. Absolutely love that you mentioned how weight gain is a direct manifestation of how you were feeling (sad, depressed) depicted on your body. I 100% felt that. So much of weight loss comes down to self love. ❤️
I’m trying to loose weight for my wedding in May, your videos have given me so much motivation! You’ve honestly been my inspiration these past few months. Thankyou so much! ❤️
This video just came on when I. woke up and I. said, "I'm not going to sit here and listen to someone talk for 45 minutes" and 45 minutes later and I'm still here and now you're not getting rid of me because I'm not leaving. You have a new subscriber and I love you. God sent you to me to tell me to start eating more and incorporate strength training NOW! Thank you for that! Gotta go binge watch your videos now. 😊 God Bless You, you're not busy beautiful on the outside, it's evident that you're a beautiful soul!
❤️oh emma. I’ve watched you for years and I don’t know you but it feels like I’m watching a friend and I couldn’t be more proud. I welled up seeing you cross the line at the 10k. I’ve never been into fitness my self but I’ve never been overweight. I gained weight over the last few years only a tiny bit like my arms were a bit soft and my double chin was a bit more noticeable than I would like but then I’ve recently gone vegan(except chocolate) and now I’ve lost weight again. At first I felt good but now I realise I actually want to be strong. I can’t afford the gym and school tires me and makes me feel like I don’t have time. But I’m really gonna try I need it for my head. My grandad died five months ago and it’s only getting harder. I need something to feel proud of. Good luck with everything emma 😊 you’re amazing. I can’t wait to see you get stronger and stronger x
Hi! I've read the whole text and I recommend you to do some TH-cam routines as substitute for the gym. That's what me and a lot of people I know have done and I totally recommend it, specially because is free and you can do it anywhere you want. Hopefully this will help you. :D
This is one of the best weight loss journey videos I have watched! Sometimes I don’t even make it 10 minutes into a video, easily watched this entire video. Congrats on your successful journey!
I have to say, I have watched a lot of weight loss journey videos, but this has been one of the most inspiring. I really appreciate how you took your time and broke down everything you did. It was really informative and also motivating. Just goes to show, small changes snow ball into life altering transformations. Love this so much! 💕
This honestly helped me so much knowing someone has went through the same experiences I’m going through now thank you so much Emma you have really inspired me x
I have never had a story impact me as much as yours has, I’ve been making a conscious effort over the past month to get ‘healthy’, I’ve abandoned the notion of getting skinny, fitting into a size 8 again... I’m 52 and a Gramma of 2, I just want to be healthy. I don’t want to be that Women who sits in the couch eats unhealthy junk food and be totally unmotivated. Thanks for sharing, I hope to have my own story someday, and I can inspire others like me. Hugs 🤗 💞😉
This is honestly so inspiring! I have always struggled with my weight. Been going to the gym on and off for 5 years and can't stick to it. I've had PTs and still struggle. I piled on 2 stone in 2018 in my previous job and I was at my heaviest. Between January - April 2019 I lost a stone and since then I haven't been able to shift any more weight. I'm now in a more physical job which keeps me somewhat fit but as you said, I'm using more energy so I eat more. I get home, eat again and just go to bed. I to have always binge ate and eat when I'm bored and comfort eat 😪 I have now, quit the gym AGAIN because I've lost all motivation and I can't seem to get it back 😔 I don't know how you do it and wish I had your motivation. You look unbelievable!
Hearing you talk about your struggles with an obsessive personality and how it effected your relationship with being healthy is INCREDIBLY similar to what I am going through right now. Thank you for sharing and giving me hope I can overcome my mind❤️
This is the one of the most refreshing fitness journey videos I’ve seen. I absolutely love your attitude towards mental and physical health. There is so much toxic weight loss information online but this is actually real, healthy, and super motivational!!! This is a REAL inspiration. Keep being amazing girl💗
You absolutely crushed it! I can’t believe the progress you made in only a year! Congratulations on all of your hard work. I, myself, am only 4 weeks in to my weight loss journey, and just started incorporating fitness this week. After my trauma, as I recovered, I started to love food again and gained an unhealthy amount of weight in a very short period. I can’t wait to see how far I’ll go!
Emma, you are amazing and you are so inspiring! I started healthier eating on 23rd January, so far lost 8.5lb, and want to start incorporating some exercise. Something I am fearful off as I know I cant run etc currently, so I am going to start small. I am going to make it my goal to build up to be able to do a park run in the summer. Love the idea of setting non weight related goals, I want to feel that pride when I can say I have managed to run 3k! You have inspired me, keep up the good work!
I am crying so much watching this, because I’ve never watched a weight loss video so inspiring and truly relatable in every way. Thank you so much. I’ve recently just started my fitness journey myself and this video has just SOLIDIFIED it into my life and will continue to inspire me for years to come. I hope to get to where you are someday, not just physically but mostly mentally. Thank you and God Bless you!!
This is one of the most positive, healthy weight loss videos I’ve ever seen! Your attitude is amazing and your approach is really inspiring. It’ll last because you’ve focussed on the important things regarding your health and seen the weight loss as a side effect and you can tell you’re totally in that healthy mindset now. Well done Emma ⭐️❤️
Emma, you’re such a unique person. Such a complex, developing and open-minded person. From the moment I found you (Effy makeup tutorial hehe) you’ve been always interesting to watch and to listen to. Thank you so so much for being there and translating your experience to us ❤️
It shouldn't matter - you're lovely when you're less fit and fatter. HOWEVER, no denying that it's quite amazing to see how we view the lean, fit person differently. We have a whole different idea of who they are, yet inside you're exactly the same person. I think it's awesome to have a project - something to throw yourself into, work hard and be rewarded with something you carry around with you everywhere you go! The reality is that whatever we say we DO respond to fit, lean people more positively and we DO FEEL better when we're fit and lean. Also, research shows over and over that we're much healthier when we're in great shape. Keep hold of it for the rest of your life xx
I am so excited for this. You have been inspiring to me for months now and you are so happy and uplifting. You've post this at a time I'm feeling really awful and I'm so ready for this to be the kick I need. Thankyou for being you Emma xx Edit: watched this twice now cause it's just so good😍
I was listening my whole life. But the difference was that I was raised in a family where the mental problems are for the weak and there is nothing wrong with me. Every time I was trying to reach for a help I was getting this "you are super sensitive and it is not the way you see it". I was having so many problems without someone to hear me. Before less than 1year I have moved out in a different coutry without parents, all alone. And then I just saw myself as a beautiful girl in the mirror. The past months I was working to heal my wounds, my mental health but I didnt know how to start. To be honest, I am still in the beginning. But I hired a personal nutrituinist(sry idk how to write this word) and today is my first day when I will do a lifting workout. I hope all of you are healing yourself and you lovely Emma, be blessed and thank you for sharing your story with us :)
I was a Nutritional Sciences major for years, and of all the weight loss information that's out there today, you probably just gave the best explanation of healthy habit lifestyle changes I've ever heard, and your story is incredibly encouraging! Thank you for sharing your beautiful story, for real.
Lately I’ve been struggling again with my body image and disordered eating and this video helped me so much. To see you make this change in a healthy way and seeing it as a goal for a certain thing not just to be skinny made me cry and feel so much better.
I've been meaning to watch this for a year now, but only just felt stable enough to watch this. Thank you so much for being so open and honest about it, cannot explain how much it meant to hear someone openly talking about things I have also struggled with. Thanks for being an incredibly real inspiration for me right now! ❤️❤️❤️
Emma I'm so proud of you!! I've just started running weekly 5k's with my dad and eating much healthier and if I can achieve even half of what you have I'll be so happy!
Had to quip in and just say I love your sports bra!! love the little extra cheekiness and empowering pattern omg you look bomb in it! Also, I am so happy you're happy and in a good space mentally, it literally means everything and from someone who knows the struggle I am so proud of you and it makes me even more eager to get there myself. Thank you for telling your story! xo
So this video had me crying the whole time. Everything you said struck a cord with me big time. When you said you wanted to get rid of the emotional weight because you see it every day. I went from a size 8/10 to a 18 over the course of 7 years and I have maintained that gross weight for 3 years. I’m depressed and massively over weight and I need to make a change big time. I’m going to implement a lot of the things you said. I’m going to use this lock down to get my head in the right place. Thank you for being such an inspiration xx
I cried and you've helped inspire me!! I've started my weight loss journey only a couple days ago and I'm so ready to feel good about myself and not hate how I feel and look. Thank you for sharing!!!
Emma, I’ve been subscribed to you forever now.. and I just want to say this video is by far my fav of yours. I’m a big girl myself and I related soooo hard to everything you said. I loved all your tips and I’d honestly love to see more fitness/inspo from you. Maybe where to start in the gym/eating when you first start out? Maybe a video with tips for beginners? Just as a thought! Thank you so much for this video.
I found your channel when trying to find ‘bigger girl’ clothing hauls to see what would fit my new body (I put a lot of weight in during pregnancy and kept it on) and you gave me so much confidence. But you’ve also been the only person that has admitted that you can preach body positivity while being bigger, while appreciating that you also need to be mentally healthy which you realised you weren’t being. Losing this weight doesn’t mean you hated your body, it was about realising you weren’t mentally healthy and mentally strong. Your journey is honestly so inspiring. I’ve not changed my lifestyle because I thought it would mean I was going back on me saying I don’t mind being a bigger girl now, but I’m so unhealthy that I am going to be following your tips for the physical and mental help rather than focusing on weight loss numbers ❤️
This is SO inspiring! Literally got chills when you said that you climbed Machu Picchu. Thank you so much for sharing your journey, I started mine last week 😊
I just want you to know I’ve never related to anything more and this has really resounded with me and helped me already change the way I think and I’ve been to a PT twice and have such a great relationship with him. I have always been a comfort eater and have went through a lot of emotional trauma in my life so have yoyo’d with my weight a lot since my teenage years even though I was very active as a child. This has given me so much inspiration to go back to thriving with fitness and hopefully in a year I can have similar results as someone that’s a similar weight and body composition to where you started.
Watching this makes me super happy! I've been watching a fair amount of transformation videos over the past 5 weeks to keep motivating myself on my fitness journey. I've been doing plenty of research on becoming more fit and healthy, and this video inspires me so much because it is someone actually putting into action small changes over a long period of time. It's so refreshing and motivating to see someone in it for the long haul, rather than quick fixes that don't help in the long run. Thank you for this video x
I did not expect to watch the full 50 minutes but I did! Never watched a video of yours before, just came up on my recommended. Honestly this video has really resonated with me and I’m very very similar to your starting point. It’s inspiring to see you go from the position I’m at now to where you are now. Gives me a lot of hope. Thank you
Watching this video made me tear up a little, not because it was sad but because everything you were saying about your personal relationship with your body, mind, health, and fitness was all just very relatable to my life and the current journey I'm on so it really hit deep. Currently I'm on a fitness journey myself, my goal is to lose weight and build muscle, but my main goal that keeps me going is to overcome the emotional baggage that has always held me back as I grew up. I wanna be able to heal, love, and piece myself back together through this journey. So far, I've lost 53 lbs and I still have some more to go, but besides the number, the way I carry myself now is so much healthier than before. I feel beyond proud and happy for myself on the inside because this kind of achievement could never be represented through a number. Slowly, but surely I'll get there. Hearing your story I was able to reconfirm this thought/resolve of mine, the belief I know I have in myself, so thank you.
So inspirational, I’d lost all motivation with my fitness journey and you’ve sparked some excitement for exercising back into me!! So lovely to see you looking and feeling so strong! 💪🏽💜
Just seen this video and took me to 3/4 the way through to realise u started on 25th February 2019 and I started slimming world on the 25th february 2020. Must be something about that date. I can only dream of achieving what you have in a year you've done bloody amazing
I am watching this 2022! I’m 36 weeks pregnant and so ready to get into the gym. This intro ALONE is so motivating & inspiring. Can’t wait to the watch this when I’m cleared to be able to go to the gym. I’ve watched this years ago, but I love your video. Thank you
Wow you are so incredible. I have never watched someone as hard working, determined and yet compassionate and kind like you. Im so happy I have found your channel!
This has given me more motivation to better myself, I have been thinking about going to the gym for a long time. I just want to be fitter and have more strength and you have made me want to do it more. THANK YOU
I don't think I've ever related to someone more in so many ways. With you saying how flippant you were with your motivation/interests, your disordered eating in your past, holding onto emotional weight... I've been starting to view my body and health in general very different lately and focus more on feeling good rather than looking a certain way or weighing a certain amount, and this video just helped me grasp so many things. Thank you so much for making this.
I’ve literally just started a similar journey. I’m so glad I stumbled across your video it’s been really helpful and inspiring. Thank you for being honest about your journey to fitness. I’ll definitely be subscribing xx
I think this is the most inspirational and motivational transformation I've ever seen. I'm more proud of your transformation than my own 😅 well done girl!
When she said she used to purge it was like a punch to my stomach. I had absolutely no clue that someone who I’ve watched for years struggled with the same things as I did. Thanks so much for this video Emma. It’s incredible.
I've never been so proud of someone I don't know before! Not only do you look amazing but you're in a better place mentally which is so important! Thanks for the video. You're such an inspiration xxxx
This video might be long but it is genuinely one of the nicest fitness transofrmation ones out there. There is a lot to relate to for those of us who are just embarking on this journey and a lot of hope seeing how you have come out on the other side. Much love!
Don’t be sad about those pictures. You learned something, you learned endurance, self-discipline and that is of much value. Great job and glad you also focused on strength!! 💛
You are literally the only other person I’ve found who obsesses over something, then wakes up with absolutely no interest in it. I literally spend like 2 weeks where my brain only thinks about that one thing- my first thought waking up and my last going to sleep...and then it’s just gone. I really want to be able to stick at something and not completely lose interest in it every time.
Hi, it me.
Same here!
I'm the same too
Lucy Jennifer I’m the same way. It’s so discouraging
Me too. Literally bought a car two months ago because I was obsessing over it and now I'm like... meh. Money well spent huh
As a personal trainer, I cannot think of a more IDEAL client outcome. Be proud of yourself girl. Your mindset is EXACTLY what I try to help my clients achieve! Bravo!❤
Wanting to workout and lose your "emotional weight" is such an amazing way to look at it!
“I wanted to lose the emotional weight” - this is so true. 2 years ago I lost a lot of weight and while I looked better in clothes, I was so much happier and healthier. I realised that’s what really matters. Thanks for sharing your experience for us to relate to, through all the ups and downs, I feel a lot more ready to change my life! 😊
😂
I have watched (no exaggeration) possibly hundreds of weight loss videos. I have never been able to relate to one so much in the years I’ve watched them. This has pushed me SO much. I’ve always felt “ok” in clothes but whenever I’ve looked at myself undressed in the mirror I have felt so much sadness and you’ve completely hit the nail on the head where you said that you are looking at all the emotion built up in your body...honestly this video is amazing. Thank you so much and well done, you’ve done absolutely amazing!❤️
ME RIGHT NOW DISCOVERING HER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Whenever I feel really bad and the journey is TOUGH I come back to this video. Thank you Emma x
I am SO ridiculously proud of you, I have never seen someone with such determination ❤️ You are an inspiration!!
Thank you angel, love you lots

I’ve never related more. When you said, “I wanted to lose the emotional weight.” Oh man, that hit home.
I’m absolutely obsessed with you. Fashion, makeup, jewellery, hair and content inspiration and now fitness! Love you so much!
I just lost 20kg since May changing my diet alone, it is SO important. Now I’m starting the gym because I want to get strong and toned and I am so excited, especially after watching this!! Thank you so much for sharing your story!
Imo Lovatt what type of changes exactly?
and did you walk or do some other cardio along with it ?
sorry I want to lose the same weight this year so I’m just asking you all of the stuff
1dday if you want to lose weight you need to be in a calorie deficit. First take a look at your daily foods, takeouts, fizzy drinks and alcohol. Slowly begin to cut these out of your diet, one of the biggest mistakes people make is they drink their calories! Milkshakes gotta go. Once you’ve cut out all this junk food then go look at your daily calories burnt I.e your everyday activities. Believe it or not this is actually the easier one to maintain, so you need to make sure you’re burning more calories than your body requires to maintain weight, the fastest way to actually burn calories is by HIIT and weight lifting however you can start by making small changes such as walking every morning and night starting at maybe 3k in the morning and 3k at night. Start doing more household chores such as cleaning the house and dishes. Once you feel ready it’s gym time! Weightlifting is a bit different for men and women due to testosterone and the whole mess so you’re going to see these guys throwing up these huge weights and it can be quite intimidating but DONT LET IT GET YOU DOWN!!!! Focus on you in there you can find workout plans online easily but for the most part you can follow a simple a push pull legs routine working out 3 times a week and keep up with your walking as it goes on. This is just a short outline on how to really get started on losing weight but most importantly you’ve gotta flip that switch in you that’s says “I want to lose weight, I am going to lose weight”. I believe in you you’ve got this!
@@r3a1itygamezz14 Thank you! This was very helpful
Your story really hit me. It's almost the exact same as mine. I'm stuck in the gaining weight, feeling miserable, lonely, comfort eating routine. Constantly going in and out of different ways to lose weight, on a weekly basing and its only making me gain more weight and feel even more miserable. I've never seen a fitness journey video quite like this one. One that focuses purely on the mental side of things instead of the physical side of things. Seeing the complete 360 in someones state of mind and not just the physical change. This is not only motivating but its inspiring!
This is exactly what i've been searching years for. This is what I needed. I can do this, I can get healthy. Mentally.
Hope you’re doing a bit better now. I feel the exact same after watching this
A easy routine is kb circuit in the morning and 1-3 simple weight lifting exercises at night. Just 1 max set for each. Thats phase 1 for beginners to build the habit.
This week i was able to finally run 2km at 15 minutes. I cried so much of joy and pround of myself. One month ago I wasn't able to walk 2km without getting tired and almost sick, and now I fucking RUN
I am so proud of you! I hope you’re still running now!
how to tell you, you made me realize how sad i am, not happy, lost in my head, i feel bad. I knew it, but I always tried to hide it. I live but I am empty from the inside I live for others I wanted to lose weight for others. I cried several times while watching your video. With your journey and thanks to your words I understood that I had to change my vision of my body from my mind and start to be happy not to go into jeans but to feel good morally. I want to have a goal in my life, I want to be healthy, I want to get out of this depression that sticks to my skin. Thanks for this testimony. i will change and be a happy person. I will come back to you in maybe a few months or a year with my progress. and I will thank you with all my soul, my heart. I am determined and I can do it.
Yousra El Ouahabi you can do it x
You can do it!
You can do it
YOU CAN DO IT❤️❤️
You can do it! Find what drives you in life, find your passions! ❤❤❤
I've seen this video 3 times already... i'm on a weight loss journey and every time I fail or lose my motivation, come back here... You are an inspiration!! Thank you!
Oh my goodness I do the same! Im sort of actively trying to lose weight (ish) Im more trying exercising and hopefully the motivation to lose weight will come haha, but I do come back to this video every time I want to try!!
I am usually a silent watcher but I just wanted to say how amazing your journey is! The smile on your face shines through the screen and is the best motivation anyone could have! Thank you for your amazing vlogs and videos they have been my favourite to watch (especially your vlogs!) xoxo
Emma, in the span of 47 minutes, I have fallen completely in love with you and your story! I am o proud of you, and this has confirmed the journey that I am on as well! I lost 50 lbs in 18 months, and am still striving daily to feel amazing in my body. Thank you for sharing!
So I'm currently going through a really tough time, I'm 18, my mums really unwell and I'm looking after her by myself and I've not been sleeping more than 3 hours everyday while doing (and currently failing) ALevels. My mental health is awful and I'm borderline anorexic. I know we're starting in different physical conditions but I feel like you were in a similar mental place to where I am now.
I really want to get better, I've been fainting a lot, not eating enough and what I do eat is just chocolate.
I'm going to get better. I'm going to start eating a bit more and making myself meals before trying to build muscle. I need to get better so that I can help my mum to get better and get through chemo. I'm at my lowest now but you've sort of given me a wake up call that I've got one chance at life and I should take it.
eve you can do this!!
Do not give up on your life !
You got this, you CAN do it!!❤️
Don’t give up, you are young and have your whole life ahead of you! Be strong!
Be strong eve you got this! Take it day by day and you will surely get there*hugs*
Sorry but you are amazing. I am currently the girl in your "before" photos and I have never felt more inspired. I actually cried for you when you finished your 10k. Well done x
So freaking proud and happy for you, what an incredible journey! :)
You're quite literally glowing! :)
Don't mind me, just tearing up watching you run a 10k!
I can't even run 1k!! Go you!!!! :)

I just started my weight loss journey. Today is literally my first day. I even decided to document my journey on youtube because I have to lose at least 100 lbs. . The guts it takes to be so open and transparent, is insane. You rock!
Lexxi Kay, hello! I hope you’re making improvements.
I hope you’re doing well, congratulations on starting!

I can’t express how proud I am of you and your courage for publishing such a personal video; you are a true inspiration and you can seriously tell how much happier you are in yourself compared to your videos this time last year. Thank you for being so honest and inspiring, seeing your journey has helped me more than anything! 👏🏻💞
I usually skip big parts of videos but not this one! The way you tell your story is amazing. So proud of you
I love this video. When you talked about never sticking with things, I could relate so much. I’ve had the same thing happen where I was obsessed with being “healthy”, and then just stopped. This video is an inspiration for me because I know that being healthy is possible for someone like me. Thank you for this video, I’m so happy you managed to stick with this journey!! ❤️❤️
You are literally the only person other than me that I’ve met that obsesses over something and then the next day couldn’t care less about it. I don’t know why I’m this way, but I’m glad to know I’m not the only one.
ok so I haven't even watched the video yet but im already crying. i just loved watching your journey, like in every single video over the past year and how you've grown as a person and discovered new things. much love to you emma
this is the ONLY transformation video ive watched all the way through. you are so relatable and so easy to stay engaged
When you are talking about your weight being emotional weight , I started to cry because I’ve only just realised the reason I’m not happy with the weight is the reason behind it , I’ve joined slimming world and really trying to get into the gym and work out. My goals is not card how much I weight but to look into the mirror and be happy with how I look and how I feel ! These videos are really inspiring and helpful ❤️❤️
Itslaura I’ve just started slimming world too !! What’s your Instagram and I’ll follow you 😁
Sirocha @lauradebenhamxx
A week ago I discovered of this weight loss plan *2WeightLossFast. Com* from a buddy who following the directions lost practically 18 pounds within only some short days. We started, too; my progress has been fantastic. I caint suggest this program enough.
This is amazing!! What a journey!
Thank you so much guys! Absolutely love your channel :) xxx
Such an inspiration Emma!! For 15 years I have been suffering with depression and ptsd of sexual abuse as a child. And you are right my overweight body reflects that emotional pain. Everyday my body hurts because I have a tense pelvic floor and tensed back all the time. I am 27 but feel like a 60 year old. I am seeing a psychotherapist, hapto-therapist and physiotherapist to try and tackle this once and for all.
5 minutes in and she talks about back handed compliments I've never related to anything more. At 5'11 and never being 'skinny' it hits home a lot. I've started my journey and can't wait to be making my video in a year hah
This is the most thoughtful and emotional fitness journey vid I've ever watched! I'm so proud of you and you are very inspiring! Thanks for being strong and sharing your personal experience.
This sounds like my story so much! I was always overweight as a young girl and was horribly bullied. After high school I began to starve my self and became anorexic.
I met my ex and we had two children and have gone up and down in my weight.
I left their father after 17 years of domestic violence and took my kids and moved in with my mother.
I have just begun a wellness, fitness journey. I have hit 200lbs and I am so so sick of it!! I want to make changes that stick and that are healthy not starving myself! I am going to be 38 on the 21st of January. So my body has changed a lot and it not as easy for me to just drop weight. Thank you for your story and for helping those of us who feel like we are alone!! ❤❤Bless you!
Honestly this is so inspiring, I’ve never watched a fitness journey that’s resonated with me so much! Especially the goal setting part, it’s so true that focussing on looking a certain way or being a certain weight isnt enough to motivate me! You should be so proud of yourself! ❤️ This has made me so motivated to change my life for the better ❤️❤️
Coming back here 4 years later for some inspiration to get back on my fitness journey ❤
I’m literally crying with you. You’re so
freaking inspirational. So much love 💕
The way you talk about emotional weight is actually amazing and really hit home. Absolutely love that you mentioned how weight gain is a direct manifestation of how you were feeling (sad, depressed) depicted on your body. I 100% felt that. So much of weight loss comes down to self love. ❤️
I’m trying to loose weight for my wedding in May, your videos have given me so much motivation! You’ve honestly been my inspiration these past few months. Thankyou so much! ❤️
This video just came on when I. woke up and I. said, "I'm not going to sit here and listen to someone talk for 45 minutes" and 45 minutes later and I'm still here and now you're not getting rid of me because I'm not leaving. You have a new subscriber and I love you. God sent you to me to tell me to start eating more and incorporate strength training NOW! Thank you for that! Gotta go binge watch your videos now. 😊 God Bless You, you're not busy beautiful on the outside, it's evident that you're a beautiful soul!
❤️oh emma. I’ve watched you for years and I don’t know you but it feels like I’m watching a friend and I couldn’t be more proud. I welled up seeing you cross the line at the 10k. I’ve never been into fitness my self but I’ve never been overweight. I gained weight over the last few years only a tiny bit like my arms were a bit soft and my double chin was a bit more noticeable than I would like but then I’ve recently gone vegan(except chocolate) and now I’ve lost weight again. At first I felt good but now I realise I actually want to be strong. I can’t afford the gym and school tires me and makes me feel like I don’t have time. But I’m really gonna try I need it for my head. My grandad died five months ago and it’s only getting harder. I need something to feel proud of. Good luck with everything emma 😊 you’re amazing. I can’t wait to see you get stronger and stronger x
Hi! I've read the whole text and I recommend you to do some TH-cam routines as substitute for the gym. That's what me and a lot of people I know have done and I totally recommend it, specially because is free and you can do it anywhere you want. Hopefully this will help you. :D
I’m only halfway through this video and already it’s the best weight-loss video I’ve seen in 6 years.
Marga Banaga she also has a very good video on TH-cam.
This is one of the best weight loss journey videos I have watched! Sometimes I don’t even make it 10 minutes into a video, easily watched this entire video. Congrats on your successful journey!
I have to say, I have watched a lot of weight loss journey videos, but this has been one of the most inspiring. I really appreciate how you took your time and broke down everything you did. It was really informative and also motivating. Just goes to show, small changes snow ball into life altering transformations. Love this so much! 💕
I myself lost about 100 pounds!
It's always inspiring and makes me happy, to see people achieving success in their fitness journey! 😀
can you give me some tips that arent talked about as much? in the beginning of my journey at the moment!! 3 days in
The fact that this is somewhat recent motivates me even more
This honestly helped me so much knowing someone has went through the same experiences I’m going through now thank you so much Emma you have really inspired me x
I have never had a story impact me as much as yours has, I’ve been making a conscious effort over the past month to get ‘healthy’, I’ve abandoned the notion of getting skinny, fitting into a size 8 again... I’m 52 and a Gramma of 2, I just want to be healthy. I don’t want to be that Women who sits in the couch eats unhealthy junk food and be totally unmotivated. Thanks for sharing, I hope to have my own story someday, and I can inspire others like me. Hugs 🤗 💞😉
This is honestly so inspiring! I have always struggled with my weight. Been going to the gym on and off for 5 years and can't stick to it. I've had PTs and still struggle. I piled on 2 stone in 2018 in my previous job and I was at my heaviest. Between January - April 2019 I lost a stone and since then I haven't been able to shift any more weight. I'm now in a more physical job which keeps me somewhat fit but as you said, I'm using more energy so I eat more. I get home, eat again and just go to bed. I to have always binge ate and eat when I'm bored and comfort eat 😪 I have now, quit the gym AGAIN because I've lost all motivation and I can't seem to get it back 😔 I don't know how you do it and wish I had your motivation. You look unbelievable!
Hearing you talk about your struggles with an obsessive personality and how it effected your relationship with being healthy is INCREDIBLY similar to what I am going through right now. Thank you for sharing and giving me hope I can overcome my mind❤️
This is the one of the most refreshing fitness journey videos I’ve seen. I absolutely love your attitude towards mental and physical health. There is so much toxic weight loss information online but this is actually real, healthy, and super motivational!!! This is a REAL inspiration. Keep being amazing girl💗
You absolutely crushed it! I can’t believe the progress you made in only a year! Congratulations on all of your hard work. I, myself, am only 4 weeks in to my weight loss journey, and just started incorporating fitness this week. After my trauma, as I recovered, I started to love food again and gained an unhealthy amount of weight in a very short period. I can’t wait to see how far I’ll go!
Emma, you are amazing and you are so inspiring! I started healthier eating on 23rd January, so far lost 8.5lb, and want to start incorporating some exercise. Something I am fearful off as I know I cant run etc currently, so I am going to start small. I am going to make it my goal to build up to be able to do a park run in the summer. Love the idea of setting non weight related goals, I want to feel that pride when I can say I have managed to run 3k! You have inspired me, keep up the good work!
I am crying so much watching this, because I’ve never watched a weight loss video so inspiring and truly relatable in every way. Thank you so much. I’ve recently just started my fitness journey myself and this video has just SOLIDIFIED it into my life and will continue to inspire me for years to come. I hope to get to where you are someday, not just physically but mostly mentally. Thank you and God Bless you!!
This is one of the most positive, healthy weight loss videos I’ve ever seen! Your attitude is amazing and your approach is really inspiring. It’ll last because you’ve focussed on the important things regarding your health and seen the weight loss as a side effect and you can tell you’re totally in that healthy mindset now. Well done Emma ⭐️❤️
Thank you so much, that means a lot xxx
It’s okay to say eating right and being healthy is a good thing and something everyone should do.
Emma, you’re such a unique person. Such a complex, developing and open-minded person. From the moment I found you (Effy makeup tutorial hehe) you’ve been always interesting to watch and to listen to. Thank you so so much for being there and translating your experience to us ❤️
I love how you’re so positive about losing weight. You don’t suggest being really strict on calories, that’s so refreshing.
It shouldn't matter - you're lovely when you're less fit and fatter. HOWEVER, no denying that it's quite amazing to see how we view the lean, fit person differently. We have a whole different idea of who they are, yet inside you're exactly the same person. I think it's awesome to have a project - something to throw yourself into, work hard and be rewarded with something you carry around with you everywhere you go! The reality is that whatever we say we DO respond to fit, lean people more positively and we DO FEEL better when we're fit and lean. Also, research shows over and over that we're much healthier when we're in great shape. Keep hold of it for the rest of your life xx
I’ve been following you since 2015 and I’m honestly so so so proud of you, I’m genuinely happy to see you like this
I am so excited for this. You have been inspiring to me for months now and you are so happy and uplifting. You've post this at a time I'm feeling really awful and I'm so ready for this to be the kick I need.
Thankyou for being you Emma xx
Edit: watched this twice now cause it's just so good😍
I was listening my whole life. But the difference was that I was raised in a family where the mental problems are for the weak and there is nothing wrong with me. Every time I was trying to reach for a help I was getting this "you are super sensitive and it is not the way you see it". I was having so many problems without someone to hear me. Before less than 1year I have moved out in a different coutry without parents, all alone. And then I just saw myself as a beautiful girl in the mirror. The past months I was working to heal my wounds, my mental health but I didnt know how to start. To be honest, I am still in the beginning. But I hired a personal nutrituinist(sry idk how to write this word) and today is my first day when I will do a lifting workout. I hope all of you are healing yourself and you lovely Emma, be blessed and thank you for sharing your story with us :)
Rumina Egova that’s gaslighting. *You are strong for moving forward!* 💕
I was a Nutritional Sciences major for years, and of all the weight loss information that's out there today, you probably just gave the best explanation of healthy habit lifestyle changes I've ever heard, and your story is incredibly encouraging! Thank you for sharing your beautiful story, for real.
Lately I’ve been struggling again with my body image and disordered eating and this video helped me so much. To see you make this change in a healthy way and seeing it as a goal for a certain thing not just to be skinny made me cry and feel so much better.
Also, couldn’t help but keep looking at the “cock” sign in the corner of the room, definitely added some accidental light heartedness to the video 😅
HAHAH I know. Love that for me xx

Very easy weight loss tips please watching raboninco.com/F6Y4
I've been meaning to watch this for a year now, but only just felt stable enough to watch this. Thank you so much for being so open and honest about it, cannot explain how much it meant to hear someone openly talking about things I have also struggled with. Thanks for being an incredibly real inspiration for me right now! ❤️❤️❤️
Emma I'm so proud of you!! I've just started running weekly 5k's with my dad and eating much healthier and if I can achieve even half of what you have I'll be so happy!
This brought tears to my eyes, this was the best weight loss video I’ve seen. You go girl, that was amazing x
Had to quip in and just say I love your sports bra!! love the little extra cheekiness and empowering pattern omg you look bomb in it! Also, I am so happy you're happy and in a good space mentally, it literally means everything and from someone who knows the struggle I am so proud of you and it makes me even more eager to get there myself. Thank you for telling your story! xo
So this video had me crying the whole time. Everything you said struck a cord with me big time. When you said you wanted to get rid of the emotional weight because you see it every day. I went from a size 8/10 to a 18 over the course of 7 years and I have maintained that gross weight for 3 years. I’m depressed and massively over weight and I need to make a change big time. I’m going to implement a lot of the things you said. I’m going to use this lock down to get my head in the right place. Thank you for being such an inspiration xx
Good luck, you got this 💪🏻💪🏻
this is the most positive video I've seen about fittness/"weightloss" I've ever seen
I cried and you've helped inspire me!! I've started my weight loss journey only a couple days ago and I'm so ready to feel good about myself and not hate how I feel and look. Thank you for sharing!!!
Emma, I’ve been subscribed to you forever now.. and I just want to say this video is by far my fav of yours. I’m a big girl myself and I related soooo hard to everything you said. I loved all your tips and I’d honestly love to see more fitness/inspo from you. Maybe where to start in the gym/eating when you first start out? Maybe a video with tips for beginners? Just as a thought! Thank you so much for this video.
I found your channel when trying to find ‘bigger girl’ clothing hauls to see what would fit my new body (I put a lot of weight in during pregnancy and kept it on) and you gave me so much confidence. But you’ve also been the only person that has admitted that you can preach body positivity while being bigger, while appreciating that you also need to be mentally healthy which you realised you weren’t being. Losing this weight doesn’t mean you hated your body, it was about realising you weren’t mentally healthy and mentally strong. Your journey is honestly so inspiring. I’ve not changed my lifestyle because I thought it would mean I was going back on me saying I don’t mind being a bigger girl now, but I’m so unhealthy that I am going to be following your tips for the physical and mental help rather than focusing on weight loss numbers ❤️
This is SO inspiring! Literally got chills when you said that you climbed Machu Picchu. Thank you so much for sharing your journey, I started mine last week 😊
The hair...the makeup...the nails...the advice... you are just amazing!
I’m so proud of you Emma! You inspired me to start going to the gym and exercising more! Congrats on your journey xx
I just want you to know I’ve never related to anything more and this has really resounded with me and helped me already change the way I think and I’ve been to a PT twice and have such a great relationship with him. I have always been a comfort eater and have went through a lot of emotional trauma in my life so have yoyo’d with my weight a lot since my teenage years even though I was very active as a child. This has given me so much inspiration to go back to thriving with fitness and hopefully in a year I can have similar results as someone that’s a similar weight and body composition to where you started.
Amazing Emma! You look insane x
Watching this makes me super happy! I've been watching a fair amount of transformation videos over the past 5 weeks to keep motivating myself on my fitness journey. I've been doing plenty of research on becoming more fit and healthy, and this video inspires me so much because it is someone actually putting into action small changes over a long period of time. It's so refreshing and motivating to see someone in it for the long haul, rather than quick fixes that don't help in the long run. Thank you for this video x
The part you said about doing something everyday for years and loving it and the one day you just say no.more is soooo me
I did not expect to watch the full 50 minutes but I did! Never watched a video of yours before, just came up on my recommended. Honestly this video has really resonated with me and I’m very very similar to your starting point. It’s inspiring to see you go from the position I’m at now to where you are now. Gives me a lot of hope. Thank you
“Real growth starts when you’re tired of your own shit.” That keeps me going!
Watching this video made me tear up a little, not because it was sad but because everything you were saying about your personal relationship with your body, mind, health, and fitness was all just very relatable to my life and the current journey I'm on so it really hit deep. Currently I'm on a fitness journey myself, my goal is to lose weight and build muscle, but my main goal that keeps me going is to overcome the emotional baggage that has always held me back as I grew up. I wanna be able to heal, love, and piece myself back together through this journey.
So far, I've lost 53 lbs and I still have some more to go, but besides the number, the way I carry myself now is so much healthier than before. I feel beyond proud and happy for myself on the inside because this kind of achievement could never be represented through a number. Slowly, but surely I'll get there. Hearing your story I was able to reconfirm this thought/resolve of mine, the belief I know I have in myself, so thank you.
So inspirational, I’d lost all motivation with my fitness journey and you’ve sparked some excitement for exercising back into me!! So lovely to see you looking and feeling so strong! 💪🏽💜
This video made me CRY. Thank you for talking about the mental aspect of body image and giving me an amazing example to follow ♥️♥️♥️
Just seen this video and took me to 3/4 the way through to realise u started on 25th February 2019 and I started slimming world on the 25th february 2020. Must be something about that date. I can only dream of achieving what you have in a year you've done bloody amazing
I am watching this 2022! I’m 36 weeks pregnant and so ready to get into the gym. This intro ALONE is so motivating & inspiring. Can’t wait to the watch this when I’m cleared to be able to go to the gym. I’ve watched this years ago, but I love your video. Thank you
You’re incredible, definitely a massive inspiration and I’m so proud of your journey, beautiful inside and out ❤️
Wow you are so incredible. I have never watched someone as hard working, determined and yet compassionate and kind like you. Im so happy I have found your channel!
This has given me more motivation to better myself, I have been thinking about going to the gym for a long time. I just want to be fitter and have more strength and you have made me want to do it more. THANK YOU
I don't think I've ever related to someone more in so many ways. With you saying how flippant you were with your motivation/interests, your disordered eating in your past, holding onto emotional weight... I've been starting to view my body and health in general very different lately and focus more on feeling good rather than looking a certain way or weighing a certain amount, and this video just helped me grasp so many things. Thank you so much for making this.
I’ve literally just started a similar journey. I’m so glad I stumbled across your video it’s been really helpful and inspiring. Thank you for being honest about your journey to fitness. I’ll definitely be subscribing xx
The intro was beyond beautiful, Congrats good job! This made me cry out of joy.
I think this is the most inspirational and motivational transformation I've ever seen. I'm more proud of your transformation than my own 😅 well done girl!
This is the only video like this I have been able to finish. I loved it. I’m 13 and think I should be healthier but needed the inspiration. Thank you!
When she said she used to purge it was like a punch to my stomach. I had absolutely no clue that someone who I’ve watched for years struggled with the same things as I did. Thanks so much for this video Emma. It’s incredible.
I've never been so proud of someone I don't know before! Not only do you look amazing but you're in a better place mentally which is so important!
Thanks for the video. You're such an inspiration xxxx
So proud of you Girl🍓. My heart is full.✅ Small steps,✅consistency, ✅patience and✅ hard work.
💎
This video might be long but it is genuinely one of the nicest fitness transofrmation ones out there. There is a lot to relate to for those of us who are just embarking on this journey and a lot of hope seeing how you have come out on the other side. Much love!
You’ve inspired me so much to become a healthier version of myself. Would love a video about your gym clothes💗
Don’t be sad about those pictures. You learned something, you learned endurance, self-discipline and that is of much value. Great job and glad you also focused on strength!! 💛
