Thank you for your honesty and transparency. I was 250, and you inspired me to start riding everyday and lose the weight! I’m a month in and I’m 230 now!!! Keep it up and so will I!
That’s so cool dude!
That’s what’s up bro, I’m 250lbs and I’m 5’5 in height pretty short and obese due to not being active and poor health choices; over drinking and over eating. I’m trying to loose as much as possible to get down to 140lb where I’d be considered normal weight for my age 23. Any advice for a a beginner bike rider? Much appreciated God bless ✌️😎
@@elgordo5.328 How has your journey been so far??
@@elgordo5.328 your name💀🤣
Hopefully with the goals you have you can change your name to "el flako"😂
Wow 20 pounds in a month
Dude, come on man you’ve got this! Don’t let defeatism into your life now. You can hear how disappointed you are when you slip up and that resulted in not achieving your goals. As you say, you’re self sabotaging. Focus on how good it felt to succeed - I have complete faith in you.
And yes I watched till the end 😂
Glad ya liked it. I was looking forward to seeing what you had to say.
Yes but don't punt go for the touch down!!
Tru tube so encouragement is like piss??
@@PaulThePunter practice what you preach LOL
Bro never trust a scale trust a mirror. U were gaining muscle 💯🙏🏽
Good stuff 👍
Remember that weight loss is like the trails we love to ride....it’s up and down, rocky, and worth the work we have to put into it. Don’t worry on the weight and recognize that you’re becoming more fit and a better B1KER!!!!
Wise words brother!
Losing weight like this is a much more sustainable way of losing weight, and remembering muscle weighs more than fat is also important, keep going my dude you're smashing it 👌
Thanks dude
I love how you are so real in these videos. Keep at it bro, you'll get there. It's a winding journey, not a highway.
I appreciate that! Thanks man.
Man Love that you are honest about it, I'm in month 9, I have lost 111 Pds, but you hit the nail on the head its not easy your mind wants to take a break and you start accepting the excuses that got you in your situation. But I have decided in Jan to stop accepting my BS excuses and get it so I will continue, Glad you came to the same conclusion success will be ours, I have 50 more to go so lets get it man. Truly Happy for you dude.
David Carrasquillo - keep it up! That is awesome!
Right on man! I'm just going to put this out there. Why wait until January? Get after it bud!
@@B1KER I told myself no more excuses Jan of 2020, hence the 111 pound weight loss already lol. I'm going to send in a video for your challenge.
David Carrasquillo how have you lost that weight?
@@hughsnyder891 in short, I stopped drinking, do intermittent fasting and eat roughly 2k calories a day. Keeping my food simple, protein and vegetables. I have a fitbit and it started with a 9k step a day goal, then I started riding after a few months. After that is just staying consistent. And keep pedaling
These videos lately shows a different side of you Rob. Vulnerable yet determined to suceed. More power to you brother.
I've always been that way. It's why I could be 300lbs doing monster rides at high elevation.
DUDE, you are doing so well. It’s incredible. You’re already down 42lbs!!! That’s no small accomplishment. Keep killing it brother 🍻
That’s the plan!
Just keep grinding. I know we are our own worst critics, but you have inspired more people than you probably realize. I know you have inspired me. I have taken things a lot more serious since you dropped that first video. Now if I had some personality I would drop a video, but that is yet to be decided lol.
Hahahaha, you don't need more personality. Just tell your story.
This is so real especially with sticking to my routine and not seeing the results so I start self sabotaging.
It happens. Just don’t let it stop you from trying.
You’re on the right track. You’re going to hit a plateau since you’re starting to gain more muscle mass. Once you get passed it you will start dropping weight again
I hear ya.
You have to ditch motivation, it doesn't last. It has to become routine, something you don't even think about.
Very true!
Dedication not motivation!
Love how honest you are and love watching the effort! You got this bruh!
I appreciate that!
Love how you got "motivated" at the end of the video! Keep it up because its motivating me to keep it up!
Thank you! Will do!
great motivation, thanks!! 80 lbs is a lot. Look at it as a long hard MTB hill climb - You'll never get there by sprinting. The best way is to grind away, and don't stop till you get "to the top". Cheers!
Very true!
Man this is emotional, inspirational and totally awesome. Keep it up buddy, you rock and you’re doing amazing. Losing weight is a rollercoaster on so many levels and you’re on top of it. Some good weeks, some bad weeks but the trend is down, you’re losing it hand over fist, big kudos to you! Respect!
Glad ya dig it man.
Great job!! I like how you show us both the ups and downs of your journey. you are inspiring and motivating many of us!
Thanks man. I want to be real with people. This isn’t easy.
I am loving the weight loss updates. Dude, you can see the progress in you face already. It sounds like you have managed to get in to some good routines, which is F***ing hard to find the motivation to do (so kudos to you man!). I work as a physiologist (Sport Scientist) in the UK and a large part of my job is helping people make changes to their health and lives like you have. You are nailing it, so keep up the awesome work! On the days it feels tough, read all the UA-cam comments that you get. So many people are rooting for you. You got this dude!
The only thing I struggle with is wanting to have a bunch of beers with the boys post ride. Otherwise the eating and what not isn't hard to do. I'm just fighting the lazy person I am who would rather open a can of Chef Boy R D than make a sandwich. LOL
Well done man! Your vlog skills have significantly increased. So much fun to watch. And your journey has me motivated. Tough to get started but your vid’s help!
I know what ya mean. You can do it.
Mate keep going, you are doing an amazing job and I am loving watching your journey. Without a doubt the most honest down to earth guy on UA-cam at the moment...
The up and downs just show that you are human... no bullshit fake news here!
Keep at mate 👍👍🇦🇺
Hahahaha, thanks man! 👍
The beauty of the struggle! Everybody just see’s the results when you achieve your goals but the best part of it is the struggle. Keep trucking Rob! Trust the process 💯
Right on 👍
The thing I like about your channel is you are honest and I can see in your face how hard this has been and how much you want to do this. I also think it takes guts to go out on the internet and say this. But you will get there you clearly are not about to quit. A true inspiration.
Thanks man!
You’re looking good, and I love hearing about the gains riding. Keep it up!
Thanks dude
Great job, Robert, you’ve totally got this! Thsnks for the motivation!
Right on, stoked to motivate ya!
Dude, I’m so with you on this. Been putting way to much pressure on myself and stressing too much. Thanks for sharing this story with us.
You are so welcome
Dude, you and I are one in the same. I appreciate the honesty and I respect your will power and yet you stay true. Thanks for the inspiration man!
Right on!
Keep up the great work, you're making some great content and have some super supportive friends like Paul and Josh. Cheers!
Thanks man!
Takes so much courage to put yourself out there! Keeping it real there Robert! Amazing
Thanks, appreciate that
Your killing it Robert. Smash those road rides. These videos have me going on the trainer getting my weight down going into winter is gonna be great thanks for the motivation I needed it!
That’s awesome dude.
Great job! I know that struggle, I know that commitment, and I know the frustrations. It took me a year to lose 70 lbs and it was the most dedication to anything in my life. You got it man, I love this series!
Right on 🤘
Dude, you're doing so awesome! Don't get discouraged at all man. Where you're at is a good spot to be, about 2 pounds a week is the right speed to go at. It feels slow but it's long lasting weight loss. I love seeing your motivation! No matter what the results are this next month you're so far ahead of where you started, weight loss is a struggle, keep hammering bro!
Definitely
Robert, you’re putting it out there and that takes giant balls! You are obviously making progress. Lifestyle change is waaaay more important than weight change. Long term. It’s life. Live it! Thanks for showing this👊🏻👍🏻
Thanks man
Hell yes dude!! Love the attitude. You're an inspiration Robert - keep it up!
Right on buddy!
Love the honesty man, you look great, keep it rollin!!!!
Thanks! Will do!
I'm 6 feet 2 inches tall and weigh 360 pounds. Recently, I purchased a mountain bike, marking the beginning of my weight loss journey. and I really appreciate your videos
You got this man! I've met a bunch of people that have started right where you were and have made huge strides in getting to a healthy weight. Just stay consistent. You'll have ups and downs, just don't give up on yourself.
Hell ya man thanx for the inspiration. Ive been going through a lot of the same stuff and its good to see im not the only one. Truly motivating content brotha keep it up we can do it!!!!!
You got this!
Awesome job Robert! As others have commented, you're looking good man. From my humble experience, it's important have fun while you're getting heathly. Being too hard on yourself and concentrating on numbers too much always ends in frustration and tears. Life without beer and pizza ain't worth contemplating anyway! Stick in there dude.
Mmmm beer. 😂
This is a utube jem of a find, great video, have to admit I've never struggled with weight issues but this vid gives me a lot more respect for larger riders, i think your starting to realise that this is a life long commitment your on, all the best, battle on.....
Thanks man
You looking like a beast bro! And you ain’t lying about that air quality and chasing for the fresh air. I honestly just thought we were over it and we are covered back in smoke again.
Tell me about it. It was so nice seeing blue in the sky for a few days.
Smashing it mate,in life in bikes . It’s tough loosing weight and you’re are still fighting. Keep up the great work
Absolutely
You're doing awesome bud. Keep it up. That much weight loss is a marathon, not a sprint if done the right way. And you're doing it right. Keep grinding!
Thanks! Will do!
Dude, I don't think I even drove my truck as far as you rode this past month! Don't let the plateaus get you down. Brave to throw all this out on the uTubes and all that with the negativity out there! Keep up the work man, you got it! Celebrate the small victories and don't beat yourself up too much when you falter.
I hear ya. Funny what you said about the truck!
Rob, you gotta keep on going. I went from drinking everyday to stopping cold turkey. Lost 40lbs. I never thought I could do it. Took on mountain biking as my new addiction and it changed my life. You got this and don't beat yourself up too much.
Right on man, congrats on the weight loss!
Same here, mountainbiking has motivated me to quit the booze after being a heavy drinker for 3 years straight.
7 days sober, feel so much better already, glad you made that decision too, all the best!
Great videos. Not only inspiration but also just very intresting and quality
Thanks man
Congrats dude !!! Keep grinding !! One step at a time !! 🤘🤘🤘
That’s the plan!
Way to go man! Keep it up. 42lbs is amazing. Your diet is the key, like it's probably 70-80% of your success. Keep strong on your commitment to eating right. You can do it!
Thanks
Keep up the awesome job Rob, you're truly a motivation, and I'm rooting for you to beat Josh!
I got this!
Very motivating stuff man. Although I havent gained that much, 20 lbs is definitely something I can feel. Keep at it dude. These videos make me want to take my weight loss much more serious.
You can do it!
Damn dude this is my favourite mtb series to watch right now! Keep after it dude, you got this shit!
Right on man 🤘
Wow, just randomly stumbled on this video going down the rabbit hole of mountain bike videos. This is literally why I started biking again. This is way too real and very inspirational. Definitely gained yourself a new sub! Look forward to more videos and checking out your old ones!
Welcome aboard!
Man, I’m so glad I came across your channel.. I was challenged by my brother in-law to see who could lose some weight... I weighed in an about fainted i was 349.2. It took my breath away. I’m doing what your doing, i have been riding my road bike like crazy. Since July 1 I have lost 61 pounds, I’m down to 288, my next goal is another 15 pounds that would put me at losing 75 pounds, but you have inspired me to up that goal to 20 more so I can go after losing 80!!! Thanks for being so open! Keep up the good work!
That’s awesome to read. I’m happy for what you’ve done, but am even more stoked you are gonna keep after it. I don’t know how tall you are, but I’m willing to bet you could do 100! If it sounds hard, it probably is. But why make a goal that isn’t hard. It’s called a moonshot! You got this dude.
Stumbled across your video just now! I'm super stoked for you man and keep up the hard work! Getting ready to start my own weight loss journey too
You got this!
YOU GOT THIS BRO, YOU ARE MOTIVATING ME.. LOVE YOUR PASSION. IM IN THE SAME BOAT, IM JUST STARTING TO LOOSE WEIGHT. KEEP AT IT WE ALL FALL.. GET UP AND KEEP AT IT.
Will do 🤘
Way to go Robert! I’m a big dude with similar issues, but haven’t gone as hard as you yet. One love, keep on shredding. You are an inspiration.
Right on dude 🤘
I have sooo much Respect for you!
I LOVE your vids personality and your honesty....
You're doing amazing!!
Pretty inspirational really...
Kudos to ya!
Thank you so much!!
Proud of you brother. Learn from mistakes/slip ups, but don't dwell on them. Keep moving forward.
No doubt!
Love the videos! Thanks for the motivation and influence! I can relate 100% to everything you have said! It’s definitely a challenge! But nothing comes easy and only makes us stronger! I’m starting my journey this month! My bike arrives next week! But in the meantime doing workouts and watching what I eat! Week 1 down and I’m down 4lbs! Let’s Go!!!!
You got this.
I’m feeling inspired, been off my workout program for a while but because of you I want to get back on it, thank you.
Right on! Stoked 🤘
Hey Robert, just dropping by to say you helped motivate me and keep me on track. Your video was exactly what I needed to see this morning. I was facing some of the same things as you, my weight loss was slowing, I started incorporating beers after rides and eating pizza and other treats. Been a tough week but heres to getting back after it. Thanks Brotha!
It’s tough when you’ve been doing good for so long. I’m still struggling. Hopefully we can both pull out of this!
Keep up the great work Robert! You are looking so good man. I feel you with the excuses, in fact I'm going through the same thing right now. Just got to push through, but it's so hard sometimes. 🤘🤘🤘
I know the feeling...obviously. It's totally up to you how you handle that. It was the moral of the video. It's ok to have moments where you aren't perfect. It's all about how you react to that.
Oh man! Loving that ending! Can't wait for next month!
Me too! Down with JOSH!
inspirational man!! keep at it, slow and steady man. it is ok to have a beer and wings just dont go for the second round etc. Set a good cadence and keep on going like in a big climb. love how real you are, cant wait for the next video.
Right on!
I respect & appreciate your honesty dude. Stay the course
I appreciate that
I am so proud of you! Love your face!!! You got this!!!
Thanks Houa!
I’m amazed how brave you are. Keep up the great work.
Thank you, I will.
Thanks for logging your journey. I have a friend who’s getting into riding for weight loss as well. Don't forget your diet will play a huge amount in progress and you're gaining muscle and muscle weighs more than fat. Hope this helps and keep up the amazing progress. Love watching your videos brother.
Thanks dude 👍
Doin a great job man ! Don’t be so hard on yourself! 🤘
Thanks man
You're killin it on progress! What worked for me was viewing it less of a diet and challenge and more of lifestyle changes. I went from 250 to 180, which is definitely not as drastic and I didnt move as fast. My biggest motivator was consistency and creating habits. Doing it every day at the same time made it second nature; whether its working out, riding, or eating. You got this, dude. You've come so far, but at the end of the day, its not about numbers. It's about the progress you've made and the life choices you committed to. Keep killin it!
It’s totally a lifestyle change. I just call it a diet out of habit from growing up in the 80’s.
Freakin killin it man! You already look way healthier. Keep going dude,
Thanks dude
Thanks for the inspiration man! I didn’t realize how many ideas i stole from you till a month after i watched your first video. I started writing down my weight every Monday and did the beer cap in the bootle thing other than i used rocks. Having a physical representation of the weight falling off helps a ton!
So being okay with this thing being a marathon not a sprint helps too (aka being okay with losing 1-3lbs a week).
Also I started mountain biking in August!!!
I started at 325lbs on august 22nd and have lost 21lbs so far!!! Thanks again man!!
I’m glad I inspired ya bud! 👍
Rob, up the irons my man, go down swinging and fight that inner demon that we all deal with. That inner voice that is the worst and weakest link standing in our way. The late "Ultimate Warrior" used to call that voice, Mr. Resistance. Because it rides you, tells you your goal don't mean crap and we are crap. You have come so far man it's a journey and the process is a daily fight. You're gonna come out a better person. Faith, Fight, Finish!
Nice. I always liked the Ultimate Warrior.
@@B1KER Check these out, it's him in a couple short clips... He's intense so you've been warned, lol.

ua-cam.com/video/6p3TCZaX35I/v-deo.html
KEEP DOING YOU BROTHER... STILL AN INSPIRATION TO A TON OF PEOPLE...KEEP BANGING BROTHER...
Right on 🤘
Man I love these videos! They are super motivating for me to, well, maybe not lose weight per say but put on some muscle and gain some discipline for general fitness. Keep it up :)
That's awesome. I don't care what kind of motivation it is, as long as it's positive!
Keep at it man! Don't let the number hang you up. You're gaining muscle mass as well.
For sure
Your passion for MTB is infectious! Awesome that you are in the community and thanks for your channel. When I ride a bike I feel like I'm 8 again. I'm older than you, by a good bit, and heart disease runs in my family. Started making changes to my diet 20 months ago. For me they were very sustainable as each made me feel much better. If I can offer any advice brother, it's that this is a marathon and not a sprint. If you want to consider dietary changes further, I would recommend the book "How not to die". Also, love your garage. Do you woodwork as well? You got this man!
I don’t woodworms anymore than I have to. It sounds appealing but honestly I just don’t have time for any other hobbies.
This is amazing! Started watching by your channel because you ride the same trails I do being from north California (Bay Area for me). I have also struggled with weight and mountain biking is really my only outlet. I want to thank you for inspiring me! I am joining your weight loss journey. I’m not documenting it, but so far I’m 10lbs down in a month. Starting at about 200lbs, with a goal of 170. Can’t wait to see what your next update is! Keep up the good work and thanks for all the inspiration!
That's awesome dude! Best of luck to you.
Just stumbled across this vid. Caught my eye since I have recently embarked on getting healthier through cycling myself. I appreciate your honesty and willingness to share your physical and emotional challenges. It takes a great deal of courage to do that in today's age of phony instagram life posts and BS YT videos. Keep at it and you will continue to learn a lot about what you are capable of both physically and mentally. Liked and sub'd.
Right on man, stoked ya digged it.
Great job. Keep it up. We are the same weight now so you have motivated me to stay ahead of you.
I hope you can beat me bud!
This is so cool to watch your progress! I'm trying to lose some weight this year too and it's so easy to get in a rut and stagnate. It's definitely a journey and just watching yours gives me inspiration!
Best of luck to ya!
Wow bro great video I relate in a lot of ways . Never give up
You too 🤘
Just found your channel this morning and binged all the videos (now heading to B1kerBar). Can't wait to see this month's progress!
Right on 🤘
Keep up the great work and putting out the awesome videos!
Thanks man!
Robert, I want you to know that I and many out there are wishing you the best on your journey to loose 80 pounds. You have worked hard and sounds like you are resolved to continue riding and eating healthy. I will encourage you to hold the fact that you are much more physically and mentally healthy than you were just mere weeks ago. Aside from the number goal you are doing yourself and family good. Keep climbing that hill and remember to enjoy the downhill!
Thanks man, well said!
Dude Good Fucking Job man! Your work is inspirational to many & I can feel it 💯👏🏼
On Oct 13th I will have been Absolutely Sober off any alcohol for 1 FULL YEAR! Might be small but for me that’s the best I’ve done since getting out of college 🏫 ☝🏼 I was almost 200lbs and drinking was too easy for me & I knew I never wanted time be 200 lbs for my frame & had to be real with myself if I wanted to get in shape to race the (2020California Enduro Series, which for me didn’t happen with Covid & Races being canceled) but I didnt let it stop me from my progress kuz like you said.. when your out riding and you feel so much more alive and more capable on the bike.. nothing compares to knowing your hard work pays off!
I now weight in at my target weight of 165lbs and people still ask if I’ll ever drink again, but honestly it’s these day to day choices that’s made it so much easier to be happy with myself! I feel like having the power of choosing what I want in my life has freed me from wanting the things that gave me my artificial happiness before! It’s easier now to say all this because on week 4-8 it was almost a daily accomplishment to just keep making the right choices..
Really just wanted to say great job man & keep up your amazing work! Nobody will ever be perfect but why should it stop us from trying everything we can with each new day we get! 🤗❣️
Right on man. Thanks for sharing! It's crazy when you think about all the people on here and what they are all going through in their lives. You don't take much time normally to think about that. I'm glad to hear things have panned out good for you man.
B1KER Really awesome to see I bet! Yea and I’m so stoked it wasn’t easy by any means.. I just got angry with myself and deeply motived by my depression! Good things take time & great things seem to happen all at once 👍🏼❣️ Big Ginger Ale Cheers to ya & hope to get a chance to see ya on the trails one of these days 🚲
Thank you for doing this. Never in my life have I related to a UA-cam channel/video more. This past week I started my own fitness journey for myself, with a home gym, road bike and a mountain bike lol. I didn’t realize how heavy I was until a dr apt and it was an eye opener. Definitely falling in love with the mountain bike side of it.
Even when I was 301 I still didn’t see myself the way I do now that I look back on this video. Best of luck man.
Great ending!!! Don’t fall off your horse you got this bro.
Thanks man 🤘
Good for you man! Keep it up! You got this!
Thanks
Great Vid! Keep up the good work man!
Thanks! Will do!
Don't forget you are gaining muscle so the weight loss will be slower. I think you look great. You are obviously a large powerful man. Some people look wrong when they lose too much weight. You are doing so well. Keep it up. Love from England.
Thanks man, appreciate it!
Dude! You look amazing!!! Great job! Keep going!
Thanks
Get on it bro! Consistency and good sustainable nutrition choices. You got this
Right on bro 👍
I'm not one to normally get fired up by anyone, I'm too cynical in my old age, but these videos fire me up to keep working hard! Thanks for putting this out there, thanks for putting yourself out there. Great, GREAT job man!
That’s awesome to read man. It means a lot to me to make an impact on people.
So motivating!!! You got this and don’t give up!!!! 🤟🤟🤟
Thanks dude 👍
Highs and lows. Highs and lows my friend. Its tough and you can always make excuses. I do way too often. I am grateful that you are putting yourself out there. I think all of your followers are.
Thanks man!
I’m just really starting again... my goal is 70 pounds. Good luck to you!
You got this!
This is one of the best video I have watched. You allowed yourself to be transparent and vulnerable which super hard for men. I respect and appreciate you for sharing your journey. I too lost weight from riding bikes. I lost a little over 32lbs and dropped about 5% body fat since the beginning of May.
You gotta remember that you’re also clanging weights and maybe some of the gain could be muscle mass. I know that there will be times in your journey that you will not see changes on the scale because of it. Don’t be discouraged and definitely don’t stress over it. Stress contributes to retaining unwanted weight because it shocks the body into survival mode and subconsciously making you want to eat.
You can still have a little beer, pizza, chips and tacos but in moderation. First you need to have discipline. Think about this, what do you want more? Dropping 80lbs, be healthy, improve your stamina for riding and other stuff or indulge in not so healthy habits to gain high blood pressure, diabetes, heart disease, sluggishness and no energy to ride you best. YOU GOT THIS! I am so excited for you on losing Alvin Harper’s jersey number (80).
Hope you can get some MTB in considering the Napa/Santa Rosa fires. I plan on hitting Crockett tomorrow with my cousin. I’m cheering for you! 👍🏼💪🏼🤙🏼
I’ve been getting the rides in. Just dealing with the air quality sux. I’m over 2020.
Yoir honestly and struggle is admirable!! Thank you!!!
Thanks man!
Way to go. 2 lbs is a month goal when I train to loose. You are doing it in week.
Do what works for you. That’s all that matters.
You just give me the inspiration( kick up the butt) to try snd lose some weight my self gonna look for a bike this week and pull out my cross trainer and start slowly again Thank you also subbed to the channel great video loved your honesty
Right on man, good luck!
