OH LAWKS - IT'S A CALORIE CRUSH | CARLA JENKINS 

Well done Carla for posting this vlog. You've acknowledged your problem and put it out there for all to see. You're a brave lady. We're 100% supporting you, go for it!

It takes a lot of guts and integrity to post a video this honest. Bravíssima!! 👏🏻🤩

I’m a soon to be 74 year old was put on a diet at the age of 10 been on diets ever since . I’ve been thin ,fat and somewhere in between but I’m still trying and will continue to try but no more clubs or stupid eating plans just good fresh food. We can do this Carla no judgment slow and steady wins the race 😘😘

Saying that weight loss is not easy is an understatement! We are all with you hun, and wish you the very best. Xxx

You haven't failed carla.I think you are incredibly honest and brave.you have inspired me to get back on My weight loss journey.

Very well done for getting back on the bike Carla. This video must have been so hard for you to film. Most of us relate…I certainly do. Good luck lovely lady ❤

Carla I was 36 stone at my heaviest. I did WW, I tried SW, that brought me to 29.13, joined nutracheck. I’m now down to 24.3. I’ve had knee clean out op, I suffer with my back. I’ve an underbelly (skin) that needs operating on but can’t because of recovery due to my size. Weight brings its own problems doesn’t it. Pain made me do it. I had swollen legs, I feel like a granny with pressure stocking. I relate. Everyone is with you. Since doing nutracheck I’ve not looked back. I been plodding along and it’s taken 2 years to lose 5 and half. But this isn’t about me, it’s about YOU. FAILURE IS ONLY IF YOU STOP TRYING ❤ surround yourself with people who support you

Carla you can do this,we are all behind you 👍👍😊

I'm glad to see you're trying again. A lot of us have similar problems with weight, pain, and middle-aged depression. We do need to normalize discussing it as our mother's generation were too embarrassed to.

Hi Carla,I could see you were close to tears at times. Don’t let this get you down - you can do this and you know it. You’ve done it before and you can do it again. No, it’s not easy but it is do-able. I’m dieting too (stopped smoking and put on 3 stone) and so are many of your followers. We can all do it together xx big hugs 😘😘

I have just found your channel and so glad I did, this morning especially as have just gone over the 19 stone mark and feel so depressed about it and can so relate to the aches and pains. I lost 4 stone a couple of years ago and have put it all back on plus more. I shall follow you avidly now as feel I have found a kindred spirit x

Supporting you now as I did before. Good luck Carla. Hope your pain eases soon.

Best of luck Carla. Try not to be so hard on yourself, you’re only human.

No Carb Life you tube channel , only real life stories, amazing turnaround accounts. Worth a look❤

Husband started keto diet and had amazing weight loss, so I joined him. He's lost 3 stone, I've lost 1 stone, it's really slow for me (over 50, post menopausal) - and the last two weeks, I've put a little back on and I don't know how. Why is it so easy to put on yet so hard so lose? But, since dropping the carbs, I don't get the massive blood sugar highs and lows. Take care xx

Our lovely Carla - you have so many people wishing you every success - it's inspiring how you never give up - sending hugs, Deb x

Oh Carla don't be so hard on yourself your amazing you have done it once and you will do it again ❤ I like you have battled with my weight my whole life. Here's hoping we both will succeed 😊🙏🤞

Dear Carla, I have undergone gastric band surgery in 2009 and lost weight and then regained it. I then had the band removed in 2013 and then had gastric sleeve surgery and lost weight and then regained it. I was on Ozempic for a few months which was working for me but then due to the shortage here in Australia for diabetics I was unable to get a prescription for it as I am only a prediabetic and not a diabetic. Wegovy has not yet been authorised for use here in Australia and the cost of it would be far too prohibitive for me anyway. I too am a carb addict. I currently weigh 134kg which is only a stone under what I was after my first weight loss surgery. I’m not anti surgery but I think weight loss is so much more than just eating less, eating healthy and exercising more, it’s psychological, it’s environmental, it’s economical, it’s genetic and it’s not one size fits all. The reality is it’s bloody hard and it never ends. Please don’t be hard on yourself about it, what you need and what we all need is more kindness, more understanding and more love so that’s what I’m sending you from way down here, kindness, understanding and love ❤

Hi Carla. I needed to hear that today, thanks for making me feel not alone. I’m cheering you on, you’ve got this x

After watching your vlog I thought what a brave lady you are. You did it before and you can do it again. Good luck lovely lady. Xxx

I've put on 3 stone and have just started again as well. Good luck ❤

Just keep imagining how you will feel by Christmas if you keep on with doing this. Pain will ease, your mental health will improve and you’ll sense some accomplishment, a great Xmas pressie to yourself, but you already know all of that! Small steps add up, I’m with you on this, i ‘planted’ the first seed yesterday and will keep my Christmas goal as a focus date. Im taking it slow and steady, gradually fading out my devilish foods and introducing swaps. Hopefully now the weathers changing, I’ll get out the house more meaning more movement 🙏🏼

Hello Carla, So proud of you for being able to go on this vlog and open up about your struggles. God knows we have all felt the way you feel. I support you one hundred percent, and wish you every success. Please don't think that you are a 'failure'. every small bit helps, and you are still lighter than when you started. Good luck for the next week, ❤❤❤

Hi Carla I'm not one for commenting but felt I had to today. I have been watching you for the last 18months and you are an inspirational women in SO many way! It makes me sad when you say you have FAILED 😢. I don't think you are 🤗. You only fail when you stop trying and that is not what I see in you. I see a strong determined women who inspires! ❤

Carla you are so brave for posting this video 👏👏👏👏 You are to be admired for sitting there pouring your heart out to all and sundry with the pain you are feeling both physically and mentally. We all fail at times thats just being human. Nobody is perfect. Take care look after yourself you can achieve what you did before you are a strong lady! Sending you lots of love and support ❤

Hi Carla, I'm so sorry to hear you are in pain all the time. The body has a way of telling us off. You have not failed!! You did it before and you can do it again. Team Carla!

Good on you Carla, I think you are brilliant for putting your self “out there “ ❤️

It’s like listening to to myself can’t help myself ,I made a bunch of rock caked today!!! and ate five

This is the most relatable video. You haven't failed because you are sat here trying again. I wonder if it also feels worse now because your body knows what it's like to be a few stone lighter and how good you felt? Just a thought! We are all behind you, no matter how long it takes x

Carla, I could have said exactly this. Pre- COVID I had lost almost 2 stone. (From 19.4). Now I have been diagnosed with Atrial Fibrillation and the cardioversions haven't worked. I lost weight in the short window they did. But now up to almost 21 stone. Waiting for an ablation procedure who knows when. I, also, hurt everywhere and any exercise is like walking through treacle, but, like you, continue the daily dog walk for the sake of my gorgeous working cocker, who deserves so much more. Will follow your progress and take both inspiration and comfort from your videos, as I have done for the last years. Thank you x

So pleased Calorie Crush is back. It is so so easy to put weight back on, not so easy to take it off. I totally agree with what you said you can either give up or start again. I have re-started my loss journey again this year, have been half heartedly doing it for the last 4 weeks. You haven't failed - you are still trying. Definitely will be an inspiration to me, I hope you succeed.

It’s all about mindset and it sounds like you’ve got some determination in your voice. I also struggle with staying on track, but try to be mindful of what I’m fueling my body with. I wish you the best!!

I feel for you. If I had kept off all the weight I lost on various diets I would be invisible! But i did it eventually. Took me 3 years and it was tough but worth it. Good luck and keep going. You WILL get there

Bless you for your honesty we are all rooting for you❤️👍🏻

I am full of admiration Carla. Good luck with everything you want to achieve ☺️ x

Well done Carla for making this video, I’m struggling too , we can do it ,but it’s so hard I know how you feel about the gastric bands etc… I would be too scared to do them too !! I hope you can sort out your legs!! Good luck sending you massive positive vibes xxx❤

Thank you so much for posting this , very brave . You have to be commended to openly posting this . I too started at 25 stone I lost 7 St but when my mam died I knew the weight would start going up I was aware of it going on but kept trying and giving up . I now have high blood pressure diabetes. It's painful but looking at your vlog this morning I'm going to try again not going to give up . I'm with you on this journey . It's hard to be this big and hard to loose this but I need to choose my hard. ❤❤

Good luck Carla, so brave in posting this vlog. Alot of us struggle with our weight and fall into all the traps etc. We are with you all the way. WE CAN DO THIS XX❤

Carla we have all been where you are today we have all had a fail at some point , but to me its not a fail it's just that you are taking the scenic route and you will defiantly get there in the end. You are so brave to owned your little slip up. we re all so different when trying to do a calorie controlled eating plan. I think you are wonderful to actually talk to us about it , I love your sense of humour. you are a wonderful mother and friend. Yes friend I know I do not know you personally but to me you are my friend I look forward to sitting and listening to . Keep up the good work and look forward to next time you upload xxxx

100% behind you carla lots of love xx❤

Hi Carla, I really really wish you well and am willing you on all the way. I love your vlogs whatever their content as your sense of humour and zest for life is so refreshing. So to see you sad and in pain was upsetting. But you’ve done it before and you will do it again. All your subscribers will be behind you and with you on your journey. Take care and this is the start of a new you again. Xx

We’re all behind you Carla Good luck x

I think this will be your time Carla, I’ve not seen you so emotional about how you’re feeling with the pain etc. Hopefully that’ll be the motivating factor to stay in the saddle 🤞. Best of luck x

Carla you are always truthful no matter the cost and such a lovely lady ,keep going it's great to see you on here again I'm going to love you weekly vlogs xx ❤

I do wish you best of luck. I understand every thing you are going through. Mental attitude means a lot. ❤

Carla... you can do this again. Will your close friends help to support you? The ones you are seen socialising with, the ones that you meet up with to eat out etc. How about Natalie, could she join you in your journey? Its difficult if others are seemingly eating the food you are not. Good luck, I'm sure you will be successful. Lots of support on here for you. X

Hi Carla, Welcome back 😊 It takes alot of courage to make a come back & face the scales & you should be proud of yourself 😊 so glad your back 😊 I respect your honesty & your determination for not giving up & for Starting a fresh new journey 👍 I wish you all the best of luck x Sending positive hugs xx 🙏😊🤗💝🌈

I too need to drop some weight so will begin with you! Cutting out all those carb treats and going back to pool exercise. Wishing both of us good luck. Cheers.

Hi Carla, you’re very brave to put this up. It made me feel emotional watching this. My daughter has had weight problems for quite some time so I know the struggles to lose weight are very real & difficult. 4 pounds in the 1st week is fantastic so you should feel very proud of yourself! Very well done. As others had said, we’re completely behind you. Keep at it :)

Hi Carla, have you asked your Dr about the soup and shake diet? You have not failed, its hard but keep smiling 😊

You've got this Carla x Looking lovely, love your hair and those eye wings... Good luck, sending love and hugs X

Thank you so much for sharing such a honest video. I lost weight 9 years ago & now it’s creeping back on. Bread is my weakness. Wishing you all the best x

100% supporting you Keep going one day at a time ❤❤🥰

Carla this is one of life’s journey you can do it take one day at a time don’t think of how much you have to lose just do your best each day best of luck🐶

Best wishes Carla hope all goes well for you , be kind to yourself, you have lots of support no matter what happens 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🌸

We are with you Carla, and sending you as much support as possible. xxx

You're not alone Carla. We are all here rooting for you. I'm 51 and trying to change my career. Nothing smart in my wardrobe fits. My joints feel stiff in the mornings too, but we've got to keep going. xx

Thank you so much for your honesty and vulnerability. It is not easy putting yourself out there. What you said resonated so much with me. I look forward to your videos and will be working on myself right along with you ❤️

You’re one brave lady for going on camera and pouring your heart out. I’m sending you positive vibes and much love ❤️ x

Bless you ❤ Sending you best wishes. I understand the struggle is real and menopause makes it harder.

Sending you huge hugs Carla, this takes an awful lot of courage and bravery to do on camera. I’m going through something similar but with severe, crippling anxiety as a result of an abusive relationship I left 18 months ago. I have become virtually housebound and despite hours of therapy, I can still barely leave the house. I’ve neglected everything, myself, my diet, my appearance, my home, my relationships. I’m trying to do something small each day to push me out of my comfort zone - at the end of the day no one can do it for me. Like you - I don’t want to spend the rest of my life like this. Sending you all the love and strength in the world - I know you can do it xxx

I just want to give you a hug. God bless you with determination.

Can I just say how immensely brave you are - not just to start back on a weight loss journey (I know many people would just give up, stick to pain killers and live a more and more limited life) but to be so honest and open about it! You are an incredible human being and you can do this, remember the old adage you only truly fail when you stop trying, everything else is just a detour (doesn’t matter how big it is, it’s just a detour) on the road to success! You go girl!

Oh Carla you are so brave putting this video up for everyone to see so very sorry that you feel sad 😢. It’s not an easy journey to lose weight I have struggled since I had my children 51 years ago ! ! Like you I have tried almost every diet going 🤦🏼‍♀️. You can do this it won’t be easy but you know you can cause you have done it before . Wishing you all the luck in the world stay strong XX

Thankyou Carla for such an honest video - I wish you the best of luck - you’ve got this !! Xx

Good luck Carla . We all just want you to be happy and feel healthier ❤❤❤❤❤

Stay strong and focused. You can do it - face your demons head on. We all have faith in you. Good Luck

Good luck, Carla. There's no judgement here. it's tough ❤

Well done for being so honest, and good luck.. I have Lipodemia in my legs and arms no matter of weight loss will change it, so I eat for comfort... I know bad... xx

I wish you all the best Carla! You can do it! ❤

I’m so sad that you are in pain. Emotional and/or physical pain has always been my only motivator for change. Like others, I totally support you, and will continue to watch your videos, I think you are a wonderful person with so much to give. I seriously laugh at your videos when you are being funny. Keep up the great work.

I am so glad you are doing this again, my body aches, I am a lot older than you, but you were my inspiration before. I wish you the very best of luck. My mood is so down at the moment and I know, like you, it is my weight. please dont knock yourself, you only need small steps xxx

Good on you Carla, it’s not easy ❤

Good luck ❤️ it’s so hard x

Your video really resonates, I have been a yo-yo data all of my life and fat for most of it too. You know you can do this because you have done it before, you have the knowledge and are fully equipped. You are in control. You go girl, do it for you. ❤

Well done you are so brave and open Please keep posting so many of us can relate to your struggle, one day at a time

You are not a failure I know how you feel I think you are so brave to have courage to be so public I wish you all the best in the next few days As you well know if you can get into the routine better chance of success

Oh Carla, you haven't failed my lovely 😢. You are just human and losing weight is bloody hard! I am in a similar boat to you - weight & journey wise, so I do fully understand how you're feeling. But you have done the hardest thing now. Admitting that enough is enough, drawing that famous "line" and deciding to turn things around. Remember - you're still 2 stone lighter than when you started which is fab! You know you can do this, you've done it before. We're all right behind you - you're not alone. You've got this! 😘 xx

Best of luck lovely lady.Sending love xx

You are brilliant! Go Carla

Good luck Carla ❤️ xx

You can do it, Carla. And yes, as you said, you're the one who has to do it. My therapist said that to me early on in my therapy for severe anxiety and it has stuck with me and spurred me on through all I do for my wellness and self-care. You're not alone and I wish you all the best. Sending love and healing energy. Xoxo Robin ❤️🤗

I have struggled with my weight my entire life I totally hear you, Good luck, It doesn’t matter how many times you need to restart & refocus it’s the not giving up that counts xXx

Good luck! You are not alone lots of us feel like this xx

I really felt for you watching this. I am in q lot of pain and nobody has the answers. Your such a strong person be kind to yourself. ❤

You’re a wonderful person x

Carla …you’re not alone …I’m in a similar position..pain etc ..and I feel very much as you … reading the comments so are others .. but you are much braver than me …you’ve put your story here ..well done …sending love and good wishes .. you can do this …❤

Please don’t beat yourself up Carla, IT IS NOT EASY TO LOSE WEIGHT! Yes, only you can do it, but I know where you’re coming from, I lost four and a half stone, a few years ago, I’ve put it all back on during COVID, and can’t get my head around doing it all again, I’m in pain all the time too, so I really feel for you as it makes you so unhappy ☹️ take care you’re one brave lady for sharing 😊

Hi Carla - I saw you on Caroline's channel a few weeks ago so am paying a visit. Weight loss is so tough. My other half is a bread and buns fan. He lost around 6 stone after he was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. He's regained about a stone and a half but is managing to keep stable at that weight by doing intermittent fasting (eats breakfast and dinner only but is flexible so if we want to go out for lunch he skips breakfast or dinner that day). It works well because he basically eats whatever he fancies at the two meals so doesn't feel like he's on a diet. The diabetes remains 'reversed' which was his goal. Good luck going forward.

Carla struggling with you, but success is trying, failure is giving up ❤❤❤❤❤

Always cheering you on Carla - ❤❤

Oh Carla, my heart goes out to you, mainly because I know exactly what you feel. Although I’m many many years older than you, I’m exactly the same, and have a great deal of pain due to arthritis problems and weight of course. We all want you to succeed and so I for one will definitely be following, copying and rooting for you. I’m not going to say all the normal profundity’s because they are useless, just know we are all here to support you. X

Carla I put on 4 stone in a year after stopping smoking. I did a high protein diet, always full, no snacking. Walked a few miles daily too. You're beautiful inside, out. More important than being slim. You will get there again. Much care.

Well done Carla , it takes guts to say it to everyone. Stay strong. X

Good Luck Carla You can do it! I losing weight to Positive vibes all the way

You a beautiful Carla, you have wonderful friends and family! You have every reason to do this! You've done it before so you can do it again xx

Here for you. I shall be cheering you on as I am on a similar path. Stay strong. Sending love xxx

i love the honesty of your videos. i would say, maybe for calorie crush videos, turn off comments as they seem to trigger you and hamper your focus. of course it is up to you, and we will support you always

Carla your so brave to do this video I have a brother in Australia he has kept his weight down all is life and he eats everything but in MODERATION and that's what I struggle with I will eat something and then go back for more it's down to willpower at the end of the day ,good luck ❤

Hi Carla i admire your courage to vlog about your weight loss journey,you haven't fail it's a blimp and we all have blimps some more than others, my own weight loss journey is just the same you are not on your own we just have to keep on trying,i love how honest you are I'm rooting for you goodluck x
