⚖️ Great video. I’m from Indianapolis (USA) and am abt 7lbs (half a stone) away from hitting the top of my range.
⚖️
I’m currently on my weight loss journey (141kg atm with 6.5k lost so far) so I’m probably getting ahead of myself watching videos on maintenance, but as someone who got done to 65kg before and put it all back on I need good advice so it doesn’t happen again. Thank you for your tips ❤
Thank you. I am watching this video for the 4th time. I am 75 years old and in the last 18 months I have lost 65 lbs. Been maintaining weight for a month…..adjusting to living life. We have a healthy lifestyle with nutritional diet and exercise daily( every other day go to gym).
This is it. I am at 155 lbs which I haven’t seen in 30 years! Exciting, scary but now I have the time to really focus on my health (our health, my husband is my partner in all things ❤️). Again thank you for your videos. I live in sunny California.
Such a great reminder.
Wow that's fantastic. 85 here. Great job.
Absolutely beautiful! Thank tou
I have never believed that maintenance could be more difficult than weightloss! 😮 For me losing weight has always been hard, but it is true! You lose weight, job done and return to normal Life and there It Is slippery slope 😂😂 also that weight loss wont make you Happy….. You are Just as happy/unhappy like before weightloss, Just in a smaller body. You are an inspiration Carla ❤ I admit i didnt do much mental work during weightloss process….

Thank you for this video. I'm struggling right now to lose 25kg. I've lost 25kg before but now it's just stuck. I'm going to try fasting but it's difficult 😅

💚 from Italy 😊😊😊 I've lost 20kg last year, now I' m a little bit afraid of getting back … thank you for your video 🌷🌷🌷🌷🌷
⚖️ hello! Listening from San Antonio, Texas (US). Thank you so much for sharing your wisdom in such a kind and balanced way! It really is refreshing to hear someone push back against the diet industry conception that self worth is tied to weight. We are so much more than the amount of gravitational force exerted on our bodies!!! 😊

New to the channel and really enjoying it! I've been plus size my whole life, but was very active when I was younger. I wanted to get back to feeling fit and strong and started training for my first tri this year. I decided to start eating more consciously to fuel my fitness goals. Just a few weeks out from race day, and weight is falling off. Excited to see where else this new level of fitness and healthier body can take me!
Italy 🇮🇹 ❤
You are helping me so much!
Vancouver Island BC Canada. Love your story and how realistic it is. I need to get on the scale regularly because when i dont my i go into denial…..wear stretchy clothes so i dont get feedback that things are increasing….until a signicant gain occurs that seems so hard to tackle. I weigh once a week now. I have my chat with myself..'its only information, whatever the number is i will deal with it'….then carry on. I also make sure i wear nonstretchy clothes frequently to get that important feedback. I believe since the invention of stretchy jeans and lulu lemon etc….we are having a harder time with weight management!!! One can gain 10 15 lbs before even realizing it!!!!!

Thank you so much for sharing everything and focusing on mental health. I have watched numerous videos from you and I feel like I'm finally able to dive into my mental health and see how it correlates to my food codependancy
I was looking for a video you might have posted on maintenance. I never used to have issues with maintenance, I always stayed at whatever weight I was, in some respects stuck at the same weight, unable to even lose 1kg. I still need to lose about 10kg to be back to 65kg and 6kg to be back to the normal weight range. So I don't need to deal with it yet, but I've noticed, either I lose weight or I gain weight. If I eat 3 meals, I gain, if I eat 2 and fast, I lose. I've tried eating something low calorie, if it's too low, lika a snack, lose, if too many put on! I might actually have to start counting calories for that third meal.
I have changed. When I work the staff room can have doughnuts and cookies to eat, in the past I'd make a coffee and eat maybe 3 cookies. Sometimes I just wouldn't stop eating, even when I'd had enough. Now I can eat 1 doughnut and stop, or break a bit of a cookie and pull a face and give the rest to my husband to finish. So I think I've changed my habits. I'm starting to not like overly sweet food, I prefer savory now. I'd rather have a healthy meal than snacky food.
Sounds like from what you say, I'm gonna figure it out. Congrats getting the baby weight off, must be a relief to be back to what you were again.
⚖️ Hello from California. Love every one of your videos! Thanks Carla! ❤
Does the bodyslim programme teach you about maintenance when you finish the 10 weeks
This post was VERY helpful to me. I gained 4-5 pounds on maintenance and thought I was on my way of getting fat again. It's good to hear that fluctuation is a normal part of maintenance.
Yes!!! Weight training makes me incredibly hungry. Running does as well. Keep us posted on how that goes in the long term.
