A Balanced Weight Loss Journey │75 SOFT RESULTS WEEK 2

[@cristisidwell2931]

Jess, I have been with you from the beginning and I feel like we are on the same journey! We lost together and we gained some back together and now we are losing together again! Thanks for being real! Thanks for being there and for doing this channel! I don’t have the local community you do so this channel is my community!! You have honestly helped me lose 80 pounds!! 30 more to go!! Thanks friend! Keep it up and thank you!!!

When she hit her lowest, i felt she was getting cocky about that she knew everything. I told her the hardest part is to keep it off and be careful. She cockily replied back I know. But she didn’t know obviously, thus the big weight gain. Instead she should have asked for advice on keeping it off. Please seek advice from people who have kept off the weight not her so that you don’t ever have to gain again with her and lose again with her.

Jess, im on the carnivore diet. It is so freeing not to track macros and stress... I have done every diet just like you. You have been an awesome source of encouragement this entire journey. We can do this!

[@thequeen-xz9jw]

You are so relatable and I've been watching your videos for years.. I've lost100 pounds but also gained it back.. But it's part of the journey and I'm glad I found your channel to kinda have a friend to do this journey with me

[@downsizingontenacres.5927]

You reached your goal a long time ago when you realized that this just isn't a simple fix. This is life and it is constant ups and downs. You're doing amazing! Succeeding by being positive and not giving up on yourself. You look great! But more importantly, you feel great!

[@kishabeard683]

Thank you Jess for using the negativity as fuel! Your friends will continue to follow you and wish you well! Keep up the good work!

Love love love this new update on your progress So very motivating Thank you Jess

[@emilyhops2566]

Jess, yiu may have in the depths of your mind a memory of me talking about British eating plan slimming world (online only in the US). I'm on it as is my sister - she has lost 4 stone since Jan. It isnt fancy, restricted, or hard, and its something we can do with our families for life. We are both food addicts. The premis is basically meat and 2 veg! Cooking from scratch, no UPF. You dont need it, but others may like to look it up. The 2nd thing i wanted to suggest for you is BRAZILIAN JIU JITSU (get your kids to go to)!!! I've started, and its LIBERATING!!! Best workout ever, too!

[@BrendaHerrig-ys9jp]

Jess, I've been watching you for a long time now, and i think you are amazing. Thank you so very much for your encouragement and for keeping things interesting❤️

[@michelleficca3804]

Am l Missing something, there is only one or two older videos on overactive fork to fit. Will it be updated soon?

[@LoveWinsMovement]

I don’t think so … This died pretty quickly.

[@michelleficca3804]

@@LoveWinsMovement ok thanks for letting me know. I was wondering

[@nancyhickman9789]

I went back to your 75 Soft video and I will start now as I do most if everything except the 45 minutes of exercise, starting 10/24/2023

[@hillbillyscotsman]

[@guylainewillard6411]

Good job! Jess keep going 🎉

[@suewilkinsonmorrobayca6590]

Thanks for sharing!

[@pambeck3220]

The changes in your body are showing. Thank you for being here, Jess

[@nancyjackson2279]

Open your eyes

[@Sherrie7117]

Congrats on your loss!

[@MarykayOsoski]

Go going girl!! Proud of you

[@nancyelizabeth8364]

This was a great video would love to know what is an average of carbs as we know the protein plus you probably are in ketosis as your exercising a lot plus eating whole foods great work

[@P56hlty]

I clicked you about a year ago and you still look the same but you still encourage me by not giving up

[@bogilles777]

Jess, I appreciate you 😊

[@Ofamiliamia85]

Awesome quick question do you have like a max carb limit?

[@celesteinman56]

Yup yup yup. I'm so like giving up. Well, today. I'll try again tomorrow.

[@brendahoward4510]

So Happy for you Jess your doing great!! That is also so cool you have people there to do this with❤️

[@melg9921]

When are you uploading on the other channel. upload was a year ago. You have shown us the good the struggles and the achievements you have made over the years. I nearly reach my goal then I closed my mind to the food I was putting in my mouth whilst watching the scales go up to my heaviest weight. I have moved on to a new chapter and have purposely everyday made a decision to eat right, meal prep, no tracking, no gym just food because you cant out train a bad diet. I'm in my 7th week and have moved the scale in the right direction. Thank you for being roar and honest about the struggles and never hiding your uncontrollable times of eating. The real stuggles on the journey of achieving your goals. My next step is to exercise whilst continuing to eat keto, but i will do this in my time by moving more. Thank you❤❤❤❤

[@julieswhirled9532]

Cockroach or not, I feel like you took my advice and checked your ketones and glucose. You also finally got yourself some real accountability in real life so that should work better for you like I had suggested (not that you’re reading the comments). Would be interesting to see you meet your goals this coming year.

[@amyfrey7467]

I’m trying the Gary Brecka 30/30/30 challenge for 30 days. 30 grams of protein within 30 minutes of waking, followed by 30 minutes of steady state cardiovascular exercise. I’m at goal but love challenges.

[@LoveWinsMovement]

This is a fantastic challenge which I do FREQUENTLY! It’s so easy and provides a great kick off (especially mental strength) in the morning.

[@LivingWaterwithSisterGlenda]

🎉Congrats on your 8 lbs loss.🎉

[@Lisa-wp1ff]

Congratulations. When did you start 75 soft? I seem to recall just hearing about it last week but on FB you said you had been on almost three weeks (19days) so I am guessing Oct 1st ?

[@nancyjackson2279]

Honeymoon euphoria. Keep it up this time. Health is so important for family.

[@angelabowman1614]

🤗👏🏻👍🏻 you can do this Jess! I'm glad you have a "Community/support system" . I believe that if you communicate your thoughts and feelings to "Family and Friends" and tell them that you really need their support and encouragement.....that you would do better. And reach your goals. You know that it can be done.....I have a friend that lost 97/98 pounds, just eating Right.....no exercise ( she was 62 with bad knee joints. Had both knees replaced over a few years time.) Unfortunately she had several people in her family die in a few years time ( her husband of 48 years, "heart issues /sepsis due to a kink in his bowels plus blood clots in both of his legs, his poor body just shut down"then her Only sister/sibling, health issues....then less than 5 months later her 51 year old son. Heart attack.) So, she began Emotionally/ Stress Eating. Gained most of it back. But......she knows that she could do it again. She just needs motivation. She is 13 years older than me, like an Aunt or older sister. I hope that you keep getting better and keep "shrinking and feeling better"! 😊

[@brookesmith1550]

I feel like we have heard this all before from you! You will never be successful if you don’t make this a forever lifestyle change, not a “challenge”, a this diet or that diet, 75 hard, 75 soft. You need to just change the way you eat forever that is the only way to keep off any weight you lose. You will be on this YOYO forever if you don’t.

[@angelabowman1614]

I'm glad you are Ignoring those Cockroaches.....I felt "irritated" for you reading some of thei comments! Rude people.....my Mom always told me "If you can't say anything Nice the Don't say Anything at All". A simple encouraging comment would have been better! People don't need knocked down when they're floundering. They need More Encouragement! More Support and A Kind Word or two! 😘😊🤗🙏🏻👍🏻

[@suannesparks6106]

Have been a member of your channel for some time but just getting back to really trying to lose weight due to some personal issues! Please give me a sample diet that you follow in a day even though I understand everyone may be different.

[@sharkchicky]

I looked at 75 Hard but knew it wasn’t doable for me. Yes, I’ll be doing 75 Soft, it’s close to what I’m doing now, just more structure.

[@xvanilladropzx81]

👍👍 omg I didn't even know you had another channel!!!!

[@amandaathanas4027]

Glad you’re having less coffee. Caffeine raises Cortisol, which then raises Insulin and Glucose. So even when doing Low Carb, your Liver is making its OWN sugar, so your body acts like it’s not on a Low Carb program. Caffeine also causes poor quality sleep, which then raises Ghrelin (the I’m Hungry Hormone), and lowers Leptin (the I’m Full Hormone). CATCH 22: The low quality sleep makes ppl reach for the coffee the next morning in order to function. A merry-go-round of caffeine, poor sleep and weight issues. The social interaction probably fulfills something psychologically that you were previously filling with food. Social interaction probably burns more calories too.

[@lucindam.pires-ribeiro5447]

Not for everyone! I sleep like a log and can have coffee right before sleep and it doesn't affect my cortisol.

[@wannaduckfin]

You are doing great! And you don't need to be so rigid a pure keto👍

[@luzdiaz6375]

Yay Jess good for you ❤

[@maggiemay5618]

Ketogenic woman. Real inspiration

[@celesteinman56]

I gave up because so many people had said to me "Who cares. " It hurt and I have no support.

[@davinahicks6764]

Bravo, Jess!!! Keep going. You're on a roll. It's all about support. I am glad you have close by buddies. ❤❤❤ Cockroaches... I busted out laughing! Ain't that the truth. Have another awesome week.

[@karenlanteigne]

Sending you ❤❤❤ for all of the cockroachs 😊

[@Bee-of5xz]

I have not seen your post for quite some time. I reckon that you were busy. You lost the weight. It shows. Congratulations! I’m at the gaining phase, still jugging along.

[@lesleachelf8507]

I would like someone to define "negative" and "cockroach/troll". Seems like ANY opinion that isn't cheerleader-esque is spit on here. I have read many USEFUL comments that were boo-ed. If you're going to have a public channel you SHOULD read the comments and be competent to ignore the true trash. I am unsubscribing today. I wish you well, but, since anyone who doesn't agree with you 100% is a cockroach, I'll take my viewership over to some place where my thoughts are appreciated. Truly, you're missing a lot of helpful folks. Good luck

[@miasgirls3]

❤💖♥️

[@lesleachelf8507]

@9:47 you say you're doing "strength training 1 hour a day minimum" and that doesn't strike you as extreme? Plus walks, etc? You frequently mention being pressed for time, yet spend that much time on something that is generally considered to be 20% or less of fat loss. While poo-pooing your foods which are the vast majority. Not really posting this for you, since I'm a cockroach, but for others seeking help here. Why is it a 75 day challenge? Why not not just enact daily permanent changes? An hour+ DAILY is not very likely sustainable. The real problem is that you're still looking for extremes, just not AS extreme. AND, real question, where do you go when you fail? Not doom & gloom, just can't see you doing that for the rest of your life. Failure to have a maintenance plan is likely how you gained back so much wt. People, you do NOT need an hr of daily strength training. You need SOME. You need IMHO a better eating plan. Very low carbs, enough protein and fat. You don't need veggies pretty much at all and the fact she's still including them so much is indicative of the issue. Does anyone think corn is good for you? I can't take Jess serious bc this is still another extreme. Oh, "laser focus" and "balanced" are pretty much mutually exclusive. Sorry to rant, but I was TRYING to find a reason NOT to leave this channel. I didn't. All the cheerleaders will be happy I'm gone. Anyone who's still reading: forget these timed challenges and dependence on scales. do what's good for you and MAINTAINABLE Good luck, bye

stop calling your kids silly. Silly has a bad definition.
