🛑 Check out my new and revised Fat Loss Without Dieting Book: payhip.com/b/kBnq 🛑
You are an absolute badass. Hats off to you.
Thanks mate!
Thank you so much for this. This was the motivation I needed.
Your welcome, keep it up 👍
Good for you Bro! Super happy for your new freedom and finding your true self. I too love my bike- I cycle everywhere in the city- rain or shine. I've lost weight, got over depression too. Cycling really helped me move through the passing of my Mom.
Anyway, take care and all the best Bro
Thanks so much man! Good for you also losing weight and getting over depression, they can be some of the hardest things to do in your life!.Keep at it and Good luck!
Alan Rhyason What do you wear when it rains or when it’s cold?
Cycling has been a massively positive lifelong influence for me, im happy to see it worked for you. Absolutely love story's like this, they are very inspiring...
Thanks but what I didn't realise it that people need to make sure they don't overdo it! I did too much and despite eating well I basically starved my body as I was in too big of a calorie deficit for too long and it's fucked up my metabolism, so now I'm having to take it easy and eater super well but I'm gaining a little, but that soon goes once body stabilises.
cool man. I've struggled with weight and addiction my whole life. I've been in some dark places in my life and I think a bike is a great tool to give yourself a way out of the darkness.
Thanks for sharing your story. You and Britney are the best. Your videos helped me so much. 🌱 💪
Your very welcome, thank you! I'm glad :)
Good stuff mate
Thanks mate
Well done, what a journey 🙂
Thank you a beautiful story love from ireland
Thank you for sharing your experience with the world. It's very inspiring to see that you have come a long way. You are positive and encouraging others. Thank you so much for this video. I started on my home bike 5 days a week and have already started seeing the difference. Being a single mum of a 4 Yr old girl and being in a toxic and abusive relationship has taken the toll on me, my life to the point that I could not recognise myself. I had given up on myself trying to please my ex, who was cheating after our baby was born. 4 years of misery, abuse and toxicity but now I am healing and I must say that I am happier being a single mum, living a simple life and appreciating the smallest things in life. I am not living for others but myself. I started to build my self confidence, self esteem and self love. My relationship was that bad to the point that my ex told me to disappear and die as he could not handle the family after our little one was born. He said he did not sign up for our baby, he could not listen to her cries or would not even change her nappy. I guess not everyone is born to be a great daddy. Now after cheating with over 10 women, he got himself a new girlfriend who has 2 kids from a previous relationship and now he is saying that they are his kids. Just to not feel guilty that he abandoned his own child to be father of kids who are not his. Sorry to share all this but I am in a better place now.
Wow sounds like an ordeal! But remember all you have is now, there is no past or future, all we have is now, lets get it done 👌
You look amazing! Complety different person, not just weigh loss, but strong, present and mindfull. Great work and inspiring!!
Thank you so much!
@@CyclingSlim Your welcome! And now, even more inspring as you are figuring it out all again! but you will :D
Awesome transformation mate. I am not a big guy but still need to lose the pounds around the belly so this is motivating. I do struggle with time though with 2 small kids but I will have to make time. I'm 42 now and not getting any younger! Take care mate!
Thanks mate. Make some time, there are 24 hours in a day, if you sleep 8, work 8, commute 2, eat 1.5, that still leaves 4.5 hours. Even better commute to work on the bike, or walk/ride to the grocery store, find ways to incorporate it into your day, you'd be surprised!
Well done mate
Thanks mate
i'm also an overweight gamer, joined a gym lost weight but gained it again and quit.
got my bicycle last year and it's so great to lose weight while still having lots of fun, much better than a gym.
also using it for commuting to work which saves me money and time
the only tough thing is keeping a straight diet while having long sitting shifts at work, so far doing well
thanks alot for the video
Good job man!
Good story mate. Good luck
Thanks mate.
Jeremy from Jersey just subscribed
Thanks, I hope you enjoy my content.
Awesome. Thanks for sharing
You're welcome.
Mate, you are so right about Strava. It gives me a lot of motivation to get better and faster because its like a game. I'm like, 'Bitches, I'm coming for your KOM's'. Good work ;-)
Exactly!
Congratulations for rescuing yourself from the couch and thank you for sharing your story
Thank you so much!
Thanks for being honest good luck respect. 👍❤️
Your welcome 😊
Well done 👏🏻 & is that an East Midlands accent I hear? Nottingham maybe?
Bang on! Nottingham!
I’ve cut 90% of sugar out of my diet but I never thought about the salt and oils. At my highest I was 280 pounds I’m now 162 pounds. I used a mountain bike and I fell in love with it. It goes from misery to fun in no time and then the weight just falls off. Good on ya for being a badass.
Salt doesn't make you fat, but it can make you gain water weight and make your body more incline to hold onto fat as the body actually stores water in the fat cells, so if you need to store alot of water, your body might be inclined to hold onto the fat. but if you sweat alot and are reasonably active, salt isn't something you should worry about too much! Oil however will rise your blood sugar and cause you to store fat. Whole fats such as nuts and seeds are a much better way of getting fat in your diet though and don't store fat. In fact nut consumption has been shown to have the opposite effect. Refined sugar is good to cut, but don't cut natural sugars such as fruit and starches as you'll need those carbohydrates for glycogen which will be used when doing cardio.
Great job on the weight loss btw! 👍
@@CyclingSlim Oil causing a rise in blood sugar? Source?
@@s2korpionic oil and any dietary fat inhibits insulin, which means you have to produce more for the same effect. Giving you elevated blood sugar levels. Search up percivil Himmsworth who coined the terms insulin resistant and sensitivity.
Well done matey strong mind
Thanks pal!
I don't play games, but as a professional musician, sitting at a pc, I experienced the same problem, and now I am turning to my bike, to get fit and loose weight too,
Good going, I wish you well and if you need any help, you know where I am!
You fus to dah that weight off lol good on you mate I'm just about to start my journey I'm currently 21 stone(I think. Last year i was weighed at doctors at just over 20 and i know I've put on since then) just ordered a new bike and cant wait to get to it
Thanks bro 👊. Good job, if you need any help just let me know! Just make sure you don't calorie restrict to lose it!
@@CyclingSlim I'm just going to cut down on portion size and cut the dairy and meat right down and go for the meat free alternative. Any advice on a breakfast to keep me going for a free hours bike ride? I'm going to have more veggie currys and bean chilli on an evening rather than meat chips as a starting point
life is a mountain bike,when u stop pedaling you fall !
Agreed!
So classic. You quoted somebody’s or it’s original? Like what you said.
@@bluevalley82 idk man i just had it in my mind
True
What if ur going down a hill
What is your appinion on adaption like as I get fitter will I burn fewer calories at rest because of matabolism
I love that there was a hot dog ad in front of this video LMAO!
Oh google 🙄
2 things I like about this video. Cycle around Europe aka 20k. But from a gamer to building your own bike!!! 👊🏾👍🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Haha, thanks!
Same but I’m just buying a bike but scared I’ll break it do you think 32 spoke gravel bike would be good
I've had racing style wheels and even at big weights no issues, 32 is MORE than enough, I've rode ones with 20 or so spokes and as long as you're NOT bunny hopping and bumping up kerbs, you'll be fine!
i am obese gamer and trying to become a healthy cyclist... its hard to get rid my addiction in the games right now but at-least i find myself playing video games lesser time
I have helped clients with this kind of thing in the past. If you would like me to work with you one on one I can help you overcome this! If you'd like my help, drop me an email: craigstransformation@gmail.com and you can tell me more about your situation. Thanks.
im good.... i already starting to lose weight,, the key is enjoying cycling and never think about it as exercise to lose weight...
and i got mountain bike in the road XD
I'm a big guy 6'4 280 I want to bike but I'm embarrassed about what to wear. The typical cycling attire any advice?
Im late and youre probably already a beast, but i would like to leave this comment.
You should need a bike and a bike helmet (i dont know what its called) and thats all.
if you bike at night then you should get enough lights or lights thats bright enough for your bike to light up your way.
another tip you should probably get protectors for your knee or elbow and all, thats all i want to say. Safety first 👍
So I’m a 305lb dude starting cycling and I have a question for you. When you started your stomach was in the way too? Should I worry about keeping my knees in and lifting them into my stomach? Cause I keep getting these terrible abdominal pains unless I keep my knees out. I guess I’m asking if I should worry about form or just do whatever means I can do as much as possible?
It sounds like you would benefit by having a more upright seating position. The bike shop can make a few inches of tweaks (minimally invasive) by replacing the stem and the seat post, or handlebar style. If you have a newer bike, you can also move the spacers to the stem stack to raise the bars. If none of that works, a commuter style frame may be in order.
While the topic is here, be sure that you're actually fit to the bike. For 20+ years, I was riding 21 or 22 inch mountain bike frames, and now that I'm over 330lbs, it really exacerbated how poor my bike fit was. After a recent fitting, it turns out that I needed a smaller 19 or 20 inch frame to make things work for me.
Tbh, my fat was more evenly distributed, so I didn't just have the "pot belly" like alot of men. I didn't notice my belly getting in the way tbh. That sounds like cramping to me, I would look at your saddle position and consider altering it to suit, also look at the position of your handlebars. Are you on a road bike that is very far forward? If so I would consider a MTB as that will be more upright.
Cycling Slimmer I have a road bike. I’m making it work with some pedal extenders and my saddle position is higher now which helps. I am familiar with cramps this is different. Sharper, can continue for hours afterward. I suppose I should talk to my doctor about it.
Yes, definitely do that, you may have a hernia or even have ruptured organs, see your doctor immediately!
Make sure you're fitted to the bike. Some shops will do this for free. It is extremely important to avoid injury. Once you're fitted just stay consistent. Try fasted rides x3 per week in the morning. BTW, I cycle and crush (Strava) the younger guys in the area. I also game. All things in balance and moderation. No need to through gaming totally under the bus.
Great information but it was staggered.
Thanks, all about that watch time 👍
you little Ripper!
Thanks!
Amazing cycle fitness journey. Awesome fitness journey. Wonderful job.
Thank you so much! 😊
I want to get back into rugby and I also love biking so I’m trying to do 10miles a day everyday except Saturdays and then I might get back into my team and feel ashamed to be the fattest
did you mean fittest? I can't see you cycling daily and being the fattest in your group, unless ofc you are already extremely overweight? Good going though, keep consistent!
Better have a high carb transformation by now emre
Awesome do u play games now?
No, I haven't played a game for a while. I've played a few board games with my partner though if that counts?
Did you get rid of the heart palpatations after loosing weight? I have them and have just started cycling i am 60kg over weight
Yes pretty much, stress can also cause them and eating too much fat as it thickens your blood and can even cause little blockages.
@@CyclingSlim Thanks for replying, I have started plant based food, tried fasting but just dont last. How much should I start cycling each day on moutain bike on the road?
Thanks for putting your story up its helped me have some hope.
@@kimlarden486 Don't fast, I recommend 3+ meals a day.
I'd go by feel, so start with 30 minutes 4-5 times a week and see how feel. If too much you can dial it back to 15-20 mins or if good keep doing for a week or two and then maybe bump up to 40 mins a day. Always be sure to take at least 1-2 full rest days where you relax and don't get the heart rate up too high. And if fat lose is your goal, don't get too out of breath cycling. If you have a heart rate strap that's great, try to aim for zone 2 which you can calculate by doing 1 25 minute FTHR test which info can be found on Google for. If not just aim to point where u can breath ok and could have a convo, any more than that and there's a good chance u could be burning mostly glycogen. But tbh the most important aspect is diet. So focus on wholefoods plant based, aim for high nutrient foods and for dinner definitely eat the salad first before filling up on caloric dense starches etc. Limit or cut out refined sugar and salts and oils as these foods can really cause u to overeat as they Blunt the bodies natural senses and such. If you need more help I have a book too, (link in description) hope this helps. Also my wife is a health and weight loss coach and we have very similar knowledge, her channel is "The vegan solution".
any new content coming or should we go now
Yes ofc.
you should do some gaming videos, vr maybe?
or zwift
Nah, I don;t game often enough and don;t wanna be stuck indoors all day gaming, especially when I'm living in Thailand and the sun is out daily. Maybe if I lived in England again...
Zwift could be cool to do. But atm I don;t have a turbo, but zwift isn;'t really needed in Thailand, it's sunny daily.
I'm going to write a comment you remind me of me You Are Not Alone
Thanks, neither are you.
People should try waking everywhere lol
For sure they could do that too, but if want to use to actually get somewhere like work for example, it may not be as practical time wise as a bicycle.
@@CyclingSlim well, walking to work or somewhere short distance vs driving a car. Lol
@@Bhiladpy-up9uy Yes 100%
How do you make money?
Atm, teaching online.
are u enjoying your life and your current state right now? seems mondane as
Yes, I am, you don't see my life or have any idea. I'm not sure how you could get the idea that it seems mundane as. I'm doing what I want to do at any given time, if it became mundane, I'd simply stop doing it.
Not being funny , but maybe you should show us some of it cause your videos are mundane as! For someone that has achieved so much weight loss your channel should be better. You have a lot to offer, show it
I hate that everyday I say I’m gonna stop eating too much and start exercising but the next day I see food I just eat it... I’m mad at myself
It's not about eating to much, but eating to much of the wrong foods. If you eat the natural human diet (wholefoods plant based) you can eat large portions and eat until satisfied, due to high fibre it's self limiting! With the inclusion of a great diet, you'll be itching to exercise with all the energy!
Not everybody can be slim. But yes most of the time it is between the ears. And cycling is much kinder to back, knees, ankles then running. I often see fat people jogging and think my god, be careful.
Yes, everybody can be slim, that kind of mentality is what holds most people back. They think Ï'm meant to be fat" or "my family's fat so I should be fat" our bodies aren't designed to be excessively heavy.Yes anyone 20lbs overweight should NOT be running, walking is fine and building up to a jog maybe.
No millions of people can't be slim. Their genetics and health prevents them from being slim. Even someone's mental state can't always be overcome.
And jogging is worse then running.
You got some things to learn. That is what you should keep in mind. Don't start to accuse everyone who is fat just because you aren't anymore. Not all are as fortunate. Many can do it. Many can't.
All I see is a bunch of excuses from you. Weight loss can be achieved by following the correct diet, exercise doesn't even have to be involved in the case of disabled people. Nobody has "fat genetics" they just copy their fat parents and ancestors by eating the same unhealthy way.
@@driewiel no such thing as genetics stoping you be slim with that attitude that's why people are fat just pure excuses
@@danielkerr4100 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genetics_of_obesity
It's not like your stupidity for which there are no genetic causes.
Vegan ✊✊✊
Ftw 👌
Congratulations on your weight loss, but there's 1 thing I've noticed about you. You use filler words ALL THE TIME!!! Words like, "Um" "Err" "Like" etc. Got to work on that mate.
It is what it is bro, it's either that or take a pause!
Nice work. But why do you have to shame “gamers”... you were just obese....
Theres nothing wrong with having the occasional game an hour or 2 a day, but playing on games for hours at a time, thats no way to live and you WON'T achieve your goals that way! Life is a game. For sure it's fun to have a blast on Mario kart with friends during bad weather etc!
I ride my bike when it's nice out. I play my games, when it's miserable outside. People shouldn't blame being a slob on video games. Slobs have been around a lot longer.
Been playing games since atari , i now lost interest in gaming and follow the footsteps of this channel owner.I think its worth it,better than gym anyways.He is right, we are the gamers of our world,why do we need to play as other characters.I just realised that all this time,ive been sitting infront of an lcd monitor looking at moving pixels while not receiving any physical benefits from these actions.
Lmfaooooo
Whats funny?
Cycling Slim you
Yo dis racist
How "dis racist"? Being white seems to be racist in 2021 and seems to trigger liberals 🙄.
