How I Lost Weight By Changing My Mindset | The Only Way To Lasting Change 

The 8-12 months is a bit too unreallistic unless you don't have too much to lose. It takes a lot of people 8-12 months just to learn and lots of that time is spent making tons of mistakes, possibly doing too much too soon and getting injured, watching wrong information, trying multiple fad diets, fad workouts, before they actually settle on a system/schedule/routine that actually works for them and suits their fitness preference and lifestyle. How many people watch David Goggins and want to run a marathon and start out and then get shin splints or pull a calf muscle on the first week. The body sometimes needs time to adapt and catch up to where the mind may want it to go. I think optimal results with optimal training and not crash dieting and not getting loose skin around your belly will take about 2-3 years of sllow and steady progress. There's no need to rush things. It really all depends on how fat someone is at the beginning and how motivated you are to change, and also if you have previous training experience or not. Someone getting back into the gym or who is chubby with a muscular foundation underneath who already knows how to squat/deadlift, etc will have faster progress and also already know how to diet will be able to do it quicker than a complete sedentary newbie. And someone like a college student or high school student will have quicker success than someone who is much older (hormones less in their favor) or who has family/kids and more obligations, etc. In the end, if the mindset is there and there's no adverse injuries or underlying health conditions, anything is possible!

@@komoru maybe for someone who has never dieted in their life...

accepting myself is the HARDEST part. I can never do that.

Planning extension for me depends on the starting point ... the worse the shape ,the longer the plan ... 1.5 to 2Kg for month make sense... more is complicated

You can do it! I'm very happy to be able to help you :)

Idk if this will help you or not along your journey but I was in the same predicament you mentioned about being overweight all my life and trying and failing over and over. The thing that I think helped me a lot is realizing you are not a switch you can’t really just suddenly say to work out as the motivation eventually runs out. The best way I have found to overcome this is sleep plus doing the bare minimum everyday. Maybe there are days where I don’t want to go and work out but I can at least do one push up. Be just 1% better than yesterday and eventually you’ll have a full habit and there will be next to no mental effort. I’m still very new in my journey and have only been working out a year now and even tho I wasn’t perfect I’m now ledges head of my past self. The changes were so small it didn’t even feel like changes but now I’m a different person to who I was. I’m confident you and anyone else can do the same and while it’s by no means easy it’s definitely possible. I wish you luck on your journey :)

Ditto 33 y/o woman

I had a similar story, and I went to a diet group clinic (something like alcohol anonymous but for fat people, lol) and that helped a little bit (I was the heaviest I have ever been at that time), but didn't work the long term, I lost about 5kg that I gained recently and stayed there for months. 2 years later I had gone mad after I went to the group HIIT training 3 times a week and had a weekend walk and bike routine and followed a diet that my trainer gave, which consisted of preparing all the foods and measuring all the time. and after all that, 6 months later NOTHING happened!!! a lady that was 20 years older than me in the same group started getting abs and my trainer didn't even believe me that I was sticking to the diet. I quit and started eating 1000 cal a day and walking 10,000 steps and that helped me lose 10kg in 3 months. after that, I just maintained and tried running for a while but nothing changed in my weight, just lost like 3cm in my waistline, not even a dress size. I still don't understand (my) female body, exercising does almost nothing, even when I pair it with healthy dieting, and my only help was when I had gone mad and developed an eating fucking disorder, I hate it so much.

@@alexanderschreiter943 thank you so much.

Your comment is inspirational. Enjoy the journey and keep going!

Keep up the steady progress! In the beginning don't worry about seeing changes every day. Brick by brick. It takes time. I would weigh in or do a waist measurement every 1-2 weeks. Chart the progress for YOU. That will be encouraging and motivating, even if you lose 1/4" off the waist in a week, if you do that over the course of 52 weeks, that adds up!

Yes Channers

It does! I’m always taking notes so this helps to summarize

Thanks! But isn't point 5 missing ? :D

@@wanheekim You are an amazing RU-vidr, I’m glad that I have stumbled across your channel, you speak a lot of things that resonate within me, and I truly feel like it is true. Keep up the great work, and I pray that more people stumble across your page🙏

Thank you for this!

You forgot make it fun

Ong

YESS!

Exactly! Glad you see it the same way :)

thanks!!!

Well put Calvin!

@@wanheekim Can't wait for the next video you put out!

Striking that balance between discipline and fun in the process is key

@@wanheekim And disicpline becomes so much easier when you actually enjoy it :) I think you always can find that balance if you can determine the level that you're actually at and work from there instead of pushing yourself to a level you think you "should" be at. It's very hard to really listen to yourself though and to be kind and easy on yourself.

Yes!

haha thanks!

Thank you! Gratitude is actually so important for weightloss

That's amazing! Yes becoming aware of our beliefs and even going a layer deeper is so important for lasting change :)

Thanks a lot man! :)

Welcome aboard! Thank you :)

That's a deep thing you realized. I hope you take the next step ;)

Richard, my opinion is that you shouldn’t jog if it is painful. The saying ‘no pain, no gain’ is not helpful at all. Use the walking machine and vary the speed and incline according to your level of fitness. If you can manage 40minutes (build up to it) your metabolism will continue to run at that pace for the next 24 hours. If fat loss is part of your goal, you should move at a pace that allows you to speak (this keeps your body in fat burning mode). I have used these techniques in the past, along with weights and a healthy eating plan, to good effect.

@@margaretgiudice7698 Sorry, when I say pain I just mean the regular discomfort/fatigue from exercising. I seem to be totally fine with the fatigue that comes from strength training, but I can't stand the discomfort that comes from jogging, and for some reason I feel like I'm doing a marathon wondering when is it gonna end even when there's only like 10 minutes left. I think I just need to start small and build up gradually, and evaluate my beliefs to make sure there aren't so many negative thoughts putting me down.

Ok, I understand better now. Perhaps you could find other forms of cardio such as biking, HIIT, swimming or a dance workout like Zumba (good for flexibility too). 😁

Very authentic energy

Thanks! I appreciate that Jordan.

You're not eating *anything* for 30 days?!

Thanks!
