Excellent video. How to eat on the go is a real challenge for a lot of people. I'm just careful with my choices or, I pack a proper lunch so I'm not stuck with unwise choices. Best of success to you with your weight loss challenge.
For me I was never a Fast Food person, so food has cost me more. I now shop at Farmers Market and more specialty stores, but definitely healthier. I agree with you I have to prepare my food ahead a time. Good luck to you!
I don't agree with you. Yes, the cost of good food can add up. However if you do a cost analysis, you might notice that people who buy junk/fast food are spending much more money and have a lot more in the shopping basket. This isn't the only thing to think about. For those interested in "bang for their buck", spending money on healthy food is far more economical, if you are interested in being the BEST YOU that you can be. Congratulations for your success! I just don't buy into your commercial.
Wow, you are looking good! Keep it up your videos are funny I love to watch each week. They make me smile knowing I am not alone in this weightloss battle.
Wow, u are doing GREAT!!!, I just hope I can do as great as you...thought I dont have the money to join anything but thats the only thing holding me back...
Your doing great! I'm so happy for you. I loved your photos. They really showed how far you've come. You are very inspiring and I bet you feel fantastic, You certainly look it! Thanks for sharing your story with us.
ps: you do have beautiful eyes & your personality shines through your videos.
congrats!! you look so awesome!! 70+ pounds is amazing, I'd like to lose about 30 lbs too! I dont even really think you need to lose much more (if any).
Amen to that! It seems like our money is disappearing since trying to eat healthy. I (Patrick) do miss my $1 double cheeseburgers, haha. Keep it up, let's do this together!
you're awesome ... I wish you lived next to me so we can do this together ... always good to have a committed partner like yourself !!! good luck to you and much success ...
congratulation. i've lost 20 pounds and now i'm stuck! i should eat more..lol. coz i eat once or twice a day..which is wrong.. i should eat 4 small meals a day and exercise every morning at least. but wow, congratulations girl.
WOW! YOU GO GIRL!!! I am so proud of you! But, however, I must say, that even though you were 262, you were still gorgeous! And now! WOW~ thank you so much for posting this video! I almost cried when the end came on!I love that song!! And it goes perfect with your video!!! Thanks for being a inspiration!
74 pounds! Wow go you! I lost just over 20 pounds but now my weight is starting to go in the opposite direction to what I want. Its tough getting started!
I agree with the making a plan thing, I think I'm going to start making a to-do list each day. Nights are the hardest for me, I can't stop eating!
You are doing so well! You are just beautiful. I agree that eating healthier foods is so much more expensive than eating junk. It is worth it, not only in being able to lose weight, but in feeling better to. Keep up the good work!
Awesome job once again, Shannon! I agree that it's more expensive to eat healthy. Last year I decided to do a detox and ate nothing but fruit and veggies for a few days...it cost so much just to buy it! Even when you go out to eat or something, the healthier options or "weight watchers" menu is pretty expensive for what you get in my opinion. Don't you love how they make money off of those who are trying to have a healthier lifestyle?
It can be expensive eating healthy compared to eating junk, but there are ways to minimized; buying bulk from warehouse stores saves me tons of money.
Also, being healthy can reduce your risks of medical complications and in the long run reduce your lifetime medical bills.
WOW! 74 pounds? You are ROCKIN! I do have to say one thing though... about the boob jar... Big boobs are OVER-Rated!!! You are gorgeous and going to look like a super model when you get done so dont worry about the boob fund! Put that money to better use!
And please keep sharing your vids with me! Keep Kickin ass girl!!! ;)
Thanks! I have always had big boobs and I love them LOL but sadly I have prepared myself for them to go away. ....which I'm okay with as long as I pump them back up after I get to my goal weight ;)
I agree with you. I do spend extra money on healthy foods. In fact, my husband has kind of complained about it. He understands, but it really is more money.
I saw that you subscribed to me, so i checked out your channel. I LOVE your videos. You are doing so well and have so many good things coming to you. I look forward to the next video :)
Loved the video! Healthy food CAN be more expensive, but it doesn't have to be. Farmers Markets are awesome, buy in bulk if you know you'll use it, try new foods that are on sale - healthy of course! I loved the end especially I never knew how far you had come. You Look absolutely beautiful.
Thank you so much, I still have quite a bit to go but I feel like I am finally digging out of all of the fat and can be myself again! Thanks for the tips on the farmers markets we actually have some fairly close to where Im at! I will hit those up! Thanks for the support I really appreciate it more than you know!
Yes it is. I hate how healthy foods are fucking expensive, yet our country is freaking out about our obesity epidemic. Ass nine retarded, right?? Omg, I need a jar like that!! Lol. Congrats on the weight loss. I always keep healthy snacks in my tote bag, like nuts, low cal granola bars, water bottles, and bags of fruit and veggie snacks.
I went to Knott's last weekend and honestly I had a bite of my mom's churro...it wasn't that satisfying. I was like where are the apples and bananas????
LOL damn Satan snacks I tell ya! I saw people walking by me with those huge ass turkey legs in one hand and a churro in another and I was like wow! people eat a fricken LOT! It was actually kind of sickening!
It grossed me out to see overweight people over eating. For lunch at Knotts I had a fresh fruit bowl and my mom and I shared a taquito meal. I had 2 taquitos and so did she. I also had water and ate some of my mom's salad. So yeah, like the "goodies" they had at the park did not make me want any.
JUST REMEMBER PEOPLE, NOTHiNG TASTES AS GOOD AS BEiNG THiN && HEALTHY FEELS!
I couldn't agree with you more Shannon! Now when I go shopping, seldom am I looking at how much things are, because I know (an prob the manufacturer too :P) that I am going to to need to buy the healthier option no matter what.. and usually it isn't the better buy. Oh well, it is saving me my health in the long run right :)
Awesome video Shannon - as always. You're awesome...very inspirational that you are doing this on your own! I actually found it much cheaper to do this on my own, but I'll explain why in my video! But I can totally see where you are coming from!! I do the same thing with my scale...make my own individual servings...IT'S A MUST!
wow I am actually impressed by your honesty in that it is more costly to purchase healthy foods. I myself have often strayed from my diet because it is cheaper. Looking good friend. Keep up the great work.
