This is a quick clip of the diet method I used to lose the weight. Sorry it is not included in the actual video. ua-cam.com/video/xvoKEsL6zbo/v-deo.html
I commented this on Reddit but I wanted to say it here too. This video came as such a shocking gut punch, I just I can’t believe it. I backed out of a cross country camping trip (with some of the most beautiful destinations all across the USA) a few years ago because this hike was on the agenda and I knew I wouldn’t be able to accomplish it. My friends would have understood. I’m obese and not fit at all. I was too ashamed to face that or admit that to them or myself. But backing out of that trip actually led to the downfall of a few relationships. Ever since the dark time of my life that came after I’ve only had one goal truly set for my life. To climb Longs Peak. It’s my ultimate life and weight loss goal. My own weird little secret plan, that I never get around to actually fulfilling. It’s crazy for me to watch you, a man who was close to my size, meet that goal I’ve been struggling with for years, in 6 months. Seeing this has struck me like lightning.. if anything ever has ever inspired me, it’s you and our common goal.
This brought tears to my eyes. Several years ago I lost 90 pounds, the beginning was just like yours. Couldn't take it anymore. I feel so happy for you bro
My apologizes to everyone. Idiot that I am attempted to view the video on my TV through my phone, when I thought I was deleting it from the video cue, I was actually deleting it from my UA-cam account. I reached out to UA-cam about restoring the video, they can not. Luckily I had a back up video, unfortunately the near 71k views are gone forever. Of course I'm bummed about losing the most amount of views any of my videos have ever gotten, but I am grateful the video was backed up. So again, apologizes to everyone who thought this was something new.
I wasn't one of the original 71K viewers, but I just wanted to say that this was very inspiring and I am so happy that you took control of your life. You look fantastic, and literally climbed the mountain. Awesome job, bro!
I wouldn't worry about it. in the long run, 70k views for a video like this isn't noticeable. this could hit a million in a few months time if it gets shared around properly. I already watched the whole thing a second time just because I wanted to watch it all over again
Paul Casey and Desinc Thank you both! I really appreciate it. I was truly amazed it hit the 71k originally and blown away that I’m back up to 32k Did not think that would happen.
Thank you for the wake up call! I never realized that I had given up on life. Living day to day in a fast paced city life and not living for life but to exist. I thank you again for your eye opening words and great attitude. Best wishes on keeping g it up!
I just did Longs Peak a few months ago with my little brother. It was one of the most terrifying and challenging things I've ever done, and I only weigh 160 lbs. Incredible achievement, well done.
Keith Holt Many thanks for the inspirational video and the encouragement. I used to be a sportsman. Back in 2005 I went into a state of depression. My lifestyle became sedentary and consequently I became overweight. But after watching this video, I've found a new resolve to get back into shape. Thank you for your inspirational content. May God bless you.
brrruh I'm on my first month hiking everyday accept for Sunday actually but yeah no joke. And people saying I look and feel so much better. I relate to you big time dude. Much luv. And God bless. respect. I can't wait till I'm 6 months in.
You are so, so freaking charismatic. Absolutely determined from the very first clip you shot, I had no doubts you'd smash it. And look at you!! Your inner confidence is awesome...thank you so much. You looked lovely before, and even lovelier now!!!
You just made me cry - i was a cross country runner but the constant asthma stumped it. I tried other workouts but ran into the similar problem & the phobia of getting an attack has stopped me. I stuck to walking for a very lo g time until one day i decided to go up the hills nearby my house. Ive never felt better. just recently started but the last few weeks after completing my hike i feel accomplished, a feeling i haven’t felt since i was a runner in my teens, a feeling i never thought i would have again that i shed tears when i got to the top of the hill. Thank you- you prove it can be done !!
Thank you for watching and commenting and thank you for sharing your story with me. It’s an amazing feeling to accomplish something that felt impossible at one point. You’re doing great and that’s fantastic! Keep up the great work!
Motivational!! I was around 175 last year but I now weight 243 and I’m trying to get back to 175 and you sir are very positive and loved seeing your journey!
Last year was a disaster for me as well. I am currently working on getting back at it myself. I hope hearing this doesn’t disappoint you. I am post weekly vlogs if you’d like to check them out. I’m in the process of wrapping up week 6 tomorrow. Thank you for watching and commenting.
I'm honored to have the first video you commented on! Thank you for the kind words. I am very proud of this and as a result of this period of my life there have many wonderful adventures!
Kyrious Thank you! Reddit seems to be the only platform that helps me promote this video. I really appreciate you coming to the channel and commenting.
Congratulations...this video is exactly what i was looking for. I used to be an avid hiker & backpacker until 23 years ago, thats when my weight slowly increased from normal to my heaviest at 357 and my health declined (i'm currently at 306). My goal over the next 5 months is to lose the weight so I can get back into hiking, something I have always loved. My plan is to hike a loop trail in the Superstition Mountains east of Phoenix in February. It will be my first hike in over 20 years. Thank you for the video upload and inspiration.
This is so inspiring I have been gaining weight and today I bought healthy food and bought some hiking boots to start my weight loss journey!!! I know you will gain your views back
Michelle Mendoza Thank you so much! Good luck with your journey. I know from personal experience that at times it can be stressful. Just take it one day at a time and do the best you can. Setbacks can happen, but it’s just another part of the journey. Every so often I relapse a bit, but then I refocus, motivate and get back on course. It took a while, but I did get the views back. Thanks again!
Hi!! Thank you so much for checking this out. I had such a great time on Friday. I really enjoyed meeting you. You are one of the coolest people I’ve ever met! I hope I’m lucky enough to see you again while I’m in Georgia!
I'm not saying I wanna weight 400 pounds. But I can just imagine the motivation seeing such drastic results just from a couple of weeks. Being a 160 pound dude I've given up multiple times because I'm just not getting any results before I've had enough. Not taking away any of your work by saying this I hope, it's impressive as hell!
Keith thank you for vídeo. I am doing the same journey... but with your. Video it made me feel I’m Not alone and TRUST me I feel your pain ... Keep working hard.. Congratulations
I remember my weight loss journey, I've always loved food-maybe a little too much 😂😂 but I was 19 and nearly 280lbs and I around 110 lbs down to 170, and I'm also 5'7 so yes that's pretty big for being short. Well now I'm nearly 30 and I've gained a lot back over the years, currently at 230lbs. Back in the day I would hike twice a day, that and watching my diet was how I lost all the weight. I lost motivation over the years but I'm gonna do it again, maybe not twice a day but 5x a week I'll be hiking. I'm super excited to start, and good on you for making such an incredible change.
Well done Keith I know where you have came from your story is amazing, I've lost 120lb just changing my lifestyle keep up the great work. 👍 Have to have a look at your diet method.
This is better than ANY weight-loss TV show or motivation montages out there. I'm fired up! You're an inspiration, Keith! Showing this video to anyone that will watch 😮😊
Keith Holt I dropped 52 and have been maintaining. I need to get back into the groove myself and get rid of this other 48. I also want to thank you for your service to our great country.
Holy crap that's impressive. Amazing accomplishment you should definitely feel proud of! I hadn't seen the original upload, so I very much appreciate the re-upload.
Dude, thank you for posting this on Reddit where people could see it. I have some medical issues that make it a little harder for me to lose and exercise, but this still inspired me a lot. I'm gonna show this to my husband, too. I think it'll help him as well. Awesome work, man. You really are an inspiration. 💕
E B I have my fair of issue too. My hope is people will see it’s not impossible to come back from it. All I did was count calories and take a walk every day. Nothing over complicated or crazy. Thank you for watching this.
I said on your last video, but I'll say it again, and again, and again. Your transformation is an inspiration! Keep it up, keep the weight off, and enjoy your wonderful new body and all the amazing places it can take you.
Keith Holt I’m currently creeping over 300 pounds and I’m tired of being in this state. I’m 25 years old, and it’s only a matter of time before diseases begin to afflict me. Thank you for your efforts, you have seriously made me reflect on myself and made me believe I can do it. Wish you the best!
Saw your comment on Joe Rogan man, I’m about to start my journey, I just want to thank you for the motivation to start this, good luck on journey aswell ✊🏽
This is awesome. I'm exactly 100 lbs overweight and looking to use walking, hiking, and diet to get the weight off and stay active for life... way to go man, seriously!
On a journey myself, my goal was much smaller, not some 14r, you rock! Scratch that, my new goal is a thru hike and Mt Whitney, great inspirational video!
Those are awesome goals! I’m planning on taking on the Grand Canyon in the fall. I was going to do it this last spring, but with all that’s going on I had to put it off.
I’m really proud of you. I’m totally inspired by you and your video. I was choking up and holding in my cry the entire time... You are a beautiful man. Your decision has reached and will continue to reach far beyond your wildest dreams I’m sure. Thank you so much for sharing the journey🙏🏽
Valentin Moritz Thank you! Trust me, I don’t think I’ve ever been prouder. I really thought I was going to die from the weight gain I went through. I even told myself if I somehow died during all this it was still worth it. Thank you for watching.
Meezy Thank you so much! It takes between January thru July in 2018. I continue to look back at this as one of the best times of my life. I hope you are doing well in these crazy times.
@@KeithHoltupthepeak '94 and '98. My last 14'er I hiked was Mt. Bierstadt in 2017 which is a easy 14'er compared to Longs, but it was very difficult for me to finish the hike. This was kind of my wake up call to get back in shape...
Thank you for sharing your story. I desperately need to do this too, but I need a goal like you had. I am a stranger, on the internet, but I am still proud of you. I hope people can be proud of me too someday. I'd be very interested to hear what your diet was during those 6 months.
that__one__guy Thank you for the nice comment. If it helps, there is a video where I cover the diet. There is a link in the description. I wish you all the luck getting yourself to where you want to be. The hardest part is getting started, but once you do, you’ll be glad you did! Thank you again.
This is EXACTLY what I needed to see.... I just put down my soda, only to write this, but it will be one of if not my last for awhile. I used to play professional soccer, I've been in great shape before.... I have a wicked disease called Rheumatoid arthritis. It has kept me in bed an average of 3 days a week and caused me to gain almost double my weight from 170 to whatever I am today..... Thanks for posting this. I really appreciate it. Sorry you had to lose your views, but maybe I can help with that....
Leveck Family Thank you for helping with the views! I really appreciate it. It took me some time to get my drive back with the weight loss. But if I can do it, then you can too!
@@KeithHoltupthepeak I don't think it really means anything necessarily for you to say if you could do it anyone can. Obviously you finally got to that point where you changed, your drive kicked in and the time was right and you did it. Drive and determination had to come from somewhere. That's what I'm struggling with now. There had to be some event something that triggered all this right? Can you share what that was for you? I think you're stronger than you let yourself believe I don't think anybody could do it just because you did it.
The first video I posted was called Day 0. It was something I filmed before anything. I talk about my depression, some other issues I have and talked about my goals. In a way, I forced myself out of my depression and by calling myself out and putting it all out there it helped me stay the course. I really did think I was coming to the end, and after all I have accomplished in my life, it wasn't the end I wanted. I still battle the depression and there are days I wonder if what I did really made a difference. In my heart I know it did, but then that's why depression is so nasty. The best advice I can give (if you want it) call yourself out. Look at who you are and if you don't like it, get pissed and use that to motivate you. You'll find that anger evolve into something better, something more pure. But you have to do it for yourself because you want too. Ask yourself what you want. I really hope that helps in some way.

Great attitude. You own that it was you that need to change and its you that needs to change. No excuses, no blame.
Good job Keith! I'm on my own journey to get back in shape to be able to hike Longs Peak again.
Awesome! When did you first hike up it?
@@KeithHoltupthepeak '94 and '98. My last 14'er I hiked was Mt. Bierstadt in 2017 which is a easy 14'er compared to Longs, but it was very difficult for me to finish the hike. This was kind of my wake up call to get back in shape...
Awesome Story!! Congratulations and thank you for sharing.

Awesome job, Keith! Really enjoyed watching this. Congratulations on your journey and your achievements thus far! Longs is a beast.
Hiking in Colorado Longs is a beast, but so worth it! Thank you for watching.
Congratulations man! Best video I've seen all week. Keep up the good work. Very inspiring.
Mydarkarmy Thank you!
Thank you for sharing your story. I desperately need to do this too, but I need a goal like you had. I am a stranger, on the internet, but I am still proud of you. I hope people can be proud of me too someday. I'd be very interested to hear what your diet was during those 6 months.
that__one__guy Thank you for the nice comment. If it helps, there is a video where I cover the diet. There is a link in the description. I wish you all the luck getting yourself to where you want to be. The hardest part is getting started, but once you do, you’ll be glad you did! Thank you again.
Awesome! I'll check it out!@@KeithHoltupthepeak
This is a got damn inspiration! Congratulations!
Josh Needham Thank you!
Keith you are the best!!!! 👍
This is EXACTLY what I needed to see....
I just put down my soda, only to write this, but it will be one of if not my last for awhile.
I used to play professional soccer, I've been in great shape before....
I have a wicked disease called Rheumatoid arthritis. It has kept me in bed an average of 3 days a week and caused me to gain almost double my weight from 170 to whatever I am today.....
Thanks for posting this. I really appreciate it. Sorry you had to lose your views, but maybe I can help with that....
Leveck Family Thank you for helping with the views! I really appreciate it. It took me some time to get my drive back with the weight loss. But if I can do it, then you can too!
@@KeithHoltupthepeak I don't think it really means anything necessarily for you to say if you could do it anyone can. Obviously you finally got to that point where you changed, your drive kicked in and the time was right and you did it.
Drive and determination had to come from somewhere.
That's what I'm struggling with now.
There had to be some event something that triggered all this right? Can you share what that was for you?
I think you're stronger than you let yourself believe I don't think anybody could do it just because you did it.
The first video I posted was called Day 0. It was something I filmed before anything. I talk about my depression, some other issues I have and talked about my goals. In a way, I forced myself out of my depression and by calling myself out and putting it all out there it helped me stay the course. I really did think I was coming to the end, and after all I have accomplished in my life, it wasn't the end I wanted. I still battle the depression and there are days I wonder if what I did really made a difference. In my heart I know it did, but then that's why depression is so nasty. The best advice I can give (if you want it) call yourself out. Look at who you are and if you don't like it, get pissed and use that to motivate you. You'll find that anger evolve into something better, something more pure. But you have to do it for yourself because you want too. Ask yourself what you want. I really hope that helps in some way.
Awesome Keith, i am very glad you managed it, it makes me smile. Thank you for a good video sir :)
