I've been using unrefined shea butter and I think it's been helping (may be all in my head) Haha! But yeah - sharing is caring Rochelle! Hee hee...

  • Hi BlackOnyx77, i really appreciate your videos. You have inspired me to grow out my hair to see my natural curl without a press. Dnt stress about the haters, because u are absolutely fantabulous! Do u girl cuz when you have haters thats when you know ur doing something right. Im curious though, im sure you might have said it before but i might have missed it. What are you doing to get rid of you stress marks?

  • I am so with you - I really need to take better care of myself. I am home all day and it's so easy to fall into a rut with the baby in tow and a four-year old stalking my every move. This is so on time - I tried on a dress today that I haven't tried on since before I was pregnant last year - just a bit more to trim off the tummy and this is gonna be one HOT mama!

  • This summer I plan to be 22 pounds lighter, I have a few new outfits I bought last year for summer that I never got to wear because I didn't loose the weight. Darn it, I'm tired of this weight hindering me from looking my best. 170 now, goal 148.

  • Great video!!!! I'm starting today!!!

  • count me in

    i will add you

    great video

  • We have the same weight goals almost. I had gotten up to 200lbs last Summer, my all time high, I looked horrible. Today, I am at 32 lbs lost. The past few wks school has been getting stressful and my workouts have slowed, but thanks to your video I'm going to kick it back up before I get too far behind. I have 40 more lbs to lose before I hit my final goal!

  • I am joining your challenge Must look good when the warm comes this summer

  • Great vid!

  • I'm in...need to lose 35 pounds total but my goal for May 9 (Mother's day) is to lose 20 lbs...this will be my mother's day gift to myself. Will take starting pictures.

  • Can you tell us your stretch mark routine?

  • Count me in!!

  • I am so looking forward to seeing some changes. I have a lot i want to conquer but it is possible i know. Keep me posted on your regimen. I want that Banging body too. Holla.

  • I'm in I need to lose 20 pounds I was doing insanity and I only lost two pounds, but I got stronger so thats good I guess, I really just wanted to be lighter though. Dont listen to the negative stuff you are very successful, so who cares. Good luck!

  • I love this...

  • I'm starting this with you. I want to tone up my body overall and gain some strength. (Check out my video response.)

  • I am so in....I took a good look at my body and said man I've really let myself go I'm only 22 yrs old and I feel no where near sexy....I can't blame it on my now 3 yr old anymore so I really need to do this challenge

  • I'm going to do this with you, cuz i got to get my body right for my bday.  good luck to all!!!

  • im gonna give it ago!!

  • Yes ma'am,  I'm in.

  • I am in! Kickin up my workout and improving my eating habits. I will also be focusing on drinking 8-10 cups of water a day - that should help my skin a lot!

  • count me in!

  • I will totally be doing this challenge because I am that girl exactly the one who is running around doing everything for everybody and not taking time out for me. I have to get back all that I lost. Its time to get serious now, lets go!!!

  • I have been struggling with my weight forever and I've just recently lost 40 pounds. My weight loss as of late has been stagnant so I want to kick it up a notch. To meet my goal weight, I need to lose 30 pounds more. I know how you feel about taking care of yourself and being OVER losing weight. I'm in there with you girl, can't wait for you to post your plan, maybe it'll help me with mine!

  • I'm down. Funny you should have this vid. For the last 2 weeks or so I've been really doing up the styles with my locs instead of just rocking a pony tail or letting them hang. Then now I've stepped up my workouts because I'm heading to South Beach in 60 days. I haven't been for a few years and this chic I am now is NOT invited to Miami :)

  • I'm on board tone up /shape up the body.

    Get back in my hair routine.

    Keeping my nails done (myself)

    30 days & hopefully it becomes a habit.

    Let's get it ladies!

    -& love your earrings . . . hopefully can buy some this summer because I have nooooo money ! =(

  • I will accept your challenge. In the up coming 30 days I will be consider n thoughtful of myself. I will include exercise in my daily routine as well as making better food choices. It's on n cracking!!let's see what a difference a day can make! Good luck to all that accept the challenge. Remember a small change can produce a big impact later.

  • I'm in it to win it! Don't have a definite goal for weight loss but at least 10-15lbs. We can do it with a positive mind and follow through on our wants with action!

  • Great challenge! I am painting my nails right now!!

  • I reallllyyyy want to do this BUT (LOL) every time i say i'm gonna do something like this my body/MIND goes crazy.... I haven't thought about twinkies in years but watch... they will be irresistable all of a sudden! Never Fails! NOOOOO! I'm gonna do this. 30 days! I can do this. At the end I will be Stronger, Wiser and Better than I was at the begining and I can say I MADE IT by FAITH!

  • Teeth whitening is a good idea for me...not that my teeth are yellow but I smile A LOT..lol so i really need to keep them pretty white and healthy....good luck to u!

  • I'M IN!

  • I feel you gurl!! I'm gonna be pushing myself too!!!

  • I'm in for the challenge. I was just thinking yesterday all the things you said in the video. I'm tired of struggling with weight and neglecting it. I will start today as well. Good luck!! :)

  • Count me in but maybe starting Tuesday. I was in work-out mode 1 week before my wedding and since that's all over now, I have been pigging out. Now it's time to see if I can do this for me and not the dress motivation.

  • Hey Blackonyx. As regarding advertising your products/business, keep doing what you doing. I guarantee you that the haters who have complained, a) don't have a business of their own and b) don't plan on supporting your business anyway. So you just keep on doing what you been doing and let them get off your channel and take their a--es to Walmart like they been doing.

  • I was wanting to do the same thing (while eating a packet of chips...chop chop ! lol). I've been craving so much junk lately and my skin is absolutely crying out for me to stop! So I'm going back to kickboxing, healthy eating and a strict skin care routine. I will post a vid of my progress and some of the regimes I will be using. Good luck everyone.

  • "You've got to do you"!!! People need to move on to another vid if they don't like what you are doing or how you are doing it. Keep ur head up!

    I'm with you on the challenge!!

    All the haters... get some counseling & a hug :o)

    BTW Love your husband's song.

  • This vid is totally inspiring. I really need to tone up my arms and work on my skin regimen. Thanks for posting!

  • Hey I'm So on this Thanks BlackOnyx I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS YOU HAVE HELP ME OUT A LOT and I WANT TO THANK YOU.....Ya Im On it 20lbs in 30days

  • yeah im def gonna do this cause i was planning on doing it anyway! im gonna do a vid saying what my routine will be. Can't Wait! Good luck!

  • what stretch mark product do you use that works? I am challenging myself as well because my boyfriend and I are goin on our 1st cruise in May and lol I dont want him lookin at anyone but me. But Im also doing it for me! Thanks for the vid

  • I sooo love your honesty! All the best to you on reaching your goals!

  • I was just saying the exact same thing to myself so yes!!! I accept your challenge and screw all those haters you are so fab!!!!

  • Im with you girl this is exactly how Ive been feeling for some time, its time for a TOTAL change!
