At work today -I found myself thinking about your comments about your bday - you know the comments you made in your August Favourites 2011. I thought back to this video & thought maybe if you took a look back at where you've come from & see how much you've accomplished in just 13 months!?!?! It's bananas! You are definitely healthier & smaller than in this video & it's thanks to your 29 yr old self that brought you to 30 in such a beautiful way - inside and out!
You're an adorable young woman. The most important thing is that your husband loves you the way you are. I like that you're comfortable with the way you look. Men hate it when a woman nitpicks her own appearance. If you don't like the way look? Change it. Don't ask his opinion.
power to you girl, and taking control of your body. you're incredibly beautiful and strong for helping to inspire so many people. everyone who watches this will be touched.
a little tip, try limit carbs to BEFORE 2pm, after that, eat heaps of salads, veges, lean meat etc. you should hop on an excercise bike/do jumping jacks for 15-20 minutes every night and start your days off the same way. i can lose up to 3kg a week if i follow this religiously.
i have a size d too!! but i weigh like 130 something and im 15! sooo..... kinda tooo bug for my age.. but you lost alot of weight!!!!!!!!! keep it up you look sooo much better now no offence!
@rumah1988 I'm 5'5'' and I weight 140lbs. What's wrong with it? Nothing. I just have bigger boobs and a bigger butt than most girls do. Which guys like more than sticks
You really inspired me and everything you said made sense :) I just got back surgery so I can't excercise much but I do want to improve my eating habits for a healthier life style :)
That little bit of omnipresent chub on the front of the tummy is pretty much impossible to get rid of (its the stored fat for a healthy pregnancy). Since seeing it that way, I don't mind it as much! :) Also, I love that you're comfortable showing your unhidden self; it's a super positive thing for all us girls who judge themselves too harshley because they think no one else has imperfections. Good luck on your self improvement, I know you can do it!
you have inspired me to get my butt up and going, i've been planning on starting to get myself back in shape, before i was big and was in good shape, i could run/jog like 5 miles without stopping but i built myself up to it, i gained 80 pounds in like 6 months on a birth control i was on and it was too late by the time i realized what was causing the weight gain, i was always able to take off a few pounds and stayed around 175lbs but since the 80lbs i've had no big motivation to get it off. thnx
ur are my inspration!! i weigh 198 and im 5"4 so if u can do it i can do it!! i used to be very athletic when i was in hs but then i got married and 130 turned to 140 and 140 went to 160 and it just got worse!!! so im gonna try and drink more water and be healtheir an eat a lil less
@sanchezmari1106 omg my story is just like yours! ('cept im not married). now im about 205 and i dont know what happened! i am engaged and my wedding is like 2 months away and i am very saddened i will not be the 160 i used to be when i met him :-(
im joingingg u hun!! im on the slimfast diet im not fat at all im size 8 uk but i want to be toned and like you said healthyy!! :) goood luckk and i put my hands out to you for doing that that was very brave of u and your beautiful xx
Good luck!!! i think your in the right track to becoming healthier. making the right food choices is key to being healthy. Recommendations: ALWAYS read food labels and only eat the serving suggested. drink fat free milk or, even healthier soy milk, make sure all the breads, cereals and pasta are 100% whole wheat.
goodluck. i'm a 22 year old female. i have also been making healthy choice. you know instead of wendys for lunch i go to subway or get a salad. water instead of soda. fruit instead of candy!
This video is so brave and inspirational. I love the focus on health as opposed to weight loss. Healthiness does not equal skinniness!
I'm a size 4-6 and I still struggle with my weight because of the impossible media ideals put out there. I can't wait to see how your healthy changes affect ur life -3
You might want to try alittle more than portion control, like instead of having that icecream, snack on something else, if you think about the icecream then think of the reasons why you're trying to get healthy, Happened to me the other day, there's alot of icecream in the freeze but I'm eating sunflower seeds :) find good, healthy snacks you enjoy
if and when you do lose your weight you'll have that gorgeous hourglass slim waist!!!!!
by the way i have that "pouch" thing too :P ive come to realise that first it runs in my family and my skin and bones aunt has that pouch as well and als im beginning to think thats just a "girl thing" if you know what i mean ;P
Oh I've got that crease on my belly button too. I'm about ten pounds lighter than you, but I'm nowhere near as comfortable with my body as to show it on youtube. I plan on losing about ten pounds. I don't think I'd look right skinny so I'm not going to try that. I think the curves suit me. I'd just like to be a little bit tinier.
You are SO awesome and SO brave...You such an immense inspiration. <3 <3 <3 THANK YOU for being so honest and sincere helpful. I really think you are amazing.
I love this. I love the fact that you are so confident and not afraid of showing your body to thousands of people. I personally am at my heaviest ever and wear a size 17 pant, and I too have a DD chest. I am so self conscience and insecure about myself that I havent even made a makeup video yet!! You are a true inspiration to get healthier and to be a confident woman.
I am an 18, and I know how you feel, just this week I was out and met the BF's parents and they took a picture and I saw it and I went into their basement to "make a phone call" and cried for an hour. Glintzy you have inspired me!
I really appreciate this video. I've always had issues with my weight and I love how positive you've made this video. I've tried crash/fad diets in the past and the never really stuck.
This sounds like exactly how I feel. Lifechange is needed, and it's about the health first, and the weight lost will be a bonus more or less. Bravo for showing your before body. And count me in hun, let's do this! It's not about the number on the scale. ^_^ I can't wait to follow along with your journey.
Hey, try Hemp shakes, you can buy them from whole foods or online at Nutiva.com. They're an excellent way to lose weight. It's full of goodness and proteins that your body needs and it's not at all like slimfast. It's not a drink to lose weight but to it's more of a health drink. My sister bought the hemp shake and within 2 weeks she lost about 2 kilos just because it's quite filling and it's so good for you. Check it out! I'll be doing the weightloss / healthier lifestyle plan with you!!!!
I got off my diet recently but you've inspired me to get back to it. I know you said you're not concentrating on dieting... that it's more of a life style change.. but I am 5' 8" and weigh 241.5 pounds, so I do have a lot of weight to lose. I topped out at 256, and I lost 20 pounds and then gained back 5.5 pounds. I wish us luck!
i love the way u think girly! u give some good advice! dont know if u were intending on that but thanks for this video! :) good luck on your journey hun! i have another channel besides this one for weight loss. i did the crash diets when i was a teen and you are so right i gained a bunch of weight once i changed the way i ate again.
Don't believe the low-fat , all the fruits, veggies, and whole grain diets pushed on us the last 30 years. We are exercising more and are heavier and less healthy than ever. Try the moderate exercise, higher protein and lower carb lifestyles. You need healthy fats to feel satisfied longer and protein is needed for muscle. I look forward to watching your healthy journey. And can't wait to see you score some new thrift store clothes!!
Good for you. I have started cutting down my portions. I eat what I want except not as much as I before and I try to eat more healthy tough. I am also going to start using my treadmill.
Watching your videos always makes me feel really optomistic and good about myself. I've struggled with my weight most of my life (even after loosing 50+ lbs by changing my lifestyles I still have to work hard to keep on track). And I have similar acne scaring as you.
I think you are absolutely stunning, inside and out!
:) I have already embarked on this journey at the start of this year. have not actually changed my eating habits much, only subtle gradual changes and because it has been gradual I am quite happy with the way I'm eating now. it feels great and I still get the satiation. don't get me wrong i still love my food :)
I took part in a triathlon which started my fitness routine, I swim 2ks and play badminton frequently :) good luck :)!! looking forward to your progress vids.
If you switch the meat in your meals every so often for vegetarian options, they are more healthy and contain less saturated fat. just a tip. i might join you in this too btw. good luck regardless x
I made the same decision a month ago. I started great for two weeks or something. Not much changed looking at my body, but I felt healthier since I was working out every other day. But then I went through a major dip in my relationship I kind of let go and didn't follow through... Well, I will pick up were I left it and follow your lead. Thank you so much for your honesty!
i admire your courage. for me doing something like that is embarrassing bc i feel ashamed. i like your thought process about everything. i can see that being a better way of looking at things
You are AWESOME!!! I'm about to start my walking today. You're right don't concentrate on weight lost, being healthy is waaaaaaay more important. I've lost weight over the last three months but I'm still not healthy. Drink LOTS of water, eat fruit, (raw) veggies, and ALL the things you love in moderation. Strenuous exercise is not the way to go, however intentional exercise is. Good luck.
girl ure so confident about urself i would of never done a video like that...ure so brave....and that inspires me of u...good luck with the healthy changes
I'm definitely signing up for this. Credit to you for being so brave - I wish I had your self-assurance (and your chest - if you don't mind me saying!) Lol best of luck to you x
Thank you so, so much for doing this. It may seem simple, but standing in front of a camera like that and being so honest and open about your body is so extremely brave and giving of you. I know a lot of people out there are going to be able to relate to what you're wanting to do, and your mentality approaching this is so amazing. I can't say enough, but thank you , and I'll be joining you on your journey to a healthier version of who you are! Absolutely inspiring, thank you again so, so much!
Wow...you and I have the EXACT same body shape! I used to be 40 pounds lighter than I am now, but I had to really starve myself. Maybe I'll try to do this with you!
I have been working out for 19 years and still ware size 4 women's. Your weight really doesn't matter it is just a number. I alternate between hiking and weight training and I recently bought a home gym used from my local craig’s list at a very good price. After paying many years of bally membership this home gym has been one of the best investment of my life. Good luck to you!
Just wanted to say congratulations on making a decision for a lifestyle change. You are amazing! I'm a new subbie and I love your makeup tips, but this video caught my eye because I too have made a lifestyle change and i'm so excited to see others doing it. I down from size 12/14 to 8! Good luck to you.
one easy exercise is if you're waiting in a line...do calf raises=] just stand on your tippy toes while you're waiting=] you're so brave and inspirational to make this video
You are smart and are doing the right thing for you! Everyone has an opinion on "weight loss". I lost 25 pounds and I can't tell you how many people told me what I was doing was wrong. I simply reduced calories and portions.

Try reading "Master Your Metabolism", by Jillian Michaels, it really changed my life, I'm telling you!! ;) Good luck, can't wait to see your progress!! Good luck!! :)
you are amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! so admirable for you to share this! this is my favorite channel :) i want to make changes too, i wish you the best of luck
omg you're so amazing & inspiring & brave. I'm only 15 but i seriously look up to you & i NEED to be healthier. My diet it so bad & so i'm looking forward to your healthy choices videos :) x
omg you're so amazing & inspiring & brave. I'm only 15 but i seriously look up to you & i NEED to be healthier. My diet it so bad & so i'm looking forward to your healthy choices videos :) x
YES! I've been dying to find someone that is doing a lifestyle change as well as I am! I'm starting this week (I've been trying for a while but I can never be bothered after a few days!) and I want to just get back to the healthy state I was before I became a PA, I'm just sat at my desk all the time! I'm confident in my own body but I want to feel better in myself! Good luck hun!! xxx
Last week on HealthBeautyLuxury we discussed how to make the most of your shower experience. Next week on my channel I am going to discuss dieting on the road. Please come over, subscribe, and give me feed back in the comment section.
wow u are brave. i give you props for showing your body. You are an inspiration to everyone and letting people know they should be comfortable in their own skin. It has truly inspire me for sure.
you're so brave to have done this video! i laughed when you said dd boobies in the beginning, i didn't expect that LOL!
controlling food portions i find is one of the most important things to losing weight in a diet. i ate many small meals (snacks?) in a day instead of big ones.
one tip is drink a cup of water half an hour before you eat that way u eat less!!! i have trouble when going out an eating but my trainer told me that eat half of the plate then safe the rest for your next meal of the next day! most important always have veggies with your food! i am so excited to start doing the same hofefully we can get health!!!=] u inspired me to work out more an eat better thanks i think i need to see this video an think its ok to not be skinny but its better to be healthy
wow we are very similiarly shaped! the height the boobs :) & all, but I am quite a bit heavier ... but wow i am encouraged! :) & want to do this with you, um as much as I am physically able to but i can def make better choices & do thinkgs like walking its just my arms i have trouble as far as my pain stuff, but eyah, :) anyhow I think its great to have people to kind of hold each other accountable and to encourage one another that will make things a bit easier.& i do have few tips i can share
You have beautiful legs. I have a VERY similar body style to yours, I am just 5'6''. I carry weight around my mid sections, but have decent legs. You are so brave for sharing and showing your body to the world! I commend you! :) You are beautiful!
So happy you're sharing this with us! I'm joining you.....I started my lifestyle change in Feb. when I decided to start exercising. I am now power walking 5 mi. or doing dance aerobics 5x a week. Whether I pwr. walk or do aerobics it's for 1 hr. so I really feel like I've become dedicated to that but...but...but...I still struggle on the eating part and my nutritionist told me it's time to start strength training so it will encourage me to see you. Here's too our health!! Good luck!
good luck and good for you! like you said, it's all portion control..but for a low-calorie snack you should try healthypop kettlecorn (its only a 100 cals) and jello mouse temptations. there are a lot of great workouts in seventeen magazine!
Good luck girl!! I'm right there with you!!! I'm a little taller than u but I need to lose the rest of my weight after three kids!! I'm totally not where I need to be!!
And you look great!!! My boobies are big too! One good thing is when we lose a little, it does make these things easier to carry around!!! Lmbo!
Good for you, I am on the same journey. Wanting to get healthy, not just look cute and skinny. I love watching Dr. Oz segments, he really has some great advice. Especially about belly fat. I have probably the exact body as you, only I am 5ft 8in. I gain my weight in the same places. It is great that you have the courage to share your weight loss journey.
I learned from someone that Junior sizes are odd numbers so 13 is a junior size. Since you are an adult you should wear even number clothes that are made for an adult and an adult body even if you are shorter. Just thought you should know
@EstherofSuza I also just wanted to add you are so good at documenting things, it would be great to see some photos once and a while of some of your favorite meals that you consider delicious and nutritious! Im about the same size/high as you and I am also trying to do the lifestyle change vs DIET DIET DIET. :)

I know you said you're not concentrating on dieting... that it's more of a life style change.. but I am 5' 8" and weigh 241.5 pounds, so I do have a lot of weight to lose. I topped out at 256, and I lost 20 pounds and then gained back 5.5 pounds. I wish us luck!

Don't believe the low-fat , all the fruits, veggies, and whole grain diets pushed on us the last 30 years. We are exercising more and are heavier and less healthy than ever. Try the moderate exercise, higher protein and lower carb lifestyles. You need healthy fats to feel satisfied longer and protein is needed for muscle. I look forward to watching your healthy journey. And can't wait to see you score some new thrift store clothes!!

Good for you. I have started cutting down my portions. I eat what I want except not as much as I before and I try to eat more healthy tough. I am also going to start using my treadmill.
Good luck!

Watching your videos always makes me feel really optomistic and good about myself. I've struggled with my weight most of my life (even after loosing 50+ lbs by changing my lifestyles I still have to work hard to keep on track). And I have similar acne scaring as you.
I think you are absolutely stunning, inside and out!

:) I have already embarked on this journey at the start of this year. have not actually changed my eating habits much, only subtle gradual changes and because it has been gradual I am quite happy with the way I'm eating now. it feels great and I still get the satiation. don't get me wrong i still love my food :)
I took part in a triathlon which started my fitness routine, I swim 2ks and play badminton frequently :) good luck :)!! looking forward to your progress vids.

If you switch the meat in your meals every so often for vegetarian options, they are more healthy and contain less saturated fat. just a tip. i might join you in this too btw. good luck regardless x

I made the same decision a month ago. I started great for two weeks or something. Not much changed looking at my body, but I felt healthier since I was working out every other day. But then I went through a major dip in my relationship I kind of let go and didn't follow through... Well, I will pick up were I left it and follow your lead. Thank you so much for your honesty!

You are AWESOME!!! I'm about to start my walking today. You're right don't concentrate on weight lost, being healthy is waaaaaaay more important. I've lost weight over the last three months but I'm still not healthy. Drink LOTS of water, eat fruit, (raw) veggies, and ALL the things you love in moderation. Strenuous exercise is not the way to go, however intentional exercise is. Good luck.

I have been working out for 19 years and still ware size 4 women's. Your weight really doesn't matter it is just a number. I alternate between hiking and weight training and I recently bought a home gym used from my local craig’s list at a very good price. After paying many years of bally membership this home gym has been one of the best investment of my life. Good luck to you!

you're so brave to have done this video! i laughed when you said dd boobies in the beginning, i didn't expect that LOL!
controlling food portions i find is one of the most important things to losing weight in a diet. i ate many small meals (snacks?) in a day instead of big ones.
hushQuiet 1 year ago
one tip is drink a cup of water half an hour before you eat that way u eat less!!! i have trouble when going out an eating but my trainer told me that eat half of the plate then safe the rest for your next meal of the next day! most important always have veggies with your food! i am so excited to start doing the same hofefully we can get health!!!=] u inspired me to work out more an eat better thanks i think i need to see this video an think its ok to not be skinny but its better to be healthy

Whether I pwr. walk or do aerobics it's for 1 hr. so I really feel like I've become dedicated to that but...but...but...I still struggle on the eating part and my nutritionist told me it's time to start strength training so it will encourage me to see you.

Good for you, I am on the same journey. Wanting to get healthy, not just look cute and skinny. I love watching Dr. Oz segments, he really has some great advice. Especially about belly fat.

I learned from someone that Junior sizes are odd numbers so 13 is a junior size. Since you are an adult you should wear even number clothes that are made for an adult and an adult body even if you are shorter. Just thought you should know
