week in my life in the CITY | health journey begins! new year new me vlog

[@brookemiccio]

I am so thankful for all of your positive comments on this video! It can be really hard to talk about these topics sometimes and I definitely overthink it, but your support means the world. Ily guys happy weekend

[@JenLauren]

being vulnerable online with this many people is really hard so thank you for creating a relatable space for people experiencing the same insecurities and goals 🤍🤍🤍

[@emilyhelton5809]

Feliciafitnesshealth on Instagram and KZbin shows great recipes that are WW point friendly!

[@danielm5441]

hey To Brooke Miccio MY N IS DAN AND I HAVE A Q FOR YOU MY Q IS YOU HAVE A BOY F YES OR A NO AND I AM 24 Y OLD . ?

[@caitlinsoule9784]

just remember that your never alone, someone else out there is almost always going to be thinking or feeling the same way as you! So talking about it may be good for you, as well as for someone else! Keep your head up ❤️

[@adrianaluciani_]

I’m actually on a weight gain journey over on my channel from under eating for so long ❤️ supporting your journey!

[@brooke__core]

would be cool to see what you eat in a week on WW

[@christinabdzy]

pleaseeeeee i just started first time ever! would love to see this!

[@imanim2214]

I feel like a lot of people mistake thin/lean= healthy. But healthy is not a body shape, thanks for your positive outlook!

[@TCRansLo]

I just turned 32 on Jan 5th, I watch a lot of younger vloggers/youtubers because it reminds me a lot of my 20s. You, ma’am, are one of the most if not the most level headed one that I watch. Your sense of awareness is amazing. Kudos to your parents for raising such an amazing daughter.

[@brookemiccio]

This is such a kind comment!!!!! I will share with my parents - thank you!!

[@lizziedoeslife]

A gentle reminder, your 20's aren't the only great time in your life, truly they're over hyped lol I'm about to be 31 and I can say 30 when it comes to not giving a f* and truly being myself has been transformative. I'd taking being 30 in covid, then sometime in my 20s. Also we're in the middle of a pandemic, and I know the stress and pressure of being slimmer as a woman is everywhere. We have never had to live through this before, and a political hot mess, be gentle with yourself. You are beautiful, amazing, brilliant, and if all you did was get up and feed yourself that's okay. We are living thru beyond stressful time. Remember to give yourself permission to just be, and know you are deserving of feeling enough, you are enough just as you are.

[@jessr771]

Agree!! I'm 34 and honestly my 30s are the best time of my life this far. I know myself way better and do things that make me happy. I'm also the healthiest mentally and physically then I was most of my 20s.

[@Jennacatherine87]

agreed! My 20's were difficult. I'm about to be 34, I was in a 13 year relationship, ended it in 2020. about 28ish you'll feel yourself literally changing. Your wants become way different. My early 30's are the best time of my life so far.

[@crystallyn1539]

Love this! I'm 33, and I honestly feel I look my best currently! lol ---Brooke, you're beautiful!

[@tangierlemon7775]

Well said ladies! I’m 34 and life is pretty lit.

[@mimicraig6989]

The ending though!!!! Acknowledging your privilege without justification, just a clean cut “we all need to process this moment” is what we all needed to hear. Love you so much Brooke 🤍🤍🤍

[@PaigeLundberg]

27 here and I feel like I look wayyy better than my early twenties cause I figured out what looks best on me, what my style is and who I am instead of just following trends! The best days are yet to come for you girl :)

[@Alina-dz4ym]

Please do not be too hard on yourself Brooke, this is a Pandemic and there are more important things than working out alot and looking your best. It is relatable that you want to take care of yourself and feel good, but please remember that alot changes when we can life our normal lives again :)

[@JuliaBella]

brooke has EASILY become one of my fav youtubers

[@taylorbotelho2628]

Brooke is literally the most relatable vlogger on KZbin...LIVING for your content lately!

[@AbigailMarie]

Side note: in the clips of you with clear blue light glasses and hair in a low bun you look soooo pretty

[@JenLauren]

always🤍

[@brookemiccio]

Aw omg this is so sweet

[@fencinqueen]

Hey Brooke, please remember that sometimes “taking care of your body” means resting (more than you need). You are radiating and so inspirational. Love you❤️

[@ChapmanCS3]

The ending of this video is so reasonable and classy. Good job.

[@gracetierney6294]

thank you so much for speaking up about January 6th events! love you brooke! the best ever :)

[@megansofia6859]

i love you!!! period!!! when she recognizes & addresses national news that are important!!! PERIOD!!!

[@Shawna805]

I am 45 (25 at heart ❤️) and you make me miss my 20s so much! I stumbled on your videos a year ago and have loved watching you evolve. You are such a gem, be good to yourself! ❣️❤️

[@jamidunn9406]

I’ve been doing WW for almost 3 years and at times felt like I couldn’t share with people my age so it makes me so happy to see you be so open about it! Thank you Brooke!

[@ninacrawford5420]

you are hands down my favorite youtuber because I just love how honest you are with your audience! your genuineness just translates so well on camera. i so appreciate you acknowledging what's going on in the world right now and not pretending as though the current situation is "normal," because it definitely isn't. so much love to you brooke!

[@ellieschnur5718]

brooke i love you.... you NEED to know that as a 23 year old grown woman, you body is NOT supposed to look how it did in highschool. you should not hold yourself to that standard.

[@maalavikaganesh]

I just want to say how much I appreciate your transparency and openness when talking about weight gain. I love how you don't push anything on your followers and you make it VERY clear that you're doing what is best for you and you live a balanced life. Personally, I think that is a really healthy way to look at it and I love that you're being so conscious of how you're explaining things in regards to body image especially with someone who has such an impressionable audience. Love you Brooke, you're so well spoken and I always look forward to your videos!!

[@thecurlybond]

you are absolutely, hands-down my fave! thank you for speaking on the capitol events! even just acknowledging makes me feel seen, heard and important. it’s so critical that more people show solidarity and you have done that for me. thank you brooke!

[@caitlinsoule9784]

just remember brooke, its not how you look, its how you feel!! how you feel about your body and health is what is most important. Just remember that it takes time to feel your best, dont rush yourself and dont beat yourself down for taking a day off as well. You got this girl❤️ I’m hoping to get in a more healthy routine as well so we’ll be on this journey together. We got this!

[@focusdopis]

So much respect for how you ended the vlog. Thanks brooke

[@madisonbeal2823]

I LOVE WEIGHT WATCHERS!!! Ive been doing it for 8 months after feeling the same way you expressed and my mom suggested it to me. my lifestyle has completely changed and i feel great!! i am down 23 pounds and i am SO happy!! i hope you find the same success and I'm so excited for you!! thank you for this content, it is pushing people forward and your honesty is very appreciated!!!

[@hanashaheen9928]

I'm so happy you're doing what makes YOU happy which is wanting to make a change in your lifestyle, fitness related or not. You're finding what works best for you and that's all that matters. Your physical and mental health are so important and the fact that you're prioritizing yourself is amazing. 2021 is your year, sister. All the love!

[@hannahlogalbo2188]

I've never commented after watching for 3 years!! But I wanted to say i really appreciate how open you are in general but especially with this. I've had to delete SM for mental health reasons (comparing myself) and your videos NEVER leave me feeling worse about myself - which I can't say about most other 'influencers.' Instead I feel inspired and am able to relate. Keep it up!!

[@nicoleberge814]

Also I have soooo much respect for you ending the vlog in order to bring attention to/reflect on what happened in DC because it absolutely is disgust and horrifying

[@laurenhodne3828]

the part about not feeling like dressing cute/trendy like my friends when you don’t feel the best was so relatable and good to hear someone else feels this way. really enjoyed this vlog!

[@marinahernandez4609]

brooke, please continue to speak your truth!! i gained a ~whole lot~ of weight in 2020 and i miss wearing outfits and feeling cute. thank you for sharing your feelings, it helps people feel less alone!

[@mdaily9]

I love how honest you are because everything you say is so relatable!!

[@musicbyshauna]

I used to have this sort of thought too. That I was “wasting” my youth not being at a lower weight. But in reality, I was wasting it by not embracing my body exactly the way it was! I’m 25 now, and much happier and more confident than I was at my lowest weight when I was 18. Absolutely nothing wrong with wanting to lose weight to feel your healthiest, but you have every right to be confident in the body you’re CURRENTLY in too ❤️

[@eloram1752]

Brooke I am loving content like this! Please make more, it’s so motivating and nice to feel like I’m on my health journey with someone else!! My friends and family aren’t really into health and fitness so it’s nice to hear a normal person talking about it!

[@sarahmines4990]

Brooke I think you’d really enjoy the book Intuitive Eating! It’s an anti-diet approach to eating that encourages you to listen more to your body than external diet rules

[@theleilaniarias]

i love how open and honest you were in this vlog about your weight 🤍 its so important for everyone to realize that your weight can fluctuate a lot at different points of your life. i am also trying to eat healthier so i can feel good! love your videos so much brooke!! 🥰

[@alexisabbott3307]

I would love to see your health journey/WW/fitness/progress. I feel like you have a different outlook than other youtubers and it’s more realistic and healthy! I love it. Super motivated after this vid :)

[@safiya3965]

“a dozen roses...bc I love myself” ❤️ love this energy!!

[@annewalsh0]

Totally love seeing the food! Right there with you all about changing the mindset around why its important to you its not about looking this way or that way its about feeling good in your body and feeling good in a body is different for everyone!

[@jencgross23]

you are hands down my favorite influence and I am so grateful for every single thing you did or said in this video. I am never ready for your videos to end and I could watch them every single day. Thank you for being so genuine and open with us ❤️

[@ShannonCiricillo]

completely identify with how you're feeling about getting dressed and how it's hard to want to be "stylish" when you don't feel your best. I worked on this a lot in 2020 and feel like I'm finally getting to a place where i just get dressed and tell myself that I feel and look good ( it does help!). Also, not sure about your schedule, but working out in the AM before I do anything has really helped my own fitness journey / physical well being / overall mood - thanks for being so open and sharing what you're going through :)

[@alliewilliams9997]

Brooke thank you so much for being honest about your health journey and how you feel going about it! I know it can be a daunting thing to talk about online because everyone has an opinion, but I just appreciate seeing someone about my age going through the same sh*t

[@PursuitOfWellnessPodcast]

Girl love seeing you sip on that Bloom pre-workout!!! 💕 Killing it

[@francesackerman9397]

I appreciate your thoughtfulness in the conclusion of the video. Thanks for acknowledging the gravity of the situation and encouraging time to process instead of continuing with "programing as usual". ~ sending good vibes, positivity, and encouragement in your lifestyle transition!

[@quirky813]

You are so real and honest, I love watching you grow and mature (I’m a 54 year old mother of 2). Stay true to yourself and you will be just fine.

[@Erica-vy7ol]

Brooke, give yourself some grace! I just turned 26 and I can tell you that my body is at its the healthiest and most toned (though being toned does not equal healthiest!! but both happen to be true for me) now, I feel so much more confident in my skin than I did at 23... and I am less obsessed with what food I eat and how often I work out and calories, etc. The fat that I also gained freshman year of college and couldn't get off came off without being as obsessive as I used to be. Don't put so much pressure on yourself, you are still so young! As am I! (which I also need to remind myself). We have loads of time and tons of life to live still :)

[@lindasangiovanni29]

I was overweight my entire life, on every diet there is and nothing ever worked for me so I made the decision to have Bariatric surgery ( gastric sleeve) in 2016. I have lost over 190 pounds and it has been the best decision I have ever made and no regrets. Each person has to figure out what is right for them as far as being healthy so you do what works for you. I for one will be here cheering for you. Wishing you so much success Brooke.😊

[@madison9448]

Been feeling the same way about my health! Not even just to look better, but to feel better. I was diagnosed with a rare blood disorder last year, and the best treatment for it is honestly just taking good care of my body (I hadn't been doing a great job of that in college). Thank you for your transparency & we are cheering you on as you reach your goals!!

[@marcelarivera9200]

hi Brooke this health journey is exciting! but also be kind to urself and remember were literally living through so many stressful moments and our bodies do hold on to a lot of that and we're at home way more often!

[@brenm4186]

I’m studying to become a personal trainer and have gone through different ways of eating, and have come to the conclusion this past year that intuitive eating and living an active lifestyle is the best way to do things! I definitely think that different tracking systems ie calories, macros, are helpful for getting an idea of what your body needs, but I would not recommend that long term. I am so excited for you and your lifestyle goals! Just please please do not undereat! Listen to your body! Love you, you got this Brooke!

[@megangilman2464]

your content is getting more and more relatable and i am LIVING for it....the most unproblematic queen. keep being amazing ily brooke

[@veronica3874]

Relate to you so hard. Thank you for sharing and being so vulnerable with us. Love you Brooke 💛💛💛

[@emilyp7860]

It’s WW now! Formerly weight watchers. I am on it and love it so much. Even when I’m not feeling like tracking, I have learned healthier choices that I chose on my own. I love it so much. Good for you ❤️

[@megandoyle7234]

I can assure you that you’re your worst critic!! To us you look amazing and I hope through this program you can see yourself in the same light. Self confidence is a life long journey for everyone. Sending love!

[@barbidolls]

GIRL. YOU DO YOU AND WHAT YOU THINK WORKS THE BEST. ALSO, THE WAY YOU ENDED THIS VLOG. MASSIVE RESPECT 👍🏻

[@marissadenigris9843]

I just started WW last week! I’m on the purple plan but I am loving it so far, can’t wait to hear how it’s working for you! Glad to know other people in our age range do this as well :) good luck!!

[@pologirl2015]

I’m about to be 24 and on the WW green plan and I’ve been loving it! I used WW in 2018 and was super successful but I got back on track at the beginning of this year too! So so many recipes to help create a healthier lifestyle that keep you full. I FEEL YOU when it comes to not feeling your best and that’s why I’m back on! You got this!!

[@alycatmakeup]

I love how informed you are and how you use your platform to inform others! Im so sick of influencers saying "my platform is an escape from reality and i dont post about politics or things going on in the world". It just reeks of privilege when they do that and I truly appreciate how woke you are. You are such a positive light and I think all influencers should look up to you and follow in your footsteps!!

[@samanthakennedy5126]

I think one mindset that helps me with food is to let food satisfy me! I eat the things I crave, balance them with more nutrient dense foods, and that helps with consistency! Cooking with flavor also helps bc then we are more satisfied. You are beautiful, no matter what. Good luck!

[@morganwebb3091]

You are one of the most honest and relatable influencers on this platform and I'm so happy I follow you!

[@toriobryan9289]

YES to everything you opened up about. I’m 24 and feel the same way. Sending you positive vibes for 2021

[@abigailcox9271]

you are the realest KZbinr out there now and I am so proud of how you have handled events of 2020/2021.

[@danielle7042]

Brooke - fist, thank you for being so real and honest in your videos. I’m sure there are so many that can relate to what you are talking about in this video. I am about to be 30 and I’m in the best place and shape of my life right now but if you asked me at your age I thought my life would be over by now and I’d be an old fart. I know it’s difficult but don’t fear the future in terms of age and comparisons, I have been told by so many people their 30s are the best time of their lives. You are so much farther than I was at 23 you are doing great! Enjoy life where you are now. It is great to inspire to be healthier and move your body more but don’t take it to an extreme you are beautiful just how you are. Keep killing it girl and stay positive!! 💕

[@audreycolabrese2831]

You got this Brooke!! I started my health journey in 2018 and wow I’m SO glad I did!!! You got this!!💪💪

[@chelseakardokus8729]

BROOOKE, I turn 32 this year and I have literally never looked or felt better than I do right now. I’ve experienced so much growth in my thirties and with that came sooo much perspective + confidence.

[@meleamansel9668]

Can't express how much I appreciate you condemning the events at the capitol... not judging others but for something so horrid to happen and people are afraid to lose followers to say that terrorism is bad is alarming personally. I am happy to support someone like you! Also, love the rest of the vlog ofc!

[@isabelle9004]

I can relate so much to the part about not feeling the "cutest" or not being the most confident in certain outfits, it happens to me whenever I've gained a few pounds or when I haven't been eating the healthiest. Honestly, thank you Brooke for sharing because you are definitely not the only one with these thoughts and it's nice to see someone on KZbin who's willing to share their real thoughts and being open and vulnerable with their audience! Thank you so much for that

[@SuuperSoof]

I love love your honesty !! Keep doing you girl xxx

[@lizmalm7590]

Thanks for not ignoring current events. I really appreciate it! 💙

[@madisonlutz1560]

I'm proud of you for how open you are about your health journey. I know it's not easy at all but doing it for you and you alone will be worth it! I wish you (and Adina of course) nothing but the best with your lifestyle shift and continue to give yourself grace throughout the process. Sending you all my love and good vibes from Virginia :)

[@SuperGiggles098]

i loved your honesty in this video i feel like a lot of girls our age feel this way and it’s great to see someone else voicing it online

[@syniahall806]

brooke always remember that no matter what the scale says you still look how you look. its just a number and someone can be "overweight" and be completely healthy!!! its all subjective and so its better to go based on how you look/feel than what the scale says.

[@ceceeeee888]

So excited to see this journey! Sometimes TW // food .... But most times when I find myself overeating to the point I feel sick is when I put off the feeling of being hungry and wait to eat everything at one time instead of having a snack and then dinner! Hope that helps and made sense! adding in a snack between meals has really helped with energy levels and it’s a great time to get in extra fruits or veggies. ❤️

[@MariaSilva-qk3bw]

Wow Brooke very proud of your mindset change! I always say if your not happy about something in your life change it, you have that power. Keep up the motivation

[@isoralithgow8489]

I just started WW and I’ve been really liking the concept of like getting zero point foods that are healthier and full of good nutrients and it’s motivated me to eat more of those. But also not over or under eat! Looking forward to seeing your journey!

[@dayana_sabatin]

You are such a breath of fresh air! Loving your content, don't worry your body will bounce back.

[@maddieeweest]

I am so here for the glow up! You are an incredible person and deserve to feel your best!!

[@xoxcalxox]

I started weight watchers with my mom a couple years ago as well, and lost 30 pounds!!! I also feel off of that and gained some of the weight back, but am starting fresh this year!! It truly is more of a lifestyle change than a diet, and you have so much freedom to eat what you wish! More than anything you notice a change in how you feel when eating good food for your body! I'm so glad you opened up about this, it's inspiring to see someone I look up to making a similar journey to me! :)

[@megancarbone3704]

Thank you so much for speaking about everything that happened at the capitol. It is so important to address it and realize our privilege. LOVE YOU BROOKE

[@jessr771]

I lost 55lbs on WW which was great but honestly it was the new mindset I had with food that assisted me more then anything and learning what a real serving size was. I now make healthier choices and feel amazing even though I'm not at my goal weight I have never been happier. Good luck on your journey!

[@alexandrarojas9401]

Hey Brooke! Just wanted to say I love your videos and remember to be kind to yourself! Your body is getting you through a pandemic. Ease into it

[@jolibaby1]

You look even more stunning in this video than usual! Brooke, you’re amazing and positive; so don’t stress! You’re beautiful

[@amandaradich5245]

I promise it gets easier!! Make it through each day and don’t don’t restrict anything. small treats here and there is better than going into a binge!

[@amandaparsons7941]

Thank you for opening up! I totally relate and love your approach to health and fitness

[@kaylatcompton]

It's totally normally to want to look and feel your best! The new year is definitely the best time to get back on the health and fitness grind!

[@Priscilaac3]

You are absolutely gorgeous and I’m proud of you for this new journey!

[@genibrant9464]

brooke you are literally the best.... absolutely need this realness in my life. would love to see your meals too! happy new year!!

[@eliseleonard2461]

Love how real you are! I just wanted to pop on and tell you, I’m a personal trainer, and just let you know that you don’t have to justify why you want to lose weight. I know it’s easier said than done, but it’s okay to want to lose weight or to want to be at a certain body fat %. As long as you are doing it in a healthy manner, that’s awesome! I feel like so many people are afraid to tell others they want to lose weight because people say, “you don’t need to lose weight weight to be confident. Love yourself.” Or “you’re fine just the way you are.” And yes, while those are true, there is nothing wrong with wanting to challenge yourself and your body to become stronger and overall more healthy by working out and eating nutritiously. Proud of you for taking this step to become more confident and healthy in your skin! Can’t wait to watch and cheer you on!

[@nahircavaleri98]

Brooke I’m so excited for you and your health journey!

[@jayciedunbar2558]

Omg!!! Brooke I’m 22 and I started ww last week and I’m also on the green plan!! Please keep talking about. I love that you’re doing this so I can follow along. Also I have been calling it ww (and a lot of people do) to make it sound better. We got this!

[@Housemads]

Self love & that self confidence isn’t always built off of looks! It can have to do with feeling successful, feeling smart, feeling loved, etc. Your appearance is related to that yes, but what are some other things that make you feel good and confident? I bet being a good role model helps, having good friends, a wonderful family, all of your subscribers supporting you! That can be a source for your confidence as well. You’re the main character of your life so start acting like it! Do the things that make you feel good, manifest and work at your goals. You control your life and your feelings💪 go get it Brooke !!

[@clarissagarza]

hey brooke, it's actually called WW now instead of weight watchers

[@somerdelbridgexo]

I most definitely enjoyed the first half of the vlog with all of lifestyle content!

[@javierasch]

i totally relate with what you talked about body image and fashion!! something that helps me is following content creators that have a similar body shape than me, and get inspired by their style. Also, to stop shopping in stores that are use to make small pieces of clothes or where sizes are not representative of ll body shapes. sending love! i'm excited for this new content!!!

[@AlissaintheCity]

The pandemic has been so hard on everyone in so many aspects but I agree with you on the health & wellness aspect. I've gained about 10 lbs this year from not exercising, using food as a stress coping mechanism; basically not taking care of myself! I made a goal to myself to take care of myself and stop looking at the numbers, counting what I'm eating, being so harsh on myself and trying to love myself more and be more forgiving. This is such a weird time but hoping it can only go up from here. Goodluck on your journey, can't wait to see more on it!

[@Imveryboredandannoyed]

2:49 I felt this so hard. I know personally, I want to make adjustments to myself like have braces and learn makeup and such, but beyond that I think it's just important to love yourself. If you focus on changing yourself too much, you will never be content because there's always something "new" you need to do. You only have one body, one chance at life. Are you gonna spend it picking apart who you are or being comfortable with who you are and just LIVING?

[@macairelisicki]

love to hear your goals for this year! I hope you continue to share!

[@KristaCannady]

yesss so happy for you! love that you are putting it out there, because I know that it can be hard to do, but it is a great way to manifest success 🤍

[@Directioner1011]

Everything you said in this video resonated with exactly what I’m going through! Especially about wanting to dress nicer but not having the motivation to due to not feeling my best. My peloton is coming in two weeks and I’m SO ready to get on my health grind! Here’s to 2021 and bettering ourselves! Quarantine was hard on all of us. We got this 💕

[@EmileeSmall]

Thank you for this! Since hitting my "2nd puberty" at 20 my body hasn't looked the same as when I was in high school- I've beaten myself up about it but am learning how to love my body again! Now I focus on living a healthy life rather than what the number on the scale says

[@bethtoledo9488]

I've done WW multiple times and I honestly love it!! I lost like 27 pounds on it during college. I've gained back about 10 pounds since then but I think I was too thin so I'm happy with where I'm at now. There's absolutely nothing wrong with wanting to look the best for yourself! You go girl!

[@madelyntrefzger6702]

I totally relate with the not wanting to dress up due to being so uncomfortable in my body. I got really into health and fitness my senior year of high school and I was killing it until I went to college and gained over 50 pounds, found out I have an autoimmune disease, and now I'm a junior in college trying to get back on track. I was telling my mom I have literally not gone shopping or bought new clothes in four years because of that. So happy for you in this new season! :)
