So I went on a walk every day since the first of January (about 1 hour and 5km a day). I changed my eating habits step by step and I feel way better and lost a little weight. Just wanted to share this because I am proud of myself. ♡

I lost 23 Kgs doing just that. My stamina kept increasing so I'd find excuses to get out of the house and walk even though I'd already done my hour. I didn't change my diet (Indian food is already healthy, its just that I wasn't burning anything off when I didn't move as much) but I changed my dinner time to 6pm. I'd eat nothing after that. In the morning I'd remember to have a big breakfast. It felt so good when I had to change so little that my brain didn't keep finding excuses to cheat.

"Your fitness journey is a gift to yourself" That is SO lovely. I am definitely taking that on board as my saying.

Yea!! My best friend is 5’7 (also a total gym rat) & i’m 5’1 & every time we get dinner i’m amazed at how much she can eat! Especially when we’re eating something super yummy I wish i could handle a couple more bites because the food is just so good! But i also always have leftovers for the next day ;)

SMALL changes yes!! I was following so many influencers who cut out fast food/soda/meats/etc all at once to lose weight or get fit and if it worked for them, that's great. But LITTLE changes. Slow and steady! I've slowly cut out soda since October, tripled my water intake, and now I crave water??? hello??? Also, it's so nice to be following someone who didn't start out athletic. Hecking love your journey. And Greg. What a great man he's been to your life! Happy for you

I’ve recently started losing weight since quarantine started. I’ve lost 4kgs in a month just walking everyday and doing either an arm, leg&booty or ab workout. You’ve literally inspired me purely due to how relatable you are. Thank you so much!!

Being comfortable in the gym is so important. I notice whenever i don’t go at my usual time (5am) I am extremely uncomfortable. I am used to the people that are there at 5am, I like that there is max 12-15 people including me at that hour & I’ve made friends with the girl who runs the front desk. I have went at 1pm and at 6pm before and I hated it. All i wanted to do was get out and go home. I was miserable. I think going into the gym to get comfortable, but also going at a set time will help you get more comfortable because you will see the same people around that time usually

I have never felt more motivated in my life to start my fitness journey! Thank you so much!!! 2017 I had a terrible relationship with food and exercise and in 2018 I had the opposite relationship with them so in 2019 I am so determined to find that healthy relationship again! Thank you!! ❤️

I really appreciate the way you give tips for people to make starting on this journey easier, specially those about anxiety and making yourself comfortable. I find it really helpful. Thank you so much!

I’ve never watched someone who is so relatable and down to earth and gets it! I love it and I love you!! Give us ALL the videos. (:

Yay ! I’m so excited to be watching your videos again ! I have been following you since the the beginning of my fitness journey and since then I have lost 40lbs . Your videos and your knowledge have been such an inspiration to me . I have researched so many fitness vloggers and there is truly no one like you , you are one of a kind. Happy new year ❣️

I am SO proud of you girl!!! You got this. Thank you so much for the support.

This was actually very motivating to me because hearing that you started small makes me feel like it's actually achievable. When you see people who are already healthy and have great habits it can seem impossible to get to that point.

I love how realistic and reassuring you are 😭 you make me feel like I can do it omg. Thank you so much! I'll be following you from now on. Xoxoxo

I wish I could like this video a thousand times 😭 You give me so much motivation, I’m truly thankful for your advice and support❤️ Thank you for sharing your story. Lovelovelove💞

Oh man. What you said about avoiding social media, photos of yourself, and seeing the scale resonates so hard with me. Greg weighing you and being so supportive is amazing 😭 Also love you what you said about allowing yourself an outlet you can enjoy besides aesthetics, such as improved strength. I'm also 5'11" and ended up heavier than I ever would have guessed after a couple years of binge eating, binge drinking, and dealing with a lot of depression and anxiety. You're officially my favorite fitness guru!

Rewarded myself for working out today by finally getting to watch this video! Thank you so much for all you share with us! You have helped so many! You and Greg are great and I love your videos!

Yesss!! Drinking water and switching healthier alternatives has helped me A LOOOT in my fitness journey. Thanks for sharing xx

This was the best information I’ve ever seen in my 10 years of watching KZread advice on fitness. Very inspiring.

You have such a beautiful soul, I really enjoy your videos! I can tell you really want to help people and your gentle wisdom is so refreshing. Thanks for making content for us!!

I’m on day 2 of GG1 week 1! And I am so so excited to see what 2019 has in store. I can’t thank you enough for these videos and your instagram and your workouts!!!

you are my far my most favourite Fitness influencer Mari... i love that your content is about aesthetics, sustainability and most importantly, mental health.... you're doing great sis!!!

It is so interesting to learn how you began your journey! I love how you explained that you began small and I think it is so important to do it 😊 so thank you for this video this is so motivating to see where you come from and where you are now ❤️ You're such an inspiration 🧡🧡 Happy new year to all the family 😘😘🐶

You and Greg are such sweet genuine people! Love you guys.

I finished my freshman year and I found myself in a place very similar to how you were and you were the person who motivated me to go and begin my chapter 1. You are so inspirational and I wanted to thank you for this!

This is probably one of the most realest advice! Proud of your success!! ❤️

Only half way through so far. But THANK YOU for speaking about the different weights/needs of people and talking about setting realistic small goals, I know so many people that get overwhelmed and give up so quickly because they try to set an unachievable standard for themselves (mostly because of what the see on social)

You have no idea of how much this video helped me, it gave me the motivation I needed. Now I know where to begin, than you so much! 💕💕💕

You are such an inspiration! I’ve been really struggling with the 0 to 100 thing and this really cleared it up/helped out a lot. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!

Mari, I absolutely adore you. Thank you for all the inspiration and being so down to earth and relatable!

You are an angel!! Probably one of the most simple yet helpful fitness videos I’ve ever watched 💕

Love your vids. Have 90lbs to shift so im going to be tuning in to you on a regular basis to get tips and be inspired. Happy New Year!

I used your Bloom green apple pre workout for the first time today. It was definitely the cleanest tasting I’ve had and it gave me just what I needed to push myself to that next level I was looking for. Thank you two for putting out a product that I don’t feel worried about consuming and that tastes delicious! I’m looking forward to starting the rest of my workouts with it!

started my fitness journey today and am SO glad I found your channel !! thank you for being so motivating and inspiring ! :)

I was just thinking yesterday how you didn't post a vlog long time and I missed it and today here you are! O happy day 😁😁 Sending love and support from Croatia 💪🏼❤

Aw Mari I love you so much. I can't wait for you to get back into consistent KZread Content. I find myself rewatching your old videos for motivation and ideas. Thanks for creating the content you do!

Happy new year Mari! You inspire me so much. I can’t wait to start on my journey

Just started following you and I have to say, you are a new favorite. I know this video is old but I still wanted to comment (I never comment on these). Even though I’ve been working out for a bit over the years I’ve been off and on and the last four months I’ve been lifting even more than ever. Your advice is perfect for getting over that fear that some people have. Plus your touching on mental illness is so amazing. Thank you and keep up the great work.

Ahhh excited to follow along with your journey!! So inspirational 🙏🏼This year I've been taking my fitness and diet super serious, so much so that I'm starting my own channel where I'm going to be documenting my fitness and lifestyle!

Thank you all of advice helps, I I KNOW this is terrible but I’m 4yrs old & literally just now starting my journey mainly for my health but of course loosing weight will be a huge bonus! Thanks again

I loved hearing your journey. So appreciate you sharing this. ❤️

I´m halfway through the journey (G2-WEEK6) and you are right about everything and how it feels. I'm so glad you shared this and made the guides to help so many of us. It's not always easy, but seeing your body change and grow muscle is amazing!

I was considering giving up because I didn’t know ho to start but this video truly helped me!! ❤️❤️ I’ll lose all the weight with your help and make you proud

I just got the nutrition guide, gym guide 1, and a resistance band 😊 yesterday was day 1 and my arms are super sore but I’m so excited to be doing this! Thank you for inspiring me 😊

Great story, I especially love that you spoke about the importance of water, something that a lot of people don't seem to know much about. Good luck on your continuing fitness journey!!

this is the most motivational video ive ever seen like im being real you explained your journey really well in small ddetails that you know are important its obvious that you spok real in this video nnot just to get views or something being you being real made it so realistic and motivational !! thanks for sharing this journey with us i wish the best for you

Ill say it over and over again your such an inspiration, love your honesty always... please continue to do more videos.

I’ve always tried to make every change at once, and if I failed I gave up immediately. Lately I’ve been trying small changes every day, and once I master those I move on to the next. Little steps are the way to go!

This connects with me so much! Love your insight and information you shared! I fell I am in a place where I want to make changes so badly and just haven't stuck with it. While I do want to lose weight, my focus would be to feel stronger and healthier! Thanks for this inspiration!

I am so happy for you and I am glad you had someone to help you along your journey!

Love your fitness tips and your support system! So inspirational that while I was lifting weights just now, I decided to do some unscheduled cardio lol! Thanks for the inspo!

Great advice!!! I’m starting my fitness journey now and am so excited but don’t want to burn out early like I have always done 😞 I’m 5’11 and 220 which doesn’t look bad on me but I am definitely overweight. I have always been skinny and after I got married I got comfortable and gained 50lbs so now I’m ready to kick butt and get it off before I turn 40 on May! New sub!!! Thanks for the pep talk! 😁😁❤️❤️

I just made the closest thing to a home gym that I could. I give you so much credit for going to the gym. I've tried for years to get comfortable and no go. No biggie. I've started really training hard at home and I'm seeing great results, even while pregnant 😊

Greg is a saint! I've just started my fitness journey and I'm so excited! I've done it before so I know I can do it. I have learned from my mistakes and I really think I'm a better person for it, although going on a 3 year no health bender cause me to gain like 60 pounds... oops better late than never. Have you tried CrossFit? I want to try it eventually, but I am making small changes. I'm currently doing whole 30.

love this and YOU, MarI! Thank you for being so kind and inspirational.

I started my journey January 3, 2019 and I have lost 11 pounds so far (It is exiting.) Also, I have changed Mentally. I have never felt so mentally happy and motivated. My days are better and so positive. It has been almost 4 weeks, but I see and FEEL the changes withing my body and mind. It is amazing. I Am here watching your videp to be even more motivated to keep on going. January 27th was my bday so i did cheat and felt so guilty, but i am back on track. I am exited for the up coming months.I am a mother of a 9 month baby boy, and I dont have a gym membership. But, I do not want to look for excuses. I will get a gym membership soon, but To each one of you wanting to start, Start TODAY and you wont look back. Best of luck to everyone.

Just came across your channel and I'm so glad I did, you have such an inspiring story and its giving loads of motivation!! x

The hat tip is so true! I have been doing that and I feel a difference.

For my beginner gals, small changes are key! Oats are the best thing ever for breakfast , with a little bit of blueberries for natural sweetness! Up your water intake too!!

Happy new year, Mari ❤️ Thank u so much for this. Love from Brazil

I’ve already changed my diet and started home workouts but there’s only so much I can do at home. I’ve been researching and researching and still afraid to use my gym... I have bad anxiety and recently lost all my muscle in the last five years due to Gastro Paresis. I’m not use to being out of shape and it’s so hard for me to decide on workouts and I get nervous and forget what To do. Xoxoxo I already notice less anxiety and more energy and less bloating which is wonderful!

You seem so genuine and nice! I’m so glad I’ve found you on here and insta :)

You deserve waaaaay more attention. This video is SO good. Thank you so much for sharing.

You inspire me so much. I suffer from an undiagnosed autoimmune condition right now (doctors are trying to figure out what it is) and arthritis/spine issues. You helped me eat a lot healthier and I eat very healthy. Unfortunately and not unfortunately- I cannot eat unhealthy. I violently throw up. We don’t know why. So I usually just look at your super healthy meals with no sauces. Hoping I can crush my goals despite arthritis with your workouts! Although I may have to adjust according to my physical therapist :)

I love that you mention your gym anxiety. I am going to try the baseball cap trick. Great idea!

This was my first video i've seen of you! I'll definitely be coming back to your channel though. Great work! :)

I really needed this today! Thank you❤️

Thank you so much for sharing this 😭 you are amazing 💕

great inspiration! You are spot on that changing daily habits and routine is the only lifelong sustainable approach.

Omg I love you! This video was so helpful 💕 We got this 💪

I've just started my fitness journey! My mum encouraged me to take a walk every day (it takes me about an hour) which I've been doing, and a couple days ago I tried push ups. It made me realise how unfit I am because I needed to modify my goal to being able to get down to the ground, but I'm ok with that! I have to start somewhere right? I'm still amazingly sore as I write this, but I'm excited about giving it another go soon. I've been looking up things I can try at home because going to the gym is too intimidating for me at the minute. Thank you for the encouragement!! I might be very unfit right now, but I really want that to change even if it takes me years to do it

This is such a good and educational video. It has added to my motivation, thank you so much 🙏🏼😊

You’re so relatable! I am so happy I found these videos!

I just found your channel and I’m obsessed!! 💖

you. are.amazing!!! thank you Mari so much you are the most inspiring person that I needed to start my fitness journey. my goal is to loose weight and build muscle (not like a bodybuilder😂) but to look healthy. I hate how my body looks at the moment and I want to change something in my life to love my self. Again thank you Mari to be who you are you opened my eyes ❤
