[abhishekh14]

yaya im from australia so this will make it easier :)

[simplystrick]

the good ole days

[EastTNChick]

Shanti, have you looked at your videos from December? I don't care what your scale said this last time, but you definitely did NOT put yourself back to the actual weight you were in Dec. The difference in your face from this video until weigh in #44 is amazing. Keep it up! One of these days I'll start blogging. I started Jan at 177....today = 164.6. wohoo! :) I *really* needed some motivation to get healthy again and your videos did it for me. You just keep doing what you're doing!

[antishay]

Thank you so much for this comment! <33

[sophiexkisses]

I cant believe how much you travel!

I'm from England so I only really have Scotland Wales and Ireland as countries to travel to without paying for flights!! America seems such a strange place lol! I mean that in good way tho .. Just alien to me.

I have only been once, I did a week of skiing at lake Tahoe in California/Nevada that was fab! I also went to San Fran Cisco to visit Alcatraz which was pretty cool although the weather there was just like England .RAIN!

Have you been to England?

[antishay]

I am big on traveling... so I budget and save for it as a priority :D

I have only been to the London-Heathrow airport :P I want to go so badly!! I will go someday, hopefully soon.

[weightywonderwoman]

OMG Thank you so much for the shout out. I so want to strangle my Internet SP for taking me off line for a month. I have seen being making videos though. I am putting them up tonight!!!

[antishay]

You're welcome!! :D Sorry you've been without internet... I would absolutely DIE without it. OMG.

Thanks for making sense of all of that nonsense Shanti <3 <3

[antishay]

HHAhahahhha yes, you are. We lemmings just try to get in.

<3

[ampkg]

shanti how do u work out how much u have lost?

[crossinblindfolded]

Hi, I've watched a couple of your videos on your weight loss! I just subscription. I really wish you luck with all it, I'm going to try soon. And great video :D

[antishay]

Thank you :)

[waterchicklet]

I think what you said about the in-crowd is extremely relevant. I appreciate it. :)

[antishay]

Thanks :D

[bluelove33]

I started watching your videos a few weeks ago, and I am truly inspired! I gave up my caffeine dependency and started drinking green tea in the morning which was never an option for me. I was always one of those people that HAD to have 2 cups of strong coffee before 9:00am. I'm on a weight loss journey as well and this time I'm inspired to make small changes for health so that I incorporate them in to every day life...your videos are helping me a lot with that goal! Thank you!

[antishay]

Thank you for the comment! I'm so happy that you're making small changes :D

Green tea is caffeinated... or do you buy the decaf?

Good luck! Keep in touch :D

[bluelove33]

I know green tea has caffeine...but my goal was to give myself the ability to pass on the coffee (it makes me crave sweets) and drink something far healthier. It's interesting how the body assimilates the caffeine from tea as opposed to how it does from coffee. It gives me the boost in the morning...with out turing me into a donut craving bitch!!! Sounds crazy...but all to be healthier!!

[antishay]

Hahaha, sounds like a plan. You just said you'd given up caffeine so I thought I'd ask if you knew that it was caffeinated ;)

I drink green tea now instead of anything else (well, sometimes I have oolong) and I love it.

[steamedguy]

Whats going on with the hair Shanti lol?? Congrats on all the Exercise. Thanks for the SHORT video :D:D:D see you in 13 days!!!!

[antishay]

Um, I don't know?

OMG 13 Days!!!!!

[vickyaglou]

thanks for the info. you are a great inspiration for me and for lots of people. `

gracias :)

[antishay]

You're welcome :D I hope you keep it up!

[vickyaglou]

please can you tell us which was your initial weight , which is you current weight, and which is you goal weight?

[antishay]

That can all be found on my channel page, always. I started at 218.3, I am 175.6 at last weigh in, and I want to be 160. My "dream/someday" goal is 145-150.

:)

[LauraLee17]

but i'm not cool enough to hang out with you :-P i mentioned you in one of my blogs this week

[antishay]

Yes you are!

:P

Thanks :D I'll have to check it out.

[rushedartist]

all great people!

[antishay]

V. true! :D

[deslour23]

You're lovely I'm so glad I've found your vids! And you're so cute about the "popular" people on youtube it's a great community!

[antishay]

Thank you for watching and commenting :D

<3!

[antishay]

Yay!

[racegurl29]

you are doing soo good...great pr's (personal records) lately. It is good to see that you don't beat yourself up for the gain...refreshing!

[antishay]

Thanks! I try not to be too hard on myself... Namaste is already too hard on me in the gym! lol no really, I just try not to take it all so seriously.

Thanks for the comment!

[clockworkalex20]

You look gorgeous!

[antishay]

Thank you :D

[lisabgreen512]

AntiShay-I'm so glad that you aren't letting this little gain upset you. That it is going to happen and to not let it take over your life. I'm on WW and since lost total:38lbs. But have had Gains throughout the year. Hey-its better to keep at it then just quit right? You can see on my videos me and my whole family lose weight.anywho- hope you beat Jason for that Bet in December. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on YouTube! I know what you mean by being out of the IN crowd. Thank you!LisaBGreen

[antishay]

Exactly. AND - I mean, when I look at my WL graph, it's all over the place! But it's down in the end, so that's fine :D

Thanks! LOL I hope to beat him too!

Hope you join us in Stickam some day :)

[blueeyedbetty]

You are so right about weight loss being fun!!

I would never have believed that I could enjoy the experience so much!

<33333333

[antishay]

HAhahaha I know, right?! :D

Love you!

[simplystrick]

you are the BESTEST!!!!

[antishay]

The feeling is mutual :)

(!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

[melrio9785]

i'm worthy?...sweet, lol.

[antishay]

But of COURSE!

:)

[PhatDancer23]

If you guys dont know how to convert kilo's to lbs...just take whatever she says in kilo's and times it by 2.2. I think I just showed my dorky side a bit. Oh well! :)

[antishay]

Well lol *I* certainly know how to convert Lbs to Kilos or vice versa. BUT... you would not believe the number of messages I get EVERY DAY from someone asking me "how much do you weigh in kilos??!!?!1"

I hate those questions. GOOGLE IT!

:)

[paul20072007]

Could pre-menstrual water retention account for 1.9 pounds? Interesting take on YT in crowds. One wonders if there aren't dozens of such crowds all moving in different circles!

[antishay]

It's possible :) That plus added muscle could be it. Rather than speculate for hours, though, like I used to do in my old videos... at this point I just shrug :D lol

It'll come off. Thanks for the comment!!

[DynaChik]

So does that mean I'm cool? lol :D

Stickam is sooo much fun!

[antishay]

Of COURSE you are cool. At least, ever since you were a robot ;) lol <3!

Stickam is the best. Except for when it BOOTS ME 345987345 times like last night!! *cries*

[DynaChik]

Yay! :D

[junkinthetrunkk]

Ahh YES!! Love this video talkin about the "in crowd!" yes! you are awsome!!! <3

[antishay]

Yay thank you!! <3

[WWBraveNewGirl]

I am glad you're not freaking out over the gain. That is so hard for me NOT to do. Glad that you're cool about it. Good job with the running sweetie, that's awesome. Vince is the chet! I love my cookie monster (what I call him). I also love me some Weight Wonder Woman too, her accent is adorable. Oh man, ROB!!!!!

[antishay]

Haha thanks - yeah, I try not to get too worried. I should make a video about this... but when I look at my full weight-loss graph, it's ALL over the place, up and down the whole time... but in the end I've lost all this weight! So when it goes up I just try to shrug and know that it will go down again.

I know you call him that - I saw your video ;)

ROB!!!! indeed

[simplystrick]

cry @ 4:30...you are the greatest!!!

[antishay]

Ohhh! Thx :D

[vedderbebetter]

sounds like all that working out is making you gain muscle. Muscle weighs more than fat sooooo maybe you're still technically "losing weight". congrats!

[antishay]

This is very possible. It could also just be all the extra food in my system from eating so much over the extended weekend.

[flabalicious]

AW A REC! Be still my heart. Thank you for that. So so much.

And this made me miss shrinking woman! :/ Also makes me feel bad this struggle has been since January. But you know what?! It was awesome to hear: IS BACK. :)

[antishay]

You're welcome. I hope you keep it up!

I miss her too - don't know where she's been or what she's been up too. Hmmm.

[swtprpgrl32]

Don't worry about that small gain. You are doing great! Don't apologize about all the videos, I love watching them. I def need to sign up for stickam. Thx for linking me:)

[antishay]

Thank you :) I'm glad you like all the videos, lol.

[allalone4tolong]

Ello me name Dagmar-Emilia (now be Danielle-Emily in America) Be 14 year age i am over weigh, not vry much, but attempting to loose weigh because you videos many insporation to me and my life. I decide to change, want to be no over weight My 'parents' no aware me need loose weight so all I be do is run in place for many minutes at times many crounch me do stomach very in pain, I need advice from you pleas am to young to be buy own food.

TY for time och reply and for posting insoprtion videoz

[antishay]

Hi Dagmar-Emilia! Thank you for your message - I am so happy that my videos can inspire you!

Have you tried jumping jacks? They are very good and you can do them in place :)

[allalone4tolong]

how many those you think do in each day? I try do what you do and keep journal weight and record each of week

[antishay]

I think you should do exercise for 30 minutes/day... so if you combine that with running in place and push-ups and sit-ups, it should be 30 minutes total.

I don't know how many jumping jacks that would be.

[allalone4tolong]

Thank you many much! Also it be true you weight more at night?

[antishay]

Yes, because when you eat food and drink water your body keeps it inside of you... and you are heavier at night.

I go to the bathroom in the morning to pee and then weigh myself :)

You're welcome!

[allalone4tolong]

okey (: Thank many much again

and thank many muches for the insporational videos you have make [:

[antishay]

<333 Keep in touch.

[want2loseit]

aww your so cute! i agree you get what you put in! i tried stickam but scared to talk lol but i will try again sometime!!!

[antishay]

Thank you :P

You must try again!

[kristine0002]

im sorry about the gain but i know you will be able to get right back on track! you've been doing so great shanti! you dont want jason to win now do you?? lol <3

[antishay]

Thank you :D

NO I DON'T!! Thank you for reminding me :D

[coquinat]

como stalle? (ends butchered Italian) It sounds like the stickam room is really picking up again! That' awesome, I can't wait to chat with everyone once school is over. Maintaining would still be a victory this time of year :D

[antishay]

HAHahhaha it's "come stai" but whatevers, that was possibly the cutest thing I've ever read! :D

I can't until you come in and join us! I hope to lose, but so long as I don't gain I'll be OK.

[vzballa]

ok three parts...lol, so its a hell of a tough month, and so maintaining will and should be a victory, there is always tomorrow, and you don't want to have to give up completely on holiday goodness...with that said, I am going to do my best to lose, and I know you will too...just keep killin it at the gym with your sister! You guys are awesome...Anyway, thanks again for the information about the in crowd feeling, and again for the rec..talk to you later!

[vzballa]

ok so two part comment....now thinking about the whole thing about the popular deal, its soo stupid, but I think its part of human nature to feel intimidated my people with a lot of status...I have to say I was in stickam the other nite and just sat there, I didn't participate, because of what you said you didn't want to impose...well I think that will change now, if I have time to go on stickam again...anyway, I think I agree with maintaining during this month, cuz it is just one hell of a

[geojoe79]

You look great Pound or no pound no big deal I look at it as sometimes a step back is what we need to make a huge step forward!

[antishay]

Thak you :D Yeah... well, I figure the week made me gain.. it's unlikely it's all fat.

[vzballa]

WOOOOHOOO!---best imitation of the Shanti Scream...hahaha...THANK YOU! I am glad you were able to get me in there this time...haha, naw your fine....I appreciate it, and am happy to be in a video of yours! I have to be honest, I feel pretty much exactly as you did when you started youtube, the whole "popular/in crowd" I felt like that, but now that you have put it in the open, I don't think I will anymore, but it is weird how people feel like that.."I'm not worthy!" ha, thats exactly what i felt

[antishay]

HAhahaha you're welcome :)

I'm glad you've been speaking up in Stickam now :D

[Abigale77]

I just wanted to ask what is your home business? I want to do something at home but there is so many scams....Help...lol..

[antishay]

My mom is a speech-language pathologist and educator and she is nearing retirement and is handing the business over to me over the next 10 years. I do accounting, marketing, design, book production and sales.

In my free time I also do freelance web/graphic design and writing.

The best way to start is small - as a SIDE job to your main one. No matter what you do, start small and eventually move into full-time. It took me a long time to be able to do this FT. :)

[theshrinkingnurse]

good video shanti! i agree with the whole 'in crowd' thing! i felt the same way when i started making videos.. you and adam were my freakin idols! not that you still aren't. it just that now i can talk to you and i am not intimidated :D

[antishay]

Oh, I'm so glad you agree :D

And OHHHH thank you!! <33

[ShrinkinPhotographer]

you soo crack me up could you be ANY cuter? LOL ~ Nicol

[antishay]

LOL thank you :)
