Walking is important... but I think diet is by far most important... Cut the carbs, sugars, and veggie oil/seed, and weight will not be an issue for long. Walk at least 10 mins after meals... but longer the better! If you have hills or stairs walk them too!

Could have done half an hour a day, the demand, effort etc. even on a busy schedule is negligible

Walking is so underrated, it’s amazing not just for your body but mind too.

I see a pikman....could you play the Pikmin walking game? Pikman bloom. Can that be your next video? Then share your friend code and we can walk together.

I’m sorry that you feel that way about yourself. Girl you are fine af! Your body and all! I’m from Ohio, USA. Found your channel with the walking for 1 hour a day. You got a subscriber outta me. Perhaps it’s the Japanese Culture that makes you feel the way you do. Because baby listen, here in America you are beautiful as hell 😍 I’m 40 yrs old, half white half filipino, and I want to marry you lol! 😘

You probably already know this, but most likely some of that weight you gained was added muscle - the intramuscular "marbling" fat in your tissues being replaced with muscle. Muscle is heavier than fat, so replacing fat with muscle causes a small weight gain. This is a good thing.

Hope you’re enjoying working out cause it’s for life.

“Getting started” is the worse for me. I KNOW I should do this. I KNOW I will feel better if I walk.

Been there, done that, understand your pain. You're doing great! Keep it up.

Girl, that is the most genuine and non-bs reflection I have seen lately

This is one of the most motivating vlogs I’ve seen. No extra hype and telling it how it is. Reminded me to keep expectations realistic, and to keep on going. Thank you.

After a year or so of being an unemployed college student who used sugar and caffeine to get through my study sessions, I realized I was no longer a healthy weight. I also had a parent diagnosed with diabetes, and a new office-job. So I decided to do something. For the past few months I've been cleaning up my diet-- tea instead of energy drinks, grapes or fresh fruit instead of candy, one slice of bread instead of two, an ear of corn with my hamburger instead of a hamburger bun. And for the past few weeks I've been walking for at least 30 minutes each day, which takes me a little over a mile. I look a little less puffy, my skin is a little clearer, and I weigh a couple pounds lighter, but I FEEL so much better! My digestion is improved, and instead of only wanting to lay around staring at my phone thinking "I don't feel good", I am able to get up and do things around the house.

Thank you for your honesty, you helped me break down my own emotional wall and keep going on my C25K journey 😊

Thank you Kat I really needed to hear this. Very proud of you and your mom 😊❤

You are so funny 😂 I’m also overweight and this video is great

Amazing story telling. Thank you for sharing.

very inspirational! I had a similar weight loss journey and struggle. I am 5'8 and was 220 lbs. I lost 70 lbs by intermittent fasting, green tea, and 30 minutes of exercise a day (getting my bpm up over 135 for majority of that time). my whole diet changed, my body changed, it was intense. at one point I was sitting eating chicken breast for two month in a row I was just realizing I don't eat for pleasure anymore, just sustenance. but I did this all very slow with gradual change. the first month was cutting out sugar and dairy. that was it. second month, intermittent fasting and making healthier choices... then it all came together with the exercise ❤️

Muscle weighs more than fat you did good

I think the further extension of the "it's easier to not do something than to do something" is that bad habits pay off in the short term, if you eat the bad food, it pays off immediately. When we want to better ourselves, it's an incredibly incremental change.. the results are down the road and we're fuelled by the pay off. So bad habits stick very easily and good habits are very hard to maintain.

I prefer walking every day than running 3/4 time a week. Better less but always. Better for the brain.

I’ve started regularly walking 5 km or more at 2021 summer being in my top weight of 110kg. There were ups and downs definitely, but now its like a very very good habit. I also added intermittent fasting cutting out my dinner. And yesterday on scale i saw lowest number during last 7-8 years. 90 kg) Never thought i will be able to do -20kg. Will continue moving forward to 85 that is my aim now. If you will be consistent with walking and calorie deficite you will lost as much as you will want to. Keep on going🙂

Worked at a sushi restaurant for 13 years.. they loved asking if I was pregnant 🤰 at least twice a year.. 😂😂😂

80 degrees is perfect weather?

But u barely talked about the results???

Beauty

Love your beauty

How was the diet during this time ?

The only steam I have is the one coming off my head when I'm gaming 🗿

Makeup tutorial when?

"God, I miss those days" I think this a lot. When I was in my early 20s, I could drink coffee all day, stay up for 72 hours, eat what ever I wanted, eat tons of chocolate, drink soda....and now in my 30s I feel like garbo when I overeat, I can barely tolerate coffee/soda/caffeine in general without feeling nauseous/getting a headache, a serving of chocolate makes me feel sick and if I dare to get less than 6 hours of sleep I can barely function...and feel sick lmao. I'm glad I was recommended this video, it was very motivating. Listening to your struggles, I could relate to you a lot.

This is one of the best videos!! It was so real! Good job to your mom.

I love these stories. Let's go

Prayers for you and your family in Jesus Holy Name. ❤

Cool video! I bought walking pad. Now walking non-stop. Even watching your video and walking:)))

Good luck

Start 1 month

Laughing maniacally in the streets after accomplishing that run. I would be way too self-conscious to do that lol But you are an amazing inspiration :) Be kind to yourself. You got this!

Wow so proud of your mum for doing at her age ! Well done to her and well done to you for all the encouragement and support

Do you HAVE to use the F word in your first sentence?

My grandmother was Japanese and left Japan for America when she was pregnant with my mom. It is unbelievable how fixated she and everyone else in my family are on weight! My grandmother had a scale in her dining area, and I swear everyone of us would jump on that scale when we came over 😢. I have always been on the heavier side unless I starve myself, so I was also the one who stood out and got comments.

Your mom is right, it's okay to feel those negative and tough emotions.. such an important reminder. I feel like a lot of people, including myself, sweep their negative emotions under the rug and never get to process them. Because we don't process those emotions, we often hold weight of them. Thank you so much for this video.. it's so important of fully feeling your emotions so that they run their course and pass!

I take my dog to a dog club and the trainer took a group photo. Thats when I saw how gross I looked next to others. It was a wake up call and I am on my healthy path and here I am looking for inspiration

Your Mom is very wise! 💕

You look and sound great since completing your marathon! I’ve really enjoyed your videos since stumbling across your channel. Watching your journey has been a treat, so thanks for creating cool content :)

I don’t think it’s a coincidence that your wisdom arrived at a critical moment in my life. It’s a complete understatement to say that I really needed to hear your words today! Very well articulated. I’m so grateful to you for sharing this! You’re a real hero, Kit!❤

I needed to hear your mom’s wisdom so much! Thank you ❤

Your mom knows what's up! Love hearing your thoughts here.

I'm 72 living in the US. Although I'm subscribed to your channel I don't always watch every video. Something told me today to watch. I am blown away by the wisdom you just shared from your mother. If you had not been living temporarily with her perhaps you would not have made this video thus not sharing your mother's wisdom about negative emotions I'm learning from them instead of trying to avoid them. Been on meds for years been trying to get off of them because of the impact on brain health. I personally do not know you or your mom, but your mother has impacted me buy her wisdom she shared with you. Sometimes we can't see what is standing right in front of us. I've wondered about my inability to handle frustration and negative thoughts. But could never put my finger on it...I just tried to avoid them hence medication. Not one doctor has ever said anything to me about handling negative thoughts and frustration. A world away and I'm impacted by a woman I've never met or seen, your mom. I've been praying for help and didn't know what I was praying for but God did. Now I have to take the next step. That being said, I know that it's the current trend to call people bit.hes but it does no honor. One of the greatest gifts we can give others is the show of honor and respect. I almost stopped watching when I heard that even though I know it was a state a extreme distress you were in at the time. Others may disagree but it is their right. And you're all about truth and sharing. Just room for thought... Blessings and peace and thank you for sharing.

GIRL I’m at 196 rn, quickly put on 50 lbs in the last three years after high stress and a lot of loss and herniated discs/annular tears. I’m in pain every day. But started walking 15 minutes a day for the last month. I keep gaining it seems but I learned I have pcos. Time to move a little more and increase!

Kit you're seriously the sister I never had from another life. We think so much alike and you share such true nuggets of wisdom that I've either thought myself or completely understand and give me a lightbulb moment! Please keep up the videos, I love to hear your thoughts and hope you're doing well. And I'm enjoying both of the stoicism books you mentioned previously! Take care and get good sleep now 🩷🩷🩷
