  • Bitch you dumb as shit! First you on a gain weight journey and then you on a get fit journey....you so PRESSED for attention like get the fuck!!!! SO ANNOYING, you and kimmaytube get me so irritated moe..

  • More on your videos on this subject please!

  • Taren you are so funny :)

  • You remind me of my sister ahw

  • Tech is cool he taught hip hop dance @ my old hs hiii! Lolz

  • damn! Taren you are so beautiful and i really like your sexy lips :)

  • that would be cool if you or Tech could talk about the hip/waist circumference and how that ratio can let people know their risk for developing cardiovascular disease. Not just for having a small waist, but it has a health benefit as well. Looking forward to seeing more videos. We need more examples of healthy living and eating.

  • You got a cute little bubble booty (no homo)

  • whooooooa whooooooa taren what happened to the first half of the intro....the intro is like MY MOST FAVORITE part

  • yeah taren, u are an inspiration!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i know that you will be awesome for ur photoshoot, keep us updated!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • I admire your courage Tarin. You are an inspiration!

  • Good luck on your journey Taren...you continue to inspire me in yet another area in my own life...THANK YOU!

  • Wow! You two have great chemistry, and you seem bubbly or maybe nervous?

  • I was wondering what his website is

  • I'm working on my mommy tummy too!! Go Taren! :) Thanks for sharing I'll be watching!

  • I love the hair!!

  • I'm coming on this journey with you Tarin!

  • Oh yeah, Im toning too......no losing, lol. Wanna be meaty but toned and firmed not skin and bones.

  • Im doing the same this summer Taren, good luck on your journey. I have gained this weight and now Im running, kickboxing, cycling, and swimming. High impact workouts and ugh..........weight training. We can do it girl can't wait to see ur results!

  • Yeah taren why are u wearing so many weaves! u look so pretty with your short hair! are u over it now?? o and ur body looks great! im looking forward to seeing your transformation!

  • Go for your goals hunni! I think sometimes ppl on youtube forget that its YOUR body and its YOUR hair....do what makes you happy! But I think you look cute :)

  • You go girl!! I know you are going to do amazing!! :0) I can't wait to see the results!

  • Love it Taren!! Do yo thang :)

  • girl you are frickin HOT!!!! but you do what make you happy GO GIRL!!!

  • You so remind me of Tisha Campbell right now! You look awesome and you really do motivate other to want to be healthier...Be blessed!

  • Tarenn got a bootyyy!!!

  • Good for your Taren!! We all need to stay focus on our health and fitness.

  • Maybe I've been in CA too long, but a full face of makeup to work out???? A trainer with a pork pie hat???? DANG.

  • @nkyner LOL!! Why do ppl think I have a full face of make up on?? I just had on lip gloss and I always have my lashes on... with a touch of blush... No foundation.... That's how I am and it doesn't bother me one bit when I work out...

  • @taren916 am i wrong to think there's absolutely nothing wrong with wearing a splash of makeup to workout? it would serve as motivation for me especially being a single girl running around park slope with beautiful... hard bodied... men -dreamy sigh- i say rock it taren!

  • @taren916 Im the same way with my lashes...lol I always have on light blush, lashes and lip gloss...nothing else...it's not too much...and at the same time you are recording this video to go online for thousands to see, nothing wrong with looking nice girl.

  • @nkyner don't be mad cuz tha lady looks good while she works out. Where's the rule that you have to look drab while training. hater.lololol

  • Oh Taren you look great! But I saw your "reason" vid, so I totally understand. Go for it girl!

  • I will look forward to the other videos in this series.

  • you guys look so cute together...him being your trainer at all...lol

  • You had me rolling on the floor when you said let me be honest lol!! I always suck my little pooch in too lol!! Thanks for doing these videos, I'm so excited to watch your progress and learn as well!!!

  • wow i have like the same exact measurement lol

  • I need this man in my life!!!

  • I kind of like the woman's pooch! I don't know what it is. I don't like a big gut, but I like the woman's pooch.

  • yay! i'm so glad you're doing this and am looking forward to more videos

  • Best of luck... I'll be watching.  I lost 65 since November & i'm ready to tone. Make us proud gurl

  • I love you Taren and I appreciate the full view of having a baby 3 years ago. I'm looking forward to my weight loss journey because I'm in the same boat but way larger. Good luck.

  • you LOVE the word "actually!" lol love you!!

  • Girl. I believe his tape measure is broken, there is no way you have a 32" waist. Now 40" hips may be possible because you got back (LoL!), but not a 32" waist. Those measurements are a size 16.. You are not a drop over a 6. So.. Maybe the batteries are dead or something. But that is just WRONG! LoL! (I know the thing doesn't have batteries. LoL!) Long story short, you look AWESOME. BUT.. good luck with your fitness quest. Hope to see more videos. :)

    Jen

  • @BlackAngelPlayah

    I have a 32' in waist and I wear sizes any where from an 8 to 10. Everyones body types is quite different.

  • @BlackAngelPlayah I agree with BelTriniCurls. I'm 6'2, 167 lbs with a 32 in waist and 40.5 inch hips and I wear a size 10. Waist size is not indicative of clothing size b/c I know plenty of thick sistas with small waists...some smaller than mine.

  • @Dinqnash Oooo... K.... I'm not sure if what I said was taken as an insult or whatever, as I don't know who BelTriniCurls is or what she said.... But I'm actually saying Taren looks much smaller than indicated.. Maybe 32" isn't a 16, but she just looks way... WAAAAAY smaller than that. This is actually a GOOD thing.. All these things... Are compliments.. Yeah.... :) Sorry if it was taken otherwise.... That is all.. :p

    Jen

  • @BlackAngelPlayah BelTriniCurls also responded to your comment and basically said the same thing I said. But no your comment was not taken as an insult, I was just responding and giving my two cents...didn't mean it in a negative way. :-) Take care!

  • Great video; I would like to see when u go to the grocery store and do your shopping for the right or correct foods to buy. That is where I have my problem.

  • Good luck! I too am on a 6 week program to get fit for my B-day this can be another inspiration to keep fit. I need to flatten and tone a bit myself :)

  • Thanks for sharing...lookin forward to the upcoming progress vids! I'm on an 8 week "tighten up" plan myself LOL but I'm just running everyday. Bon chance!

  • Why are yall hating because she is getting in shape?! Everybody don't want to be thick, full, whatever. She wants to get toned. Thats great! This is why us as black people are so overweight because when the weight starts creeping up, we think its cute. She's getting healthy, good for her!

  • @TrialBlazer2k9 I totally agree with you. Black and thick are not one in the same. We are various shapes and sizes.

  • @TrialBlazer2k9 Thank you!!!!!!! 

  • Pay attention people, Yall asking questions that have already been answered. She said she is toning up about 20 times

  • @ chatmickable.. I totally agree because my waist is a 26 and hips 39 nd it is so hard finding paint 2 fit around the waist cuz it jugs the butt area but then ur pants can still fall or ur able 2 c the crack of ur behind :( not good

  • Taren got the cake!!

  • Hey Taren! Tech's approach sounds like da bid'nizz! Can't wait to see upcoming vids!!!! Thanx so much for sharing and best wishes on reaching your goal!

  • I really appreciate this video as I am trying to start getting healthy as well. Good luck to you on your get fit journey.

  • uh oh! Taren got booty :D

  • I thought you said you we were too skinny. You got a nice figure and a booty. What did you do to gain the weight? By the way, the trainer is quite handsome! ;)

  • Hi Taren, thank you so much for the video. Please how did you do your hair in this video I love it. Thanks a lot

  • This is great Taren :) I'm more than sure you will reach your goal and stay with it.

  • Dang I need someone to help me like that lol. Just finished eating a bowl of chocolate icecream. It was the one made from buttermilk that's at Wal-Mart look. It was good but dang!!!!!

  • hey!

    what are his rates/website? I live in fort greene, and I definitely need the help!!!!! :)

    Also, my waist is a 27 and my hips are a 40, and I must say, the hips look a lot better on you than it does on me! my one piece of advice would be to try to lose weight all over and not just on your waist, because then you end up with the problem that i have - nothing fits right.

    besides that, I WISH YOU THE ABSOLUTE BEST OF LUCK! :)

  • omg you are the same measurements as me! I'm trying to tone up too! But I'm trying to lose! I went from 195 to 165 and tring to lose 15 more pounds (So I can weigh 150...any lower and I look too thin, since I have larger boobs ) I'm 5'4 so yea lol. It needs to be done. ugh! So glad you are documenting this journey! We can do it together, and you can def be an inspiration to all of us to keep going and MOTIVATED :c ) keep us updated on FB too :c P

  • Wow.. I just got measured tonite and my measurements are the same.. I'm just much shorter.. Please keep us posted b/c I'm trying to get down to a 28 as well.. But I want to keep the booty just tone it up

  • I was wondering ,would you mind telling me what you did to gain weight? ive been trying and trying and im not making any progress. =[

  • how tall r u?

  • @Yira04

    I think she said before that she is 5'9

    :)

  • Ooooh, I'm so looking forward to this!!! He helps you pick out the foods too??  He needs tho come out to Philly!!...lol I need all the help I can get!! Blessings with your journey.

  • Thank you for sharing your journey with us

  • You are so brave for during this on YT. I support you and will try to get on board with your wellness journey. You have a nice butt...don't worry not into females

  • Taren you are so inspiring!

  • These girls are either crazy or so obsessed with you. Ill be real. I think you should tone your stomach and your arms. Also tone your butt so that it has a nice toned shape.

  • Wen you work out... why dont you put your hair in a bun or pointy tail?? And you do you have lipstick??

  • i love this

  • im so.... excited. i just had a baby 4 months ago,so i need all the help.

  • Hope you get the results your going for....even though you look great all ready. Looking forward to the updates!

  • Taren you got sutch a nice figure, why are you willing to loose weight ?!

  • @zolite Thanks.. I don't want to lose any weight.. I just want to maintain and tone...

  • Rumpshaker!!!Taren nothing small about that rump...:)

  • Lol taren your butt is soooooo cute no homo it's just such a cute bubble butt (that's a good thing)

  • saRob0304 I appreciate the comment. Been watchin her videos for a while, even before her prof. NY curly haircut her hair was not damaged. She explained why she wanted it shorter and it wasnt heat damge just wanted change. I appreciate variety but why cut off your hair to wear fake hair...doesn't make sense. I wanted to know if she regretted the big chop. This is where I can hear her answer rather than someone answering for her. I wanted to know HER personal opinion.

  • GOOD LUCK GIRL

  • lol...i appreciate it, taren. i can totally relate. lol

  • I'm sort of confused. Why did you cut off all of your beautiful hair just to wear weaves? Do you regret the big chop?

  • @avab1 She had a lot of heat damage and wanted the short hair look..She wore wigs and weaves back when she had longer hair too...It's all about variety :)

  • @avab1

    huh?? you do remember she did the big chop because she had some heat damage right??? she did not WANT to cut her hair--she cut it for health and to bring her curls back..in the meantime she wears a wig that lks just like her longer curls--before they were cut...therefore, she doesn't miss her longer curls as much.

    that's my take on things

  • @avab1 She had heat damage.

  • @avab1 im pretty sure she said the main n possibly only reason as to why she did the chop was 2 grow her hair back 2 the health it once had because it was heat damaged n so fourth n she wanted a fresh start..I mean come on..u can't blame her for wantin to wear a weave or wig..her hair was so beautiful and long lol..plus she said she wears wigs as an inspiration 2 wait until her hair grows back to it's original length..i doubt you'll be seeing her bothering too much with them once her hair grows.

  • @avab1 If you saw her earlier videos iis because she had heat damage and her curls were never the same.

  • @avab1 BECAUSE SHE WANTED TO. ITS HER DAMN HAIR....WHEN SHE TAKES IT OFF SHE STILL HAS TO DEAL WITH HER HAIR...MAYBE IT WAS TOOO MUCH MAYBE ITS TOOO MUCH HAIR TO TUCK UNDER WEAVES....GOSH ITS JUST HAIR ITS GONNA GROW BACK....MY GOOODNESS WHY YALL ASKING STUPID ASS QUESTIONS?

  • @avab1 I don't think she regrets the big chop, I think she cut her hair due to some damage issues and needing/wanting to get her beautiful hair back to a nice healthy state, so, that being said, I think she ROCKS the wigs and weave as protective styles to give her natural hair a break and to switch things up a bit from time to time...I hope this helps...LOL! Peace and blessings ;o>

  • Taren,

    Would you mind asking your trainer if he knows of any trainers in Atl Ga who also embrace his training ethics and style. I really really need a trainer like this.

    Thanks

  • I definitely know how you feel about the "pooch" and I have had any kids lol I guess all my weight goes to my tummy

  • Good luck on your journey! I am just starting my own journey....40lbs by 40. I will be turning 40 in April and want to lose 40lbs by then. This past year I put on 30lbs. So we will see how this goes. Good luck again.

  • im excited to see more episodes about this.

  • Ohhh I am going to be hot on this series of videos, I started a similar goal myself, have had two babies close together and have a matching "Pooch" great idea for inspiration, thankyou so much. Tech seems lovely, very supportive and polite. P.s even without the training I have to say you look so great! When I first learned of your weight gain goal I though "that girl is crazy!" but now that you have it looks great on you, you were right. Good luck with your goal, I will be watching! xx

  • I think it is great that you are focusing on total wellness! Good Luck and I hope you make your goals! Blessings! Aketa

  • I love the weight that I'm at right now, but I can do without the pooch as well. You're on the right track with the trainer. From there, you can develop you're own routine. Good luck with your goal.

  • Good luck! I am starting my own fitness journey too. :)

  • you were saying how u had the pooch and all for 3 years now so y did u want to gain weight in the first place?

  • @misscarriebabii well i gained healthy weight on purpose so i could become thicker in some places and thinner in the tummy…so i went from 120 to 145 and i toned and sculpted my body down to 131…alot of people do it that way idk if that was her motive tho =]

  • @misscarriebabii Cause I was really skinny and still had a pooch... Lol ... I wanted the weight in certain places to be curvy but didn't really take my pooch seriously until now..
