Unleash the Secret: How I Lost 56lbs & Kept It Off!"

[@jaynekilbride5620]

Nothing tastes as good as slim feels! I’ve lost 40 kg in the last year and am paused at the moment before trying to loose the last 10. It is a lifestyle change and my body is so much better for it now! Well done sticking with it. You look great!

[@TheDressmakersCloset]

Thanks for sharing!!

[@Sooz3112]

Ps, You look beautiful in both the before and after photos and well done in your weight loss journey and in keeping at the weight/size that you’re comfortable with. You know your body better than anyone else but it comes down to how YOU felt…nobody else. You’re an inspiration x

[@MarjNewton26]

This is exactly how I feel right now, joining sw on Monday

[@TheDressmakersCloset]

My only advice is don’t give up … even when you think it’s not working or your losing weight slowly … it took me 51 weeks and I’ve never looked back xxx

[@lisaemery879]

It was great to hear your story. I started my weight loss journey one year ago ( intermittent fasting and low carb) and have lost 40 lbs. It does feel wonderful! I did it more because I just didn’t feel good. My feet hurt, my back hurt, and it was getting hard to do simple things like pick up a dropped pin or get out of a chair easily. I don’t even think about these things anymore, they are gone! You are right, it can be very slow and might go up and down at times, but you just have to keep going. You don’t just feel wonderful when it’s all off, you start to feel better whenever the weight starts to come off!

[@TheDressmakersCloset]

That’s so lovely to read and made me all goosebumps as I could feel how amazing you feel xxxx

[@LisaAdams.75]

I'm doing the one meal a day on keto and it worked! Only started in Dec and I lost 5kg in that month. Gone back up over the xmas break as I knew it would, but back to it now. I'd be laughing if it takes me a year, better than how I feel now and for the last few years so whatever time it takes :)

LISTENING TO YOUR STORY HAS REALLY, I MEAN REALLY HELPED ME TO CONTINUE ON MY WEIGHT LOSS JOURNEY. DETAILS LIKE ”ITS A JOURNEY” AND “KEEP GOING” REALLY INSPIRED ME. IM SO GRATEFUL THAT YOU TOLD YOUR STORY!🥰

[@marjoriepark1198]

Hey Jayne, I have just discovered your channel sadly out of curiosity when I saw and watched your recent sad news about your loving lifetime mate. My heart goes out on that account. My husband of 43 years and I are getting older and it is a reality we contemplate. Fall of 2019 I was diagnosed with stage 4 tonsil cancer. Went through a very rough chemo/radiation regime which included feeding tubes, no swallowing for close to 6 months. Of course lost 60 # . Fortunately have regained my health ( so far😅) I have regained 50 of the 60 lb. Went back to WW @ 3 months back. It’s been a similar process you described. Currently down @91/2 #s. This video was watched because I was surprised to see your title of weight loss as I had noticed what a cute figure you have and was surprised you were heavier at one time. This video is quite timely and encouraging for me. Thank you. I hope you are able to find a way through your grief Jayne. I am happy to find your sewing channel as well. I really relate to the styles you sew in as well as your approach of being a straight forward down to earth person on your channel. Take care from Marjorie in Georgia US🌈🌺🌄

[@SunShine-ip7gl]

Thank you for this inspirational journey. I'm in US at 53 years old, recovering at home from "the C sickness" going around. We eat fairly healthy just tend to snack or overeat what I do have. To feel content in my skin is my goal, always weighed more than other girls being big boned but yes the body knows what healthy is. Mmmwah bless you with health and a double portion of God's love in 2022 Sister.

Thank you xxx

[@marilynsheppard8321]

Oh Jane what a wonderful vlog. I joined SW about the same time as you after I was diagnosed with diabetes. By my sons wedding in June I had lost over 2 stone and was out of the diabetic range. Sadly in January 2020 I sustained an injury in my hip whilst doing yoga. I have been immobile since then, all I can do is hobble round the house. Inevitably the weight has gone back on, I have suffered mentally with my loss of independence, I am the heaviest I have ever been. Next Monday I am having hip replacement surgery, I can’t wait. My weight loss journey will start again when I have recovered from the operation. My daughter is getting married in October and I am determined to feel good and to dance at her wedding. I can honestly say you have given me such motivation. I will save this video to keep going back to. Thank you so much. ❤️

[@TheDressmakersCloset]

Marilyn oh I’m so frustrated for you I can feel it in your words but like you say as soon as you are fit after your op you can get back in the zone and aim towards your daughters wedding …. if you ever need any support let me know I’m always here xxxx

I had a similar weight loss journey.. I went to WW . The 1st week I lost 4 lbs and then after that it was .5 or 1 It took me over 3 years to lose 80 lbs.. I have kept it off now for 13 years.. It really is a personal journey but you have to make the decision to do it.. I wasn't going to stop until I felt the way I wanted to. You really have to learn How to eat. and doing it quickly often doesn't do it. I didn't miss any weeks either.. I was very determined.. I'm so happy you told your journey because people need to hear it takes time. We use lbs in Canada too.

Thanks Jayne for the encouragement and inspiration! I started weight watchers last July and have lost and gained back the same 5lbs, 3 times! But, I'm not giving up and I really appreciate hearing your story and how you have kept it off. I could just accept it as a fact of life, but I don't feel healthy this way and can't move about, not to mention my clothes don't fit and I can't sew fast enough to make new ones. Love your channel and style.

That 5lbs is just a hurdle that you can get over …. my month of august was a nightmare but I got over it and kept on moving onto the next week always dreaming of reaching my target …. if you need a bit of extra motivation give me a shout xxx

[@sewlittletime]

You're such an inspiration Jayne...you look amazing and your determination is so admirable. I've been faffing about now for so long since putting on a stone during the first lockdown and it's just horrible now that it's still sitting on me, slowing me down on my runs and making me feel poo about not being able to fit into a lot of the clothes I've made over the years. I joined back to slimming world before Christmas and lost half a stone but did gain some over Christmas so I'm back to it and determined to lose 2 and a half stone this year to be back where I was before having the twins. I'm doing it with a friend so hopefully that will help. I can tell when watching some.of my older vlogs how much my face has grown more rounder and my hips wider, so it's now time to change. Like you say I'm in that place where I don't like what I see in the mirror and don't feel me right now xxx

A bit more to go but for me it has been all about consistency, keep tracking, have faith and trust the plan, even if you’ve had a bad week or the number on the scales is not your friend! . I am with Weight Watchers. It’s been a lifestyle change rather than a diet. My why has been about being healthy and feeling great in my 60s. I’ve not felt this good in my self for a long time. It’s not been a quick process but a steady one. ❤️❤️❤️ As they say - nothing tastes as good as being slim feels x

I feel the same, I dislike photos being taken of me and I don’t like the way I currently look. Everyone tells me I look fine-but it’s how ‘I’ feel inside. I’ve had a foot injury for the last year, which has stopped me from being as active as II’d like to be. Thank you for the words of encouragement. I hung onto every word that you said in this video because it feels like a very similar situation to myself. I’ve recently started making my own clothes because I dislike clothes shopping, things never feel ‘right’. It’s lovely to make my own clothes in the fabric/pattern that I love. This should help me while I lose a bit of weight and afterwards 🥰 x

Your advice to stick with it and focus on how I want to feel has spurred me on. And, like Kim (sew little time), I so want to fit into my gorgeous “me-mades” from previous years.

I'm your 200th like on this video :) I had asked in an earlier video about your weight loss journey a few weeks ago. Thank you for this update. I am feeling like I am a skinny person currently living in a fat body. Was always a size Australian 8 up until I was 25, then a size 10 'till 30, size 12 'till 35 and I was okay with that weight, you know, I was getting older, id be happier at a 10 but that's only one size down so Im ok, then a size 14 at 40 and now Im a size 16 at 46! Im at 85 kg around your starting point in stones. I am only 5 ft 2 so the weight only makes me look like humpty dumpty. I began feeling like shit at size 14 around the 75kg mark. I always had a healthy diet, BUT have struggled with arthritis for YEARS so less exercise and movement as the years go by, a new partner (more cooking therefore more eating) and approaching menopause. The weight is very stubborn! I am on a keto lifestyle, I lost 5kg in Dec but knew Id be starting over after the new year, xmas food and champagne! Wait... I'll just go weigh myself now as an update... 83.9kg! So Ive added a few but that is ok, as I knew I would over Christmas. I was never getting off this path and I'm already back on my journey and Keto. In December, I think I figured out what works for me. I just wanted to say thank you and that I totally understand the unhappy dreadful feeling when looking in the mirror, I know I am in there somewhere, It's time for me to come out and shine again !

My life is so stressful atm and just couldn’t cope with the added stress so I gave up. I’m at the point where my weight is affecting my ability to breathe properly and now I’m suffering from acid reflux. I really need to get my act together and get back on the journey to good health but I’m struggling to motivate myself.

I get the acid too, but on keto I don't. If I eat pizza, pasta, bread or oats, It is bad, especially at night. Cutting out carbs has helped a lot. I know, I know, but I still get to have steak, chicken and salmon with my favourite veggies or salads. I am fuller for much longer and can even now do one meal a day, only eat when hungry and still enjoy coffee, no sugar but with cream. Also water, and I HATE water lol. I buy sparkling spring water and have about 500ml a day, that's an improvement for me. I lost 5 kilos last month just doing those things.

I tried going back to S/W but it's just not the same since lockdown. This is my first week of trying to do it myself at home making S/W friendly recipes and walking 10,000 steps daily some of them outdoors and some inside. Fingers crossed I can keep to it. Keep up the good work. Happy new year to you and your family xx

Well done! From my own experience, if you lose the weight slowly it tends to stay off.

I was told nothing tastes as good as being thin and healthy feels.. I also read The China study and Undo it and that finally helped me

Congratulations! You look wonderful and your pep talk was so inspiring! 💕👏🏻 Do you still track your food? You say you still eat a pastry here and there, but did you cut back on how often you eat them?

[@TheDressmakersCloset]

Hi yes I only have a treat perhaps once a week and then I’m careful of what I eat in between …. I’m just more aware of my food choices xxx

[@susanlehane6534]

Hi Jayne, are you still following the slimming world plan now you are at your ideal weight ? And do you drink alcohol ? I'm contemplating the plan and possibly being alcohol free 🤔 💕

[@TheDressmakersCloset]

Susan …. I gave up alcohol about 6 years ago it was a bad habit and too many empty calories …. I follow SW recipes and eat more healthily now …. I’m a lifetime member but I don’t go to class anymore BUT I still weigh myself at home every Friday just as if I was going to class it really keeps me motivated xxx

[@Laura55sere]

I lost two stone and kept it off for 5years, then my son died and nothing made sense any more , stopped dyeing my hair and put the weight straight back on .

[@TheDressmakersCloset]

Ah Laura I’m so sorry …. only you will know when you’re ready to lose weight again but when it’s the right time I’m here if you need any support or motivation xxx

Thank you so much 😊

[@lorrainehartman1506]

Congratulations, it's not good to lose weight too fast. I went on a diet for my health. The diet took a long time. I have a good doctor who keeps me on my toes. I think if your blood pressure is good, cholesterol is good and your heart is good then you will feel better.

[@TheDressmakersCloset]

That’s so true Lorraine it’s not a race it’s a slow process but worth doing xxx
