It’s hard to watch these after years because she went from coming across as confident and on the right track to desperate with her monthly challenges, where she stopped giving updates on how SHE did. She goes on and on with advice but many have advised her over the years to work with a nutritionist vs trying every fad and every tweak to address what has now clearly become desperation. I see the desperation because I’ve been there and know it takes a focus on your self talk, mindset, etc to move beyond it and start really taking care of yourself vs beating yourself up or trying the next desperate thing. I’m not a close follower but from comments in the past I get the sense that she doesn’t engage with any of her followers, just spouts stuff in the videos and goes back to doing her thing. Something is going on with what appears to be a disconnect with self and others. I hope she finds her way but this is no longer inspiring except as a reminder not to get sucked into desperation
She seemed to do well when she was doing a plan with a friend, she actually had accountability!!! I think she needs that and I think she likes the friendly competition of it too. I’m not sure why she gives us advice or tips but not updates. Advice and tips are well received as someone is seeing results or already in maintenance.
Absolutely perfectly said! And no, she doesn’t engage with her followers at all. It’s just very robotic and I can’t imagine anything about her is inspiring to anybody.. it’s very fake and very false. And whenever one of her followers calls, the people who comment negative things cockroaches and then it’s only then that she responds and supports their comments. Of course their fools and they’re following a fool so you can’t really expect anything else.
Well, let’s not encourage her to do lives because she’ll just be in it for super chats and it will just be more fake BS and we don’t really need to encourage that and I feel bad for the other people who believed her and get sucked into her
Some of these comments are so condescending and passive aggressive. You can’t look at someone on TH-cam, think you know them and make judgments about their progress. There are all different kinds of progress and success, much of which you can’t see with your eyes. If you care about Jess, don’t give her unsolicited advice about what she should or shouldn’t do. People do not grow that way. She gets to figure it out her own way and it has nothing to do with anyone else. If it isn’t helpful to you, step off. Jess, thank you for your joy, positive and HONEST message. I love that you are not telling us what do. I never feel condescended to by your videos. But I do feel encouraged that not being perfect is part of the journey. It’s not all or nothing. Sisterhood!
I was Jess for 45 years. If I had not started listening to others who were successful in losing a large amount of weight without drugs or surgery and then keeping the weight off I would have never been successful myself in this journey. There is NO need for her to waist a big part of her life trying to figure this out on her own which she may never do. I pray she is successful in her journey but after watching her video's for 5 years now She has a lot to learn before she will be successful long term. It was sad to watch her reach her goal and then within a week going off the rails and never getting back on track. It was like I have reached my goal now so my journey is over which is false her journey was just beginning for maintenance is part of the journey also. Weight loss was not hard once I figured it out and it is not about exercise, calories, or portion control. It is about eating correctly 100 percent of the time getting the proper nutrition which will control your hunger and if you are not hungry or have cravings the journey is easy. Remember You are NOT what you eat but you are what you can ABSORB!!! LET THY FOOD BE THY MEDICINE AND THY MEDICINE BE THY FOOD. Good Luck.
This is it. I've struggled since 2018. Now I'm doing so well. I admitted I had an addiction to carbs and wine. Now I'm choosing health over food. Food is plain and simple . Protein, lots of good fats and some vegetables. Not excessive training, but fun exercise, aqua, yoga, beach walks 3 times a week. And this is my prescription. For life. It's not about the weight. It's an investment into my longevity. I don't care if I don't eat at the party, drink at the gathering. I have fun being the best version of myself. I feel good, look gorgeous and will remain thus way. Last year was my turning point. I knew it all. But it was time to just knuckle down and let go of the crippling addiction. It's not restriction......what is better than a ribeye, a bunch of shrimp, butter and avo? Not all the beer or pasta in the world. Living the life and loving it. Fasting is my friend again and for the first time, I'm doing it properly. How liberating So knowledge is only as empowering as we activate it
@meatymama-lh7pnIsn't the carnivore lifestyle liberating!? I'm also a carb addict and after 2 months of carnivore, I don't crave carbs!! I feel fantastic! My good health is very important to me now that I'm 68 and retired. I'm focused on my healthy lifestyle instead of dieting. I don't care how long it takes for me to lose these last 20-25#. I'm enjoying the journey along the way and finally HEALING my mind & body.
You have so many followers that count on your journey, give you kudos, support you but all I see is excuses.... for years! I go for months or over a year see you pop up and its the same old story. Its so sad because you keep gaining and losing and doing this chanel obviously for money. Be true to yourself and audience and leave and figure it out. It will show people you are not in it for the money but to truly get healthy and focus on yourself. I have struggled with weight for years and had many successes and failures but I wouldnt keep a channel going doing the same thing over and over giving people advice. Or keep it up get on the scale, keep your word if you announce challenges and show it ALLon line and be transparent. You say be honest with yourself, then show it all and quit making excuses its hard to see the same spiraling 5 years later. Best of luck with your continued journey.
I unsubscribed a while ago and I thought I would just check in and see how she was doing. She looks the same. No weight loss since I unsubscribed a while ago. Maybe I’ll check in around 6 months. Maybe….
Hi. I started following you back when you were so focused on your health and diet. You inspired me and together we both got close to goal. You just need to get back to the basics. 20 gross carbs a day and no more. You can rationalize any way you want but you need to want this as bad as you did in the beginning when everything was new. There is really no such thing as keto bread and a lot of the recipes have tons of hidden no-no’s. I think you are a great person and I want the best for you. Maybe that includes a different diet you can get excited about again. Where there’s a will there’s a way. 😃
I agree that she was motivated in the beginning. She ate real low carb food back then and the weight came off. Once she started getting sponsers and eating fake food i.e. processed keto food, keto bread etc. she lost her way. I believe she's only still doing the channel for the money.
Saw this today , I'm sure we can relate. Been there. If you’re serious, about changing your life, you’ll find a way. Otherwise , you’ll find an excuse!
You go, girl. You and your dad are rock stars. I had gained 20 pounds the last two years. I'm a two time cancer survivor and will be 70 next week. I'm committed to adf for the rest of my life.
As i'm reading most of the comments, i see a lot of judgment. Ppl, everyone has a story. We only know what she's telling us. I believe she's going through much more. Everyone is different. Just because she's not a size 5 in 5 years doesn't give you the right to talk negatively about her. Until you've walked a mile in her shoes, i would suggest you keep your opinions to yourself. Yes. She may be doing it for the money. What's wrong with that? Given the opportunity, you probably would, too. Have a good day.
Jess, I've been on this boat with you for the 5 years. This hard journey is life long! We just gotta keep pushing! I'm not keto anymore cause it caused me to yo-yo. I had to realize I love fries! Lol! But I don't mind tracking so I've decided to track and have some carbs so mentally I'm no longer on or off. I'm always on even if I ate fries. You'll find your groove cause only you know what you need. Just know that the journey is something to be proud of, cause it never ends. Keep doing you no matter what the haters may comment.
My “Happy Scale app has been tracking my weight loss journey for Mar 2019. So far I have lost 10 lbs of the 25 I had left when I joined. My final push has opened up an awesome way for me to lose weight OMAD. It took 30 days of pushing and losing 1.2 lbs per week but I am finally dropping again! I keep carbs low - carnivore-lite. Been carnivore focused for almost 8 months.
Hi Jess- please just stop. Cut it off for now. Figure out where you’re going, what you’re wanting to really do. THEN…..come back on line , tell us, motivate us, be honest with us. We’re all right here with you. You’ve got a great, motivating spirit, but you gotta be real, pal. ♥️
I just checked in after a long absence from this channel. Omg…she’s the same. I have to agree with you on this one. I just don’t understand what she’s doing. She’s still really struggling in my opinion. Oh well….
I do wish she would shit or get off the proverbial pot……and, yes, she’s doing this for the money. Only thing that changes is her hair. When I first started watching, it was when she had gained some of the weight and she shared her workouts and amazing tips. It would be so healthy for her if she could take a break and figure this out for her life…her girls need a healthy momma. Maybe she should check into Elizabeth Benton and her Primal Potential podcast.
Still very heavy after 5 years and countless bs videos. As someone who lost 110 pounds and has maintained their weight for years between between 120 and 125. Have to say this is just the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever seen. Call me a hater if you want but I’m a skinny and healthy one.💕 For anyone that says she inspires you. I would take a really good hard look at what about her could possibly inspire you except to gain weight.
Thanks Jess, I need these tips! My highest weight 330, currently 260! I so agree with everything you said. My nemesis is thinking I will never get to goal weight. I battle with myself daily, to just throw in the towel. Thanks for the insight, I need to stop thinking about NOW and focus on what I want MOST! This is my 3rd year doing keto!
If you want additional information, check out Elizabeth Benton on her podcast “Primal Potential” and/or check out her book, “Chasing cupcakes”. I’m only affiliated with her through her books and podcast….no money gained for sharing her info…just my honest opinion
Congratuations on hitting 5 years on your journey Jess. Your channel was the first one I came across. I'm struggling with the new hip once that is healed the weight should be coming off again when I can start walking again. I hope we can get together this Summer. It was so much fun meeting your Mom and Dad. Your the best and amazing young lady!
Wait - what? I’m so confused - what happened to February challenge ? How are your changes going ? How’s the new macros ? That would help motivate I think.
@@Chloe-wi5ut I know, I’d rather just have an update - if this month isn’t going that well or if she’s finding it hard, that’s OK and that’s realistic, but I just wish she would be honest about that even if she can’t do a video every week. I don’t mind that it’s taking five years. She says she’s happy and I think that’s great but does that mean she’s reaching her goals or not? It’s a day to day struggle and I am not healthier than she is, but I guess that’s why I watch, to do “together”. So I’m not sure where she’s at this week hence the confusion.
@@julieswhirled9532 It's very frustrating as many of us have invested our time into this, as well. She doesn't address the obvious. The month earlier she said she was going to do keto. Then, she completely ignored the February challenge. She is all over the place, up and down.. It's perfectly understandable if she goes off the rails. We all do. But, giving tips on discipline? C'mon...Does she even remember what she talks about the month earlier? Is she even in this journey anymore?
@@fitnessgal ya I think she said Keto and then later she said she was doing 180 G protein and 90 g carbs - which doesn’t seem keto at all. I’m just doing my own plan (strict keto) but trying to follow her and I’m constantly confused. Ultimately she doesn’t seem to need TH-cam income or sponsors so I wouldn’t count on consistent videos maybe…
Great Video Jess ! So kind of you to take the time and all of your honesty on your journey . I've been following you for a few yrs now and have also had struggles along my weight loss journey and as the same as you I have not given up !!! I think that's the key....is to keep trying! So thank you for doing your videos ...they do help others along for the same ride !!!! Love you ❤️
Just saw this on the Eat, Move Rest channel I follow and feel it resonates with so many and can relate to more than weight-loss "If you wait until you're ready, you'll be waiting the rest of your life."
@@davidadcock3382I don't think she is sticking to one plan long enough. Lately she is all over the place. When she followed Keto she succeeded. She seems to want a quick fix. We all know it's harder the second time around, even harder the third, fourth and fifth etc
Jess are you happier now than you were at 180 ish pounds ? If so then why ulcerate over trying to lose anymore ? Just be happy. We all know maintaining a certain weight is a lifelong commitment , it never ends at the target weight. Is being a certain weight worth it? For some yes, it's the ultimate goal. Like you say, you do you. Just be Happy
@@Lisa-wp1ff I mean that’s the thing - it’s her channel, she has tons of subscribers, she’s probably making money no matter what she says. My point is that I wish she would state her intentions, maintaining, struggling, losing, whatever it is. And yes stay accountable whether it’s us audience or not.
I wish you could work with the girls from Luminü. You really have made a lot of progress, and I followed you and lost quite a bit of weight with you as well. But I crashed and burned because ultimately keto is restrictive and causes a deprivation mindset. I have a rule to not pay for diets anymore, and I found Luminü and never looked back. Their weight loss plan is so reasonable and livable and there's no deprivation or restriction. I'm losing weight slowly but steadily. Wishing you luck and hoping you find what works for you
Your absolutely precious, I appreciate every hurdle and win that you have shared with the world. Real people living real life is hard to find. Thank you for showing me that the struggle is real and the goals can be achieved.
There’s no shame in seeking expert help for weight loss. Talk to your doctor about the glp1 medications or even bariatric surgery. You’re a good candidate for both. Talk to your cardiologist about fasting and your cardiomyopathy, IF or ADF may help
Someone must have deleted my comment about the negative effects of yo-yo dieting for 5 years. But this is a well researched and documented fact that constant weight loss/regain increases long term weight increases, increases risk of Diabetes, and cardiovascular disease (she has a documented heart disease made worse by her obesity). She needs expert help and no more TH-cam advice.
I think you love the idea of a high protein low carb meal but you keep getting out of track. You need to stop the madness and quit all diet thinking. What about 3 balanced meals a day with a small deficit and just enjoy your workouts. The diets will keep you failing and starting over. Trust me, I’ve been there. Also, if you are the happiest now maybe you don’t need to lose anymore. Maintain and enjoy your life. Best of luck.
She doesn’t need 3 meals, she has insulin resistance, she needs insulin as low as possible so that the body is forced to burn body fat for fuel. She needs 2MAD at most, but ultimately therapeutic fasting protocols. Low insulin only happens with certain types of foods and if you don’t eat at all.
She’s not happy at all, and you can clearly see that again more of. I have told her time after time forget dieting, it’s not even a diet. It should just be a life change and a new way of living and eating and just common sense but then again, if she did that where the videos that go along with that she always feels like she has to have a hook and an angle and some new beast to feed her followers..
You are absolutely right! I've done what Jesse has done and NEVER could get rid of the food cravings and the weight yo-yoed. (That's how addiction works.) As soon as I cut out EVERYTHING except BEEF, WATER, SALT, the cravings left and I eventually settled into a very satisfying OMAD. I am not hungry and my energy is through the roof. I love Jesse and can relate to her struggle, but it took me YEARS to overcome the life-long brain washing of the food pyramid pushed by fake food corps and the false belief that my addictive self could handle 20 carbs. What a joke! As long as we keep sneaking in those carbs, the cravings and weight will stick around. Just cut them ALL out. We could go the rest of our lives without another carb. HOWEVER, we Do need the protein, fat, water and salt. Jesse, PLEASE. Just do a 30-day ' elimination diet challenge' for yourself. Just go lion diet or BBB&E. My prediction is that you will drop that inflammation quickly and feel so much better, that you will go another 30 days. And another. Also, please stop pushing LMNT. That stuff (for some people . . . [me]) will push your blood pressure through the roof. As long as I stick with lion diet (replete with Redmond REAL SALT), my blood pressure is consistently normal -- along with normalized BMI, Glucose, Ketones, etc. My favorite saying is "Hey vegan. I ate the thing that eats your salad. You're welcome!" ; D Please research Dr. Chaffee, Dr. Berry, Dr. Shawn Baker, HomeSteadHow, Carnivore Soldier (fellow Texan), Ferrigno Freedom. You can thank me later. God bless you, Jess.
Do NOT get Barriatric surgery ! You mentioned it as an option, once. I have a feeling that you are considering it. Please don't. Keep doing what works for you ,like you did in the beginning.Your precious family needs you,happy & healthy. Your viewers love you & need you ❤
Jess please get a professional to help assist you with weight loss :( I've been watching for some years. My heart breaks you haven't made it to Maintenace. It's not a marathon for sure slow and steady wins the race, but I can't imagine the fad diets are any healthier.
Life is always ups and downs. You’re such and inspiration of not looking back and move forward. You got me to do push ups.😂 That’s amazing! Since you’re in Texas…Will you be attending “Hack you Health” conference in Austin at the end of May?
Hi Jess - I started watching I guess 5 years ago. Wow, how time flies. You are a trooper! I've struggled with my weight my entire life. I'm close to 60 now and wish I hadn't spent so much time worrying about my weight. In my twenties, I was 20 lbs overweight, and 40 years later I've dieted my way up to 6o lbs overweight.
This sounds like the Jess I started following 5 years ago. I missed you girl Im proud of you and your journey and still following ❤struggles are hard for all of us its a lifestyle not a diet it's only a diet when you give up ❤
This is the best video! It’s very motivational. The part about self discipline or thinking it forward and making the choices for our better selves and better health is spot on. Thanks for this!
I absolutely love that you never give up. This is real life for so many of us
It’s hard to watch these after years because she went from coming across as confident and on the right track to desperate with her monthly challenges, where she stopped giving updates on how SHE did. She goes on and on with advice but many have advised her over the years to work with a nutritionist vs trying every fad and every tweak to address what has now clearly become desperation. I see the desperation because I’ve been there and know it takes a focus on your self talk, mindset, etc to move beyond it and start really taking care of yourself vs beating yourself up or trying the next desperate thing.

Something is going on with what appears to be a disconnect with self and others. I hope she finds her way but this is no longer inspiring except as a reminder not to get sucked into desperation
She's definitely not in to it anymore. Says she's happier than she's ever been but isn't that what all overweight people say? It's called denial
She seemed to do well when she was doing a plan with a friend, she actually had accountability!!! I think she needs that and I think she likes the friendly competition of it too. I’m not sure why she gives us advice or tips but not updates. Advice and tips are well received as someone is seeing results or already in maintenance.
You’re right about engaging with followers- such a good question - why doesn’t she do lives, etc?
Absolutely perfectly said! And no, she doesn’t engage with her followers at all. It’s just very robotic and I can’t imagine anything about her is inspiring to anybody.. it’s very fake and very false. And whenever one of her followers calls, the people who comment negative things cockroaches and then it’s only then that she responds and supports their comments.

@meatymama-lh7pnthank you. It helps to get out of denial
Yes!
Im done watching.

Havent watched a video of yours in awhile I see things havent changed and ur xontent is just boring talking.

DONT GIVE UP 💪
Wait - what? I’m so confused - what happened to February challenge ? How are your changes going ? How’s the new macros ? That would help motivate I think.
She's all over he place....
She needs new dialogue. If you go back to her videos from 2023, 2022 and 2021, she gives the very same speech.
@@Chloe-wi5ut I know, I’d rather just have an update - if this month isn’t going that well or if she’s finding it hard, that’s OK and that’s realistic, but I just wish she would be honest about that even if she can’t do a video every week. I don’t mind that it’s taking five years. She says she’s happy and I think that’s great but does that mean she’s reaching her goals or not? It’s a day to day struggle and I am not healthier than she is, but I guess that’s why I watch, to do “together”. So I’m not sure where she’s at this week hence the confusion.
@@julieswhirled9532 It's very frustrating as many of us have invested our time into this, as well. She doesn't address the obvious. The month earlier she said she was going to do keto. Then, she completely ignored the February challenge. She is all over the place, up and down.. It's perfectly understandable if she goes off the rails. We all do. But, giving tips on discipline? C'mon...Does she even remember what she talks about the month earlier? Is she even in this journey anymore?
@@fitnessgal ya I think she said Keto and then later she said she was doing 180 G protein and 90 g carbs - which doesn’t seem keto at all. I’m just doing my own plan (strict keto) but trying to follow her and I’m constantly confused. Ultimately she doesn’t seem to need TH-cam income or sponsors so I wouldn’t count on consistent videos maybe…
Missed you! Good for you to continue on this journey. It is a tough one.
Thanks, Jess.i was worried about not hearing from you for a while. Take care.
Great Video Jess ! So kind of you to take the time and all of your honesty on your journey . I've been following you for a few yrs now and have also had struggles along my weight loss journey and as the same as you I have not given up !!! I think that's the key....is to keep trying! So thank you for doing your videos ...they do help others along for the same ride !!!! Love you ❤️
Just saw this on the Eat, Move Rest channel I follow and feel it resonates with so many and can relate to more than weight-loss
"If you wait until you're ready, you'll be waiting the rest of your life."
Thanks for being real, Jess. We can all relate. Have a blessed week 💜🙏✌️🎶🌞
The best way to learn is through trial and failures.
Do you think she is repeating the same failures over and over?
@davidadcock3382 it's not my job to judge people and she is a lot better now than 5 yrs ago. Got to look at the positive side of it
It was not a judgement question but an observation question!!`@@alansawesomeketoworld4612
@@davidadcock3382 YES!
@@davidadcock3382I don't think she is sticking to one plan long enough. Lately she is all over the place. When she followed Keto she succeeded. She seems to want a quick fix. We all know it's harder the second time around, even harder the third, fourth and fifth etc
I found you about 3 years ago! Keep on keeping on 🎉❤
Five years! You and I started at the same time! It’s a tough journey sometimes
Great to see you Jess❤
Jess are you happier now than you were at 180 ish pounds ? If so then why ulcerate over trying to lose anymore ? Just be happy. We all know maintaining a certain weight is a lifelong commitment , it never ends at the target weight. Is being a certain weight worth it? For some yes, it's the ultimate goal. Like you say, you do you. Just be Happy
Good questions - maybe this is her plan, just maintaining. That’s ok.
@@julieswhirled9532to maintain you have to be accountable and true to yourself .Sadly she hasn't been able to do that yet .
@@Lisa-wp1ff I mean that’s the thing - it’s her channel, she has tons of subscribers, she’s probably making money no matter what she says. My point is that I wish she would state her intentions, maintaining, struggling, losing, whatever it is. And yes stay accountable whether it’s us audience or not.
I wish you could work with the girls from Luminü. You really have made a lot of progress, and I followed you and lost quite a bit of weight with you as well. But I crashed and burned because ultimately keto is restrictive and causes a deprivation mindset. I have a rule to not pay for diets anymore, and I found Luminü and never looked back. Their weight loss plan is so reasonable and livable and there's no deprivation or restriction. I'm losing weight slowly but steadily. Wishing you luck and hoping you find what works for you
Your absolutely precious, I appreciate every hurdle and win that you have shared with the world. Real people living real life is hard to find. Thank you for showing me that the struggle is real and the goals can be achieved.
Do keto. Keep carbs at 20 or below TOTAL not net. Eat nothing that is processed…including “keto” bars, shakes etc. I promise you will be successful
There’s no shame in seeking expert help for weight loss. Talk to your doctor about the glp1 medications or even bariatric surgery. You’re a good candidate for both. Talk to your cardiologist about fasting and your cardiomyopathy, IF or ADF may help
@meatymama-lh7pn 5 years of yo-yo dieting has done her more harm that any medication or surgery could have done in the same 5 years.
Someone must have deleted my comment about the negative effects of yo-yo dieting for 5 years. But this is a well researched and documented fact that constant weight loss/regain increases long term weight increases, increases risk of Diabetes, and cardiovascular disease (she has a documented heart disease made worse by her obesity). She needs expert help and no more TH-cam advice.
Congratulations and thanks for your video
Your my model, never give up, great info that I always need. Love your family, love all that you share.
Jess, I love your TRUTH!!! Thank you for sharing!❤
I think you love the idea of a high protein low carb meal but you keep getting out of track. You need to stop the madness and quit all diet thinking. What about 3 balanced meals a day with a small deficit and just enjoy your workouts. The diets will keep you failing and starting over. Trust me, I’ve been there. Also, if you are the happiest now maybe you don’t need to lose anymore. Maintain and enjoy your life. Best of luck.
@meatymama-lh7pn I was there for 20 years.
She doesn’t need 3 meals, she has insulin resistance, she needs insulin as low as possible so that the body is forced to burn body fat for fuel. She needs 2MAD at most, but ultimately therapeutic fasting protocols. Low insulin only happens with certain types of foods and if you don’t eat at all.
@@julieswhirled9532 2 balanced meal a day sounds good too.
She’s not happy at all, and you can clearly see that again more of. I have told her time after time forget dieting, it’s not even a diet. It should just be a life change and a new way of living and eating and just common sense but then again, if she did that where the videos that go along with that she always feels like she has to have a hook and an angle and some new beast to feed her followers..
Looking great! Missed you. Can you start including recipes again?
All I see is excuses 😔.
Go carnivore, its so much easier and there's way less up and down.
I think she's tried this, just didn't stick with it
You are absolutely right! I've done what Jesse has done and NEVER could get rid of the food cravings and the weight yo-yoed. (That's how addiction works.) As soon as I cut out EVERYTHING except BEEF, WATER, SALT, the cravings left and I eventually settled into a very satisfying OMAD. I am not hungry and my energy is through the roof. I love Jesse and can relate to her struggle, but it took me YEARS to overcome the life-long brain washing of the food pyramid pushed by fake food corps and the false belief that my addictive self could handle 20 carbs. What a joke! As long as we keep sneaking in those carbs, the cravings and weight will stick around. Just cut them ALL out. We could go the rest of our lives without another carb. HOWEVER, we Do need the protein, fat, water and salt.
Jesse, PLEASE. Just do a 30-day ' elimination diet challenge' for yourself. Just go lion diet or BBB&E. My prediction is that you will drop that inflammation quickly and feel so much better, that you will go another 30 days. And another. Also, please stop pushing LMNT. That stuff (for some people . . . [me]) will push your blood pressure through the roof. As long as I stick with lion diet (replete with Redmond REAL SALT), my blood pressure is consistently normal -- along with normalized BMI, Glucose, Ketones, etc. My favorite saying is "Hey vegan. I ate the thing that eats your salad. You're welcome!" ; D
Please research Dr. Chaffee, Dr. Berry, Dr. Shawn Baker, HomeSteadHow, Carnivore Soldier (fellow Texan), Ferrigno Freedom.
You can thank me later. God bless you, Jess.
Do NOT get Barriatric surgery ! You mentioned it as an option, once. I have a feeling that you are considering it. Please don't. Keep doing what works for you ,like you did in the beginning.Your precious family needs you,happy & healthy. Your viewers love you & need you ❤
Jess please get a professional to help assist you with weight loss :( I've been watching for some years. My heart breaks you haven't made it to Maintenace. It's not a marathon for sure slow and steady wins the race, but I can't imagine the fad diets are any healthier.
Life is always ups and downs. You’re such and inspiration of not looking back and move forward. You got me to do push ups.😂 That’s amazing! Since you’re in Texas…Will you be attending “Hack you Health” conference in Austin at the end of May?
Hi Jess - I started watching I guess 5 years ago. Wow, how time flies. You are a trooper! I've struggled with my weight my entire life. I'm close to 60 now and wish I hadn't spent so much time worrying about my weight. In my twenties, I was 20 lbs overweight, and 40 years later I've dieted my way up to 6o lbs overweight.
You dont look like you lost any fat.
This sounds like the Jess I started following 5 years ago. I missed you girl Im proud of you and your journey and still following ❤struggles are hard for all of us its a lifestyle not a diet it's only a diet when you give up ❤
Thank you, Jess.. You are very real and I love you for it.
This is the best video! It’s very motivational. The part about self discipline or thinking it forward and making the choices for our better selves and better health is spot on. Thanks for this!
What discipline? She been trying to lose the same amount of weight for 4 years now. She lacks discipline..
You don't look like a healthy weight though?
Hey Jess, keep going! You are an inspiration. We all have struggles and you keep it real!! Don’t stop!
Beautiful! Thank you for sharing your journey with us. Keep going and never give up!❤. Wow, time flies by so fast!🤗
Congratulations on five years!😘
❤️♥️🥰
❤You are such an inspiration!
❤❤❤✌✌🤘🤘💪💪💪 You Fucking ROCK JESS!!
Hoping your congestive heart failure has improved also! ❤🎉❤
