I’m trying to do 1500 calories for weight loss

[@tammycharles742]

On June 1st I stopped eating sugar, flour & processed food. I started eating healthy foods & focusing on protein. I started lifting weights & trying to go to bed earlier. I'm down 21 lbs. Only one more to go to my goal weight. Following JJ got me so motivated I actually kicked butt. You can do it!

Does she post workouts to follow along with her as I can’t seem to find any, just videos explaining how to do the moves with weights?

[@hakimasaghir9458]

sugar is my addiction how u guys do it>>?????

[@judieshine8406]

. @hakimasaghir9458 If you can make it through about a week with no or very reduced sugar, you'll start to find you don't miss it. But it's also a mental shift, too.

[@sublimesamoyed]

You are EXCELLENT! I’m an RN and everything you’re saying is completely evidence based. Now I want to watch ALL your videos to learn even more and drive this home in my own life! At 30, I looked around at my life and the sick patients I take care of and I realized just how much I did not want to age in that direction. Thank you for your inspiration and expertise!

[@jjvirginvideos]

Thank you!!

[@tamarabeck6350]

It seems everything I ever watch is ALWAYS geared towards women who have been blessed enough not to have a female cancer. I had a full hysterectomy(instant menopause) over 6 years ago, along with other body parts removed and 16 lymph nodes. Stage 4 ovarian cancer. Now hypothyroidism due to Immunotherapy. One leg has bad lymphedema I can’t seem to control. Pant leg no longer fits. Shoe on that foot no longer fits. Exercise daily. Eat very healthy(I’ve read it all and adhere). Over weight. Scale never budges. Can’t take hormones due to my hormone driven cancer. Very depressed by it all. Medical community is a joke. I feel lost and alone in this journey. 62 in May. Thank you for the awakening to the effects of GMO foods about 9 years ago. I took corn out of my life and healed my leaky gut. Then cancer hit 7 years ago and on constant treatments to try to stay alive.

[@MyPammer]

​@@tamarabeck6350I feel for you. I was diagnosed with Leukemia and chemo pill treatment began...as did the menopause and weight gain. I just keep following what she says and I've finally been losing weight. Slow and sure. But exciting to see the weight and waist disappear! Hang in there and keep trying.

Great video! I've been working on my health first because I have multiple autoimmune disorders. I drink about 140 ounces of filtered water with MSM, Himalayan salt, lots of protein, super low carbs to get rid of insulin resistance, doing a liver detox currently, organic foods, etc. This has helped me continue working on our ranch, which is a lot of work. I'm 65 and take no medications. Dropped 40 lbs. already but have 50 more to go. I know I need bio-identical hormones but can't afford them, as they aren't covered by Medicare 😥.

[@rowanstarling3816]

I also have multiple chronic disorders. Started on Keto about 6 years ago, lost 60 lbs., but then had to have 4 surgeries and over 3 years gained about 40 back. I'm 59 now, back on ketovore/Carnivore, fasting, weight resistance training, no alcohol. I've lost 27 lbs. and to reach my goal about 25 more. I also do not take HRT but I am going to have my hormones checked. I'm working harder than I ever have in my life and then will keep at it to stay healthy. good luck to you.

[@michellecherry888]

Excellent Video!!! Love that you touched in the importance of food sensitivities. Reminds me of how I was making eggs everyday and having no idea why I couldn’t loose weight when it turns out my body dislikes eggs. Also I supplement to increase hormones at only 30 I noticed a problem with storing more fat as opposed to muscle and correcting this has my muscle mass right back how it was at 20. Good luck everyone! Everything she mentioned is so important, honestly we want to look good but the process actually means we live longer and feel better ❤

[@KJB0001]

Ms Michelle, how did you finally learn that you had an egg sensitivity?

[@michellecherry888]

@@KJB0001 I took a food sensitivity test. The one I took was really comprehensive and thorough. Something critical that that isn’t common is I also discovered Im highly sensitive to synthetic vitamin E and Im low on Vitamin E. I’m strict about not missing my daily multi so this was shocking. I’ve added natural sources to my diet (almonds) and this helped a lot. The test I took was very reasonable (Check My Body Health) There are several companies however, these results really changed my life. My health is good again, finally at a weight I like, my skin cleared up, and more importantly all my numbers looked good at the doctors. Also I had to address that I have some indoor and outdoor allergies that cause me to put on weight. I do suggest testing for allergies as well. I’m allergic to things like dust and mold but I have no pure allergy to food but the sensitivities are very real 😅 I take Claritin daily now to combat the allergies I mentioned as well. Good luck, I know it’s a lot 😅

[@nataljabaskirova9742]

How did you supplement to increase hormones?

[@michellecherry888]

@@nataljabaskirova9742 I’m not a medical professional, please keep that in mind. First make sure to have your hormones tested. Your cycle is a good indicator of how things are going. In my case I’m very regular which indicated my hormones are stable however when I looked at my numbers I felt they could be higher. I supplement with DHEA which increases hormone production. DHEA naturally drops as we age, I encourage you to do your own research. To find the optimal dose I kept testing to see how this supplement affected me and what felt best. If your hormones aren’t stable you would need help with hormone replacement which requires an anti aging doctor since needs vary and you want optimal doses of what’s right for you. Good luck as always 🙏❤️✨

Great video. So many helpful tips in one place. Your voice is easy to listen to. How do I start creatine without the stomach aches?

[@jjvirginvideos]

@therealaudreyparker9966 Thank you for watching, we're glad you enjoyed the content. Stomach aches from creatine are often due to type or dosage. Start with 1g of creatine monohydrate and gradually increase to 3-5g daily. Alternatively, SHEatine™ (CON-CRĒT® Creatine HCl) is gentler and more bioavailable, requiring just 750mg daily to start.

Why have I not watched you before now. My mind is blown. I am 52 extremely over weight, hypothyroidism, RA, fatigued pretty much most of the time, an emotional hot mess, have trouble focusing, trouble sleeping and cannot get myself motivated for anything. I have just started pellet hormone therapy. You make me feel like there is an answer and that I am not lazy or crazy. I feel guilty all the time for not having any drive. My poor husband is going to choke if I talk about my weight and health and what new plan I have come up with to combat it one more time. Now I realize I need to do the things to get healthy before the weight or the mind or the rest will come. Thank you

​@@CorwinDriskillwe really can do it. On my part, it takes patience. And hugely lowered expectations/ change in priorities. As my health/ weight improved (and I accepted the fact that I need prescription meds to sleep) - so did my depression. And as my husband retired & lowered his expectations of what he needed to do in life - our relationship improved. Now we're working together on a consistently healthy lifestyle, and managing health challenges as we age.

[@AzaleaBee]

Hi Cyrusromeo. I don't know if this applies to you, but I've been using extended fasting and a whole food diet (prioritizing fats, protein, and various homemade fermented foods) in order to manage chronic pain without prescription medication for several years.. My pain is basically from nerve damage and retained foreign bodies that surgeons could not remove. After settling in to whole foods, fasting, sleep quality, and daily sun/fresh air I gained lots of energy, improved mood, and of course weight management.
