I’m LOVING how active you are on KZbin at the moment, in love with you and Stevie and just your vibe. You’ve made me want to move to Manchester too 🤦🏽‍♀️ x

[@kayleighjones451]

Me too!!!!!

[@rebeccaoconnor877]

Me three!!

[@alessiaianniello97]

The consistency and dedication of this girl in just one week?! Chef kiss😍 I was watching an old video of yours and.... boom a new one!

[@NefelyFrate]

Honestly bravo!! Your mindset is great I'm so proud of you and so inspired at the same time! Keep it up and love yourself every step of the way, weight loss is a journey and a difficult one, even if you have a meal(s)/day(s) off just bounce back it is absolutely fine and happens to all of us. Hope you have an amazing time on your holiday as well xx

Hey Rachel I think you’re doing amazing I just have a couple of tips for you-when doing squats, try not to butt wink at the top and focus on making your knees and 90° angle so you achieve more depth before progressing with higher weights. Also, for RDLS make sure to keep your head down so that your spine remains neutral and when you’re coming back up, imagine that your feet are stuck to the floor so you really pull up with your lower body rather than your upper body. Kickbacks, try and keep your hips square to the floor and lean forward a bit more with your head down, don’t focus on cooking as far back as possible and keep the movement slow and controlled, when you start take a step back so you have more room. You’re honestly doing amazing, pre-workout is unhelpful as it just results in a spike of energy and after this passes you can feel very exhausted and you don’t want to become reliant on it for heavy lifts, creatine is not great for weight loss as it holds onto water in your body x

1. Sugar cravings last around 20-30 minutes, so distract yourself by putting your mind somewhere else, ie. Clean your room. With time cravings will get easier to manage. 2. Motivation is like that shitty cousin, comes and goes whenever it pleases. Motivation is very unreliable, so we rely on consistency, discipline and habit instead. 3. Break your big goals into smaller weekly goals. Monitor your progress! 4. Start with small workouts and increase it every couple of weeks. That way it will become a habit quicker and you will stick to it. 5. Mediocre people lead mediocre lives! You will achieve great goals in live if you do more than what is expected of you.

Totally relate to the bloody lower stomach, that thing is stubborn af. You’re looking awesome, great work!

[@jesswallis2709]

Hey Rach, I love that you’re on this this fitness journey, I’m on it with you! I follow Krissy Cela for all things fitness and her KZbin videos are the absolute GOAT for the breaking down how your form should be during exercises. Just thought that may help ☺️ xxxx

[@ghostinthesnow]

Yay!! Just in time for my treadmill run!

[@taylorgallagher6494]

You’re motivating me so much watching your routine ! Love you Rach 🤍🫶🏼

[@shaunahelks1678]

I have been watching all your old videos and you actually make my night! I get the snacks ready and actually feel like im having a girls night with you! Your so funny yet so real and amazing! Keep being you 💕💕 xxxxx

[@APinchOfBecky]

Rach - you are looking fantastic and I can definitely notice a difference, if you don’t mind me saying. I’ve just signed up with a nutritionist/fitness coach. It’s very scary but also exciting as they’re trained professionals in helping you be your best self. Your videos are helping me out with my journey, so please keep it up ☺️💗

[@shaboyd_7694]

Glad you’re enjoying your healthy routine ❤️ you look so happy and full of enthusiasm for it which is so contagious! & Stevie is getting bigger and bigger, such a cutie 💕

[@sophiewatson97]

Love watching this journey you are on Rachel! As long as you are happy in yourself, the number on the scale should not matter 🤍

[@emmasullivan5237]

Hey Rachel, you are looking amazing and love the vid xxx

[@amyking3999]

i love these vids so much!!

[@jemlouise2241]

Always save your vids for a Sunday evening, you just get my head in the right space for the week ahead 💆🏼‍♀️ you are literally glowing of late and I’m loving watching this journey! Also would recommend Fabletics for high impact sports bras for a bigger bust - so good 👌🏼🥰

[@Naturegrl7]

I love watching you! I feel like I’m hanging out with my bff. You’re doing great. You look great. You’re a wonderful human being and that’s all that matters in this world. Do everything for YOU, YOU, and YOU!! 💖💖💖💖💖

[@lilitamalia777]

you are literally the ONLY youtuber i have notifications on for, ur so entertaining, i love ur personality ♡♡♡♡

[@ashleymattsen3557]

I absolutely LOVE kitty cuddles! Stevie’s tiny meow is so sweet 🥰🥰🥰

[@sarahayy]

Love your motivation! Protein snacks are amazing and help the journey to his your target. A good rule of thumb for yogurts is make sure there is more protein than sugar! Or just get plain greek yogurt high in protein and no sugar and just add in something to flavor it.

[@kirstiegog]

I am trying to get into fitness keep these coming ❤️

[@courtcraven]

Girl have you tried the Tropical Fruit Jordan’s?! SO GOOD

[@CathDaddy]

You’re doing amazing Rach!! I used to think I’d always have a double chin too, but it went away after a certain amount of weight loss and I actually had a jaw!! 🤣 absolutely just takes consistency, not perfection! Never beat yourself up for making a “mistake”. Just don’t stop!

[@jackielance5416]

I’m sorry but the laugh at 10:13 hasss meee 😂😂😂 get it girl, you’re doing amazing!

[@noradk9430]

I literally love when stevie comes in the vlogs 😍😍😍

[@eileenboffo6300]

M&S do really good extra support high intensity sports bras. Well done Rachael you're doing brill👏

[@cmcm.2897]

you don't need to have pre workout, it just usually gives you more energy & "pump" you basically feel like you can lift anything 🤣 it does make you feel super itchy depending which one, they're good to use for weight sessions. Creatine is good to take if you can't see anymore result like you've just got to where you want to be but you want to achieve more with your body 😘

[@darcyralph6594]

Omg i just tried a new variation of those kick backs today!! Krisy cela put them in her perfect workout routine for everyone video recently, the best burn I have ever felt! You kind of go back and to the side 🥰 you are doing amazingly you look incredible 😍

[@leilataylor4502]

LOVE this video💛smashing it

Obsessed with you and loving all the content. Ps Chin looking snatched!!! Xx

Stevie is growing! he is Gorgeous! He got it from his mama ❤love to you and yours always from Nova Scotia Canada xo

[@charlottejennings4807]

scales can fluctuate for a million different reasons, they are only good if you don’t ‘care’ about the number xx

[@laurenalexisbella]

Lmao I squealed when you said the cat vomiting thing and your laugh 🤣😂

[@nicolaclaydon9028]

I would try being more bent over like a flat back for kickbacks. Think you can feel it more that way 😊

[@hanzmarsh]

nooooo he felll asleep on uuuuu let him stay on u 4eva xx

[@myrasmusson4473]

You need to eat more calories than that, it will get very hard for you to keep up with the workouts otherwise. 1600 calories is enough if all you do is lay in bed all day, you will loose half a kilo in a weak by doing that. But if you’re working out and doing your daily activities you need to eat a lot more than that. You shouldn’t loose more than half a kilo a weak. Weight loss like that is very hard to maintain. Obviously people watch this video at own risk but no one should encourage to eat this little, especially not when you’re working out as well. Be careful, take care of yourself, be patience, let it take time and you will maintain. 💕

[@vanessssam]

Couldn’t live without an Apple Watch now highly recommend for holding yourself accountable for fitness x

[@poijai60]

What are your headphones? What brand ect please I want them!!

[@dakotarupp1665]

I would get a Fitbit just as another tool to help you, if you think that it could make you become obsessive then I wouldn’t. Also I think if you are going to the gym consistently on your own then I wouldn’t take pre-workout. Again it’s another “tool” or supplement that I wish I would have avoided in my weight loss journey because I became dependent on it. Creatine on the other hand is the highest researched supplement, so I would utilize that if you were going to add or incorporate anything else into what you are already doing and talk to your PT about it. Great job on your progress, I have lost 100 pounds and it’s very hard and very easy all in the same journey! From your video it sounds like you are enjoying the process and not getting carried away with it and that is what is most important! It’s a marathon, not a sprint!! Sending you lots of encouragement and support! ✨

[@YummyFoodLahore]

❤❤❤

[@charliemahon8423]

I would recommend a fitness watch! But do not believe the calories they tell you that you burn! I love mine for step count targets 😊

[@cc_sxx5136]

If you know your going out for tea on the weekend just give yourself a “higher calorie day” so every day throughout the week save yourself 50-100 calories per day, then on the Saturday or whatever day your out you can have your daily cals and all the left over cals that you’ve saved throughout the week, this way your still in a deficit and able to enjoy yourself x

[@bia8596]

Babe you look so good xx

[@BeautyFaze]

Deffo don’t get fixated on scale numbers. However you won’t gain weight from it being muscle as you aren’t eating enough for that.. it could be water weight. Anything. But overall the scales should be going down and the odd week etc it’ll stay same for whatever reason. You need to be eating a lot lot more to build muscle xxxx

[@elenabruneau]

hiii babe just wanted to let u know how proud I am of u for doing this and how fricken well you’re doing. I decided to go on a similar journey about a year and half ago and it completely changed my life. I just wanted to reassure u as someone who has come out the other end that you are doing everything right and that as long as you continue, u will achieve everything you’ve ever dreamed of!!!!!

[@ellsmary5246]

As somebody who has been on constant diets since the age of 16 in the last 18 months I have found that my mindset to a healthy lifestyle has changed and the way you talk is so encouraging and you really do send out all the right messages. You can live a healthy lifestyle, have fun, enjoy life without having to hate your body. I love how positive you are and you have the best energy. 🥰🦋👟💦❤️ A quote you might like is “Comparison is the thief of all joy” … a little reminder that none of us should compare our own journeys to others… just like flowers we all bloom in different enviroments and at different times of the year 🌸🌼🌺 Keep it up Rach! xx

[@honorraex8509]

hi! creatine will hold water in your muscles - it makes them appear larger - but, i'd say if your goal is weight loss, i wouldn't take it as this obviously increases your water weight. i would maybe look into this after you hit your goal weight, if you then want to focus on muscle gain. pre-workout helps with fatigue in your workouts, and will help you lift heavier, but it's a LOT of caffeine, so wouldn't really recommend if you have bad anxiety.

[@lucyfreeman6796]

I would really recommend an Apple Watch, I got mine from Facebook marketplace (a lot of people don’t use end up selling in great condition) ❤️

Yes the more muscle you have the more calories you burn at rest.

So inspiring!!! I remember when I began my fitneas journey too and it was the hardest thing until I got into a good routine. Keep going girlie🥰 For kickbacks- if you don’t feel the burn perhaps you might want to try going at a lower angle. RDLs- try looking down, it helps too! 🤍🤍🤍

[@hollysmith2623]

I love your positive mindset with fitness :) I’ve definitely been slowly becoming more obsessive and critical about my appearance and hearing how balanced the way you live your life makes me motivated to get out of this toxic spiral🤍

[@graciemae1695]

You do gain weight from muscle, my pt told me so and told me never to weigh myself just go by my clothes xx

[@BeautyFaze]

@@graciemae1695 yes of course you do. But not in a calorie deficit you don’t build muscle as you aren’t eating enough for that. So Rachel won’t be gaining muscle yet as she’s in low calories. You need to eat a lot more to gain muscle. So just saying she won’t be gaining muscle weight right now x
