How to Lose 10 Pounds (My Mini Cut Explained)

[@kayleighb3051]

I lost 140 lbs, reached my goal weight and got pregnant after 10 years of infertility! I’m so grateful to have my son wouldn’t change a thing but I am struggling to lose weight postpartum. He’s 19 months and I have about 50 extra lbs that I’d like to lose. Like you say sometimes those last 10 lbs just aren’t worth going for so honestly I’d be happy to lose 40. I weighed in at 190. Goal is 140 but I know I’d start to feel good at around 150 and then could play it by ear. I know this isn’t exactly a “mini” cut. But that’s where I’m at. I just want to feel good again and have more energy to keep up with my toddler! Thanks for everything you share… posts, videos, the book! Grateful for the help you’ve provided me!

The only fitness guru I’d ever take advice from! Just love the approach so much. And that baby girl omggff I can’t 😍😍😍😍😍

He is sooo balanced in his approach. Unlike most (all?) the other influencers on KZbin/SoMe in this space.

[@saragentry5515]

I’ve been cutting for 2 years 😂 your videos have been so helpful! My CW is 195, starting weight was 265… goal weight is 165, getting there slowly but surely!

[@91frankthetank]

Nice!! Keep it up! That's awesome

[@Pinkflo363]

Just wanted you to know you’ve helped me lose weight twice!! This after trying during peri menopause. I thought was impossible. But you simplified the advice and i successfully made my weight goals. I’m very grateful for your videos. Thank you!🙏

[@zoroslefteye]

I’ve been stuck in a restrict/ binge cycle trying to lose the last 15lbs because I’ve been trying to get it done as fast as possible. You’re advice helped me lose the first 80 lbs and reverse my pre diabetes. I’m done trying to get it done the fast way, and going back to what works. I know it’s a long shot that you read this comment but Thank you Jordan.

[@marketingjen1020]

Started a mini cut today. I have 80 pounds to lose big picture, but this time, instead of going for 80 lbs all at once, I’m going to do it the sustainable way - for the first time ever. No more crazy restrictive diets. I’ve been yo yo dieting my whole life. I’m so grateful to have found your videos. I’m really hoping to join inner circle soon. Being a mom of three with two little ones (2 special needs) working from home and still trying to find ways to help my community around me… it’s not easy. But it’s doable. I’m doing it for me and I’m doing it for them!!!! I know I’m gonna have much more energy be more clearheaded after I get my health under control I have set multiple goals and divided them into a few mini cuts. First one starts today, starting weight 220 Goal weight 190 No set end date I am committing myself to 10,000 steps every day weight training three times a week I truly enjoy doing hot yoga so committing myself to that twice a week Eating 2000 - 2200 per day Thanks again for all you do! Congrats on your new baby ❤

Wow ...gr8 to hear...i too have similar weight to lose...mom of three..,😊...all d very best

[@androgynouscloud8726]

Hi! How's it going?😊

[@shahlakhan2]

Jordans videos are so clear, straight to the point. He’s one of a kind. Helped me so much to improve my relationship with food. Keep it up. Greatly thankful.

[@amandadunn4637]

I started my health journey in January (with a 5mo old at the time). Started at 228lbs and am down to 186lbs. Your content has helped/taught me so much ❤️💪

[@JenSugar]

I have not started a cut but I just wanted to thank you for the free content you put out. I have no doubt that your inner circle is worth every penny and more and hopefully I'll be able to afford it in the future. But for now, this content is so helpful to a person like me who feels trapped inside their heavy body. I love your heart for helping people and I just wanted to say it's evident. Thanks again.

[@sanskritisanskriti1945]

I started my mini cut 5 days after you did. My starting weight was 85kg and i am aiming to go below 80. That's it. I have been wanting to lose weight for quite some time now but the journey felt too long. But with this mini cut I just want to prove to Myself that i can do it, be it 5 kg or 20 kg. Thank you so much for being there Jordon ✨

[@kirstenway1673]

Love the simplicity of your approach! I am working on losing around 10lbs. Not in a hurry but watching what I eat and continuing my workout routine! Since the begining of the year, I've lost around 15lbs and so proud of that progress 😀

[@elliemakss]

Hi Jordan! Mom of three kids (had them a year apart from each other 😅) . Gained extra 30 pounds after my last baby. Lost 10 pounds during Covid and since then stayed the same 160 lbs. Inspired by your posts, decided I have time before Christmas to feel confident again and hopefully lose the extra 15 pounds I’ve been holding on. Doing strength training 3 days a week, steps are easy to do with three small kids , haha. Still learning on nutrition though, sometimes I can go all day not eating and then enjoy take out late at night 🫢 After a week, I weighed in at 156 but went up to 158 today. And I’m not giving up! Your posts made me realize that it takes time and that I can do it! Thank you for all that you do & congratulations on your growing family!

[@Updog89]

SO REFRESHING to see someone give evidence-based advice that is responsible, compassionate, and realistic. This is how healthy weight loss should be. Slow, patient and sustainable. No rush, no fads, no self-abuse, no pseudoscience, not driven by an endless insatiable vortex of vanity or self-hatred.

[@heatherwinn7802]

I started my cut last Monday and so far have stayed 100% consistent, even over the weekend, which was a huge win! Thank you for all of your tips and for tracking your cut, it has almost been motivating to see you going through the process as well😊

[@ilissakaye389]

Love these videos oh man. My mini cut started about two weeks following a fully indulgent Italy trip. Trying to get from 140 to 127 ish. Walking has been my best friend in Italy but trying to find moments during the work day to not sit is really hard- feel like i sit all day. I lift heavy 3x a week but feeling quite stagnant. Love your no BS approach to coaching - you put in work, you see results. Mazel tov on the babe!

[@jamiebrophy1561]

I'm about a month in on my cut and I am down 6.5 lbs. I started at 185 on my way to 150-155. I am not changing much what I eat but working on portion sizes by measuring food and tracking calories. I also have started doing more cardio (walking, dance cardio, Step and a little bit of HIIT.). I've done a cut before, not to this extent but after a few weeks I get into a routine and it seems to get easier. Your reminders that the scale will go up and down has helped me not to stress. I allow myself cheat days and don't stress about them. Thank you for that advice about remembering to enjoy yourself here and there... In moderation. So far so good.

[@marlenea.6677]

Wonderful and informative video! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us. Ps. Your daughter is the cutest!

[@geofflitwin9020]

Been cutting for a while and chatted with you through IG chat - started somewhere around 290 at the beginning of Covid. Down to 268. Your mini cut has been perfect to follow along and make sure I’m doing all I can to keep losing weight and not losing sight of my goals.

[@meghanbullinger6490]

You are so level headed and encouraging. I am trying to lose about 20 pounds and your words make sense of why i haven't had success. Thank you. You can drop 10 pounds. If you can do it than i can drop 20. I'm overweight

[@jessicaschovajsa9127]

I am starting now! I started losing weight in January. Started at 155 lbs with a goal of 125 (I’m short). I got down to 138 and lost momentum. I’m still exercising, but my nutrition isn’t great, I’ve fallen back into bad habits and am back up to about 143. I’m going to do a mini cut and try to focus on losing 10 lbs. Thank you for this video and making everything simpler. Sometimes this process can feel so overwhelming.

[@thiccletics]

You got this! 🙌🏽

[@danellelswick7792]

I have been on this butt kicking journey since January 1st, 50 pounds down so far but you have been so motivational to keep me moving and pushing myself to keep at it. I have started the cut as of 9.1.22 and my clothes are super loose now. Thank you! 183 now.

[@caylyndewindt3372]

Planning to start next week. 135, would like to get to 125-128 but also plan on being able to do more strength training and in the past the scale hasn't moved much so I'll be happy if I can lose a few inches over the next 8-10 weeks. I appreciate all the work you put in to your content.

[@laurahurn2533]

I started my mini cut at the same time you did. Aiming to go from 172 to 162 while maintaining as much muscle as possible. I find carrying a little less weight helps me move a bit better (and helps my joints feel better). Thank you for describing the “whoosh” that was really helpful! Definitely helped me maintain my patience in these first couple of weeks!

[@yvetteras1029]

I am on week 4 of my own mini cut, I am aiming for 5-6kgs. So far it’s been going good, your info on instagram really helps me understand better. So far I have lost 1.3kgs. I track calories except on weekend where I eat intiuntively and keep protion control and protein intake in mind.

[@leishaadkins2688]

I am starting mine today. I am inspired by you and I think I need this to get myself focused. Thanks for all you do! My starting weight is 274.8. I've been an inner circle member for a while but I struggle with consistency. My goal is 165. Long way to go but I'm not stopping! I've tried Weight Watchers for years and would lose then gain it back. Even made it to Lifetime once. But the last ten years have not been good weight wise. I've had health issues - breast cancer, hip replacement, 2 knee replacements, hysterectomy . I finally feel like my body is good enough physically to do this, I just have to get my process going.

[@arlenachuran5883]

I am casually working on a mini cut. I am a person who can't do the count calories method coming from a disordered eating past. I'm a postpartum mom who finally feels like I'm back to my normal self after having a baby eight months ago. Focus right now is 3 plates 2 snacks, walking and yoga ( I enjoy a lot). Looking start strength training because it's becoming more and more clear that I need to be stronger for constantly lifting and holding my baby. Currently 212 Goal 175-180 I really enjoy your content, and appreciate you sharing your family on here!

[@katiefilzen9156]

My highest weight from earlier this year was 211, I’m down to 195 and my goal weight is 165. I started going to the gym again at the beginning of this year & more recently have been being more conscious of my diet. Your mini cut gives me motivation to continue & I love your enthusiasm, positivity, and ability to simplify everything to seem not as daunting.

[@acbriccola]

i started my super mini cut today. i only need to loose a couple kilos. I just need to get my food intake in order. i do strength training 4x week and some walks. now i'm doing cardio 3 x week. thank you Jordan, and congrats to you and your wife! you have a beautiful baby girl :)

[@saurabhdeo1196]

Thanks for the amazing content Jordan! I started a cut yesterday as well, starting at 168 pounds and want to get down to 158 pounds. I couldn't agree more that consistency and sustainability is the right way to think about cuts. Also can't thank you enough for recommending walking as much as you do. I just moved to a city from the suburbs and I walk at least 10k steps everyday, which I can clearly tell has a positive effect on my physical AND mental health. I plan on sticking to that since I know I can sustain walking that much, and mix in 3 days a week of weight lifting, and an additional 2 days of running (I love running, I run 5k, 10k, and have run a few halfs too). The diet is the main thing I want to control (and what I've always struggled with since I am a HUGE sweet-tooth and love carbs and sugar and more sugar). I am going to start with eating 2100-2200 calories a day, which will put me at a 200-300 calorie deficit I think, and see where that gets me after 1-2 months. Thanks again for all that you do!

[@kellortan]

Thank you so much. I have been following you on Instagram for a while now and when you started talking about this mini cut, I knew I needed to learn more. On September 11, I officially started and weighed in at 152.6. Today, October 4th, I weigh 148.0. I would have quit from the yo-yo on the scale if it hadn't been for watching you. My goal is to get down to the range of 130 - 140. That is where I feel my best. I'm on my way! No specific time to get there, though it would really be nice to be in that range for my 15 year wedding anniversary, which is next August. Thank you for sharing your journey. It has helped me so much already. - Kelly PS - your little girl is adorable.

[@s.c.g.]

Hi decided to start my mini cut literally a day before you. Once I saw your Instagram post I was like OK this is a sign I’m doing this. I’m just so tired of always complaining but not actually putting in the work are actually doing what I’m supposed to do to reach my goals. I’ve said “OK I’m gonna start on Monday” so many times and then I don’t do it.🤦🏽‍♀️ I haven’t actually weighed myself because I want to go based off how I feel how I look versus what the scale says. ☺️

[@katebagshaw2952]

Watching your mini cut on Insta honestly has changed how i look at my weightloss journey. Thankyou!

[@candacecook2699]

Hi Jordan! I am 11 weeks postpartum and restarted my weight loss journey about a month ago. My starting weight was 236lbs, my current weight is 233lbs and my GW is 200lbs. I am weighing and measuring all of my foods (I really enjoy it!). I'm really focusing on proteins, which has been really fun figuring out what my favorite high protein foods are 👌. This video was awesome. It's so good to know I am doing this wirght loss thing correctly and sustainably. Thank you for being such a great support and tool to have available at this crazy time in my life. (two kids under two is wild!)

[@RamonOutdoors]

I started my mini cut at 189, currently sitting at 187. All I've done is what you're doing, eating small portions and not eating like a jerk. My thing wasn't wine it was soda and sweets. So instead of having 3 sodas a day, I'm switching to zero calorie drinks. Instead of eating 4 cookies I'm just having one. I've also upped my protein intake so I can stay full longer. It helps that we got a new smoker so all we want to do is smoke more meat and it's coming out delicious.

[@juliesullivan6791]

I've started a mini cut. I think I'm en point with training. Followed Jordans advice and now lift plus give time to zone 2 get 6k plus steps in and at least one HIIT session a week. I am starting at 11 stone 1 pound and I think I'd like to be a nice round ten stone! Good luck everyone and thank you Jordan. You've changed how view weight loss and exercise x

[@simranbakshigutierrez3334]

This is amazing info, per usual. I’m also doing a mini cut…I’m a mom of 2 girls who stayed home during the pandemic (no daycare and I can’t work remotely). I stress ate as well as “treated” myself more than I needed to. Now my clothes don’t fit and I can’t afford a new wardrobe. More importantly, I don’t like how I look and feel. So I bought your book and giving in to this amazing space that you’ve created. Thanks so much for it! I’m starting at 152lb and looking to go down to 135lb (focusing on inches so I can fit back into my jeans). 🙌🏽

[@courtneylester3359]

I’m doing tons of research on doing a mini cut. Your page has been a huge source of info for me on gathering my info so I have my ducks in a row before I start. Like you, I’m noticing my pants are fitting a little tighter. Only looking to lose 10-15 pounds but want to do so at my own pace and something that is sustainable. In my past I had a history of binging and purging, so doing things in moderation is super important to me. I don’t care if it takes 6 months, I don’t want to make myself feel so limited in my nutrition that once I hit my goal weight I break the hinges and go balls to the wall. I got a personal trainer at the beginning of the year and it was a huge eye opener to me wanting to gain muscle and get stronger and I feel better than I ever have, just have a little extra weight I’d like to see come off! Starting at 170, wanting to be down at 155-160.

[@Sports-fan04]

Started mini cut today….starting weight is 123 pounds, hoping to hit 118 pounds. Thanks for all your insight into balance! I’ve been a more extreme calorie counter and struggled to sustain these methods. Listening to your insights has brought so much light to the things I need to alter to make my journey more sustainable!

[@abbymiller5299]

I’m starting now! My current weight is 141 and my goal weight is 130. I’ve let my nutrition get sloppy so that’s my focus. Currently get my steps in Abs strength train 3x a week. Thanks for the info, loved the video!

[@madifleming5063]

I started a cut back in June! Lost several inches and took some intermittent diet breaks. Now I’m following you as I lose some more fat, not necessarily weight. Starting weight is 174, body fat is 31%. Goal body fat is 26% and I’d like to be 165 but I don’t have a specific number. I’m going to be following the 3 plates 2 snacks from your KZbin. My workouts and steps are being met so they’ll stay the same, just need to dial in the nutrition! Thank you for helping people like me who struggle with counting calories. My relationship with food has improved so much!

[@stephaniegee5973]

Huge fan of yours. Currently down 10 pounds and have 6 more to go. Your mini cut is reigniting the push I need. I’d be honoured to be an inner circle member ❤

[@infrared1731]

Hi Jordan! I’ve been a fan for awhile. I do bjj and bought your no BS weight loss video on fanatic wrestling. My cut started at 205, I’m currently 195 and going to 180. If I feel good at that weight, I’ll stay, if not I will consider 170. I don’t care about the number, I just want to be healthy and be able to maintain it and not be obsessed. That’s why I love what you teach, your style is the best! Thanks for everything.

[@islamcgregor]

I just started my mini cut Started at 190 Goal weight is 160 My goal is more focusing on steps - getting that movement in daily ! I love your content Keep it comming !! N

[@tanpeilin93]

Hi Jordan! Hello from the little red dot called Singapore! Got inspired and motivated by your cut as I've been out of exercise for a few months due to an injury. So I started a week ago. Starting at 123 and my goal is 110. I'm 4 - 5 days in and see lots of fluctuations in my weight but not too worried about it as I used to be before as I understand that it isn't linear. Also signed up for a gym membership when I started the cut and going to be incorporating weight training during this cut. Have always struggled with trying to eat sustainably and being extremely paranoid about each calorie i consume but am trying to be more conscientious about it and to turn it into a lifestyle rather than calling it a diet. I'm excited for this next few weeks and am glad to see so many other people who are doing it as well!!

[@briandowling6729]

Started my mini cut today thanks to your inspiration. I also just had a baby a year ago, well my wife did, but this is baby number 2 and it has been much harder to stay on track. During my wife's first pregnancy and my first daughters year of life I lost 40lbs!! Best shape of my life and loved it. I was down around 190 give or take. Along comes daughter number 2, yes proud girl dad!!, And the weight and management of my own health has gone down. I am right now around 215 with a goal weight of 195. Starting off by hitting the grocery store and making a promise to eat at home more, because we have been eating take out much more with the schedule of two kids, age 4 and 1. Let's crush this!!

[@clairepitaluga2445]

Hi Jordan 👋 I've always been overweight but started focusing on myself during the first lockdown and using your advice and changing small things that I could maintain long term. I lost and maintained 70 lbs with never counting macros. I loosely did the 3 meals two snacks, walked, trained, water and slept. I'm still maintaining but now I've plateud for about 18 months. I know I need to cut but I find it so overwhelming I feel safe with my training, walking, water and sleep. I've tried a few times to cut but so worried I will go back to restrict Vs bigne cycle so I give up and just stay where I am in maintanence. I started at +280lbs and I'm now 210. My goal is 180. Thanks cj👋

[@clairepitaluga2445]

Thanks cj 👍

[@kellystein3804]

I started this year at 185 and currently at 162. I thought I’d lose a lot more physical inches than I have so goal is 150 now and reassess since my goal isn’t a number, I’m after improved physical health and wellbeing. Jordan’s cut is helping me keep on track with small portions.

[@cocooo248]

I started at 180lbs in January and I’m currently 155lbs, and aiming for 147lbs. It’s my first time actually dedicating myself to this journey and honestly it’s been such a great learning experience. I think I tried to lose weight once before where it was pretty much just a crash diet and I lasted 6 weeks. Anyways, it’s been a great process. In fact my average weight this month is higher than last month and I’m not even mad about it! And that is progress!

[@AndreaPung]

I’ve been wanting to start a mini cut but I’m not 100% sure how to start and this video is perfect for me! I’ve loved watching your videos. They’ve completely changed my relationship with food and fitness.

[@hokiejen13]

Hi Jordan! Thank you, as always, for the content! This video hits home with me and continues to help me stay motivated. I am 10 months postpartum and continuing my weight loss. I am on the journey to lose the 25 lbs that snuck up on me before I got pregnant with my 3rd kiddo. I am thrilled to be down 15 lbs since I started tracking - and only 5 lbs away from my pre-pregnancy weight - and really getting back to portion control and increasing my veggies. My older kids are seeing their parents enjoy a cookie or ice cream every now and again but also are part of us enjoying more fruits and veggies at every meal. Really appreciate all you do and all you share!

[@jordanag1404]

Been such a fan forever! Don’t want to say my starting weight, because it’s embarrassing. But would really like to lose 10 pounds during the mini cut. I’ve been doing CrossFit with F45 and no results and I neeeeeed help!!!! Thanks for everything you do - you’re an inspiration to many! ❤ Congrats on the new baby!!!

[@Laura-je2uw]

I realized for myself that the best way to lose weight was to just start to focus on nutrition and walking. As soon as i started to include cardio, running or weight training i gained weight because i was much more hungry and ate more. When i looked at the calories i was often shocked to see how little extra calories i burned through exercise even if o felt completely exhausted afterwards (like 150 to 250 calories) - on the other hand, i ate like 500 - 700 calories more due to the increased hunger i had. I do not have increased hunger when i include walking. Later on i always included weight training and running etc because it makes me feel good, but when i was solely focused on weight loss then its just nutrition and walking for me.

[@jessicasteketee879]

I have just started trying to lose weight…again! I have done exactly what you talked about in the video - tried to lose weight a number of times, the scale didn’t move like I thought it should, and then I give up. I really appreciate your explanation about how that is totally normal for the scale to fluctuate and we just need to be patient! Thank you for these simple and practical things that we can do. I am hoping to lose around 40lbs and I need to remember that this is going to be a slow and steady process and I need to stay consistent. I am really enjoying your content on IG and I just subscribed to your KZbin channel. Thank you!

[@soniadaigle8563]

After watching this video, it's just the boost I need to do a mini cut. Nothing drastic, but I will start by focusing on getting my steps in. The explanation and tips you give are just awesome. Love that you show us how simple it can be 🙂

[@amykotsch6513]

Started my weight loss 8/20. Started out at 149 and would like to get down to 140. I think I’m at 147 but weight keeps fluctuating. Thank you so much for your posts. They help to put everything into prospective.

[@LiminalAdam]

Just finished Week 5 of my 8 week mini-cut, and down about 8 lbs! Having a set time frame to be in a calorie deficit mindset (but without a specific goal weight or deadline) has been such a game-changer for me. Knowing that this is only 8 weeks of my life allows me to be more consistent and focused instead of constantly being in the mindset of "needing to lose weight" 52 weeks out of the year. The ultimate goal weight right now is 150 (that may change when I get there), but I'm not tied to a deadline or date. I'm just taking it in small, focused chunks of time - for example, after these 8 weeks I'm taking a week off from counting calories or focusing on calorie deficit, before jumping back in for a 4 week cut, then a week off to enjoy Thanksgiving, then another 3 week cut before taking 2 weeks off to enjoy Christmas and New Years. This mindset shift has been so freeing, and I'm thankful for the example you set and the content you put out!

[@LiminalAdam]

@@mindoablues 35 lbs down is incredible!!! And you're doing it in such a sustainable way. I agree, it can seem overwhelming, but you are absolutely killing it! I really like that idea of breaking it up into 15lb increments!

Hi, I am currently looking to lose 12-14 lbs. I’m started at 161, and at 159. After 2 weeks. I walk5-6 days a week and do 2 work outs a week Ive followed you for a few years on Instagram and your message is so wonderfully refreshing! Congratulations on becoming a new parent!

[@landsharkisgonnagetu]

Thank you for teaching me the ways of sustainability! I am on wk 3 and dow 7lbs. I am currently 157 w/goal of 145. I listen to your knowledge on repeat. From forgiveness to brutal accountability I have been lurking in back bushes of social media for it. Being in your program would truly mean alot. Also, couldn't help but notice you are gonna level up 💜 sometime in the future Oss🤙

[@scarllettrose7365]

I've started my cut several weeks before you. After giving birth in February, I told myself enough in August, because I gained some weight and was not happy with that at all. I started at 183lbs, now I am at 173. Your book Eat it helped me a lot. The goal is about 143lbs, so it will need some time, but I am ok with that.

[@pennymock5451]

Hey Jordan! Congrats on your baby! Started in January at 230, lost to 207 and maintained that through the summer.. Actually started back today (just went through hurricane Ian in Central Fl) -currently 207.2 & looking to 185...thanks for the video😁

[@jackieturner354]

Joining you too! Have been working on it since I had my first baby in July 2020. Gained around 25 pounds, mostly during maternity leave, breast feeding is so hard and it definitely got to me during that time. Not an excuse but it was a struggle for me and food was my comfort. Anyways fast forward to now I’ve slowly lost about 15 but am working on that last 10, which always seem to be the hardest yet the ones that make the most difference. Would love the privilege of joining the Inner Circle to help get me there. Long time follower, aka lurker in the background 😅 Love following you and your growing Neen family! ❤️

[@elizabethryan4777]

I just started a "cut" a few days after you started yours. I've spent the majority of this year prioritizing consistently working-out which, now 9 months into the year, I have been very consistent with , but haven't lost any weight. So I decided a week ago, its time to start focusing on my nutrition, now that i feel I have the "movement" part down. My starting weight is 213 and my goal is 160ish (the lowest ive ever been is 170, I may re-evaluate when i get there) I have spent a decade yo-yo dieting, and im really focusing this year on doing small steps and taking my time, getting one habit down then moving on to the next. While also correcting my way of thinking. Even though the scale hasn't changed much so far, I have had such a big change mentally and physically this year, the last thing i really need to get down is to consistently be in a calorie-deficit (or a malorie shmeficit, lol).

I’ve been following for awhile! I’ve always loved your simple approach to fat loss. I’ve been doing a little mini cut for a couple months now for my wedding in December! Starting weight at the peak of my fiancés military deployment was 195- currently down to 188 and goal is 175! Thank you so much for all your content and tips.

[@ConfidentlyCaiti]

I've been working on a mini cut as well! After years of binge/restrict cycle I took some time this year to heal my relationship with food and thanks to you I feel ready to focus more on nutrition and start to shed some of the fat that I've put on in the process of healing from binge eating. Would love to try inner circle!

Hi Jordan. I started my mini cut today🥰 I am amin to lose a couple of kg. Starting weight 71kg goal 66kg. I have already lost 6 kg since I started to follow you and your advices. I have managed to keep the weight of during the summer, can you imagine that!😍 so grateful I found you, thank you for everything that you do🙏🏼 greetings from Sweden🇸🇪

[@christinaortega2040]

I am part of the inner circle and joining you on your mini cut. Right now my weight is 144 and my goal weight is 130. I've been tracking my weight and consistency with the trackers in the IC (Thank you). I love all the tips and reminders that I can't eff this up. It isn't going to happen overnight I have to stick with it for the long haul. I'm still enjoying myself and foods I like just less of them. I however, have cut back my alcohol in take to help me. I look forward to seeing where I'm at in 90 days. I'll be a whole new me by the start of the year.

[@visionsofdreams]

I started doing a mini cut similar to what you're doing right now, after becoming inspired by you. It's a great motivation seeing your stories every morning and following along.

[@jenlewis-russell473]

Hi Jordan. Thank you for such an informative KZbin. I’ve been loosing weight on and off over four year but now at 47 and perimenapausal I’m at my heaviest I’ve been. Been waiting for the video before starting a mini cut on Monday! I’d like to get to 196lbs so will take a while but looking forward to this new journey with new perspectives and new mindset. Thank you 😊

[@n.havlin3840]

I just joined the IC and watch your videos while on my treadmill getting my steps in…that’s where I just was :) Started my cut on Sept. 6th and I have consistently gotten more consistent with my nutrition over these 3 weeks. Like you I am expecting a “whoosh” any day now. I’ve been weighing approximately the same over the last 6 days. Thanks to your videos and the IC, I am NOT freaking out and getting pissed off about it. Just waiting patiently, while staying the course, for the scale to catch up….I’m .8 oz from being back in the 100s :) Goal is to lose 30 lbs overall. Thanks Jordan -

[@sesullivan333]

I began my 'mini cut' about a week ago, first by not getting those high calorie, low nutrient snacks I thoughtlessly was buying at the store (chips, cookies, etc). By not having them in the house, it's much easier to focus on more filling foods that align with my fitness goals. This week I planned out and prepped my meals for the week to make grabbing takeout on my way home from work less appealing. It's much easier to make dinner after a 12 hour day when I already know what I'm going to make and the vegetables are already chopped! My focus this week is simply portion control. No specific foods are off limits, so you better believe I had a donut yesterday. But because I've been limiting those things (one donut instead of two, huge win for me!) and continuing with daily movement, I'm already seeing improvements in my energy and the scale.

[@amandalee6152]

Hi Jordan! Been following for years and love your content. I just had my first baby 13 weeks ago; a little girl also. I totally feel you and NeeNee on the Team Little Sleep train😂 I started my mini cut this week! I had been walking a lot postpartum but today was my first day back in the gym to help with my cut. I’m currently at 126lbs and would like to get back down to my pre-pregnancy at 120lbs. Excited to start incorporating a few strength sessions a week on top of walking and nutrition. As always, thanks for all you do! Super motivated by your realistic and transparent approach!

[@dananiems]

This is exactly what I needed. Raw, honest, direct truths. I'm doing a mini cut right now as well. At 159, highest weight I've ever been, goal is 140. My clothes are too tight. I've been eating like an idiot, that's really all. Stress has been a factor that I like to use as my excuse but at the end of the day eating ice cream every night and having candy and wine are the real culprits and I know better. I know it's not that hard or complicated, I've just been putting it off. Thanks for the honesty to make me feel like I'm not the only one who can come back from eating like an asshole for a while lol 😊

[@mariamagdaleno188]

I am doing a mini cut , trying to lose 10lbs. I was able to successfully lose weight (30lbs) within the past two years. I have been enjoying my time with my significant other since he got back from deployment however it is take to reel it back it and get back to a place where I am happy with myself. Your videos always motivate me. Thank you.

[@Vendettabot23]

Started a cut a week ago. Learning about the whoosh was a game changer for me. I'm one of those people who would see the scale hover around the same weight for a week and give up. This time I'm sticking it out.

[@tarasabrina2078]

I have not started the mini cut. I have to be honest my head space is shot. I was doing so well in a CD and working out regularly and I loved it. Then my husband got hurt and I put myself on the back burner and have not been in the basement on the tread lifting any of the above for way too long. I have to admit I'm scared I don't want to see the number on the scale. My food is good in my option during the week. Sundays not great football season. I know I need to get back to it but it's hard. I do thank you for always encouraging us and helping us understand in "real" words if you know what I mean. Thanks for always doing this.

[@kiralynx]

This year is full of mini-cuts for me. I decided that I was going to lose weight to prevent health issues that run in the family, but I wasn't going to starve or make myself miserable over it. So I decided to start off with losing 15 lbs every 12 weeks, for approximately 9 months (about 1.25 lbs per week). Then, 10lbs every 12 weeks for the next 9 months (about .8 lbs a week). There is flexibility in the time frame since I know weight isn't a constantly downward line, but having set goals and documenting the journey helps keep me motivated. I only did two changes to my life - moderation in nutrition (using your calorie calculator) and working out 3 times a week for 30-45 minutes. I started in May at 217 lbs and am currently at 192 lbs, with my next goal at the moment being 185 lbs by November 1st. Taking it in small chunks has done wonders not only to my mental health but to my relationship with food. I no longer see eating as anxiety-inducing or feel the need to constantly judge it in "good or bad" terms. I eat salads and fruits and veggies but I also eat pizza and burgers and ice cream. I finally feel I've reached a point where I can both enjoy food while fueling my body with it. The smaller goals have also helped me build my workout habit. Instead of trying to go ham from the start and giving up when I'm too sore, my body has slowly become accustomed to movement and weight training. I feel having a solid foundation will make it easier for me to up the time/days when I hit plateaus or slumps.

[@nevadabasquegirl6820]

Currently doing a cut too!! I started out at 173.6 and am down to 168.4 in four weeks. Following your guidance in your book Eat It! for a rapid weight loss ascending caloric schema and happy I’m moved into my fourth week and more calories 🎉 Trying to see if it alleviates some medical stuff…and to try and take a fat off and reveal some muscle I had built, of course until Covid hit at my granddaughters 1st birthday party 😢 Back to feeling better and getting back after it all and I am succeeding ❤😅

[@annabeach9658]

Started following you recently and now trying a mini cut!! I’m starting one now, currently 144 and goal is 135! Trying to incorporate strength with my peloton workouts, would love to try the inner circle! Hoping to get a free month before complete commitment 😍

[@janelleklein-gebbinck2810]

Joining you in the cut 💪 Watched this video while on the rower and time flew by!

[@tiffanysmoker9701]

Great video! Starting my mini cut today. Start weight is 184, goal is 170. Love seeing your daily weight updates and helps a ton to see that the slow and steady with fluctuations is normal

[@adrenalinejunkie91]

Awesome, thank you for sharing! I'm doing a mini cut to lose 10 pounds, going from 155 to 145. Excited to continue eating normally in a deficit this time. Thanks again!

[@elizabethmann8034]

Love from Alaska! Starting my mini cut in October along with sober October. I notice that I binge eat after a couple drinks. Thank you for the content!

[@irinaagafonova5661]

Hi, Jordan. thanks for sharing. Loosing weight and doing a cut doesn't have to be overwhelming, for sure. thank you for showing that. That is my issue, i get overwhelmed, and lose patience with myself I have just finished your book, and having watched yourself on the mini-cut, well... it's all possible, it's all in my hands, it all can be done and it is my responsibility, but it doesn't have to hard and strict. I JUST HAVE TO BE CONSISTENT! So, my goal is to loose 15-20 kg, no time limit, I have already lost and 20kg during pandemics, but it was on keto and now ( predictably) it is back and forth, fluctuation of 5-7 kg So. now I am 72 kg, my ideal weight is 50 kg, and my goal weigh for now is 54 kg. ( I am shoooort, 150 cm)))) what I have already started is weightlifting ( I have been consistent with 3 times per week for a month already) what I need to work on is NUTRITION: portion control and oh well, alcohol. more than anything I want to reach that balance where I don't have to severely restrict myself that led to overeating all the time. My daughter is 5 years old and she is watching me, I am an example of everything in this world for her. Thanks for being real and open about your journey. Risha

[@AdamScottfit]

Great video. I love mini cuts - gives a break away from eating so much and prevent me from going overboard with the fat gain.

[@jessc7975]

I’m planning my own mini cut starting in October. Looking to lose about 10 lbs and very similar to Jordan, just because I want my clothes to fit a little better! No end date, but once the holidays hit, I’ll take a pause because I’d like to just enjoy myself during all the holiday social obligations. Thanks for all the great content!

[@christinewann8581]

Starting today trying to do mini cuts to lose the last 30-40 pounds to reach my goal. Down 100 pounds in the last two years and have found your content super motivating along they way.

[@AC-ws4im]

Hi J! I just started a mini cut too! I’m about a week in and have a similar goal. I used your calculator and doing the calorie cycling. I’ll keep you posted on the progress! I’m loving the clips you’re posting and the really cool features you’re showing from your inner circle app! 😍 What an amazing program!

[@TheAcesLV]

I gained 40lbs during my pregnancy, I was able to lose that weight but I was already obese weighing 174 lbs prior to being pregnant, I am currently stuck at that weight, I was being consistant and had already lost about 5lbs in 2 weeks but went to visit Family outside the country and just started eating like everything in sight... It's hard being a 1st time mom, but that's not an excuse so I am getting myself back on track and aiming for another 40lbs down no matter the time it takes🤞 thank you for all your videos and advise on instagram, much love for you and your sweet family ❤️

[@kaylafuhrer2971]

My cut started back in March. My goal weight is 135-140. My starting weight was 171. I’m down to 147 and I’ve lost 30 inches! I feel amazing. Currently at a plateau myself. I’ve been consistently doing cardio 2x a week, weights 2x a week, then I end it with yoga. I do this Monday through Friday while my kids are in school. And take Saturday Sunday atsmy rest days. Loving your videos and posts on this cut.

[@jolantamarzec440]

I have been cutting for over a week. Starting weight 168 goal 140- I had a whoosh but now just keeping on track. I am now downs to 163. We will see how this goes. Thank you for this video

[@stephaniewells885]

I started last week at 180lbs. I weighed 178.6 this morning. My goal is 150. Practicing patience and balance so I can do this long term! (I even had Cheesecake Factory last week and still lost weight💪🏼). Thanks for all you do and share😊

[@katieball6249]

Thank you for sharing your story! Very motivating! I'm working on a cut right now after having a summer of relaxing. I got married earlier this year and was able to shed some weight. I decided to use the summer to heal my relationship around food and not stress on what I'll look like. With that being said I'm up to 165 and would like to get back down to 150-155 again. I'm hoping to dail in the nutrition also!

[@BlessedMama_02]

Great video! It helped me understand the plateaus, which is the stage I’m at now. Started mini cut 5 wks ago, dropped 10lbs, only 10 more to go. Thank you for the information 🫶

[@TimPJ]

Great video with a lot of important points! I also enjoyed the BJJ intro as I got into BJJ just three weeks ago, I will have to try the wrist lock next time someone underhooks me. Im on day 3 of my month long mini cut and I'm looking to shed about 5-6 pounds because I feel quicker and more agile at that weight. I've also been working (struggling, if you know - you know) as a PT for about 8 months now and I'm doing this mini cut along side one of my clients to inspire her to stay accountable and we can go through the literal ups and downs managing our weights/intakes. I'd love to get some insights from the Inner Circle and get some inspiration for how I can go on and develop my own coaching! Thanks for the video Jordan - You always have sound advice and your journey keeps me going on the daily and focused on the habits instead of the immediate results (career-wise).

[@carlamike6916]

Love all of your videos! I just recently had a baby and have lost 40 lbs in 4 months (bonus is I only gained 12 lbs with him)! My goal has been to just get to a healthier weight range and have more energy to enjoy my kids as well as improving my blood pressure. My goal would be to lose 70 more lbs and I don’t care how long it takes to get there. I recently read your book and it really helped change my mentality on losing the weight this time. I’ve been lifting weights about 3 times a week and getting my steps in daily on top of doing a small calorie deficit (so I can maintain my milk supply!).

[@TheMelshaw]

I just found you on IG and I’m reworking my budget to join the inner circle. Thanks for all the info you are sharing.

[@mariehoupert1651]

Always very clear and straight to the point! Reducing portions is also another way, as far as I am concerned, of eating with consciousness. Thks Jordan for your content ! ❤❤

[@corey01ob]

Currently doing a cut, going from 84kg to a goal weight of 68kg (I know, a long way to go) but I have just hit 78kg and feeling positive! Thanks for the great videos, always super informative and inspiring!

[@kombinarde570]

Trying to lose my pregnancy kilos since mid July, down 8kg so far and 10kg to go. The past days have been difficult because of the “plateau” so I’m glad I’ve seen your video! Waiting for that woosh to happen for now, thank you for your help 🙏🏻
