First off, I want to congratulate you on your incredible achievement-losing 130 lbs is no small feat, especially after everything you’ve gone through. It’s amazing that you were able to push forward and find the underlying issue before it could cause even more damage. That level of perseverance and commitment is truly inspiring. I appreciate you sharing your journey; it’s a powerful reminder that the path to better health isn’t always straightforward, and sometimes the solution isn’t as simple as 'just diet and exercise.' You’re absolutely right that many people have conditions or challenges that complicate weight loss, and I respect your advice about seeking specialist help. This video was specifically directed toward those at the very beginning of their transformation journey, or those who are still contemplating starting. The message was meant to motivate them to take those first steps because, like in your case, starting is often what leads to discovering the roadblocks that need to be addressed. If you hadn’t taken that first step and committed to the process, who knows how much longer it might have taken to get your diagnosis and start improving your health. Thank you again for stopping by and sharing your experience. Your story is a powerful reminder that everyone’s journey is different, and I’m grateful to have your input here. Wishing you continued success as you get closer to your goal-you’re crushing it!

@@GrowHealthyGetFit I actually really appreciate your response and I suppose I reacted angrily to something without really paying attention to everything you are saying. Yes if you have never even taken a self assessment or made an effort, then the onus is on you for that. I see your point and appreciate the video

@@historianswag8517 It's ABSOLUTELY no problem, my friend! We're all in this together, and your comment has reminded me to be a bit clearer when approaching these subjects. So, thank you for that. It will help me here in the future! And again, congrats on your transformation. It's very inspiring!

Can't lie, they are pretty cool. I can't wait to get them filled up so I can get that 1st workout in!!

Hello 👋 Thanks for the offer but I'm good learning and going through the process on my own.

I didn’t notice bad audio. That was so heart felt and absolutely the truth. Something we definitely don’t talk about with our work out buddies. Thanks for the lift.

@@juanallen2897 it gets dark sometimes brother. We just gotta keep our eyes on the prize and push forward. We got this!!

You know it brother! The road gets rough sometimes but we have to keep pushing towards progress. I truly appreciate your support and we're gonna keep crushing goals!

Overall, MUCH BETTER than I have in years! Don't get me wrong, some days are a serious struggle but we have to push forward right? I hope all is well with you Kevin! We got this brother! 💪 💪

Thing is, I knew what I was doing and still kept tumbling downward. Luckily, judging by your comment, we're both on the other side of that and moving forward! I'm grateful you took time out to stop by and I hope you stick around and keep me up to date with your progress! I wish you the absolute best!

Hello! Thank you so much for taking the time to stop by. I'm also very happy you were able to find some value here in this video. Both my fitness and TH-cam journey get hard sometimes, but the people I've come across here on this platform have truly kept me motivated. I'd love to talk about the podcast so you can reach out at: GrowHealthyGetFit@gmail.com. Have an awesome day!

Thank you so much for taking the time to stop by-I truly appreciate it! I honestly believe you can create the healthy life you want if you set your mind to it and commit to your plan. Starting this TH-cam channel was a huge step for me, especially since I’m showing myself at my lowest, but I know this journey can inspire others to find their way too. Trust me, I get the urge to comfort myself with food during stressful times, but I fought through it and stuck to my plan. The more you work at that discipline, the easier it becomes. YOU'VE GOT THIS!! Set your goals, lock in your focus, and you’ll make it happen! I can't promise it'll be the easiest thing you've ever done but it will get easier as you move forward. Thank you for the blessings and may God bless you and the journey that you're on!

Thank you! I'm gonna do my absolute best to help others who've found themselves in similar situations. It's gonna be a heck of a ride!

💪💪

Hey Juan!! Hope all is well with you also!! Broooo, I've been crazy busy! Everything is good and I'll be live Friday night at 9 pm central if you're able to attend. After that, it's back to daily lives and multiple weekly vids! Oh, and I've started another actual transformation challenge that has a pretty decent grand prize so I'm 100% locked in brother!!! I'll talk more about it Friday night and in a regular video next week. Thank you for reaching out. It means a lot!!

Yes sir!!!! Thanks for the encouragement!! 🙏

No lie, it's the hardest part but it's the key no doubt! Thank you for stopping in!

Thanks! I use the Chronometer app for food and hevy for workouts. Both are really good.

Thanks man. I really do think I missed out on things when I was younger sometimes but it's all good. Never know. Maybe if I had started early things could have turned out bad.

Thanks for the challenge-it's a great point! Yes, milk and yogurts are technically processed, and I do recommend them in certain situations, like for weight loss or muscle gain. I also agree that bread is processed but they are not all equal. Majority of store bought bread will not accommodate the journey I'm referring to. When I talk about cutting out processed foods, I’m referring more to heavily processed items like deli meats, processed carbohydrates, and packaged snacks. These often come with added sugars, unhealthy fats, preservatives, and low nutritional value. The big picture is focusing on nutrient-dense, whole foods while being selective about the processed items you include, making sure they serve your goals rather than hinder them. Hope that clears things up!

I have a friend from Japan who also ate sweet potatoes the same way you do. I also eat them boiled. But to answer your question, we eat them fried because they're DELICIOUS! 😆 I only air fry them now if I'm not boiling or baking them.

@@GrowHealthyGetFit haha okay. I think I like them boiled 😊

Man, I don't know if they can handle the truth!!

Yeah man, I absolutely have to have my meals prepped and ready. If not, five guys double cheese burger is my lunch of choice lol.. Congratulations on that 10 lbs. It's a big deal! Just stay the course and we'll make it through!!

The feeling of progress when you see those numbers change is truly incredible!

🥵👍

💯! I'm getting steps in now. 10k before lunch brother!! 💪💪

@@GrowHealthyGetFit Hell yea! Les go! 💪😎

Yes, it was rough there for a while but I'm back in track now. Building and changing myself every single day. It's been an amazing experience so far and I'm looking forward to hitting this last goal. Thanks for stopping by!

Absolutely will do brother!! Nowhere to go but up!! ⬆️⬆️

Thank you MJ! I need all the encouragement I can get!! 😆 🤣

Thank you! I'm glad to be back, it's been an awesome experience so far. It keeps me busy and mentally occupied so that's a good thing while dealing with losing her I guess. It'll take a while but I'm slowly healing I think. She'd want me to keep pushing towards greatness and I will! Thank you for stopping in. I appreciate it 🙏

Maybe we should come together and sell the " Flank and Filet mignon Diet" 100% success rate.... (Because you can only afford to eat 3 times per week) 😆 🤣

Holy crap!! Really? That's wild. I won't complain then. It was frickin amazing btw!! Super flavorful.

😆 📣 📣

Oh yeah! Gotta maintain this energy!!! 💯

Same with me! It was instrumental in me dropping my 1st 50 lbs in a relatively short time. If there's a magic pill, walking is it.

Thank you! I'll be sure to keep it coming! Thanks for taking time to stop by, I appreciate it!!

That's a freaking GREAT idea!! I'll try it tomorrow!! 😆 🤣

Tried that pancake idea and it was awesome! Almost felt like I shouldn't have been having them thru were so tasty. Thanks !

💪💪

Lypolysis. Lol. Only have a 60 second recording time so I couldn't go into too much detail. Thanks for stopping by! ✋️

Thank you! I'm gonna need that encouragement!! 😆

You're the man Kevin! Much appreciated! 🙏

YES SIR! Thanks for the support!!

I MADE IT!!! I'm super excited about my little clan!! I'm using the B&B competition blend right now but this is the last of it in this vid. I'll definitely try the pecan next!

😆 🤣 Right! Sorry..... Nahhh, not sorry at all!!!

Thank you so much! I truly appreciate your support! It's gonna be a long ride!

The 5 dollar special!! I get them from Sam's! Had one Saturday actually!! 😄

@@jackforlife101 those are great for meal prep. I bought one and broke it down to like a number of dinners. I put different spices on it and re heated them. Taste like different meals.

Well, if you have an air fryer, reheat it in that!! It'll change your life!!!!! 😆

Yeah bro, it can be rough getting it in day after day. I remember when I was competing, I'd be STARVING but choking down another bite of chicken was the absolute last thing I wanted to do!! Lol.. But hey, you know the saying, "If it was easy" well...

Oh yeah! Long road but I'm READY!!

I WILL brother!! No other options!! Thanks for the encouragement! I'm gonna need it! 😆
