My Weight Loss Story | how losing 60 pounds changed my life

[@TheGoofy1932]

I had no idea you struggled with your weight. I just thought you were one of those "lucky 🍀 people " like my sister who can eat whatever she wants and never gains weight. While if I look 👀 at a cheesecake I gain weight. So it has always been a struggle for me. Your story is so inspiring. 😭🥰

[@jilliebeanbrownie]

Same !!! Because your shape is imbekahble!!!! (Impeccable ?? 😂) but seriously !!! And I just started working out again after adding to the family and struggling to prioritize my own health. Thanks Beakh!

[@catspjs6229]

Same! I ate literally a 60 gram (I weighed it lol) piece of banana bread and gained .5 pounds. Don’t sound like a lot but when you work hard and make a slip those little pounds make a huge difference. I had my thyroid etc checked and it’s all good. So my body just sucks lol

[@stephanie-atarahrose.8149]

So many of us think that when we look at others

[@KetoCookbooksCorner]

*This video has reignited my motivation to take control of my own health and make meaningful changes. Thank you for sharing your incredible journey!*

[@eileenrose6595]

Bekah, as a Disney lover, I’ve been watching you for many months now. Although my kids are grown and have children of their own, I love seeing how you and your family enjoy Disney world. Although I am a 70 year old grandma, my story is similar to yours in a way. In 2021 I decided I was tired of being obese and my health was definitely in jeopardy. I started eating and working out and strength training at the gym very similarly to you and it took almost 2 years but I am proud to say that I have lost 70 pounds and I am healthier and stronger than I have ever been in my entire life. Thank you for sharing your story. I hope it will help other women to see that they can make a heathy change too.😀

[@StephanieMagicalTravels]

What a beautiful story and loved that you pulled it back around to all of us being called to be a steward of our bodies and that it’s a temple of the Lord and we should treat it that way!! How inspiring!

[@evilbunny526]

I’ve been binge watching your Disney videos the last couple of months, then I realized it’s your personality and your authenticity that make me like watching you. Thanks for sharing a piece of your life with us. Please keep posting these non-Disney content!

[@rachelsteele6656]

Love that you are being authentic in your new videos and letting your light shine! It’s so refreshing to see some share about their faith on the internet in such a natural way.

[@WemettSarah]

I am one month into my weight loss/ health and wellness journey after struggling with unexplained infertility for 2 and a half years. Your story gave me a lot of hope and encouragement. ❤️

[@noelcarter2100]

Wow, the Lord is always on time ❤ I’m in a season of struggling with my weight. I had a miscarriage feb of 2022. I’ve fluctuated a lot since then. I loved your reminder that the number on the scale isn’t our identity but who we are in Christ 🙌

[@richardburchett]

Thanks for sharing. This sounds so familiar. From a guy's perspective, it also happened for me when I was late 20's and started my office job. I gained weight fast and just thought it was a part of getting older. It wasn't until we were expecting our first daughter and I was shopping for life insurance that a blood test showed high cholesterol. It scared me to think where I would be in 30 years if I kept going down the same path, so I read up on it and followed everything that was recommended to lower cholesterol including what foods to eat and exercise. I lost weight so fast I couldn't believe it. Truthfully, however, when I reached my lowest weight, I looked unhealthy. At one point I was 135 pounds at 6 feet tall. Keeping off weight can't be the only goal. I just didn't have muscle mass. I added more weight exercise and changed my diet to get balanced calories and more protein. Finally I looked better and felt better. The first daughter is now 20. I keep the same mentality and at 50 I still feel energetic and youthful. It's a great lifestyle to have fitness as part of your priorities and it serves you well for life.

[@jacitucci]

I haven't finished the video yet but I just wanted to say despite the flack that Beachbody gets - it truly did work for me and encourage me to get out there to do classes, hit the gym, etc.

[@Melanie62389]

I also love beach body. Mainly Megan Davies! First time I’ve ever enjoyed working out and seen progress in my body composition. It works for me!

[@patm95]

As someone who has always worked out his whole life, I love to hear these stories. We are only as capable as we believe we are. Congratulations on your weight loss. I hope your message is an inspiration to others!

[@juliesughrue1736]

Wow Bekah, this video was so unbelievably helpful. I related so much to your story, especially when it comes to the slow and gradual weight gain that comes with a desk job. I had my daughter in the fall of 2020, lost a good amount of the baby weight, but now it’s back on…and then some! I’ve been motivated lately to make a change, and this video was a little sign for me to keep going. Love your channel and love that you are incorporating more of these styles of videos too ❤

[@CheyanneRamirez]

I love these new videos! Especially this one. Thank you for being so vulnerable. I am struggling in my own weight loss journey and it’s comforting to know I am not the only one.

[@sadiedunn5826]

Love your heart and your story! Had absolutely no idea you had a weight loss journey, you are so fit and confident now I wouldn’t never guessed! Thanks for your vulnerability and sharing with us ! 🫶🏼

[@Tookyclothespin]

Thank you for sharing, this came at a much-needed time for me. My second child just turned two and I’m in the worst shape I’ve ever been in and feeling so discouraged and hopeless. Your story gives me hope that I can achieve my wellness goals. ❤

[@Aisha.The.Traveler]

Thank you for this. I struggle with my weight but I believe God is calling me to do what I need to eat healthy and workout and get to my goal. 😔🙏🏾

[@Ididntwantayoutubehandl]

This was very encouraging Bekah. Thank you for sharing. ❤

[@summerearnold]

Bekah thank you so much for making this video and being so vulnerable. I have been a subscriber for a little over and year and always enjoy your Disney videos as I grew up going there as well. However, I love this new direction you are following God’s leading on. The daily vlog was great so uplifting to see a Christian sister loving God and serving her family. God bless you and your family!

[@slark3493]

You go girl! I just got some bad health news and need to lose some weight. This was really encouraging to hear your story. Thank you for sharing, my family loves watching your channel. You’re a blessing!!

[@genellw18]

Thank you so much for sharing Bekah! I have been watching your Disney videos to help me prepare for my trip this summer and I was telling my husband how I enjoy your light and kindness that radiates through everything you say! I know God’s light when I see it! 🥰

[@BekahHart]

Thank you so much ❤️❤️❤️

[@emilyvadner6407]

Thank you so much for this video, Bekah. I'm another Disney mom of a toddler, and I've been struggling since her birth with finding the motivation to make the change I need to in order to feel like the best version of myself. I needed this today! ❤

[@hopeformeyettrumbull8858]

Happy for you!!! I hope and pray this is me by next year!!

[@alexisk5628]

Love this! This is so encouraging for me after struggling with my postpartum body for the past four years and wanting to be stronger and fit to keep up and play with my kids despite my current lack of core strength. Definitely inspiring me to try my workout plans again.

[@jessicacook1249]

Love this! Can you share more about the simple meal plan you used to get started?

[@pamelapackard4665]

Thank you for sharing your heart and your journey with us. I am a 59 year old grandma and have always struggled with my weight. I feel hopeless.

[@kayleejackson7978]

My favorite video you’ve made!! It’s something so many of us struggle with. Please make more with maybe some what I eat in a day examples! Love your channel ❤

[@daniellejones2719]

I loved this video! And what a coincidence that you posted this on this very day because today is the one anniversary of my weight loss journey. I’ve lost 38 pounds! Looking forward to your next video😃

[@tonyagriffin3995]

Thank you so much for sharing your story. You have no idea how encouraging this was.

[@ScottKS14]

I had looked back at some of your older videos and saw you had lost some weight. I don’t like to comment those things because I know it’s very personal. Thanks for sharing your journey. I am on a weight loss journey as well and this is so helpful. Congrats!

[@lorrisell1]

Yes Ma'am!!! More of this ❤ Thanks for sharing a part of your story 🫶🏽

[@nituhamid6328]

I had no idea you struggled with your weight! I thought you were just naturally fit. Thanks for sharing and motivating!

[@allisonbarton5525]

Thank you so much for making this video! You introduced me to Sadie Active and I love the app! I've used it for about 3 months now. Understanding that protein fuels our body and lifting heavy will never make me "bulky" were true lightbulb moments. I'd love to hear more about whether you are strict with your macro counting or what your meals look like.

[@katherinedeliberatefare]

I'm really glad to see this change in your channel. I'm going to re-follow you now. Thank you for making Christ your focus.

[@morganleedavis]

Thanks for sharing! I love all of the new (different) kind of content you’re sharing!! ❤

At times I feel like we are kindred spirits! Thank you for sharing your heart. ❤

Really appreciate you sharing your story so authentically ❤️ I was encouraged today by this!

[@jennifersqueglia1265]

I am going through a change like this as well and I am glad you shared your story. Thank you for being an inspiration.

[@meganblankinship]

Wow, definitely needed this video today. Thank you for sharing 🧡

Great video, Bekah! Thank you for sharing your journey & being an inspiration for us to want to be the best version of ourselves! You look great and radiate happiness!!

Thank you so much for sharing your journey with all of us

[@irenea7987]

Amazingness! Every Day Choose To Try Again!!

[@ferncurtis2437]

Just a word of encouragement…your video popped up and I prayed about whether to watch it and the Holy Spirit said ‘yes’…I had no idea you were a Christian. I’ve subscribed. God is using your testimony. When I started working in ministry I was a healthy weight…although I did have fibromyalgia and that has always been debilitating. I completely neglected myself…I coped with the trauma I would listen to from others by comfort eating and gained 7 stone in total and my disability stopped me working. So far I’ve lost 44lbs and God has made it abundantly clear that I need to look after myself…from what I eat to my skin care regime…I’m important and this is a season to get my house in order. Thank you for having the courage to be vulnerable and obedient 🥰

[@mallory_t6513]

Loved watching! Thank you for sharing. So encouraging to hear your story.

[@dawnbeinlich2390]

Great video and great inspiration! I'm on a mission right now. I used to be VERY athletic...played sports from elementary school to college DIII athlete. Did 6 years of CF...got pregnant and stayed active throughout...my son is 2.5 yrs old now and I've been trying EVERYTHING and just can't seem to get to where I want to be. I've been through Transform App, 1st Phorm, and now onto BODi (mostly for home workouts being a full time working mom).I'm looking to get back to muscle building and dial in that nutrition (macro counting). Thank you for being REAL and not sugar coating the journey!! With all these new weight loss shots out there like ozempic and wegovy, some people are looking for that quick fix... but losing weight isn't just about the scale or how the clothes fit, its about the mental & physical journey we take to get there and the lessons we learn along the way to help us better ourselves in the future. When I'm ready for a step up (aka my son goes to preschool) I'll have to check out that app. Great addition to your Disney content bc you are so much more than just that!

[@susannahellis3035]

Loved this vlog! So encouraging and I love learning more about some deeper parts of your life!

[@camillemitchell301]

Thank you for the inspiration! I also graduated/got married in 2015! Currently at the heaviest I've ever been and pregnant with #3. I have gained way too much this pregnancy and I'm not due until January. But this has inspired me to try to make better food choices/exercise and really step it up once my baby comes. Thank you!

[@hannahriggs1434]

Loved this! Thanks for sharing another part of your story!🤍

[@arianekegolis9461]

Thanks for sharing your story. I am hoping to find encouragement to start my weight loss journey.

[@glorytoGodloveKristen]

Loved this! Thank you for sharing 🩷

[@tachacruz]

Whoa!! Omg I could cry. I feel like this is my story and I am currently working on getting stronger. I did gain the weight that I lost though and so I’m currently at a maintenance phase per my nutrition coach. But I’ve been so frustrated bc my pants are tighter and I am just ready to be in a deficit again but am waiting until the beginning of next year for that. But this was just a reminder to me that this can’t be my idol. I need to take care of myself but not let it control me.

[@emilydeisler1133]

I had no idea! This has been so encouraging because before I knew I thought, I want muscles like Bekah lol! I've been on a similar journey 5 months in and would love to know how many days you exercise then and now. Looking at building muscle now that I feel like I've established healthier habits! Let your light shine!

[@cherylm9805]

Thank you for sharing - your journey is very inspiring and I'm going to make that change too!

LETS GOOO!!! Good Shit. I just started my fitness journey again. Posted my 2nd video on Wednesday. Keep being an inspiration

[@ErickaAdventures]

God's timing is always PERFECT! Lately I've felt myself slipping from my health goals and your video just gave me so much motivation to turn my focus back on my diet and exercise. Thanks for sharing your story! :)

[@allibeemomlifefamilyadventures]

Thanks for sharing! I’ve recently started getting my life more organized so I can prioritize my health too. Definitely inspiring :)

[@janethayes1908]

Would love to see a video on the meals you ate while you were losing the weight!!! 💞

[@BekahHart]

Just shared a “what I eat in a day” 😍 All similar meals to what I ate during my weight loss journey!

[@JNM1009]

LOVED this video! My husband and I have been wanting to start making some changes with our diet but it’s so overwhelming! Especially with a picky toddler in the house. I also want to start an exercise routine. Just feeling like I’m slowing down in general. Time to make some changes. This has inspired me to start making the changes. Thanks for sharing!

[@carolinedorothea1854]

Thank you so much for sharing this is how I feel right now myself!!!! I feel stuck and I dont know what to do.

[@sarahm.5850]

Hi Bekah! Love your content! Would also love to see a follow up video on maintaining your weight loss and fitness with your Disney trips. Do you still work out? Do you eat whatever or still focus on nutrition a lot? :)

[@SarahLV212]

I had a baby this year and I am currently struggling with this! I would love to see some of your favorite healthy meals! Thank you!

[@suzanneborton]

I’ve watched your old videos so I knew about your journey and have wanted to hear more- I really enjoyed this! I’d love a nutrition-focused video where you show us how you’re currently counting macros. (And also how often you work out! Do you do any cardio or all strength? I’ve been trying to ‘make the switch’ as I’ve always done the cardio thing- it’s easier!- but I know that strength training, especially as I get older, is more important! I have my ‘5s and 8s’ here at home!

[@Ttcalisthenics]

You talk really well behind the camera. I was really interested in your story

[@BekahHart]

Thank you! ❤️

[@michellelynnemn]

Love these new videos you have been putting out!🎉

[@karacoops1]

Yes! I always thought I was just getting older; our body changes. I was extremely active in HS and college and I also ate Anything I wanted and didn’t gain a pound. It wasn’t until I started my office job that I started to notice a difference. I didn’t recognize myself. Turns out, I do need to make some changes. Thank you so much for sharing your story! Can you share more about your meal plan? Also, how often were you working out in the beginning vs now?

[@daisies4444]

Well done! Very inspiring!

[@MaddieMinneapolismouse]

This was very encouraging ❤ can you share your simple meal plan you used?

[@BekahHart]

Im so glad! When I started out in 2019, I followed the container system with Beachbody which really allowed me to create my own meal plan with foods specific to my preference ☺️

[@Jcislord1860]

God bless you!! As soon as you said the word Lord I immediately subscribed. Jesus Christ is lord!!!!!

[@emilysolomon5977]

Not me tearing up??? So happy for you!

[@cvskult]

thanks for sharing your story. I have beach body but it is hard to get a routine down and stay motivated. But i'm so sick of hating how I look after baby number 2. Can you share more about your meal plan and what you ate this is where I'm having a hard time to get started.

[@BekahHart]

I totally understand! I I started and stopped so many times before truly going all in. With nutrition, I started with the container system with Beachbody. It really helped me visualize how much food I needed to be eating. Currently, I count macros. I’d be curious if that’s a video everyone would be interested in seeing! ☺️

[@jayneestrycker7453]

Yes...please make a video about counting macros👍😊

[@MsSarah171]

Yes! A video on what you did first and what you do now thx for sharing your journey!

[@jackierj]

New viewer and this video was nice to watch. I saw you to go to Disney and I’m a huge Disney fan! and wanted to know how do you stick to a food plan at the theme parks? 😊

[@BekahHart]

Thanks so much for watching! ☺️ During any kind of vacation, I give myself grace with following a meal plan. I try to make healthy choices by prioritizing protein and lots of veggies. I do allow myself to enjoy the occasional dessert, or cocktail ☺️

[@justinecreegan8760]

Hi! Thanks so much for sharing! I’m curious how long the Sadie fit workouts generally take you? I have been working on nutrition since January, and am ready to build strength! I am interested to try I just have to get it done in an hour :)

[@svr6833]

I graduated and got married in 2015 too!! AND I had SPD when I was pregnant!!

[@user-qc3wk1tv5b]

Hey Bekah, I’m in the beginning of my weight loss journey and wondering if you would STILL recommend Beachbody (Bodi) to a beginner who’s trying to get started with their weight loss? I don’t want to buy a bunch of stuff, just looking for fun/ challenging workouts

[@magicallyMk]

Could you possible share where you found the simple meal plan/nutrition plan you followed?

[@angelalane6004]

Hey Bekah! Can you do a video walk through on how you book through the dvc website? ❤❤

[@preppylilprncess]

Regarding the Sadie app-is there an at home plan? And any recommendations for must need equipment.

[@BekahHart]

Yes, there is an at home setting. You will need dumbbells and bands for this program ☺️

[@megangonzales9975]

Do you mind sharing your age? I've gained 60-70lbs since 2015 too, but I'm a mom of 5, & in my late 30s. I feel like it's so much harder the older I get.

[@BekahHart]

I’m 30 ☺️ It’s absolutely possible to reach your goals at any age! 🙌🏼

[@vvmarie9922]

I really enjoyed this I want to start working out and be more healthier,, when I was in hight school I had a eating disorder and now I'm a chunkeir I'm not liking we're I'm at health wise some thing needs to change

[@MeGru514]

Have you ever had to deal with bringing the (bad) snacks in since having a little one around or do you make sure her snacks are healthy as well? I’m struggling because I have a very tiny 6 year old (30lbs) who has struggled with weight gain her whole life and her doctor has always encouraged high fat and calorie intake so to do that we’ve had to have some not so healthy options around and it’s so hard to not give in and eat them myself.

[@BekahHart]

For the most part, Ellie eats all of the same foods that we eat. It definitely comes with its challenges though since she’s still a picky 3 year old 😆 But I would say start trying foods that are high in protein and fat but still “healthy” (I don’t believe any food is unhealthy, just not nutrient dense). Foods like peanut butter, avocado, cottage cheese, and yogurt ☺️

[@rolandabradley6193]

What was your simple meal plan? Was it beachbody? I've been trying weight watchers and just have been struggling. I am at my highest weight ever (even more than I was 9 months pregnant with my daughter) and just feel awful...tired all the time...I need to do something else besides weight watchers I think. They use alot of sugar alternatives and sugar free and I'm not a big fan of that either. I have about 35 pounds I would ultimately like to use but also need muscle too. Thanks for your video.

[@rolandabradley6193]

Also, are you releated to Nancy Taylor (who used to do videos for VIPkid? You remind me so much of her.

[@atala55]

Would you mind sharing the meal plan you used??

[@BekahHart]

I started with Beachbody’s portion control program ☺️

[@MsSarah171]

And which Beachbody workout program did you start with? And I’m with you……breaking a toe is the worst pain!

[@BekahHart]

I started with LIIFT4, probably my favorite program from BB 🙌🏼

[@karinauribe8301]

Thank you

[@kristinmichelleyt]

What was your meal plan source?

[@BekahHart]

I started out using the container system with Beachbody to track how much of each food group I needed every day. It was an awesome beginner’s resource to visualize your food. Currently, I count macros and create my own meal plan ☺️

[@kristinmichelleyt]

@@BekahHart Thank you!

[@krenae302]

I had SPD as well! It was AWFUL!

Do you have to pay to use the app?

[@BekahHart]

Yes, it is a monthly or annual subscription.

[@judyp4421]

What food plan did you go on?

[@BekahHart]

When I first started in 2019, I followed the container system with Beachbody, and customized it with my own meals and foods I liked. Later on, I switched to counting macros (that’s what I’m currently doing as well) ☺️

[@jamiehurst4875]

Would you post a video on examples of what you eat?

[@sarahwetzel1856]

Love this video. Revelation Wellness is a nonprofit that I love! They use fitness as a way to share the gospel. They have a podcast you can take walks to or free workout videos!! All while speaking life over you. Just thought I’d share cause their content is so fulfilling for me and Christ centered.
