Her Weight-Loss Video Went Viral On TikTok. Here's What She Learned.

Last November, fitness trainer Lucy Bergin started recording her weight-loss journey, taking a daily image of herself in the same outfit to inspire herself. After losing 35 pounds over six months, she posted the video to TikTok, where it racked up 12 million views. Joining the 3rd Hour of TODAY from Tampa, she says, “I just kept telling myself that it wasn’t a short-term goal.”

So inspiring! It’s not a diet, it’s a lifestyle change! She’s awesome!

My best friend doesn't want to lose weight with me. She says she wants to, but she never commits, and for many years I've stayed lazy with her because of the fear of losing her friendship. Recently I realized that if she loves me, she'll support me. I don't need her to change too, but I can't allow myself to self sabotage on her behalf anymore. I'm almost 3 weeks into my self love journey, and hope I keep going this time.

Way to go! Taking control of your health and losing a little weight and not overly doing it. I think your weight will maintain because you took it off slowly and not too fast.

When she said “yes sir” when answering Al Roker I gained even more respect for her. You can tell she has a genuine love and respect for others.

Congratulations!! I am down 20 but I have a long way to go.

Great job Lucy. It is obvious that you have a lot of empathy and a big heart.

[rosesakura]

She’s such inspirational. Almost got me in tear.😢

This young lady is very wise and it's true. Losing weight WILL feel like a grind. The trick is to stay with it, don't stop for the rest of your life. This is a lifestyle decision, otherwise you'll put the weight back on.

I would take her weight loss advice over any of those expensive personal trainers.

[ivysimmons]

So realistic with her viewpoints. I’m proud of her 💪🏾❤️

[IsaiahSWK]

Awesome 👏She is beautiful. Mental health is key. It’s good to be alive, life is too short and it’s precious. Stay happy and hopeful!

[nobodybutme]

Love how she stressed mental healths importance

I am new to the stock market. Every stock that I bought so far, I was out of luck because I bought them when they were expensive. I feel I missed out on all the stock opportunities so far for the tech stocks.I believe having 175K yearly income would be a good investment so I want to plug all my savings into the stock market. I know this sounds a bit dull but I would like to know if I should learn investing or let somebody else (more capable like a FA) do it for me? Please share your thoughts. I am kind of tired of searching for a good stock to buy and losing all the good opportunities..

What a sweet, humble person. Inspirational.

I’m 73 and lost my extra weight fast without exercising only because I realized I was insulin resistant and so started eating within a four hour window, low carb foods and no white sugar desserts. The weight dropped off and I feel more clear headed. I feel sorry for people who get insulin shots and get fatter and fatter storing the insulin.

Trust me, us "buff" trainers have our struggles too we're all human

[c.miyuki]

You go girl . Much love and respect for your journey. You inspire many ppl to take charge of our health ❤

[reemcfall]

Congratulations to her on an amazing transformation. 🙌🏽🙌🏽

I lost 27 lbs on my own with no best friend. Sometimes your best friend may not want to do this challenge with you & prefer to keep on eating the wrong foods. Remember though it's very easy to gain that weight back as you get older since older women's metabolism begins to slow down or go on a medication that sometimes makes you gain weight so you have to be consistent with it for the rest of your life. This is never a one time thing. I gave up high carbs, fried food & sugar with my weight loss. Didn't do it to look good but did it to feel good & prevent health diseases like heart disease which is the number one killer for women & type 2 diabetes from being overweight plus others out there that contribute to weight gain.
