WHY AM I GAINING WEIGHT?

Love how this series is structured 🥰 I’m resuming my fitness routine and it’s not the easiest but, we gotta keep going 🙌🏽

No one should make fun of you while being on this journey of yours. You’re doing amazing!!! Hate comments should be your motivation to push through it all! You got this girl!

My close friends would NEVER taunt me like that. This person sounds like they're jealous that they've seen you blossom into a healthy and happy badass! Keep going girl!!

SCALE ISSUES: can be many things. Water retention, muscle gain, weight gain, etc. But when your main signifier of weightloss is just reading that scale number, you're going to only think about if it's weight gain. There are these things called "NON SCALE VICTORIES" that you can ask yourself about daily. Jeans fitting better? NSV! Not breathing weird while bending over to tie your shoes? NSV! etc etc. Take measurements. Those won't be NEARLY as flip-floppy as a scale. And, if you choose to do passive weightloss (strength training) then a scale will basically become useless. Food for thought! ♥

I haven’t watched this video yet - however, my mom came to me this year and told me she’s had an eating disorder for 28 years. I had no idea, no one did. My dad (her ex-husband) even had no clue. She moved to keto a couple years ago which “healthily/socially acceptable” fueled her eating disorder. And we were all cheering her on with this weight loss, not knowing we were feeding her ED. From this experience, I’ve learned to view peoples soul and not their physical body. I do not comment on anyones body. Weight loss. Diet. Our faces, bodies, skin, weight, hair, etc. are changing and morphing every day. Fall in love with every phase of yourself. And because of that, I will say - Jaclyn, you genuinely look happy. And you are beautiful ♥️

YOURE A VLOGGER NOW. Please don't ever stop. I love these so much.

I had so many negative people in my life during my weightloss journey. Even my husband at the time didn't support me at dinner time I would have to make 4 separate dinners. But in the end I perservered and lost 6.5 stones in a year and have kept it off even losing more including the husband 6 years later haha keep it up lovely your doing so well don't let people bring you down xxx

Stop having people like that around you Jaclyn, they're probably jealous of how strong you are. Keep going girl there are always gonna be haters no matter what you do, you just got to learn how to not listen to them. Remember life is a lesson. 👊🏻

Jaclyn, it’s okay to live in your present body without treating it as transitional. There is no perfect weight or shape that will make you love yourself, you have to make that decision. Feeding your body enough and listening to hunger cues instead of restricting until you “lose control” is what will lead to lifelong health. 💜

I stopped following a few years back after falling for the bullshit that drama channels we’re putting out there (I know, shame on me). I just came across your past 3 videos and I love how real you are and how vulnerable you’re being for your community!
Not that it matters, but I’m glad I found you again and wish you immense success on your life journey 🤍

Trainer here :)
If you plan to read the scale daily, I advise you look at the average of each week (add up the 7 days you weight and divide by 7). Compare the averages each week rather than the daily number. That would be a more realistic idea of what you way. Weight fluctuates, just like stress levels. Look at the overall, rather than the daily. The stresser (or number on the scale) will seem rather small and not so big....if that makes sense :)
Good luck! You gained back only 2 lbs, which can attribute to hormones, water intake, sodium intake, lack of sleep....do not let the small daily number bring you down.

Jaclyn ! Don’t forget you’re a female with fluctuating hormones and it’s inevitable for our weight to fluctuate along with that!! It’s natural and very normal! Focus on your overall journey and not those two pounds that could be unrelated to everything you’re doing! So proud of you!

RE: Weight gain on a weight loss journey. I have been there so many times before. I hope it helps to know that fluctuations in weight are very normal. The most important thing that you can do about when you see the number go up on the scale is to keep being consistent. For me, my weight shoots up days before my period starts and just before my ovulation week. It's usually just water weight, but if the scale is becoming particularly stressful for you, you may try to look at how your weight trends in a graph rather than focusing on the day-to-day.
It will get better and it will get easier. And you will learn to trust yourself more!

It sounds like you could be an introvert, Jaclyn. That's why you need to be alone in order to energize. That's ok and completely normal. We all need alone time and just give ourselves a chance to hear our thoughts and feelings.

I can actually tell you’ve lost weight, you look healthy and your glowing. Keep going girly because you look so good!❤️

Registered Dietitian here - sustainable weight loss shouldn’t exceed 1-2 lbs per week, and it is incredibly normal - and expected - to have weight shifts that go up and down by a couple of pounds depending on the day, hormone fluctuations, salt intake, etc.
Obviously you do what you feel is best, but I would suggest maybe not weighing every single day, and instead maybe move to a once every 3-5 days schedule, or maybe weigh yourself without looking and have Jordan write it down and you only look at the averages at the end of the month. Your loss weight loss won’t look like a straight downward line, it is expected to have plateaus and even weight gain-back of a few pounds even while the overall trend continues downward. Checking your weight this frequently and putting that much emphasis and pressure on yourself to continuing losing at least SOME amount every. single. time you look at the scale could potentially be setting you up for numerous frustrations and burnout when that number doesn’t drop as much as you were idealizing in your head that it should have. Keep reminding yourself that the number on the scale is just a measure of the earth’s gravitational pull on you. Even if your weight stayed the EXACT same as it is right now, making more health-supporting/nourishing eating habits like you are right now would STILL be just as worth it, because your body’s worth comes from the fact that it carries around your essence (soul/brain/spirit/whatever you want to call it). The best reason for making nourishing food choices isn’t to affect its appearance, it’s to care for its internal functions that keep you healthy and safe - and if weight loss is a side effect of those nourishing choices, then so be it.
Last tip: this is so difficult and takes practice, but it’s something that so many of patients say was the key to their successful, sustainable weight loss - shift your mindset to stop thinking of every meal as an opportunity where you sacrificed the food you actually wanted to eat in order to eat something “healthy” instead, and start thinking of each meal as an opportunity to fuel your body with great nutrients like fiber, protein, healthy fats, vitamins/minerals, etc. I know that to yourself it feels like you are totally joking when you play around about “look at what I’m having for lunch instead of you 🙃😒☹️😩”, I totally get that and believe me I’m not trying to be harsh, just pointing out a new perspective, but that really does reinforce in your own mind that you are feeling cheated of something, that you’re missing out, and that the food you’re eating isn’t as good as what you see others eating. This will always leave you feeling like you’re missing out and it’s just not a sustainable way to feel - NO one could be expected to happily choose that feeling every day 3x/day at each meal, and it probably won’t foster a really healthy, beneficial relationship with your food that you would like. Instead I would encourage you to think of those meals that you have different options than others as opportunities to nourish your body with a lot of really great nutrients. Take a moment to really feel grateful and privileged that you have the resources, knowledge, and support to make food choices that are nourishing to your body. It sounds so freaking lame, but I promise you over time it will lessen the feeling of resentment toward “healthier” foods. It’s also helpful to keep learning about what foods offer besides just calories. When you look at a piece of whole grain bread I don’t want you to just see “carbs” and “100 calories”, I also want you to see “fiber that helps my digestive health” and “protein that supports muscle tissue growth and immune system health” and “vitamins/minerals that support cellular turnover and regeneration”, and instead of looking at vegetables as “I can eat a lot and it’s low calorie” I want you to think “these have lots of vitamins/minerals that will help my immune system function better” and “the fiber in this will help keep my poop schedule regular as hell” lol. You get what I mean.
Overall, you’re doing great!!! Give yourself enough credit for the effort you’ve put in, but also be careful that you’re prioritizing your overall mental health and how enjoyable your relationship with food is over how much the number on the scale moves!!! Love you, good luck ❤️

Keep going Jaqueline, congratulations on your beautiful jewellery line & the weight loss journey 🇬🇧👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

I love this ❤️ very honest and really made me look at my binge eating and strict eating I need to find a way to incorporate the things I love and I want that tuna cucumber 🥒 I also obsess over weight even though I look In the mirror and my clothes fit. Body dysmorphia is real

Girl I feel you! Remember also hormone changes have a lot to do with weight and mus less mass. You are so beautiful and strong and whatever you do as long as it makes you happy qss you keep going. Health journeys will always have bad day but don't let bad days ruin all the progress and all the other good days 😘 God bless you and stay strong and positive 🤗

The weight gain is likely muscle from working out. I love that you have someone so supportive with you on this journey. Just having a mental break not thinking about food and having someone else help is really helpful.

Weight fluctuates ALL the time! What’s important is how you feel, staying hydrated, and being patient. JOURNEYS take time Jaclyn! So proud of your mindset and progress💗

anyways.... so proud of you and your journey keep it up. I'm here to see it all, your face has gotten so slim and I'm in love with you overall. Stay strong

Watching this journey of yours means the world to me, I’m going through my own weight loss journey right now and I genuinely understand all of these ups and downs and the people around you who don’t understand.

The best advice I see ever been given is to let myself feel the pain of a bad mood or something happening. Pain and pleasure are inversely proportional. One always follows the other, so accepting it while it's here can be very liberating.. for me anyway. I am enjoying these videos very much! As a former, server drug user, I can relate to the battle in our minds. Once we get to the other side, it's great. Something is always there to pull us back at any time though. 🙃

I had a year long weight loss journey and our hormones screw with weight so much. Water rention is real! You're doing great. Keep going!

I hope that person who’s taunting you is embarrassed af, people who aren’t supportive are people who are struggling themselves and are simply hating on your amazing journey. Go you!!

Ugh! Weight loss is SUCH a roller-coaster. It's never supposed to be a downward slope. Our bodies are amazing and do amazing things. You'll notice the fluctuations a lot before during and after your monthly cycle. I always either gain or stay right before my period, then I lose a good amount during. Ups and downs. You got this! You're doing great!

It happens, don’t feel discouraged. Specially when you have had a stressful couple of weeks. Don’t feel discouraged you are doing amazing!

I don’t think you realize how many people you are helping by vlogging!!! Especially me. Don’t get discouraged by the scale. I tell my clients to only use the scale every so many weeks. It’s about how you feel and look. Your body will fluctuate until it finds its balance. Keep going!! You’re doing amazing

Bestie I promise you that there has never been a moment you haven't been absolutely stunning, but I'm really happy for you and I'm proud of you!

I love how Jordan is a chef and can cook up some bomb unhealthy food but he makes healthy alternatives for jaclyn. That’s a real partner is to really help and encourage one another. Love them❤️

This vlog is NOT so negative- I can’t believe how much these videos motivate me to get healthy and lose weight because of how relatable they are. I love so many of the foods you show on this channel and I love getting inspiration for healthy meals and snacks, and I also love seeing both the ups AND downs because it’s easy to feel alone in the frustrations of this journey. Thanks so much for sharing this with us!

You look incredible lady! You are glowing more than ever! Such an inspiration to so many of us influencers 😘 keep up the hard work!

“Those people” are literally just jealous of all your accomplishments and are trying to make you fail anyway they can. Don’t allow them around you anymore! Stay strong girl!

SERIOUSLY 💙 YOU LOOK BEAUTIFUL 💙 IT'S REFRESHING HEARING HONESTY FROM SUCH AN ESTABLISHED WOMAN 💙 THANK YOU FOR KEEPING IT REAL 💙🙏

The mental improvements you’ve made towards healthy eating, exercise, and weight loss are insane to see through this documented journey. This is so inspiring!!!

I’m enjoying this Jaclyn far more than before! You’re so genuine here it feels ☺️😆🖤

These are the best videos Jaclyn! They are fun, real and entertaining. Thank you for making them❤

I have followed you for so long and I’m loving seeing how far you have come. You seem so grounded mentally and emotionally right now and in such a good place. Kudos to you on your health journey, it’s inspiring!

Yess girl I had everyone taunting me in my weightloss journey! It sucks! Glad you are spreading up about this because this is not ok

I feel bad too when people makes joke about your diet. It's like you offer an alcohol to the alcoholic. Life is already hard and they make it harder. I proud of you Jaclyn you can do it!!

I have never commented on your vids but I just had to today. You look so AMAZING! The weight loss results ARE SO GOOD! keep up all of the hard work bc we all see it. And Congrats on the new jewelry line looks beautiful 😍 you really are motivation for pushing me to be my own boss as well!

You look amazing and I can see a new confidence and glow in you! Keep doing you!

Proud of you, love seeing your personality. Keep it up 👏

the encouragement from Jordan is everything. I needed that so bad in my previous relationships

Please don't give up. Please don't stop Jaclyns Journey!! You've honestly inspired me so much to be more mindful of how I care for my body 🙌 I love you Jac!!

Congrats on this Journey- just a thought, I would look into Cushing Syndrome /Cyclic Cushings. It's a result of producing too much of the Cortisol hormone which is the stress hormone that can lead to weight gain when in excess. I would recommend looking into that and seeing if you have some of the other symptoms. Best of luck!

You look amazing! Be pround of the work you've put towards better health. The results are obvious and you look not only better, but fresher and uplifted (that's how I see you)!

Yes! I literally started my own health journey around the same time and I am down 11 pounds!!

Hello Jaclyn. Such an awesome content. Thanks for sharing the inspiring video.

Please, extend your journey more than 2 months! Love it!

Stay calm and motivated ❤️❤️
You can put on a couple pounds from anything being bloated, constipated, sore muscles, period.
Doesn’t mean it’s there permanently. You’ve got this ❤️❤️❤️

So proud of you! I’m still in the “I will eat whatever I want because I don’t care about myself” stage. I know I need to get my act together

Please please don't ever stop Jaclyn's journey. I wanna know you are staying fit anyway even after that 60 day period is over.

So happy for you!! I’ve been watching from the beginning and you got this girl!!!

The extra weight could be something as simple as water weight associated with hormones, not being regular (not 💩 that day), or a full bladder. You're making good choices & that's what matters.

im so happy you are doing this for you! I just want you to know how much this is also helping me. It feels like I have a best friend by my side with this whole weight journey. Thank You jaclyn you are truly amazing! :-)

I love this it’s so realistic
You inspire me to eat healthy and the snacks you put together 🔥 you look so good

Just literally watching what she cooks and does throughout the day is so entertaining to me. I’ve rewatched these like 10x.

I’m honestly so proud of you to see this journey and watch you get yourself to where you want to be again 🖤 weight has nothing to do with it it’s so much more the mental factor the physical the happiness there peace etc I’m going through a very similar journey after a 50lbs weight gain no longer wearing makeup just letting me slip completely from everything I loved about myself. Your series is helping so much. Xoxo love you Jaclyn

When I made my transition to a healthy food and exercise lifestyle, it was the people who I thought were my "friends" who made passive aggressive comments and put pressure to get off track. Those people are NOT your friends and I learned my lesson. Keep going Jac!

I’ve never been so obsessed with a series on KRclip before! I’ve loved every one of these! So proud of you and you can really see results in your face for SURE! You look happy and healthy and so many people are so proud of you ❤️

Remember as a female your weight goes up and down based on your cycle, so if your weight is couple of pounds higher sometimes that is okay! :) And if the scale starts to take over your mind too much, maybe do weekly weigh ins instead of daily, where you are able to see actual weight loss :) loved your video!

OMG YOU AND I BOTH!!!! 2 months ago I weighed 180. Im officially 168!!! We're doing this together!!!

I'm so happy to see you being raw and real with your viewers. I myself have gained 38lbs in the last few years. It's hard to feel like this isn't permanent. Working out has felt impossible to me and I feel more confident seeing you do this and not sugarcoat how hard it is. After finding my person for life I now have a wedding to get in shape for. Here's to getting rid of the weight of negativity and the lbs for both of us🥰

The way Jordan hypes her up with everything is absolutely adorable!!
Amazing job Jaclyn, keep inspiring us🤗

11:21 wow this hit me hard because when I used to watch your videos when you first started and would talk about running errands after putting on your makeup and being able to head right out the door. I wanted to be just like you but hearing you say this now I still suffer from this mainly because of facing people as well as I’m always in fear of something bad happening. I relate to you so much on so many levels it’s insane.

Your journey is SO beautiful and incredibly inspiring. You’re so real and raw in each of your videos, and your emphasis on mental health not just physical health is truly amazing. Makes me love watching your videos even more. Screw all the haters and hate comments. You’re seriously killing it!

Jaclyn I’ve been following your channel forever.., and I think you are absolutely beautiful with more weight. You look super healthy and it suits you, you look gorgeous, honestly stunning with the with the way you currently are. ❤️

Look foward to watching these videos every week!! Love you girl. Keep on doing you!! 💛

When Jordan said "thank you so much" for the soup, you could tell he really meant it, especially after a long day at work. Soups are such a nice way to cook because you just throw nice things in a pot.

I resubscribed to you after a few years because of this series. I appreciate seeing this site of you- NEVER stop putting the work into yourself. I respect the shit out of you for putting yourself first sis. Love this and love you (again).

Mental tip that works for me: don’t weigh yourself everyday. I know it’s fun to see the number go down but you will naturally fluctuate a few pounds in weight everyday and looking daily can discourage you.
When I know I went out to eat the day before or enjoyed a few drinks or something, i avoid weighing myself, get back on track the next few days, and weigh myself then. Gotta be fair to yourself!

I love this journey so much! Please keep in mind that your weight WILL fluctuate. Try weighing yourself consistently. Like once every Wednesday. A tip I learned on my current journey! Love you Jaclyn!!

I can't wait for tomorrow!! I already know what I want the first round!! Javklyn you look so good, healthy and thin face!!

Re: the person who was in *your home* trying to wind you up about a snack you’re not longer eating because you’re trying to be healthy?! They need to be removed from the ‘acquaintance’ section and thrown out of the club.
That is SO unfair on you, and I’m proud of you for discussing it and not standing for that type of douchebag behaviour. ✨

First of all, your skin is glowing!! You look amazing and I can tell a huge difference from your progress photos. You go girl!!! Someone once told me on days where I didn’t see the scale move to use a tape measure and take my measurements- then about once per month redo those measurements and see how many inches you’ve lost. This has uplifted me on days I saw the scale go up. You are doing great and you got this - your recipes look incredible too!!!

I can tell shes losing weight and she looks amazing!!! Keep it up girl !!!!

Weight fluctuates! Don’t be discouraged if you go up in weight, I’ve lost almost 60 lbs and I still fluctuate between about 8lbs. It’s mostly water weight! You’re doing so great don’t give up!

Keep going girl!!! Amazing progress ❤️ much love

your weekly episodes of your journey are literally my highlight of the week 🥰 congratulations for your upcoming launch of Jaclyn Roxanne, i‘m praying for international shipping to Germany, i want to get my bling on 🙌🏼🌟

Reality is this girl! It is hard. It's not easy! I have to say, I love you even more the more real you are! Stay positive and real! You got this!!!

Your amazing!! Keep up the great Hun!!Your fans are so proud of you.👏👏👏

You're such an inspiration 🖤
Watching you in this series has literally motivated me soooo much! Thank you for being authentic and showing the ups and downs and inbetweens of what a health & weightloss journey really looks like

Wooooo new subscriber 💗 love this journey ! Also starting a weight loss journey and find these vlogs soooo relatable 💗

It’s so nice now that you are recording more. Just seeing the relationship between you and Jordan is so refreshing such genuine happiness. I’m so happy for you

Love these vids!! I lost 100lbs making small progressive changes, you got this. FYI for next time you cut onions: a wet paper towel next to the cutting board will do the trick to stop the crying 😊 xx

GIRL!!! You are looking great, keep up the good work and you will feel so much better!!!

I’ve been in the journey of losing the baby weight for the past 3 years… and finally I’ve been successful and after all of this time I’ve learned that 1st: the number doesn’t mean anything, 2nd: we women go through so many changes, for example, when we are about to get our periods, we gain weight (liquid retention) so do not weight yourself 1 week before, during and after your period. And 3rd: the only way to tell if you are losing weight or not it’s definitely how your clothes fit! That’s all!!!! Keep going you are doing a great job!

Jaclyn you are so inspiring! Keep up the great work , beautiful!!!!!

People don't want to see others bettering themselves! They want to keep you down in order to make themselves feel better. Keep doin you, hunay!

Love you Jaclyn!!!! Yes ma’am Proud of you!!! Thanks for these funny and vulnerable videos :-) ❣️❣️

I love watching these videos because we are the same age and I’ve started struggling with weight around the same time you did. And now I’m going on my own journey so watching you feels like I have a friend going there this with me. Love you girl.

You are amazing Jaclyn!! I look forward to these videos every week. I love these videos and I think you are lookin glowing INSIDE & OUT! Keep shining ✨

You are such an amazing, empowering woman! You always inspire me to get my ass up and slay!! So happy for your new adventure. Don’t ever change! Love you girlie!💗

When she said “when you’re stressed and all you want to do is eat.” I’m such a stress eater and it’s my biggest downfall for losing weight. 😑 I love how relatable Jaclyn is!

Weight fluctuation is totally normal. What matters is the trend of weight loss over a longer period of time. The day to day will fluctuate. You're doing a wonderful thing for yourself. Sending love

I really appreciate you putting yourself out there and being real. I’ve been struggling so much with my weight since COVID but feeling too crappy and lazy to put in the work to do something about it. But TODAY it starts-one meal at a time! Thanks so much for the push I need just by doing this for yourself.

Love seeing your progress!! Keep it up girl!

Keep on keeping on, you're looking gorgeous, stunning!!!!!! Here's a big long loving hug for you and all of you struggling with your weight and all that is🥰💔🥰
