My biggest mistake was falling off the wagon with my diet for two weeks during vacation and thinking that I had lost all of my progress at the time (I was down 55lbs). This led me to fall back into not even working out. If I just would've got back to it after vacation I would've been just fine but I ended up not working out or dieting for over 2 years. Now I'm back to where I started but I have made progress this week by getting back to the gym and slowly improving my diet. KEEP AT IT!!!

It's so rare for people to be hard-working, that when a hard-working person meets another they go "omg! finally someone who is coming in and putting the work with the right attitude. Here is all you need to get where I got, now go do it!" We often have insecurities that those further than us in a certain path will try to harm our progress, but it's the opposite. The path is hard, and most peopel welcome anyone who wants to walk it. Because most peopel are just bravado and shallow behavior and very little REAL desire to change. A dedicated person in any area of life is a gem, and they are easily spotted.

While I do think taking time off is good, taking multiple weeks off at a time isn't good advice in my opinion if you lift heavy. Any time I've gone a few weeks without training and gone back I've lost noticeable progress. You have to ramp back up slowly as well or you'll wreck your muscles for days, meaning you shouldn't lift for even longer and then it's this whole thing that messes up your flow. I'm no professional here and I'm just saying what's worked for me, but I think if you wanna take some time off, limit it to maybe 4 or 5 days.

Something that's been absolutely crucial for me is the intent behind fitness. In the past, every attempt at getting fit was always fueled by a dislike for how my body looked, and I lost motivation every single time. This time around, I started working out with the desire to feel an improvement in my body and to become stronger. It's easier (and healthier) to strive for something you want to add to your life than to run away from something you already have, but dislike. I added healthier and more nutritious foods to my diet. I was encouraged every time I noticed the same workout I did the previous week felt easier. I felt the overall improvement within my body before I started seeing it on the outside. And by approaching fitness through positive additions, I inevitably ended up decreasing the things I didn't like when I started. I lost 45 pounds, I'm at a healthy weight, I put on more muscle than I expected, and most importantly, I now know for a fact that I can do this. When, not if, I ever have a big setback, I know I can get back here with time. The other day I shocked myself when I could do a pull up, something I've never been able to do. My next goal is to do 10 :)

If you’re a stay at home mom like me and workout at home, something that has helped me get my workouts in is to break up each set of my workout during my children’s meal time which is like 3x a day. That’s how I’ve been able to fit it in. Before I would be too scared to even start my workout session out of fear of getting interrupted or taking too long to go through it. So some days I’d skip out on working out all together. Now I’ve been able to consistently get my workouts in because thankfully my children eat their meal each day 3x a day. Hopefully that may help someone else that’s in a similar situation. I’ve still seen results this way.

Biggest thing I'm doing differently this time (starting my fitness endeavor again for the first time since stopping back in 2017) is putting so much more effort into continuing my regular life, and making sure that working out doesn't become my whole personality, and the thing that my life revolved around. It's extremely important to me that I put in the required effort & mindfulness to get back into shape, but much like my career - I want to make sure I'm working out to live, not living to work out. I'd previously let so many other passions and hobbies completely dissipate because I couldn't handle not focusing on exercise (hyperfixation is a personal problem of mine), and this time around, I've got a much better handle on what it is I'd like to prioritize while still giving the respect to my fitness endeavors that those deserve.

I'm still not quite balancing everything as well as I'd like to, but I can see improvement, and I know that's something to be proud of for me. I'm just now starting the ATG Knee Ability Zero program after a medical condition that made me unable to bend my knee for a month, and I've gotten up to week 3 so far, and then was traveling for a month for work, and that made it too easy to start missing days. I'm technically restarting it again for the 4th time now, but the way I see it is that I should be focusing on the fact that I'm getting another day of exercise in rather than focusing and beating myself up over the technicality of restarting something I'd fallen off-track with, and that's my current priority when it comes to my mindset about it now. Since you've experienced the same type of thing, I'm curious what your experience has been when it comes to trying to have accountability partners or even gym/workout buddies? I feel like that's never really worked for me, but also I'm kind of at the point where I think I'd be willing to give it a shot again sometime soon just to see if it helps 🤔 What's your experience been like with that, if you don't mind me asking?

In November 2021 I was the heaviest I'd ever been in my life, I was 398 lbs. I've struggled with my weight since I was a kid, and I definitely have a past of ED's. I'm now at 288 lbs (last I weighed in, which was last week). The first like 50 lbs I lost last year was mostly because I was so depressed that I barely ate (on 2/2/22 I left my abusive relationship & had to start my whole life over so). Once I noticed myself losing weight, and I got onto a WAYYY better psych med regimen - I decided to start actively losing weight by choice. For me, because I was still really depressed, what that looked like was just changing a few different ways of how I was eating. And it was gradually, because I needed it to be! At first I started eating smaller portions, but made sure I was AT LEAST eating 2 solid meals and 2 snacks a day. That was what I could manage. Then I started trying to switch out the fats and carbs in my diet. Instead of butter and olive oil, I started using very minimal avocado oil. Instead of plain white rice or potatoes, I would try to go for more complex carbs like brown rice and sweet potatoes. And if I had more simple carbs, I just made sure to have a little less of it and to dress it up with a variety of veggies and protein! There were a lot of things that I started switching out, but those are just some good examples. Then when I started plateauing, I started eating exclusively pescatarian/plant based! OH BOY did that make a difference! I learned just how much my body loves and prefers seafood or plant based protein. In the last couple of months I started eating more meat again because I had to start eating whatever was in the house, as I've been struggling financially and can't afford my own groceries at the moment. But I'm working on getting back there! The last couple of weeks I've been doing research into different types of workouts that I can do from home with the equipment I currently have (a bosu ball, yoga mat and some resistance bands). I want to get back to weightlifting like I did in high school! But I definitely need to take baby steps, as the only changes I've made so far have been nutritional ones. I'm really proud of the choices I've made with my health, especially considering everything I've been going through. Your advice in this video is very helpful, and I'm definitely saving it to a playlist to look back on later! You're always really cool, keep doing you 🥹🫶🏼

Hey Patty, I started my journey after a neck surgery and my w hole life was turned around, I fully immersed myself into getting fit and losing weight, I was able to lose 45 lbs and I got to the best shape of my life but in the process I did exactly what you have described in this video. Food became my enemy and I became scared of it, I was scared of gaining my weight back and I developed a horrible eating disorder that controlled my life for almost 2 years. I just found your channel not even a month ago and the stuff you have said about your own struggles with food and your journey in general has almost single handedly neutralized my ED. I hope you see this becasuse I just wanted to say thanks and I know that you are helping other people out there overcome this horrible affliction thanks patty

As a beginner, this made me realize I'm super lucky a trainer that helps you get a schedule from day one is part of my membership. She went with me through everything I wanted to achieve, made a personal training schedule, and went with me through every exercise, making sure I was doing it right, and knew where I needed to feel it. Also adjusted it at the end when I told her I wanted to get back into martial arts again, and added a lot of stretching. I don't really need it, but she also studied food and diet (no clue what the study is called), so she helps a lot of people with finding the right diet too. Anyway, as a beginner, I'd recommend a trainer, even if it's for one time, to know what exercises will get you where and to make sure you're doing it right. I honestly really like my gym, it's very small and low key, but everyone is super kind and I really like a lot of the exercises (I never got into strength building, and I love it).

Advice that I find myself giving pretty much anyone I know who is on a fitness journey is “improvement comes in many ways, don’t overlook progress in one area because you are focusing on a specific thing” A lot of new lifters, after the newbie gains taper off, get discouraged when a particular lift goes down for a couple weeks, and ignore that they are still progressing in other lifts, or even accessory movements. Look at the whole picture!

Personally relate to what she said about how you could not beat a bad diet with a workout. Was going to the gym for a couple of months and didn't care about what I was eating. During a gym session, I noticed that a sort of mobile clinic set itself up in the gym, it was a sort of promo and you could get bloodworks done. My results showed that my cholesterol levels were elevated. This shocked me because I was really thin, like just above 50 kg and my height was I think 5'6 at that time. I refused to believe the test result so I had my cholesterol levels checked in a lab. the results were the same. I was both shocked and disappointed. From then on I started watching my diet. Its still hard to watch it. There are times when I get so stressed that I just don't care anymore and eat whatever I want. But, like Patty said, its a journey. And every journey has bumps in the road. We trip, we fall, and we get up and continue on.

My biggest mistake, the one that held me back for years (and I mean years, like a decade) was not pushing hard enough. Therefore I would never grow no matter what, and that caused me frustration, hit my self-confidence pretty bad in a way I have still yet to recover from, etc. Then one day, by pure chance, I did a massive workout that pushed me way beyond my limits, got scared as f I would die... but I didn’t die. From then on, I have been making massive gains, like I am not super muscular, but my strength has improved so much, and I can see that by me being now able to lift and carry stuff I could not even move before. So, my advice is “you ain’t made of sugar”.

Note to all beginners: getting fit takes so much time but it will happen. Never underestimate or even overestimate yourself. Your rest day is important more than training trust me the last thing you want is an injury. Also I remember watching another Patty vid and she said never ignore your cravings just don't make it a habit. So to all beginners take your time, rest, challenge yourself a little if you're up for it as long it never exceeds the weight example lifting 20 and want to move up to 50 no no no you don't do that. You do 20 then 25 then 30 and so on but take it slow. Also if you're hurt please recover the last thing you want is a broken body. For me I like to do leg day, chest day with arms and back day 3 days a week(I re-read this and I thought it might confuse people so the example is Monday back Thursday legs and Saturday chest). If you think that's not enough everyone's built differently so leave it. So in short rest, train but never go over your limit, never ignore your cravings and be patient but be proud of all your progress because I am so proud of what I did within 9 months I'm 170 lbs roughly in the 170-174 range for a 28 year old 6 foot guy. I cant wait til I come back but I gotta wait for the ok from the doc that I can do everything I want.

Good point. I remember Red Delta Project having some good videos on that. It's not just that consistency and doing something at all is better than nothing - obviously. It is also that not going all out is actually the more effective approach. Crushing it each time actually leads to an unnecessarily long recovery period and reduced performance next time.

I guess I just wanted to add for those of us who have physical disabilities or diseases that keep us from working out to our full potential. Our disease/disability does not define us and its not an excuse so be kind to yourself and do what you can when working out. You can do it just remember your way of working out might be defined differently than other people and that's okay. I was diagnosed with hashimoto's disease last year and it's been a roller-coaster trying to figure everything when also having chronic fatigue im making progress it definitely will take time ❤

The "change one thing at a time" advice is really good to hear! I am severly overweight and always struggled with weightloss. A few weeks ago I started working out again and like always this triggered my perfectionism. I didn't just want to work out, I wanted to cut more and more calories, eat clean, etc. And that's when I realized: THIS is my biggest mistake! I always want 200% and it's just too much so what I really get in the end is 0%. So I decided to do exactly what you said: I'm only focusing on working out for now. That's the part that I like and that comes easy to me but it's not always easy to get the motivation so I'll make it a habit first and then start slowly changing up my diet, eating more veggies, portion control, etc. One new habit at a time. It sometimes feels weird to actively NOT make the better food decisions but I really think that it will help me making future choices to be better, not to fuel my perfectionism because I will make these choices in a controlled and calm way and not out of guilt or self-hatred. And I really want to learn to seperate healthy habits from weight loss so it will become easier to pick up these habits even if I'm at a point where my weight loss frustrates me. I really hope that this method will work.

The first two points are the big reasons why I got a trainer. He gives me some workouts to do on my own and when we meet up he explains the how’s and whys so I’m not just doing whatever. The challenge is meeting those weekly goals. Slowly but surely. I’ve successfully gone to the gym at least once a week for about two months now which is a huge improvement from last year. Next up is diet and creating a healthy yet structured relationship with food. P.S. Sleep. I need to work on it P.P.S. I hate when my form is bad on a rep and I look like an idiot.

You're 100% spot on with the "no perfect" solution. Humans are weird and what works great for one will not work for anyone else. Your ability to recover, your body's insulin response, how much glycogen your muscles can store and how quickly it can replenish, your baseline calorie needs etc. The length of your bones, where the tendons insert, long/short legs and torso all impact what exercises may work for you or ones you should avoid or ones you need to modify to work. Plus your fitness goal changes what you need to do. Taking notes and tracking and, probably most important, giving each program a chance - to see what your body responds to. Even small changes like the amount of rest between sets could really impact how you respond. And I'll join the club of "you can't outwork a bad diet"

Honestly all this is such great advice. I know when I first started I fell into so many of the same old, same old traps including some of those you mentioned. The one I would really emphasize though from my journey is rest. Especially through my last 2 years with college being so intense having little to no sleep with about 5-7 hours of sleep, or 3hour sleep sessions spread along a day, it destroyed so many aspect of my life. That said in the past 2 months while I've been out of school, being able to really allocate more time to sleeping for long periods between not only work out days, but just regular days along the week. It really does make the difference in your performance, mental health, and physical well being, in this case as it pertains to exercise, but also other outside aspects

Hearing you talk about working out so frequently and still being relatively small got to me--it reminded me of my first years in fitness. Now, I'm doing better because I'm not so hard on myself. I actually enjoy and love what I do now.

If you're new to the gym, don't worry about the diet, just going to the gym, start lifting weights and you will see a little progress in like first month or maybe in a couple weeks, and what happens when you start to see the result, your brain starts to rewire and think "damn i'm actually getting result now" your brain is going to start to crave for MORE RESULT, and that's how it is, so you're gonna look and say "damn how can i get more results" and you're gonna look into more research, you're gonna look on the internet and start thinking "okay i need to start getting my diet right now, i need to start getting more sleep, i need to start getting my protein intake, getting a program, etc" anddd from there you're more motivated than ever to workout and start to dicipline yourself and getting more result and that's where the cylce starts, that's where it all happens. So the best thing to do is "JUST START" Everyday is the new begining, we need to do a mistakes so that we can learn from that and this fitness journey should be a lifestyle that we will contantly teaching ourselves for the rest of our life.

After I recovered I just went back to my old ways so now it’s round 2 and I am still eating the same but just cleaning it up, so instead of fast food I’ll make a homemade meal. Instead of just a plate of pasta I’ll have an egg and some veg with it. It’s working so much better and I don’t feel guilty or like I need to make up for it because I know a small change is still a change and this is a process that might take years.

I got a female friend who got Patty's 4 year progression in 2 years by just heading to the gym, without changing diet much, just eating a bit healthier. Idk her routine, but she's one of my biggest inspirations to start losing my obese BMI. Lots of diets and fastings I went into, I just couldn't maintain the discipline. Even my younger cousins have physiques almost the same as Patty but I always tell myself there are other ways to get there without the hassle of cardio or weights that exert too much effort. Took me until the end of my college years to figure out gym workouts is the way to go

i was at my restrict/binge phase this year. I could have made so much progress had i just focussed more on getting stronger and building muscle (i was so obsessed with getting skinny, consuming more than 1500 calories FREAKED me out) Thank you so much for this. Much needed

Thank you for this vid. I'm beginning my strength training and I learned all of this as I went. You just packaged it into a nice video and put a bow on top.

Great video! I appreciate hearing this advice. I’m finally trying to commit to being more active as a lifestyle change rather than a random thing I get into for a few weeks. I’m about 2 months in to a lifting routine and it’s the most consistent I’ve been. The thing that has helped me the most is knowing that I don’t have to do some crazy hard or super long work out for it to count. In the past, if I only had time for a 15-30 min workout, I’d feel like it wasn’t enough. So then I wouldn’t work out at all LOL. Moving your body is a good thing whether it’s 10 minutes or 60+! It doesn’t have to take a huge chunk of your day and be so hard. I’m loving 4, 30 min workouts weekly. I still have days I’m unmotivated, but it’s been easy to stick to and I’m enjoying the journey.

What really helped me, was shiftig away from the goals of being skinny and lift weights towards "I want to be healthy!". I started homeworkouts in January this year, got a gym membership in May and I can finally see results (after 2 failed attempts with the before mentioned "goals"). I am happy that I can see progress and I can see that I am getting healthier. Bonus: I can nearly do a pull up now, which I could never do in all my life. And having role models like you ist really helping me along the way :)

Same for me on the second one. Almost every workout for like 6 to 8 months I was just doing the reps with the weights I had at home without going near failure. We all got to start somewhere I guess

I really enjoy your videos. You're so down to earth and your advice is appreciated. I'm in my mid 60s now and had to give up training about 15 years ago due to injury and arthritis. I'm feeling better now because of supplements and a tens machine and will begin training again, but only to tone and firm. Thanks for the inspiration.🎉

Your story reminds me of mine almost exactly. Worked out like a crazy person killing myself almost every day of the week to “slim” down. I then developed an eating disorder. Ended up beating it. After two years bulked and got strong. Took a break from fitness last year, now am getting back into it, what was my five year journey. Now on year six:) The only thing I would say for beginners is don’t quit. Don’t take year long breaks. You’ll lose you progress and be sad

One thing that's been working for me is having a muscle week and a cardio week, so in muscle week I do this: Monday: 100 pull ups with variations, 300 abs with dumbbell and also ab roller, Tuesday: repeat ab routine and let your arms rest, Wednesday: 150-180 push ups with variations, repeat ab routine, Thursday: leg day, do at least 150 squats, with weight if you can, still repeat ab routine, Friday: Weights day, go all out with the bar and the dumbbells, get creative, still do the 300 abs, rest both weekends, also remember to stretch at least 10 mins after every workout, next week is focused on cardio, do your favorite cardio activity but you should be burning at least 500 calories per day, don't worry too much about eating, just don't eat crap, you can still eat crap once a week, but still in moderation, it may or may not work out for you, but I've been working out with this routine for one month now, I have a 4 pack on the way to an 8 pack, shredded back already, defined legs and arms and a bit bigger than they previously were, vascularity already and thicker tendons, this is because I do finger push ups, also if you can, and this is very easy, do neck movements every day, also chewing exercises, if you want to develop a jawline.

Your number 4 killed me 😂 Im right there with you. I always say powerlifting saved my life because it took me out of the ED hole. I can't get stronger if I don't eat lol

I think consistency is key so my mistake was doing workouts that were way too much and not enjoyable what lead to a lot of them being skipped. Even a minimalistic approach can work at times so keep focusing on having fun and moving consistently even short workouts followed by a walk and some stretching will make a huge difference when performed regularly.
