arielle wht a surprise you vlogging...seeing you after a long time

[@baxter8it]

It's so refreshing to get on YT and hear "body positivity" come out of someone's mouth. Reiterating what another poster said, you are glowing. This has been fun for me, not boring.

[@artsygirlmarilyn6296]

Love it!! I lost 40 pounds quickly and have kept it off for a year. Right at 124 and so strong now and healthy. ❤loved this video. Thanks.

[@sarahhughes4023]

Hi Arielle, I’ve beeen on a weight loss journey since January 1st 2024, and I have lost 32lb-I can honestly say that all the benefits you mentioned of losing the weight are so true and are such an incentive to maintain the loss. I still have the same amount to lose again as I had let myself go during the Pandemic but I’ve made a start in earnest and I have not a single regret. Best of luck in your endeavours x

[@tracyeast3397]

Did I miss the recipe for the apple oat breakfast? or was there one?

[@iAmBeaTLes]

Made it! Can’t wait to try it.

[@carliewilson4390]

@@tracyeast3397 I'm also looking for this! I would love the baked oat recipe :)

[@buuurrrrppppp221]

If it works for some people then fair enough but that breakfast is 500 cals plus. I tend to eat more in the evenings so there's absolutely no way I could eat this amount regularly at breakfast time. Also I never deduct the calories burned due to exercise. If you're genuinely hungry then yes eat but we vastly over estimate the calories burned exercising. I'd say think of exercising as purely for mental health benefits rather than burning calories

[@iAmBeaTLes]

@@buuurrrrppppp221I have lost weight since I commented on this video … and have had tiramisu oats twice a week. I measure with a digital scale and I have it as 388 calories. And 21 grams of protein.

[@Rhiannon757]

I like how you explain everything and how you show what you eat and how you’re exercising. Without pushing a paid workout plan

[@MariaSmith-z9e]

Best thing I ever did was reading the book Woman’s weight loss secrets: the unspoken truth, after applying the knowledge I got from the book I feel like the cellulite is magically disappearing from my body

[@TriciaLaLonde]

So happy I found your channel. I am from Alberta - have travelled to France and need a do over trip. Going back and need to lose 20 pounds before I go. Your channel ticks both boxes!

[@lillycg9181]

this is so inspiring!! I can't wait to start putting into practice the 15 min walk after meals and add more veggies and whole foods to my diet! I also need to try that cottage cheese bread!

I am so happy that the your improved fitness and nutrition have had such a positive impact on your back pain!💖🥰

[@johannaengman2594]

I think you are doing well. This is just a tip not criticism. I would look into the ratio of protein/fat/carb and make sure you eat enough protein. When you are on a calorie deficit it tends to make you lose muscles and more protein can help you maintain or build muscles.

[@devonnajackson]

Love your videos! Seeing your journey is so motivating

[@moniquefink-y2u]

Congratulations…🎉 Just a reminder, you shouldn’t mix anything while on the scale…It deregulates the sensors.

[@michellemartinov6267]

[@EmilyEmilyEmily01]

This is awesome results! I noticed a difference in your posture in the first few weeks. I have never been an active person so it's a constant struggle to find something to get me moving. I got a walking pad but even with increasing the speed my gait feels so awkward! Idk if it's just my back/balance issues or the width of the pad but I am going to try again this week.

[@Ariellelaparisienne]

Yes I can absolutely imagine how hard it would be to integrate a lot of physical activity if it’s not something you’re really used to - but for the walking pad, don’t stress if it feels a little weird at the start ! It honestly took me about 1 week to stop getting motion sickness 😂 and then about 4 weeks of consistent walking to feel comfortable walking without need to rest my arm somewhere for support. Take it slow and you’ll get better for sure ! ☺️

[@EmilyEmilyEmily01]

@@Ariellelaparisienne that's good to know! I have new shoes ordered as well, just for walking 🤞🏻 it will come together! I am also around 178 and aim for 150 - and stronger not just weight off.

[@SashaIlic-Boskovic]

what was the dessert at the 27 minute mark that you had 4 x that week? non-french speaking so not sure how to spell it :) tort-tort?

[@sophialw]

Nice video! Do you already have an exit strategy ready for when you get to your goal? 1200 kcal intake a day is very low and my worry would be that your body is going to adapt to those fewer calories. Meaning that your maintenance intake may also be significantly lower than you might think. Are you planning on reverse dieting or anything like that?

[@Ariellelaparisienne]

At the start I said I’m not on a 1200 kcal intake ☺️ im at approximately 2000 ! I’ve had weeks since this video where I just maintain the weight and it hasn’t been an issue !

OK, I got it. The wall doesn't let you open the fridge door open all the way 😂

[@aleenas9077]

How do you keep your calories at 1600 when you are so active? I'm so hungry at 1600 when I workout

[@Ariellelaparisienne]

I definitely eat more like 2000 I would say ! Because I’m so active I eat more to compensate for the calories burned. But generally speaking, I don’t eat foods that are super high in calories so I eat a lot of food, just foods lower in calories (a full plate of chopped veggies and tzatziki for example is extremely filling and high in fibre and protein but low calorie)
