Thanks for the interview. I had a lot of support from my family, coach Tracy Eden Larby (wellnessbikiniqueen) and my gym family at Henrietta Street Gym In Birmingham, UK.

[@MelissaNeill]

Thanks for sharing!

[@sunbabe3662]

Ayo, please share an update. I am planning to start my journey. I am cheering for you. Cheer me on please

[@catrinagriffin6141]

Hello Melissa! Enjoyed your vlog. Ayo did a great job with weightloss journey. I was wondering how she is doing with preparations for competition?

[@anniechorley4940]

Well done! You must feel like a new woman. You look lovely too.

[@vidahappy-frugalspanglishv1528]

Thank you both for sharing this amazing story. I am 42, I would love to loose about 40 pounds and be healthy. I love your channel and the purpose of it. Thank you for motivating all of us ladies over 40.💛

[@shandachalwell-walters6852]

I thank you so much for your channel. I have been struggling with my weight my whole life. I could never lose the pounds and keep them off. I want to lose about 50 to 70 pounds. This was very educational and inspirational

[@MelissaNeill]

Thank you Shanda. Ayo is a real inspiration isn't she? I am doing a further video about her later this year when she takes part in her first bikini competition.

[@athenad1039]

This is a wonderful story! I am trying to lose 100 ibs or so and I just turned 44! I felt everything she described! Thank you and thank you Ayo for this inspiring story!

[@MelissaNeill]

You got this!

[@jlpickles7]

So surprised she decided to do a boxing competition as a surgeon! That would be quite risky for her hands! But she is a lovely person inside & out, and I wish her all the best on her journey. Thank you for this video!

[@MelissaNeill]

My pleasure.

[@belannatorres4777]

Absolutely amazing! I only need to lose 50 lbs...very inspiring indeed! My goal is to be strong enough to backpack with my partner and kayak camping on the river! Thank you for sharing!

[@chindomnic8828]

I just love the way you talk

[@MelissaNeill]

Thank you Chin

[@donnagayle5727]

I came across your channel by chance. It has been inspiring. I myself have lost quite a bit of weight at my heaviest I was probably 250+ pounds wearing a size 28 in clothes I am currently 66kg that's 10 st 3 and wear UK 10/12 in clothes. It's been a real emotional roller coaster watching others like yourself is very encouraging. I have a lot of loose skin (I see you have none lol) what tips can you give on losing or toning this. Keep up the good work you look amazing 🤗😘

[@rajecks]

This is awesome...Very motivating!!!!

[@MelissaNeill]

Glad you liked it!!

[@IZionDawta]

Wow! You BOTH are stunning!

[@MelissaNeill]

Thank you so much!!

[@Sandra9135]

My friend turned me on to your channel. Great info! Thank you for putting this on because I have begun my slow balanced diet a little more than a year ago. All the videos were of quick fix weight loss diets and extreme sports but what about the people who are obese! Yep, you answered it. Thank you Ayo and Melissa for this video allowing me to see I can do it. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!!

[@gelidecor7790]

[@eden6355]

Just discovered your channel and you are totally inspiring and this interview has helped light a fire under my toosh to get up and move and sweat. Thank you!

[@MelissaNeill]

You got this!

[@jasminemariedarling]

I've always been interested in bikini competitions, I really admire the dedication! I've weightlifted on and off for decades, but never long enough consecutively to see major results. I was always thin until last year, I gained 50 lbs. Just turned 39 and want to finally achieve my bikini body, for my 40th bday! Love seeing transformations and women like you two, very inspiring! Checking out all your vids 😄

[@MelissaNeill]

Hi Jasmine. If you are already a lifter perhaps competing is something you could try. It does require a lot of discipline but its very motivating to have something to work towards. If you haven't come across it you might want to watch this video on how and why I started competing at age 52! kzbin.info/www/bejne/g6ecc2qerK-laK8

[@MelissaNeill]

I have made 2 more videos since this one about Ayo.

[@ilenestokes6909]

Did Aio do the bikini contest. She lost 110 lbs. I would love to see it.

[@fjhaydn6047]

Getting myself to drink water is the hardest thing for me.

[@maleekalove4499]

Very motivational indeed!

[@MelissaNeill]

Glad you think so!

[@marjoriemartinez9973]

[@missie-leshaerice1508]

We'll do one when Ayo competes whenever that will be?

[@IZionDawta]

You’re stunning!!!!

[@MelissaNeill]

Thank you!!

[@charlottebrennan8863]

Wow she did a fantastic job of losing all of that weight. Would love to hear an update please 👍

[@MelissaNeill]

Hi Charlotte I'm definitely doing an update because Ayo is competing in 2 bikini shows in the Autumn and she looks absolutely incredible even now. She is testimony to what can be achieved with the right mind set attitude and discipline.

[@huey_444]

@@MelissaNeill Thank you Melissa! Your channel is authentic and extremely inspiring. Thank you so much for all that you share. I appreciate you!! Would love to hear an Ayo update.

[@SeasonedWoman1900]

Thanks 😊 I need to lose that much!!

[@miriambenhassen2715]

Love you Melissa❤

[@sarahRA86]

My struggle is giving up junk food, I know I have to and pretty much try everyday but fail by the evening. Any suggestions to combat what I seriously believe to be sugar addiction?

[@thespear4083]

Do it slowly. You can’t stick to a diet if you cut everything out at once. If, for example, you eat 10 doughnuts every day, in week one, eat 9 doughnuts for the first week. Eat less each week. You need to wean yourself off, but it doesn’t mean you have to eliminate everything from your diet. See how your body responds. It’s not a quick fix and you have to find something that will work for a lifetime. Watch Kimonica on KZbin. She takes a gentler approach.

[@anniechorley4940]

Personally, I've found it easier to go cold turkey with sugar, otherwise you never kerb the cravings. Cutting down gradually is like slow torture.

[@debbiel2098]

She never said how she lost it...

[@MelissaNeill]

Strength training, some cardio, good nutrition.

[@MaiaDreams]

@@MelissaNeill that's very general... Would be great if she could elaborate more on the type of diet she followed

[@trenacemassey8264]

Thanks!
