April Lauren / April Lauren Wilson Brown / Wakeupbright - Fake positivity, pedostache husband. Voted fatty most likely on the verge of her Stepford Wife robot programming malfunctioning

[Azovka]

Not a double post since there’s been comments in between, but I simply have to share this pic here. She used it in her own thumbnail, but it made me laugh that this is the pic the deka account chose too. (That’s her doing a lunge btw).

As we mentioned before, last week April uploaded a video of her participating in a DEKA challenge - basically functional fitness exercises.

Copied from my post on the FA thread:
It took her 38 minutes to do the DEKA. And she had to pause between every challenge to catch her breath and drink her protein shake too, when the goal is to go as fast as possible. Can you believe it's been over a year since she's started working out full time? Truly, what an impressive performance.

And yeah, that medal means nothing given how modified her DEKA was. It's more of a participation trophy. The 10 challenges were: the lunges, the box step up, the rowing, the medicine ball situps, the ski erg, the farmers' carry, the bike, the medicine ball shoulder overs, the burpees, and the trolley push / pull.

Not even half way through, she states in her voice over that "unfortunately for me, having modified my lunges and the step ups until this point, it made the things that I normally do well and do easily significantly harder". Am I missing something? I do not understand this sentence. How is changing the previous exercises to make them way easier impacting her med ball sit ups in a negative manner? On the contrary, she should be breezing through it, right?

"I was gassed, and this is when it set in that maybe I haven't prepared as much as I could've". Gee, no way, April. I'm pretty sure I've watched all of her vlogs with more or less interest, but I guess I missed the part where she did any preparation whatsoever for the DEKA challenge.

It's actually sort of maddening in the sense that she could be so much more successful on YT if she took her "fat to fit" journey seriously.

When I first saw her in the FA thread I thought to myself oh she’s trying hard this is kinda mean (am a softie at heart) but there’s definitely something up with her. I always look for her updates in the big thread
Hope it makes it out of here!

@Azovka Excellent recap!

Another thing to note is that a big reason April isn't losing weight is that she's eating too much and can't stop fucking stuffing her face. Nor is she honest about it.

She goes on fitness challenges, does these one mile walks, and makes a big show of "working out" as a distraction from the fact that she continues to eat too much. One day, she'll say she's calorie counting, but a couple days later claim she's only counting 2-3 days a week, and then later say she's not counting but just "making healthier choices." Her latest ploy has been suggesting she simply take photos of her food as a means of tracking. Sometimes, her husband will do the counting for her when they meal prep together, or she'll buy premade food with the calories already figured out, but she completely resists doing it herself. It's incredible how she remains so ambiguous about her food intake, even through her lack of progress.

I am not able to add this to my previous post, but I’ve noticed with several of the FA ladies that they feel like just buying the products will make the thing happen. Not accounting for all the work you have to do. Buy workout clothes? A weird water gallon bottle ? Other fancy gadgets? Yeah ok, they’re nice to have but the objects themselves don’t make you lose weight

And you'd be right. This is less of something that would go in the OP than actual thread content, but here are some of her "hauls".

I like how this is coming together, I noticed some videos in the OP need archiving, but I am happy how quickly it is coming together.

Oh but she wasn't losing weight because it was scientifically proven that she wasn't eating enough calories according to some dodgy military base body composition and metabolic rate testing centre. The result showing she was only carrying 24lb of excess fat....all the rest was "healthy fat". Her resting metabolic rate was 2525 calories a day so the plan was to increase her calories to that number and the difference between that and her TDEE would give her a safe weightloss. Must be about time she went back for a repeat of the tests, but I suspect, given her results, that she must have broken the machines.
The video in question

Chikara Transformations has been on April's case for many months, calling out her obvious blatant lies regarding her consumption and her exercise claims. There's bad blood there on both sides. I had no idea that April's subs had climbed to 75k in such a short time...something I have no doubt is very grating to our overly competitive body builder and online fitness coach.

@JamalActimel helped grab one of them, but my grabber is crapping out ~5 minutes into any video.
If anyone else has a functional grabber and can do it, please let me know and I'll add them.

Awesome, I just know from helping with the Darrick Dishaw thread that archiving as you go makes it so much easier and saves you the headache that comes from doing it all at the end.

 

[NOT Sword Fighter Super]

Lol, why did she even publish that picture of herself in the pink whatever that is?
She doesn't even have her eyes open.

PS: she used to be cute.

 

[Captain Ahab]

It’s a privilege to embark on this journey with you, gentlemen. To 1,000 pages and beyond!

I wonder what will climb faster. The page count or her weight.

 

[The Lychee Queen]

Oh, excellent! I'll contribute some write-ups later this week, maybe tomorrow, maybe a bit later. Our very own April thread! I'm just tickled.

I can go more in-depth with the Chikara feud, and delve into the relentless toxic positivity. Oh joy.

 

[440088]

Finally! Get the fuck out of the fat acceptance thread so I can post random fatties on tiktok for stickers in peace!
Just kidding. Good job girls. I look forward to reading this thread.
Also; looking at those thin pics of April makes me shook every time - jesus fuck obesity has did a number on her.

 

[Captain Ahab]

I had no idea she used to be normal. I’m so used to fatties being fatties their entire lives. I was wondering why an average looking (barring the middle-aged accountant hair and pedostache) man would go for a significantly older piggy, but I guess it makes sense. She used to look like every generic white girl you see at Starbucks. I can certainly see the appeal.

I feel bad for him. A traditional Mormon fag like him, I doubt he’ll ever divorce her. He’s gonna be stuck with that piggy till Lord Beetus (praise be) relieves him of his burden. If she ever gives him a child, it’s like a 50-50 chance one of her rusty, mangled eggs will grow into a tard on the spectrum. A fat wife and a Redditor son. Living the American dream.

Not so sure about that, worst case scenario in Mormon heaven when he gets his own planet, he will be stuck with her for all eternity. The way she acts, I honestly couldn't imagine spending an hour with her let alone an eternity and in charge of a planet.

 

[Artificial Baits]

Definitely a great start but I can think of some more things that make her a bit more cow worthy that should be covered.

I think it would be also worth incorporating her being adamant to never cheat on her diet, that she doesn't get cravings, she only shows herself to eat healthy fitness foods and her doing 75 hard. During 75 Hard she ate out daily despite this being against the rules and she also *almost* cheated on her diet by eating some oatmeal but it exploded in the microwave, so she didn't (LOL). This can be found in the #oatmealgate video.

She also nukes any form of negativity from her channel and is therefore absolutely incapable of receiving any criticism or feedback that is not ass-pattery.

The video where she got her metabolism tested and was told she is basically healthy at a swelt 260lbs and should eat around 3300 calories a day is also pretty hilarious. I don't know how to achieve and I imagine that has been achieved already in the Fat Acceptance thread, but that particular video is an insight in to the delusional world she has created for herself. She believed that losing an additional 30lbs would make her healthy and she should be eating 3300 calories to "fuel" her extremely intense exercise routine. However ,she decided to stick to 2500 instead and has been gradually gaining since then. (ninja'd by @I call shenanigans )

Her workouts are totally retarded also, thinking she will burn 7-800 calories from waddling along for an hour to do a mile and doing weird body weight circuits with burpees she is unable to complete with any decent form. In fact, most of her workouts are lacklustre and performed with terrible form, yet she believes herself to be like Tia Clair Toomey doing super intense WODs. Most of these are 20 minute circuits that normal people would do as a warm up.

She also has two morbidly obese, beautiful German Sheppard's that she doesn't exercise, unless she get's called out by Ilona and then suddenly she is walking them in every vlog. I believe she doesn't like walking them because one was attacked and she cannot handle both at the same time (I am not 100% sure on this though). Regardless, her dogs are as fat as her and she has no excuse to not exercise them properly because walking is her main form of exercise and she is at home all day long

Finally, she seems to be completely reluctant to do the one thing she needs to do on her "journey to lose 200lbs" and that is track her food properly. She writes down arbitrary numbers in a notebook that are pulled from thin air, she is rarely seen to actually weigh anything out and doesn't seem to want to track her food intake because of a fear of getting an eating disorder. April can only eat whatever she wants without tracking and pray to the gods that results in weightloss, or eat 1200 calories - there is no middle ground of eating a bit more calories but actually tracking everything she sticks in to her mouth.

Not sure if any of this is Ninja'd, I will edit accordingly after posting

Can't get ninja-ed if I just drop this above with some edits.

 

[Permuto]

I'm doing the 100 head art challenge, so I'm drawing all sorts of interesting faces and I feel like April's face is both disturbing and fun enough to draw. She really has crazy eyes.

 

[Lucille's Brands]

I know Lychee Queen has a Chikara run down in the works, in the meantime, here's her April Lauren reacts. I'll check I've them all tomorrow.
Chikara gets anywhere from 1k to 5k views on non reaction videos. Her ALR reactions are probably her best earner, but April's a good earner for her, too.
In Chikara's April reactions, the usual take is that April isn't honest with her audience and is overeating, while insisting she never get cravings, never binges, etc.
One of Chikara's reactions, I think it was 'BodyBuilder Reacts to April Lauren's Q&A - Slow Weight Loss FINALLY Makes Sense' two months ago, April showed that she tracked her food by writing the calories down in a notebook, she didn't mention weights or quantities, so most likely it was guesswork. She doesn't use my fitness pal or similar, cause she is concerned about privacy - says the woman who uploads half her life on youtube, instagram etc.
Chikara pointed out without weighing and tracking properly, people do grossly underestimate what they've consumed in the day.
Long story short, finding a hole in April's insistence that she's doing everything by the book really piqued Ilona's interest, and the reactions have ramped up since. April admitted to tracking two days out of five, constantly eating out etc since, which further proved Chikara right.
From what I can see, there's few reactions to April. Madzie has done sporadic ones, but I think Chikara is the only reaction channel doing semi regular uploads, calling April out on her bull.

Spoiler: Tiffany Grey/April marketing

Tiffany Grey has a very interesting video on April and other influencers, timestamped at the April section.
Basically, Tiffany points out April's previous gym marketing experience, and use of same to promote herself as a weight loss success story, without getting the results.
April has shown downloadable workout plans like 'Fit-you-ary', which look like they're straight off of Pinterest, and include 'do yoga with April lauren'. This is directing the workout plan user to her 'April Lauren Yoga' youtube channel, which has one video. While April does have some yoga qualifications, following her weightloss journey, and doing exercise she creates, are two very different things.
Tiffany pointed businesses spend time and money choosing their 'graphics standard'. This is the signature graphics, primary and accent fonts, and colours they use to promote themselves.

Here's the font used from the gym she worked at -


The font she uses in her thumbnails -



Both together, top is April, bottom the gym.



That's a trivial, but damning detail, I think.
April continues to use other's information and expertise to LARP as a fitness influencer. She's forever proud of herself, while not getting any significant results, weightloss wise.
At best, she's not transparent and honest with her audience, at worst she's making money from sponsorship, merchandise etc, while never practicing what she preaches.
I started watching her after her interview with obese to beast too. It took me several months watching to realise she wasn't doing what she said she was. Plenty of comments in Chikara's videos show the same experience.

Tiffany's videos -

Archive

Specifically on April, her controlling her audience response, likeability, hyper positivity, etc.

Archive -

Both Chikara and Tiffany Grey have been blocked on Instagram by April, so April might not ever acknowledge them by name, but she absolutely knows who they are.

I've archived the first two YouTube videos in the OP. Do I just drop them in a reply here?

Chikara's videos -



A couple of my favourite clips of 'the hubs' filming April 'waking up a bit duller' -

Her insistence on addressing haters regularly, but not specifically, doesn't add up, either.
If Kenny googles his wife, there's no negative hits. Other than here, I don't see her discussed on the usual forums. Unless she's inundated with negative comments/DMs on her social, I don't see what hate she's getting. Unless they count the constructive critism of a couple of youtube reaction channels.
April's supposed to be doing vlogmas, and it's now 3 days since she's uploaded, 4 days since get last community post. No uploads is definitely not Chikara related..

Edited to add - my favourite screen grab, shared by a farmer on the FA thread.
That's her, glaring at Kenny, like it's his fault that she decided to go to a public track and waddle a mile, wearing what looks like a bulletproof vest, carrying two 5lb weights.
The weights cocked on the hips, though. Lol. Lunacy.
