I Lost 40 Pounds! | My Fitness Journey From Skinny To Fit

- My fitness journey has taken me from skinny to gaining over 40 pounds to losing 40 pounds and then finally getting up to a healthy weight. Fitness and health for me are more about being healthy and around for my kids than it is about looking good.

All my life I have had a bit more fat on my frame than I would have liked. When I went full-time on TH-cam I decided to finally get strong and build as much muscle as I could. I ended up getting up to 205 lbs before I decided to start a fat-burning program. As I got bigger I had to get some new workout clothes and Vuori Clothing was there to help me get some high-quality essentials that I still love wearing to this day.
To make a long story short I ended up going from 205 pounds down to 162 pounds and back up to 180 pounds. I feel healthy and strong where I am at and am focusing on getting strong and staying healthy both for myself and for my family.

You look great in all forms brother! And this haircut/hairstyle/beard Length are 🔥🔥🔥
Often,
our kids don't listen to us,
they watch us.
Diet (what goes in the mouth)
Exercise (what the body does)
How we speak (what leaves the mouth)
all have an affect on our physical health as well as the health of our relationships . . .
and can leave a legacy of health for our children.
Kudos to you on your progress this year!
Ease and Peace!
Way to go Jon! I’m 30 also. Started working out with a trainer in July. I’ve been 60-80 lbs overweight the last 10 years or so. Finally something has clicked in the last couple months and weight is coming off. I love my trainer. And as I check off each weight milestone I’m telling myself I’m not going back to that number never again! I think we reach a point at 30 where we just want to make it a permanent change in our lives.
Congrats, man. That’s hard work. My best year maintaining a healthy weight was mid-2018 through late-2019.Need to get back to that.
Proud of you! Keep at it best thing is to always pat yourself on the back for the work you put in and always know you create your own reality.
Another good reason to stay in shape and maintain an overall healthy lifestyle is to set the example for our kids. Especially when they are young they mimic us and it’s a personal responsibility to us as adults to keep them active and not live a life planted in front of a screen.
Congratz! You are looking amazing and so healthy, I'm on my on weight loss path myself, excited to become more healthy and fit. Thanks!
Welcome back. More content please! Your channel is perfection for smart purchasing for men's wear.
It always makes it more inspiring to see someone a similar build & height as me improve their strength; and physique along with it. I've been dieting, 6 months ago was 225, now 194. When I reach 180 I'd like to be muscular & I'll focus on gaining weight in muscle. I'm 25, 6'1 & have been skinny fat for years. But, I really don't have any excuses besides time. For now, it's 3 days a week for 2/2.5 hours. Good luck on your journey, I hope to see you achieve your fitness goal.
Nice work man, amazing to see the progress!
Congrats on the accomplishments. Would love to hear you talk more about your Whoop and how that has influenced your journey.
You are 30? Good night nurse! I have dreams older than that. Well done, you; keep fighting the good fight.
I started wearing briefs again because of you. Congrats and Happy New Year!🥳
Great job! It's really inspiring to hear about your fitness journey. It's been a couple years since your last underwear update. I'm curious if briefs have continued to be your favorite style through all your body changes. Got any new brands that you're into?
Good luck on your journey. Just make sure you remember that the fitness journey is a slow well paced race, don't get down on yourself if you don't hit the results you want within the time frame you set for yourself. Especially when it comes to deadlifts, squats, bench etc it will take you awhile to get back to those prepandemic numbers just because of the sheer weight difference you had. You can move a lot more weight around when you weigh 205 vs. 180s.
I first subscribed to your channel because I had to buy dress shoes, and now we’re talking about weight. Super relevant. I also lost weight a bit too quickly at the start of dieting.
A great journey! 👍
I have been subbed for maybe 5 or 6 years now maybe which time has flown.
I’m 34,5’7 140 pounds and I do need to set a time to gain weight so thank you for some motivation/encouragement
I would say it is a struggle but yes I am currently back on that journey again. So started jumping rope for the last year and a half. I added a weight training program for the last 40 days or so. I feel like setting bigger goals similar to yours (lifestyle, health, functional fitness) gives you the other benefits aesthetically that you may be wanting as well. I appreciated the message you shared here. Thanks!
Congratulations!
You look amazing bro 👏🏼
Hi Jon, I really do hope you make similar videos such as this. One reason I say that is, I'd like to know what you mean by 'eating clean'. I've heard that many times, but I'd like to know what your definition would be.
I hope you and the family are enjoying NY. Miss knowing that a great YT'er no longer lives here in Pittsburgh, but all is forgiven. 😄😃
Man this hit close. I’m 6’5 200 same boat. My dad had a massive heart attack at 49. He survived against all odds and I’m realizing How important changing my eating habits and exercise are for me. Want to be here for as long as possible for my kids.
Edit: just realized we’re the same age as well.
Great job!
Well done!!
Wow, nice video. I too have been very skinny and am trying to do more muscle training now. How did you deal with your clothes size changing and needing a whole new wardrobe when you got bigger?
I disagree with one point you made. There exists NO scientific data that suggests that a person will naturally put on weight in their 30's, 40's, and 50's. Latest research (2021), proved this. All weight gain is related to increase in caloric intake, less movement, slowing metabolism by way of reduced lean muscle tissue, and less activity. I was not lean when I was 25, but I'm almost 60 years old now, and have a six pack. It's not that hard to do. I workout in the gym twice a week; once for weight training once for HIIT cardio, and on the 5 off days I walk 12 K 15 K per day. This gaining of fat and weight as we age is not natural, and there is no need for it to happen. It happens because people let it happen by way of their daily behaviors. Thanks Ian. Love your channel.
Agree. The claim it's natural to gain weight is just an excuse for laziness!
Question for you. When you work out I know you obviously have certain work out clothes that you wear but do you buy specific underwear for working out in? I always feel guilty wearing nicer underwear that I wear for everyday wear and sweating in them. Do you styles/brands that you recommend and what do you find is the most comfortable underwear to work out in. I'm always left adjusting myself lol.
Would you consider making a video with all the fitness apparel you wear/work out in? Could definitely use some recommendations!
Being healthy where your comfortable is very important. Building muscle mass helps as you get older. The biggest challenge is managing stress, working out and keeping the ball moving forward regardless of age. So life goal: to know exercise will be a part of your life until your very last day. Make it routine and don’t get obsessed about perfection. Get obsessed about health. Get your yearly physical and tests. Make sure you have all your vitals in the norm. If they go outside of norm take seriously and fix with meds, diet and exercise.
I’ll be 49 next week and I started my process of improving health when I was 35, Now, I work with people to work on their habits for sustainable eating (using macros) and while I have people who eat “clean”, they realized that even with clean and all organic, they can still eat too damn much. Once they learned that balance , they feel so much less frustrated.
very early morning or late nights jogs and then gym if you are time crunched and a great way to get some down time to yourself, a few times a week. Get into a natural rhythm, natural food and you will reach your goals. It's so easy.
I wish I was still on TH-cam to tell you what I’VE been going through in my 40’s. Strength, eye site, surgery, and much more. Metabolism is at a very low which I hate because I was always the skinny kid.
Anyhow, I would love to hear more about health, fitness and mental strength as we all get older.
Hey can you do an update on the most comfortable dress shoes because wolf don’t make the same dress shoes anymore
Id really be curious to find out more about what you your regiment was for your intermittent fasting..
Can you do a videon on your beard? I am struggling with the neck line up.
Love it.
Miss you John, please return to youtube if you have the energy
great john that inspiring , i just spot giving my self the covid excuse , after a year with-out working out ,
Jon, you look real good, lean, trim fit in your pic at "165?". The older you get focus on endurance first and strength secondly. Less weight on your body/frame means less calorires you have to eat to maintain the muscle and less weight/stress on your joints/knees when you run. As always Jon, all the best to you and yours...
I didn't expect this video.
Congrats on the weight loss! So I know what to expect in the weight range, what's your height? Because say if you're 6 feet tall, 162 would be a tad low, vs. being 5'9", for example.
He’s 6’4
Did you find the Whoop strap helpful? I am still trying to figure that out.
Thoughts on becket semminon sneakers?
Wait when did you have weight to lose, even at 205 :)
Congrats! Keep up the good work. After the gyms opened, I've been hitting it hard 4 days a week since summer.
Now that you've lost you can go back to a surplus.
I am slowly going to tech fabrics to everything, not liking the feel of cotton anymore which in a way is a shame.
He had some fat around his stomach but what skinny elsewhere. It happens to some people were they gain fat in certain areas.
It's fantastic that you have found the comfortable weight that works for you! You are not trying to be rail thin, you are not bulking (getting super fat) and then cutting and you are not going the dangerous, super intense, get your muscles as huge as possible (Cross Fit) route. Most of us do get a little heavier every decade of our lives, because it's twice as hard every ten years to maintain the same weight with the same muscle. Everyday I see the guys that developed super huge pecs when they were young and they sag and sag as they get older. We don't see Arnold running around without a shirt on, but he looks great covered up, but he can afford the finest surgery centers in the world.
would you do an updated underwear video for guys who have a similar body type to yours now that your body shape is different
What's up Jon, so is your channel going to focus more on fitness from here on?
I thought this was a joke and you were gonna say you got rid of a bunch of clothes. No way you needed to lose 40 lbs. you were rail thin
The strato tech is the best
🙌
Check out the Tonel, excellent home gym.
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Its really hard to get motivated to start exercising. For people who don't exercise even some walking can help and is great for your health.
Running and swimming? Have you considered triathlons?
Hey, what's up? No update to let everyone know what's happening with you and the channel. I know people don't owe anyone anything, but you always seemed excited about posting videos, and you certainly never gave me the vibe you'd close down and not give an explanation. I certainly hope that you and your family are well in all facets our your lives. Hope to see or hear from you soon.
Just went from 243 to 189 , had to buy a whole new wardrobe
He's on Shark Tank guys! He's been gone for awhile but he's still been busy!
Thank you Brad! Will be posting about this shortly
6 ' 4 " 162 l b
crazy
but you did not look skinny at
all
surprisingly
Looking awesome handsome too 🥰🥰🥰🥰😛😛😛😛😛❤️❤️❤️
Did you get new undies that fit better? Do a new undies review :D
For some reason I already thought you were in your 30s. When you said you’re just now about to enter your 30s I’m shocked. Not because you look old it’s just that you seem so mature and with kid and so together. You don’t seem like someone in your 20s.
such a young dad
your dad was also such a young
dad and even more so
are you guys mormons
just curious
How TF did you get more handsome you son of a beast? 😁
please do Briefs and boxers review again 🥰
In all your videos you look very handsome.
Yum
Americans are stewed in a very unhealthy environment of activity choices and foods. I dread going there for the food options are awful. You have to look hard for vegetable as a tourist. So it’s great to hear stories like this that might inspire others to start a sustainable healthy lifestyle.
Cut the fat. Stop smoking. Increase fibre and do regular exercise’ do whatever you enjoy. Tennis. Walk. Swim. Run. Hockey. Gym. Chair calisthenics. Just get off the sofa and move your body safely. Check with your doctor if you have medical issues.
Wow you looked perfect at 162
we need new underwear reviews
47 is really young
Homeboy lost weight and abandoned the channel. lol
Grab some “gear”, yeah some dbol or tren lol
No more TH-cam?
Congrats, man!! Pretty sure it's time for another underwear review then. Just sayin!
Why did u erease my comment ???
Are you positively sure you actually posted it. I write this, because I've posted comments on other channels thinking I hit the reply button and I didn't I got distracted with someone, which doesn't take much for me, and I closed it out thinking I posted a comment. Things also happen on YT. like Subscriber numbers going up and down, I could go on and on. In other words, we aren't perfect and neither is this site.
you're a lean gainer. your diet and training need to revolve around that.
Jon...you missed the boat. Swimming is the most effective activity if one wants to maintain their strength, increase endurance and just maintain overall body health. You should know this being a former competitive swimmer. Join a local Masters team to get full workouts in the pool.
really, your focus here seems to be a clothes deal with someone, not you losing 40lbs.
Thinner 🤦🏾♂️
