Her Weight-Loss Video Went Viral On TikTok. Here’s What She Learned.
>>> GOOD MORNING. >>> GOOD MORNING. AN INCREDIBLE TRANSFORMATION ON TIKTOK, HER WEIGHT LOSS VIDEO WENT VIRAL WITH 12 MILLION VIEWS. TAKE A LOOK AT THIS. >> IT WAS LAST NOVEMBER WHEN CERTIFIED FITNESS TRAINER LUCY BERGEN STARTED RECORDING HER WEIGHT LOSS TAKING A DAILY IMAGE OF HERSELF WEARING THE SAME OUTFIT AND SHE DID IT TO INSPIRE HERSELF TO GET HEALTHY. SHE DID IT FOR SIX MONTHS AND LOST A TOTAL OF 35 POUNDS. AND THEN, SHE POSTED IT TO TIKTOK, AND THE REST, WELL, THE REST IS DIGITAL HISTORY.
LUCY BERGEN JOINS US NOW FROM TAMPA, FLORIDA. LUCY, WHAT A COOL IDEA. AND NOW HERE WE ARE, SOME 12 MILLION VIEWS LATER, AND YOU ARE SHOWING UP ON GOOD DAYS, AND BAD DAYS, WHAT WERE YOU TELLING YOURSELF WHEN YOU WERE LOOKING IN THE MIRROR TAKING THOSE PICTURES, TAKING THOSE VIDEOS? >> WHAT WAS I TELLING MYSELF? I KEPT TELLING MYSELF IT WAS A SHORT-TERM GOAL, IT WAS A DIET, IT WAS A LIFESTYLE CHANGE. THAT WHATS SO IMPORTANT. AND I LOVE THIS VIDEO BECAUSE IT SHOWS MY BAD DAYS. IT SHOWS THE DAYS I WAS FLOATING OR YOU CAN EVEN SEE IN MY FACE IF I HAD A ROUGH DAY.
AND THAT WHAT LIFE IS. ITS NOT ABOUT GOING ON A DIET AND TRYING TO LOSE 20 POUNDS IN A WEEK. ITS NOT ABOUT THE WEIGHT. ITS ABOUT YOUR MENTAL HEALTH. AND YOU CAN SEE IN THIS VIDEO, ALSO, ITS LITTLE CHANGES AT THE TIME. I DIDN’T EVEN NOTICE MY TRANSFORMATION UNTIL I PUT EVERYTHING TOGETHER. >> I BET. SO THIS ALL STARTED LIKE FOR SO MANY PEOPLE GAINING WEIGHT DURING COVID, PUTTING ON A FEW EXTRA POUNDS. AND OVER SIX MONTHS, YOU LOST 35 POUNDS. HOW DID YOU DO IT? WHAT WERE YOUR TIPS? WHAT ADVICE DO YOU HAVE FOR OTHERS TRYING TO LOSE SOME WEIGHT? >> ALL RIGHT. SO MY BIGGEST PIECE OF ADVICE WOULD BE TO GET A FRIEND OR SOMEONE THAT YOU CAN HAVE ACCOUNTABILITY WITH.
MY BEST FRIEND AND I DO IT TOGETHER AND WE KEEP EACH OTHER ACCOUNTABLE. AND SO BECAUSE OF THAT, WE WERE ABLE TO ALMOST MAKE A CHALLENGE OUT OF IT. AND WHEN IT COMES TO THAT, IT HELPED ME. AND THEN WHEN IT COMES TO DIET AND WORKING OUT, I WAS LIFTING HEAVY AT FIRST. AND EATING CASH CARBS, PROTEINS, THINGS LIKE THAT. IN THE FITNESS WORLD, WE ARE TAUGHT ESPECIALLY AS WOMEN THAT WE SHOULD BE EATING 1200 CALORIES OR EVEN LESS.
I HAD CLIENTS COME TO ME SAYING THEY EAT BACKGROUND 5005 ING ABOUT 500 CALORIES A DAY THAT SLWHICHDOWN YOUR METABOLISM. AND YOU NEED A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF CALORIES TO HAVE YOUR BODY FUNCTION PROPERLY. JUST LIKE YOU NEED TO PUT GAS INTO A CAR FOR IT TO RUN, YOU NEED TO HAVE FUEL IN YOUR BODY FOR YOUR BODY TO BURN FAT. >> LUCY, I WOULD THINK WHEN YOU WORK — A LOT OF US SEE THESE TRAINERS, AND THEY ALL BUFF AND THEY IN GREAT SHAPE. I THINK IT WOULD BE MORE INSPIRATIONAL TO BE WORKING OUT WITH SOMEBODY LIKE YOU WHO HAS HAD THE CHALLENGES THEMSELVES AND KNOWS WHAT IT’S LIKE FOR THE REST OF US TO TRY TO GET BACK INTO SHAPE.
>> YES, SIR. THAT ACTUALLY — I WORKED AT A GYM IN NEW JERSEY AND I SPECIFICALLY CHOSE THAT GYM BECAUSE I KNEW THAT EVERYONE COMING TO ME WAS BRAND NEW TO THE FITNESS WORLD. AND I CAN’T TELL YOU THE AMOUNT OF CONVERSATIONS I WOULD HAVE WITH THESE AMAZING PEOPLE WHO WOULD COME IN AND THEY WOULD GIVE ME THEY’RE WHY, THEIR REASON WHY THEY WANTED TO CHANGE. I MEAN, I HAD PEOPLE TELLING ME THAT THEY WANTED TO DO IT, FOR EXAMPLE, FOR THEIR CHILDREN OR TO BE ABLE TO FIT INTO A PAIR OF JEANS FOR THEIR HONEYMOON. AND THESE REASONS, YOU COULD TELL THEY WERE SO SPECIAL TO EVERY INDIVIDUAL THAT WOULD COME IN AND TALK TO ME. AND I SAT AND CRIED WITH SOME OF THESE PEOPLE BECAUSE I’VE BEEN THERE. AND IT IS SO HARD FOR YOU TO GET STARTED ON THIS JOURNEY WHEN YOU THINK THAT YOU ARE TOO FAR GONE. >> LUCY, THANK YOU. THIS HAS BEEN SO INSPIRATIONAL. CONGRATULATIONS TO YOU..
