The one thing I was told by my trainer a few years ago was "Consistency over intensity" and it was her telling me a 30 minute walk at 2.0 mph is better than nothing. So even on the days I don't want to push myself I just make a deal, I'll walk for 10 minutes, and then I can be done. Usually before the 10 mins is up I'm in the mindset and I want to do my full workout. It has helped me so much to realize SOME movement is better than nothing. And some days after those 10 mins I just stop because I mentally can't go on. But I did what I said I would and thats fine.

Oh how I missed Jaclyn’s Journey. We are our own worst critic when it comes to our bodies and appearance. You are such a resilient woman keep slaying your goals

I honestly love seeing you chatting and your fiancé just comes in and includes himself in your life and videos! It’s an awesome supportive thing he does!

I'm 25, turning 26 in a couple weeks and the things that's been working for me is first off focusing on my mental health and changing my mindset. I'm not doing it to "lose weight" I'm doing it to feel good. I had to learn to love my body as she is BEFORE I tackled anything! I try to do pilates 4-5 days a week and I find it's best cause while it is intense in the moment after I'm done I don't feel like I need to reward myself because my body isn't overly tired which helps with my consistency. If one day I'm REALLY not feeling it I do yoga! Also I don't weigh myself. I don't care what the scale says if I like what I see and if I truly feel good it really doesn't matter to me Good luck I'm so excited to see how you progress 💖

I haven’t weighed myself in over a year. I have just focused on my progress in the gym, how I’m feeling, and how my clothes are fitting. I have had to learn life is about moderation, for me personally I cannot cut out food I love completely or else I binge on them eventually. It’s just learning about yourself and being honest with what works for you. I also remind myself that since it took years to put on, it’ll take years to take off and I have really found peace with that. I was aiming to change my life, not the next 6 months.

I don’t like calling it “cheat days” or “cheating on my diet” cuz it gives it a negative connotation and makes me feel guilty afterwards. I’ve since tried to change it to “ fun foods” and “treat days” and I feel like it has helped a lot!

I love this for you Jaclyn, you are glowing. You were one of the people who motivated me to start my health and wellness journey. I started going to therapy in January, and started my weight loss journey end of May. I have suffered from extreme anxiety issues and binge eating problems. Changing your mindset and trying not to be hard on yourself is not easy. It took me a while, but since then I have lost 22 pounds by intermittent fasting, focusing on eating healthy, nutritious, clean food and exercising. I still have a long way ahead as I want to lose 40 more pounds. I love you and I hope you see my comment 😊❤

I’ve been watching you for so many years and I feel like I’ve never seen you this happy. I literally felt your energy through the screen. I’m so happy for you and so excited for this journey of yours. I know for sure that you’re going to do great. Ily ❤

One thing that always helped me ( down 25 lbs): saying to myself “it takes 1 pound to get to 5,10,15…however many” a small change is still a change and it matters!

I can see and feel a different energy from you. You seem very positive and motivated I can tell you have made a lot of progress in your mental health and it really reflects on your character. This has motivated me to continue on my journey in my physical and mental health. I’m so proud and so happy to see you in this new stage of your life and I can’t WAAIITTTT for your wedding day!!!! I’m a supporter since 2013. I’ve seen you in all the stages in your life and I can say that I can definitely see how far you have come! Thank you for always being honest and staying true to yourself and your supporters! Sending you love and positivity Jaclyn 💖✨

I want to say this is so inspiring! For someone who also struggles with their weight and a toxic relationship with food and confidence I LOVE your perspective. It’s not about the numbers it’s about the way you feel inside! ❤❤❤ thank you for being so open and sharing the things you struggle with! It helps more of us than you know!

You got this girl!!! I’m 48 and my weight started going up 2 years ago. I started working from home and just didn’t watch what I was eating. This summer I got tired of the way I looked and did something about it. I’ve been constantly loosing weight all summer with watching what I eat and working in my yard. I don’t do traditional workouts I just work in my yard. I just hope I can keep it off during the holidays.

that kelly green color is literally made for you. love these kinds of videos, so inspiring to just treat my body right!

It’s not cheating love! It’s living your life, and you’ll feel like you’re LIVING more and more if you have BALANCE! not so far left or right! You got this and we love you!

I have been watching your channel for years. I’m so glad that you’ve been opening up about your struggles because I’ve let myself go and get to a bad place over the last couple of years and have had no motivation to even go for walks, and eating healthy can get expensive. But seeing your journey makes me want to start working on being healthier mentally and physically.

My son just lost 121 pounds in 10 months. I’m so proud of him! ♥️He dropped the sugar and cardio and hit the weights instead and Bingo.. the weight started coming off in an insane way! He also drinks only water. He always says consistency key!! You go girl! I’m with you!

There is a nutritionist on UKposts (I am blanking on her name) that made a statement that really stood out to me. She said, It's not about what you should take away but about what you should add. For example: Want a bagel, have it, but what can you add to make it more satisfying/filling. Add fiber (greens), protein(eggs/meat), good fats(avocado) etc. I thought it was great advise.

Jaclyn! I am a Registered Dietitian and LOVE you and would GLADLY help you work towards your goals!!!!! It would honestly be an honor to help you.

I just love you, Jaclyn. Your videos have been a safe place for me for years. Feels like I’m hanging out with my bestie lol. Inspiring me to kick my health up a notch and start feeling better!

Dang!! I’ve never seen you this happy, like your energy is something else. I started my journey back in March and I have lost close to 60lbs (but I can’t see it, yet everyone else does) and we are our own worse critic. I’m doing lazy keto, but I mainly focus on my water intake and closing my rings on my Apple Watch. My “guilty pleasure” is zero sugar muscle milk chocolate.. It tastes like count chocula cereal (well drinking the rest of the milk in the bowl). I hate the damn scale!! Go with how clothing feels (down to an 18 from a 26) and I’m rooting for you! Xoxo

I’m so glad this series is back! I totally agree that you can love yourself but want to also feel good physically. Physical activity and eating nutritious foods does that for you and there’s absolute no shame in doing that for yourself! ❤

This was SO well articulated! It really isn’t about size, it’s about how you feel ❤️

I really needed this. I’ve been feeling so bad about my body as it’s changing and I’ve never experienced this at all before. But you definitely made me feel not crazy when you said that it’s not about what people tell you, it’s how you feel about it! So thank you ! Going through this journey with you girl, we are gonna smash it! 💪🏻❤️

So glad to see you doing well! I’ve found that I feel my best when I’m consistently going to bed and getting up early to get a workout in before my workday. It inspires me to make good choices throughout the day and puts me in a great mood

your journey is so relatable love that you share this!’

I realized a while ago that ‘wanting to want it’ and ‘wanting it’ was the big difference for me.. once you really truly WANT to make changes (vs. wanting to want to make changes), it’s so much easier to make shit happen 💕

so happy for your growth and comfort!! for me, listening to my body has been key-intuitive eating and exercising has really allowed me to get in alignment with myself and i have seen major results!!

I am obsessed with Jaclyns Journey, the whole of it, the entirety of your mentality changing throughout starting it. It's so honest and relatable

You can definitely tell in your face. The inflammation is almost gone! I am so proud of you. Keep up with the best of yourself.

I swear we are the same! It took me years of toxic cycles to finally learn how to have a healthy relationship with food, snacks, working out, alcohol, and measuring my body. My advice though is throw away that scale! I haven’t lost weight in three years but I have lost many many inches and have gone down four pants sizes. Weight means nothing, but progress photos are everything 😌

I totally get it! Thank you for being real with your journey and I can’t wait to see your progress. Your journey helps others and personally helps me because I feel the same way.

Great job on the video. I have always struggled with weight issues trying to gain enough weight with some people skinny shaming me, making me feel really depressed; it's tough. But I have been able to gain back most of the weight I wanted (muscle mass), still getting body shamed a bit, but not as much. You're an inspiration; your words are inspiring. Wishing you all the best on your journey. You got this. You're awesome!

so glad i have my push notifications on for you!! 🙌🏽 amazing to see so back here, but almost remember take all the time YOU need ❤️

YOU LOOK ABSOLUTELY STUNNING ! Thank you for sharing parts of your life with us. I've been a fan for a very long time and It's so cool to see what you've accomplished and what you are up too. Such an inspiration

Woooo I missed Jaclyn’s journey!! Cheers to getting fit, confident, and happy af 😃🎉🎉

OMGGG the comments you made about your mom - I feel to my core!!!! I literally felt the same way when my mom did that and I hated it but NOW I am literally her and say the same things to myself 😫

Your videos make me so happy 🥰 been watching you for so long, feels like I’ve grown up with you ♥️♥️

For me, it's about finding a fitness routine that I genuinely enjoy. I used to try to force myself to go to the gym and run on the treadmill and lift weights but I HATED it. I recently found pilates classes and found that I love the routine of getting out of the house for an hour and using body weight in the fun lil reformer machine. As you said, it's about finding things that you genuinely enjoy and not limiting yourself tooooo much! Love you Jaclyn - you look, BEAUTIFUL QUEEN!

Girl the change in you is truly amazing!! You are so happy and glowing and positive and I am soooo happy to see all the progress you’ve made 🥺🥺❤️❤️

This video was so relatable. Thank you for being so open and transparent on your health journey.

Jaclyn, I don’t think you realize how therapeutic it is for some of use to watch long form videos of you just talking about your life. Don’t stop yourself from posting something because you think people don’t care, we are here and WE CARE 💖🦋 I started watching your videos (10 y ago) when I was going through the process of leaving my high school early due to trauma and your videos brought so much peace and routine to my life. Watching your weekly videos was a ritual of sorts and IMY 🥰🥰

You're an inspiration for me! I've been a hot mess. I'm 25 & have been in this burnt out, not loving myself fully attitude for years. I got up to 200lbs (I'm 5'7") and just don't feel like myself! I haven't had my hair done in years, stopped brushing my teeth as much as I should, fixing my nails, and literally haven't done anything to my house. No decorations, nothing new..putting off projects that would make me happy. I got extremely burnt out. But I have been working on my mental health and am doing so much better but I need to push harder. I want to feel 25! I want to feel better. I'm thankful for having a husband who loves me and encourages me..he still tells me everyday how much he loves me and that he thinks I'm beautiful 😥 What helps me the most is my faith in God. It pulled me out of deep su**idal depression and is my reason for trying. I have a life, I need to make the best of it. Some people will take their last breath today.

Girl you’re awesome. Been following since day 1. Much love. I can’t remember what year it was but I remember back then you were filming yourself going to the gym and eating healthy and I remember wanting to do it with you but I wasn’t in the right place mentally. I am now and watching you go through this I’m excited to better myself with you. Just wanted to say you are helping so many ppl but filming this journey. Screw what other ppl say. You’re beautiful and successful. Ppl will say anything to make you feel some type of way. But Ive always looked up to you. Such a badass. Thank you for sharing your life. Gosh it can’t be easy but Im always here watching and learning from you. Love you girl you got this💚

Honestly 2 things that have helped me tremendously. 1. Don’t restrict yourself too much. Don’t over indulge but also don’t restrict so much you’re craving 2. Allow yourself a “cheat day” or “day off” but never more than 2 days in a row. It’s a starting point to keep you going! I’m always motivated but never stick to it long term, these things have helped me stay focused without feeling like I’ve failed. Keep going!! Don’t give up. And just remember if it didn’t work, just try again. It’s ok to restart. It’s not a race everyone’s success happens at a different pace.

I relate to this sooo much 😩 but it does get better! So glad you’re doing well!

I can relate to the weighing yourself piece. When I was in high school 9 years ago, I struggled with anorexia nervosa and would weigh myself after every time I ate. It was at least ten times a day and it got to the point where my parents would hide the scale so I couldn’t find it. I have not weighed myself for the past couple years because I know it’s a trigger of mine! You got this, girl!

I got a peloton plus one month ago and it has been life changing. It’s brought me so much joy even outside of feeling good workout wise emotionally I feel good. I love how positive the instructors are!

I TOTALLY get it!!!! When someone looked at me at my heaviest… they thought I looked great but I felt soooo uncomfortable. You do not have to justify yourself in this journey. It’s game time! Let’s go girl!

Food is medicine! As soon as I start eating like shit for several days, binge eating my emotions, I feel so so bad. Almost lethargic, 0 will to do ANYTHING, spiralling, IBS on fire, migraines….. so yeah, I feel you girl!!! It’s not always about being “skinnier”. The way you FEEL inside is so so important!

Thank you so much for sharing bc I literally felt like I was alone in that boat of wanting to make the change so bad but I’m always losing the battle with junk food 😭 so this makes so much sense. It’s not that easy to get your head and body aligned to lose weight and I kept hearing from everyone to just do it and get it done but it just brought more disappointments when I would fail and eat the junk.

I just went threw this and felt THE SAME WAY YOU DO!! I got back to the size I am now and I LOVE it because I feel like ME again.

Please post about your journey more often! You are such an inspiration to me and hearing about your journey is so relatable to how I feel everyday. I’ve never felt like I could relate to someone online more than I have with you. Sometimes it feels like you are a more fabulous and successful version of me. Which may sound weird, but I feel less alone in how I feel when I watch your videos.

I am so glad to have Jaclyn’s Journey back! Lots of us used alcohol to cope in the pandemic, and didn’t need AA to stop. I started limiting alcohol to weekends. People shaming anyone for trying to better themselves for themselves shouldn’t be listened to! You are doing great Jac!

As someone who suffers with PCOS and insulin resistance losing weight is hard. When you said that you love your heart and yourself and that you're a good person but you don't love your body, I felt that. That's so real. Every body is different ❤️ Thank you for these videos

so much love and prayers jaclyn, you’re doing so well and as a frequent follower i’m so proud of you!! get it girl❤️🖤

I’m sure so many people are not upset w you now that you’re so raw and genuine in these videos. I love these!

Love that your doing this with us Jaclyn!!! So many women feel the same way as you. I just had a baby and the weight just isn’t coming off like other women I know. I’m happy you talked about mental health with your weight loss journey. It’s a great spot to start for anyone wanting t loss weight.

So proud of u. I’m in the same boat. I’m mentally gone atm. When I take care of myself eat clean and work out it’s so hard but I feel my best. U are beautiful. You go this. We got this ❤. Bloom greens and organic with frozen fruit smoothies and collagen. All mixed together. ❤

I started back on birth control 6 months ago and all my weight loss progress had been lost. I feel so defeated. This is just what I needed! Thank you ❤️

I loved hearing you say what you like about yourself! I watched this while working out and it was so inspiring. Thank you ❤️

I have to say Jaclyn, even though you've just restarted your journey again, you look amazing! And I honestly think that tank top looks amazing on you! You beautiful thing!!! Xxx

You look amazing and keep up the great work! You’re going to look and be so SNATCHED for your wedding! Always remember “you’re doing great, you’re looking good and F!@K what everyone else thinks!” Love you 💚💚💚

This is how I feel 100000000% !!! I needed to see this video. I’m on this journey with you girl 💕

You’re inspiring! I’ve been a fan for years. I love your venerability and waiting to see you progress through this journey

I wish I had some tips but in all honesty I’m in the same boat with some things you said. When I see another woman that weighs the same as me, same body type as me, etc I have no problem seeing how beautiful they are and wanting to hype them up. But with myself it just isn’t there. I recently went to a nutritionist so I’m excited to see how things go. You’re beautiful! 💕

Ugh girl, I feel everything you said SO SO HARD. I’m heavier than I’ve ever been (had a rough few years dealing with infertility which caused weight gain, but currently I’m 32 weeks pregnant) and I just got done telling my husband that I can’t wait to get back on track! I’m just not comfortable right now (I wasn’t prior to getting pregnant either) and I’m so excited to start feeling good! 💛 Can’t wait to see your journey!

Hey boo! Last summer i trained super hard and lost 20lbs. Then Winter hit and I caught Covid during Christmas. Depression decided to visit and all that weight came back smh Over the last month I’ve been slowly getting back to it. But this time with a different mindset. Being kind to myself has been a huge key in keeping me going. What you said about doing this to feel good is so true sis! When we nurture our bodies we heal our hearts. I’m on this journey with you boo! We got this! ❤️

I needed this so bad. Thank you for making me not feel so alone ily♥

When I first started eating healthier someone told me “if you eat like crap you’re going to feel like crap” I finally learned that lesson the hard way and now I have that mindset. Anytime I start to eat something that I know I shouldn’t I tell myself that and it helps detour me away from those unhealthy things. Please share your fiber smoothie in one of your next videos!!

Myself, my daughter and many of my friends have done Neurobiofeedback. It's amazing. It's awesome hearing that it's becoming more well known.

I loved this video Jaclyn! So happy and excited for you. Thank you for sharing your journey with us xxxx

Girl I’m with you!! I got married a year ago and felt so amazing around that time but I really fell off the wagon after that. Honeymoon combined with vacation at Christmas, working from home etc etc and being so happy I just gained weight and felt like garbage. I recently got off the pill too and my hormones are so outta whack. Finally started spinning again after three years so I am going on this journey with you! I’m also a total foodie but I’ll find ways to make the bomb food with a healthy spin. So happy and proud of you!

Jaclyn, I’m a 2023 bride and I can’t tell you how bad I needed this video. Recently in the past year I’ve gained some weight.. Trying on wedding dresses was something I’ve always dreamed about but I spent the whole time looking at my stomach in the mirror and hating my body in the dresses… I’m so ready to get healthy together 💕

You look so refreshed 😍

I love this! I am on a weight loss journey myself and this is such an inspiration. When you said you could make an excuse every single day, I totally felt that ! I have been doing it for such a long time and you have inspired me to stop making excuses and JUST START! We are all going to be on this journey together, lets make it the best journey of our lives ! So grateful 🤍

Thank you for being open with us yet again! We need more people like you in this world. You help people when you open up like this. Go girl.

I feel exactly the same as you in so many ways. My mind is finally focused to change. If I don’t like what I see, I’m going to change it! Let’s lose weight together! Let’s gooooooo!!!!!

At 22 I found myself having a very bad relationship with food I was 200lb when all my life I was never over 150lb. I dropped 40lb and I thought there’s no way I am gaining it back. Now I am 24 and weight 210lb. My anxiety has contributed with me always finding comfort in food. It’s something that I have been working on for a long time. My doctor recently told me that I was pre diabetic and there was still time to improve my health before it got out of hand. I am 24 now and I feel like I put my body through hell, I have plans in hopefully becoming a mom soon and now more than ever I want look and feel my best. The first time around I would get 8-10 hours of sleep every night if possible and that helped me loss weight quicker.

I love you so much and believe in you! I’m also on a health journey and cannot wait to see your amazing results! 💕

Congradulations Jacyln! Sounds like you have so much more balance in your life. I can really see the difference in your face, I am so happy for you

I love this whole Jaclyn’s journey; feel like it’s the most relatable I’ve felt with a influencer. Always struggled with my weight and my journey to loose weight; for the life of me could not seem to shed a pound; in fact I’m still the same weight when I first began years ago; and I’ve come to realize a lot of my journey was my mental health. Was brought up thinking I needed to be rail thin like the models in the 90s and that the smaller you were the more beautiful you are and it took a lot to realize the scale belongs in the trash; and at my age I have a woman’s body; no longer a child. Still try to keep toned but changing my mental health about my physical appearance was the biggest help I could have given myself.

That color and tank top look amazing on you. I can’t wait for the day when you see it too ❤️

Missed this girl! You look amazing and I’m so glad you’re doing it for you and your health.

I love how you've reframed this journey for yourself. That's so hard and you're doing it! Ultimately, a health journey is about feeling good and I'm happy to see you're leading with that. xo

You got this Jac!! My “thing” is my protein smoothie that I have every morning, I feel off balance if I don’t have it. I was struggling with regular constipation and have not since I’ve introduced this smoothie. It’s coconut water, berries, vanilla yoplait light and fit yogurt, spirulina powder, kale and spinach, chia seeds, and Isopure 0 carb protein powder. I get the unflavored one so I can make it taste like whatever I want. It’s literally 2 ingredients and 25g protein, you can get it on Amazon. Altogether this smoothie has about 40g of protein! Keeps me full for hours and helps me hit my protein goal which is crucial when you’re lifting weights. Let me know if you try it :)

Jaclyn, I’m so glad to see you are doing well after everything that has happened in your personal life! ❤️

Omg I missed Jaclyn’s journey so much! I get soooo much motivation with your videos because the last year I gained sooo much wait since starting nursing school… i been so stressed and anxious! I need to start taking care of myself and you motivate me so much! Love you!

I love your energy and enthusiasm! Thank you for being you!!

She nailed it! One of my biggest issues is seeing women who are bigger than me and thinking they look SO good! I admire their positivity, and their self-love....but then wonder why i cant do the same for myself and its heartbreaking.

I started my fitness journey when I was 225 pounds and now I’m at 177 pounds. It’s taking a lot of physical work but also a lot of mental and emotional growth for me to understand that I’m never going to look like fitness models in magazines And that I’m beautiful just how I am. Since I was a kid I would always hear other women put other people down and comment about their clothes and weight and even had my own family discuss my weight and it was always in the negative light. It really had an emotional toll on me being brought down by my own family and how I looked. I’ve always been the type of girl to praise other women and appreciate how they look and I am the same way they could be eight sizes bigger than me and I think they’re the most beautiful women but when I look in the mirror I don’t see that. I think a lot of that has come from me believing people closest in my life and what they’re saying about who I am as a person on the outside. During these past eight months losing weight I’ve really had to alter the way that I think about myself and understand that not only am I beautiful but my soul is also beautiful because I don’t ever put women down and I don’t ever nitpick how they look because at the end of the day I believe everyone is beautiful in their own way. And you can be the prettiest girl in the room with the ugliest character at the end of the day that doesn’t make you the prettiest girl it’s what’s on the inside that counts and how you treat people and how you respect them that matters. No one talks about mother Theresa‘s looks or how she dressed they talked about how she was as a person and what she did for people and how she helped them and if we can all focus on loving other people and accepting them for who they are we would have a lot less mental health issues in women and how they view themselves. So at the end of the day your fitness journey should start with altering your mental and emotional reflection on yourself. I hope that you can learn to see yourself as beautiful just like most of us believe about you but also remember that you’re one of those women that should be encourage and lift it up in your own eyes. Surround yourself with people who will always encourage you and tell you how beautiful you are because what other people say about you has a really big impact on how you feel so try not to listen to people who can cast of negative light on the reflection of yourself

So excited to follow you on this journey!! Been here since the beginning. You will always be my favorite!!! Love you girly.

It’s pretty sad that people have to be judgmental or critical when a person chooses to share truths about themselves! This is why people have to go into protection mode and I don’t blame you Jaclyn. Truth is this, I really Thank You and truly appreciate that video bc it’s helped me on my journey. Lets ALL remember, “Let he who is without faults cast the first stone.” Please people, be more loving, you’ll have less stress, a healthier heart, less chance of getting cancer and you’ll just be happier in general. 💗

I just freakin love you, Jaclyn. You’re incredible. You’ve got this. We just want you to be healthy and happy. Sending all the love & support 🤍

I love the idea of making sacrifices to stay on track. The way you put it as "I will stay home by myself and take care of myself" is a really good way to put it. That has been my downfall with so many things when trying to stay on track with eating and not drinking as much alcohol. I always feel like "well I can't hurt my friend's feelings and not go to her/his event!". But when there is some kind of event or celebration EVERY weekend, it makes it impossible to stay on track and at some point, I just need to stop worrying about everyone else and start taking care of myself and setting healthy boundaries.

You always inspire me, keep it up girl. We need this positive REAL outlook

Stop shaming and hiding yourself or waiting until your comfortable! People always say "you are so confident, you can pull anything off" my secret is- I really am not and I really am not sure if I can. I just do! Be kind to yourself and focus on making better choices instead of cutting out the things that make you happy. Thank you so so much for being open and sharing your insecurities. Sometimes we just need to know we aren't alone 💓

CLICKED SO FAST!! Hi Jaclyn!! Prayers for you hope y’all are doing much better!! It’s go time!!! 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼

This video absolutely speaks volumes to me!!! Like you I also lift up other women “bigger than me” yet HATE what I see in the mirror!! Being confident in your own skin is key .. I cannot wait to walk along your journey with you… YOUR AN INCREDIBLE inspiration!!! Thank you for all your videos!!!❤

you inspire me to be better and I’ve always admired you! you are ALWAYS gorgeous and so happy for you and jordan!!!❤️❤️❤️

Lately I’ve been watching Jaclyn’s videos from 6+ years ago. I miss the white, crisp backgrounds, with the red hair!! (OG’s will know!) just makes me want to go back in time. A chilly day in October, fall candles and a “my fall favorites” video, will always be my favorite past time. I need it in my life again. Jaclyn can you buy a red wig and take us back?!? 😭
