Well done Carla for posting this vlog. You've acknowledged your problem and put it out there for all to see. You're a brave lady. We're 100% supporting you, go for it!

[@lynneclarkson2323]

I’m a soon to be 74 year old was put on a diet at the age of 10 been on diets ever since . I’ve been thin ,fat and somewhere in between but I’m still trying and will continue to try but no more clubs or stupid eating plans just good fresh food. We can do this Carla no judgment slow and steady wins the race 😘😘

[@CaroleSP]

Saying that weight loss is not easy is an understatement! We are all with you hun, and wish you the very best. Xxx

[@greensnowfall7476]

It takes a lot of guts and integrity to post a video this honest. Bravíssima!! 👏🏻🤩

[@margaretanne7762]

You haven't failed carla.I think you are incredibly honest and brave.you have inspired me to get back on My weight loss journey.

[@gaynorprior9864]

Carla you can do this,we are all behind you 👍👍😊

[@Katie-uj8xz]

Exactly what I was going to say xx

[@SueWard]

Carla I was 36 stone at my heaviest. I did WW, I tried SW, that brought me to 29.13, joined nutracheck. I’m now down to 24.3. I’ve had knee clean out op, I suffer with my back. I’ve an underbelly (skin) that needs operating on but can’t because of recovery due to my size. Weight brings its own problems doesn’t it. Pain made me do it. I had swollen legs, I feel like a granny with pressure stocking. I relate. Everyone is with you. Since doing nutracheck I’ve not looked back. I been plodding along and it’s taken 2 years to lose 5 and half. But this isn’t about me, it’s about YOU. FAILURE IS ONLY IF YOU STOP TRYING ❤ surround yourself with people who support you

[@Joan-COYI]

Well done Sue. You too are an inspiration

[@paulined4190]

Great success story. ❤❤❤❤

[@siantowers1243]

Well done Sue ,you are so inspiring.Ivegot a new hip and knee but still have lots of aches in other places and health problems .It's a long journey but il keep trying .xx.

[@bridiellewellyn8469]

You are doing brilliantly 🎉

[@madelinedavies9110]

This is so brave of you. Praying for you. YOU CAN DO THIS, go you we are right behind you. x

[@rubytuesdayfromlondontown9194]

Very well done for getting back on the bike Carla. This video must have been so hard for you to film. Most of us relate…I certainly do. Good luck lovely lady ❤

[@cathyfromcanada637]

I'm glad to see you're trying again. A lot of us have similar problems with weight, pain, and middle-aged depression. We do need to normalize discussing it as our mother's generation were too embarrassed to.

[@Baglady111]

Hi Carla,I could see you were close to tears at times. Don’t let this get you down - you can do this and you know it. You’ve done it before and you can do it again. No, it’s not easy but it is do-able. I’m dieting too (stopped smoking and put on 3 stone) and so are many of your followers. We can all do it together xx big hugs 😘😘

[@wendyfleming3563]

Bless you Carla, I love watching you for your happiness. Hopefully you'll soon get your positive head on. You can do it Carla, we all have faith in you. Sending love xx

[@moirajack]

Carla, you're not on your own in this. I'm a lot older than you and I'm just the same, the weight has piled on and it makes me so depressed and unhappy, I ache, cant stand or walk for any length of time and lost all my confidence and self esteem. Keep going, let's all share encoragement and love. WE CAN DO THIS.❤Sending love to you.

[@user-nc1yr4xy5o]

I have just found your channel and so glad I did, this morning especially as have just gone over the 19 stone mark and feel so depressed about it and can so relate to the aches and pains. I lost 4 stone a couple of years ago and have put it all back on plus more. I shall follow you avidly now as feel I have found a kindred spirit x

[@joanprince733]

Supporting you now as I did before. Good luck Carla. Hope your pain eases soon.

[@jojobudgetslife]

Best of luck Carla. Try not to be so hard on yourself, you’re only human.

[@Bulldogandtea]

Husband started keto diet and had amazing weight loss, so I joined him. He's lost 3 stone, I've lost 1 stone, it's really slow for me (over 50, post menopausal) - and the last two weeks, I've put a little back on and I don't know how. Why is it so easy to put on yet so hard so lose? But, since dropping the carbs, I don't get the massive blood sugar highs and lows. Take care xx

[@hazelcowie3368]

No Carb Life you tube channel , only real life stories, amazing turnaround accounts. Worth a look❤

[@kathykearns7342]

Oh Carla don't be so hard on yourself your amazing you have done it once and you will do it again ❤ I like you have battled with my weight my whole life. Here's hoping we both will succeed 😊🙏🤞

[@raymondtwitchett488]

It’s like listening to to myself can’t help myself ,I made a bunch of rock caked today!!! and ate five

[@rosebud-b75]

After watching your vlog I thought what a brave lady you are. You did it before and you can do it again. Good luck lovely lady. Xxx

[@MyColouringBook]

Hi Carla, I'm so sorry to hear you are in pain all the time. The body has a way of telling us off. You have not failed!! You did it before and you can do it again. Team Carla!

[@user-lp3ts3pk3m]

I've put on 3 stone and have just started again as well. Good luck ❤

[@bumblebee4483]

Our lovely Carla - you have so many people wishing you every success - it's inspiring how you never give up - sending hugs, Deb x

[@annmcevoy5686]

Carla... you can do this again. Will your close friends help to support you? The ones you are seen socialising with, the ones that you meet up with to eat out etc. How about Natalie, could she join you in your journey? Its difficult if others are seemingly eating the food you are not. Good luck, I'm sure you will be successful. Lots of support on here for you. X

[@traceykenny2887]

Just keep imagining how you will feel by Christmas if you keep on with doing this. Pain will ease, your mental health will improve and you’ll sense some accomplishment, a great Xmas pressie to yourself, but you already know all of that! Small steps add up, I’m with you on this, i ‘planted’ the first seed yesterday and will keep my Christmas goal as a focus date. Im taking it slow and steady, gradually fading out my devilish foods and introducing swaps. Hopefully now the weathers changing, I’ll get out the house more meaning more movement 🙏🏼

[@lisaomeara4505]

We’re all behind you Carla Good luck x

[@debbiebeesley4486]

Hi Carla. I needed to hear that today, thanks for making me feel not alone. I’m cheering you on, you’ve got this x

[@alisoncooper7345]

Carla, I could have said exactly this. Pre- COVID I had lost almost 2 stone. (From 19.4). Now I have been diagnosed with Atrial Fibrillation and the cardioversions haven't worked. I lost weight in the short window they did. But now up to almost 21 stone. Waiting for an ablation procedure who knows when. I, also, hurt everywhere and any exercise is like walking through treacle, but, like you, continue the daily dog walk for the sake of my gorgeous working cocker, who deserves so much more. Will follow your progress and take both inspiration and comfort from your videos, as I have done for the last years. Thank you x

[@yvonnedowling629]

Hello Carla, So proud of you for being able to go on this vlog and open up about your struggles. God knows we have all felt the way you feel. I support you one hundred percent, and wish you every success. Please don't think that you are a 'failure'. every small bit helps, and you are still lighter than when you started. Good luck for the next week, ❤❤❤

[@MarieClaresWorld]

This is the most relatable video. You haven't failed because you are sat here trying again. I wonder if it also feels worse now because your body knows what it's like to be a few stone lighter and how good you felt? Just a thought! We are all behind you, no matter how long it takes x

[@jacquelinegreen9157]

Hi Carla, I really really wish you well and am willing you on all the way. I love your vlogs whatever their content as your sense of humour and zest for life is so refreshing. So to see you sad and in pain was upsetting. But you’ve done it before and you will do it again. All your subscribers will be behind you and with you on your journey. Take care and this is the start of a new you again. Xx

[@shirleenbragoli8310]

Carla we have all been where you are today we have all had a fail at some point , but to me its not a fail it's just that you are taking the scenic route and you will defiantly get there in the end. You are so brave to owned your little slip up. we re all so different when trying to do a calorie controlled eating plan. I think you are wonderful to actually talk to us about it , I love your sense of humour. you are a wonderful mother and friend. Yes friend I know I do not know you personally but to me you are my friend I look forward to sitting and listening to . Keep up the good work and look forward to next time you upload xxxx

[@traceyhopewell1523]

100% behind you carla lots of love xx❤

[@anneross5347]

Good on you Carla, I think you are brilliant for putting your self “out there “ ❤️

[@jeanthornerry3912]

Thank you so much for posting this , very brave . You have to be commended to openly posting this . I too started at 25 stone I lost 7 St but when my mam died I knew the weight would start going up I was aware of it going on but kept trying and giving up . I now have high blood pressure diabetes. It's painful but looking at your vlog this morning I'm going to try again not going to give up . I'm with you on this journey . It's hard to be this big and hard to loose this but I need to choose my hard. ❤❤

[@duannwebb1340]

I just want to give you a hug. God bless you with determination.

[@juliehale4627]

100% supporting you Keep going one day at a time ❤❤🥰

[@lindabaker6099]

Bless you for your honesty we are all rooting for you❤️👍🏻

[@alisonmckenzie1751]

I think this will be your time Carla, I’ve not seen you so emotional about how you’re feeling with the pain etc. Hopefully that’ll be the motivating factor to stay in the saddle 🤞. Best of luck x

[@dottydisorganised8965]

I feel for you. If I had kept off all the weight I lost on various diets I would be invisible! But i did it eventually. Took me 3 years and it was tough but worth it. Good luck and keep going. You WILL get there

[@HGG30440]

Carla you are so brave for posting this video 👏👏👏👏 You are to be admired for sitting there pouring your heart out to all and sundry with the pain you are feeling both physically and mentally. We all fail at times thats just being human. Nobody is perfect. Take care look after yourself you can achieve what you did before you are a strong lady! Sending you lots of love and support ❤

[@serendipity2064]

Well done for giving it another go. Good luck!

[@clairenew8283]

100% supporting you Carla! Well done for putting it out there. That quote was so true. I'm also bread obsessed, although luckily cakes and desserts don't bother me. Wishing you the best with your journey. I'll be following and cheering you on xx

Thank you so much for sharing such a honest video. I lost weight 9 years ago & now it’s creeping back on. Bread is my weakness. Wishing you all the best x

[@dianereed9364]

It’s all about mindset and it sounds like you’ve got some determination in your voice. I also struggle with staying on track, but try to be mindful of what I’m fueling my body with. I wish you the best!!

[@mandylou7400]

Good luck Carla, so brave in posting this vlog. Alot of us struggle with our weight and fall into all the traps etc. We are with you all the way. WE CAN DO THIS XX❤

[@Bev8068]

Hi Carla, have you asked your Dr about the soup and shake diet? You have not failed, its hard but keep smiling 😊

[@larainedaultrey6137]

Your video really resonates, I have been a yo-yo data all of my life and fat for most of it too. You know you can do this because you have done it before, you have the knowledge and are fully equipped. You are in control. You go girl, do it for you. ❤

[@michelekal8526]

Thank you so much for your honesty and vulnerability. It is not easy putting yourself out there. What you said resonated so much with me. I look forward to your videos and will be working on myself right along with you ❤️

[@jowilliams5768]

Bless you ❤ Sending you best wishes. I understand the struggle is real and menopause makes it harder.

[@juliajones2283]

Carla, this resonated with me so much. I know you did so well and I wished I could of done the same. But I didn’t try and I know the feeling you mentioned. The pain, I can’t stand like I used to when cooking etc and walking, I just need to sit down constantly. I am definitely an emotional eater , i eat for comfort at times. So I understand. I’m scared of surgery. But you are doing something about it which is wonderful and I would love start my journey soon too if I can get into the right emotion. I’m going to use you as my inspiration. Xxxxx

[@tinawhynot8893]

I am wishing you all the luck in the world Carla!

[@debsrobinson2149]

So pleased Calorie Crush is back. It is so so easy to put weight back on, not so easy to take it off. I totally agree with what you said you can either give up or start again. I have re-started my loss journey again this year, have been half heartedly doing it for the last 4 weeks. You haven't failed - you are still trying. Definitely will be an inspiration to me, I hope you succeed.

[@alib8186]

Hi Carla, I really feel for you. I’m in a similar position- I lost 8 stone, then had a hysterectomy almost 4 years ago and now have put 6 stone back on 😢. It’s so frikkin hard - feels impossible- to get back on the waggon! I’ve tried over & over & over again. Like you say tho, we have to keep trying. You are so brave to talk about it all on here x

[@kristinascadden5678]

[@suebuckley3604]

Good look carla it is so hard I am in the same boat lost 31lb before lockdown went all back on and more it so difficult to get back into it looking forward to see how you get on x

[@sroethenbaugh]

Hi Carla, you’re very brave to put this up. It made me feel emotional watching this. My daughter has had weight problems for quite some time so I know the struggles to lose weight are very real & difficult. 4 pounds in the 1st week is fantastic so you should feel very proud of yourself! Very well done. As others had said, we’re completely behind you. Keep at it :)

[@dawn.cheripaul3168]

Best of luck dear one. In same boat lost 20kg have out on 10 again. Ache throb exhausted grumpy. Am trying fast8ng and keto is. Xxx with you in spirit xxx cheri

[@amandaneal1556]

Bless you Carla. I feel the same. Lost a goood amount like you and put most of it back on. My knees have both gone and due to another serious health condition unfortunately this is it. So I am on crutches to walk aroundctge house and a wheelchair outside 😥. I still keep eating and gaining. Ridiculous. Even in my situation I don't do anything to help myself. Keep trying Carla. I will try myself over and over again ❤

[@dan19752008]

I really struggle with depression during the winter months. I live 2 minutes from Blackpool promenade but I can't find the motivation to exercise when it's raining sideways, freezing cold & pitch black before 4pm. I'm 50 next year, which is a big wake up call. Good luck.

[@annbaker3142]

Wishing you all the luck! 🤗🤗🤗🤗 sending hugs! X

[@jaydee2337]

Wishing you every success ❤

[@elainejamieson9303]

Oh Carla you are so brave putting this video up for everyone to see so very sorry that you feel sad 😢. It’s not an easy journey to lose weight I have struggled since I had my children 51 years ago ! ! Like you I have tried almost every diet going 🤦🏼‍♀️. You can do this it won’t be easy but you know you can cause you have done it before . Wishing you all the luck in the world stay strong XX

[@essanjay8604]

Hi Carla - I saw you on Caroline's channel a few weeks ago so am paying a visit. Weight loss is so tough. My other half is a bread and buns fan. He lost around 6 stone after he was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. He's regained about a stone and a half but is managing to keep stable at that weight by doing intermittent fasting (eats breakfast and dinner only but is flexible so if we want to go out for lunch he skips breakfast or dinner that day). It works well because he basically eats whatever he fancies at the two meals so doesn't feel like he's on a diet. The diabetes remains 'reversed' which was his goal. Good luck going forward.

[@annann9926]

Wishing you lots of luck Carla. ❤❤

[@anneowens1073]

Good luck ❤️ it’s so hard x

[@janetford5188]

I am so glad you are doing this again, my body aches, I am a lot older than you, but you were my inspiration before. I wish you the very best of luck. My mood is so down at the moment and I know, like you, it is my weight. please dont knock yourself, you only need small steps xxx

[@janiceflores8922]

I wish you all the best Carla! You can do it! ❤

[@helenbull8101]

Oh bless you ❤ I could tell that was a hard video to put out. You are certainly not alone in your struggle, most of us struggle (and have regrets) in one way or another. Please just remember you are doing this for you and dont let any naysayers derail you, just block and ignore. Well done on your first weeks loss 🎉

[@user-ib1kr4kr9f]

Well done Carla! Good luck with your weight loss journey, I'm struggling myself, so understand how you feel. You're a brave lady to put this on video, I wish you all the best, you go girl! Xx

[@julieharris1830]

Please don’t beat yourself up Carla, IT IS NOT EASY TO LOSE WEIGHT! Yes, only you can do it, but I know where you’re coming from, I lost four and a half stone, a few years ago, I’ve put it all back on during COVID, and can’t get my head around doing it all again, I’m in pain all the time too, so I really feel for you as it makes you so unhappy ☹️ take care you’re one brave lady for sharing 😊

[@Michele-sn6et]

Good to see you back but I feel for you with regard to pain. Have a good week x

[@rachelsworld1]

Oh Carla, you haven't failed my lovely 😢. You are just human and losing weight is bloody hard! I am in a similar boat to you - weight & journey wise, so I do fully understand how you're feeling. But you have done the hardest thing now. Admitting that enough is enough, drawing that famous "line" and deciding to turn things around. Remember - you're still 2 stone lighter than when you started which is fab! You know you can do this, you've done it before. We're all right behind you - you're not alone. You've got this! 😘 xx

[@RKusmie64]

You can do it, Carla. And yes, as you said, you're the one who has to do it. My therapist said that to me early on in my therapy for severe anxiety and it has stuck with me and spurred me on through all I do for my wellness and self-care. You're not alone and I wish you all the best. Sending love and healing energy. Xoxo Robin ❤️🤗
