My Weight Loss Journey | How I Lost 30KG (60+Pounds!) |

Hi guys! In this video I get personal about My Weight Loss Journey and How I Lost 30kg as a teen. These are the tips that helped me along the way and hopefully, some of you will find them useful too! Thank you so much for watching!
*Trigger Warning
If you have/are struggling with an eating disorder or find topics like calorie counting to be a sensitive subject please do not watch the video! Your recovery and mental health is way more important!
Also, I want to make it clear that the figure on the scale is not the important part! This is different for everyone and by no means am I suggesting anyone with a similar figure should lose weight! This is purely based off of my previous and current lifestyle.

TIPS from my personal weight loss journey (almost 20KG of fat loss in 5 months !) : I came from the same situation : 89KG for 1,73M, very sedentary and ashamed of myself. I started taking things in control in July 2021. So far, in December 2021 I lost 15KG on the scale, plus muscle gain (since a major part of my workout schedule is musculation). I went from 89KG to 74KG in 5 month. The last thing I wanted was to diet and torture myself, because it has never worked for me before. What I did : - doing some fondamental research about nutrition - calling my new diet a "food rebalancing” = I didnt focus on calories. Only on getting all my nutrients AND NOTHING MORE - getting enough SLEEP : I realized that when I am tired, my body craves for junk food and forgets about balance - cutting off most processed food and junk (where you can find a huge amount of useless calories, sugar and toxins) - baking my own treats, choosing my portions and finding healthier alternatives (ex: crushed banana to replace sugar) - finding my personal balance between protein, carbs and fats - listing my favorite food in those three categories and making my meals around these => when my diet got really balanced and healthy, I realized I couldnt even reach my usual amount of calories ! I was always in a deficit BUT was still getting all the nutrients my body needed to feel energized and satiated. - speeding my metabolism : - drinking 2 to 3L of water a day - drinking teas and infusions - lowering coffee to 1 or two per day - first thing in the morning : having a lemon juice cut with water - chia seed with oatmeal and crushed banana (for sweetness) for breakfast - from time to time : ginger in my tea => eating healthy food and adding diuretic tips (lemon, tea, chia, ginger) was a true DETOX for me, and that is crucial : initially, your body makes body fat in order to protect your organs from toxins, its like a shield. SO draining the toxins tells your body he doesnt have to maintain this shield anymore => it can eventually release the fat ! Doing this I lost about 3KG in 15 days. - breaking sedentary lifestyle : - doing 6000 to 1000 step per day - stand up every hour to walk around my apartment, do some chores, make some tea... - planning at least one outing per day - WORKOUT !!!!!! - ask yourself which sport attracts you (me : Ive always loved water so I started to swim and then discovered aquabike, aquaboxing, aquagym etc. ; and I was fascinated by the world of boxing so I started boxing in a club) - dont kill yourself with cardio : it works short term for calorie loss, but musculation will help you lose more calories during AND after the workout (because muscle recovery takes energy to your body) - do a little bit of cardio for STAMINA => the more you have, the longer and harder youll be able to workout !! - make workout a part of your daily planning : dont be like "I know I HAVE to workout today so Ill do it when I have the time - probably at 10p.m.". Me : I decided to register to lessons in a club, so my workouts are proper outings (including socially !) and they are scheduled. - workout three to six times a week, with intensity and activity variations ! Me : I do boxing twice a week, have a dancing class, workout on weight machines with a group of women once a week, and end my week in a pool where I do a bit of aquabike and hydraulic massage !

Hello i just decided to start my journey today and while searching found the video and then your comment. It was really helpful to me cause I also don't want to refrain myself from eating all the great foods that God has gifted us. But i certainly do have my most liked and least liked foods so as you said I'm going to base my meals on them. Thank you~♡

[@AliceDWolfe]

@@donyam7905 taking a moment to list all the healthy food you love the most is key 🌹🌹🌹 It helps you remembering that some good stuff actually give you the same amount of satisfaction as processed food (for me : salmon, avocado, passion fruit etc.), and gives you the feeling that YOU are choosing your diet, instead of somebody telling you that you have to eat brocoli or quinoa or ginger etc. You control and choose what you eat. I know we don’t hear that a lot when it comes to « diet » but I think it’s essential to make you having fun when you eat and not make you feel like you’re punished or restrained or something !!

DISCIPLINE IS KEY. You can get motivated for a week or two, but consistency then becomes a problem, it is short term journey can't lie when we rely on motivation. discipline is the medicine we need to stay consistent

[@dude8791]

So true

[@GodSoLoved.Yeshua]

Completely agree, ultimately your body will take you to the gym when you don't even want to. Discipline is key.

[@doraaaa0613]

yeah, you can't rely on your motivation all the time to build a habit, and it's a lesson i learned really late. you can 'feel' like you don't want to go out for a run, but it needs to be approached as if it's something as habitual as brushing your teeth. if you can get yourself to get out of bed, brush your teeth and put on your jogging clothes and shoes and take that step out of the house without overthinking it and relying too much on what you feel like doing, that's when your approach changes. because anyone would prefer to stay in bed and not go out, if everyone relied solely on motivation then it would be really hard to form consistent habits. it's another thing if your body is telling you it's sore and tired, i think finding that balance in listening to your body and approaching exercise and other lifestyle changes without relying too heavily on motivation will have you set.

[@maann89]

@@minfires7572 take your time! motivation is overrated when it comes to weight loss because I had several fuck it moments during my weight loss too. All I can say is to be consistent when it comes to picking yourself up after bad days. never stop trying to eat better and move more but also remember that its ok to trip up once in a while as long as you pick yourself up by the boot straps and try again tomorrow :) Hope that helps, but so often people give up because they have a 0-100 mentality when life doesn't work that way cause shit happens. **also extra tips but if you live alone or are able to purchase your own groceries , don't keep any triggering binge foods, or if you can find for low calorie healthier options for your trigger foods even better! , at least until you get better at self control, and definitely take progress pictures and have one clothing item that you can use as a measure of progress because the scale is a scam for most people!**

[@Anna133199]

Yes. Don't let the fat acceptence people tell you, losing weight is 'fatfobic' or anything like that. Or that the health problems are only correlations and being fat doesn't actually cause health problems. It does cause them, and imo it's borderline criminal to try to prevent people from losing weight in a healthy sustainable way. Sure, cancel the detox teas, k-pop diets, etcetera. Slow or moderate weightloss by replacing junk food with vegetables, or juices and sodas with sugarfree tea and water isn't a bad thing. It's a great thing, as long as you don't take it to an extreme. No cutting out all carbs or 500-cal diets.

Some tips from my weight loss journey: -Snack on nuts, seeds (like chia seeds), fruit and yogurt. Make berry smoothies! Berries are low sugar/carb, low calorie. Can be expensive though so I prefer making frozen berry smoothies. Sometimes I add steel cut oats or quinoa or brown/purple rice to my smoothies as well as other veg, it helps to bulk them up. -Must drink 64oz water by 6pm, before dinner! so fills you up before dinner. And try to avoid eating/snacking after 9pm. -Snack on canned tuna or sardines or salmon etc in water or extra virgin olive oil. It has all the good fats (omega 3s) too! -Eat miracle noodles / konjac noodles / miracle tofu noodles or find another pasta alternative that’s low calorie like chickpea pasta (Banza) or quinoa and brown rice pasta (Ancient Harvest - my personal fav), kelp noodles (love), heart of palm noodles, tofu strip noodles! Note: These can be more expensive than regular pasta/rice though but you can find them cheaper if you buy in bulk! -Eat tons of tofu. Not the fried kind. But there’s so many yummy ways to eat tofu! -Canned beans are great. -Fermented foods like kimchi, ojingeojeot (fermented squid/octopus), pao cai, natto are amazing for you! Pickled daikon too. -If eating rice, always eat brown or purple rice (shell on) or sprouted rice. Quinoa is good too. -Steamed or roasted sweet potato / yam / ube! I eat this without additional oil but it’s up to you. -Make bone broth or homemade chicken stock, especially from chicken paws to make it extra gelatinous (more collagen). Drink often (almost as often as water). Drinking collagen peptides powder helps too but personally chicken stock just tastes better and is even better for you. -Workout classes to keep you accountable (if you need external accountability like I do 👍🏻) or a personal trainer are worth it. Can be expensive, but you CAN find deals. Like my gym membership is literally $6/mo in a super high cost of living city in California, I can attend unlimited workout classes, and there are often deals on personal training sessions, like 2 hours of personal training for $40-$50, especially around the holidays. Shop around and/or call different gyms on Black Friday or New Years to see what discounts they have, or have a friend/fam refer you. -Drink chia seed water or chia seed milk, it really really fills you up! Chia seeds can hold up to 27x their weight in water (make sure it’s soaked for maybe 20 min). But make sure to drink lots of water and don’t eat too much chia seeds bc they can also dehydrate you! But they bulk up as soluble fiber inside you and make you fuller, so a small amt is good especially if you need more fiber in your diet. -Challenge: For dessert, only eat dark chocolate and acai bowls. This may be hard for the sweet tooths but I only like dark chocolate so it’s easier for me.

Romans 8:38-39 For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord. ​ I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were either one or the other! So, because you are lukewarm-neither hot nor cold-I am about to spit you out of my mouth. You say, ‘I am rich; I have acquired wealth and do not need a thing.’ But you do not realize that you are wretched, pitiful, poor, blind and naked. I counsel you to buy from me gold refined in the fire, so you can become rich; and white clothes to wear, so you can cover your shameful nakedness; and salve to put on your eyes, so you can see. (Revelation 3:15-18) you cannot live for this world and not try to stop sinning (being cold) and only believing in God(hot) without turning from sin or sinning and saying God will forgive you after or not read the Bible, pray, worship/obeying God. Which is being a lukewarm. If we are neither cold or hot, God will spit us out his mouth. Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders 10nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. 1 Corinthians 6:9-10 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. John 3:16 Proverbs 11:2 “When pride comes, then comes disgrace, but with humility comes wisdom. ” Proverbs 16:5 “The LORD detests all the proud of heart. Be sure of this: They will not go unpunished. Proverbs 16:18 “Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before before a fall. Genesis 1:26-27 - “Then God said, “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness. And let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over the livestock and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth. Jesus is coming back soon!! Repent and believe!! Jesus loves you and wants a relationship with you 🫶🏽 Plis read revelation 3:15-18 on google if you don’t have a Bible. (Exodus 20:7) You shall not invoke the name of the LORD, your God, in vain. Please don’t use Gods name in vain, it’s dangerous Has a nation ever changed its gods? (Yet they are not gods at all.) But my people have exchanged their glorious God for worthless idols. Jeremiah 2:11) having idols of any kind isn’t good 🙅‍♀️ Shall a man make gods unto himself, and they are no gods? Therefore, behold, I will this once cause them to know, I will cause them to know mine hand and my might; and they shall know that my name is The LORD. (Jeremiah 16:20) HAVING IDOLS IS A SIN JEREMIAH 16:20 , JEREMIAH 2:11 Revelation 3:15-18 explains that we can’t be cold and hot at the same time which is being a lukewarm. In other words, if we are hot, which is really repenting and turning from sin) if we are cold we just completely don’t really follow God. If we mix those together it makes a lukewarm which they will be spat out Gods mouth and won’t inherit the kingdom of heaven. For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son,that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.John 3:16. Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends. John 15:13 Romans 8:38-39 .. John 3:16 .. Revelation 3:15-18 Corinthians 6:9.. John 15:13 Psalms 23:4 Psalms 23:4 || Yea, though I walk through The Valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; rod and thy staff they comfort me. Deuteronomy 31:8. The Lord himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged. Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:6-7 JESUS IS COMING BACK SOON!! REPENT BEFORE ITS TOO LATE!!🫶🏽🫶🏽 ✝️❣️

Had started on July 11th, Weighed : 90 kilos/198.4 pounds. Just crossed August 11th, Weighing : 85 kilos/ 187.4 pounds. More than 5 kilos is not a sustainable weight loss guys. Slower the weight loss, sustainable it will be. Few tips I followed: 1. Completely cut off on white sugar. 2. Increased water intake. 3. Dinner before 8 PM. 4. Do not skip meals. 5. Only go for healthy options. Remember - Healthy is tasty too. 6. Go for a walk for an hour or so if you do not have time for gym or any other sort of exercise. My goal weight is : 55 kilos. Let's see where it goes. Thanks :)

A few years ago i walked for 30 minutes every day for 5 months and lost 16,7 Kg. No candy, Coca cola etc. or snacks(Popcorn etc.) :) P.S. No fast foods ofcourse.

[@fayalazmi1815]

In 2020 I lost about 12kg without diet i was eating very well and didn’t release I was losing weight I think it was cuz of fast food because what i was eating wasnt much but it was high calories when everything stopped in covid i lost the weight without trying i was so happy also the slower you lose is better cuz I lost tge wight in 8 months and still didn’t gain my goal is to lose 4-6 kg to be in the way I want and to feel better pray for me cuz I always struggle with losing so much

[@mahumsheikh7512]

I was 114kg three months ago and 105 now. What helped me is Intermittent fasting with calorie restriction to 1200-1400 calories per day. Goal weight is 70 kg

[@jess82384]

@@Ad-cv8uv Sure!!! I've lowered my sugar intake a lot - no more sugar in my tea/coffee, no more jam or Nutella on toast, no more fizzy drinks etc.. Drink 2L of water everyday. Take a minimum of 5,000 steps everyday but aim for 10,000 (try to walk everywhere and avoid public transport, driving, or taxis). I do a short yoga session in the evenings to help improve flexibility and strength. I've also started the NHS Couch 2 5K running plan which was super hard at first, but I've definitely felt fitter over the past month or so!

I identified myself so much, I’ve always been the tall and big girl (I’m 1,69cm) so I never bothered about my weight until recently, when my self esteem was at the bottom in the quarantine. I went to 80 kg!! So I decided to change healthily, changing my diet (smaller portions, doing exercises). I started in june with 80kg, now in February I’m 68,5kg, my waist and abdominal circumference are much much smaller. I also use videos on KZbin as motivation, just like yours! Seeing other people loose weight healthily is the best

i’ve been doing keto + intermittent fasting since the start of 2021 and i’ve lost 10lbs this month!! low carb is saving my life, it has completely helped me get out the constant snack cycle and i don’t constantly think about food since my blood sugar isn’t all over the place. i’m so excited and encouraged to keep going, you all can do it! so far i haven’t done much exercise other than my step goal everyday (7700 w/ my smart watch) and drinking water w/ lemon throughout the day. weighing everything you eat is so important and helps you track the exact calories, i got a cute pink kitchen scale and i use it everyday! consistency is so key, just keep your mind on the goal even if you fall off the wagon 😊

I used to be around 44-45kg, when quarantine came around, I gained a lot of weight and I am now 52.8kg. I keep regretting not working out and overeating during quarantine and I feel absolutely horrible about my body right now. Last week, I decided to start doing something about it. Since I’m still in school, I don’t have that much time to workout. I’m aiming to do at least ten minutes of cardio a day (and since I walk to school, I’ll have around 5-10k steps as well). I’m also going to start snacking less and replacing snacks with healthier options. It’s not much, but I am making an effort to get in better shape. I’ll record my weight here and I hope everyone can also follow along with my journey! Height: 160cm Weight: 52.8kg Goal: 47kg (starting off with a more attainable goal ^-^) Day 1: 52.8kg Day 2: 52.5kg Day 3: 52.5kg Day 4: off day, studying for finals Day 5: (walked 13.5k steps) Day 6: 52.5kg (went out so ate a bunch haha) Day 7: I forgot to weigh myself, but I did a ten min workout Day 8: 52.25kg (I got braces!) Day 9: gosh I ate a bunch of ice cream, the braces *hurt* Days 10-11: school finals, i worked out at least tens mins each day, but i just didnt weigh myself Day 12: 51.6kg (weighed in the morning so there might be a difference) Day 13-14: finals, I skipped these days cus ive been so tired Day 15: 51.25kg (weird it went down, but my guess is that I haven’t been eating anything cus braces) Instead of recording this day by day, I think I’m going to record it weekly instead! It just makes it easier to record even though I will still try to workout everyday. Week 1 (starting from where I left off): 51.5 makes sense bc as I started getting used to my braces, I was able to eat again. Week 2: next week :D
