Weight Loss 101 (Fighting the Flab)!!!

[ummsaalih09]

Hi I really love your videos they are great and this me allot. Have you tried any type of detox and would you recommend doing a detox?

[FamilyGuyBlast]

I hate my over weight!! I want to look good like people on this video. Also watch what fitness and weight expert got to say /watch?v=9QpzdK7wdYY

[LilKiss2009]

I just asked you about this from a more recent video. So, grateful that you posted this already. Thanks, I am currently undergoing my own weight loss journey (claiming second time is the charm). This time I am doing it the right way with proper nutrition and exercise, although I am kicking it off with a fast to break my addictions to food.

[janinecreates]

Congratulations on losing the weight, and staying so very toned. You look great!

[wowso4]

you look so beautiful am currently losing weight too your video is so inspirational thanks for the video so helpful too congrats on your weight loss and keeping it off well done .

[yogeshece99]

Hey there! Have you considered intellectus 424 diet (do a search on google)? Ive heard some incredible things about it and my cooworker lost a ton of weight with it

[hellokittycutie2003]

I've learned patience is the key to every damn thing lol. Rushed results never last for long. That's why I've decided to do a lifestyle change, instead of eliminating any and everything simply to get quick results. Plus, I want to avoid the loose skin. I have HUGE arms, so I mos def plan on weight lifting and resistance training to avoid the flabby arms. I want optimal health but also a great looking body lol.

[mizstarr1]

Compression suits work well also, Wear them while you sleep and while you workout.

[bubblyrn1266]

gotta love this lady!!!

[annetteosa]

Wow...dont know what to say...u are such an inspiration.

[annetteosa]

Wow...dont know what to say...u are such an inspiration.

[SParkApCider]

age and genetics~major factor in this

[MlleButterfly]

I love your series. Do you also have a blog?

[violetmet]

I am very impressed with your Weight Loss plan from start to finish. I like what you said about doing the research before you start your Weight Loss plan. Your information is very helpful. Thank you for your awesome tips.

[MrsSwanigan]

CONGRATULATIONS! Keep up the good work! I'm right behind you girl! I'm getting my gym membership within the next few days. I only have about 30 Ibs to lose though. Awwww... yeah I really think the tips you gave about drinking a lot of water throughout the day was priceless. :)

[Zaakiyah55]

@MissToni82 ask your doctor for advice - i'm sure he/she would love to help you get healthy :)

also - i heard the eliptical machine is low impact but im not sure so again - check with your doc <3

[Lwhit1231]

Hi I think you are beautiful. Congratulations on Ur weightloss. I think most of the reason why your skin snapped back is ur age.

[lyricalhealer]

This info is most useful! Thanks.

[JerseyGiryl]

I love ur confidence...keep up the great work! I went natural approx. 2 yrs ago so I'll have 2 check out ur other video's on natural hair. Have a happy holiday if u celebrate & a safe new year!

[ladycateyes]

LOVE IT

[naturallyfavored]

Thanks for this! I love your spirit!

[MrszRenaissance]

I don't mind loosing it faster because most likely I'll need surgery regardless ( I had a baby, so I have tons of stretchmarks all over, which I know doesn't happen to everyone who has a kid, but it happened to me).

Thanks for your tips!

[hellokittycutie2003]

@MrszRenaissance Not necessarily. Losing the weight slowly and toning with weights while losing weight can help your body bounce back into shape or into a shape you've never known. Also slowly losing weight helps to guarantee that it'll stay off. Lots of people have lost dramatic weight and had little to no loose skin because they did it properly. It'll even help your stretch marks if you tone the stomach. Plus, you could save yourself LOADS of money.

[la9777]

thank you,

[joprix2381]

I am a new subbie. I love your hair and your weightloss journey is truly amazing. I have lost about 75lbs so far. I have 65 more to go. so needless to say I do and will have a lot of extra skin!! It sucks but its reminder of what I did to my body. Keep up the awesome work!

[MsTara27]

brilliant advice....

[prec18]

Also, let's not forget GENETICS which plays a role in each person's skin elasticity. Example: some women give birth and lose the baby bump/belly flab in no time, sometimes a matter of a few short weeks and others will still have the stretched out skin that will never stretch back. Same with stretch marks-genetics plays a role.

[michellelife1]

how did you do that can you tell me how

[LillaBlueberry]

i wanna loose 17lbs, what so you think how long it will take ?

[lookoutforyoursoul]

@SimplySexyKay check my video out how to start to be healthy

[Kinkycurlycoil]

[87darkchocolate]

good vid,,..but did you develop any stretch marks? If so, what did you do about it...thanx.

[ChinaDoll1on1]

Great Job. You look so prety before and after..you look great. Thanks for the info.

[watcher2987]

Wow, well done, madamoiselle! You're obviously very smart. Just cut the video length down by 2/3, throw in some impressive sounding anatomical and physiological terms and graphics and you'll double your subscriber base. The strapless top was a great idea since it testifies to your accomplishment and draws in male viewers. Keep it up, and feel free to contact me for more ideas! (You have a lot of potential!)

[kbdory]

I rather lose my weight fast and have flab, then to lose it slow with no flab. I can deal with the flab, I just want this weight off now. I can tone down later on. Oh yea, be careful on drinking too much water, especially fluorinated wated.

[televatorlove]

@kbdory if you're losing weight but if you still have flab, what are you really losing? water weight?

[SeeBrandiiRun2010]

Just found your channel... well done!! thanks for sharing :))

[mrsprimo999]

2:40 "Contract" is the word you're looking for :o)

[RussiaNukesAmerica]

I lost 135 lbs. on a cruise last week. MY WIFE FELL OVERBOARD ! ( rimshot )

[totaljett]

@RussiaNukesAmerica LOL! "drum roll"

[jerktrucker]

everyone replaces all their skin about every 2 weeks.

[thisshitrighthereee]

this is great info but not completly fair, black people naturally have very firm/smooth skin and thats y they look so young lol no joke. and AWWW i thought she was naked! WHOA look at the bicep! man i should reply after i finish this video, pause at 7:54

[joshninny]

youre so pretty!

[Drydenfuchs]

hey everyone.. "Loose" = Opposite of tight. "Lose" = Opposite on gain or win.

[GreenEyesBrwnSkin]

You are sooooo beautiful! I have sooooo many goals in life from spiritual growth, getting physically healthy, and having HEALTHY NATURAL hair! Anywho....u are the one of the inspirations for me loosing weight and having healtyh natural hair and I thank u for making these videos!!!

[juanita384]

I have lost weight and a lot of people been saying I am not looking right. But I think I do and want to loose more for me not for everyone else. Does people say things to you like that.

[IHS7]

Great

[AmOuRShAnElL28]

yOu GiVe Me SuCh HoPe! thanks for ShArInG...

[bellejohnson]

omg! please help me inbox me if possible i need someone who has been there and done that.

[December0Blues]

oh and how often do you workout? how many times a week? and how long do your sessions last? thanks!

[December0Blues]

I wanted to ask you about your calorie intake. I remember you mentioning it in one of your videos how you figure out your calorie intake and deficit; I can't find that video. if you don't mind do you think you'll be able to respond with your strategy? or perhaps post the link to that video? please? thank you.

[cantsingalick]

This is such an important issue. I'm glad you talked about this.

[msteacher74]

please keep postig videos! you have been my inspiration! i've lost 12 lbs. in the last 3 week!

[curlynred]

Omg I am so proud of you. You are such an inspiration. When I recover from knee surgery I am going to restart my excercise program.

[67blackgirl]

Thank u 

[MalkiaNzinga]

LOL! Love the vid as usual! My war wounds are from the last trimester of pregnancy! I put on toooo much at the end. Should you have children dont over eat keep up activity throughout and after and enjoy the beautiful changes!

[trendsettingBrit]

Would you recommend lifting in the beginning of the weight-loss? I am doing cardio but I havent started lifting because of fear of getting bulky. FYI i've only lost about 8 lbs and have 90 more to go.

[StrawberriLust]

@trendsettingBrit Yes! you will lose the weight much faster. Try doing free weight exercises and cardio in 30 second intervals for about 30 minutes... you will burn sooo much and be drenched in sweat.

[trendsettingBrit]

@StrawberriLust Ok so this is my first time working out in life, so what do you mean by free weight exercises and cardio in 30 second intervals? Do weights for 30 secs then switch to cardio for 30 secs? Or combine them? If you are talking about combining them what are some example exercises? Thank you for replying ;0)

[StrawberriLust]

@trendsettingBrit Youre welcome.Yes thats what I mean Do weights for 30 seconds (moves such as lateral raises, bicep curls, and squats/lunges) and then switch to high intensity cardio (such as running in place, jumping jacks, and mountain climbers) And do this (perferably nonstop) for about 25-30 minutes

[trendsettingBrit]

@StrawberriLust Ok thanks! I can do this at home! Perfect ;0)

[deansk72]

You are an awesome speaker. l love the part where you said the repercussions of packing on the weight, and how you tied that in with "war wounds". So poetic!

[ladybuke]

Love this video was soo..much info in all your video

[KiinozWiifey1]

anyways, you look good girl!! keep it up!! you are SOOOOO inspiring!!

[missesscOx]

You look good mamas! Job well done!

[shany9988]

Great tips about slowing it down. Love your videos!!

[elizoli86]

she said her arms were a "nice size" LOL

[KiinozWiifey1]

@elizoli86 I think she meant a pretty big size.....

[elizoli86]

@KiinozWiifey1 I know... I just thought it was super funny the way she said it.

[nerocentric]

I love your weight loss videos, they're very inspirational. My favorite quote from you: "GO TO SLEEP!" LOL! I take this advice when experiencing late night cravings.

Thank you!

[mizzannie001]

@nerocentric i love when she said "go to sleep" too i was crackin up

[SJANELJ]

YOU ARE AMAZING! SUCH A BEAUTIFUL PERSON. THANKS FOR THE INFO.

[armywifeismylife]

thanks for discussing the arms...my arms are huge, and won't fit in the sleeves of some of my shirts. I have hope that I can lose them now :)

[brownshuga24]

YOU ARE SUCH AN INSPIRATION!

[kittybookitty]

i'm losing it slowly that's for sure. from 280 to 197 in a year and a half, but it hasn't been steady. I lose a little then stop. not purposely and that's what sucks.

[aderilus]

I Love you BeautifulBrwnBabydol.... I'm proud of you mama.... Keep doing your thing.

[almondbrwneyez]

What are your thoughts or feelings regarding Pilates or Yoga for toning? Have you tried either?

[naturaleducator]

@almondbrwneyez

Hi I've been doing yoga for the last two years and have seen great improvements in my toning. I haven't done Pilates since last year, and I rarely do cardio. But yoga has made such a difference. I'm just not crazy about the chanting though.

[sexycandy876]

Bless You!

[catchadream100]

Thank you so much for sharing your success

[glitterandglueforyou]

Nina, thank you, I'm so glad you made this video! There are tons of weightloss articles and tv shows that make it sound like dropping 5+ pounds a week is a piece of cake and that's what everyone should be doing. I'm looking at a 130 weightloss journey and at the end of the week, when I see that I've lost 1 or 2 pounds I feel discouraged; like I didn't work hard enough, so thank you for being honest and encouraging. When I watch your videos I feel like I can take my time and do this.

[tysmo00ve]

thanks,keep da vids coming, btw i voted again!

[Licklems83]

Nina you are definately on point with addressing all the pressing questions. You speak to me with these videos, calming my fears by arming me with awesome information I haven't had the time to gather myself. I appreciate you greatly!!!

[ltoomey82]

Thanks for sharing your tips have helped me out so much you have know idea girl!

[Zamanian]

That extra skin you have will come in handy when/if you get pregnant.

[vida130]

I am losing weight 1 to 2 pounds a week and now 4 months and 40 pounds later people think I took some magic pill which is crazy. I eat right and workout 6 days a week there is no magic to a lifestyle change. Great info

[kharyzma4u]

you look so focused in this video.  I admire all of your accomplishments. u r a true inspiration!! Thanks 4 all that u do!!

[youngbeauty8]

THANK FOR YOUR TIPS!!

[luvsbuffgurls]

Thanks for sharing, princess. You're so intelligent, well-spoken, and smart. I totally luv it. It's so sexi to see such a fine woman like yourself. Plus, you look totally gorgeous, shapely, nicely muscled, and fit. Love those muscular shapely arms, shoulders, traps, and even your collar bone upper chest area.

[757chaneal]

WOW I would have never thought that was you. You are like a totally different person. Congrats.!!!!

[greenizDAnublaque]

I have lost 26 lbs but, I have about 120 to go.... I swear all these years of not doing anything about it is because I didn't want sagging skin. I am 25yrs old now and I learned after 2 daughters (5yrs & 2yrs) , I need to stay positive and get in shape because they look up to me and tell me that I am beautiful EVERYDAY! I love them so much and I want for my babies to continue to be proud of me.

[biclvr]

You look so good. Amazing transformation. You neckline, shoulders and arms are amazing. Your biceps so nice andmay I say so very sexy.

I just wish you would flex your biceps some more ;-))

[160Days2Lose2]

Good info!

[sugawallz910]

My Zumba DVD's just came in,,, have you ever tried it?

[msalkapone09]

@sugawallz910 where did u order it from?? Do they let you pick the dvds u want or do u have to buy the set??

[sugawallz910]

@msalkapone09 I ordered mine off t.v, but you can also get it off the zumbia.com website. I was able to pick the DVD's I wanted in the packet and you get hand weights. I hope this helps.

[BxBornRetro]

@sugawallz910

IT IS SOOOOOOOO FUN!!!!

[sugawallz910]

@BxBornRetro Yes it is fun,, I joined a class until i realized I had 2 left feet. So I feel more comfortable doing it in my own home until I catch up with everyone else.lol

[AlejandraPrincess]

@sugawallz910 I just ordered mine yesterday. I'm so excited to get them.

[SuperDiva365]

[amrit240]

Thank you so much for your wisdom... :0)

[sexy2lvrn]

Great video! I never struggled with weight but trust me after my son I had a reality check..I had to change my thinking. 1)Dont' look for quick fix 2) change my eating(not starving urself) 3) exercise (baby steps) 4) join a weight loss community 5) make sure you colon is super healthy etc etc ...so you are so right inn this video..

[abbeymore1]

thanks a lot for this.

[soulsistahla]

Thanks for the tips....

[AfroTee]

I'm having this issue with my tummy skin after my 2nd child. I'm trying to tone as much as I can, drink lots of water and I moisturize my damp skin with shea butter. So far it's been helping. During my pregnancy I also made sure to moisturize my skin ALL OVER very well. People often just moisturize their arms and legs but you have other skin too people! LOL So I guess this goes for people planning to lose weight too. Moisturizing helped me a lot. THANKS for sharing this!

[AfroTee]

@AfroTee If anyone's interested there is an $80 cream called TrislasinSR, which is for stretch marks, but it also really helped with firming up my skin after my 1st baby (I don't use it now b/c I am nursing). It's expensive but it really worked.

[sexy2lvrn]

@AfroTee Thanx I have heard about it and read the reviews but I wasn't sure....def give it a try..thanx again!!!

[Naturallyhomegrown]

i think that flabby skin after Alot of weight loss is gentic. i also think that AGEEEE has alot to do with it. if ur younger ur skin will probably snap back alot faster. (dunno if u said that in the video) i think its great u lost so much weight. keep being healthy!

[greeneys19]
