I don’t think it’s a coincidence you quit nicotine and gained weight it’s really common. Nicotine kills food cravings
its a stimulant that accelerates metabolism on top of it
So true, I smoke right now, trying to quit, I quit before for like a year and I gained a ton of weight, I actually got to the most I've ever weighed, then I started smoking again, long story, and I lost like 50lbs... I hate it
I love how pure your content is no crazy edit ing just you talking and filming
love these videos you look happier and more motivated!
Thank you!! Glad you’ve noticed
My guy is actually training for the next uphill race 😂😂
Uphill Skateboard Slalom. Brilliant! 😂
This video is basically me right now, I’ve slowed down on skating recently and gained some weight (very similar to you actually) and just started to focus and keeping more active. Getting old is wild. Also loving these home improvement and whatever these videos are lol
Hey Garrett, this is like you, but from the future talking aight...
3 weeks ago, I saw myself on a video I filmed, playing with my baby daughter on the sofa in the living room, and I'm like, wow I've never been this chubby.
The very next day, I decided i'd count every single calories that goes in, it was too time consuming so I only did it that day. But that gave me such a huge insight on calories, anyway... Today I weighted myself and I'm down 10lbs from 3 weeks ago. I'm doing approx 500 calories deficit too, and oh boy have I walked. Averaged 7.5k steps a day.
This is just me telling you to stick to the plan, and be proud of it ! You got this
Life catches up with us all dude, but if I can offer 1 bit of advice - try not to be too hard on yourself for feeling the way you feel. The other thing to remember is since 2020 the whole world has gone through a global pandemic and we all had to change the way we lived. That has impacts on your mental health which can impact your physical health. You should be proud of that fact that you're being proactive and looking to get 'slimmer' because that's what YOU want to do, and not because of social peer pressure.
Anyway, loving the content dude. Been a big fan of yours for years now, so sending love and best wishes on your new journey ❤
It literally terrifies me when you skate that bank with those death spikes just chillin there. Move them!😂
The thumbnail caught me really off guard😂
Wow just seeing this video now and gotta say, I’m so proud of you that you’ve stopped vaping bro!! Not something that’s easy and I’m glad you’ve got trough that and are trying to live healthier ❤❤❤
I really appreciate you making this video Garrett. I've gone through the same thing the past couple of years struggling with my body image. I grew up similarly, super healthy upbringing, got into vaping and eating crappier, being active less, and it's hard to be unhappy with your body. I hope things work out, I'm using this as motivation for sure. Keep grinding
I’m so proud of you brother. This is a hard thing to show especially being self conscious. But I’m going to do the same thing. I got me a lil belly going on now and have been wanting to change life habits. So this is nice to share a journey with you my brother. Also I miss gaming with you dude. Hit me up sometime xDD
Thank you for sharing the journey brother. I was the same as you (I'm 34 now) and I recently got diagnosed with pre diabetes and super low vitamin D levels so I've now changed my diet and going to get back on the board again. Please keep us up to date with your weight loss as it's a real boost for myself and others to get out there and get fit
I've been watching you for years and I legitimately love the new content and happy to see you back on the grind of doing UA-cam videos. Congrats on the new house!!
Forget about looks, pursuit of health (which is objective) is generally justified on its own. Appearance (and what not) tends to improve as a consequence of pursuing health, and can be a seem as an indicator.
my guy is on a weight loss journey thats awsomee!, if you pair your cardio with weight training you will have even better results, keep it up I love your content!
hi garrett!! loving this series!!
Really appreciate this video, Garrett. Love your authenticity and so much of what you said is extremely relatable too.
"Body is two out of ten right now" lol dude you did it man !! Suffering lets us all enjoy the positive that much more
I really love this new era you are in. Keep killing it!
8:38 he has a garage door addiction!!!! Hahaha
The move has definitely put you in a better place mentally and it's moving to other places like you wanting to be in a physical shape you'd feel happy with. Also congrats on quitting dude, that ish is not easy to just quit cold turkey.
Thanks for the vulnerability, bruh. You’re on an extraordinary run of videos chock full of realness. It is a pleasure spending time with you these days 🤙🏼
Just drink Vodka and don't eat 🤣
Hahahahaha
Works every time
That is top secret information bro gotta charge 5 bucks for that knowledge at least
You want bros liver to fail? 😂 I been there, it’s not fun
Vodka has calories just generally the least. Basically all non mixed stuff has the same. I used to have a bottle a day with like a 500 calories sandwich on the side. That's still like 2800 calories a day though. I was in my early 20s though so that was around maintenance. Glad that chapter is done haha
I quit vaping myself last January after having a nicotine addiction for 9 years. It’s definitely one of the hardest addictions to quit. It does ruin a lot of ties I had with friends and almost all relationships I had in that span were affected by my addiction which caused them to fail. But I’m glad you kicked it because I know where you are coming from Garrett! I definitely get cravings to smoke from time to time but I begin to think of all that progress that I’ve made and I just fight the urge and distract myself with something else.
Moving is tough. Some people say it is more tough than losing a significant other... in other words it's stressful and easy to gain weight. Don't get too upset about the weight gain but just get after it and do your thing and you'll lose the weight for sure. I moved last year and finally am shaking off the weight in a similar fashion. You'll get it. Stick with it bro! 💪
I can relate big time! I stopped skating my junior year of high school and blew up to 200 pounds too. Skating burned a lot more calories than I thought and I used to eat whatever and however much I wanted. Retrospectively, it kind of made sense because I used to spend hours at the skatepark as a kid. I started dieting and working out like insane to try to get back to that lower weight. I got back into skating but even now with my work/school schedule I really need to make sure I track how many calories I eat. I’ve been tracking my diet and weight every day for the past 5 years now but it’s worth it. Honestly seems like the only way I could keep that 50 pounds off 😅
6:54 in my experience, losing weight or getting in shape is difficult until you learn what works for that your body type. It took me about 18 months to figure out what worked for me! You’re lucky you were able to learn something from your family!! Get those gains Garret!!!
First time watching your videos and love the honesty and content. I’ll be watching all new stuff. Congrats on the move, looks epic. Cheers
Sending positive vibes bro, love your content, you'll be fit af in no time dawg 💪
You don’t look that bad my guy 🧦 it was just a bulking season and now you’re on the road to getting where you wanna be, you made the biggest step which is starting keep it up you got this! 😎👍🏼 thanks for the vid 🙏🏼 and you’re awesome you got this! 😁
Bro you're not even that big. I try to focus on being physically healthy yes but also what physical activity does for me mentally. You got this bro, you're not alone. Physical is only one part. Theres being spiritually fit, and emotionally as well.
If it makes you feel any better, Lamont is like 2 times your size 😂
This made me lol
Lamont is helping Garrett psychologically in a lot of different ways 😂😂
Y'all leave Lamont alone 😂
You got this on the whole health journey. I've been doing a 500ish calorie deficit for about a year and a half now (with some "cheat days" in there) and I'm down about 50 pounds since I started
is there snow in the winter?
Nooo not the TMZ ahh thumbnail 😭😭 but you got this Garrett, thanks for sharing with us man. Apple/Samsung watches and fit bits are really helpful in the activity tracking even when skating (if youre into those), would usually automatically count during my sessions. Also, "Look at that view tho" merch when? 😂
TMZ ahhhh thumbnail 😂😂😂
Nice bro! Since last July I’ve lost 60lbs it’s been wild. Definitely more motivation and that’s cause I’m a solid 215 rn so always room to improve. 🤘🏽
You need to bring back skate summit
I try to do 200 sit ups and 200 Push ups every night before bed. Cardio workouts really suck though.
Change the situps with pull ups for more efficency ;)
Dont shame yourself too much. Sometimes, we have a lot of stress, and we forget to do what's really important. Thats what makes us human. We cant be perfect all of the time.
This was very inspiring!! Thank you garrett 🤙 also you're not fat by any means I don't understand why people can be so mean. As long as you're comfortable in your own skin that's all that matters and if you're not you change up your routine just like you said. Proud of you bro!! 👏
wait this dude seamlessly just told us the biggest secret about his personal life lol i wouldve never guessed..proud of you man i smoked for 10 years and quit in 2022
I prefer watching the tripod footy 😊🎉 so sick park
Dope video I love how you use your driveway as a kicker/ hip think you could throw sum crazy tricks off that😂💯
over the past few years ive gone up in weight myself (im at 218lbs) working my way down to a nice 190 and possibly 175-180 is the goal! was on a plateau for a lil while and i figured out it was becuz i was mostly just sitting around most days not really being active other than lifting weights at the gym 3 times a week and it just goes to show, you can do everything else correct, deficit, eating healthier and still not really progress in the best way. so me starting to skate again has help me go past that plateau which i am incredibly happy about! ordered a new 8.5 birch santa cruz board with some krux 8.5s and SF F4 Classics 52mm. cant wait to skate all summer and relearn stuff from 15 years ago
Let’s goooo! stoked to hear you’re working towards that goal!
True. I think a lot of people after Covid just got lazy. I’ve been on the same grind. For me, I’m shorter, started Covid at 140 lbs, working out all the time. Fast forward, I’m 40 lbs heavier at 180, with not working out. Personally, I cut out alcohol and started working out again. Have cut down 10 lbs so far. Hoping to get down to at least 150 this year.
10:22 Yo, that was a really pretty kickflip, it was perfect.
16:36 you should give John Hill an invite to your park!!!
Bro how did you quit vaping? I’m high key struggling so hard to quit
Love this type of video
I am 47. At the start of the year i stopped drinking anything exept black coffee, hot tea, or water (and one great beer every two weeks) i dropped 20 pounds in January. Apparently i was doing an extra 2K calories worth of workouts each day and was just maintaining a 210 lifestyle. I felt fine. I didn't plan to lose weight, the idea was to stop spending money on drinks all the time. Now 185. Lightest i have been since 2004. I have saved over $3000 from not buying drinks energy drinks, sodas, Gatorade and mindless snacks when i stop in to buy a beverage.
As someone who ran track in HS and did crossfit until they were 20, who is now almost 27. Do you have any advice for working my way back into it? I feel like Id be gassed doing a simple mile now and i can never get myself to start back up.
The deficit calorie is definitely helping. Many people think is a matter of exercising as much as possible, you could literally sit on the couch all day long whilst being on a deficit and loose weight lol. You got this!
8:02 👏👏👏
Garrett the fitness influencer with another banger 🔥
I was working for half a year at a local place because I couldn’t change my Major (in uni) in time and when I started working there I was exactly 79-80 kg’s. When I left that place (in February this year) I was around 86-87!!! I could barely skate when I was working because I had to do triplw shifts so yeah it was rough. When I could finally stand on my board again I could barely land anything let alone push a line for more than a minute because I got so winded so fast.
Long story short: I finally took my time eating healthier, working out every morning when my body feels it and man I went from 86 to 81,5 since February. Not to mention skating feels soooo much better , actually better than before.
Proud of you quitting nicotine! I felt that, was hooked hard for 4 years but after thanksgiving in 2022 i threw away my vape and have never looked back since. One of my greatest decisions for sure. Now been on the journey to help others around me quit as well
im on 6 weeks w out vaping after 10 years of smoking/vaping so hearing you say that gave me so much hope 😂
embrace getting older but take care of your health. I really mean that, I wish you the best in your journey but really embrace growing older. that is something I learned in mylife.
Getting older and being less active contributed marginally. Quitting nicotine and eating junk food were the largest factors. Now that you're getting older you can't eat b******* like that. Even if you don't put on weight it'll catch up to you in other ways. If you want to be in shape use the fat that you're putting on from quitting nicotine to build muscle which will in turn burn more fat and increase your metabolism again. You don't have to get jacked. When I started working out again I noticed an improvement in my skating and that's what motivated me to stay in the gym and get fit.
I’m a type 1 diabetic and lost 25 pounds in 2.5 months you’d be amazed what can happen with just some minor diet changes and some exercise
Fellow type 1 here !!!
You do low carb high fat?
@@CarsCatAliens for the first 3 years yes once I got on my pump and my A1c all in control I was able too work with my diatition and make a full diet
@@maceisaiah Nice .I was on pump and cgm for. a few years, lost my insurance for a while. Now for some reason I am super sensitive to insulin. I can use 1 unit to correct and drop 50pts.. always a battle ,keep fighting!
Motivation comes in Many ways, from so many different directions. It will fuel the fire . It's how the fire is controlled , that counts. I cant wait to see ya get to your goal .
ya dude switch back 5050s are insane to me, can 3 flip 5 0 and do switch frontside nosegrinds easy... but anything switch backside feels literally impossible to me
from one man to another the further we get into our twenties the more common it is for our weight to fluctuate, you actually like healthy and happy
if you want to burn fat somewhat fast then try this. used to wrestle for years in school but, we would run 2 miles for practice and do 1 mile with sweats on like thick sweats and run fast pace mile and then casual pace the last mile. toss in 100 push ups + 100 sit up/crunches/ab roller through out the day and you will be gucci after a month. the hardest part is the running but, you already run 4 miles casually so it would super easy
Another day of vicariously living through the big GG
you're so right about switch being annoying, because you know how the trick works and feels, but there's a disconnect between body and brain.
i don't know how long it'll take me to switch kickflip/
Right!! It’s so frustrating hahaha
My Dr. asked me how long I've been smoking for... The answer is 22 years... Saying that out loud woke me up. Don't get me wrong I enjoy smoking not going to lie, but
... I have a box of nicotine patches waiting for me when I make that decision in the very near future.. I told myself this is my year for quitting life long addictions. No matter how big,or how small.
You got this!!
thats great just make sure you're not replacing addictions with other ones
@@championfnsm Thats why I said ALL lifetime addictions small and large
@@CarsCatAliens oh ok mb g
@@championfnsm it ain't like that, I have some way more serious things I need to stop in my life after 24 years of bs.... I hope my last comment didnt come off as crass. I appreciate your advice though cause I definitely have done time and time again.....
Quit snuff almost a year ago after 25 years of use. 20kg heavier.... 44! pounds... I take confort in that I atleast look intimidating with clothes on... That said, time to get on the grind.
I started smoking at 14 and managed to quit when I was 30. I was at 2 packs a day and felt like garbage, but in the 5 years since I quit I feel amazing.
What I learned in that 16 years is that nicotine/smoking is the dumbest thing ever. It's pointless, y'all don't need it, y'all will be fine without it. Just kick the habit
Re-pave that kicker drive way and you’re set playa
Glad you're working on taking better care of yourself while you're still young 😊
Love these type of video
Another really enjoyable video dude! I really love your content 🙏🏻
Bro don’t forget age man, I was in the same boat as you and it creeps up on u. I could eat or drink literally what ever I wanted in my 20s early 30s than noticed all of a sudden I couldn’t 😅
Cuttin out the nicotine probably makin ya gain weight too
I use to have a fast metabolism too. 29 now truck driver and I gained a lot of weight. And same thing I hate how I look now. So I just make fun of myself before anyone else can. lol.
Nicotine is pretty crazy in terms of keeping weight off, it reduces food cravings and increases metabolism by 10-15% depending on the person. So you used to be able to eat 10-15% more food and you'd naturally want to eat less. I do nicotine pouches for that very reason, never smoked or vaped my entire life but I watched a Huberman podcast where he broke down nicotine in depth and it's really debatable whether or not it's bad for you given the benefits, but it's definitely addictive and keeps people smoking cigarettes which is awful. I would never smoke, but pouches work great for me and I feel great at a lower weight. If you feel better off nicotine though then just take some Lizzo and keep the weight off that way. lol
I don’t know why, but I feel like Garrett runs in Jorts
HAHAHAHA
I know your feels; I grew up as that skinny boi who could eat anything, and then (at about your age, I'm 39 now) I started to pack on unhealthy weight. Long story short, over a decade, I hit the official mark of obesity. About 5 years ago, I made the changes I needed to, and now I'm right back to my natural lanky form hahaha! But yeah, I've literally been to obesity and back. For so many years, I absolutely hated seeing myself in a mirror. I don't have a point, other than when it comes to body image issues, I totally understand. But I also understand that we ALL have the power to change it, no BS!
Age definitely has a lot to do with it. No matter how active you are once you reach late twenties or so you need to actually give some effort to not gain weight.
Bro youll get back in shape super fast. Your still pretty healthy.
going threw the same body type change as me. got motivation for me to start the grind again
Get it!
dude don't drink, prod would drink in some of his videos and like prod is now sitting inside a zen pod ellavating his life quit drinking quit vaping keep skating and being awesome dude much love for you and ur content been following you sense you where just coming up in the street videos
Haven’t finished the video (in case you say this) but you could buy a scale to measure the things you eat and track your calories with some app like ‘lose it’ or ‘my fitness pal’ along with your exercises so you can be sure that you’re on a calorie deficit
That helped me tho, hope that helps man
This video makes me definitely wanna ride my bike every day in the morning and try to skate everyday
Your age is probably the main reason for the weight gain. 27 is when my metabolism slowed down. Running is bad for muscle retention during a cut. I’d just go for 2 mile walks, 7,000-10,000 steps a day is sufficient. Id recommend getting an Apple Watch to monitor your activity. You skate enough that honestly just lowering your caloric intake would be sufficient imo.
I was a smoker for 15 years, then switched to vaping then quit that a year ago. If you use vaping properly to quit smoking it works well.
that sofa in the corner ,you should turn it 90 degrees ,also how do you feel about a slappy curb and or rainbow rail in your street zone could be fun for when you have company
Ive 35 been 125 most of my life had a doctor appointment today.... 165. Im in the shorter side so def got a similar build to you right now. It feels defeating for sure
been loving this series from the uk 🇬🇧 ❤
august 27 is my bday! best bday gift thanks garrett :)
It’s just water weight 😂
Jokes aside Just know we support you no matter what, vaping, over eating, less skating, whatever! Also I knew you were vaping bc discord
ur content is genuinely awesome
Garrett is Super Saiyan
Considering the alternative, getting older isn't awful.
I'm struggling with weight gain too. I used to be 150lb, and now I'm like 200 pounds. 😵
Your new house looks like your old deck 😂
Loving the motivation for the running bro 👊🏻
You should get yourself a Apple Watch ⌚️ you don’t have to worry about your phone 📱
This is literally me right now i understand how you feel lol
I stopped skating because I moved to Tennessee during the move and a couple months after 😂i started eating more but now I’m hitting the gym and running a mile when I hit the gym I also took my fast metabolism for granted as I got older
1:02 Sunscreen brother. ❤
Get yourself a Ninja Creami and some chocolate protein powder. That'll help with the evening treat cravings.
