Carla, please consider reading the book Woman’s weight loss secrets: the unspoken truth, its a game changer

YouTube definitely motivates me. And you’ve motivated me today! ❤ I am currently 5 pounds down, 215, and I was scared to think I could ever be 145 again. But knowing we’re the same height and you had a bigger starting weight and did it anyway, I really believe I can “dare to dream”! ❤❤❤❤

TW ED: This video helped me stay on my journey on May 25th when I really wanted to quit, like I always have before. I am now 5 weeks into my journey, I am down 7 lbs and I can see and feel a difference. Today my depression was the loudest it's been in a while and I had a small binge. I was both amazed at how quickly I was able to snap out of it and a little disappointed I had relapsed. That loud person in me wanted to quit so I ran here to remind myself that I am not going to quit this time. I am going to keep chanting to my brain "What if this time I don't quit?" I want to get to my second goal of 10 lbs down. I am going to work on scheduling therapy and setting up a better plan. I am also going to challenge myself to journal about my whys. I AM going to come back here when I hit the under-200 mark.

As a tall curvy woman, that's trying to get healthier and happier, I'm so glad that I found you and your channel! You are a real inspiration 💙🖤🦋

This was an incredible video for me. I also played it for my daughter, who is on her own weight loss journey. What blew my mind? What happens if I don't quit? Just WOW. Thank you so much... again.

I've been losing weight over the last couple of years, and it can be very slow going, at times, due to typical fluctuations and whatnot, as you discuss in the "keeping perspective" tip. I track my weight on a spreadsheet, because I am a big nerd and I love statistics. One way I found to keep perspective is to look at the bigger picture: instead of looking at the day-to-day weight, which can fluctuate a lot, I can pull out and look at the weekly averages, or the monthly averages.

It's so much easier to see my weight going down, down, down, when I back up and look at the bigger picture. It can also help me spot trends, like monthly or seasonal patterns.

🖤🤍I know, I comment a lot. I just had an epiphany ❣️ instead of rewards for weight loss. I'm going to start rewarding consistently, like if I exercise 6x a week all month, then I get to buy new shoes or something. So I'm tying my rewards to my efforts instead of the scale. Because the efforts to stay healthy are consistently needed no matter your weight. Anybody can tell you the machinations of how to lose weight, but you and I both know it only works when you are working on being both mentally and physically healthy. Love you. As an older mother who was raised to be a 50s housewife, that showing up for myself is a new concept, it's exciting after putting yourself last for 7 decades 😳😊

Thank you ! You have inspired me so much! “What if I didn’t quit on myself” it’s perfect!

[chereeburtner]

Thank you, Carla for the support. Very good tips for weight loss. I'm 67 and did diets and exercise off and on my whole life. This time. I want it to enjoy the rest of my life. Walking first thing every day is something I can do. It's a start with confidence!

[Madina-bikd]

"What if I didn't quit" ...???? I like this mantra and will use it. Thank you.

[Drachenschnauze]

Youre content has put me on the path of weightloss again and finally i dont feel like i dont know what im doing. I love how you showed me, that weightloss doesn't need to be an impossible hassle with little chance of getting the results you want. Ive been doing little things for a couple of days now and finally i see results i had never gotten by tiring myself out. I dont need much motivation to do it, i can do it with a busy scedule and it doesnt feel overwhelming.

[CheriLexvold]

YouTube has so many motivational videos and they really help me every day

🖤🤍Great video!! I will be coming back to this video again and again for motivation reminders!

[MarieLifeInWords]

I'm on my journey, and sometimes i don't feel motivated, but consistency and just making sure I move. It is working, I find the scales triggering, so I only weigh myself every 2 weeks. I have lost about 11 kilos, slow and steady, not cutting out everything as that is also triggering. About a kilo a week. And I do find your videos so inspiring🖤🤍 I wish my journey was slightly different but over three years I put on 58 kilos. So it was difficult to get started, but now small steps, Feeling healthier which for me is my priority, having had body dysmorphia whilst being slim, my goal is healthy and strong❤

[hannahsu]
