@katymification Be sure to check out my progress on my new channel 4UsNaturals. I started P90X in September. I had a little setback in December and haven't posted my final results yet but I am doing good and looking good.
@taneshiawalton09 Thank you so much. It is almost there but my weight is teeter tottering between 116 and 118 right now. Very stressful. Trying to get to 113-115.
chicoro has some great advice, try it. Best Blessings for your plan of action. Wishing you the best. I am working on me too I hope I can come up with a continuing plan as you have. Thanks for this video
Thank you lilchez! You are an inspiration and very motivating. Sometimes we are in denial and won't even look at ourselves as we really are. You truly opened my eyes. I have decided to cut out 'meat' for 7 days. I am on day 3 and I notice that I sleep better (6 hours instead of 2-4), I do not go to bed feeling bloated, I wake up full of energy and I am excited girl. Thank you...thank you...thank you!
@bnxample Oh what a good experiment. I bet you cut down on toxins and definitely on hormones for the week. Good for you! Thanks so much for allowing me to inspire. I will have to try that for a huge amount of time.
Firm hugs girl. I feel totally humbled watching this video, i couldn't do that! Sorry about your issues but to share them with us and not just help yourself but try to help any of us out here who keep confidential about similar health issues is worth such a high honour, you are a credit to YouTube and to cellulite sufferers. But ur figure looks fab in a bikini so u can smile about that, come on! I wish u the very best of luck with your plans, bless ya X
@sweetcherrycrumble Aw thank you. My bf was like wth. He thought I was gonna get a whole lot of male viewers who wanted to perv out but I told him don't nobody wanna watch no woman with that nasty crap on their legs. Lol. I certainly hope that I AM able to help myself and others as well. Thanks for the commendations.
also look into colon cleanses and food sensitivities can also be a reason for a bloated stomach. Foods like wheat and dairy can cause havoc on the stomach.
i have the same issue as you, research the raw food diet or going vegan. Im on a journey as well, check out my channel, we can share tips!! I am happy i found your video.
@istofal Chicoro told me about eating raw and how it could delete my cellulite. I don't think I could ever do that though. It seems like to big of a change and also yucky. Lol. I was just on your page and thanked you. I will go back and sub back so we can stay abreast of each others progress.
Continued...and trampoline jumping .....and.that thing just exploded.I came in from a walk pulled off my tee shirt and felt something wet on my back..I said "Thank You Jesus"...It felt so good to get some relief.I was walking around with that thing for a month.I knew what it was...I knew I created it.I thought a urgent care doc would just stick a pin in it .....but "NOT!!!".They wanted to take me through many changes...expensive changes...I'm not a big fan of conventional healthcare.
@lilchez1.....As soon as you can start walking again that would be good... I had one of those nasty cyst on my upper back about three yrs ago.It was so big and so painful ...full of lymph fluid.I went to urgent care and they were cluess....that's a whole another story. I was eating my fair share of fats and oils and not moving my lymph system so I wasn't suprised that i had developed another one.(#5) between my back and armpits.So anyway after a three nights of brisk walking
@Angelicalovessolur You're not gonna believe this bs but I just made a vid yesterday and mentioned that I had a lil lump under arm pit again. It's started hurting now. First off its stinks. I can smell the toxins in it and it grew. It is getting bigger and my bf said it was oozing some stuff. I know what I did to bust the last one but can't do it because I have to work tonight and tomorrow is my birthday so I might let it ride but I'm made disgusted and need to clean my lymph system pronto.
i have had this horrible experience but I started running, and I brought a product from Nivea, and it does fine, but I am satisfied as my progression looks, I have 3 kids so since I run and exercise a lot, it has helped me a lot
@yrkt27 I started buying cellulite lotions & I felt better. I don't know if it was the lotion or me eating less that made it seem better some time. The problem for me now is all the things I have been reading about the beauty industry and the poison in our products. I couldn't imagine what would be in cellulite lotion that could melt fat but it seems like they might be experimenting with us again. I will def try the running but I suck at running. It makes my chest hurt but I'll get over it. Lol.
@lilchez1 I gradually worked myself into it, I use a couch to 5k app from my ipod it tells u 2 run for so long and walk, it is a 30 min workout, I started in January, I now am using a Bridge to 10k app you can also find something like it on an android phone. I have been in a few 5k races since January and I am in 1 this month plus an 8k. I promise you will love running, and it does tansform your body, i train 3x's a week, you will see a big difference, it just takes you 2 train your body
@yrkt27 Wow. You are truly inspirational. I am starting to feel like I can do it. Lol. I always feel that way before the chest burning though. I don't have either of those phones but I can find workouts all over so its no excuse. I am getting some things together. I always wanted to run a marathon for AIDS and/or BREAST CANCER. Hopefully with some training.
your not alone. im 24 and my body has had the same issues.. plus i got strech marsk to deal with too. so i would like to take the journey with u. keep posting!!!
Walking and jumping on a trampoline are excellent ways to move and cleasnse the lymph system.You can find a mini trampoline for $99. I hope this helps .Peace and Love. Celeste
@Angelicalovessolur Well my bf started walking me to death but would you believe I stopped exercising so that I could retain my cellulite for this video? Lol. I know I'm ridiculous but I needed it to be seen or people wouldn't have paid attention to the video as much. I've only gone to gym once since vid and got REALLY sick. I think from the cold supermarket afterwards with my wet skin. My ff thinks its from people at the gym. Either way I am gonna be starting all the things I have in store soon
@Angelicalovessolur Lol @ the trampoline. I live in a studio apartment but it would be funny for me to jam one in there jumping on it all the time. They would think I was crazy.
@lilchez1 Hey girl I've experience some horrible candida die off reactions over the years,but on the 80/10/10 diet I had very mild die off reactions. According to Dr.Graham yeasts doesn't have a long life span but if you keep feeding the yeasts it will continue to grow.Yeah.....Yeasts die off symptoms are a mother..... alot people give up on fighting candida because of the die off. Checking out "Dry Skin Brushing" for lymph system cleaning.Yerba Prima makes a good brush($10)...
Thanks for sharing your story and journey. So many women deal with and try to conceal this problem, but it is an issue for so many of us. I look forward to seeing the upcoming related videos.
@traveladysc They say 80-90% of women may have them but new studies suggest that all women have it. It just isn't visible. It is your fat and everybody has some fat. It doesn't become a problem to any of us until it starts to bulge. Thank you for watching and following along on my voyage.
hectic but I noticed remarkable results. I also was doing side leg lifts with wieghts. OMGee once I get my cam I will do a response. I have some excercise tips that may help on ur journey. I hv found that people like us that arent too far from target have more difficulty because we have less to lose so results dont happen as quickly as someone with a lot to lose. So dont get discouraged. I plan to motivate you and I hope u will do the same yt sis. B Blessed
@lenachad123 Please do make a response video. I could always stand to check out new exercises although I am pretty sure I know what you are talking about. I think the same thing. I wrote in in an earlier comment that it can be hard for people who aren't obese to lose weight. Have you ever tried to lose 5 lbs? Ugh. Its murder. I walked around a track with a big friend and she could barely walk. She lost a few pounds. I ran around a lot of times and NOTHING happened. Not even with 3 hours exercise
Beautiful spirit. I want to personally thank you for sharing. I think that your journey will be successful because you seem to be in pretty good shape. I have cellulite in the same areas and I intend to follow your channel. I have been doing squats(bending at the knee as if I am about to sit down while on my tippy toes holdong for two seconds and then standin up straight still on my tippy's and squeeezing my glutes and I have toned up really nicely. Ive slacked off the last 3wks cuz scoo is
Oh my! We have the SAME body shape! I too am struggling with the cellulite on my thighs, the saddle bags, and the belly fat (from pregnancy). I have heard about toxins being trapped within the fat cells and was thinking about doing the Master Cleanse (the Lemonade Diet) to help kick off my healthy journey. It is hard to get back into shape but not impossible. Just take dedication, effort, and consistency. I will be following your journey with you! Thanks for sharing!
@BEadifullyYOUnique Girl you took the words right out of my mouth. I just bought 40lbs of lemon and the video is coming up to get others involved. Lol.
@lilchez1 Definitely keep me updated because I would like to do this with you! :) I actually did a trial drink of the lemonade recipe and it is actually really good even with the spicy cayenne pepper.
@BEadifullyYOUnique I think I will wait until after Cinco de Mayo. Its my birthday and I don't want to be fasting on my bday. I've been drinking lemonade everyday though. Got so many lemons. Lol.
I admire you for being so brave and showing us what your working on and being so informed about your condition and willing to adjust your lifestyle for a healthier you!!!
I just wanted to say that I think you are a very brave,helpful, and encouraging person! thanks for sharing with us your journey and all this great information! Congrats on being sober! Your testimony is powerful and is/will help so many :)
i wonder if fibroid tumors have anything to do with drinking , my mom is and has been an alcoholic since before i was born (im 25) and she also has fibroid tumors. i remember you saying you have been sober for 2 years
@workit718 Not sure about that but you should know that fibroids are far more common in African American women than any other race. We are 3 times more likely to have them than white women. I am coming up on some theories for it but since it probably runs in your family you may wind up getting them as well. Mine make me bleed so heavy I lose enough blood to be highly anemic. Alcohol is toxic though and it could be a contributor but race is a huge factor for us.
Girl you still look good, but I think you're lucky because you caught your journey to getting overweight at the BEGINNING of the process. A lot of us don't notice till much later. Fortunately, your fat's in the pear area. My weight gain also centralizes in that area, but also my breasts, and I have similar cellulite. Never realized it was toxins. I've had ultrasounds and a catscan and there are no fibroids. It is simply fat, which is a better diagnoses than fibroids/tumors. Thanks for sharing.
@lashandar Lucky they were able to rule out fibroids. The percentage of Black (and other minority) women that have them is astronomical. I am going down fighting. I need to have a baby. When I was pregnant years ago I had pain so they did an ultrasound and the picture that I saw I thought was my baby. The nurse let the doctor tell me. I was pregnant in my fallopian tubes and the large mass in my uterus was a fibroid. I was told not to worry because its so common. Hysterectomies are also common!
Thank you for exposing your body!! You are so real. I look forward to going on this journey with you, as I am really concerned about my skin breaking out like crazy.
@kizzymarlene Oh yeah. I haven't looked to much into toxins and acne but I have heard about that being the situation. Hopefully we can kill two birds with one stone.
@1266D Awesome. I can use all the motivation I can get. I get lazy and give up on things just like everybody else. I hope we all learn some things during the journey even if its that this stuff doesn't work. I'm hoping for the opposite though.
You are my hero today. I can only imagine the amount of strength it takes to do what you did. I wish you nothing but success on this part of your journey. A friend of mine has issues with fibroid tumors and has been [self] treating them by following a vegan (organic) diet--with quite a bit of success. From reading your previous comments, I can tell that you're probably already on to this. I think you're beautiful and a wonderful source of inspiration. And when I grow up, can I have your arms?
@fatchickskinny You sure can have my arms (although I have some cellulite on the back of those too now). I was SO HATED by my drill sergeants during my brief stint in the ARMY about 9 years ago that they made me drop and do pushups every time they saw me (all day long). I couldnt do one push up at first but was a pro afterward. My arms have been hanging on for the long haul. Lol.
@NaturalDiva10 Thanks babes. That would be awesome. It is awesome to have like minded people to do things with. It makes it seem more impactful and may hold me more accountable to not just quit if I'm not just doing it for myself.
sending you a virtual hug girl... u will get it together! ur determined to get in better health so u will reach your goal. just a lil tip i used for losing weight... eating clean... basically avoiding non processed foods... these chemicals (artificial additivites/preservatives) in the food impact our overall health - weight gain, energy, etc...
i'm hoping to get in better shape with u too! so lets do it!
@kzique73 Absolutely agree with you. Processed foods are the worst along with hormone induced foods and altered foods like hydrogenated oil and that damn high fructose corn syrup. It isn't healthy no matter how hard they try to clean it up. WTH. Why are they intentionally making food unhealthy? Its a shame that America has sold out the public for money. Healthy/organic or unaltered food is so expensive I would have to sell an organ to afford it.
I love your channel girl, you are so raw and honest with your viewers. You have shared so much about your life deep shit and I know that takes strength. I'm def not going to tell you that the cellulite ain't there but I would trade with you in a heartbeat...LOL !
@brandi1525 Thank you so much. I learned that people respond to honesty. I found out when I first showed my balding head a few years ago on fotki and everyone was amazed that I would show ugly pics of myself. You have to admit you have a problem before you can change it. I'm glad that you appreciate that. I know I'm not in the worst shape but I have a friend that pretty much waves her hand in my face when I mention that I have cellulite like its not valid because I'm not extremely fat. Lol.
Wow! I have cellulite as well but I developed mines from pregnancy. I had a great skin up until I had my last 2 children. Thank u so much for sharing all this info. I can't wait to see ur results when u tone it up. I honestly have to say that u do no look that bad, u still have a chance to lose the cellulite. U will see improvements in no time..Good Luck sis. U just motivated me to do the same. Ur an inspiration..Thank u very much once again.
@victoria0402 Thanks sis. Your words are also motivating to me. I am hoping I have positive results. My thinking is how could I not though. Even changing a few things and a tiny improvement is STILL an improvement. I will embrace moving in the right direction.
@lilchez1 - Your welcome! I can't wait to see the results. I wrote a TYPO I wrote U do no look bad, I met to say u do not look bad. Duh! Sorry about that, but ur smart enough to figure out what I was saying. I am going to change my diet because like u was saying about the toxins etc.is my issue. Keep up the good work.
Let's do this! You know where you DON'T want to be so its good to know you are starting to move more in a direction of where you DO want to be. Can't wait to see your next videos concerning physical, spiritual and mental exercises.
cont.....News flash....Breaking News.....According to Dr.Graham it's fat that feeds Candida not sugar....that blew my mind.My mind was even more blown when I followed his program about 80% and the Candida and all it's nasty symptoms started disappearing.
@Angelicalovessolur Oh wow. I have to check out how that works. One of my biggest problems was that alcohol converts to sugar. After quitting I developed a sugar addiction that I still have. I know its bad but I'm pretty sure I've always had the addiction and didn't know about it. Didn't know you could be addicted to food. I hear the die off phase (I think thats what its called) is horrible and stinks. Thanks for the info.
good luck on your research and journey.....the saddle bag i dont think is a big issue on your body.....nonetheless you look great...my stomach looks like yours and it protrudes out...sometimes i lose a bit of weight and it kinda goes down but never how it was back in my early 20's....i've gotten great at holding it in but not anymore lol...but overall I really think you look great...try not to stress the small stuff
@ItsSandyCheeks Thanks so much hon. I used to dance so I used to be great at sucking it in but I got sick of it. I see people go back to healthy sizes via exercise etc. I might be able to get it back but I don't know if I have the discipline. Its hard to lose weight when you are not morbidly obese. I was weighing 119 on all my home scales but the doc always said I was between 124-126. That used to piss me off. Now I weigh 122 at home so I guess I'm 130 at the doc. Not happy. Gotta work it out.
@lilchez1 yea I feel u ..I don't have the discipline either lol..I wanna try but I'm lazy lol....don't lose too much...u seem a nice size on camera....I'm 165 now and I hate it...cause my base weight used to always be 130....most ppl think I'm lying when I tell em I'm 165 lol....good luck...ill wait to see ur journey I could use some motivation too
Hey Girl..Thanks for this vid...I had all those things minus the cellulite.I struggled with Candida for years and years(15yrs). The 80/10/10(Dr.Douglas Graham) diet was the only diet that helped me.It actually save my life.Check him out here on youtube in your free time.I've had the cyst in my armpits a few times and on my back.I learned that it was toxic lymph system(the body's sewage system)that was overloaded with toxins causing the cysts.I still have the fibroids......Thks 4 sharing yr story
@Angelicalovessolur I forget why I stopped tripping on the candida. I started making my own kefir at home. It is a wonderful probiotic drink. I have a video about it. I bought my grains on ebay. I will check this diet out too. I believe the cellulite is related to lymph problems as well. I'll keep researching. For the fibroids read about estrogen disease and xenoestrogens. It will blow your mind. I feel like it can be fixed. I don't want to have a hysterectomy like everybody else. I won't.
Just to say Well done! for your honesty and I hope you are able to get of it. That aside you are beautiful and have a good figure nonetheless. Bless you.
cont...I do see the cellulite & I do hv alittle But I hv more stretch marks(most bc of hving a baby) but u r right about us being toxin & that is something how our body reacts to the toxins bc its not natural& as u said meds just end up makin it worst. And u r so very bold!! Go bless u sis. U kno organic herbs r good 2use & stop eating breads even wheat breads. I will inbox u the other detox I am doin but will document it as well. God bless sis!!
@sheritashairtemple I'd be interested in the organic herbs maybe. I have been trying to get around the bread thing for a while. Eating the honey oat or flax bread from subway. I only buy sprouted bread now but eat bread less now because yuck. Problem is other things with white flour, donuts, pastry, cakes cookies. They convert to sugar in the bod which hurts liver. I almost tried the kelp after the radiation scare from Japan. I live in LA by the Pacific. They were sold out in the state. cont.
@lilchez1 I did hear about the scare from Japan. & I hope u do look in2 kelp(organic) & people dont kno but u can eat herbs...i mix mines in tea & drink the tea & eat the rest left.I do add kelp to it so I wont taste it that much. I also juice my veggies &fruit (from the health master,by Montel Williams).(Awesome!!!). But thats good that u r staying away fr those white breads. wheat&white I stay away fr& flour. Bc flour use 2b produced by iodine but now r by bromine & can cause infirtility..cont
@lilchez1 cont...diabetes etc. See the bromine restricts us fr iodine...so the kelp helps w/iodine difficiency & cellulite etc. I use it in my bath water, Im currently tryin 2mk a paste for my face tht will help w/the acne. Pls research it& the herbs a must. But u will hv 2b careful what u do& use. I kno money is kinda tight...but w/the probl u hv u dont wnt 2cause any reactions. Im about 2inbox u sis. God bless w/your natural journey & your followers need2hear this & I believe they will thnk u!
@sheritashairtemple I might be able to get some now though. I should read up on that too. If it can remove radiation there must be something to it. That is until all the water becomes so polluted that we won't be able to get a clean batch of it. Thanks for checking this vid sis. I think about the story of your mother when I think about cleansing too.
I am so glad ur doing more vids on health. Ihv been doin so much study on health since I lost my mom due 2cancer.& I believe I hv prob w/candida also, I hv taken pics of prods that I am now eating & natural/organic vit I am takin rght now 2doc my body changes. Ihv prob w/acne bad& Ikno its toxin. So Im glad 4the new lifestyle vids bc peop r caught up in hair routine. I am detoxin rght now &1 prod I recommend that helps w/just about everything is organic kelp powder..its nasty but effective& cont
@sheritashairtemple I don't know how the 4 Us Naturals readers are gonna take it. They can be fickle and it seems that they only want to see hair videos. I hope it goes over well but I won't upload until tomorrow. I've been having horrific gas for maybe 6 months. My bf thinks its my vitamins. I stopped taking them for a few days & haven't needed his belly rubs. Damn. I know it was the iron but I am anemic. Also just read that calcium can cause gastric problems. He wants me to get vitamins cont
@sheritashairtemple From foods. I think I will gradually try to re-incorporate the other vits to see if my system can handle them. I don't want to stop taking hair vitamins B & C. Need calcium too because I'm lactose intolerant. Meds are murder on the liver which I dont need since I'm an alcoholic. Organic vits might be better. Organic food is hugely expensive. Wow. I dont know how I can afford it. Just found out chicken doesn't have hormones as per US law so I guess I can still eat that.
Hi.....I clicked the dislike(dumbs down) for this vid in error.Something I never do..I just don't like to poo poo anyboby..Love you and your channel.Peace and Love my sister.Celeste
@Angelicalovessolur Thanks for letting me know. I have done that before. All you have to do is then hit the thumbs up and it will undo the thumbs down. It looks like you already did that because I don't see any thumbs down. Thanks for the love Celeste.
@Jessica89
Yeah. I kinda like it but its pretty much expensive.
Good thing my friend recommended me this
solution offered by the site:
Bit.ly/Truth-About-Cellulite
It wasnt expensive plus it offers 60days
money back guarantee. And amazingly, it
did what it promised! My cellulite was all
gone permanently in less than a month.
Its God-sent miracle.:)

I know I'm ridiculous but I needed it to be seen or people wouldn't have paid attention to the video as much. I've only gone to gym once since vid and got REALLY sick. I think from the cold supermarket afterwards with my wet skin. My ff thinks its from people at the gym. Either way I am gonna be starting all the things I have in store soon

@Angelicalovessolur Lol @ the trampoline. I live in a studio apartment but it would be funny for me to jam one in there jumping on it all the time. They would think I was crazy.

@lilchez1 Hey girl I've experience some horrible candida die off reactions over the years,but on the 80/10/10 diet I had very mild die off reactions. According to Dr.Graham yeasts doesn't have a long life span but if you keep feeding the yeasts it will continue to grow.Yeah.....Yeasts die off symptoms are a mother..... alot people give up on fighting candida because of the die off. Checking out "Dry Skin Brushing" for lymph system cleaning.Yerba Prima makes a good brush($10)...

Thanks for sharing your story and journey. So many women deal with and try to conceal this problem, but it is an issue for so many of us. I look forward to seeing the upcoming related videos.
traveladysc 10 months ago
@traveladysc They say 80-90% of women may have them but new studies suggest that all women have it. It just isn't visible. It is your fat and everybody has some fat. It doesn't become a problem to any of us until it starts to bulge. Thank you for watching and following along on my voyage.
lilchez1 10 months ago
hectic but I noticed remarkable results. I also was doing side leg lifts with wieghts. OMGee once I get my cam I will do a response. I have some excercise tips that may help on ur journey. I hv found that people like us that arent too far from target have more difficulty because we have less to lose so results dont happen as quickly as someone with a lot to lose. So dont get discouraged. I plan to motivate you and I hope u will do the same yt sis. B Blessed
lenachad123 10 months ago
@lenachad123 Please do make a response video. I could always stand to check out new exercises although I am pretty sure I know what you are talking about. I think the same thing. I wrote in in an earlier comment that it can be hard for people who aren't obese to lose weight. Have you ever tried to lose 5 lbs? Ugh. Its murder. I walked around a track with a big friend and she could barely walk. She lost a few pounds. I ran around a lot of times and NOTHING happened. Not even with 3 hours exercise
lilchez1 10 months ago
Beautiful spirit. I want to personally thank you for sharing. I think that your journey will be successful because you seem to be in pretty good shape. I have cellulite in the same areas and I intend to follow your channel. I have been doing squats(bending at the knee as if I am about to sit down while on my tippy toes holdong for two seconds and then standin up straight still on my tippy's and squeeezing my glutes and I have toned up really nicely. Ive slacked off the last 3wks cuz scoo is
lenachad123 10 months ago
Oh my! We have the SAME body shape! I too am struggling with the cellulite on my thighs, the saddle bags, and the belly fat (from pregnancy). I have heard about toxins being trapped within the fat cells and was thinking about doing the Master Cleanse (the Lemonade Diet) to help kick off my healthy journey. It is hard to get back into shape but not impossible. Just take dedication, effort, and consistency. I will be following your journey with you! Thanks for sharing!

i wonder if fibroid tumors have anything to do with drinking , my mom is and has been an alcoholic since before i was born (im 25) and she also has fibroid tumors. i remember you saying you have been sober for 2 years
workit718 10 months ago
@workit718 Not sure about that but you should know that fibroids are far more common in African American women than any other race. We are 3 times more likely to have them than white women. I am coming up on some theories for it but since it probably runs in your family you may wind up getting them as well. Mine make me bleed so heavy I lose enough blood to be highly anemic. Alcohol is toxic though and it could be a contributor but race is a huge factor for us.
lilchez1 10 months ago
@lilchez1 oooo ok. thanks so much for that piece of info. I will def research it more. stay strong.

@TLojoseph Absolutely. And if you find out any new information about it let me know. Thanks.
lilchez1 10 months ago
Girl you still look good, but I think you're lucky because you caught your journey to getting overweight at the BEGINNING of the process. A lot of us don't notice till much later. Fortunately, your fat's in the pear area. My weight gain also centralizes in that area, but also my breasts, and I have similar cellulite. Never realized it was toxins. I've had ultrasounds and a catscan and there are no fibroids. It is simply fat, which is a better diagnoses than fibroids/tumors. Thanks for sharing.
lashandar 10 months ago
@lashandar Lucky they were able to rule out fibroids. The percentage of Black (and other minority) women that have them is astronomical. I am going down fighting. I need to have a baby. When I was pregnant years ago I had pain so they did an ultrasound and the picture that I saw I thought was my baby. The nurse let the doctor tell me. I was pregnant in my fallopian tubes and the large mass in my uterus was a fibroid. I was told not to worry because its so common. Hysterectomies are also common!

lilchez1 10 months ago
You are my hero today. I can only imagine the amount of strength it takes to do what you did. I wish you nothing but success on this part of your journey. A friend of mine has issues with fibroid tumors and has been [self] treating them by following a vegan (organic) diet--with quite a bit of success. From reading your previous comments, I can tell that you're probably already on to this. I think you're beautiful and a wonderful source of inspiration. And when I grow up, can I have your arms?
fatchickskinny 10 months ago
@fatchickskinny You sure can have my arms (although I have some cellulite on the back of those too now). I was SO HATED by my drill sergeants during my brief stint in the ARMY about 9 years ago that they made me drop and do pushups every time they saw me (all day long). I couldnt do one push up at first but was a pro afterward. My arms have been hanging on for the long haul. Lol.
lilchez1 10 months ago
Thanks for making this video. I can relate. I plan to follow your channel and hopeful get rid of toxins.

lilchez1 10 months ago
sending you a virtual hug girl... u will get it together! ur determined to get in better health so u will reach your goal. just a lil tip i used for losing weight... eating clean... basically avoiding non processed foods... these chemicals (artificial additivites/preservatives) in the food impact our overall health - weight gain, energy, etc...
i'm hoping to get in better shape with u too! so lets do it!
have a good rest of the week! = )
kzique73 10 months ago
@kzique73 Absolutely agree with you. Processed foods are the worst along with hormone induced foods and altered foods like hydrogenated oil and that damn high fructose corn syrup. It isn't healthy no matter how hard they try to clean it up. WTH. Why are they intentionally making food unhealthy? Its a shame that America has sold out the public for money. Healthy/organic or unaltered food is so expensive I would have to sell an organ to afford it.

I love your channel girl, you are so raw and honest with your viewers. You have shared so much about your life deep shit and I know that takes strength. I'm def not going to tell you that the cellulite ain't there but I would trade with you in a heartbeat...LOL !
brandi1525 10 months ago
@brandi1525 Thank you so much. I learned that people respond to honesty. I found out when I first showed my balding head a few years ago on fotki and everyone was amazed that I would show ugly pics of myself. You have to admit you have a problem before you can change it. I'm glad that you appreciate that. I know I'm not in the worst shape but I have a friend that pretty much waves her hand in my face when I mention that I have cellulite like its not valid because I'm not extremely fat. Lol.
lilchez1 10 months ago
Wow! I have cellulite as well but I developed mines from pregnancy. I had a great skin up until I had my last 2 children. Thank u so much for sharing all this info. I can't wait to see ur results when u tone it up. I honestly have to say that u do no look that bad, u still have a chance to lose the cellulite. U will see improvements in no time..Good Luck sis. U just motivated me to do the same. Ur an inspiration..Thank u very much once again.
victoria0402 10 months ago
@victoria0402 Thanks sis. Your words are also motivating to me. I am hoping I have positive results. My thinking is how could I not though. Even changing a few things and a tiny improvement is STILL an improvement. I will embrace moving in the right direction.
lilchez1 10 months ago
@lilchez1 - Your welcome! I can't wait to see the results. I wrote a TYPO I wrote U do no look bad, I met to say u do not look bad. Duh! Sorry about that, but ur smart enough to figure out what I was saying. I am going to change my diet because like u was saying about the toxins etc.is my issue. Keep up the good work.
victoria0402 10 months ago
Let's do this! You know where you DON'T want to be so its good to know you are starting to move more in a direction of where you DO want to be. Can't wait to see your next videos concerning physical, spiritual and mental exercises.

cont.....News flash....Breaking News.....According to Dr.Graham it's fat that feeds Candida not sugar....that blew my mind.My mind was even more blown when I followed his program about 80% and the Candida and all it's nasty symptoms started disappearing.
Angelicalovessolur 10 months ago
@Angelicalovessolur Oh wow. I have to check out how that works. One of my biggest problems was that alcohol converts to sugar. After quitting I developed a sugar addiction that I still have. I know its bad but I'm pretty sure I've always had the addiction and didn't know about it. Didn't know you could be addicted to food. I hear the die off phase (I think thats what its called) is horrible and stinks. Thanks for the info.
lilchez1 10 months ago
good luck on your research and journey.....the saddle bag i dont think is a big issue on your body.....nonetheless you look great...my stomach looks like yours and it protrudes out...sometimes i lose a bit of weight and it kinda goes down but never how it was back in my early 20's....i've gotten great at holding it in but not anymore lol...but overall I really think you look great...try not to stress the small stuff
ItsSandyCheeks 10 months ago
@ItsSandyCheeks Thanks so much hon. I used to dance so I used to be great at sucking it in but I got sick of it. I see people go back to healthy sizes via exercise etc. I might be able to get it back but I don't know if I have the discipline. Its hard to lose weight when you are not morbidly obese. I was weighing 119 on all my home scales but the doc always said I was between 124-126. That used to piss me off. Now I weigh 122 at home so I guess I'm 130 at the doc. Not happy. Gotta work it out.
lilchez1 10 months ago
@lilchez1 yea I feel u ..I don't have the discipline either lol..I wanna try but I'm lazy lol....don't lose too much...u seem a nice size on camera....I'm 165 now and I hate it...cause my base weight used to always be 130....most ppl think I'm lying when I tell em I'm 165 lol....good luck...ill wait to see ur journey I could use some motivation too
ItsSandyCheeks 10 months ago
Hey Girl..Thanks for this vid...I had all those things minus the cellulite.I struggled with Candida for years and years(15yrs). The 80/10/10(Dr.Douglas Graham) diet was the only diet that helped me.It actually save my life.Check him out here on youtube in your free time.I've had the cyst in my armpits a few times and on my back.I learned that it was toxic lymph system(the body's sewage system)that was overloaded with toxins causing the cysts.I still have the fibroids......Thks 4 sharing yr story
Angelicalovessolur 10 months ago
@Angelicalovessolur I forget why I stopped tripping on the candida. I started making my own kefir at home. It is a wonderful probiotic drink. I have a video about it. I bought my grains on ebay. I will check this diet out too. I believe the cellulite is related to lymph problems as well. I'll keep researching. For the fibroids read about estrogen disease and xenoestrogens. It will blow your mind. I feel like it can be fixed. I don't want to have a hysterectomy like everybody else. I won't.

cont...I do see the cellulite & I do hv alittle But I hv more stretch marks(most bc of hving a baby) but u r right about us being toxin & that is something how our body reacts to the toxins bc its not natural& as u said meds just end up makin it worst. And u r so very bold!! Go bless u sis. U kno organic herbs r good 2use & stop eating breads even wheat breads. I will inbox u the other detox I am doin but will document it as well. God bless sis!!
sheritashairtemple 10 months ago
@sheritashairtemple I'd be interested in the organic herbs maybe. I have been trying to get around the bread thing for a while. Eating the honey oat or flax bread from subway. I only buy sprouted bread now but eat bread less now because yuck. Problem is other things with white flour, donuts, pastry, cakes cookies. They convert to sugar in the bod which hurts liver. I almost tried the kelp after the radiation scare from Japan. I live in LA by the Pacific. They were sold out in the state. cont.
lilchez1 10 months ago
@lilchez1 I did hear about the scare from Japan. & I hope u do look in2 kelp(organic) & people dont kno but u can eat herbs...i mix mines in tea & drink the tea & eat the rest left.I do add kelp to it so I wont taste it that much. I also juice my veggies &fruit (from the health master,by Montel Williams).(Awesome!!!). But thats good that u r staying away fr those white breads. wheat&white I stay away fr& flour. Bc flour use 2b produced by iodine but now r by bromine & can cause infirtility..cont
sheritashairtemple 10 months ago
@lilchez1 cont...diabetes etc. See the bromine restricts us fr iodine...so the kelp helps w/iodine difficiency & cellulite etc. I use it in my bath water, Im currently tryin 2mk a paste for my face tht will help w/the acne. Pls research it& the herbs a must. But u will hv 2b careful what u do& use. I kno money is kinda tight...but w/the probl u hv u dont wnt 2cause any reactions. Im about 2inbox u sis. God bless w/your natural journey & your followers need2hear this & I believe they will thnk u!
sheritashairtemple 10 months ago
@sheritashairtemple I might be able to get some now though. I should read up on that too. If it can remove radiation there must be something to it. That is until all the water becomes so polluted that we won't be able to get a clean batch of it. Thanks for checking this vid sis. I think about the story of your mother when I think about cleansing too.

I am so glad ur doing more vids on health.

Ihv prob w/acne bad& Ikno its toxin. So Im glad 4the new lifestyle vids bc peop r caught up in hair routine. I am detoxin rght now &1 prod I recommend that helps w/just about everything is organic kelp powder..its nasty but effective& cont

@sheritashairtemple I don't know how the 4 Us Naturals readers are gonna take it. They can be fickle and it seems that they only want to see hair videos. I hope it goes over well but I won't upload until tomorrow. I've been having horrific gas for maybe 6 months. My bf thinks its my vitamins. I stopped taking them for a few days & haven't needed his belly rubs. Damn. I know it was the iron but I am anemic. Also just read that calcium can cause gastric problems. He wants me to get vitamins cont
lilchez1 10 months ago
@sheritashairtemple From foods. I think I will gradually try to re-incorporate the other vits to see if my system can handle them. I don't want to stop taking hair vitamins B & C. Need calcium too because I'm lactose intolerant. Meds are murder on the liver which I dont need since I'm an alcoholic. Organic vits might be better. Organic food is hugely expensive. Wow. I dont know how I can afford it. Just found out chicken doesn't have hormones as per US law so I guess I can still eat that.
