How did I lose so much weight - my weight loss story 

You’re so real for telling all of the tough stages you went through with yo yo dieting and binging. Not many people are willing to share that, but it is so helpful to the people who truly struggle to see that they aren’t alone and it is possible to change. Love this video 💕

My heaviest I was 324 pounds. I have made it down to 185; but now I’m having a baby 😆. It’s okay. I know what to do:)

I’m currently on my weight loss journey and this time I am 100% focused. Started 3 weeks ago and I am 9lb down, 25 to go 🎉

I love how you are not concerned about "looking good" but more so for Health...it's very inspirational. Thank you!

I like how honest and down-to-earth you are. You are a beautiful woman with amazing tips

You are amazing the way you talked about your journey it felt like a friend talking to a friend. So proud of you you gave so much motivation 😊

this is the most relatable video, your just real and its so refreshing Thank you sincerely! and you gave so much useful straight up info while relaying in a real experience down to earth way, Im not a write a comment sort of person but your vid is one of the best ive watched on this subject mainly because of the reasons above and ive randomly watched a lot through out the years, so please keep going you will help so many people with your realness x

7:07 this is so important. Everyone needs to find their way. They can have some inspiration but they need to find out what they like and what works for them.

You are so pretty! Blonde hair with brown eyes has always been a beautiful combo to me.

Wie kann man nur so sympathisch sein. Danke für dein tolles, motivierendes Video ❤

You literally described my life..when it comes to weight..Always the heavy the one amongst my friends. After kids, I started working out became a gym rat..healthy eating. Was always asked are you trainer? Then menopause hit..struggling to get motivated and balance hormones. This video is just what I needed..thank you.

Thank you for sharing your experience also in english!!!! I started to be inspired by you but often found german contents. I'm happy you are extending your public to strangers 😊 even if I'm not an english native speaker, I can understand your words and actually I feel a lot in common with your first stages. I'm still looking for my own lifestyle. My relationship with food takes away a big part of my mental energies and time... struggling in finding a routine... but I'm working on it and found your video really helpful. Thank you so much!!!!!

Hundred percent agree with you. Your journey seems to be normal. Thanks for your sharing ❤

Thanks babes. This was too authentic I had to comment 💕🥰💪🏾🙏🏾

100% agree, it has to be a lifestyle to sustain. Great video 👍🏽🙏

I found you on TikTok and I’m glad you share your videos here as well. First of all, you’re so beautiful, especially your big and cute eyes. Secondly, you did an amazing job. I’m on my way to lose weight and my diet is healthy food too, I avoid any sugary food/drinks and don’t eat anything that contains flour and milk(I’m lactose intolerant), go to the gym 3 times per week. And I already see results, one month passed only. So, what you share is the only healthy way to get rid of fat and get toned. Thank you for your responses.

I was 243 now 166 🎉 36 to go!!!!!!

This was very real and inspirational. Thank you for posting it. It really did give me the little push of motivation that I needed. It is a hard process to find what works for you and does take time, but it’s worth it. Ignore the rude comments; You did great. Unrelated- Can you tell us what mascara and brow gel you use?! They look amazing on you! 😍

Good Monday morning Jo. Congratulations on your weight loss. You're looking fit and fantastic. Your tips for a weight loss journey are absolutely inspiring. 👌👌😉😉

I can relate. I spent a year inGermany and I lost weight. I think part of it was walking and taking the transit system everywhere, but the food was so wholesome and good.

*Thanks for sharing your story and the steps that led to your success. Your video is both informative and encouraging!*

thank you so much for this!! it’s very helpful and you gave great advice!!

Loved this video! A lot of people mistake healthy for « for weight loss ». I was one of those people as well and it took me a little while to understand the difference and the caloric content of ingredients (ie: nuts, granola etc) which we would consider healthy - and it’s not wrong - but not for fat loss. Anyways, loved your videos! Happy you’re happy ❤

8:44 I think it’s also important to set goals, but small ones. Baby steps to get to the bigger goals.

Fantastic insight into your weight loss journey. Thank you for sharing and well done!

You're so lovely and fun to watch! Definitely subscribing

Great video. I would love to see a what I eat in a week or my week of workouts. Your journey is so inspiring.

Thank you for this! It is so inspirational and motivating! ♥️

😃 loved the cat drinking from the tap. High vol low cal is a great idea.

i really love your story ; and love your makeup too

Tq Jo ❤❤❤ this 'lifestyle' advice is really helpful :)

Love how honest you are !!! But also you so relatable .& funny . Any juice recepies recommendations ?

For the first time in my life I've FINALLY found a video on weight-loss that feels so reliable! You describe my thoughts and feelings completely which makes me so inspired by you. 💓💓💓 So, THANK YOU for sharing your journey and being so open about it! YOU'RE A STAR! 🥹⭐

I am new here ❤ congratulations! Such an inspiration 🎉 I’ve seen your videos on tiktok x

Thank you for sharing your journey ❤ I was at a low point when I came by a reel of you on Instagram. It was the push I needed

Great video. Very inspiring. Don't compare and just set your own personal target. You look phenomenal.

Thanks for sharing your story, it inspired me

Is it sad that this video made me cry, recently dealing with the fact that I gained back all the weight I lost. It’s makes me feel so bad because I felt so comfortable in my own skin and I was just loving my life and now I’m right back in a mental space where I’m constantly worried about my body and how I look and it’s mentally exhausting.

Wowww! Such a beautiful story 🥰👏🏼

Same thing, moved to USA, gained 50lbs in 2yrs. 4yrs living here and I still have the weight on me.

I can not understand why no one is talking about how disordered not being able to not eat an entire pizza and generally her relationship with food is

Thank you! You are very inspirational

Awesome video from start to finish! Bravo 👏🏻 😊

Welcome to the club. I was on yoyo dieting and trying keto fasting . But gained all the weight back

If you’re a parent reading this, and think the solution to your child’s weight issues will be for you to tell them you worry and that they need to find a way to lose the weight, then you are so off and will often time make the issue worse. Also know that eating disorders are about the emotions and an inability for the person to regulate their emotions. The food is their addiction and very rewardng and numbs their emotions. How you treat your child during their upbringing is key to avod them struggling with their weight. This is a psychological issue, not a food issue (the food and weight are symptoms of psychological issues)...hence why nutrition and physical activity knowledge and seeing a dietician are things that don’t work longterm, due to the core issues were not dealt with! *Asking your child about their emotions, listening to them talk about their experiences and not emotionally neglect them are ways to avoid these issues. This didn’t psychologically happen over night, it’s years in the making!* / Uni. psycholgy student

loved the video and so inspiring!

Very inspiring!! I wonder if you could share your workout routine!! 😇

hey jo, i love your story and your content is so helpful to someone with the same goals! when it comes to eating out, having a balanced diet, and going over your calories for the day/week, what do you recommend to balance out those unhealthy calories for the rest of the day/week?

You’re beautiful inside and out good job to you 👏 for accomplishing this!

We understand that we won’t lose weight from the food you eat but just like you got your meal inspiration from the VS model, others wanted to be inspired by you.

“Find a lifestyle I can stick to and enjoy without restricting self.” “Fruit is like my candy alternative” (but don’t go overboard and be aware of calorie density of different fruits) “Be honest with yourself”(about what you’re actually eating) “Find healthier alternatives to what you enjoy” (eg make energy balls, make own peanut butter) “Be in calorie deficit - eat high volume, low calorie” (eg eat berries more than bananas, high water content veg) “Develop a routine - when to eat, what to eat, when to exercise” “Don’t compare yourself to others” “Start slowly and keep going” (losing weight fast can result in yo-yo, bingeing, putting it all back on)

I’m on my way I’m down 21 lb thanks so much for this great video!

thank you for this video! it helped a lot!

I was always a healthy weight and then got leaner and more muscular from 19-21 years old. I was regularly 125lbs-128lbs. I’m 5’2” and that wasn’t too lean for my frame. Then I got pregnant with my son and gained 45lbs. It really showed on my frame and I really didn’t look healthy. I tried a lot of things, but finding someone who can help you find your macros and sticking with them with healthy/well balanced foods is a game changer. My second pregnancy, I didn’t gain any extra fat. Just the weight of the baby/amniotic fluid. Stay active even if it’s light and don’t starve yourself. Lots of protein! And lots of water!

You are so inspiring!😊

Thank you so much for this video!! It really motivated me! Where did you buy your cross necklence? it's so delicate and pretty

Thanks so much for making this

So,so happy and proud of you👍

Great honest video x

So motivating ❤ Can you share what exercises you do? And what leg exercises you did to lose weight in thighs and calves? Xx

I just lost 6kg, only way I as able to do it is to stop visiting my mum everyday XD She just wants to feed me and when I say no she acts sad. I've been chubby all my life because my family would force me to eat, so I had no self control, still don't. BUT now I am really trying to lose weight and keep it off. I am trying to motivate my mum and dad to also lose weight because they are getting older. My sister is severly overweight but she doesn't want to lose weight, I think it is "faal angst" (fear of failure) she says she is "happy" being 120kg and only 160cm tall. I just weighed 70kg at 160cm I was 76kg.

please share your detailed weekly gym routine

Really enjoyed this video. Thanks for the English video ❤

Loved this video your advance was great.

I think the healthy/unhealthy thing is so odd. Depends so much on what you compare it to. Like for me I was eating "healthy" in the sense that I ate a lot of vegetables, protein, varied food, but I just ate too much for my body. Like I would eat two avocados for lunch, and although avocados are "healthy" two of them was putting me in a calorie surplus. Tracking my food and making sure I was in a small déficit and strength training 3x times a week is what helped me. I ate the exact same, just a more appropriate amount for my body. And since I'm gaining mucle and losing fat I can more easily maintain my body as mucle is more metabolically active than fat. Yes it's important to get the nutrients from food that has more vitamins and nutrients, but it won't help to eat "healthy" if you're not in a déficit. And you can be in a déficit only eating fast food as well, it's probably not going to give you the other benefits whole foods and vegetables has, but you could still lose fat.

I just subscribed your videos are very informative and helpful and therapeutic

Danke für das Video, Jo 💕 liebe Grüße, Jil :)

I am glad I watched this I was feeling down because I lost the weight and gain it back. I did a diet not a lifestyle.

When I moved to USA everybody said I would gain weight. I actually lost weight here in the first year. Mostly because I did not like the food at first. Now 5 years later I never gain more weight then when I came. But I am still trying to lose weight and become thinner.

Thanks for the video!!

Thank you for making this video in English!! 😊 🎉More please haha

Watching from South Africa. You have a beautiful face too. Congrats on ur weight loss

Would love to see a video of what you eat in a day to get some inspiration

Great video 🙌💕

Awesome advice!

Thank you for sharing your journey 💗 so inspiring!

You gave lots of great tips! I’ll add one more tip - drink lots of water. 💧💦💧💦💧 The body won’t function at its best if you’re dehydrated.

My highest was 180 lbs. I am now 165 lbs - my goal is 130 lbs. Slowly but surely, Ive been really good at walking 10K and I calorie count to make sure I can have a treat and not feel like things are forbidden.

So proud auf dich habibo

Great job you look amazing 👏

Love the Yankee hat!!! Let’s go Yankees. You are a rockstar.

Amazinggg,which camera do you use?

My heaviest 153 after 3 kids now I’m 140 praying and working out to go down to 120

sehr sympatisches Video :) Danke für die ganzen Infos und Inspirationen... ich mag wie ruhig und entspannt du sprichst. Habe auch viel Inspiration von Romee Strijd, Sanne Vloet und Annie Jaffrey gezogen, vielleicht kennst du die ja auch :) Lieben Gruß!

Where is your sweater from?

No matter what you choose, diet, exercise or meds. Weight loss is not easy. I recently shared my story on my channel, on how I lost 22 pounds in 5 weeks, which could be really helpful to anyone struggling with weight loss.

Great video! Very inspiaring

Loved your video but certain things shouldn’t be considered “unhealthy” it only becomes “unhealthy” when your eating these things in an over abundance. The best thing to do in my opinion, is take 3 things from each food group, Protein, fats, carb, starches etc, and create you plan from those things that you enjoy eating. There’s no need to find substitutions. For some people, being too restrictive will cause them to completely stop what their doing. Portion sizes are definitely key. You can have your cake and eat it too, but in moderation. Labeling things as “healthy” and “unhealthy” creates a bad relationship with food. This is just my opinion, as I’ve struggled with food my entire life until recently. I learned, it’s all about balance.

Richtig gutes Video.... so wahr, was du sagst❤ es muss ein Lebensstil sein, keine Diät. LG

Very very good advice!!!😂🎉❤

⭐️Thank you kindly

This is so Helpful!

What's your usual daily routine?

I’m trying to lose weight and I saw your video. So useful 😍 but can you explain about the time that you suddenly stop losing weight? Not sure about the name I think it’s called plateau?😅 thank youuuuuu🥺❤️

What do you drink? Just water? Coffee? How do you drink your coffee if so?

During my entire primary school, I was overweight. I even skipped a road trip because my class was heading to the beach, and I felt too insecure to show my body, so I didn’t want to go. My teacher asked my parents why, and they explained that I didn’t wan

Jo you are so pretty

Very inspiring

My heaviest was 59kgs now I’m 53.4 kgs and still trying to lose more weight 🎉
