  • In this weight loss update, I'm sharing with you how I've lost 17 pounds in the past 6 months! In this time, I've been using a few different strategies, including cooking my own food and walking. I think these strategies are working really well for me and I'm hopeful that they can help you lose weight as well!

    Girl you have literally changed my life and I’m in tears😢. I was borderline diabetic, and I started walking and cooking my own food like I noticed you have been doing and now my blood work came back that I’m GOOD! Moreover, I feel good. You are literally saving lives and as a Black female, I’m so grateful to you! THANK YOU❤

    I’m so ready for part 2 bc I’d love to see what your meals look like. Maybe you can vlog your meals and workouts. Do you consume protein shakes to help teach your goals?

  • @lucindaprimrose
    @lucindaprimrose ปีที่แล้ว +32

    Yes hon! The walking (slow cardio) is a key component we all need to do! I turned 46 and long hours on the laptop even with regular strength training at the gym 4-5 times a week had me gain that pre-menopausal weight overnight! What I could do at 45; I can’t do anymore at 46. Walking more is crucial!
    You both look fab and thank you so much for this!! Questions for part 2: can we see more compare/contrast photos? Maybe film a lagree session? A day in the life of … so we can the schedule broken up by walking, eating, working on content, working out etc.

    I’ve been following your journey all these years. You and Katy are why I started low carb high protein. I’ve stuck to it since 2018. Lost the majority of the weight and now trying to lean. Started walking an hr every day because of you. Been loving it. Thanks for these updates! Congrats on you and Les’ change definitely inspiring me always!

    Shayla,thank you SO much for saying that if you binge eat, moderation doesn’t always work. I’ve been trying to tell people this & they don’t understand! Food addiction is real & it’s all or nothing when trying to eat healthier. Some people see me as obsessed & guess what? I am! Because I have to be to reach my goals! One question I had for you is, did you experience a lot of hunger while being in a deficit & if so, what did you do to combat that? I am having trouble with this! Anything helps! Thanks in advance!

    Always love your journey and results. Congrats. But many factors not applicable to average person. Living in Houston? No 3-7 miles in this heat?? 2-3 hours a day walking/gym?? I wfh but lead and present a lot so can’t be huffing on calls. I workout daily in the morning but next video showing how you get to your protein goals will be helpful. It’s hard to get to 150+g of protein without feeling like you’re eating all day.

    Your habits are 💯 correct especially about sugar! I noticed a huge difference in being more alert, less inflammation, less bloated all when I cut out sugar - it’s remarkable how it effects sooo many different parts of the body in a massively negative way. If there’s one thing to take away from this it’s to cut out / limit sugar!

    Also Shayla I just wanna say I’m so grateful for you! You are the reason my weight loss journey has been so easy ! Your method works so well for me. I literally can hear your voice in my head sometime saying “just do it” and “don’t be lazy” no excuses
    Key things I remember from you is to keep my meals simple. I do the same meals everyday and I love it! I like the structure.
    I am not lazy anymore 10k steps a day minimum EVERYDAY. “Move your body”

The journal helped me understand that I was an emotional eater and when I get bored I eat. If I'm upset I eat. I have primary progressive MS so walking literally saved my life. I also weigh once a week always at the same time after I get out of the shower.You both look great and I hope you share more lifestyle tips..

    You are right when you are starting a weight lost journey you do need to start strict. Once you have gotten use to your new eating habits then you can start incorporating moderation. When I first started my weight lost journey I would only go out and eat 1x a month if that.
