This video was perfect timing. I’m restarting my fitness journey for the 3rd time after regaining majority of the 40lbs I lost. I’ve experimented all summer w/ different weight loss tips but like you said, it became overwhelming. I’m going back to the basics I used to lose the 40lbs the first time but now I’m mentally ready to maintain the weight loss.

The New Year 2023 1st of January I've already started my weightloss/fitness journey and I couldn't be happier my goal is to keep going and never fail I believe in myself I got this 💯💪🏼🙂I trust myself and my body🏋🏽‍♀️

I found your videos sometime in May and I want you to know you've really helped me put my goals into perspective and get my life back in a way that serves me. I think for a long time I was doing this journey just to please others, and it never worked. Because I was always trying to fix everything all at once, as quick as possible, lose as much weight as I could so people wouldn't think of me as overweight. One day I realized that this shouldn't have anything to do with them. I started thinking about MY goals: feeling more energy, eating foods that were fresher, finding ways to be active that were fun. And then I found you. You are so genuine, down-to-earth, and just insanely insightful. You make healthy living feel so comfortable, so accessible. You make me want to do something for myself every day and you're helping me feel comfortable in my own skin. I hope this reaches you the way you have reached me these past few months.

I always enjoy this channel . For someone who is on a weight loss journey myself there is good tips and advice . So far I’ve lost 21 kg but Lucy is right …its about learning to change eating habits and having the right mindset .

Thank you, this was so helpful and motivating -and so down-to-earth with all your experience.

Love the ‘just get started’ Lucy - it’s so true - I always feel so much better and in control after just a couple of days focussing on my health. And I also love that you watch things that make you happy and trash telly too - keeping it real is so important to total wellbeing isn’t it? 😃

Thank you for pointing out my procrastination. In my head it was research but in reality I was psyching myself out of getting started

You’re inspiring others to take better care of themselves too. You are amazing❤

Thank you for this content, I needed to hear this. Here I am yet again, self talking to get motivated again🙂 fed up with been at the starting line again. Wondering how I can change that start line habit, to make improvements. One step at a time!!

You start by being sick and tired of being sick and tired. You proclaim that you need to make changes to your life. You begin by walking, even just 10 minutes at a time (I know this may be tough) weighing yourself every day, AND TRACKING CALORIES. It's not the sugar, carbs, oils, red meat, or anything like that. Eat what you like but remain aware of the calories the food costs. You only have 2000 calorie dollars to spend every day. Weight is directly proportional to the number of calories you are taking in every day vs what you are using or "burning". You may be surprised that eating a 5 piece chicken combo from popeyes, a pint of Ben and Jerry's, Taco Bell, and several sodas every day, then going out to the bar every night for some beers and more bar food is making you FAT. It's the CALORIES. Most people only need around ~2500 calories a day. If you are counting your calories and find out that a burger and fries are 900 calories, you should probably find something else to eat. Track your weight every day, count your steps and minutes spent walking, and sleeping, and I promise you will draw conclusions about how you are going to eat fewer calories, stay satisfied, and get more activity in your daily life. You may also be surprised that watching KZread for 6 hours a day or scrolling on your favorite Distraction Puzzle (Social Media & Video Games) will have to be GREATLY REDUCED & ELIMINATED from your life. You only have so much time in the day. You need to DESIGN your life. You don't have to be a leaf in the wind getting blown around by the trends of the times. I promise, there is a life for you that you don't run out of breath tying your shoes and going up a flight of stairs or walking a half mile without waddling. I'M TIRED OF THIS AND I'M GOING TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT~! You got this!

Just stumbled across this video and I’m so glad I did. Thank you so much!

Thank you for sharing your words of wisdom! ❤ You are the only health/fitness person I follow online because you’re so relatable, realistic and down to earth while also being inspiring and encouraging 🙌🏽 I would add there’s an extra option for us all re: social media. (If you don’t need an online presence for your job etc) You can just completely delete IG, FB etc! I only have KZread now and like I say follow you, and then the rest of my algorithm is made up of comedy videos, travel, and minimalism/ wardrobe ideas. IG and FB were getting me down so bye bye to them! 🧘🏼‍♀️💕☀️

You are putting just the same comments for such a lots of others vlogs🤔

What do you suggest someone do when they don’t feel different? I don’t feel bad when I’ve eaten junk, I don’t feel extra energized or good after eating healthy. I just feel like my normal self. Same thing with exercise. I don’t get energized from exercise, I feel tired. I don’t get a runner’s high or feel an endorphin boost, I feel like I need a nap. It is so hard to stay consistent when I don’t feel any of these positive encouragements.

Thank you so much! Your tips really helped me today. I’ve felt like I’ve fallen off the wagon again and was losing heart, but I really want to reach my goals in feeling better mentally and physically. I need it so much. Thanks for helping those around you and sharing your bright outlook on life!

Another really inspiring video, I LOVE your videos, Lucy!! I have watched so many other videos, read so much (information overload) but I feel like you are the only one who also mentions things like overthinking, procrastinating or that you might feel better to "clean" your Instagram feed and add things that make you feel good even they have nothing to do with "optimizing yourself", nutrition,etc. Because it's the hundred little things that contribute to our motivation, our well-being as well and having a high influence on us. Because of course everyone CAN do sports and eat healthy but it's mostly about the mindset. You are so relatable and make people feel seen, I do, so THANK YOU 😊😊

I needed to hear this as a reinforcement. I KNOW I lost weight (10+lbs), I'm down 1-2 sizes and my frame looks smaller in general. But today I measured myself and I have the same numbers which makes no sense bc I can literally SEE that I'm a lot slimmer?? What's going on 🙄

On a scale of one to motivational, you are extremely motivational, and I love your stuff. This year I was super unwell, where I was in bed all the time and moving only a few times a day. Got to the point where my muscles atrophied and my eating habits were so awful. I was 215 pounds of mostly fat, and so little muscle I could hardly walk a block. Worst part was I hardly noticed since I'm 6 foot and my weight spreads pretty even. I finally made a change beginning of July, and its because of content like yours I've been able to truck on. Small improvements everyday is all I look for, and your channel helps me do that. Tysm.

Moved onto strength because I found that with my increased weight I had a reduced range of motion, meaning my form was really off and induced a lot of knee pain, hip flexor pain etc. Worked on stretching a lot, and am now down to 185. Running is a lot easier and is no longer painful. Really though IDK if that's the best start, that's just what worked for me. Starting anywhere you can be consistent with is what I recommend.

Love this video Lucy, thank you, i have started a very relaxed weight loss journey. I am literally following your words, i don't count calories i have just made the conscious decision to move my body every morning, yoga and weights and i change up every day. And i have a pull up bar, and i am practicing every day. I have noticed a difference in my clothes i weigh myself every now and again. I was always 50 kilos now i am double, but i have come to terms with it and now i am controlling my eating disorder, i seem to have a better relationship with food. I was once very strong, gym goer loved exercise. I'm not sure what my reasons were back then 4 years ago. But now i just want to implement good habits and feel strong. I love you said about enjoying the journey. I am. Thank you for reinforcing everything. 💙💙💙

Hello, I have a doubt about calories, english is not my main language, but I will try to explain myself as good as I can... We all know that 7700 calories is the same as 1 kg... so, by that definition, the highest calories in 1kg of food should be 7700 cal, or 100grams should be 770 calories max. The problem I found is that there are some products, like olive oil, that have more calories than that... olive oil has 880 cal every 100ml... so, by that definition, if I would be able to drink 1L of olive oil, I would be gaining more than 1 kg with 1 L of oil... So, the question is... How is that possible that you can gain more weight than the thing you are consuming ? It doesn't make any sense to me, but with the olive oil example is true... 1L of olive oil weights less than 1Kg (about 916 grams, because olive oil weights less than water), but if you consume it, you will gain 8800 calories, which are equivalent to around 1 Kilo and 150 grams... How is that even possible ?

@steveworrall3705

Жыл бұрын

Hello, your English is very good. I think this is due to the 7700 calories being an approximation and is probably derived from an easy way to calculate how to burn a pound of fat. Many sources say that to lose a pound of bodyweight (fat) you should have a deficit of 500 calories a day which then equates to 3500 per week. Converting from pounds to calories gives you 7700 calories. So from this you could assume that a 1kg of fat results in 7700 calories. However, if you look at the actual calories per gram of fat then many sources will tell you that it is 9 calories per gram. So in your case, if olive oil is pure fat then you will have 9000 calories per 1kg.

As someone who fell off the weight regulation wagon and put on about three stone this was very timely :)
