I cannot understand why anybody would criticize what you eat. It's your channel and your life! I love seeing what you buy and what you eat; I would never judge you.
Hi Jodi, I’m fairly new to your channel & your instagram. I can’t even begin to tell you how much your have helped me. I was ready to give up until I came across your channel. I owe you a huge Thank You for all the recipes, tips, and advice. You have been such a huge inspiration to me and I love watching your videos with your adorable kiddos! Please know that you are very much appreciated and that you have made a huge difference in this Momma’s journey 💕
Great video! And now I need to go buy some Fiber One cereal!! I am new to your channel and have really enjoyed your meal ideas. In regards to you not eating completely green…you do you!! I have learned, through my MANY decades on earth, you can NEVER please everyone and life is too short to try.
🌸Jodi you do you….. I think your videos are great I enjoy your recipes, seeing your family & how great you do as a wife & mom. You weren’t harsh. You are real & honest.
I just started WW & just found your channel. After watching only 2 of your videos, I have to say that I love how you just keep everything so real.....from kids walking on countertops, to running around all day long....it's so refreshing to see real life! Thank you for your videos! I'm just getting started watching your channel, but plan on watching many more.
Just want to say that I really appreciate all of your videos. They are quite helpful to me as a busy mom of 2 boys trying to lose weight. I hate that you receive negative comments but please don't let them deter you. Plenty of us are with ya! :)
I just added the fiber one cereal to my grocery order. I forgot all about that one! I like your videos because I try and do the same thing by bulking up my meals. I am alone with one kid all the time so I can’t imagine 5. Keep up the good work and don’t worry about the people who leave negative comments. Chocolate peanut butter premier is my favorite ! 💕
I love how real and authentic you are! Foods are good in moderation which is what you show:) Thanks for another great video and the dinner looked amazing 👍
New subbie here! I absolutely love your recipes 😍. I tried the parfait and it is now in my regular rotation (LOL).Please stay encouraged and continue to do you.I can't wait for your next post. You have a beautiful family!
You are so sweet! Thank you so much for your support and kind words!! I’m so glad you love the parfait recipe and it’s in your regular rotation! It’s one of my faves, too!!🥰
Jodi, you are doing your Best! I cannot imagine having 5 Children! I know how hard it was having 2 children. You are Amazing, just trying to take care of your Family and trying to lose weight is not easy. Please Keep up The good work! I am very Proud of you. Do not listen to any negative comments!!! You can achieve Anything that you want! Just Remember every day that you are enough and that your Family Loves you dearly!! That is All that matters!!
Thank you so much for taking the time with your busy schedule to do this! I really enjoy getting new ideas for my weightless journey. Please know you have people watching who appreciate what you do!!
Thank you so much, Shelley! Your kind words mean so much and I appreciate you taking time out of your day to watch my videos and leave such sweet comments! I'm so happy you're getting new ideas to help you in your journey--that means everything to me and is exactly why I love doing this!🥰💖
Jodi, you have a great channel. I am proud of you for finding the time to do this! I cannot imagine having 5 children and still trying to do this channel. You are Amazing, It is not easy trying to raise these children and finding time to record this. Please do Not listen to negative comments!! You are doing great 😊 We appreciate all your Hard work! Thanks!
I absolutely love your videos. I have 7 kids and it’s a struggle to find time to have healthy balanced meals when you are going all day, every day. I have found a lot of wonderful ideas and inspiration in your videos and I thank you from the bottom of my heart for that.
I just started watching you! I’m on WW purple and I think your doing great! I just shared your video with my daughter, the video that you shared about going back to the gym! She’s a nurse working 7pm til 7am, which turns out to be anywhere 8 til 9 am. I believe you will be an inspiration to her!
Love your channel! You always have delicious food ideas that I’ve used myself - and you keep it real which is why I love what you share! You’re always real and authentic, and it comes across whenever you post. Keep doing you! I’ll keep watching!
I absolutely love your channel!! I recently found you and have been binge watching since. I love the realness of your channel. I enjoy you taking use through your day and share what you eat and what works for you. It has helped me a lot on my journey and I appreciate you and you opening up a piece of your life to use. All positive vibes here 💖💖💖
Just recently found you..and love how real you are. 5 kids! Bless you 😊 I work with kiddos. And have 2 of my own 17 and almost 20. Glad you had a good day
Thank you so much! You are so sweet!🥰 You are also a saint- I have so much respect for anybody that works with children because it is certainly not for the faint of heart, haha!❤️ It’s incredible how fast they grow-so bittersweet🥺 I hope you have a wonderful day!
@@FiveLittleFins thank you 😁 they can get ya that's for sure ❤️ and oh girl! It does go so fast! Like they always say. Days can feel so long but the years fly, and thank you!
I love your food ideas. I personally do not enjoy cooking and want quick and easy ideas to help me with my weight loss journey. I love how real you are!! Keep doing you.
Thank you so, so much!💖 We are totally in the same boat! I really have to be in the mood to cook (which is almost never lol), so meals that are quick and easy are a must for me as well! Thank you so much for your support and sweet comment--it means so much to me!🥰
I was so excited about the yogurt parfait. Made it and it was yummy, thanks for sharing. Your channel is so fun to watch and I think we all wish we could eat clean, but not realistic for a lot of us. These meals you eat are probably more realistic and easier to try then others. Please keep sharing and don’t listen to those non positive viewers.
I am considerably older than you, new to your channel and have been through the raising children journey. I may not eat the same as you do, but like you said, this is your journey! I want you to know that you are doing a great job❣️ You may not know how many people you are helping, but the fact of the matter is it is very clear that it is heartfelt. Everyone is going to have an opinion and you are never going to please everyone, so keep on doing what you are doing, and I will continue to watch your journey and enjoy every bit of what you share❣️
Yaaassss! We have a large family too and all of your weaknesses are mine as well! And you are SO RIGHT about catching the little habits before they spiral out of control. I am currently doing the same thing and these videos help me so much!!! I have 4 boys ages ranging between 8-13 so it can be hectic 🤣❤️
The thing that attracts me to your channel is how realistically you eat - I'm a mum of one toddler and I don't know how you do it, you seem to have such a good balance! I love to eat everything but in moderation and I think that's what you aim for too!
You are a super person and a super mom. So far you have helped me get back in track to loosing some weight. God bless you and your family. Keep up the good work. From Puerto Rico.
You are SO sweet!🥹 Thank you so much, Elba! It is my absolute pleasure to help make health and wellness feel a little less overwhelming. I’m so proud of you for getting back on track and taking care of yourself! God bless you and your family as well🥰💕
This was such a great video ! Thanks for your honesty and your inspiration. 😊 I could relate to so many things you said. I’ve watched a few of your videos and they are helping me to get back on track. 😇
Appreciate your honesty!!! :) I'm in the same boat. I haven't tracked in 2 weeks and I really need to get back on the saddle. Thanks so much for your motivation!!
Hi Dot!💖 That's so awesome that you are on week 8 and doing well!😍 I'm so proud of and happy for you! It is an honor and a pleasure to be providing ideas, tips, and motivation to help you along your wellness journey! Cheers to another great week!🤗
That peanut butter parfait looks so good. We have all the ingreidents for this except the cereal, because my daughter does body building so she has all kinds of stuff for making work out drinks and protien shakes, but we will get some of the cereal tomorrow and will be making this. I love watching your channel, I don't know how you do it with 5 children. I watch my 2 year old great grandson and it is all I can do to keep up with him. God bless you and I'm glad you and your family are on the mend.
Jodi I found your channel a few weeks ago & I love watching youtubers who share their ‘what I eat in a day’ I eat some of the same meals as you but also got some new ideas too! To those criticize your way of eating as ‘not clean’ I say to ‘h$ll with them’ Nobody eats clean & if you do then good for you but like you said this is your journey your life & I completely agree. I too eat some fat free sugar free foods. I also eat chips, I eat some convenience foods, but I also eat a lot of veggies & fruit too & can cook full on ‘healthy’ meals when time is permitted. I am down 70lbs now & 100lbs from my highest weight. I had been overweight all my life at 9y/o I was 130lbs. Currently in maintenance & grateful for where I am at. Keep doing you because it is clearly working & you are helping others including myself. 😊 Edit: I think your gonna love that chocolate peanut butter protein drink. I add it to my coffee now & it is delicious.
You are so sweet! Thank you so much for your wonderful comment--it brought a huge smile to my face. That's absolutely amazing that you are down 70lbs and 100lbs from your highest weight! That is something to be damn proud of!!🙌🏻🤗💖. I am VERY excited to try that chocolate peanut butter Premier Protein, haha! I'm such a sucker for anything chocolate and peanut butter🤤😋
I just found you and I love the foods you eat! I’m also not a great meat eater so I can identify. Also I think your food is real and I’m getting some great ideas! Thank you!!!
Hi! I am so glad u and ur family are doing better! I want u to know that although u got those comments honestly the way u approached it was not harsh to me at all and u have helped me so much with the way u track ur food and share ur ideas. I feel motivated when I watch ur channel! I don’t eat clean I try but no way close lol and I have kids like u too and it’s hard girl we do what we can do, you’re doing great keep it up plz keep sharing! 😊 also love the shoes!
Hi friend, so glad you all are on the mend. I know it’s easier said than done, but just ignore the critics. Regardless of what you do, you’ll always have them. Sad but true. Please know that you are incredibly motivating, and you look fantastic!!! Hard to believe you have 5 kids so kudos to you. God bless sweetie 🙏🏼❤️ EDIT: Is the Kikkoman stir fry sauce sweet?
You are doing a great job, being honest in the real world. You give ideas of choices. That is what it is all about. Choices!! Am happy you are feeling better. Keep on keeping on!❤❤
I am so glad I came across your video everything you said in your car driving i is exactly what I am doing too it's so nice to hear other people are having the same struggles can't wait for all your videos
You go to all the work of vlogging, so it has to be frustrating to have negative comments. I raised my 3 boys on happy meals, chicken nuggets and corn dogs. I was a working pediatric nurse and you do what some time is easier and causes the least complaints.
You know, sometimes people that criticize others are intimidated and insecure. I find you, your family, and your videos DELIGHTFUL!! Maybe “Miss you don’t eat healthy enough”should get her OWN channel. That way she could watch it all day long!! I have tried your recipes and they are yummy. Don’t stop doing what you are doing. You are inspiring, real, and terrific🥰
You are SO, SO sweet!🥰 Thank you for always being so incredibly kind, supportive, and wonderful. Your comment made me smile and laugh, hahaha! I hope you had a wonderful weekend and a great upcoming week!🤗💕
You eat good! Your eating is on line with what I eat. I went to the dr this past month and eating the way you and I do has given me good reports at the dr. My cholesterol is down etc. if someone does not like the way you eat then move on. I ❤️ you girl! The chocolate peanut butter rules!
Girl ... you are my food twin! 👯♀️ I eat just like you !! ... so I love watching ur videos because I feel normal. I feel like you really show what being a mom (especially of multiples & tiny ones) is like! Love it 🙌🏼🤓
I love that you show what you are eating-I think it’s helpful and I find what you are eating is easy when you have busy schedule. I also would love to eat cleaner-but that’s unrealistic for me. Thanks for your channel-I just rejoined WW again so finding your channel right now is perfect 😀👍❤️
Hi Donna! Thank you so much!! I hope you love WW as much as I do🥰 Getting healthy is the best gift you could ever give yourself. Sending hugs and success on your wellness journey💕
That parfait looks delicious. I love stuff like that. I am not on weight watchers. I follow high volume, low calorie recipes. You weight watcher ladies seem to follow that kind of eating style. Gotten a lot of meal ideas from you and others. I don't eat clean all the time. I eat a lot of fruits, vegetables and lean meat and fat free dairy because it is low calorie and you can eat a lot of it. I am 17% body fat and still have some junk in my diet. Eat like you want to eat! Just FYI, you will not get lean by eating clean. It's calories in, calories out. It took me a while to figure that out with all the "clean eating" diet culture. I like your videos and your family is precious. God bless!!
Quinn's high five :) :). So sweet! That's wonderful your mom can be with you. oh my you carrying in stuff... so many trips.. i had to carry stuff in from our porch.. just plants i'd left over the winter that needed to be dumped.. we have cats so i need to close the doors each time.. in and out in and out.. i messaged my hubby and said this stuff isn't as fun alone lol as far as the comments... people will always compare.. and it is all relative.. unless we are growing everything.. raising our chicken etc.. we don't have much control on the "cleanliness" of it.. there are chemicals.. preservatives etc. sorry to get on a rant but there are days i don't even eat a veggie or drink water.. not good but i think we all know what is the best choice in the time and if we eat a ready made protein shake that fills us up and makes it easier to pass on a handful of candy later.. i say it's a win. It's a rabbit hole to go down for sure.. then it's like what is in my home/how are my clothes made.. cleaning products...etc etc it can get stressful and i think the way to help every family do better.. for our health and for the Earth.. is do what we can.. filter in more natural products.. reuse.. share.. rinse our produce... but do all the places we eat rinse their produce?.. where do you relax? Also.. all the labeling of natural and organic and all that should mean what it's saying but the devil is in the details.. companies only do what they need... a good example on the tricks of advertising is the fat free craze.... they didn't say but it's full of sugar lol they just pointed out the fat that is was fat free. I'm not so naive to think they are pressing the limits of the way they advertise.. how was the food handled from start to finish? just my 2 cents :)
Hi Sweetie, I usually just watch your channel and don't comment but I felt like I needed to. I Love your channel. I Love watching grocery hauls, what you eat in a day it gives me so many ideas of what I can fix in a hurry and something that my Husband would eat to .i'm trying to get back on track with my WW I'm down 3 pds in 2 weeks not much but I'll get there trying to lose 50 to get Healthy & just feel better and have some Energy. I have 3 very active Grandsons I have NO idea how you do it with 5 kids Anyway you keep up the Great job and I'll keep watching. God Bless You & Your Family.
Just found you recently. A recent find for me, adding some PBFit to my Chocolate Orgain ready made shake. It gives me the PB cup flavor and definitely helps with my cravings.
I completely understand about losing weight the best way we can! It is exhausting and people honestly just need to get over themselves and stop judging!
You do you mama! 💖 You gotta eat what you like. Not what other people think you should eat. Idk how y’all do it with all the comments. I’d lose it on people. You are definitely nicer than I would be. Haha. I love your videos! Keep killing it lady!
Hi, I truly think you are a awesome person and mother of 5 children is SO amazing!!! Is there anyway you could list your top facial cleansing and make-up products for us as well? I saw the video but it was so fast I couldn’t write them down in time :) I love your videos and food choices and your lovely family. If you would share a list or link to another video on make-up or cleaner, products, that would be appreciated! Have a wonderful day! Enjoy every minute with your children and hubby.
@@FiveLittleFins yes your welcome! Your channel seems real your real! very true with sugar free snacks I feel you can loose weight still have sugar free cookies other yummy foods it’s a life style not a quick fix you look amazing! You inspire me even more very happy came across your channel! I just started my journey a month ago have a great weekend be safe .
Don't worry about what people say we enjoy watching you and learning your journey and maybe what could help us don't worry about anybody else Bottom line they don't need to watch if they don't agree that's the problem with this world. Godbless ❤️
I can’t even pinpoint when this country and the people in it got to a place where judgement and unkindness overpowered celebrating and supporting each other. People truly need to do better and remember that a human being with feelings is receiving their ugly comments. Ugh. Stay on your journey, sweet girl.
I am new to your channel . I love your recipes I have to go back several times to get the full recipe and I would love to have the ice coffee recipe and everything I have watched so far is so food's I would eat.
Hi Lisa!🥰 Thank you so much! I can definitely start posting the meals and ingredients I use in the description boxes of the video to make it easier to purchase & prepare!😊 My coffee is 2 points and contains the following: -Stok Cold Brew (black, unsweetened) (0) -1/3 cup Planet Oat Unsweetened Plain Oatmilk (0) -1/2 container Alani Fit Shake (Munchies Flavor) (2) -Top off with Whipped Cream (optional of course) (I personally don't count this unless I go absolutely crazy and eat a lot, haha) I hope that was helpful!😋
Your parfait looks amazing! How do you like that yogurt? I'm always looking for good options for my clients to try and I haven't seen that brand before!
Thank you so much, Adrienne!😋 This was the Target brand (I believe Good & Gather) of plain, non-fat Greek Yogurt. It was definitely more watery than Chobani, Fage, or the other more popular brands, but it still tasted great! I would recommend it for sure!
The food scale is much more accurate because with measuring cups and spoons, one person’s “cup” may be slightly different than another person’s based on how level the top is, etc. you can absolutely use measuring spoons & cups, I just like how exact the scale is☺️
Hi Anita! Here is a link to the egg rolls on the BJs website!😊 They are SOOOOO good and I highly recommend them, haha!🤤😍 www.bjs.com/product/minh-chicken-egg-rolls-16-ct/3000000000001804249
How tall are you? I’m thinking of making the switch to WW. I’m petite in stature and it looks like you are in social media, but super hard to tell. I’m sick of eating boring foods and would like to switch things up.
Hello!😊 I'm 5'3, roughly 138lbs, and like to eat like a horse lol! I highly recommend WW because no food is "off limits" but the program does guide your choices in a sensible, healthy way. I love that the new "Personal Points" Program allows you to take a questionnaire and it caters the plan to your preferences and eating styles. If you have any other questions about the program, please let me know!💕
