[@lisashipman9387]

I love that you brought up the fact that alcohol is poison. I’ve been sober for 15+ years and feel like I’ve been able to live a whole other life ❤. Please share more of the positive affects for you.

[@Dreamyvinini]

congrats!!

[@KONN1182]

So agree. I’m almost 5 years sober and have never looked back

[@AkA-sw7rl]

Loved your thoughts about motherhood! Not only are there women for whom getting pregnant is not easy, there also women who simply do not want to have children. It’s fine. It‘s their live. It‘s their choice. The exact same way that it is a very personal choice to have kids. It is not that the planet desperately needs more humans. It’s a personal choice and no one else’s business.

[@melaniemerkosky]

Thank you! Yes!

Thank you so much for addressing the motherhood topic and acknowledging that everyone’s life looks different. This is why I love your channel, you share your life and manage to make so many of us feel included. 🥰

[@emilys1045]

"The act of comparison will be the end of you" I immediately wrote that down and will be putting it on my wall in my room to read every day! It's so true and I need to remind myself of that daily!

[@audreyzeis3781]

Thank you so much for being so candid about this journey, it's been so incredibly inspiring! And especially thank you for being so frank in your discussion about topics related to having/not having children. As a 30+ woman without children, I have so many people in my life that minimize my time, my personal or professional accomplishments, or my choices simply because I don't yet have children. It's so refreshing to see another person be honest about children not needing to be the main defining point of a woman's life. Also lol I know you hate running but HGW has inspired me to officially set up my half marathon training schedule

[@justinecallaghan3708]

Amen!!! The one thing that reassures me about my choices are the fact that there are other women feeling the exact same way. Why should not having children mean our accomplishments are less meaningful? Sometimes I feel that no matter how successful I am, it will never be good enough for society as motherhood is seen as the ultimate achievement

[@a_tots]

I can just simply agree with everything you said. Especially for me, living in the Balkans, where not having children equals to the most vile sin and the worst failure. People, please stop doing that!

[@jamiekillian4965]

I have been taking care of my business partners granddaughter for a month. I never had children of my own so a month was about Max for me. I enjoy their company but I have no intentions nor did I of having my own. My animals take up enough of my time that I don't think I could give the attention to a child anyways. Wouldn't be fair to them. My mom and I are grateful we have no grandchildren. We still have fullfilled lives anyways.

[@jamiekillian4965]

[@monikaness6139]

My therapist the other day when we were talking about my own personal HGW journey said “you’ve told me what you want less of… less drinking, less junk food, less “stuff”, less filler in your routines… But what do you want more of?” and knowing that more didn’t have to be tangible. More time to relax the brain (I’m a teacher full time so that’s hard for me and something I need to work on), more quality time with those you love, more movement… and then prioritizing those mores and knowing that more doesn’t have to mean busier, cluttered, etc. I think one thing I’d love to see from the HGW Series are to see more of your non-tangible mores! We know the program, working out, and the walks are all a part of the overall process and I’m so thankful for the inspiration! I’m just curious to what the other things that fill your non physical cup are and think that also falls into HGW and your overall health 🥰 Love this series so much and it was exactly what I needed this holiday season!

[@maquichiaarmas7147]

Your openness and transparency is so refreshing.

[@justsloth91]

Thank you for sharing your journey with us! Love that you addressed the women without children topic, as a woman in her early thirties who has chosen not to have kids, this has always been a touchy topic for me. Its reassuring when you hear other women talk about not diminishing accomplishments based on whether they are mothers or not is very helpful to remind yourself you are not alone. I think the era of taking everything with a grain of salt and using your own knowledge, intuition and feelings to whether or not you believe, follow, copy, disagree, agree etc is upon us. We are responsible for our own lives and that weight shouldn't be put on influencers or celebrities etc. Yes they hold power, but so do you. Trust you know what's best for you without thinking everyone knows better. Take care of your community, spread love and kindness and most of all take care of you, however that looks.

[@katelynroche5691]

I would love to see you continue #HGW for 2024! Your journey has been so motivational and I really appreciate your authenticity. I hope you continue leading by example and staying true to yourself.

[@Kikididi001]

OMG, Allana you have no idea how much this means to me. I've been suffering from depression for the past 2,5 years and believe every day in life feels exactly like that. I can't sleep well nothing changes my mood or the way I feel i don't even remember how my life used to be before that. So watching this video gave me a hint of hope that I can fight that feeling and I can change my life. SO THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR MAKING THIS VIDEO AND SHARING THIS WITH US ❤❤❤

[@jajajimmyify]

10000000% agree with the low intensity exercise! It was mindblowing to me the change that I've seen with switching to pilates/barre with weight training. I never thought I could become a girl who could find consistency in working out at least 4-5 times a week, but now I see that it can be sustainable! It was totally not sustainable when I was also doing f45 and Orangetheory, and beating myself up if I didn't burn x amount of calories, sweat enough, or if I felt too sore or painful to go to a class I booked. Low intensity for the win! It's helped keep me going this #HGW along with my meal plan, and the changes i've made are forever changes, partly in thanks to you, Lan! It feels so cool to have you and your little community virtually in my corner ❤️ 😭

[@jenniferarredondo3318]

Allana!! You are absolutely THRIVING. I’ve watched you for years and years and have never seen a more authentic you. You’ve been an inspiration to so many people throughout your fitness journey and we can’t thank you enough for sharing. I’d love to see/hear more about your tennis lessons in 2024! I used to play in high school but haven’t since and I’d love to get back into it but don’t really know where to start. Anyway, love ya and keep doing you!

[@melissawilson8416]

Girl, the interrupted REM cycle is the WORST. Bravo for getting up and powering through!

[@rachelhegarty3306]

I’ve absolutely loved this series- I’m a PT and my god it’s so refreshing to listen to an influencer giving correct and legitimately helpful advice to people who may not be as educated as how to begin their health and fitness journey ❤ Just continue whatever you’re doing because I’m loving every video 😂

[@jessicaperez1805]

I’m a fellow PT and couldn’t agree more!

[@lilianchace7423]

I love your take Allana, at the end of the day, the will has to be there. There's always a reason to not do a multitude of things throughout our days/weeks/lives but when something is truly important we find a way to make it happen. I have 3 children, work full time and still find the time when I can to have a fitness and wellness journey. It most certainly looks like 45 mins vs 3 hrs but our lives look completely different and I think that's beautiful. Thank you for this HGW series, I've really enjoyed it!!! Sending love for MA

[@SamanthaGray-k9i]

Sober girly here, quit alcohol just over five years ago because of all the negative effects. Love that you're talking about it. Would love to hear more about how HGW has been with Dan along side you. My husband is not quite as committed, and would love to hear more about how Dan feels about it all. Thanks girl !

[@carrie-leehurzeler7413]

I am LOVING this hot girl winter content. I just want to see more of it, nothing in particular but just more. Have a wonderful Christmas! ❤️

[@rachelcratsenburg9412]

Honestly loving the content as it’s been, especially this month!! Really appreciating your honesty in the struggle sometimes- I’ve had a difficult relationship with exercise in my life and have found your content so motivational and inspiring in a way that isn’t way over the top.

[@zennawilberg6378]

Health and fitness can be such polarizing topics, so thank you for your candor and dedication to this series! I really appreciate hearing about your lifestyle changes and personally find HGW super motivating. Please keep it up 🥰

[@SweetXDarkchild]

I love how open and candid you are! This actually felt like a close friend talking about something they are passionate about and I really respect that.

[@_lorie]

I truly can see how much your fitness regimen has changed not only physically, mentally (from what you share), but also the relationship between you and Dan being able to share it together. I'd love to continue seeing you incorporate exercise/ routine clips or talking bits in your upcoming vlogs for HGW as you've been doing so. I'm sure, like others, seeing you wake up early and getting your grind started has been so motivating.

[@annawunderlich1535]

Super encouraging and relatable hearing you chat about being a woman in your 30's who does not have kids and the stigma that can come with that. Love the motivating lifestyle content that doesn't shy away from addressing real topics like that.

[@Mitchelle370]

Thank you so much for sharing your HGW journey. I am a mom of 2 little girls, 5 and 11 year old and for a long time taking care of myself was always an afterthought. Next year, I am turning 40, and I am doing my own version of HMW (Hot Mom Winter) and following your channel especially your HGW content has been such a huge inspiration for me to keep on keeping on. After having my second child, I embarked on my own health and wellness journey and I have lost so far 85 lbs. Next year, I am hopeful to be #fitandfaithful@40, and be an inspiration to my little girls to take care of our bodies to continue taking care of people that we love! Thank you Allana for your thoughtfulness and generosity, and for giving your subscribers a chance to win these amazing giveaways to jumpstart their own version of HHW (Hot Human Winter)! All the best to you and Dan! Be blessed! 🙏🙏🙏

[@janine_rose]

Thank you for so many things about this HGW series. Thank for being honest, thanks for giving us a new view of what working out can be, for consulting professionals and sharing so many resources, for showing so many new things to incorporate in ways that are best for us. I've loved this and found this so so so inspiring. I'm also not a high intensity girly - I struggle with asthma and had an ACL repair at the beginning of 2022. Nothing prepares you for how much regret you feel for not moving your body to the best of your ability every day until you can't anymore. Longevity has been my goal since surgery and I just can't tell you how affirming and inspiring this series has been. Thank you so much for LANMAS! :)

[@GabriellaBordo]

Saying a massive prayer for this one! I’ve been creeping diy body since I’ve witnessed the most magical transformation in your life and spirit since joining the program! This is such a kind and thoughtful gift. So much love going out to the winner either way🙏🏽✨ I see you, out here changing and inspiring lives on our little corner of the internet. In 2024, I’d love to see a fresh update of you favorite fitness outfits per workout type etc. I can NOT GET ENOUGH of anything and everything to do with health and wellness from you. I, too, am a huge fan of Dr. Huberman and also Dr. Amen. Between the two, I’ve been able to completely change my life and mental health. Thank you for the spotlight on priorities and trial and error! Eating before I work out makes me so so nauseous too! You’re not alone. So much love.

[@vinccimoraless]

Crossing my fingers for you girl! :)

[@monique.robert]

I literally just talked with my therapist the other day about letting go of trying to fit into a box. What works for you and feels good for you (double checking whether or not a decision is coming from your ego or external source and barring any major medical advice) is right for you! You get to choose for yourself. ❤

[@robynm3896]

Thanks for making this HGW series! I’ve been following you for a very long time and it’s been so nice to watch you evolve over the years. I’ve signed up with DIY body and am set to start in January after being inspired by you. I also just found out I’m pregnant so I gotta let my coach know, but I am even more motivated now to make healthy choices for myself and new lil’ fam more so than ever❤

[@carmen_daniela]

People need to understand that throughout life, we evolve. We grow out of certain things and learn to love new things. As u said, everything is trial and error. What works for someone doesn’t need to work for others. Honestly I love the fact that you are keeping things human and presenting the joys and struggles to keep a balanced life. You choose to be honest about it, which I and sure many others appreciate. Thank you and happy holidays!

[@Amoafoa]

Allana, this is so so kind! Honestly blown away by how thoughtful the giveaways have been ❤️

[@alexandra230]

Absolutely unreal giveaway. You have to be the kindest, genuine, most generous, most THOUGHTFUL content creator out there. Thank YOU 🙏

[@precedingWinter]

ALANNA we are so proud of you and love the transparency you’ve given us during HGW. A supportive community has been created and it’s so rad. Keep trying everyone ✨🫶🏼 day by day

[@ronjaka91]

I resonate so deeply with what you are saying in regards to listening to your own body & intuition. On the same path atm and I'm also trying to navigate all the different information out there and ultimately find a lifestyle that's right for me. Thank you Allana!

[@adilah8940]

Would love to see how someone can start from home and be consistent with it! I’m not much of a gym girl and I love your home setup. I have these strides where I’ll keep at it for months and then just quit for months 🥲 so would love to hear your tips! You’re killin it and are so motivating!

[@mariae9]

I believe it helps tremendously to have realistic expectations. My goal is to move every day (unless I'm sick), but I don't force myself to do a super strict workout routine. If I really don't feel like it, I tell myself I just have to do the bare minimum, which is to *move* in some way, so I might go for a quick walk, do a couple of exercises or a 5 minute workout video. Most days, I'm motivated to do more after that, but otherwise that's fine as well. Consistency is more important to me😊

[@holdinourown]

Baby steps!! Like the poster above said, start with just moving every day. And put it in your calendar!! Don't put pressure on it, look at it as self care

[@cailynmichaan]

So refreshing to hear your thoughts on doing what's right for you and not getting overwhelmed/pressured by the information overload we all get around health and wellness. I also completely changed my views on alcohol after hearing that Huberman episode and it changed my life - physically and mentally! 10/10 recommend people listen to it. I would love to see more HGW content, your go-to routines, and post-workout hair/makeup looks. I am making 2024 my healthiest year yet (who's with me?!). At the end of the day, it's about listening to your body, discipline, and prioritizing future YOU. ❤PS This giveaway is the best one yet! So incredibly thoughtful and generous! You're too good to us!🙏

[@abigailtheresaa]

I’ve been loving the hot girl winter series! I’m just getting back into my fitness routine and it’s so empowering to be dedicating time each week to myself and my health. I’d love to see some meal prep guides in this series - I’m always looking for packable meals ❤

[@caramorasco]

I too cannot eat prior to cardio. I feel like I’m going to puke the entire time. Do what works for you! This gift of health is so incredibly generous! Thank you for this one!!!

[@arpunbajwa]

More vids on Hot girl winter!! I love the positivity around this topic and the fact that you are celebrating this and these videos are motivating!!

[@Vkg998]

Shut up!!! 4 weeks with DIY BODY! That’s amazing! I could feel your excitement and passion behind this and it’s amazing! Congratulations on your overall success!

[@melbasantos3994]

It has been so motivational to see your passion.

[@anhchloe]

I really appreciate how thoughtful the giveaways are this year. This 2023 LANMAS was the one I connected with most. HWG: would love to see you share how you stay so disciplined and not HWG related: would love to see an empty videos soon!

[@jessicatate3092]

I love seeing the realistic journey of your "hot girl" journey... the goals, the progress/check-ins , the tweaks, the highs, the lows, etc... just showing the progress in a realistic way.

[@Lauuriish]

I've loved Lanmas so much as usual I don't want it to be over! This giveaway is amazing. Material things are great and bring joy as well but this one brings change and physical and emotional health and that's so important and such a huge huge gift. Thank you so much for your generosity both with your time and your giveaways. Sending love to you all xx

[@sarapierce1361]

A good addition for the HGW series could be how you stay consistent when you travel and also some stretching/recovery/low intensity workout content!

[@jennifermarguerite]

I have been a long time subscriber that recently found my way back to your channel. I too, am in a HGW and I've been utilizing youtube to help pull new routines and healthier habits together and then I found your series and I feel like this is what I had been looking for! I would love to see some future HGW videos on navigating social events sober (It's always a goal that I end up forgetting or breaking, I really want to reduce my alcohol consumption. I never drank too much before the pandemic, now it feels like a weekly regular and thing to do with friends). I would also love to see some HGW content on doing all these things while balancing personal hobbies, family, friends, running your own business. It is a lot and the struggle is often very real. Love your videos and hoping to be your lucky winner!

[@Cuppachats]

Allana I never comment on videos but I had to on this one. Firstly you’re hilarious I so appreciate your humor and your approach to all things in life is AMAZING and I totally relate. To. It. ALL!! Everything you said about all information not personally applying and finding works best for you, totally agree! There’s information overload but finding what feels good for your body and what works for your life style is vital. Thank you for being real at the beginning and showing your tough morning, it’s so hard seeing highlight reels everywhere then when I struggle it feels so isolating. Thank you. You’re amazing! I’ve loved you for years and seeing your evolution over the years is astounding! Go girl! I hope 2024 is the best one yet for you both!! 🎉♥️

[@hmannnn09]

Thank you for addressing the greatness of low impact! I get a lot of resistance from people who think I need to be sweating day in and day out, but I believe the best workout is the one you enjoy! My Apple Watch just died this morning, this giveaway is amazing!!

[@catherineo7753]

Your transformation as the video went on was really lovely to witness. (Shows you that sometimes you really can fake it until you make it .:) )We all have those days when we are just riding the struggle bus - and seeing that you have those days too just makes you even more relatable. Your fitness journey is also so inspiring. Thank you for bringing us into your HGW world - and for inspiring us to join you.

[@tamaraiacobucci9460]

These have been some of my favourite videos you’ve done. I also became very passionate about my health and fitness as I entered my early thirties, the last few years. You literally mention the same ideals I do about health and fitness and I’ve also discovered the Huberman Podcast and various other podcasts and content creators in this area. So, thoroughly enjoying what you’ve shared thus far. I’m 2024, I’d love to see more gym content (workouts, split etc.), product recos (fitness and health), and daily routine videos and how your life has changed since prioritizing your health and fitness. Lastly, nutrition and diet videos chatting through macros, cals etc. obviously knowing everyone is different but I like hearing what has worked/is working for others.

[@megmotley89]

Thank you for showing us a day when you’re not feeling your best and you’re being open about it, but you’re still trying. That authenticity is appreciated and makes me feel better about having those days too.

[@Yahnellie]

Omg I could cry, I would be absolutely elated if I won this giveaway. I’ve looked into DIY body, but not knowing if I can afford it has held me back. This would be a huge benefit for me. I’m also reworking the way I view my health and fitness as I’ve spent the last year and a half just eating and doing what I want. It messed with my gut tremendously and I’ve been going back to eating basic Whole Foods finally this last month. I also just celebrated 6 months sober-I wasn’t an alcoholic, but my drinking was more than it’s ever been the last few years and quitting has felt so amazing. I’m ready and really serious to get into my fitness journey and really transform my life. I’m turning 30 in June and my mind and body need this positive change.

[@erinleighpil]

I'm surprised by the negativity about HGW. It is so relatable and I think you've shown a realistic interpretation for people to take and weave into their own lives. I've been on a really positive path this year with my health but hgw has kept me pumped for the winter. Happy holidays and thank you!

[@payaljagwani]

Your giveaways, your low intensity yet determined lifestyle, and you my beautiful allana, all inspire me so much!

[@carlycallan9895]

Thank you so much for sharing your journey!!! Showing the good, the bad, and realistic has been extremely refreshing when we are always shown the "perfect" on social media these days.

[@Donnamcable]

Wow! This was the best message going into 2024. I understand the shift that needs to take place to be serious about your health and wellness. What a great role model you are in this space. This is a universal journey that we can all benefit from. Keep up the good content. I’m rooting for you!

[@moshime00]

I would just love to see your #HGW series continue!! I've struggled and been on and off my wellness/fitness routine/lifestyle change for what feels like forever and your content has been very inspirational. Maybe some tips of just balancing healthy lifestyle with stress/being very busy?

[@jessical6605]

Thank you for sharing your journey and your thoughts along the way! It is so inspiring and motivating to see HGW and these positive habits you're implementing. I've been inspired to get back into running and it has been so fun! I really appreciate you talking about how everything works differently for everyone. The topic of motherhood can be really delicate for so many people, especially young women, how and when we choose to have children or a family. It is a very personal decision and recently in the US it has become a more scary decision because access to lifesaving healthcare is being taken away. Thank you for talking about it and for the reminder that comments can come off as hurtful or judgmental. Same goes for when you choose to eat or what you eat, relationship with alcohol, etc.

[@lisapiazza6]

This is the most befitting giveaway of the year. Love this journey and content - I’ve loved your channel for years, and I feel like the evolution of beauty to health is so natural as we age together. I’m so grateful because this has been my natural progression as well- focusing on heath and longevity. Lots of love ❤

[@Dreamyvinini]

This was very interesting! 2 things: - thank YOU for the talk about kids (i don't want kids, i love my niece & nephew but I don't want any myself, and some people tend to be "oh yeah, you got promoted? Well you have time to stay late / oh you've lost 15kg? well i mean you have time to workout and cook for yourself" and YEAH that's true but also, does it really take away from my efforts? my motivation this year? the hard work i put in?), - re alcohol: i am SO GLAD i hate the taste and never succeeded in getting into it (i've tried of course, mostly to fit in, but i find it digusting) xx

[@brandihouston6461]

I hate that you are getting negative comments!! You are so sweet and genuine that it literally breaks my heart! You are amazing and brighten my days! Thank you for being such an inspiration!

[@rileye1364]

I love your honesty and perspective regarding #HGW Everyone has different bodies, schedules, lifestyles, etc. Like you said there’s no one-size-fits-all for health and wellness. Figuring out what works for YOU is so important.

[@natashaveras5121]

I found a video of yours about styling and I just couldn't stop seeing all of it. I love your classy style and how humble, sincere and genuine you are. The end of the video was a totally a surprise, but it is so fortunate because im in my healthy journey too and everything you were saying its 100% true. I would like to know how your life has change with fitness, what differences you can tell and how your life has improve it for the 2024. I wish you the best.

[@gosiakidd5646]

The reason I can relate to you is not through what you do in your life, but the whole lot of wisdom that you possess and make known to us in a chat like today’s. Maybe I’m lucky to have learned and understood that vital message loooomg time ago - we’re individuals and it’s best for us to cater individually for our needs and wants. And there are others who can inspire us. I’m definitely inspired by you even though i know some of the paths you’ve taken aren’t for me. There in lies the beauty of life. Take care!

[@AbbyLee261]

Allana, this giveaway is insane! Thank you so much for being so generous!! You truly feel like a best friend from a far!❤

[@kratikasharma4107]

I love this…this is just so thoughtful! Like we say health is wealth…and taking that step towards good lifestyle is truly great life Changing experience.

[@colemairi]

Alana, this has been one of my most favorite episodes. It touches on so many things that so many empathize with. Not only just days where you feel 'grumpy', unmotivated, tired and just 'off' (Ah! The human experience!) - but also thank you for having the courage to speak up and spreading awareness as it relates to women that may not be able to have children, or don't wish to have children. Commenting consciously is so important. I tend to believe that people have inherent positive intent, and don't realize how hurtful or disheartening they are being. Words can leave scars. People's comments affect hearts they may never see, know or understand. May we all practice opening our hearts beyond our own life experience. ♥ ....and I AM TOTALLY ON BOARD with HGW!!!! THANK you for the inspiring content!!! It is so motivating, and look forward to your updates. I haven't started yet, but will be starting this week. WML (is that thing?!)

[@kellypatterson2226]

Watching while getting my steps in - I have been watching you on KZbin for years and I am enjoying your content more now than ever. I respect you for showing up as your true self, consuming your content on all platforms truly feels like catching up with a friend especially as a Canadian girl - it is all so relatable. What an incredible give away, someone is going to be so lucky to receive! Can’t wait to see what 2024 brings for you!

[@micheladellaquila6699]

I cannot believe we're already at the end of 2023 ahhhhhh! For HGW2024 I would love to watch a week a workouts from you, your favourite workout clothes and shoes, and just more daily vlogs of incorporating fitness into your your busy day!

[@NicoleLogsdon]

I don’t often get passionate in KZbin comments… HOWEVER I COULD NOT AGREE WITH YOU MORE!!! In this life, the only person to 100% advocate for yourself is YOU!! You have to do what’s best for you ALWAYS, regardless of the noise of social medias and others opinions! I have recently embarked on my own health journey that looks slightly different than yours, but that doesn’t make me less proud of you!!! We have to lift each other up regardless!!! Thank you for always being an outlet for me-from a health prospective and an entertainment perspective. While I don’t know you personally..I do consider you a friend ❤ PROUD OF YOU!!!!

[@rocioogando5638]

Thank you for mentioning the fact that trying to do all the things we see online is barely impossible. Being healthy and fit it’s a beautiful journey but it can’t be overwhelming sometimes. This giveaway is a dream 😍

[@meredithmacmillan8838]

My partner and I have been doing 5am workouts for roughly the last year or so and it is so difficult waking up some mornings haha, but I SO appreciate your transparency, openness, and honesty about your fitness journey AND talking about what it means to you! 2024 here we come 💪

[@Vanessa.s.9]

Really appreciate your common sense and thoughtful approach to health and wellness. You’re so right - most of us aren’t professional athletes and we don’t need to live or train like it, there’s no need to “optimize” every aspect of our lives.

[@alicjaopiela1567]

I have started to take my health and fitness much more seriously this year and this series has been so lovely to see. It’s nice to see people taking care of themselves and it not being seen as selfish but something enriching from all the comments left on these. thank you so much for being vulnerable and sharing your journey! x

[@Jonnaberg]

I’ve been following you for years now and although I’ve always adored you and your genuine personality, the amount of growth I feel you’ve had is very inspiring to me!

[@bryonyhershfeld8464]

I honestly always enjoy these random, insightful chatty videos of yours. I love what you said about confirmation bias on the internet and how we should only use what we see in this information-overloaded digital space as inspiration and tailor it to what works best for us, individually. I needed to hear that!

[@bisleysgirl]

Your giveaways are so generous!!! As someone who has always struggled with body image and not being naturally athletic, exercising in my adulthood doesn’t come easy. I’ve loved watching your HGW videos, I find them so inspiring and get me moving.

[@margaretbehre6461]

#HGW is my favorite thing you’ve ever started. I love it and I love the way you’re going about it. It is absolutely inspiring. I want to hear more about the struggles and the positive impacts you notice. Thank you!

[@margaretbehre6461]

And I’ve been watching since you were at University. I’m with ya, girlie!

[@jenniferdwilson1]

Thanks for touching on the motherhood topic! I said out loud "amen sister" when you said you're not going to let the facts of not having children at this time for whatever reason diminish your accomplishments! Love this because sometimes we're made to feel "less than" if we don't have kids for whatever reasons. Love the honesty and transparency and understanding of your HGW vlogs! ❤

[@jessagarcia7095]

I have never commented on any KZbin video ever but this video and giveaway specifically is so exciting and generous. I’m getting married in June 2024 in Vancouver and where I’m from the sun sets earlier and getting the motivation to stay active is getting so so difficult. #HGW has seriously changed my mood during these darker months and got me out of a negative headspace of starting an unrealistic diet weeks before my wedding. I got a walking pad to get my 10k steps in and im smashing 3-4 days at the gym despite my job as a social worker. I appreciate Allana talking about respecting that we all have different lifestyles and what works for you may not work for someone else. It’s been so motivating and also inspiring watching all the #HGW videos. When I look and feel my best for my wedding I legit am giving all credits to Allana and HGW! Lol x

I'm looking forward to working on having more peace of mind. Learning to manage my anxiety and taking better care of myself physically. I have an autoimmune disorder and my mental health has really taken a toll on my physical health. BUT I have slowly been working on my health and trying to build better habits that are sustainable. I am soo looking forward to reaping the benefits of putting in the work in 2024 the further I get into making my lifestyle change! Thank you so much for the motivating content!!💛

HGW has completely changed my perspective on health and fitness - I’ve always been a relatively sporty person but have never been a gym gal and honestly used to kind of resent people who were really into the gym. But it was because diet culture and fitness ‘bros’ never resonated with me - it’s so aggressive and intense and weight loss focused, but your focus on just feeling good in your body really hits home. I’m now genuinely excited to focus more on my wellbeing in 2024 and make it something fun and exciting rather than daunting, so thank you Lan, real pleasure to follow along with your journey ☺️💕

You’ve inspired me so much!! I have a daughter and solo parent when my husband travels and I had so many excuses of why I can’t be healthy. I can always get steps in - walks and I have a treadmill! And I LOVED hearing the you don’t have to be dripping in sweat. I thought the same thing!!!! But I have been doing low intensity weight lifting and walking. Plus all this started up when my husband and I stopped drinking. No more hangxiety, hangovers, better sleep. More motivation!

I Can understand how people feel about things being un relatable when you’re watching influencers. However, I feel like you did a great job explaining how not everything that we see has to apply to us. Which in retrospect makes absolute sense but it can be very easy to feel like you HAVE to be doing everything to this “perfect standard” or it doesn’t count. Your little chat was very heart warming! I do hope you’ll do more of these in the new year! ♥️ Happy holidays!

What an amazing giveaway!! So agree with your reflection on peoples comments. Do not let others to diminish your achievement. Your body composition has changed because your work hard for it. If someone chooses to watch tv instead of going for an evening walk (maybe take your kids with you?), that's fine. We all have choices in life, we really do. You have been such a motivation, thank you😘

[@azinz6207]

When the first and only thing comes to mind to boost my energy and set me in a better mode is watching your videos, over and over again, Allana, it shows how much I admire and appreciate you girl. LOVE U ❤

[@user-mg8yy1md8t]

I love your HGW series, and I love your talks about it. Would love to hear more about what you foresee changing in the future- ie types of workouts, home gym etc

[@jaimegardner9824]

I have loved this hgw series and watching you evolve. I remember when I started to watch you I was very into fitness and you talked about how you tried so hard to be as well and it’s been so great to watch you evolve! This is really all I want for the people in my life too. And damn! This giveaway is amazing and so thoughtful !!!!!!

[@sarahthompson2028]

Please keep this up! Been following you since day one and I feel like my life is less interested in makeup and beauty and consuming way more healthy and wellness content. And you’re my favorite so this is very satisfying for me! ❤

[@Cristina-km6cf]

Lan, i just wanted yo say that I LOVE your approach to fitness. Accepting the fact that your preferences, style, needs and lifestyle have changed and finding ways to work in tune with that to achieve your goals is so inspiring. I often feel like if I choose a way (going to a specific class, eating a specific way etc.) means that I must stick to that for life even if I notice it does not work for me anymore and seeing you accept changes like that is both motivating AND reassuring in a way. Big love and I hope 2024 brings you all the lifestyle improvments you wish for!

[@marianasr]

Love love love that you are speaking more freely about your thoughts and perspective on different topics. Love to see this evolution in your channel. Would love to see more of these thoughts not only on the HGW matter but anything that you feel like it needs to be shared with your community.

Allana, thank you so much for addressing the motherhood issues. As far as I can remember I have always wanted to become a mother and when I learned at age 15 that I could never have children it broke me and 20 years later it is still a very sensitive subject. Thank you for being compassionate and such a kind human being. I also love the transparency and honesty in all of your content, that is so refreshing especially when it is so much easier with social media to embellish reality.

[@bybrittanybrown]

This is SO relatable. Those days when you just can’t seem to get out of your bad mood are killer. I’m so glad you’re opening up about your health/wellness/fitness journey more, and plan to continue. I started mine in September of this year, and though only 4 months in it has changed my life. I still have a long way to go, but I’m excited to see where it takes me. This giveaway made me tear up. The fact that both you and DIY body are offering something like this that can change someone’s life in such a positive way brings me so much joy. ❤

[@christinesirmalis5719]

We truly are the captain of our own life and have all the power at improving our wellbeing. As you say, we do only have one body and we must do our best to cherish it. That may look different for many people and it all take time. We must give each other grace/compassion and you show yourself that which is very motivating. I am on my own journey and have been determined to get my body at its prime. I have loved following you for years now and I feel like I have grown with you, it truly means a lot that you put in so much work into all these videos. Happy Holidays ♥ Ps. Would love to see videos on your favourite workout clothing, body care post-workout and if you could develop "challenges" that aim to implement new habits.

[@theamanteamente]

Been a viewer for at least 5 years now and this is by far one of the most transformative lanmases. Following your fitness journey after hearing about your continuous curiosity in the space and body goals it’s so incredible to see you on the other side of it like this. I started taking health and wellness very seriously a few months ago and am so happy to feel like I’m growing with your content beside you! I’d love to see more on the mental side of HGW in terms of newfound confidence and integrating new styling choices as a result of it. As someone who’s also hoping to feel the most healthy and confident I’ve ever felt, thanks so much as always Allana ❤️

[@Mariel_flows]

You have been inspiring me so so much with HGW. I "met" Huberman through you. I would love to see more of the struggle and how to be stronger than it. I loved how you began this video it made me feel I'm not alone. Thank you. And for everyone reading, I wish you a happy and healthy 2024. This has been a difficult year, so I can only wish you happiness and health ❤

[@valywilliams2343]

I honestly really do appreciate you taking us through a “not so great” day because we all have those. It’s also super refreshing to hear the reminder that we are not all the same and that’s OKAY!! Excited to see more health and wellness content from you in 2024! (Selfishly would love to see more cooking videos for inspo.)

[@victoria_ronning]

It's such a delight to listen to how you reason about life. It really resonates. Wish you an epic 2024! x

[@carlaroca2300]

I just love how open you are with all of this, how aware you are of everyone's lifestyles and challenges... I think you're doing so good just by spreading a healthy health and wellness message. And THAT giveaway OMG 😭I would cry if I get a month of DIY body. I have been very lost with what to do exactly in my fitness routine, what exercises would work the best for me, etc. Have been dying to try it since you first mentioned!! 💗 Still can't believe #Lanmas is ending so soon!

[@leakotting2340]

I just love how honest you are about this journey! Keep it up as is, just sharing your whole journey and seeing every aspect of it is amazing. Thank you so much for this opportunity!

[@marthak0701]

OMG OMG what a giveaway!!!!!!! Yessss sirrrr!!!! 🙏🏻🙌🏻 No matter who wins, you’re awesome for doing this. Investing in ourselves is the 2024 vibe we need ♥️♥️♥️💫💫🙌🏻🙌🏻 Good luck to everyone and happy holidays! ❤

[@margaretbehre6461]

These are my favorite videos of yours ❤️ I love the vulnerability and candid discussion. I also love seeing people who are on the internet and whose lives we see on the internet to be very glamorous and fun and hearing about their grumpy mornings and how they plan to discipline themselves to get out of it. I feel it. I feeeeeeel it!
