THE pandemic helped one individual lose weight and discover a love of fitness so strong she went from being too embarrassed to go in the gym to training her own clients. When she moved schools, Danielle went from 155 to 235lbs in one year. Her mental health took a toll and Danielle would binge eat as a source of comfort. Danielle-s love of junk food and snacking saw her weight accelerate and despite numerous attempts to lose the extra pounds she saw little change. Danielle, from Toronto, Canada, started going to the gym at 2am so that no one else would see her but her unhealthy eating patterns persisted. Over the next five years, Danielle dropped 40lbs but the biggest change came in 2020. After losing her job, instead of going back to old habits, Danielle decided this was the year to finally reach her goal of losing 100lbs in total. Even the pandemic couldn-t stop her - in fact it turbocharged her fitness regime with Danielle pacing her apartment balcony and nearby park, plus simple home workouts. Far more significantly Danielle discovered a love of fitness. Now she is happy to visit the gym in daylight hours rather than the middle of the night and even trains others

I-m bringing the following up because this woman had only lost two pounds after a month of meeting with a trainer. I met with a personal trainer a while back who claimed she never did cardio and that it wasn-t as important as people think. I should mentioned that her body did not inspire. I-ll just leave it at that. My boss has a trainer and she-s had the same thing said to her. When I mentioned that I do an hour of cardio when I do cardio, she was stunned. This is when I found out she only does 15 minutes a day three times a week. Her trainer has told her this is enough even though she-s trying to lose weight. There are two trainers at my gym who are overweight. I was not there but a friend was in the class of a trainer who needed to take a break in the middle of her own class. She wasn-t having a health crises. She-s not pregnant. She didn-t have low blood sugar. She was just winded. I-m her own class. What is happening? Is body positivity culture affecting health and fitness culture? Anyone else noticing anything like this?

I love this. I was at 240 at one point. Never once did I let myself fall into denial and pretend like the fat hanging over my hips was anything other than gross and disgusting. All it takes is the tiniest bit of denial to let yourself go. It-s a straight battle, you gotta treat it like war. Never surrendering until you eventually conquer. Our culture is sick minded. NOBODY! Not one single person prefers to be overweight, no energy, depressed and no self esteem. Yet our society has encouraged and manipulated people into believing that being unhealthy is ok and even empowering. It-s a government psy-op to control people. The more unhealthy and overweight people are, the less independent and self aware they are. Leading to more control.

I'm at this place right now. Too embarrassed to go to a gym. But I have changed my eating habits. No sugar. Low carb. I'm losing weight but a good exercise program would help me get stronger and accelerate my results. I wont quit though. Everyday gets better. Thank you for having the courage to share your journey.

I was 215 lbs last year at this time. Now I am 140 and feel amazing! I gained 100 lbs over the last 20 years. People who didn't know me before say they can't even imagine me at 215 lbs. I keep a photo on my fridge to tell me I will never go back to my old lifestyle. I have a personal trainer who kicks my butt.

I understand that losing weight is important for many people and having a healthy mind state is important. However when I watch weight loss body transformation videos
it comes off like your life is going to be automatically better because your thin and that's just not true.

I-m on a weight loss journey too and seeing videos like this encourages me to push harder - so far I have lost 30 pounds and I-m left with 60 pounds -. I-m going to keep on working hard to lose the weight- it-s never easy

I-m at 233. I just restarted my weight loss journey. I was going through depression too. I just stopped living. I was also being bullied at my job. I quit my job and now committed to working on me.
