My Weight Loss Journey | Minks4All

[@Minks4All]

This video was tough but I poured my heart and soul out ♥️ It’s a sensitive subject, but if sharing my journey helps someone out there, then I’d do it all over again. Thank you so much for watching. I love you guys to the moon and back 💋

[@calindagurl29]

Minks4All Huge Hug to you Minnie !! Keep up the good work, that’s something to be very proud of xoxo

[@5t3phani33]

LOVE YOU TOO!😘

[@sanamirza5988]

Yayyyyy 🙌 🙌 🙌 Go Minnie! !! You are an inspiration!! Hugs & Kisses😙😙😙

[@sherisheribaby9450]

By far the most real member of the luxe community. I love them all, but Minnie is the one that I want to take a road-rage, four-letter word filled ride with, Thelma and Louise style.

[@miekogirlie99]

So inspirational & so relatable. Same journey as me but you’re wearing more amazing shoes ❤️

[@BeautifulYouShow]

Being fat is not a character flaw or disability. It's believing that you are any less because of it that's the flaw. I honestly didn't notice the size difference until the side by side pics. Your bubbliness and enthusiasm is what I saw.

[@katchiaow7330]

Very true.

[@shannyc570]

What a beautiful comment❤️ you are amazing

[@cleanwaternasenyiuganda8124]

Yes! Beauty at every size ❤

[@ItsJillStrif]

Oh Minnie it will all be okay! I’m so happy that you’ve been able to accomplish this for yourself. There is a Bible verse that I love, which is 1 Samuel 16:7 “But the Lord said to Samuel, “Do not consider his appearance or his height, for I have rejected him. The Lord does not look at the things people look at. People look at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.”

[@Moomookitty-vq3ch]

I'm so proud of both you and Robert. I lost 103 pounds 15 years ago, and I've kept it off. I also had a health scare with a rare blood disorder that made me take control of every single thing I ate. Honestly I was taking much better care of my designer handbags better than my own body. I would never have touched my handbag after eating fried foods because the oil and grease would have damaged the leather, so why would I give it to my body? I love your message about how you feel about yourself and how to love yourself. I know your going to inspire many others. Huge hug to you darling Minnie.

[@MsShannon213]

I’m only 26 seconds in, but I just want to say I am so proud of you that you are as strong as you are. It takes a lot for someone to talk about their journey and It may not always be easy, but you put in a lot of hard work and you set your mind to something and accomplished it ❤️ we love you Minnie

[@trisharamsey5419]

Minnie, I’ve been watching you for a little while now. When I started watching you, I never once noticed your weight. What I saw was a beautiful, well spoken, funny, woman with a beautiful giggle and smile. I still see all of that -plus I see a strong, brave, woman who is willing to share her difficult journey with others. You are an inspiration in many ways.

[@HelloKitty-iy4lp]

I cry while watching this! I love all your handbag review videos, but after this video I even love you more! I can't believe what you had to go through, Thank God you are now healthy and living your best! Your journey was amazing, and you are beyond beautiful!

[@HisGraceAloneMinistry]

Thank you for your video. I am a 50 year old woman that is trying to lose 100lbs. I can use all the encouragement I can get and your video was definitely that. I have lost 26 so far, but it's slow going. And for someone that never had a weight issue until the age of 40, it's hard to deal with. I have very little will power. Or at least it feels like it. I have watched your videos for some time now and have always thought you were a beautiful, well put together lady. To know that someone like you has similar issues, makes me feel maybe there is hope for this old lady LOL. Thank you!

[@licensedandinsureda5698]

dc roby your not even close to being old and yes it's doable. Your gonna do it 😘

[@heynedajoon]

If you think 50 is old you are watching too many 20 year olds on KZbin!

[@nicolenashcroft]

You can do it! I am here if you need a buddy! Its hard. I always tell people no one ever tells you how hard it is. You just see the happy peppy end result. I am here for encouragement and support @dc roby.

[@hilaryunderwood5580]

I can totally relate, was teased for being “too skinny” most of my life until turning 40 and now everything I eat seems to go to my stomach & hips, I don’t get it 🤷🏼‍♀️😖!

[@irenebarnett1748]

I love this video Minnie! Had tears in my eyes as I know the feeling I undertook my healthy lifestyle change in October and have lost 23kg. This video is everything that I felt when I undertook this journey which is to be happy and healthy. Lots of love 💖💖

[@cwalsh4992]

It was the same for me :) 100%. Got me right in the heart! Almost 10 years ago now, I also did the same and lost 25kg (and I've kept it off).

[@heyyyjune]

Congratulations Minnie! As someone who has to manage the complications related to being overweight on a daily basis, I know that losing weight for so many people is always the hardest thing to achieve. So proud of how far you've come and you're journey! xx

[@AmyGodBlessAmerica]

You are so right. Diets don't work. Lifestyle change for the long haul is the only way. :) And to those who may want to see a professional, please be sure to talk with a Registered Dietitian. Anyone can call themselves a "nutritionist". The advice Mini gives was pretty spot. on. Sinserely, A Registered Dietitian who also loves handbags, shoes, makeup etc.... :)

[@SYRSALLY]

What a wonderful video. I’m a 68 year old woman and on December 31st I said it may be too late but I need to get the weight off and get healthy. As of today I am down 20.4 lbs and have along way to go but if I stick with it I may be able add a few more years to my life. I also had my gall bladder out about 10 years ago. You are so beautiful and try not to focus on those co workers and what they say. You’ll find people get jealous of you if that happens.....it is their problem....not yours. You look great and I feel your pain. After my son died 7 years ago I really tried to eat myself happy. If course that didn’t work so I’m now on a new path. Congratulations and I hope I can be that proud of myself in time. God Bless you. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@angelicearthling]

I think with changing your lifestyle it is always good to look at it from a health perspective, and self love perspective rather than just wanting to be 'skinny'. I think too many people, especially women just think about weight loss in terms of their looks, rather than focusing on self love and improving their health. I'm so glad you are feeling better. :)

[@breathless1997]

I'm a longtime subscriber and viewer, but I've never commented...until today. I was completely moved by this video-it brought me to tears. It hurts my heart to know how you've struggled, and I wanted you to know that I've ALWAYS thought you are gorgeous and have one of the most beautiful smiles I've ever seen! Thank you for sharing.

[@carlabellepena]

This video was as if Im the one speaking the whole time! You made me feel so better and encouraged, i am about to start my own healthy living journey and hopefully one day i can share to you my success story as well. Ps this is my firt comment in your video and ive been watchin you for yeaaarsss. Thank you Ms M!

[@courtneyd.4061]

Minnie, this is hands down the most genuine, heart felt video I've ever watched on KZbin. As someone who has also struggled with weight and over the years successfully lost 78lbs, I can relate to so much of what you said. I still have an immediate family member that has to make comments about my previous weight to the point where I have to look past my reaction of "Wow, I was really that bad huh?". Anyway, thank you from the bottom of my heart for putting out this video. I know it will help many people look beyond the number on the scale. You are in inspiration in many ways, and you are appreciated. (P.S. - love the slight change in the shelves haha). XOXOXOXO - Courtney, Long Island, NY.

[@ChristyJ]

Oh Minnie...what a raw and honest video...thank you for being so transparent and open about your journey! You are amazing and inspiring.

[@amirafrencillo119]

Minnie thank you for sharing your journey with all of us. I know it must have been difficult to share publicly. You have always been and will always be such a wonderful personality here on KZbin! Seeing how much happier you are now with your hard work and new lifestyle is inspirational! You look fabulous! But for the record... your internal beauty will always be Gold! Bless x

[@ginaa.4539]

I am so inspired by your "real talk" about this very personal health issue. I appreciate the raw emotion you relayed in each step (before, during and after the weight loss/health gains). It such a sensitive topic for me also as I struggle with weight. I really like how you approached the issue by focusing on getting your liver in check and the resulting weight loss as an added bonus. Being overweight, for me, weighs me down physically and emotionally. I'm glad you are healthy and feel the freedom of success! Excellent work!

[@justjami435]

Girl, I'm a big girl and I still love this video. Not because your size...But because you feel better and feel proud of yourself and that's what is important. I think beauty comes in all shapes and colors...But you look beautiful, because you look so happy Minnie. Good for you!!!

[@allysmith2284]

I have noticed your weight loss in your videos.... I have a similar story as you and have recently lost 22kgs over the last year..... the best thing I found was getting a job I loved and buying a horse as well as making sure I was on the right vitamins.... much more physical excersise and being too busy to just sit around and eat has helped me HEAPS! Congratulations Minnie!! You should be so proud😊

[@jamielee1412]

I love how you call your indulgences “free days” rather than “cheat meals”. It’s crazy what a difference that makes! Thank you so much for this video there were so many points that I have found true for my own weightloss journey, and it’s so helpful to hear someone else experiencing the same things!

[@lvluxdelight]

Congratulations. You're absolutely right: your mind has to be WILLING to change your lifestyle. Eating healthy and working out is def a lifestyle. You should be EXTREMELY proud of yourself. It's all in the MIND

[@emilypound]

This is the most common sense, down-to-earth discussion about weight issues, weight loss, and pinpointing the right motivation for weight loss that I have ever heard on KZbin ... and I've watched a lot of weight loss videos. :) When I listened to you tell your story, I felt like I was listening to myself. I've struggled with weight all my life. My health and working on my weight loss continues to be a work in progress. We all have to come to that exact point in our lives when we know deep inside what the motivation is and be prepared to execute it. Simple as that. Sometimes we get close to success, but not close enough. And we take a break, absorb the "failure" and wait till we feel strong enough to try again. That's where I am right now. But I felt so inspired listening to you. I think you are wonderful. :)

[@katiedoucet4848]

First, Nothing made me happier then watching your v-day bag reveal and hearing you say “for reference I’m 5’-2”.” END OF SENTENCE! no “and I’m on the curvalicious side”! Two, your coworkers sound like a-holes! Third, I’m so proud of you for taking control of your health, but even more than that, the change that has happened internally! Your confidence shines through!

[@ciaracoleman4452]

Katie Doucet I noticed when she took that line out of her description as well and I was sooo happy for her!

[@abracadabraalakazam.]

I noticed that as well! So happy for her and all of her hard work

[@catherinekimm9265]

Thank you for this video. This morning I cried all the way through my boxing PT sessions today. Frustrated at myself and my body, I was re writing all those labels all over my body. I felt Im trying so hard for so long to get healthy. I want to be strong and lose this weight I carry and I feel like Im not getting anywhere. I needed to hear you today, I needed you to share. Thank you Minnie. So I'm pulling up my big girl panties and Im going to keep going because you did. And if you can and do then so can I ( I hope) xx

[@NicoleGiamatti]

Awww this video. While I sit in my tears awww it’s the boost I needed to just keep going. I’m on 2 mo in and results are really hard to see but I’m going to keep going. I will keep going. I’m really happy for you and thank you so much for sharing.

[@katesmith4687]

What an honest video. I completely identify with how hearing “ just eat less and workout” does nothing but cause shame. Hearing your story of perseverance and hope is so great. Inspiring me to start my journey.

[@MelinMelbourne]

So proud of you! What an amazing, inspiration story! I know this would have helped so many people! It’s so true, so much of the battle is in the mind. I’m SO HAPPY that you are so much happier now and more importantly healthy! Thank you for sharing babe xo 😘

[@sandee1000]

Thank you for this

[@CapeCodBelle]

Thank you for sharing your story so openly and honestly. I’m sure you have helped many of your viewers and subscribers with this video. You are a truly inspiring woman Minnie!

[@marinacaravas]

I can totally sympathise with you. I’m at my biggest now and it’s so hard! You go girl!!

[@RebeccaNeffati]

You lady are an inspiration. You absolutely rock. This video is so raw and honest and I applaud you for being so brave in addressing a topic that so many of us are made to feel too ashamed to talk about. You had me in tears as I know exactly how you felt as I myself have been there. You are my hero!

[@daisy3384]

I'm not a purse KZbinr but my sister is and shared your video with her sisters. I'm going to the gym after watching it. When you can move even non-subscribers, you've done a good job. Congratulations 💙💦

[@desiree_kp7718]

I see YOU Minnie!!! You have done a kindness here, sharing this video with your subbies. Although your progress into health has been remarkable, I am most impressed with your heart. Your heart, my friend, is truly remarkable. 💞

[@ajlundeen]

How inspirational. I give you tons of credit. I have been trying to lose 10-15 pounds and it has been so hard and discouraging. I know I need to exercise but I get home from an 8 hour day and I’m spent. The last thing I want to do is exercise. Plus I’m not as young as you...I’m 59. How did you get motivation/energy to exercise after working all day? I’m proud of what you have accomplished.

[@leooooo222]

Minnie this is amazing!!!! So so proud of you!!!! You seem so happy!! I'm going through the same struggles..I don't love working out. I will go for a while and eat super strict and lose a few pounds and then fall off the wagon. It's a never-ending cycle and I am completely unhappy with who I see in the mirror. I hope that I am able to find the motivation like you did. You're amazing!

[@ourchannelofthisandthat]

Minnie you are such an inspiration. Look how far you've come! You should be so proud. Congratulations on finding your true self again and thank you for sharing xx

[@selenevaldez5251]

I would like to say that this is first time that I have ever leave a comment on any you tube video that I watch, I was so moved by your video and would like to say , Thank you so much for sharing your journey, there are so many similarities that you shared in this video which left me shock especially when it comes to liver and gallbladder problems, thank you for giving me that push that I needed....

[@lgautier7533]

Coming from someone that came from a size 26/28 and is now size 4/6. I totaalllyyyy get it Minnie. Great job! Regardless of the circumstance, you took back control of your health. Congratulations!

[@Diva2themax]

You are goals!!!! Congratulations to both ladies!

[@DraChristiana]

Dear Minnie! You’re absolutely right! It’s not about a number in the scale, it’s about changing your state of mind! You look amazing, but not because you are thinner. It’s because you are stronger! Someone who is capable off doing what you did, never came back! Now you know how strong, persistent, resilient you are able to be. And that’s the big change! Congratulations on your willpower!

[@sherritalbot3399]

You always "labeled" yourself curvalicious!! I never saw that. You are such a beautiful person inside and out. I mean this from the bottom of my heart. I feel like I know you. I go thru the same thing and always think I need to eat better but I need to do something about it just like you did. Congrats on your weight loss and I never thought you were fat anyways. You look beautiful no matter what size you are because you are YOU! Just always stay you! I love you for you! I so feel like I know you. Thankyou for sharing 💕😘

[@daniellewilliams1582]

Mini your story has hit close to home for me, I always watch your videos and this one couldn’t have come at a better time. Thank you for sharing, you are a shining light in this world.

[@hiromi_journeyto6023]

Thank you!!! I'm watching the video in its entirety and all I will say is Amen. Are you in my head? Yes. Thank you again great background for this video, cause I think the bags would have been distracting. I want to make health my obsession, I hope it's like buying luxury items, I just want more. I will see. Your a healthy cutie now.

[@ThePrettyeyes341]

WHOOO GO GIRL!!! I was tearing up with you and nodding in agreement when you talked about certain things such as changing your mindset and I loved how you understand that being healthy is a LIFESTYLE NOT A DIET. I lost 31 pounds on Atkins/low carb lifestyle and I totally relate. I'm ecstatic for you and wish you continued blessings and success!

[@PandoraBoxMusic]

Congratulations, sweet Minnie! May your future be full of health and as beautiful as you. Thank you for sharing your experience, I recognize myself in so much that you said! I only have a complaint about this video: I missed your usual radiant smile! :)

[@NYCBrat]

I couldn't be happier for you Minnie! I know your struggle, been there (lost 100+ lbs), and I respect /admire you for sharing such personal, intimate details with all of us. Thank you for that, and for your generous heart. Your health and happiness is so well deserved. Not to mention you look BEYOND AMAZING!! WTG girl -- soooo proud of you! 👛 xx

[@shawnchristinejones5136]

Congratulations on all your hard work...it has certainly paid off! Sometimes a health scare can be a blessing and you definitely have shown that. Wishing you continued success 😘. You’re absolutely beautiful!!!!!

[@booksandbags1790]

Thank you for sharing your journey with us. This came at such a perfect time for me. And thank you so much for mentioning how upsetting it can be when people comment “wow you’ve lost so much weight, you look amazing” etc. I know that they are coming from a good place, and trying to be supportive but they don’t understand how hurtful that can be for some of us. So Inspiring! We love you!

[@mrsjantwo]

Thank you for sharing such a personal and emotional journey. When I was 18 I was in the house when I heard a gunshot and it was my mother. She committed suicide. I ate my emotions up and down the scale for years. Now I eat clean. You are such an inspiration❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@Lifeplasty]

I am so sorry that you suffered such a tragedy in your life. You are so strong to be here and living healthy. X

[@sabellamalone551]

You are so brave, Minnie! I felt you were talking about me. Everything you said I felt (from mentality to coworkers and family), and I did lose over 40lbs. I am, just like you, focusing on my health and not the number on the scale. Thank you so much for sharing your experience! Never change! Your sincerity, smile, and kindness are priceless.

[@ciliawillia9454]

❤️❤️❤️Minnie you are Amazing ❤️❤️❤️ I wish people would realize how bad certain foods can damage your organs. Seeing this part of you makes my ❤️sing❣️ yes handbags 👜 are so beautiful and it makes us happy ......but seeing you happy in your new 20’s, & when you upload your vlogs it really shows how happiness comes from within you and the people who surround you and not just material stuff I’m glad you’ve had Robert and your mom as your best supporters Many Many Blessings to you ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@rachelesparza7833]

Oh my gosh Minnie I felt like you were talking about me! I know exactly how you feel. That is my life! I still haven't had that break through moment. I really wish I would. I keep telling myself, "why don't you just stop eating what you know you shouldn't!" And yet I still do. Your journey has been so inspirational too me!!! You look absolutely fabulous!!!! Thank you so much for sharing your story! I really have taken it to heart!! Sending you a big hug!

[@noemiacevedo2062]

Thank you for sharing! You are amazing. We love you

[@farnhamcastle7621]

I was diagnosed with with Gall Stones yesterday! I too have struggled with my weight forever. I've done the crash diets where you encouraged to lose masses of weight fast. I've since read that losing weight fast can give you Gall Stones! I felt starving myself and losing weight was the way to go. How stupid! When you have a health issue it makes you completely re think the food you put into your body. Our bodies serve us so well we need to nourish and take care of them. You are truly inspiring, thank you so much for sharing your journey. Your post has really helped me get my head around my current situation and given me lift I need. Sending lots of love from a chilly UK. Xx

[@carnationcorsages]

[@jenniferknorman]

So. Much. Respect. Thank you for your brutal honesty with your struggle and achievements. You are such an inspiration! It’s so evident in your face and body language how difficult this was for you to talk about, but what shines so much greater is the strength you have gained. Keep it up love ❤️

[@lizwhitner2458]

Congratulations on all of your hard work! Thank you for sharing your story; you will encourage a lot of people by sharing your journey.

[@meganstefanelli5035]

I have followed you for about 4 years now and love to watch your videos and see how open you are to your audience congrats you deserve it thank you for sharing your journey with us!!

[@southlove]

I think the phrase cheat day should be replaced with I’m being extra kind to myself today. My mantra through the same journey was and still is flour and sugar are not my friends. The best video I have seen on YT in a very long time. Thank you very much for sharing!

[@Kennedy4295]

I just want to give you a big hug I see how hard this is for you to make this video and to make yourself vulnerable. My story mirrors yours a lot. I was called tiny when I was little as an adult I was far from tiny. I also ended up in the hospital with failing gallbladder, fatty and infected liver. My gallbladder is gone now and I’ve lost a lot of weight. I wish you all the health and happiness in the world💜💜 You look amazing but the beautiful part to see is how happy you truly are now in your videos. We all love you at any weight but are celebrating your health and happiness with you congratulations💜🤗

[@hooimingng5924]

Thanks a lot Minnie for making this brave and difficult video... I had some scares in my last blood tests and am working towards losing 10kg... a difficult journey but am buoyed by your inspiring story and experience... carry on influencing lives in your own special way.. you go girl!

[@Wendys_lovinglife]

Good for you Minnie!!!!!! You look amazing but you RADIATE health and happiness which is the most important thing. xoxo Wendy

[@tmjah94]

Hi Minnie! I had stopped watching your videos and quite frankly, all luxe you tubers. I was trying to concentrate on getting my finances together for 2018 and these videos tempted me to want more than I could afford. Something struck me last night to seek out your channel thinking that I could find some inspiration to “spruce up” something that I already own. Well to my surprise, I found inspiration but not for handbags! EVERYTHING you said in this video resonated with me. Thank you so much for your transparency, your story and your genuine love for your followers! My health issues are what have sent my finances out of control - hence the no luxury items for a while stance. I have got to change my mind and my mindset and take care of me! I’m so proud of you and I’m so happy that God saw fit to make you and Robert soul and life mates. He sounds amazingly supportive! May God bless you both! ❤️

[@ToulisRoulis]

I’ve been watching you for a long time!!! You are such a lovely, warm and beautiful person!!! I’m really happy for you!!! You deserve the best!!!💛❤️🎈💝💖⭐️🎁🎉💕💙

[@melm2459]

Thank you so much for your honesty! While you are always such a genuine person in your videos, it is so nice to have a bit of “real life” in the KZbin community. Weight is a big issue for us women and I know there are so many out there who are going through what you have. I am so proud of you for your strength in this journey and thankful you have been blessed with such a supportive family. Having your husband with you on this journey must have made it much easier to bear through the tough times. Thank you so much for all you do, including sharing with us this part of your life. You are an inspiration to so many people!

[@JerushaCouture]

You are a superstar my angel girl and I am so honored that I have had the pleasure of hugging and squeezing you to show you how proud I am for you for your health. You are a shining star 💋

[@sunny3004-q8r]

I’m terribly sorry for all you’ve gone through but thrilled that you’ve found greater happiness and peace in good health. Many of us have the same struggles so thank you for sharing. It takes a ton of courage to make such a change ❤️❤️

[@NewJANeration]

Totally understand what you say. I applaud you for opening up. You are a beautiful, amazing woman and you can be so proud of yourself :*

[@TheresaTrychanel5]

Minnie I was once 220lbs (I’m 5 foot8) and at that time in my life I didn’t feel so good about myself. I had warning health scares and that if I didn’t do something about now, it would later catch up to me. So just as you did Minnie...I took control of my nutrition and exercise regimen...and now I feel so much better at 60lbs less. So ....all the emotions that you spilled out in this video...I was with you on every single word. I totally understood everything that your saying because I was once there; coworkers, family neighbors, all had something to say...some good , bad or jealous and all though it’s been some years since my weight loss...I still find myself (sometime) thinking that I’m larger then I am...the struggle is real but it does get easier. Thank you again for sharing your journey. Love you Minnie and btw: you look beautiful then and now. God bless

[@loreleihopkinsart]

Love you for being you. Thank you for sharing your journey and may it be a source of inspiration for many. Take care xx

[@Imagal19]

You are so beautiful Minnie inside and out! I am extremely proud of you because I know these videos are so hard for you to make, but they are so helpful. Thank you so much for sharing this with us! You are someone I look up to and I feel like you are like sister giving me advice. Focus on your health instead of the weight on the scale are words to live by! You are a huge inspiration!

[@emeliem86]

You are such an inspiration Minnie❤️

[@gatorblue11]

I’m so happy for you Minnie! There is nothing more amazing than being happy within your own skin. Every date or party is more enjoyable when getting dressed isn’t so stressful. I recently lost 20lbs myself over the course of a year. A lot of people expect you to lose weight fast and diet drastically, but slow and steady was a good pace for me. I would recommend that way to anyone who is embarking on a similar journey. Focus on healthy and the scale will follow slowly but next thing you know, a year goes by and viola! ❤️❤️

[@NastasiaM53]

Oh Minnie, I was very much looking forward to this video as a successful moment for you and my curiosity on how you achieved your goal and keep to stay motivated, but I have never thought on the reasons behind your weight loss or even better the weight gain. However, I am very proud of you and for how you learned to be and eat healthy. It was very emotional and I really appreciate you shared your story with us. Thank you for that. This inspires me to may share a similar story of mine where I won’t talk about me, but about someone very close to me where food and mental pressure changed a life. Minnie you look beautiful, enjoy your moment, you did a very good job and make it a fabulous day or not, the choice is yours. Stay strong sweety, xoxo ❤️💋

[@DGCABRE]

[@miashin4086]

You are truly an inspiration. Thank you for doing this video.

[@christinnorthrop9471]

Minnie!!!!! Thank you thank you for this! I feel like our stories are so similar. Ever since I had a child 10 years ago I could never lose the weight. I also had a hard time transitioning into a stay at home mom. I also had a couple health issues and had a bad reaction to a drip that left me anxious and depressed. Also after my first son we could no longer have any kids. So food was my comfort. I packed on so much weight. I tried every diet and lost weight and put more back on. The last time I went to the doctor they put me on meds for pre diabetes, I knew something had to change. So this year I decided to not lose weight but to get healthy!! I hired a trainer who works out with me and gave me a meal plan, not a crazy diet but healthy eating. It’s actually exactly what you eat! I have a lot of weight to lose and a long way to go but I’m happy I started the journey. So thank you for this video, I feel like I can relate to your situation and you have given me encouragement to keep going. So thank you for being open. I know how uncomfortable it is to talk about weight but thank you for doing it! I wish you all the best! You look amazing but more than that you are healthy!!!!!!!

You’ve always looked beautiful. I’m so proud of your journey to be healthy, a true inspiration to many! Thank you so much for your vulnerability and making the choice of putting your journey (as uncomfortable and nervous as you mentioned you are) for the sake of helping others. You are truly a genuine lady! Tons of hugs Mrs. Minni!!

Thank you, we love you & appreciate you Xx

I'm reallyy proud of you. I always love watching your handbag videos and had no idea of this journey in your life. This couldn't have been easy for you to talk but yet again you've made an excellent video. This is probably the best video you have ever made (I'm my opinion). Very well done on what you've achieved. We all owe it to our body to look after it in the same way that we would anything that is precious to us. To achieve what you have is truly worthy of celebration and congratulations. You're a beautiful, strong, happy, positive and healthy person. May you and your happiness (Robert) always be so.

I normally don’t leave comments on any videos but i had too as I know it’s never easy to talk about ur personal issues but u should be very proud of ur self ad Thanku for sharing

[@yeamaneal5652]

Bravo!!! What a heartfelt video. Thank you so much for being so candid with your subscribers. I have complemented your weight loss a few times but it was just to say I was so proud of you and you were just giving me the motivation to do something. You don’t have any idea how many lives you touch with this channel. You have such a sparkling personality. I am so thrilled that I discovered your channel.

You did such an amazing job.That is one of the keys. Try to get all family on board and do not have processed foods in the house at all.

Marla Robinson this is really important! I’m going through the transition stage with zero carb currently and the carb cravings can be difficult at times! Sugar addiction is so real!

[@cherished_journey1992]

So glad you did this video! A lot of people go through this or are going through it, I was one of them and with God have lost 75-80 lbs. I loved hearing your journey and am so happy for you! You were beautiful inside and out then and are now! God bless!

very inspiring. helped me get off of my "blah" hiatus

[@rosedavis3535]

Sometimes we need a wake up call. For me it was fighting auto immune disorder but I am thankful that I am alive and got a second chance to make things right. I have learned so much about food and how it effects us. Watching some documentary movies like Fed UP, really opened my eyes to the crisis that out nation is facing when it come to food. So glad you took your health as a priority . I wish you all the best going forward.

[@LuxPurselove]

I have always found you beautiful inside and out. I appreciate your honesty on this subject. I agree diets don't work it's lifestyle. So happy for you and how you feel! 😘Xoxo

[@Kammitoes]

You’re absolutely an inspiration. ....and you’re no more or less beautiful than you were a year ago, more importantly you are now beautiful and healthy. More power to you🌟🌻

[@barbaragreening3819]

You look great both ways hun but so glad you are eating right for your health I’m calorie counting and it’s amazing what junk we eat .❤️❤️❤️

Minnie! Crying and feeling every word you said on this video. Thank you for this! ❤️ I used to be bullied in school and when I was 14 I realized that I wasn’t gonna continue that way. Is not easy for me to look the way I look now. I wake up every morning at 5am to head to the gym and watch what I eat all the time. My coworkers make fun of me because I dont eat bad foods like them.I choose to have a personal trainer who pushes me twice a week and a nutrionist coach who updates my macros every week. Yes is a luxury to do all that and probably somebody will choose to get another LV bag instead of what I do but I choose to be happy first and I am happy when I look good in my own skin. Confidence and self-esteem are priceless to me plus knowing I am healthy is the best feeling. You are doing what’s best for you and I am so happy to follow your journey. Big hug to you! And so proud of all the hard work you are putting in! ❤️👏🏼

[@narelleravesi4993]

Minnie you are very brave in doing this video,l have always said you are such a beautiful sole inside and out Xoxo 💕

[@ninallerena617]

I have started seeing your video on my phone and then I went to see it on my laptop. I believed your video deserved all my attention and respect. I struggle with weight and I am in the yo -yo stage. I truly admire you for what you have accomplished and for sharing this video with us. Thank you from the bottom of my heart because you are helping me into embrace in the journey of not coming back to see me in the mirror and not recognize who is the person in the image because down deep my heart that person it is not me. Thank you!

[@LindaKlinton]

Thank you so much for sharing. I'm happy you are better now. And you also look amazing, no matter what size you are

[@Cyn.micaela]

I think I needed this.. thank you. I’ve had weight problems for 14yrs now (I’m 27) and I lost the weight 2yrs ago for my wedding but got too comfortable and lazy after it and now I’ve gained all the weight, again.. it’s frustrating and it has made me very depressed especially since I’m only 5ft tall. Thank you for inspiring me to get back to changing my habits and basically waking up again. Thank you for showing me it can be done even in baby steps. Its hard and I appreciate the fact that you’re strong enough to share this with us. Hope you get to where you want to be Minnie♥️

[@jaboubaa928]

I completely understand you. I gained 70 lbs since I came into this country 18 years ago. The food here is bad as well the lifestyle.

[@oneworld24]

Jabou baa it’s hard in the US. The food that’s available is really bad.

[@jaboubaa928]

oneworld24 yes it is. In my country everything is organic simple and fresh. You only have 3 meals and sweat all day long.

[@hearts_of_leather2641]

Wow ! Thanks fur sharing in detail. You inspired my back in October of last year. I was diagnosed with pre- diabetes and was going to class for this, but was having trouble loosing weight. After saying that you rarely go out to eat, I started doing the same. This helped kick start my weight loss. You have totally inspired me. Love you much !!!!!!
