  • Thank you Jess!!

    You are such an inspiration to me...I'm trying to lose the 80lbs. I was 125Ibs in 2009 I'm 200Ibs today! I was always fit and happy, I even worked at a gym and loved motivating everyone....what happened??? Your video came to me at the perfect time girl!! Love you lots and I'll check in with you again on my progress :D

    Love you lots :D

  • Good to see you being real and honest :)

  • i don't know how i missed this video when you uploaded it! so glad you're back. i'm getting back on track too - well, planning to. my weigh-ins are on friday's too so it'll be like we're doing it together! yay!

  • @StacyGwilt Thank you so much!!!

  • So excited you're back! I am actually in the same boat, and you are at my goal weight. One of my biggest problems is deciding what foods truly are healthy, maybe you could do a video where you just talk about the foods you ate, I know I as well as many would find that quite beneficial. Thank you for being so honest and Good Luck!

  • @funkykara14 I'll definitely do that!! :)

  • Welcome back - excited to see you! I think we can all relate to what you are saying and you only fail if you give up :)

  • @cj1897 Thanks for saying that!!

  • Never left! Courage is hard. You are awesome! Glad to see you back!

  • @DanneGirlVlogs You're awesome!

  • I can not thank you enough for doing this video. I had just confessed yesterday to a few of my youtube friends that I had gained a TON of weight. I told them I will start making videos again as of Sept. 1st. You're right... we are human. :)

  • @UniversityofMe101 Thank YOU! Let me know once you do videos!!

  • @UniversityofMe101 I am in the same boat. I gained weight and was ashamed of it. Guess I should confess and move forward. :)

  • It can be hard to be so honest, but in the end its the way to go. We are all human, and no need to be embarrassed. At least now you know you can do it, am I right? Its nice to see your smiling face again!

  • @maeberrie33 EXACTLY!!!

  • Jess! I am glad your back, you are awesome. I was also obssessed with calories, measuring cups and food scale. I am also restarting my jouney too since I gained about 10ish lbs. It's so hard but we can do it :)

  • @SabsReviews Way to go!! You can do it!

  • yay, glad ur back! gives me motivation to make a video!

  • @leraloses YAY! Do it!!

  • Welcome back! :)

  • @Kat71 Thank you!

  • I am so glad you are back! Will be following your journey... and losing along with you. I have also taken a few backwards steps and you motivated me before know you will again. All the best Jess, you are truly an inspiration!

    Big love all the way from NZ!

  • Respond to this video... 

  • I never made it about calories as it was proven to me that the calls theory is wrong. I see it more from a glycemic index angle.

  • @msixpackabs That's awesome! Good for you!

  • well Jess...we usually do this. We come on youtube and like to "brag" about our achievements and the moment we do bad we consider it's not in the YT WLC's interest for our struggles to be shared. Is that right is it wrong? Who knows?

  • @msixpackabs Well it's not entirely true...I've always been honest about both my gains and losses but I know what you mean. I needed the time away and now I'm glad to be back!

  • You look great!!

  • @caramel1430 Thank you!!

  • Thank you so much for making this video! I got really obsessed with WW and it led to an eating disorder. I've also gained weight after I decided to stop obsessing and its been hard to accept. But I'm healthy (I exercise and eat right for the most part). Looking forward to following your journey.

  • @Cintaku78 It's super hard since it was hard to get there in the first place but you just got to brush your shoulders and stand back up. :)

  • yay your back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @sabrinalhs yay:)

  • I found that MYFITNESSPAL is a great way to monitor and track your food holistically and have community support and its FREE....my user name is XoBrittanyXo :)

  • @Bipper12987 That's awesome!

  • so good to have you back and the honesty is so refreshing!!! Im a WW lifetime member and been maintaining past year (YAY!) however, I recently stopped going to WW and I am also trying to shy away from "points" and concentrate on everything...just eating better and looking more into carbs, sugars, etc.

  • @Bipper12987 Thank you so much!! And way to go!! That's amazing!! It's hard to stop counting points but you just got to find your own thing. Way to go girl!

  • hi

  • @Bipper12987 Hi!

  • great video! im proud of you. WW is not a long term plan. The calories are way too low. thank you for sharing your experience :)

  • @FreeUpYourMind Thank you so much!

  • THANK YOU FOR COMING BACK! Your videos help me get through my journey! Cant wait to see more!

  • @jessiberri5680 Thank you! Glad they can help!

  • PLEASE PLEASE DO PICS OF ALL YOUR MEALS LIKE YOU DID BEFORE!!!!!1

  • @almark14 blog is back up. Can't promise every day pics but I'll try my best!

  • my highest weight was 200lbs and now im 136 and thats thanks to you Jess, i did out up 6 lbs but i wanna b 125 cause i just ended a 6 yr relationship and want to feel good about myself

  • @almark14 You did AMAZING!!! Way to go!! You can totally get there!! :)

  • Welcome back Jess! Good to see you! I just realized that you are two months older than me. <3

  • @DreamFaerye 1986 buddies!!

  • Jess, I'm so happy you are back! You have always genuinely been my favorite YouTuber and you are still truly an inspiration. I'm glad you are happy! I, too, had a rough year. I was unemployed and moving around but I have finally settled in a new city, got a great job, new apartment, and I'm back in college! Unfortunately, I got very out of shape from eating bad, cheap food for a year. I'm afraid to weigh myself, but I'm ready to start this journey with you! I can't wait to hear your tips :)

  • @Amar4nthine wow thank you so much for saying that! I'm sorry to hear about your rough year but happy that you are doing so well!! You can totally do this!

  • I'm so glad youre back Jess! I just started back on weight loss and have lossed 8 pounds so far. We can do it together!

  • @LivetoLoveLovetoLose Way to go!!! You're doing awesome!!

  • as soon as you said " this could be a long video" I thought "HECK YEAH!!!" So happy to see you Jess xxx

  • @KMCmumof3 haha omg you rock!

  • “In three words I can sum up everything I've learned about life. It goes on.” - Robert Frost

  • @WholeWheatSandwich words of wisdom <3

  • I'm so glad you're back! I will be watching the vids and I wish you lots of luck on your journey!

  • @chanel113 Thank you so much!

  • I am so happy that you made this video! Today I woke up and began my own weightloss lifestyle change and I am blessed to have a friend who decided to change with me. It is awesome that you are doing videos again because you are such an inspiration!

  • @malia0308 Let's do it together:)

  • You are so awesome. I never really religiously watched your videos before, but I saw this in my homepage. I've really slipped in my eating, and I know you say that you should be proud of the body you have but it's so hard when I'm not proud of the choices that I've made that landed me with this body. I decided today is where I start the change. With eating right and exercising even if I don't completely change how I look at least I can be proud of the choices I'm making.

  • @SkiGoddess07 Be proud that you CAN do something about it. And every good decision you make is something to be proud of:)

  • Love the vid :) and the fact you never gave up! I'm messing up every 2 weeks - 1 great week, 1 terrible and I'm gaining all that I've lost. But now -- seeing you -- WOW :) Always loved your videos (and you :) ) but now I love them even more! You're inspiring me to keep going. Thank you :)

  • @magicineverydaylife Thanks love! You can do it! Start today and NEVER be mad about bad choices just get back to it:)

  • welcome back. you deserve happiness, always love who you are, and know you can control your path, but sometimes, we just take a few twists and turns before we need the straight road ahead. :)

  • @Bonnie90505 THank you for saying that!

  • I have the same issues with WW. I go back and forth, back and forth anda always come back to them because it's easier than counting calories, but at the same time it's so planted in my brain how many points something is that I seem to automatically count them even when not counting lol I also tend to get obsessed and overexcercise if I ate over points.

  • @alycat25 it doesn't work for everyone...I know it's not a system that goes hand in hand with my fitness and I learned it the hard way but you move on and find something else that works for you!

  • This is awesome, so happy to see you back, struggling a bit too, but let's do it!

  • @curleegirl68 Let's!!

  • wow this is God Sent, I use to watch your Videos before and 3 day ago I started eating healther because I need to loose 80 lb :/ Thank God and Thank you for coming back :)))

  • Yay your back!

  • @blondiechicknz YAY!!! :) I am:)

  • At your biggest and at your lowest you are an inspiration. You look beautiful and you are so right about loving the body you are in now. Why should you love your body or yourself when you reach a certain weight. I'm a whole lot bigger than you and i'm losing weight too. I feel my body changing in small ways and I love it and myself.

  • @enchantresslyssa you are so awesome. Thank you so much

  • Comment removed

  • You just made the perfect video!!! I work for WW and I am obsessed with points, but i am just binging and I gained 20lbs over the summer. i need to get back on track. I teach a fitness class and i feel embarrassed getting in front of people at my weight now. i need to get back on track and you have inspired me to GET BACK ON TRACK and make a new video!!!! :) SO glad you are back!

  • @marissaandmommy wow! Perfect video? Thanks for saying that!! That's so nice of you to say!!

  • So glad you're back! I always loved your videos! Do you still work for Booty Camp Fitness?

  • @ashleyandlee Aww thank you!! And yes I do!

  • @MsPrasad007 Me too:)

  • Welcome Back! I love how honest you are. Glad you are happy! Keep up up the great work, you are so inspiring..Love your videos.

  • @famousmarie3 Thanks so much!! You have no idea how much that means to me!

  • You go girl! SO glad you are back! 

  • @Melanie62389 Thank you!!

  • Good for you! the journey is the most important part becuase we learn so much. I'm very happy you. You shouldn't be embarrassed... if you are embarrassed.. imagine what you would be if you were me! I have been at this for years with my health issues.  But all we can do is do what you said.. love yourself and accept us as we are. create a great day

  • @Ishkiia SO true! I can't even explain the amount of things I learned in the last 3 years. It's insane

  • So happy for u Jess. Glad to see ur human and not a robot haha. Takes a lot of guts but I'm really happy for u!

  • @mzzangelady yay!! So happy to be back as well!

  • I am so glad that you are back. I can see why you would be hesitant to come on and admit that you gained weight but Im glad you did. Its your honest approach and super positive attitude that make you so great to watch. On a side note it was nice to hear that you and your boyfriend made your way back to eachother.

  • @lblush THank you so much for saying that.

  • @nahal09 Thank you so much!

  • @cjayde23 Thanks so much!

  • are you bringing back your blog? It was so inspiring for food and workout ideas! welcome back!

  • @themeglacey the blog is back up! trulyjess (dot) com

  • I've been watching you for about a year and a half. I've wondered what happened to you. I'm glad you're doing well. I look forward to watching your progress.

  • @allsunnydays Thank you so much!

  • I am so freaking happy to see u back! You were one of the f1st youtubers that I started watchin and I've watched every single one of your videos.

    I always appreciated your honesty and it's one of the reasons that kept me watching!

    We all have set backs but most times they make us stronger. And I am sure this will make u a stronger person too.

    I actually put up my first vid a couple of days ago and it would mean a lot if u could check it out if u like. Having your support would be so great!

  • @deeplytrulyelisa wow thank you! that means a lot to me!

  • You're always an inspiration Jess and I'm so glad to see you back!

  • @megz84 Thank you so much for saying that!

  • You say you have to love your body at whatever weight you're at - and to a degree that has some truth but were you saying that at the highest weight? Or is that just a mindset achievable when the bodyweight is dropping? Congratulations on getting away from WW but I can't remember why you got in with it in the first place.You qualified to teach IDC and weren't you doing a PT cert too? WW has no place in amongst the knowledge we are taught.

    Ps.Welcome back :-)

  • @spinningman316 I think that at any weight you need to learn to love yourself because you don't miraculously love yourself when you lose the weight.

    I did weightwatchers at the beginning of my journey. My my IDC after goal and got my PT too while getting away from WW and needed to stop counting everything. Now finally doing it the right way, Practise what you preach

  • Jess welcome back! I always looked forward to your videos and was bummed when you stopped doing them. I'm proud of you for sharing your ups and downs, and don't you worry, we all have them! :) Love your positive and motivational attitude, can't wait for more videos. Do you still have a blog? Would love to see more on there. Keep up the good work :)

  • @taramariel I'm not going anywhere! Esp with my new outlook. THis is different! And my blog is back up: trulyjess (dot) com :)

  • @smurf786able You're welcome:)

  • As everyone else said, glad you are back! You look good at your current weight. You look healthy, not too thin. I would say work on fitness and not weight loss!  I have so much more to go. Thinking about becoming vegan. Unsure right now.

U did learn stuff along the way with ww to be able to then notice when u needed to change the diet to now be able to do it on ur own and succeed.There seems to be a lot of changes in such a short amount of time and u came throu it in the end and better for it. U r back with Andrew, and u do look really happy. See ya next week :)

  • @CrystalsSpectrum <3 Thank you so much

  • I am so happy you are back, Jess. I miss you on YT. Remember you not only help yourself, but you will motivate other with your videos. Love you and hope you can help me lose some weight. I will be waiting for you next week. xoxo.

  • @fabicaso THank you so much for saying that!

  • I love for posting this vid. I was the exact same way after making lifetime with WW. I felt like I was watching a vid about my life. So proud of you. I'm doing it on my own too with something I can see myself doing for the rest of my life. Great job, Jess and I'm so happy you are back!

  • @salsaleopard Good job love! :) And thank you so much!

  • thank you so much for sharing your story jess! i've missed your videos. glad your back and doing well :-)

  • @KellyDiane521 You're welcome and thank you so much for watching!

  • Yay!!! I'm so glad you're back. I like how you're so positive too about losing weight! Love it!!

  • @LC88Chavez positively is the best way to view things!

  • your going to do great. ive always had faith in u

  • @WhiteLaura :) that's so nice of you to say!

  • i'm glad you're back! you're a real person so you are going to gain and lose weight. don't feel bad! i would love future workout videos! welcome back :)

  • @MyHappyFeet02 thank you so much for saying that!

  • That's good that you were able to get back on track and lose 22 of the pounds that you gained. Many times in my life I have felt like I went past the point of no return. Losing weight and keeping it off is hard. I know this since I lost 80 pounds, gained it back and lost it again more than once but just because you mess up doesnt mean you cant lose it again which I believe you will, it just takes will power and discipline. I like watching your videos, whether your doing good or not so good.

  • @girlygirlaura It's so true. It's all about keeping at it!

  • Thanks for this, and for all the honesty. I can definitely relate and this is inspiring :)

    Keep it up!

  • @lotusxstar Thank you so much!
