Good luck on your journey! I’m rooting for you💕 I know it’s hard! I got a lot to say cause I know how you feel. The first time I realized I was overweight I was 8, so life has been a battle since. When I was 10 my doctor told me I’d never be “skinny” and he was right, kind of. I’ve been slimmer, but never skinny, and that’s okay w/ me now. I was ALWAYS trying to change my eating habits to lose weight and it never seemed to work (Atkins diet(basically keto), weight watchers points, 3-day diet are just a few that come to mind). Just remember the scale lies, pay attention to how you feel and look. I’m 27 now and I still have my ups and downs with my weight. I lead an active lifestyle (this year I started hiit with 8-10lbs weights with heather robertson 3xs a week) It’s hard to stay on top of my eating so some weeks I might add an extra workout day for balance) And girl, by the time you my age (or even before) people pretty much catch up, or pass you up in the weight dept anyway. To this day I still watch transformations to keep me motivated. It’s definitely a lifestyle change and I feel like it isn’t fair sometimes that I have to do all of this, but you have to do what you can for you! I figured God gave me my weight problems early enough for me to figure them out. Much love girly💕

Hi great job! I started on my journey on Oct.1, 2019. So tomorrow is my one year anniversary. I was 230, I am now 144. I'm trying to get my goal weight of 130 before Christmas. I started with Keto cause my my A1C was 6.7 now it's 4.7 and my cholesterol was 197. It was always around 150. This means I had full T2 diabetes. My doctor said if I could get my numbers down I wouldn't have to take the medicine. She was amazed after 2 months I got my A1C to 5.6. Now She says I weigh less then her. BTW I just turned 60 last month and I've been dieting off and on since I was 20 from 127 to 267. I was 35 when I got married and weighed 160. I was at my highest after having my daughter in 1999. I can fit into size 10 jeans again. I started walking after 3 months into my journey now I added light weights and swimming. You look great, keep up the great work.

However, always remember that you are beautiful ❤️❤️

God is so good. I have been praying for a lifestyle change and truly just want to be set free from food and my mentality and way of doing/eating things. This video mysteriously just popped up on my KZread and your video says it took you 6months. It didn’t click until the ending mark of your video that made me SMILE!!! Because it was like God softly whispered to me and said it’s April 2023- 6months from now will be November. By end of year a goal that I set would be accomplished. For me it was always hard for me to set a weight loss goal and follow an actual weight loss journey but I KNOW for a fact that my time is Now!!! It’s now!!! Thanks for posting this! And shot out to you and your success and I’m praying for anyone who think it can’t be done, that it will be done! Amen

Great job! I to lost 120lbs in 6 months. People said it was impossible but it’s not if you stay focused. Working out 5 days a week, 4 hours a day A strict diet you can do it and you did it!!!! Very true about a LIFESTYLE CHANGE You look absolutely amazing!

Honestly - just think of how plain bread, potatoes, rice and pasta are WITHOUT the spices & sauces... Just use the sauces/spices on meat and low-carb options (like vegetables) and it is just as good! Also there are TONS of sweets that are low carb to satisfy your sweet tooth... and Quest Protein chips are low carb and high protein & taste great! Keto is actually easy.

I have a chocolate little gurl and she is 5 I always try to show her how beautiful she is because one of her classmates called her “dark”. She she said Mommy she is beautiful and I could not agree with her more. You are so beautiful🥰

That was sad to read. Tell your daughter as the original responder said, “ she is dark and lovely”. I have twin daughters, one darker complexion and the other light complexion. I am so grateful that while I grew up in a “color struck” family, I did not grow up in a color struck home. I have a dark older sister and a lighter older and sister and I fall in the middle and our parents never compared our looks. We never knew what colorism was or had never heard of it until our late twenties and early thirties. People will put their insecurities on you through their terrible words but please tell your girl that she has an immense power and that is choosing what words matter to her and she gets to choose how people treat her by setting boundaries. Thanks for posting, now I am able to be proactive with my approach as opposed to reactive. Take care and tell that baby she is BEAUTIFUL, SPECIAL and PRECIOUS everyday!

I have a beautiful chocolate baby girl too and it is so important to teach them to embrace their skin ... And I make sure I tell her everyday how beautiful her complexion is and let her know there is ignorance out here but it stems from. Jealousy! And the most beautiful and rich in heritage have the deeper tone and are closer to the Lord. I'm very jealous in a good way of my baby. I always wished I had a darker complexion.. being lighter I got stereotyped as thinking I was all that or prettier or "acting white" it was cruel things spewed my way too. My wish for all. Black people or people of color to embrace all shades.. acknowledge and uplift and celebrate the many shades we come in.. it's a beautiful gift from God that no other race can receivo have among them. We come in all these different forms of variety it's just... Beautiful.. from eye color to hair texture and yet we all. Come from. 1 race.. 1 source... 1 ❤️ be blessed and tell that beautiful baby she is regal and beautiful ... Her ancestors said so😉

I'm currently doing a water fasting regimen, and I've lost 35lbs. and 26 1/2 in. in just 2 months! Haven't done any exercise at all or changed my diet yet (I'm waiting to get to a more comfortable size, then add weightlifting and light cardio/yoga, plus I can't do much damage eating since my stomach has shrunk) but I plan to do low carb/modified keto. I think the guy you were talking about is Thomas Delauer, and I follow him, too! I also follow A Healthy Alternative, and this is what started me on my fasting journey. The host Chris James and his fasting interviewees are super inspiring! They also talk about fasting to help remedy loose skin, so I would encourage anyone to safely try that first before going under the knife (I'm a surgical tech by trade, but I don't want to be cut on if I don't have to, and neither should you)! So proud of your accomplishments and you look absolutely gorgeous; subscribed! ♡ Edit: 41lbs. now, as of 09/26/20!

@@toribravo9462 Hi, Tori! So I sort of made up a fasting regimen that works for me from one of the ladies I watched that was interviewed on A Healthy Alternative...can't remember her name, but if you get to watch it, she's a lovely black woman from Belize with a beautiful sing-song accent. Anyway, she would continuously fast and have refeed (grubbing, lol) days in between, so I did the same. I do odd numbers, so 7, 5, 3, 1, 3, 5, 7, 5, 3, 1, etc., meaning I water fast 1 week (lost 17lbs. from the first week alone!), next (8th) day eat whatever I want however many times I want for a day, then a 5-day water fast, eat day, 3-day water fast, eat day, 24 hr water fast, eat day, 3-day water fast, so on, and so forth. It's the most doable thing I've ever tried, and it's almost criminal that people are just finding out about this when fasting has been done the world over almost as long as people have existed! If what I do seems too strict or too much for you, watch the various interviews on A Healthy Alternative; one of their methods may speak to you and start you on your own fasting journey! My sister, who's diabetic, is doing this with me, and she's lost 20lbs. so far, but she water fasts no more than 1-3 days in a week. She still eats twice a day on her non-fasting days, but her A1C and blood sugar is in normal range, and she's off her diabetic meds! Remember, neither of us is exercising while doing any of this yet (unless you call grocery shopping in Aldi's or running free in Target exercise, lol)! Most advise to slowly drink a gallon of water throughout the day, but everyone can't always make that amount initially, so just take your current weight, divide it by 2, and drink the amount you get in ounces daily. Depending on the size of water bottle you use (mine is 24oz), divide your daily ounces by the bottle's ounces, and you'll know the minimum amount of bottles you need to drink in a day for your body to function properly. Slowly increase your intake until you can finish a gallon a day. This may sound weird, but I would also advise talking to a counselor or a behavioral therapist during your weight loss; since much of our weight comes from upheavals in our lives, or unresolved issues...it absolutely goes hand in hand with sustained weightloss. I hope this info helps, and I'm so excited for you to take these steps towards transforming your life! Good luck, ladybug! ♡
