how to *START* your WEIGHT LOSS JOURNEY 2024| healing your gut & building discipline for *BEGINNERS*

[@janet.ndomahina]

This is a struggle for sooo many of us so I hope you know that you are not alone! It may feel like you have to be super strict in the beginning but over time you’ll be able to chill out and just live in true balance! The beginning feels like the biggest struggle but it doesn’t last forever! REMEMBER THAT! Love y’all 🫶🏾

I really liked your first tip for years, my doctor, and I have been trying to figure out why I kept gaining weight and why I struggled so much with my weight. It wasn't until I got up to my highest weight in my life (434). I found out I had pcos, and it played a very big part in my weight gain and tiredness, plus stress caused me to eat a lot, so I did my research, cut out junk food, coffee, and red meats, and stopped eating out so much, started getting more sleep, and started taking my vitamins and supplements. and I finally lost 50 pounds in a year-not a lot, but I feel so much better.

[@janet.ndomahina]

So so so happy for you!!! Putting in the work and seeking help can make the biggest difference! 🫶🏾

[@DeeDee-a29L]

Congratulations ! You continue to do the things that you're doing . Ever little counts. Day by day, things will improve.

[@evelyntrevino331]

I have pcos too and really trying to lose weight. Can you share what vitamins or supplements helped you the most? 😊

[@jv_25_4eva]

50 pounds is definitely a lot.

[@trinadymanke8400]

50 pounds IS alot!!! Don't downplay yourself, you did that!!!

[@Msqueen_d]

I swear this best editing hands down 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@janet.ndomahina]

Omg thank you girl! I try 😭

[@autie_kniggit]

I am sitting here eating chocolate donuts talking to the screen like, "yass, yes girl I need to do that!" Ha! Stress has me going to sugar and it's a vicious cycle.

[@caitlins.4814]

So glad I found your channel a couple months ago!! Your videos always seem to come out when I need them most in my life aha. January ended up being crazy for me, so I’m taking this week to reflect and come back stronger to finish up my Q1 goals ❤️

[@maggie_1984]

So realistic and so sincere ❤ I'm struggling with my weight my whole life, and I think I've finally found inspiration to start with my diet ❤. Thank you Janet ❤

[@bonnieeldridge8601]

I’ve been on this health journey since October 16th, 2023 and have lost 49 pounds so far. I still have a lot to lose but I feel so much better than I did. I would love to get the recipe for your green juice drink…

[@biancagiljean89]

I am literally in my car on break from work and I’m working on a weight loss plan that will work for me. So the notification for this vlog came in great timing! This journey is the hardest for me because I’ve always struggled with my weight and it showed to be detrimental to me at times. So I think I’ll be much more chill going into it this time around. Thank you for being transparent and showing us that we aren’t in this fight alone! Happy Wednesday Everyone. 🤍

[@janet.ndomahina]

Yayyy! So happy for you!! You’ve got this girl! Planning & taking it slow is best way to be consistent in this journey 🤗

[@ebonyevans5916]

This channel is so genuine! I see why you have so many subscribers!!!!❤

[@DeeDee-a29L]

Thanks for keeping your KZbin family on track. My water reminder is set on my phone. My alarm goes off when it's time to drink water every two hours.

[@TrendzAndTips]

Heyyy Janet, your weight loss journey is very impressive ❤❤❤

[@janet.ndomahina]

Thank you so much girl! 🤗🤍

[@brownsugarmisha9936]

I love your approach in this video About weight loss

[@darlenegibson3017]

YOU ARE SO AMAZING, I HAVE LEARNED SO MUCH FROM all the knowledge you pour out to us.

[@attimesava1596]

Can you do a video on how to maintain a sew in while working out?

[@jessicamarkure245]

Loved the disclaimer and your focus on moderation and healthy habits ❤. I think we have the same chicken recipe I always call it "measuring with my heart" 😂 I used the MyFitnessPal several years ago when I was peak stressed and I really appreciated that it not only tracked what I ate but also called me out when I was in too low of a caloric deficit and not fueling my body properly. My focus this month is PLANNING my meals so I'm less likely to just overeat something not aligned with my goals.

[@Nubian_grecian]

I love this video.. very relatable. Thanks for the great tips! New sub just from this video ❤

[@karla_sheri9009]

Really liked your tips. I also use My fitness pal but I really use to log my meals to help ensure I am in a calorie deficit and not going over board with calories. Not perfect with it but having a visual of what I eat in a helps with accountability.

[@tanyabaldwin636]

You are doing great! Very inspiring content. I am still trying to get in the flow of cooking at home more often, preferring my own cooking over restaurant cooking is definitely a goal of mine. I want to be in my chef era 👩‍🍳So far I purchased all of the basic tools necessary that I was missing and I'm meal planning / prepping each week. My meals are not yet AMAZING however, I know that takes time and practice so I am hopeful. ☺

[@thatlibrariangirl]

Not even a minute in but wanted say good for you!! You look great

[@janet.ndomahina]

Thank you so much! I appreciate that 🥹

[@nokoye2009]

I experience weight gain too under stress. The coffee one is kind of a mixed bag. You try to cut out the coffee but then when I dont get enough sleep, I need the coffee to just function. Or maybe I am just so addicted to coffee that my body thinks it needs it to function. but i agree with you on cutting coffee out

[@aditikaria534]

One of the best sensible chats thank you 🙏🏽

[@Ana-cu3gb]

Just discovered your channel. Your videos are the most helpful ones out there! Where are the pillows on your bed from?!

[@janet.ndomahina]

Best vlogger ❤

[@janet.ndomahina]

Thank you boo! 🥹🤍

[@zee-zm1io]

Trying to lose post partum weight is so hard. Breastfeeding made me gain more weight and my joints and muscles are so weak. I thought of getting a trainer but I realized it’s better I start with physical therapy.

[@trinityriddell3296]

Your story has been so helpful. I have gained weight and lost it, gained it and now it hasnt buged for over a year of me "trying". I keep starting and stoping when the results don't come like they did the first time I lost weight. The first time was easy for me and now my body doesn't want to let go! Thank you for your consistency, it helps me to keep starting over. I've been working on lots of protein and water and that has definitely helped with my cravings so far

[@janet.ndomahina]

I resonate with your story!! Don’t be so hard on yourself, as we get older it gets harder so take it slow and try to be patient, you’ll see the changes in no time 🤗

[@Lady4Life]

Love your videos. I make your chicken, black beans, etc meal all the time.

[@ema2281]

Thank you for sharing!! Your symptoms sound just like mine, and my PCP has recommended that I cut down all the food families you have mentioned. I have hypothyroidism which has led me to have Hashimoto. You should look into it .

[@judyhaynes209]

[@trinadymanke8400]

What is an example of "every once in awhile"? I struggle so much with understanding this!!! 😅😭

[@classicrocha7953]

I feel the same about eating out. ick. Unless it's a hole in the wall Mexican spot. I know that's homemade 😂

[@lucresse8011]

Hey Janet! How did you get your protein in without dairy? I started incorperating Greek yogurt and protein shakes into my diet but I’m not sure how I can meet my protein goals without them. Do you have a what I eat in a day video with the protein listed for each meal?

[@maggieh7916]

I'm not allergic to gluten but I do have arthritis and fibromyalgia and it's one of the bigger inflammatory causing foods. I don't fully cut it out but I try to opt for the GF options when I can

[@bellaboomz]

Thanks, Janet ❤❤❤

I can tell I’m really struggling now, I’m noticing I’m having a hard time going up the stairs, and my knee started bothering me a few weeks ago. Thank you Janet, and thanks for the coffee tip, I really have to cut back on Starbies but it’s so hard🥲
