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.”

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.

@Healing Angel very true! My youngest daughter is 14 and just finished her freshman year of high school! There’s been a couple people who have called her “fat” just to be cruel and to offend her or hurt her feelings which my daughter is not even close to being fat or overweight by any means! She weighs about 130lbs and there’s nothing at all wrong with that! She’s a healthy weight and size! She is absolutely beautiful! A gorgeous girl! (I wish I could post a photo!) but those cruel words people have said have gotten into her head and truly made her believe she is “too big” or that she’s “fat” and it breaks my heart that she doesn’t see what I see or what other (good) people see! I’m not only saying it because she’s my daughter….I’m saying it because it’s the truth…she truly is a very beautiful girl! But she doesn’t see it! Because those words have cut her like a knife and made her see ugliness in herself. Those bullies need to learn what their words cause! I pray all the time for a kinder world …

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.

[@nelilexaba]

So you ate every four hours and when kind of foods did you eat

[@Mcgrandma]

@@nelilexaba During my four hours, I eat lots of salad and low carb with protein (omelets are my favorite). Then an hour later I eat a good sugar (stevia or monk blend) dessert or a fruit or chocolate smoothie. I’m not a purist though and add canned whipped cream on desserts. I just try to wait until noon and stop eating after four. I also walk about four miles a day four days a week too which helps my brain and weight.

[@mermaiddiyartist8119]

I’ve been eating like that 10 years haven’t lost much. Haven’t gained.

[@lnayler]

@@nelilexabaomg 🙄 can you not read? She’s not eating every four hours! She fasts the entire time except for four hours during the day. She only eats during that window of time. Example, get up in the morning and don’t eat until 1pm. Eat low carb foods until 4pm. Then fast until 1 pm the next day. And repeat!

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.

you have to be able to burn calories off by exercising. But some don’t have the time to put that exercise in. If you don’t then you need to eat less is my opinion.

[@petrockmom8792]

That kind of thinking is what starts eating disorders. People should eat what they need to, when they need to.

[@blitz091]

@@petrockmom8792 Understanding when there is a need to eat less should not lead to an eating disorder. Eating disorders are the perfect storm of ignorance, impatience and often pre-existing mental instability. Systemically assessing your maintenance calories, preparing healthy meals at home with quality ingredients and steadily reducing calories to a small, sustainable deficit is the epitome of ordered eating and the key to progressive fat loss. I agree with the sentiment that people "should eat what they need to, when they need to" but more often then not this is actually people "eating what they want to, when they want to". Very few Americans have any sort of clue what their caloric needs are or what the calorie/nutrient content of foods are. Also, unpopular opinion, but overeating is disordered eating as well, especially when it results in obesity.

[@christinec.7917]

@@petrockmom8792 I disagree. I eat a smaller amount of calories due to having a sedentary job, so I don't get many burning calories in. Food disorders are more of a mental thing than just food. There's issues most of the time behind it. I have been eating this way for a while and I don't have a disorder

[@avagreen1080]

This is not sustainable. Your body needs more food to function. Your energy, mood, organs...everything will suffer. Which will then put you in the classification of an eating disorder.

[@ellerose7485]

[@rickynotestine9963]

I did the same thing. I was eating under 1000 calories a day and lost 60 pounds. It’s not sustainable for a long period of time. I lasted about a year and a half. I hit a plateau at around 175 pounds but still had belly fat. I’ve gained 25 pounds back because I increased my calorie intake but still stayed away from bad foods. I’m stuck and don’t know what to do because I’m not going back to starving myself and also exercising either doing cardio or lifting weights. I’m looking into HIIT and a meal plan from my friend who’s a Marine Raider. Starving yourself and running for hours a week isn’t healthy or sustainable. I’m more depressed doing that than being overweight.
