My close friend and once roommate was morbidly obese, he had to work out for surgery to prove that he was serious about it, he’s now a healthy weight and even beat cancer. He’s my bro and a warrior.
that sounds epic! your mate seems to be awesome.
Absolute Win.
That's great. And that's how it should be. It's very risky, so it's important to check out if people are serious about it. I knew a guy, he was 180kg. That's around 400 pounds. He didn't need surgery, he just walked. 100% Forrest Gump style. Within 10 months, he lost around 80kg. So over 180 pounds. Walked a marathon per day. Totally insane, but he just did it 🤷♂️
He is aiming for 90kg, so 200 pounds, but with a lot of muscle mass. Totally crazy what can happen in just a year 🤷♂️
@@leonnunhofer3453 Wow i have same story :D I started at 140kg by controlling portions mainly (yes i still occasionally eat something "unhealthy" but like two cookies and not whole bag) and fast pace walking at least 10km (6.21371 mile) every day and iam now at 97kg after 7 months.
She just got told she has to wait a year because she won't admit she binges
29:30 Obesity is a debuff lowering your resistances, stamina and speed, applied as penatly for imbibing too many healing potions. To get rid of the debuff you must lower your potion intake for a long time while playing the game. If you reach morbid obesity you gain an additional penalty in form of a slow dot applied to your character, draining your health over time.
Lmao
Incredible. Might actually work on a few people in this community lol
finally, someone who speaks English
Unfortunately, the most meta way to counter the slow drain to hp is with a slow gain to hp in the form of Spirit buffs from food items.
It's not all bad, you get a massive buff to your maximum HP and physical damage resistance to compensate for the weakness to diseases, speed and stamina debuff
For her to gain 12.8lbs in one week while already being over 500lbs would require a minimum of 60,000 calories... that is a truly impressive amount of food
How is that even possible. Yoi would have to be eating pizza literally 24 7.
@@0x_hackerfren Pizza may not even be high calorie enough. I'm thinking more like eating mayo and cheese. Fried food, covered in cheese, dipped into mayo where you eat more mayo than the food you dipped in.
Consuming 60,000 calories isnt hard if you have a history of excessive or "closet" eating. Ive been on a stict calorie deficit which involves no added/unnecessary sugar and 0 carbohydrates. Ive lost close to 30lbs in a month. Since ive began i read nutrition labels and i was apauled by how much sugar is in food, especially in the U.S.
My issue wasnt that i was eating bad all day, but i was eating bad in a single sitting, telling myself that eating one meal a day is healthier. That couldnt be further than the truth.
@@0x_hackerfrenthere is a chocolate like Nutella I love it, it's like 1000calories you eat the whole thing don't even feel full and it tadtes good af haha😅
Probably a ton of alcohol consumption
Fun fact: The average African Elephant weighs 200-250 pounds when born and drinks more than 20 gallons of milk per day!
I haven't gotten through the video, but Asmon made a comment that you won't see anybody 90 years old and obese in a retirement home.
I work in a retirement home. He's right. There was one guy that got close, but passed due to heart problems in our facility.
i heard the pay in retirement homes are pretty good now although the work is far from pretty, and you can branch off into becoming a nurse for even more dosh
They wouldnt even take you, imagine the feeding cost
@@wujekstalin1 You almost touched on another point: Even if there were initially an obese 90-year-old in a retirement home, they wouldn't let him continue eating that much. He probably wouldn't be obese for long, thus no obese 90-year-old.
My father always told me, "Boy, theres a lot of skinny old men, not a lot of fat ones."
The line is actually from a House MD episode where Foreman says "you don't see many elderly fat people", i'm sure the sentiment or the idea of it has been around longer tho but the sayin itself i'll always attribute to House lol
Imagine you live your life hating yourself and never being popular and then you get hundreds of thousands of subscribers and a bunch of money exactly for doing the thing you shouldn't. This is also a story about how social media can be absolutely destructive. What this girl needs the most is not a diet, it's a psychotherapist.
A therapist and, if she can in a healthy way, turn off the internet. Listen to a good therapist or a good friend and don’t listen to what everyone else says. Learn why being morbidly obese is bad instead of just hearing how fat you are from random people online.
But social media was also her source of income. Yes it's destructive, but turn it off and do what? Starve?
She needed both, tbh.
@@dmt472 Starving is a great idea. If only she can follow that advice.
@@dmt472 turn it off and find a job I’ve seen people bigger than her working as door greeters and stuff before
I was close to 235 lbs of bad weight, lost close to 70 lbs and now I'm hovering between 160-170
I do believe it's a mental issue, not believing in yourself, lacking confidence, and truly being disciplined.
It's a struggle knowing that if I just allow my indulgences, it'll be an issue again.
I applaud anyone trying to start their physical health journey.
Stay strong folks, you got this.
It's definitely discipline. I'm stocky and strong as shit and need to be for my job, when I took it, I was well over 300 lbs. 18 months later I'm 275, actually eat well because I can't work if I feel like shit, and have gone from obese as fuck to gym teacher vibes. Kinda chubby, but also built like a brick shit house. It's nice to be able to breathe again and I can't believe what a piece of shit I was as far as diet discipline.
Recently did the same thing 5 months ago its all about discipline and accountability for as many fat men you’ll see times it by three for all the women in the US and UK and that will roughly explain why we have an obesity problem for over 20 years
I went from 295 as a high school senior to 185 and then back up to 220 I feel the struggle haha
Insane, i also weighed 235 and now weigh about 165, and everything you said is legit about how much of a difference it makes
Good for you bro
As a paramedic I can confirm at least in my experience that I have never seen a 500+lb patient over age 50.
she didnt become morbidly obese, she started morbidly obese on youtube
She started off healthy and happy and now has doubled her health and happiness.. get with the times dude
@@phelmonk9502her youtube debut was at 386lbs 🙄
@@phelmonk9502 idk bout health but she certainly got double
@@phelmonk9502 i wouldn't call someone who said she that the last time she was under 300lbs was when she was at age 11, at 290lbs, healthy
@@SkankyNugget I see you bro.. these are some dark times lol
As someone who started losing weight around september last year (started at 275, now 212) I can confirm some people actually do watch the fat acceptance stuff as weight loss motivation. The thought that I could become one of them if I continued to let my weight slip was scary.
Same (lost 25 pounds in the same timeframe, so not as much as you, but great job man! Or woman) I think that treating overweight as a problem is a good thing, at the same time as not belittling people who are overweight.
Im fat :(
The obese acceptance movement is a cancer on this country
Good work dude. Keep it up and remember when you hit your desired weight, you still have to be disciplined. It’s a life style change, not just a journey.
Same same but different. I watch them to learn about the unhealthy habits that I might be over looking in my own life. Then fitness videos for weight loss motivation.
I do believe people use her as motivation, whenever my life with 600lb was on tv it would scare the shit out of me and im not even fat.
Yeah, it's a deterrent really. The old saying "There are lots of old people and lots of obese people, but you rarely see an old and obese person."
I appreciate your ability to be entertaining while talking about a touchy subject like this while still coming off with empathy. I always enjoy it when you talk about your mom even if it might be difficult. It seems like she's a big part of you turning into the legitimately kind and caring person you are today.
I absolutely love how offended and defensive Asmon gets when someone talks shit about Texas Roadhouse 😂
This man is the actual living embodiment of Ron Swanson
because he prob doesn't get much activity, just has a effective metabolism.
Bro Texas Roadhouse is so good lmao especially their fried onion thing and catfish
The part about ihop SMOKED me 🤣🤣🤣
Texas road house is the best.
True story: I went on a blind date.. (dating site). She did the “skinny angle” on her pic.. BUT I did some sleuthing and found images of her and realized she was LARGE.. 350-400 easy…. BUT.. Other than that she seemed really awesome. So to convince myself I was NOT just some shallow jerk I went on this date. We got along pretty well.. THEN, after a meal ; While we were walking across the street This Girl didn’t even bother looking. She just walked Uncaring in front of a car OBLIVIOUS while the car drive threw up his hands looking at me like “WTF!?”. She didn’t even care. Then I realized this girl’s WEIGHT was symptomatic of another problem.. She had such a LACK of self-preservation instinct AND lack of situational awareness and I’m pretty sure she eventually saw that she was was blatantly holding up traffic wadding across the road and made ZERO EFFORT to try to get out of the way of cars. That Sealed it for me. Her problem had nothing to do with her weight and everything to do with her self-absorption.
..anyway.. what shocked me the most was my own reaction to seeing this person have such little care for people around her…. Clearly self-indulgence, self-obsession ; self-aggrandizement is far beyond mere Eating habits….
That’s an insightful story. I do think that person sounds similar to Aberlynn’s mindset I just want to point out that each situation is very very different. Mental health issues will always go hand in hand with eating disorders. But everyone’s mental health, characteristics and reasoning for overeating/underrating is completely unique. For example, there are plenty of people that disregard their own health yet care immensely for others and the world around them (sometimes too much)
@@ciaa8387 I mean, people can give the impression they care about others without actually caring. I've seen and met my fair share of obese carers/nurses/doctors etc. They are the most awful people, rude, irritable, neglectful. Just downright horrible people, but they're in caring roles. Doesn't mean they care at all.
Nobody who gets to 500lbs cares about anything.
My aunt was overweighed. 150kg. Then 190. She was so fat she couldn't walk without crutches. As she got older, her arms were not strong enough to handle the ever-growing weight. And the less she moved, the more she ate. One day she slid down from her bed and we had to call the firemen to help her stand up.
By the time she died, she was 230kg at 155cm.
Some people can't be helped.
raghhh! 👹👹🐘🐘
It's sorta being unable to help yourself for one reason or another, or if you do have the awareness, just continuing to make those same decisions. Some just need help getting started, others are unable for one reason or another, ultimately because of some aspect of themselves.
Mindset is everything. If you aren't willing to make any changes what can you expect. I tried to get family to live differently and pretty much none of them wanted to change anything or put in any effort.
Jesus
That is around 505 lbs for my american friendos.
"guys I know very single sexual kink, every deviancy, every type of weird perversion, I know all about it" - earned my like asmon. you're funny af
The greg doucette video was actually very helpful, he was getting more mad at the products that were advertising themselves as healthy then at her for choosing them.
i really felt for asmon when he talked about losing his mom to obsesity related complications. i lost my mom a few months ago to complications of Non Alcoholic Fatty LIver Disease. My mom was overweight for most of her life, and her liver health failed after decades of taking medicine to "help" her health. i miss her everyday, she was my best friend. stay healthy friends. < 3
I'm sorry your family had to go through that. 🙏
I lost my grandmother a few years back. She was like a second mother to me and her passing has been extremely painful. She would still be around if she wasn't overweight at her age but all these years she refused to do anything about it until it was too late.
If you have loved ones past their fifties stage an intervention before it is too late. It is *very hard* to lose weight when you're obese at 60-70 years old. Your metabolism slows to a crawl and the weight makes it impossible to exercise, especially at that age. Try to make a change as early as possible and you might just keep them around for a few more years.
I'm sorry for your loss.
Sorry for your loss. ❤
Sorry for your loss. 😭❤
At my absolute heaviest I was 330 pounds. I am 6'4. I was definitely obese but nowhere near this, and I still felt like such utter garbage all the time. Not even just emotionally I just felt horrible physically all the time. Felt like I couldn't breath, could barely move and my body hurt all the time. I am down to about 270 now, still want to lose weight but I am struggling with it now and have actually gained some weight back. I'm trying my best to curb bad behaviors I picked back up recently, but even still I feel so much better than I used to. I don't know how someone at 500 pounds can feel like they aren't horribly unhealthy.
Yeah. Im 6ft5 and reached 300 pounds at my worst. And i used to be a basketball player.
You feel like absolute crap. You cant brwath normally, the strap in your car goes over the bloated belly, sitting down requires unbuttoning your pants.
Its fucking horrible. Anyone that says healthy at any weight knows nothing about life.
I was 330 a month ago and I am down to 310. I am 6'3 and 24 years old. I have started the carnivore diet and it is doing wonders for my weight loss journey. I can agree and relate with everything you said in your comment. What method did you use to lose the weight down to 270? If you havent tried Keto or Carnivore I would highly recommend them to continue your journey!
@@Murrybob-df8bf i just went on a caloric deficit and started working out. Gaining back due to stress from school
same boat
@@johnfinch621oddly i used the gym to get away from the stress from school, because my computer made me think of all the stuff id put off.
I once dated a "feeder" - I didn't know it existed. I was depressed and gained weight until I was nearly 500lbs.
I eventually got my life together, left them, and still struggle with my weight but have lost 320lbs. It's a tough journey, one I don't think I'd ever put on social media. People can be awful and wonderful and that dichotomy when you're on a mental and physical health journey is harmful.
WOW. If that's true, I respect your strong will. Losing 320lbs isn't something that most people can comprehend. Congratulations!
OMG you were force fed.. that is horrible
They dont care about your weight issue which is bad but over eating is still our responsibility
A "feeder"? Blaming it on another person? Please tell me you are kidding. What a sick joke. Did this "feeder" put a gun to your head and force you to eat? Like... come on

this video helped me so much. im 15 and im 300 pounds plus. ive been this way my whole life, and that speech opened my eyes and i spoke with my parents about it and we are starting our diet tomorrow. i realized i laughed at fat men and women for being fat while im this big. but hopefully that will change. thank you asmon and thank you sunny v2.
EDIT: the diets going well and ive been losing weight by using a trampoline
I highly recommend speaking with a dietician. Professional assurance that I was on the right path went a long way to trivializing the difficulty of sticking with my diet long term.
I'm rooting for you~ you got this!
Better to do so now than wait until your 30s when your metabolism starts to drop off. You got this!
Meth helped me lose 30 lbs in 3 days, imagine what it could do for you! 😀 jk don’t do meth, just watch how much you eat and be active for 30 minutes a day. You can play basketball or volleyball or mini golf. Hell play a vr game like super hot. As long as you’re moving around you’re making progress.
Please please PLEASE. DO NOT go in some crazy diet and do crazy gym work outs. You don’t even need to. You probably just have not been living normally your whole life. Just living normally makes weight fall off since the body is great at it. Just CHANGE WHAT YOU EAT and walk EVERY DAY for a significant amount of time. You can eat a significant amount. Just eat whole Foods. Like if your going to eat chicken, make it baked chicken breast. If your going to eat potato, make it sweet potato. I have a completely 2 minute dark whole wheat flour chocolate mug cake I’ll make every day sweeter with two TBL of honey. The difference is it’s NATURAL. People would be blown away that it’s basically not even a dessert. Eating natural foods and just walk for a significant amount of time regularly and your body will click into place. REMEMBER. Your body is NOT a furnace. It’s a LAB. The correct ingredients form a key that unlock the metabolism which is a door. NOT by beating that door into submission.
Asmon said a sentence that kinda hit me, "At some point, you've gotta start taking accountability." I've been working on weight loss since November, down 52 lbs total. I've failed so many times in the past without losing a single pound and made so many excuses to why it wasn't my fault. At the end of the day, for me anyway, I really think the taking accountability part has actually been the hardest part. Trying to push the "blame" off onto someone or something else to make yourself feel better really only ends with you robbing yourself. It takes the lesson and the experience out of it, making everything you do pointless until you finally act like an adult and realize it's you, you're the one who did it, now you're the one who needs to fix it. Use outside resources if it'll help you, but don't blame them if you fail. "You ate your way in, now walk your way out"-Bill Burr
Yes, the tricky thing is to take accountability without beating yourself in the ground. I feel this is a 'skill' that's not being taught properly. People either say you should be tolerant of every behavior or they are extremely hard to themselves and others ultimately being counter productive.
It might be because transcending dualism is so foreign in western culture / philosophy. And it's getting more divisive and black and white by the day.
@@astronemir Life would be better, if everyone was willing to suffer a little more. Sounds incredibly counterintuitive especially when you grew up in American culture which promotes indulgence, but when you really think about it, it’s truth.
If you aren't serious about losing weight then don't. There is no try. I'm down 60.
Its Almost like u are giving advice to league of legends players :p
Late response, but good on you man. Keep up the great work, you have the exact right mentality. It's a tough road, but I wish you the best!
Yeah, one of the worst things that you can do to lose weight is set a "I want to weigh this much by this date." You have to set goals which result it healthier habits over time. Not just losing weight. Like drinking less soda, or eating less of a certain food. It's hard, but more likely to succeed in the long run.
Seeing this is crushing because my nan was morbidly obese before she died and my brother struggles with his weight... I can feel for Asmon when he talks about his mother because weight issues can be a horrible beast.
Fat shaming doesn't help, but lying to them by telling that its ok to be fat is even worse, the only 2 things you can do is either say nothing or the truth, and by truth I mean telling the person that its not healthy and encouraging to do something about it.
Naw being a POS is forsure worse then not being a POS I don’t care how you try to spin it.
@@bobpope3656 the truth is the truth no matter how it makes you feel.
@@BluenPink there is a difference between saying “your fat and it your fault” and “you live an unhealthy lifestyle but you can improve that” one is be constructive one is being a POS.
@@doroza2lol You could not have been more wrong about that, this is your personal feelings talking and isn't based on any research. Fat shaming is the number one reason why fat people don't dare to show themselves in a gym, that sounds kinda counter productive don't you think? :) All research and empirical data prove that the opposite is true, and that isn't just for obesity, it's true in general. If fat shaming worked we would have zero obese people by now, and ironically it's actually fat shaming that caused the entire body positivity movement as a direct cultural backlash to fat shaming. Just as pride was a counter movement to homophobia.
You should be honest of course, but back that up with as much love and encouragement as possible.
That is, if you actually want to help them. Many don't and just want an "excuse" to insult people.
@bob pope no dude, people die because of others encouraging their fat behavior, I'd rather someone be depress/suicidal than dead
Honestly this is what I needed to see today. I am at the boarder of overweight and normal BMI and have been trying to push myself to start going to the gym. I leaving for the gym right now. Thanks Asmon.
Stay strong, King! 👑
Keep your goal in mind. Do not stop, you are stronger than you think!
nah, i'll start next week
Stay strong, king!
didnt watch the vid cus he literally said if you comment shit like this you are virtue signaling to disguise your hatred for fat people.
Coach Gregg is awesome, he cuts through confusion and makes weight loss simple. I understood basically nothing about weight loss till I found his videos. The video you saw, he goes on to explain what she’s doing wrong and how to help her situation.
It's funny that for most people weight loss is this epic battle while we bodybuilders lose weight on command dozens of times on top of the actual training.
Asmon picks and chooses when he wants to take clips out of context it’s a weird thing he does often
Asmon is cracking the odd joke here and there, but I don't have to know him to tell that this video hurt him on a personal level because of his mom. His energy is just different from usual. I didn't know his mom had weight problems because he is such a stick. I half expected him to absolutely roast her, but instead he was kind and understanding.
Maybe his mom should have taken care of himself. I'm going to keep fat shaming because it's disgusting. Thank God lizzo got cancelled
Hearing Asmon talk about losing his mom hit me right in the feels. I lost my mom a few years ago due to heart problems caused, in part, by obesity. She was a lovely woman through and through but struggled to lose the weight when she was younger - she was busy raising kids with a plethora of “bigger” problems that she spent her time on instead. The kicker? After the heart problems started, she did lose weight but by then, it was already too late and had mobility issues. I knew the minute she required oxygen and refused to quit smoking that it was a lost battle (I know Asmond knows what that is like, I’ve heard him speak on it a few times). 1000% agree with his sentiment, if my mom had taken care of herself, she would likely still be here and man that sucks.
Hugs to Asmond RE: his mom. That realization does not eliminate the feeling of missing something or someone. In fact, I’d argue that it sometimes feels worse.
P8o
I'm sorry for your loss
My sincere condolences for your mother.
I started losing weight 6 months ago, I'm down 40 lbs and can say that part of my motivation is seeing people that are like this and reminding myself that if I become that I will be miserable.
It's easy to lose weight, just stop stuffing your disgusting mouth full of food *EVERY SINGLE TIME* you are hungry.
You can SKIP a meal and you WILL survive. You don't have to eat EVERY SINGLE TIME you are hungry AS SOON AS you feel hungry.
Sometimes I feel hungry but I do this thing called *NOT EAT* until later.
There's no reason to be fat, stop eating all day and go outside...
You got this, one step at a time
Same here, started at 270 lbs in December and I'm down to 235. We got this!
@@toiletseat777 Wow man that's incredible. I started at 280 and am down to 240. You did it even faster than me so kudos to you!
@Minnstro thanks man, you're making fast progress yourself.
For anyone curious about what I'm doing; I'm simply eating 2000-2200 calories a day, getting as much protein as I can, and walking 10k steps a day.
Ive always been around drug addicts. They think the same. "Well today its weekend so i can do some coke" "Well i just got paid so now i can spend some money on heroin" "Well i feel sad today so i think i deserve to get high". Its never their fault, Its always someone else fault they are in that situation. A lot of self pity. This will kill them and ive seen it. Way too many times. This helps me to stay away from drugs.
You are right I'm in that cycle. I have conquered so much in my life as a soldier but I am a slave
Chick went on a reverse weight loss journey and cried victim when people called her out? No sympathy for that, she did it to herself and you even hear her say shes not going to do anything in an attempt to lose weight, yet is surprised when she keeps gaining by eating sumo levels of calories without working out.
Saying Greg is shitting on her he literally is shitting on the bar lol he’s honestly a pretty nice guy he always shits on bad health food
It’s pretty gross that a company can exist that markets itself as health food while being so unhealthy. It gives people that aren’t aware the impression that they’re doing the right thing while the company just counts the profits
@@antonithegoat4216 knowledge is power, you have to research everything these days, and use multiple sources.
i still dont understand how he thought he was picking on her he literally spelled it out that he was talking about the bar
27:09 Greg Doucette isn’t a dick, yes he shits on products but in every video he always gives healthy alternatives and advice that has personally helped me a ton. His videos aren’t about shitting on the person he’s talking about, they’re about pointing out mistakes people are making and then giving solid advice on how to change them
I used to look down on fat people to a degree when I was younger (like 12ish and into early teens), but even then, I was able to understand that shaming them and making them feel worse wouldn't help, and in fact might drive them to become worse, so despite what I felt inside, I kept my mouth shut. I've always valued not hurting people over whatever I might personally be feeling inside.
Now I'm kinda heavy myself, unfortunately, so I better understand how f*king hard it is to stay healthy. Partly because of our culture and partly just because your own body and mind are constantly fighting you and it only takes a few seconds of weakness to makes things worse.
And that only makes me despise the whole "healthy at any weight" more than ever. Once I realized I'd let it get out of control and felt how wretched and uncomfortable it was to put on weight... no, no it's not f*king healthy, and thinking so is delusional. It. Feels. Awful. Not just mentally or emotionally, but PHYSICALLY. It feels PHYSICALLY miserable. And I'm not even close to morbid. Just a bit too much weight around my waist and I'm getting heartburn and it's uncomfortable to lean down to tie my damn shoes because it gets in the way and I can't breathe. So to those who are actually struggling, I sympathize.
To those promoting that it's OK... get bent. Except I know you idiots can't actually bend over.
Sounds like some criticism when ppl are getting fatter is healthy then , over keeping our mouth shut and refraining from fat shaming ..
You say that yet I've personally seen multiple fat people in my life lose weight specifically of the criticism. Sure they're very self-conscious about their looks to this day but hey all the shaming worked out in the end. Now they look better than everyone else.
Thanks for sharing, because I imagine this is painful to talk about. I think people in general don't have an understanding of the difference between shaming and tough love. Tough love can only come from people you care about and care about you. I've been sober a long time and I'll say that there's no pity and defense for drug addicts and alcoholics like there is for obese people. And I have to feel like if there was more criticism maybe it would help some people. I can only speak for myself in saying that my family giving me shit at every turn was what ultimately got me to hit a really bottom. Had they just turned a blind eye, I would've continued and probably drank myself to death or committed suicide (something I thought about multiple times a day). I wish you the best of luck in your journey. I know this shit is hard. Even harder probably because you HAVE to eat to live. And learning to eat healthy/moderate is very difficult.
@@drewdabrew4745 Theirs a difference between honest frank criticism from someone close to them trying to help them and bullying which doesn't work according to study's, it only makes it worse as the real issue/cause is usually low self esteem and bullying only makes that worse
@@BlitzkriegFeuerFrei Bullying usually makes overeating worse according to study's, Honest criticism from family etc is different so people shouldn't confuse the two
As someone whos always been 20-40 lbs over their heights average weight. Food was always the reason. Meal prep was a massive improvement since its easier to microwave and eat a premade meal you made 4 days ago than it is to go out to get chipotle. Theres some pretty good meal prep channels out there.
@@banhammer3904 no it doesnt
Dude, watching this at the airport and “gravitational pull of the earth” had me bust out laughing. Thanks Asmon 😂😂😂
That comment about never seeing an obese 90 year old patient is so accurate. I work as an EMT for this medical transport company and I don't think I have ever seen an obese patient in any of the many nursing homes I've been too.
Holy snap. I've never been to a Texas Roadhouse but the way Zack defended it made me want to try it. LOL it has to be really good with how serious he got with it 🤣
"🤣The gravitational pull is less on Sunday"
I lost 85 pounds since last May. I'm extremely disabled (especially my lungs.) All I did was follow a gout diet for 2 months (this was after a gout attack, mind,) and start walking. First month was nightmarish. Almost always on the brink of a serious asthma attack. Had to take my inhaler daily. Now I can fast walk my 2 mile lap twice a day and still lose weight whereas for about 4 months, I was walking it 6 times a day (12 miles.)
All it takes is the proper motivation. Mine is hatred. I hate. Who or what do I hate? My useless body, of course.
Totally agree with the last part there but for me its the opposite i just cant seem to gain weight and i hate myself for it
Lets go champ!
@@YxngBrilla The only people who understand raw anger and hate as motivation are people who also have fucked up bodies. I've died thrice from my asthma. Once while I was in prison. I've been clinically dead for three minutes and change and I still didn't die. My body wouldn't let me leave it. So I'm taking control. I am dragging this fucking thing to 120 years old. How am I doing that? By getting it into as good a shape as I possibly can. That'll show it! And when my fibro flares because of the weather, I make it walk. Nobody hurts me but me! Certainly not this stupid-ass body that can't even properly try to kill me.
I guarantee if you have a disease or a disability, you have felt like this at least once in your life. :P
@@meatpopsicle5216 When I reach a constantly-changing threshold (under 200 is the current goal,) I plan to make a video showing the ugly truth of the whole thing. Doctors don't know anything when you're disabled. They're just guessing. Even you can lose weight. Extra skin is fucking disgusting. It's still worth doing it. No excuses. You either want to lose the weight badly enough or you don't. It really is that simple.
I'm legally blind, partially deaf, SEVERELY asthmatic/COPD and I have fibromyalgia (hypersensitive nerves and chronic pain.) All from birth. I was told unambiguously by many doctors to NOT exercise EVER!
I could have done this shit when I was 20. It took me until I was 38 to even think of trying it and it took an extreme situation to galvanize me. I lament the wasted time when I could have been healthy instead of wallowing like I had been.
@@zealgaming8161 I loathed myself since I went to the hospital the first time and learned how atypical I was. It took hate for me to achieve anything. A goal is fine but you need fuel to get you there and my fuel is rage. Insofar as male vs. female, I couldn't say. I'm not a woman. I can only say what finally worked for me after decades of thinking nothing ever would.
I work at the hospital, we had a guy admitted that was 950 lbs. He couldn't get out of his bed at home and was admitted for physical rehab placement. His "low carb low salt" diet (mind you still sufficient for 2 - 3 regular adults) caused him to pee up to 6 - 7L of urine a day and he lost ~150 lbs of pure water weight. His weight stabilized at ~750 lbs at the end of 1 month. No rehab facility would accept him so we ended up just sending him back home with a bariatric bed.
WTF???????! Jw do hospitals ever recommend fasting for people this large?
@@von2320 No that would lead to a bunch of electrolyte abnormalities, which actually this guy had during his hospitalization from all the fluid/urine he was losing. And he wasn't even straight up fasting!
@@aakksshhaayy the water weight loss alone, is absolutely mind bending. I really feel bad for people like this. It’s such a slippery slope that is hard to get off of.

Back at the beginning of 2016 I went through a very rough break up and ended up losing 60 pounds in a month. I'm still below my average (probably. I havent checked since before covid) but I feel like that's better than being overweight.
I really appreciate you for approaching this from an empathetic angle.

ALR has been on my radar for about 5 years. I do have to give her one point of credit for being the most consistently inconsistent UA-camr. Her MO is to start something, quit it, and rake in the views on the drama it generates. Numerous people have offered to help her, a cancer scare wasn't enough to shirt her mindset and get healthy, she won't get mental help consistently. She's the train wreck that people can't look away from. It's really just sad that people keep shining the light on her when we should all just look away.
I follow the reaction channels in gorl world and I did give her cancer video a view and like and left a positive comment, just to have her turn around a week later and laugh in our faces that we are all dumb and she is the best. Never again, we gave her positive encourgement and she squandered it all.
@@cyanl.2245 agreed. I think the only people that give her encouragement these days are the feeders and those that aren't familiar with her cycle of self destruction. Any other goodwill has been pretty much squandered.
@n30n if only it were that simple.
This is that sick Lost Ark gameplay I was lookin for
Body dysmorphia is no joke, man. When I was a teenager, I was really skinny and didn't care much about a healthy diet. "JUST DON'T EAT 4Head" and all that. Nowadays, I have a crippling stress eating habit where I often can't stop eating the unhealthiest stuff whenever I feel really bad. I have doubled my weight since high school and now look like melting ice cream. I _know_ I should stop eating junk food and start working out, but I can't find the strength to do it.
I went from 300 pounds to 190s in 8 months after finally saying enough is enough. I used to watch Amber Lynn and Nickocado Avocado as a reminder that I had to change my relationship with food. I used it to cope with my depression. Once I found other ways to deal with it, it enabled me to lose the weight (alongside educating myself on needed calories, and find healthy foods I enjoy).
Another huge inspiration, actually the main one was GreekGodX. He was losing weight at the time I started. I figured if he could at his size, I could with my sore knees/screwed low back.
Can't thank all 3 of them enough really.
You'd be surprised how quickly you can change your life once things truly "click" :)
On another note, sadly Amber after the cancer diagnosis eventually turned back to eating after she was able to successfully have her cancer removed. Since then I haven't watched her, as even after the realization that she could be dead soon, she continued to eat once the threat was gone. Sigh
Yeah i smoke weed for depression
I draw to get my mind off depression. 😊 Also great job on the life change!
@@lunerlilly that's the way! I did digital art and hiking :)
Hope you’re doing well 👍
@@toxicmagnaguard thank you :) getting there . Same to you!
About the fat shaming thing I have an off center kind of view about it. My initial drive to lose weight was knowing I would be spending a lot of time at the pool when summer came around. The fear of being shamed or laughed at for my weight galvanized me into losing it. That said, I don't think _actually getting_ shamed or laughed at is a good thing. The fear of it maybe. It helped me. I can attest to that much. But it would mess with people if it actually happened.
That’s your sense of self-worth kicking in. Personal embarrassment about something like being obese is not a surprising thing to feel imo.
@@tiestofalljays Having something to run from is just as important as having a destination imo. If you have both it's like a cheat code. Something pushes you and another pulls.
Edit: If you've read my other comment you know I'm working out again. You get 1 guess for why that's happening lol. Pool season isn't that far away.
@@w1mark275 I do think for a lot of people it's heathy to have that worrying voice that goes "If you don't do _this_ what if _this_ happens". But for some people you're probably right if that voice shouts at them or it doesn't come up only when you're hesitating and need a motivation boost. It's just going off all the time. Those aren't helpful things to anyone.
To be completely clear on why I think my fear helped me out, it's not to say I think it's a good thing for anybody to bully or shame for weight. I wouldn't have liked it if that happened and if anything I would've stopped going to the pool. That would've removed my fear of being shirtless and my motivation to continue losing weight. So it wouldn't have helped at all. I advocate completely against shaming and bullying.
... It's one of those things where the worry about something happening helps you out. Like, don't jump off there it's too high. It's too late and that's not a safe area so don't go. You're too tired or distracted to drive. Etc. You don't need the bad thing to happen, you just need to want to avoid what _could_ happen.
@Manga Realm ignoring fat peoples problems, over eating, not.exercising leads to early death, so Id rather say something than just let someone kill themself.
It’s honestly a pretty complicated issue. While the fear of shame and ridicule can be a very healthy way of controlling yourself and avoiding unnecessary or deviant behavior it also can be a crushing weight. But if it never happens at all. Then there is nothing to be afraid of and thus no reason to improve. It’s wild. But we all agree that openly shaming a persons weight is damaging, but if absolutely no one ever does it and there is no risk of a person doing it then you have nothing that will tell you “if I don’t lose weight what will people think?”
a very discouraging reason for why she may have not lost any weight during her first week could have been her body going into survival mode because it wasn't used to not eating as much. that happened to me at the start of my journey last year. the first week even while working out and on a diet I didn't lose any weight at all, but after the first week I started dropping multiple pounds a day and now I'm down to 215 lbs as a 6'5 man with a bit of muscle on me aswell. I wanna be around 200 lbs so not much further to go.
I got big as a kid, had alot going on at home by the time i left highschool i was 136kg ( 299lbs ), When i was 21 i lost roughly 50kg ( 110-120lbs ) nobody told me about the struggles i would face after the weight loss. The loose skin, the not recognising myself, the fear and anxiety of a bounce back, i might be healthier physically but the weight loss journey definitely took its toll mentally
you did something incredible- you should remind yourself of that constantly to boost your mental well being, after all... you deserve it!
I feel blessed that I was able to realize that tuning into my body was important when I was a teenager. If I ever overeat, it makes me feel like shit. Thats why I don't do it. When I eat healthy food... when I'm hungry... I feel good. It's so simple for me. I feel bad that people struggle with this so much.
Same here, yet people still look at me strange and ask if I am ‘ok’ if I leave food on my plate, yes I’m fine, I’m just done eating and won’t force myself to over eat, I would rather waste food than become obese thanks
What nobody ever says about weightloss is that it comes with the consequences of losing your coping mechanism. I didn't know it either and would have never guessed, I dropped a little over 100 pounds. Apparently I was eating to cope with my emotions, stress, depression the usual, nothing major but eating was an outlet. As soon as I hit my goal, healthy weight I got into a very bad panic attack disorder. I had no idea what a panic attack was before this, I couldn't figure out why either, becaus eon the surface I was the happiest I had ever been. Apparently I no longer had a way to cope with daily stress and just my usual nostalgic depressive thoughts about life and purpose. I no longer had my food to drown those feelings in. Aside of that, the body produces a lot of cortisol (the stress hormone) when it is losing weight, even though you may not feel stressed at all, it isn't something you 'feel' is happening. Other people drink or smoke or play games to cope with stress. I used to play too, except losing that weight took away the free time I had and made it into me cooking and exercising. For someone like me who has never learned a way to deal with stress other than eating and playing games, it is almost impossible to not have it all collapse at some point, seemingly out of nowhere. I am now a year into my panic attack disorder and it is getting better, but it was the worst year of my life where almost every day I couldn't draw a breath without thinking I am about to die. Although I am not some emo kid, not some unidentified gender or some blue hair weirdo and I had zero logical understanding why this had started to happen to me when I was literally the happiest and proudest and most optimistic i have ever been. The human brain and hormones are a very, very weird thing. I wish people would stop presuming they understand what is going on, although this is youtube and things are done mostly for clout, the issue of weight is extremely complex and still majorly misunderstood even by those of us who have dealt with it and come out victorious.
Mental health is very important can i recommend movie therapy? Theres people here on UA-cam and they watch movies and talk about what's really going on in the movies and talk about ways to cope. Movies are great for me because I can watch/listen to them while moving.
Stress eating is legit real I do it all the time! and it's my way of coping!
The problem with the surgery is that they physically make your stomach smaller. The idea is that you won't be able to eat a lot. But, over time, the stomach stretches, so a lot of people with no self-control end up eating just as much as before the surgery, and this can be very dangerous given the fact that their stomach is now smaller and being stretched even thinner.
I didnt realize you were doing content like this. Ill see how it goes. Good luck. I can't wait to see you in the primary season.
/r/fatpeoplehate motivated me to lose a lot of weight. I disagree with Asmon saying these people aren't actually used as motivation. For me at least, it was a huge help.
If you're struggling with the discipline it takes to do something like this, it really helps to ask someone else to hold you accountable.
@@ayoCCPeople used to tear into smokers all the time. Especially in big cities. The propaganda has wained and as a result people don’t think about smokers anymore.

THIS is why it's so important to have actual friends.
I actually commend her for her transparency. That it's in the public eye serves as useful data for others. They can see "If I want to lose weight, this is not how to do it".
Most of my high-school life up until 20-22ish I never weighed more than 145lbs and I would struggle to gain weight while trying to powerlift to bulk... I was very toned and happy enough with my body when I finally hit around 150ish, around my 21st - 22nd birthday, and so I just stopped working out and stopped following meal plans etc... over time I lost tone and then out of curiosity I stepped on a scale and saw I weighed 180lbs, and I actually panicked... joined the army at 24 and started working out and dieting again... got down to 168lbs by my basic/AIT graduation and while I'm not very toned anymore at nearly 30 I am sitting comfortably at about 175... but I'm guessing it's mostly muscle with a thin layer of fat just because even with the intense working out and dieting with the military, I couldn't get below 165, and I've definitely gained strength/mass since then.
Technically I am overweight, atleast per army standard (or so I've been told) but I've never failed tape day and I have no issues with PT. For reference, I'm fairly short at 5'9.
I'll never forget how shocking it was to see my weight at/above 180, I cannot imagine how anyone my height or shorter even exists at above 230+
I would probably have horrible anxiety and eat nothing but chicken breast and broccoli for months while doing anything I could to shed it...
I've never judged others for their weight issues, mainly just myself. The only time it pisses me off to see other people overweight is when they cry about it but never do anything to fix it. Like this girl, wings of redemption, and several soldiers even in my own battalion.
If you know the cause of your problems, you have the power to fix them, and not doing it is a choice you make, so don't complain to anyone about your decision to not better yourself.
I've utilized other's weight gain to inspire my weight loss.
I had a cousin who could almost be my twin bloat from 220 lbs to 298 lbs. Seeing that transformation pushed me to drop my weight from 215 to 187 currently. I feel great, but for my frame, I've likely got another 10 lbs to go before I'd want to hold it steady
I was heading that way as well, my all time high was 191kg (a bit over 420 for US) and hated everything.
For me, it all changed with a gastric bypass and I wish more people would understand that getting a surgery to save your life IS AN OPTION.
If you know someone heading this direction with their life, please try to help them, you'd rather be hated but help them, than lose them and know you could have done something.
P.S. Nearing 100kg now and getting jacked in the gym.
@@andrewt.5567 band is brutal even though it sounds easy and painless. Makes you feel like you're bloated all the time.
People don't understand that getting a bypass isn't "the easy way out." It still takes considerable effort after the surgery to be successful
Man, at my heaviest I was pushing 250lbs (about 114kg) and that was horrible man. I can't imagine being that heavy and I'm glad you're doing much better! I switched up my job and almost instantly dropped 20 pounds and then I kept working out and portion control and I got down to 200lbs. Now I'm back at 215 after I was staying in a hospital for 3 months with my wife after she had my boys 3 months early. Now they are home and I'm able to work out and not eat shitty hospital food haha
absolutely disgusting pseudo science. it is a band ait tactic.
DO NOT GO TO DOCTORS FOR DIET! They are the most clueless on the subject. and will literally cut out your parts before doing anything about the root cause.
losing or gaining fat is the simpelest thing there is. It is chemistry. No feelings, no big bones, no fast, slow metabloism no excuses;
High blood sugar causes an increase in insulin, leading to the conversion of sugars into fat by the liver, resulting in conditions such as fatty liver and fat accumulation in the belly from where it spreads to the rest of the body.
Now YOU may get higher blood sugar from a gram of carbohydrates than the next person. so maybe for you it is different in it's use case but the premise is the same.
12:37 As the people on Twitch said as well, it's not really about exercise but rather about just eating less. The thing is that our bodies are super efficient when it comes to energy conservation, so we don't burn as much from exercise which was a massive boost all the way up until the industrial revolution, but has now become our detriment.
About the gym trainer who shames Amberlynn, I think she needs to hear that, the reason people gets angry mostly is because they want that person to be saved or they were too passionate about their things.
You know, my first comment here wasn't exactly sensitive. I'm a big guy, not going to say my size, and when I saw this it kind of reminded me of myself and my own struggle. It takes a massive amount of effort to change your life, I've finally made it on a path to reverse my conditions but it took 15 years to get here.
Less than 5% of morbidly obese people return to a healthy weight (this is a liberal amount, there are other studies that say 3% or 1%).
fomo keeps me alive
i dont want to be in my death bed then a bloodborne sequel gets announced
Lmao
Because of the pandemic I ended up gaining some weight and then in 2022 I started working late hours and stopped eating prepared meals and ate way more fast food and I put on some pounds.I don't think it's something to have pride for more like disgust with myself to have poor eating habits.
I have to put some hard work in this year to knock the weight back off.
0:46 The curse of knowledge!
I have struggled with my weight for years and unfortunately throughout life I bagged myself some of the more severe aspects of mental health which only made things worse but 2019 I was the lightest I had been in years prior, potentially lighter than I was in my late teens, unfortunately Covid then set in, my mental health issues kicked in and I ended back at square one, now this year I have made it my goal to lose this weight for good and have made the effort to do so and after a month off due to illness, if there was a video that kick started my week into wanting to get back in the gym and taking better care of myself again, it was this one.
With that said, I genuinely feel bad for her and I hope she gets the help she needs before it's too late, I don't wanna see a video in the near future going over her death, it's hard for sure, bad habits die hard ya know? so fingers crossed for her 🤞
Hey man we all are on this journey together.
@@rjtheripper931 Indeed we are and I wish you and others like us the best of luck on their journeys, I only wish the best for them and your good self 👍
I think a lot of people kind of forget that you can be addicted to eating too. Eating gives your brain endorphins, just like drugs can, and it can be hard to stop.
If you've never been addicted to something, trying to cut back is a genuinely miserable experience. You become moody, you lose energy and motivation, get easily agitated. Sometimes, you feel ill for no other reason than withdrawal. It's very hard to willingly subject yourself to this kind of thing, when you could just eat something and make all that go away.
Part of why I think a lot of people get that huge is because they dont have anyone to go to for support when they're down bad, and want to give in. Or even worse, people around them enabling bad habits, or generally just being negative about it.
The sad thing is is that she clearly has it within her to change, as she's done before, but she's found herself wired in a way that it's just habitual to overeat as a source of comfort.
Honestly it really bothers me that people react to her in such a punitive way instead of offering genuine encouragement and advice. If she mixed a decent exercise routine with a good meal plan she'd be heathlier and happier. The encouragement / discouragement and/or excuses she recieves from the internet really goes to show how careful you need to be with your influences.
32:43 That was hilarious. He channeled Bill Burr again.
I think the main problem with the weight loss journey video idea is the problem with it going poorly. A lot of people who are fat have some kind combination of factors going on. But a common one is emotional eating. Amberlynn appears to be one of these people. So, every time she hits a setback, and people start admonishing her for having no self control, and being fat, and making fun of her, they just make her want to eat more, which she seems to give in to. In fact, her not recording her journey anymore would probably be a good move for her, as long as she's still trying to lose weight outside of the public eye. People can't bother her for her failures and make things worse when she gets stuck or falls off the wagon a little, if she doesn't tell them about it.
Weight loss journey series of videos can go well - having a supportive community of people who want to see you succeed can be a powerful thing. It just wasn't a good fit for Amberlynn Ried. What she needs is a therapist to help her find healthier ways to cope with her emotional problems, and possibly some other people to help get her diet under control. Because the internet chewed her up and spit her out, way worse than when she started. Not everyone can make progress when they have people hurling insults at them all the time, and Amberlynn seems to be one of them. I hope she finds people to surround herself with in real life that will support her weight loss journey, and help her to get back on track when she messes up instead of going out of their way to make her feel like a bad person for making some mistakes.
Even as someone who struggles with stress-eating myself, this is just a sad situation to watch unfold.
i love texas roadhouse! longhorn good too, more expensive tho
Hey Asmon, (20:20) i think both examples of the right things to do and the wrong are equality good enough to inspire people, relative to the position they want to go
I was a big boy - 6'2" and 280. I never felt like I was unhealthy, but I knew there was stuff I should have been able to do but couldn't anymore (mostly running, stamina stuff). I started losing weight on Feb 1st of 2022, and by April 3rd I was down 60 pounds. I hit 100 pounds lost at the end of June. I've traded a habit of over eating every day with 2 hours of cardio daily.
I watch Amberlynn and I feel really bad, because I feel like if she'd had someone to really hold her hand and cut her off from the internet, she could have lost the weight and built some life long habits.
Insane loss bro well done.
At the end of the day, nobody can help her except herself.
Similar story to me. I am 6’1” and weighed 250. I worked out all the time but ate like SHIT. Basically big fat strong guy. One day I realized that aside from working out all the time, something isn’t working. Learned about proper diet, fasting, etc. now I’m at 210 and relatively chiseled. It gives you confidence and makes you happier being in your own skin.
I did the same thing unfortunately you can't work out 2 hours a day forever. I gets old and the weght comes back. Some of us are just wired to be fat and it's not feasible to starve and exercise every day...
I can relate to this a lot with my grandma so I feel your pain asmong when it comes to your mom, my grandma has been living off oxygen for years now because she’s super overweight and it’s causing her lungs to collapse
Brooooo Pelham in alabama has a banger of a Texas roadhouse but last time I visited alabama Oxford or Aniston got a new Texas roadhouse that's always so packed that I've heard it's a 2 hour wait
the texas roadhouse rant was classic
Stuff like this is so hard to watch. It's not my place to try to figure out the root cause but it has to be mostly psychological. I've always struggled with my weight and my diet too, but going over 200lbs and seeing a picture of myself made the alarms go off in my brain. I lost most of it but regained some, and now my BMI hovers right at the borderline between normal and overweight. I just can't fathom being over 300 lbs, let alone 400 or 500. Seeing people get to that point just makes me sad for them.
Imho once you're 350 the switch is broken and you'll just keep gaining.
Yoyos are more common in the 200s or low 300s. I've never seen someone go from 380 to 330 without keeping the weight off.
It's probably because 350 is the point where you lose basic functions like being able to walk, clean properly etc
Hahaha the rant caused by the roadhouse comment. Pure gold.🤣

You forgot the cancer
not gonna lie, i am currently on my own weight loss kick, as my entire life until my 30s. I was a healthy and fit 170-185 lbs. sadly i gained weight up into the 230's. and i decided enough was enough, and I have cut back down to 215 in the last 2 months. However I am still not fully happy, I would like to be back down to my healthy weight of 185, but admittedly I need to commit myself more to actually working out, these first 15 lbs of weight loss were due to completely cutting soda, and refined sugar out of my diet. Now I only eat sugars and carbs that come from fruits, or 100% whole grain, multigrains, so rather, i've cut my carb intake to very little, and healthier carbs, and have been more active. I hope that by this time next year, I can be back down to 185. I need to step it up tho.
I've done the same thing lol but instead of losing weight I gained 15 lbs in muscle.
I can't imagine how miserable she must feel, I walk everyday and it does wonders for feeling positive.
People underestimate how effective walking is. I try and do a minimum of 10k steps a day and it makes such a difference. You don't need to an extreme exercise routine to lose weight. If someone morbidly obese were to start a daily walking habit, they would see dramatic results.
I've kind of come to terms with the fact that currently, I am overweight. My weight distribution right now makes it look fine though, when it really isn't. My doctor tells me I need to lower my cholesterol levels and I've been doing lots of research on how to do that, and it turns out that even just switching out foods that makes your cholesterol higher, to something that lowers it will make you lose weight almost automatically. (all my other levels are perfect, so I'm sort of healthy and unhealthy at the same time).
Which also means smaller meals, changing fats I use for cooking (for example olive oil vs sunflower oil), change fatty things I eat on bread (more plantbased/mixed soft butter vs hard butter), switch the types of grain I eat (white loaf bread vs really dark rye bread), cut out a lot of processed meats (burgers, sausages) and rather go for lean meat or vegan options (vegan burgers sorta ok?) and cutting out snacks (mostly, some snacks are okay obviously)
anyway food to me is a way to gain energy, I don't always eat because its yummy. The easiest foods to make at home are heightening my cholesterol, so in other words I need to put in more time and effort into my cooking. And then bam, lose weight by not even trying. If I add more exercise, wowie I'll be 107lbs in no time (vs 151ish lbs.)
I assume if you eat food because its yummy or comforting, it might be way way harder to switch, especially if someone like this has AFRID or something. (I have a weak version of texture/flavor aversion... so some things will be difficult lol)
Best part of the video is when the closed captions hears her name as "ambulance"
This is the crossover I never expected. ALR is vile

22:45 Texas Roadhouse is friggin delicious and great bang for the buck.. Probably not something you wanna do often tho. That bread is such a trap.. Damn cinnamon butter is so goooooooood!!
"Eat to live vs Live to Eat" had to toggle that in my head so i would only eat what my body required vs gorging myself, im still fat but im not as fat
I have never been severely obese but i have been overweight. My BMI was about 28 ( I weighed 209 at 185 cm length.) and was like that for 3 months since i just was unemployed, sat home and played video games all day. But then i just grew tired of seeing myself becoming more like a chubby fat sloth and all that extra weight was getting annoying. I didn't do anything radical but i went for cardio about 2-3 times a week and began a more normal diet with less carbs, and more meat and vegetables and stopped eating snacks during weekdays when i was gaming. Now i weigh 160 so that's a loss of roughly 50 pounds. Feel lighter, and much better about myself in general.
Damn! Good job! Slow and steady is the way. Worst thing that can happen is doing something drastic like setting unrealistic weightloss goals and then not achieving that, getting frustrated and starting to stuff yourself with food.
Godspeed friend!
I have hated being the size I was a year ago, I was 19 weighing 320lbs ( I'm 5'9), I am 20 now and I weigh 220lbs after throwing and burning all the fast food and snacks that I had been obsessed over for years. I still have about 20lbs to go for my goal. Everyone has achance to change and be healthy again or be healthy for the first time
congrats on your journey towards a more healthy lifestyle!
A big part of weight loss is diet, a shit diet might even impact you negative even if youre hitting the gym hard.
Hell yeah bro!!!
The fact that she made videos about her failing struggle with weight is really just a symptom of this society we exist in. Some people such as asmond have figured out a way to create a great career, hes always enjoyable and entertaining to watch. As he said to look at this as more of a mental or physical disorder I think is more accurate. This person needs basically like what a drug addict would be, a rehab, she is not able to control her urges to eat and one can't help but wonder if much of these videos were really just a way to get attention both negative and positive. if she truly was concerned about her weight she could be hospitalized or put into a place where she does not get to choose what she eats.
I really appreciate you bringing attention to this topic, though it's really hard to watch.
100% right on the retaining water thing. I went from 280-190 and the first 20 pounds I lost was in the first week because of water weight.

In the Marine Corps I saw a lot of guys lose a ton of weight just from this alone. My DIs and even senior NCOs were ruthless towards anyone even slightly overweight. This method can be used effectively.
Are you sure the weight loss wasn't specifically tied to PT?
@@tyty8484 PT is for maintaining. If you aren't doing anything in your off time such as dieting or going to the gym you're not going to see a lot of progress. The environment was pretty rough though so if you don't cut weight you're getting processed out. Plus getting bashed about your weight can be a good motivator.
I was a fat child. I swear to god parents who let their kids be fat pre-teen is dooming them to failure. They have to work to break out of their routine and what they are used to. It certainly was a bit of time before I gone down to average size.
That's one way to motivate people..
This is your brain on the algorithm. She found out that people are more interested in a train wreck, rather then a success story.
Or, she found out that she gets to be the awful person she actually is.
