6 WEEKS IN : RESULTS OF MY WEIGHT LOSS JOURNEY 

Just think of 13.5 lbs of butter...that's what came off your body. Congratulations on your incredible dedication. Even when you had challenging weeks, you managed to keep motivated. Good job. So inspiring. 🇨🇦

WOW!................you are doing GREAT! Dont beat yourself up for slipping up on a snack or meal, just keep in mind that you will go back to your moderation in eating. I've always practiced moderation, people will mention that that I don't have much food on my plate. I usually say, if I feel like I need more, I will go get more. Usually, I don't. Keep up the good work! Don't be discouraged if you slow down on your weight loss, it's perfectly normal.

Well done, Arielle! That jacket is gorgeous!!!! And wow, you look stunning in it.... The trick with any wweight loss program, is how to adapt your lifestyle, in order to maintain your weight at goal. (I am sure you know this already) At my own age (73), I have found that intermittent fasting works really well, and then I walk briskly for 30 minutes per day (our village is just the most lovely huge garden!) as well as chair Pilates daily. (about 10 mins per day) At my age, the trick is to maintain mobility and balance, and not strain muscles and tendons! My weight is lowering very slowly, but I see this as a bonus now - my goal is to maintain fitness and mobility. But - well done, you!!!!

Because you're creating muscle, which burns fat, your actual size is probably smaller. Good job!! Jacket looks great😊

I’m starting my weight loss journey and I needed this ❤

U inspired me to start my own weight loss journey. I’m 3 weeks in & I’ve lost 16 lbs. I’m eating high protein low fat low carb only lean meats, veggies, eggs, nuts, & salads. So very strict diet since I have a lot more weight to loose than u. I am missing my carbs but I have no self control when it comes to carbs. That’s my downfall so I just cut them out almost completely. I hope u will continue to keep posting ur weight loss journey. I’m really enjoying it. Thank you & congrats on all ur hard work. U look great!

Well done, Arielle! Keep it up. Trust me, later in life you will be so happy that you stayed focused on healthy eating and exercise. Movement is especially important. Unfortunately, I didn't do a good job of this and I am now paying the price with health and mobility issues. Sadly, one of the consequences of these health issues is that I am no longer able to travel to Paris. Happily, your content brings a little of Paris to me! Thank you.

Ariel, remember that it isn't just numbers on the scale that count. How do your clothes fit? Every ten pounds is a clothes size you are losing. And you're building muscle. Muscle weighs more than fat. Great job, girl!

You are inspiring me to do even better! We have been losing weight, my husband has lost over 70 pounds and myself about 20. I cannot figure out how men lose it quicker. We eat in moderation, when we feel just right we stop eating even if food left on the plate. He also has a sweet now and then, I am not doing sweets and makes me feel so much better. You are doing an awesome job!!

I love the jacket on you! Even your facial contours look sharper. It's a good idea to establish healthy eating to maintain your weight loss long term - in the event of gyms being shut, sports injuries, etc.

Great job! You look so good! Thank you for the links to the walking pad and chicken salad recipe. Would love videos of you cooking healthy meals :)

Love seeing your progress Arielle! All your hard work and consistency is paying off! Also love that your boyfriend is so supportive and has been inspired by you! You got this!! 👍🏼🙌🏼

You go girl we are all in your corner. You ate an example to me

I really appreciate you sharing with us that you have good weeks and bad weeks and still you keep going. This has really helped keep me going. You are an amazing inspiration.

You're amazing! Thank you for sharing your journey with us. Love your authenticity and energy! 😍

Well done!! Love the consistency and moderation!!

Congratulations! You are motivating me to start watching what I’m eating- sweets are my weakness too!

Thanks for brining us along on your journey! Your meals all look delicious and loved seeing Jean do some cooking, too 😊 loooove the jacket, it’s so pretty! Not giving aluminum foil vibes 😆and yay for secondhand!

You can really tell in your legs and ankles. like less inflammation! Im dealing with extreme weight gain because of swelling and I came across your video. I use to get at least 15,000 steps a day and now I don't. You make me want to get a walking pad for sure now.

Thanks for sharing! This was very motivating! Keep up the great work!

👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 Great job stating consistent!

You can 100% tell the 13lbs.. your legs, hips, and upper body look alot smaller! Great job!

I’ve been struggling for a few months the, but this is motivating! Thank you!

Love your foods! They look amazing, and so do you. And the foil jacket is gorgeous and a perfect fit.

Be proud of yourself! It's hard work but the results are worth it. Small changes here and there help.

About your 4th week : women can gain some weight around and during their period (due to water retention among others)

Awesome results!

Wonderful and so glad Jean is running again. My ex started and directs the Toronto Women's Half.

I stumbled across your channel. You come across with such a kind genuine personality . You have a new subbie!😊

Wow you must be so proud 😊

Fantastic!

Bravo on your consistency. Weight loss is not easy. Hello from Toronto. ❤

I'm inspired by your journey. I exercise, but am intrigued by the walking pad idea.Question: what insights did you get from the stressful week and how, going forward, you might maintain your health practice when life gets crazy?

It’s so awesome that you inspired your partner(?)❤ loved that part.

Great motivational video.

Great work

Congrats! I know it’s not always easy. I changed my diet a week and a half ago and I’ve lost 3.5 pounds! I think the most important thing was increasing my protein, watching my calorie intake, and paying more attention to serving sizes. I use the Calory app and it’s helped a lot. The protein and fiber really helps you stay full as well as drinking more water. And a sweet treat is okay every now and then! RU-vid is your best friend for finding healthy alternatives to foods you love. I can now make a healthy pizza that truly tastes like REAL pizza and it’s high protein and lower carbs. 350-450 calories for the entire pizza depending on the toppings!

Spaghetti squash is good!

Do you like your walking pad? And what brand did you get! Good job by they way! You look gr8!

Hey! Love the video! Just curious: since you LOVE gummies, have you ever tried SMARTSWEETS???

How you make your iced coffe? Thx

Great job! It's been fun to watch your journey. It's kind of funny to me though that you don't consider what you're doing to be extreme dieting - if I'm weighing everything I'm eating and working out six times a week that is definitely extreme for me lol. But I guess what you mean is that you're not starving yourself. Regarding the time and energy it takes for the meal planning and grocery shopping, have you ever considered using meal kits (like Hello Fresh or Quitoque)? I use them and it really really helps not only with time and energy, but with portion control since you can't just make as much as you want (although I do almost always add extra veggies to bulk them out).

Use lentil or chickpeas pasta its good and full with protein

Love your video! How many calories do you eat per day on your weight loss journey?

Use gluten free everything especially pasta. The weight will just drop off.

Always need a new healthy breakfast recipe. Can you share your oatmeal bake recipe ?

What is the recipe For the overnight baked oats?

You're doing amazing, but I really want to comment on your skin. It's so dewy and glowy and absolutely beautiful! You have the skin of my dreams, lol! 😂 How do you do it? Are you just blessed with glowy skin genes, or is it some Parisienne secret that we don't have in the United States?

How many calories to you eat a day? Thanks!

Flying tiger has exercise equipment really cheap sometimes..

Love the loss weight . You’re Parisian easy walking anywhere , I live in Los Angeles drive everywhere, we drive just toss the garbage really hard to have time to walk in this city . I saw LeBron James LAKERS world#1 basket ball player he said No Carbs No Sweets No Dairy for 6 weeks loss really fast . Just hard to follow no carbs sweets dairy it’s like no Live .

Absolutely luv the result in the thumbnail, those slim hips are what I want

But #s fluctuate daily - did you go to the bathroom? Retain water? Remember also that gaining muscle is a thing.

Scale weight isn't a perfect metric and you seem really fixated on that number, and "losing weight". You were visibly deflated when you'd only lost half a pound. Measuring yourself with a measuring tape would be good to add into your check-ins, because you might be staying the same weight but losing inches as you lose fat and gain muscle. The changes are showing even if the scale doesn't say so.

Can we stop normalizing these so called BMI charts that are not inclusive to women of colour or women in general… for example if you were to sit at the bmi and wt standards for your body type and structure you wouldn’t be at the correct weight. The bmi charts do not include different body structures and types in women! If you want to lose weight great but don’t worry to much about the charts!

You realize that there are onky146 calories in a medium head of cauliflower and 221 cories ib one cup of pasta.
