- I've finally come to the actual realization that if I don't lose weight I won't be around to see my son grow up and I won't be the active father he needs. As a result my wife is joining me on a weight loss journey with guidance from John Glaude (aka. Obese to Beast) who successfully went from 380lb to 180lb in 2 years and competed in body building. He knows exactly what it's like to be on both sides of obesity and has a compatible personality which has already made us very successful. Here's to 1 year and 100lb and keeping it off for the rest of my life!

▼ Questions & Answers ▼
Q) You've said you were going to lose weight before and you always fail, why should we trust you this time?
A) First off you shouldn't need to trust but rather encourage me. Second off this time I have my wife on board doing the same thing and we have a coach that has done what we want to do and is willing to help us get there over the long term.
Q) What is different from past diets you've been on?
A) This isn't a change in diet but rather a requirement to be more aware of what I'm eating with a cap on how much I can consume (calories). This way I still make all the decisions on what I eat and learn how to make good decisions automatically instead of feeling forced.
Q) Why is Obese to Beast helping you, what does he get out of it?
A) The truth is John Glaude is one of the nicest people I've ever met and he has a mission to help people get healthy and that is it's own rewards. He even said I didn't even need to tell anyone he was helping me and that he just wanted to help me and my wife out and our victory was his reward. Seriously, how many people do you know that are that selfless and get joy from helping other people?'
Q) I subscribed for technology, would you stop posting this crap?
A) No, this channel has always been about my life which revolves heavily around technology and this weight loss journey is going to be a big part of my life and the technology that aides me in achieving my goals will also be a big part of it. Just chill out, simmer down and enjoy the ride.
Q) Why don't you just die you fat disgusting pile of shit?
A) Why don't your parents know that you're up past your bed time?

294.6lb this morning, slow and steady wins the race (Started at 310)
Keep going man! You'll make it in the end!
Keep going in on a weight loss thing too
good for you man!!! keep it up!
Dude, you're a boss!! I love how determined you are and it's seriously inspiring. You're awesome!! +Barnacules Nerdgasm
You could do it!!
I am blown away by the overwelming support you guys are showing in the comment, it's not nearly the toxic cesspool I was expecting. I've only had to block a few trolls and that surprises me. I won't let you guys down this time because I won't let myself down, or my wife, or John!
Screw the trolls ignore those clowns! You can do it you have the will power and the ability to do it. Good luck man!
I'm super excited for you...awesomeness level epic!! You have my full support!!
good luck bro!
hope everything goes smooth and good luck
AMD JOKE! HAHA
Keep up the good work, you can do it!!
Ever notice how the majority of mean comments always come from a fake account that was just created with no followers or an account that only has game-play footage posted but no footage of the actual person? I'm starting to think that trolls are scared, self conscious people themselves that only troll to some how feel better about themselves? Just an observation I made clicking on a few profiles from bad comments. And the few channels where they do show themselves they usually only make videos ripping on other people. I'm guessing they just want attention good, bad or otherwise. The sad thing is one of the channels I found the guy actually had a young daughter and was tolling channels destroying people, what kind of example is that to set for your own daughter? Makes me sad.
Ignore them, Jerry. They don't count. They're not real people. Real people don't act like that.
Bullies usually feel powerless in some form or another and the abuse they dish out is their way of feeling like they can affect something, anything.
i am the same,
a closet human
jerry you should talk to your dr about the HCG diet. I lost 35 lbs in a month
Ignore all the asshats. Also, please do bi-weekly progress videos! It's good to tune in more often than less with your fans. Also, KITTENS
Not to be rude or anything but this sounded so much like an other video I had to check the date to make sure this was new content... JUST DO IT already and stop talking about it! And screw the trolls nothing is more motivation then your beautiful boy! Good luck!
Again ;)
It's really damn hard to do. It's so easy to fall out of it especially when suffering from depression. Hopefully John Glaude can get him to develop the base habits necessary for success. That's one of the keys. If something like a morning walk for example can be drilled into him so much that it because routine and he does it without even thinking about it then he's on the right track. But who knows, Maybe John has even better methods.
I am going to list some goals at the end of the video description for stuff I want to do at certain weight goals.
I want to support you as much as I can and I know a bunch of others out there that do too. It's always a rocky start just don't give up. You can do this! You are barnacules!
Please call the cats Ike and Mike
HIGH PROTEIN, zero carb. In 1 month you'll lose 30lbs. I work at a weight loss clinic. Hmu.
Don't let us down, Jerry. We are counting on you and we support you.
FYI: The fat you're burning does not go out your backside :) The fat you burn are expelled through your lungs and you litterally breath yourself lighter. If you have a bad breath or of you catch yourself out of breath during your life adaption period, think about this and smile :)
You made like 3 of these..
Don't like it, Don't watch.
Yeah just do it. No one needs a Vlog, show your friends and family results stop making excuses. Go and like John Burks facebook, he is a motivator that stresses accountability. Good luck.
+Gene Shoults He's filling his fans in on his situation. What's the issue?
So what? Should he give up after two attempts and get a heart attack at 45?
Accountability is important, this makes me accountable. My previous diets did succeed and I lost 20-30lb, but this time I'm doing it for life. It's not a diet and I have my wife on board and someone who has done exactly what I'm trying to do coaching me. I'm not going to fail.
You should 3d scan your body during your weight loss journey, pictures are good, but a 3d print of the weight loss is much more telling.....
This is a pretty cool idea.
Waste of time and money. Maybe in the future when you can do it at home (without having to pay for expensive scanning tech)
Correct me if I'm wrong but I'm sure he got a 3D scan of his body before for the Storm Trooper outfit.
+Mshojat I would think he already has a scanner, i used the one from occipital that me costed $300...
How cool would it be to have a 3d printed little toy of him each month. This physical representation of how the progress went!
7 years ago. How’s that going for you buddy?
heavier than ever
Get after it Jerry! Good for you man.
Thanks bud!
TRW gaming That's me! Thanks so much!
hello it's me
I was wondering
idk the rest
I'm rooting for you.
I lost my mom this year. She barely made it to the age of 50. She always set too high of standards when she decided to lose weight; instead of aiming for a viable lifestyle. It just takes time to lose excess weight. I couldn't get her to change the way she thought of food. She needed a therapist/psychiatrist.
Please, bro, don't skip meals, as she would try. It will have the opposite effect, than intended, on your metabolism. But, when I tried explaining to her some of the bio-mechanisms, it seemed counterintuitive and she had difficulty understanding how skipping means could be working against her.
If I may, I seriously suggest working with a doctor that is specifically versed in nutrition to intelligently guide you and to help keep you focused and accountable, in addition to this yt thing.
I believe in you, since you have worked professionally, at a pretty high level, which informs me that you must have the capacity to change the way you frame things in your mind, not to mention the dedication it requires to get where you have been.
Good luck, bro.
what about those negative calorie foods
[anecdotal evidence]
Hollus Elsfik do you mean all of the processed foods? They, hopefully, go without saying.
than kyou
You make me feel optimistic about that one day people will all b kind 2 each other.. thanks
You've said that like 5+ times dude
3 times, and have you never failed at anything and tried again after finding new methods, information and support?
Don't listen to the hate, keep limiting your calories and you WILL LOOSE WEIGHT. And then you'll be laughing at these haters... +Barnacules Nerdgasm
Good for you Jerry, Don't stop believing -Journey 1981
Don't worry, I won't listen to the hate. I've learned doing this CZcams job for 2 years now that there are people online that just want to evoke a response and just want attention because they are sad and feel unimportant and they figure it's easier to get attention being negative.
Barnacules Nerdgasm I wasn't hating dude didn't mean to offend you i just hope you stick through this time
Working on the update video right now, the changes already are pretty dramatic for the time.
I wish you all the best
bro stop sitting and play videos game standing. thats how i got skinny
#deadserious
CANT WAIT FOR YOU TO FAIL!
is the update video your apology video?
Cat name suggestions, AMD and Nvidia.
thats not fair nvidia would be a way better cat
+Devin Watts Surely it will be faster
let the fanboy wars begin!
no, it would be that Nvidia would be the nice cat in their front, but it would make a mess behind their back and then show his nice eyes so they forgive him and make it look like it's the other cats fault..
Amvidia
I just wish Boogie would join you.
boogie cant do excersize because of the problem he has with his legs, he is on a diet though.
He could totally exercise more regularly after losing a certain amount of weight.
Look up Zach Anner before you say that again.
+King of the frogs Exercise doesn't really help with weight loss, it's mainly diet.
+Randi-Lee i lost around 85 pounds or 40kg and i eat basicly the same way i have always done. but then i use 1,5 hours in the gym almost every day. so thats not true. there are many ways to lose weight. but the only reason is that use burn more energy then you eat. that simple. just hope you have a high metabolism
Do it, bud! I'm on the same boat and what I've learned is that you need to constantly remind yourself of who you want to be and you need to change your surroundings. My self control is non-existent so I need to set myself up for success by keeping the kitchen free of unhealthy foods so the only choice I have are healthier options. That's not for everyone but it's what works for ME and that's what everyone needs to keep in mind. It's not about a popular diet or piece of advice as much as what will actually get YOU results. In the end, remember it's okay to fail but just make damn sure you learn from it. Cheering you on as well as anyone on the same journey! Fight for it.
Hey man, what happened? Stick to it. You got this.
I would strongly suggest you attempt to contact or at least follow Furious Pete for some inspiration. I personally am trying to bulk my muscles up and lose more weight than I have, it's tedious, but without using steroids, it will take long for me.
Wish you the best.
try not to loose weight too fast to avoid too much hanging skin
He's going to have hanging skin no matter what speed he loses it.
"To much"
+theMEGAsalad not really it pirely genetic actually.
Zonaid P no matter what you'll have loose skin, whether you have a bunch or not depends on genetics, how fast you lose it, how much water you drink and how long you've been that weight. Mainly it's based on genetics, having loose skin is better than being dead.
Abel Abitia my doctor said if I lose 2 pounds every week, due to my body structure I will have no loose skin, it may not be the same for everyone,but now I'm fit!
Right on man! I've followed John's journey and now I wanna see yours. Stick to it! Just droppin' some positive energy ;)
love!
Glauco Longhi Same!!!!
congrats on deciding to start!! Starting is the hardest part. I started my weight lossn3 months ago and am down 46lbs. You can totally do this!! You have my full support!
excited for you man!!!
You got this man. Lots of people wanting to see you succeed with this - each day you make it through is a victory. Now rack them up!
Good luck buddy! The key is good food intake and steady exercise. Take it easy :-) no rush. You will get there! I have complete faith for you
It's so hard to go on a diet when you live with your parents and there's almost constantly either cooked or easy access food so I can't limit what I have access to. That's why doing this sort of thing diet/lifestyle change didn't last too long (also it's because after 2 weeks of using this, i went to Cuba)
Awesome stuff Jerry! :) Hope you go long on this one. Don't be in a hurry. Just commit to changing your life and think about where you'll be in 10 years. I find that that helped me lose weight the most. Too many people are in a hurry and when they don't see the results immediately they give up. Go long Jerry! Go long! :D
Stay strong Barnacules! Once you get going there's no stopping point. I'm with you in this journey. Good luck and stay strong
Thank you for turning me on to that app yall are using for weight loss. I know I'm not super overweight but it'll help me out. I just joined the US Air Force and I'm on the limit for my height and I weigh 204lb probably more cause I was weighed at MEPS two weeks ago. But I would like to drop to around 190-195. I wish you luck on your adventure Jerry I hope you do what you strive for!
Barnacules, this is awesome to see! You're awesome; this is awesome; your goddamn computer rig is awesome! I hope you achieve everything you want out of this.
I'm in the same boat as you I'm ex-forces so have always been fit but I'm now disabled and so my exercise is virtually gone. I piled on the pounds, I started to lose the weight by changing my diet completely. Basically I changed the bad things to good thing like a baked potato instead of fries and if I cook a spaghetti bolognaise I cut out a quarter of the meat and use vegetables as a filler. its tough when you like your food but in a month I lost 23 pounds I've gone from 18 stone 9 lbs(English 261lbs US) to 17 stone (English that's 238 in US). keep it up you'll feel great once the weight starts coming off. even if you cant get to the gym everyday weight loss is lifestyle choices not hours in the gym
Proud of you for taking this journey Barnacules. I'm 36 as well and back in 2000 I was 345 lbs. In a year I lose over 130 lbs and kept it off through proper diet and exercise. I've dedicated my life to helping people. I love PC building and PC gaming, but I also exercise and watch what I eat. My passion is cycling and it keeps my body in check. I wish you the best in your journey.
John (obese to beast) actually inspired me to lose wait a couple of years ago and he really helped me and I'm very grateful.
John inspired me about 5 months ago, and so far I'm down 75lbs. I had almost completely lost all my motivation, and seen this video. I really hope you can stick with it. It will get tough, but it's totally worth it. I'm off blood pressure pills, and off my cpap machine.
Good luck man. When it gets hard, remember why you started. Everyone is rooting for you!
Keep it up! Your long term health matters to some of us viewers. My brother went down from about 340 to 290 over the last year and I basically did the same thing with him, get him up for some simple basic exercise for 30 mins or so and keeping track of his portion control/calories. You're right it's a lifestyle change.
Good job.
Hey boss keep up the hard work. I went from 300 to 235 within less than a year. I took a break and now back at it again. John was also my inspiration.
Hey Jerry, I have been going through the same thing. I was 265Lbs in May, and I have been doing the lifestyle change that you are doing, and it is amazing how you can change your thought process on food when you don't limit WHAT you can eat. I still get to enjoy some of the foods I love, but all in moderation. Now I work on getting on my bike and go riding. I am now down to 225Lbs. Also on a side note. I recently found at 34 years old am on the spectrum, on the high side, but it has still resulted in plenty of developmental issues. Food therapy being one of the issues, but with ADD and being on Adderal now has helped a lot. You and your wife are strong people...it takes that to raise your son, but you need to remember that you also need to take care of yourself too...and now you are doing that.
this is awesome. my brother had to do the same thing when he found out he had diabetes. he still isn't skinny but he is much healthier and happier with himself. you got this!
Good luck man, don't let haters get you down they're just jealous that you're successful :)
I'm right there with ya, brother. I've been feeling the same general effects of my weight (I'm 305lbs), and am finally feeling driven to do something about it. I'm trying the same approach myself. I'm rooting for ya!
I've been doing almost the same thing for around 3 1/2 months now. I've lost 31 lbs and I'm feeling great. good luck with your new lifestyle!
Good for you. I'm actually in the same boat. I've packed on the pounds over last 10 years and I've finally started to do same thing you are. Keep us posted.
BRO wtf, I recently started the exact same thing as you. I am so happy to see that you are also trying the same. I have gone from 215 to 201. I used to be 160 so I am hoping to be that again as well as maintain a nice healthy life style. Your an inspiration.
BRO! This is great. Keep us updated cause this sounds like you're really into this.
Man, I can't believe how similar our stories are. I also found Obese to Beast videos about three weeks ago. I weighed myself on Oct. 1st. 302.6 was the total. I have been on the "diet/gain" rollercoaster for 30 years (I am 49). I have done exactly what you did as far as cutting calories by 500/day. So far I am down 15 lbs in 18 days. I am hoping to get my wife on board as well. I am an "over the road" truck driver. I have not been home since Oct. 1st. I am hoping when I get home on Friday, My wife will be impressed enough to do this with me. I am going to show her this video as well! keep up.the GREAT WORK. We can do this!!!!
That sneaky AMD Flamer heating the bong got me good...
I've had an AMD jump out of it's socket with spectacular sparks..
good for you man! I did the same thing this year. Lost almost 60 pounds by watching calories, lowering carbs, and going to the gym 3 times a week. Good luck! I'm sure you can do it
My daughter and I are big fans!! We love the speedy bat knife jingle and any time we are opening a box we sing it as fast as we can. I just wanted to say we are fans and we wish you and your family the best on your journey to a healthier you.
Dude I really want to encourage you!! I am happy to see you do this. I love seeing that excitiment for weight loss, and vigor for healthier living. You have such positive personality in your videos I forget that there is you not on camera. Well here's to see your future success.
Good going man! I started this exact same thing 7 days ago! My buddy is helping me immensely by badgering me daily about it!
Good luck with your life style change. Keep us updated, hopefully that can help you keep motivated. I found boredom and depression are my worse times for eating rubbish, and not wanting to go out mountain biking. But not buying junk food in the first place really helps.
Good for you Jerry. You are so right about everything, and the smartest thing you could have done was share it with all of us. They say when you want to quit smoking, tell everyone you know. It adds the accountability that is so necessary for most of us. Also, you're so right about the "diet" thing. This has to last for the rest of your life, so it's not a diet, it's a lifestyle change. And of course, weight loss is calories in calories out, whatever anybody says. The only problem there is at some point I think you should be looking at how to achieve a balanced diet. If you're taking in 1,930 calories a day, but it's only pizza and chili fries, it's not going to be great in the long run. You'll lose weight, but won't be healthy. I know that's an extreme example, but you know what I mean.
OMG THOSE CATS!!!! But seriously, best of luck to you and Mrs. Barnacules, I think you two are going to achieve your goals!
obese to beast is awesome i started my journey in june of this year at 320 im now down to 260 and feeling better then ever this seriously works and you can eat whatever you want.
do it bro! I did something similar. was at 250 got down to 215 in 3 months. didn't touch one weight! no cardio or anything. my schedule was Monday through Friday lunch was hardcore diet. salads sandwiches soup and tuna in oil and took fish oil everyday. Friday dinner to Sunday dinner I ate whatever I wanted. figure doing that wouldn't burn me out and I knew I was going to kill it on the weekend. weighed myself everyday. up one pound down 2 everytime. good luck brother! keep it up!
Glad to see you living healthy. I was at 325 earlier this year and now I am down to 280. The only change I made is to stop eating fast food and to walk my dog more. I do think that I need to step it up though.
I wish you the best of luck on your journey. It's worth it at the end. I did it 2 years ago and I would never going back to being obese
Dude go for it. I've been watching you all this time. Don't let the fact that the first time you tried to lose weight didn't work out for whatever reason discourage you. The road to success is laid with failed attempts. Just an idea, if you are looking for a way to get active: I notice in some of your videos you mention that you used to play airsoft. Maybe you should try airsoft or paintball again and record it with gopro. Levelcap used to make airsoft videos and I'm sure there's a lot of potential there for views.
This is awesome! You are doing great. That's exactly what I do and I've lost over 45 lbs so far. Started at 260 in February and now I'm at 214. I plan to get to 180 by next summer. I'm actually smaller than I have been since the 8th grade. You rule dude. Keep it up.
Congratulations. I started at 306 in march and by this morning I'm 254. I slacked off a bit for a month but I'm back on track. Keep it up.
I managed to lower my weight from 216 to 185 in a 7 weeks... I changed my diet, havin 3 times per week bicycle ride and 3 x per week pool sessions. I`m not finished yet, this proccess must be new lifestyle, not a temporary measure, I think that is the key...
Also, 2000 callories is my perfect daily need. I am 39yrs old, 185cm tall... PS. I am also in my proccess of recovering from badass herniated disc as well as medial meniscus torn, things gettin better slowly...
Go for it, Barnacules, we keep our fingers crossed for ya!
ive been a fan of your channel for a few years now glad to hear your making a change bro i started mine around april at 250 260lbs an now im down to 220 good luck to ya
I also work from home - I force myself to go and buy fresh bread at the super market every morning. I walk everywhere in town (up to 1+ hours most days) - step counting etc.
Getting into a routine to be active just makes you feel better and clears your head.
I am also a big guy myself, so I know how you feel. The journey is long and can have hard moments, but you got this! Rock on Barnacules!
Barnacules it's amazing you've taken that decision. I've known about obese to beast for a while because since I'm into fitness and bodybuilding I've seen him before on CZcams. Now been watching your videos a bit because I'm a php dev and like games etc so I've seen your channel and been following it a little. Also love your gunnar glasses review (just bought the same glasses you reviewed). All I wanna say is all the best man and keep strong. My wife was a bit overweight and since she moved to the UK to be with me she's lost loads of weight and she's absolutely happy. What you're doing is worth it and don't give up, forget about these trolls and go for it. Do it for you and your family above all. Don't think about us that much, focus on your health, your family, after all that's more important than us. A new subscriber literally here for you. Go for it man.
Yay! good job Jerry. Keep up the good work. I've been trying to go from 180 to 140. I hope you continue to do good.
way to go man! can't wait to see your success pictures in a year. We'll all be rooting for you until then
Good on you Barnacules, your subscribers are here to support you all of the way and I wish you the best of luck! :)
This video made me so happy! Congratulations on committing to your new life change. I also just made a huge life change. I've had ADD since I was a child and always took meds for it, I consumed nearly 5,000 calories per day but I gained no weight. Recently I decided to stop taking the meds due to negative side effects and I went from 210 pounds to 280 pounds in a matter of a few months. I got myself a bicycle and I've been commuting to school and work on it. Between that and doing exactly what you've done I've lost nearly 20 pounds in the last 3 weeks. Good luck buddy, looking forward to seeing your progress!
I relate to damn near everything you've said in this video. Realized there was a problem...and that I need to be around for myself and for my family. Started close to 2 months ago and lost almost 50. Joint pain, sleeping, things getting easier...so many noticable changes already. Stick to it and you will feel it soon. The support group on youtube is amazing as well and will help you stay motivated. I make videos as well to document progress. You can do it =D
Good luck to you buddy :D Obese to beast is my saviour too! I was 384 lb in November last year and i'm now 301 lbs, I started out doing exactly what your doing and it works 100% Keep up the good work and mostly enjoy what your doing.
Good luck man. Hope you keep it up. I've always been bigger as well, like you 220 didn't feel so bad and didn't hold me back, but now at 275 I can really feel it on my body.
I lost 30lbs in 6 months, dont lose your focus if it takes a little longer, but always be on the right path! good luck man!
Keep it up man! I've changed my lifestyle to a healthy one at the end of May and lost close to 50 lbs. I Love the way I feel and the energy I have. Still have a ways to go to hit my first goal but keep focused and you can do it! No crazy diets, just keep clean for the most part and you can occasionally eat something bad. We started a fitness group here locally to get people out and active and it's amazing but for the most part just doing some walking is amazing. Anyhow I'll be following these video updates specifically since It's what I'm currently working toward. *high five!*
an obese to beast shirt man you got this we believe in you. just remember that when you feel like quitting remember why you started
Go for it dude, you have our support!
Good for you Jerry. I'm also working on getting back into shape and I can tell you it's tough. Mostly from the calorie intake adjustment. I try my best to make my sessions enjoyable much as I can. I'm sure you'll find a way as well. Good luck!
Good luck this is my struggle in life as well. I was heavy from junior high school up. In my around mid twenties I went from 260 lbs to 180 lbs life got stressful and I returned back after a couple years with extra 316 lbs total. Around 30 I went from 316 lbs to 171.2 lbs at the lowest. I was doing great then life got in the way relationship ended that involved a young child and I turned back to my drug of choice food. Here I am 34 about 300lbs and I just haven't had the drive yet it's in the back of my mind and I am trying to bring it to the front. Your video is helping me thank you.
I'm proud of you man. It sounds like you have a good routine and plan to follow, hopefully your wife will stay on board so you can follow the same path and motivate each other. I think you can totally do this!
Really happy for you man, you already seem to feel better in your skin. Keep going. Cheers !
Good luck!!!! i lost 40kg. 120kg to 80kg, and is hard but my life is better now!!!!
I'm rooting for you and I am wishing you great success so you may encourage all your followers who are going through the same struggle.

You are gonna do this for yourself,for your family and for us. We ALL LOVE YOU and we will cheer you on. I've been WAY bigger than you and we're about the same size now. THIS IS GONNA BE AMAZING!
Best of luck Jerry. You seem pretty motivated and happy about your goal and results. Looking forward to a few months down the line when you're even better off than now.
This is really cool, man. Thank you for literally and figuratively showing us your journey, you've successfully inspired me to start recording a baseline with MFP and see what I can do for my own weight related happiness. Also, your kittens are RIDICULOUSLY cute :D
Good luck man! I've lost about 30 of the 50 lbs I'd like to lose over the past year. Don't obsess over the scale and only step on once a week. Portion control and staying active are most important. It's a very slow process don't get discouraged when you lose a some weight and hit a plateau. Just be persistent, you are attempting to change a lifetime of bad habits.
I'm glad you decided to go on this path.. Wish you all the best!!
Hey Jerry, if you're looking for something to replace soda consider getting a SodaStream and using it to make sparkling (fizzy) water. It's a simple device containing a gas cylinder that lets you pump it into a bottle of water. It comes with sugary soda syrups that you're meant to mix with the water to make your own soda, but just throw those syrups out and use it to make sparkling water. It's helped me cut down on my soda intake and the bubbles make the water much more refreshing than plain water. Good luck on the journey!
I wish you luck on this great journey Jerry! Excited to see your progress in the future.
you got my support! and also, thank you for beeing so honest to us!
You should keep us up to date on your progress, even if its just a small update in a video with nothing to do with it, or in tech talk. We are rooting for you I'm glad you're happy, and your wife. I'll keep watching you have a great personality and I think that will only shine through that much more if you are feeling that much better about yourself. Cheers.
Good on you mate! I've started a few times and always ended up where I started.
I read somewhere that "motivation" is useless in weight loss because that only gets you started. Dicipline is what you need to keep going.
It's weird to type this, but i'm extremely happy for you Barnacules! What you've said today (reduce your caloric intake, thats it) is what i've been telling all my obese friends but it hasn't stuck with them. YOU are going to be my proof, good stuff man keep it up.
Obese to FEAST!
Keep it up!
Myself I decided over 2 years ago to lose my weight (I was at around 112KG), I cut out soda from my diet and started running. Went from 112KG to around 75KG in about 8 months. Stayed at that weight since! Running worked for me :)
Barnacules, you can do this bud! I started my journey a couple of weeks before Christmas! I'm down 15lbs. By the way, I love the shirt! John is a great guy, and such an inspiration!
Love hearing this! I'm glad you made the decision to make the change in your life!
Good job Jerry, can't wait for a few months or weeks down the line to see an update, love your videos, try and keep your confidence up!
Best of luck with the lifestyle change sir. It is great that you are doing it with your
wife so both of you can keep each other on track and motivated.
I'm 22 years old, I'm at about 300 pounds, I'm a gamer so achieving is in my blood, I never bothered to start dieting because it seemed hard and complicated, following meal plans unemployed is too damn expensive, so as a nerd what i did is i just started a 1500 calorie diet its just collecting information of how many calories your food has and adding them up, its so easy for my mentality, ill see in 6 months what kind of progress i make since i don't have a scale nor do i have money to buy one :) good luck with your weight loss man keep it up.
proud of you for the weight loss, will be continually checking your progress, and wish to thank you for showing this video. I might even try this out.
