How I REALLY Lost 100 Pounds - My Story

- It's hard to describe but this is how I lost 100 pounds.
There wasn't a quick fix, it was a journey, lots of lessons learned. This is how I did it, all the things I changed to get to a healthier me.
2 years ago I started stating that I was going to be working on my health. I didn't know what that meant at the time beyond that I knew I needed to change. I wanted to learn and teach myself, find new ways and be open minded but also give myself room to fail.
I'm still working on it. Not just my weight, but my over health health. Mental health, physical health... its all tied together!
I was nervous about releasing this as its so different from my norm. But just like running was different for me, or yoga was different, you don't grow without experiencing something new so here we go!

Here’s the cliff notes. He did yoga, running, intermittent fasting, push-ups, pull-ups, not eating out much, and food prepping.
Solid.
Your great!
counterpoint: This video was worth the 17 minutes
Thanks
Sorry dude....this video is way to long...
After my father passed, I didn't know I was grieving and I gain so much weight and felt so bad, I stopped looking at the scale. As a woman, I felt bad because people would call me by my weight as well like hey amazon, for example. It felt so bad, I isolated myself. I lost the weight but gained it back. I am so happy to hear your story. Very inspiring! Thanks for sharing! Have a great day!
So sorry for your loss. I'm so sorry you are dealing with that and hearing such awful things.
I hope you have a great day, and just know you are wonderful
If you lost it once, you can do it again! You know how! That really means something. I know it's tough, but we know you're tough enough to do it.
Also, grieving is a good excuse for just about anything related to self-care. Don't be hard on yourself.
@@steve-adams Thank you!
@@SauceStache Thank you!
I'm so sorry. Grieving is hard enough, then people being rude. People don't know what you're going thru, and vice versa. I hope you're doing better, and pretty well too.✌️😇🖖
Thanks for putting this out there! The struggle of food temptation, especially for those of us who work in kitchens and around food all day, can be a real problem. It's great that you've found a path that keeps you happy.
Thank you so much Glen!!! This was a tough one for me, took a lot of conniving from a friend to post it, but in the end im glad I did!
It is nice to see a man do some straight talk about weight gain and loss.
Thank you so much for sharing, this is so vulnerable and honest. By sharing your story, you can help so many others feel less alone. Side note, being y'alls wedding footage made me weepy
Thank you soooo much Merle! This was a tough one for me, im not used to getting so personal. I filmed this a few weeks ago and actually threw it in the trash... im glad I dug it out and finished it, even though I had a bit of anxiety with it, It felt good to put this public
Thank you for this beautiful story, Mark!
Thank you so much Mary!
Glad to see another person who's taken on intermittent fasting! I been doing it for 3 years of 20:4 OMAD and through that process lost 100 pounds as well. Still not 100% where I want to be and will need to tweak my diet soon to try and drop another 25 pounds to my goal. But definitely inspiring man!
It even made he grow his arm back 😮
Haha!
Thanks for showing that it is possible without drastic measures. It was hard work, but most things worth having are. Congrats on taking care of yourself❣️
Thank you!
I’m glad that I took the time and watched the whole video. The cliff’s notes comments are humorous 🤷🏾♂️ This is one of your top watched video because of your style and engaging, sincere talk about weight loss. The acupuncture thing surprised me and it’s great to hear that you found a solution to your issues. Many of us have dieted many times and I do believe the lifestyle changes like non-cardio exercise like yoga can be helpful. Thanks for being you!
Wow I had no idea you were going through all this. All your recipes look so delicious. It's not surprising that it was hard for you to keep your weight down. Kudos to you for working on your health! You look great. I'm so happy for you.
What an amazing story. Thanks for sharing. Your story sounds like my own. I think the key difference for me is to date I'm still bad at being able to give myself grace. Time to do some rethinking on my end. Keep up the great work! Cheers.
Thanks for sharing your journey!! I have lost weight on a whole food plant based diet with intermittent fasting and just walking. Recently, I've gained some weight back and it's triggering me to feel hopeless but after watching this, you're inspiring me to jump back on the self love wagon!! So bless your heart, you help others by being vulnerable enough to share this aspect of your life!!
This is the reason TH-cam should exist. Thanks for sharing. We are very similar. I have always been bigger and have lost and gained several times. I needed this video for motivation. I am the same with the gym. I hate it and have joined at least 5 over the years. I did DDP yoga for over a year and had decent results but as usual I never fully committed and combined a healthy diet with it. The fact is you have to change your lifestyle and it's not easy. Hoping one day to achieve what you have. Also, it looks like you have a supportive spouse which always helps. Again, I really appreciate it.
This was very inspiring! Thank you for sharing your journey!
great work men! you look sharp. The best part of all I think it is all your work and progress to be a better version of yourself and be more intune. running its amazing. keep the great work!
Good for you. I've lost 30, but it wasn't quite intended. I had a major heart attack and two surgeries. What can I tell you about hospital food? That was the start, then just adjusting the diet and very gradually getting into exercise later on. I now exercise every day and eat mainly plant-based foods. Keep up the good work.
I just love hearing your story! How awesome that you have found the path that is working for you! I've always enjoyed your channel, and your cooking, but this video is so inspiring. Thank you for being so open and sharing.
Lost 100 pounds and grew an arm, very impressive.
The arm was the hardest part
Great to hear your success, my wife was also part of my succes going from 90kgs to 72kgs...she just bought me a gym card on fathers day and told me to find a coach in that gym. Coach gave me higher protein balanced diet plan which was edited maybe 2-3 times, I never felt hungry and lost that way in maybe 2 months with working out 2 days a week. But coach told me he rarely see success like this, most of his clients lack the will to stick the plan and gain weight all the time.
Such a great, real-life story. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much
One thing that I heard you say over and over was the word “we”. So important to have the proper support. Congratulations.
Wow, I haven't seen you in a while. I used to follow your videos for recipe ideas, but alter the ones I could for vegan keto. Now I'm moving more into low carb so I can include other healthy options like beans and increase my gut diversity. Each person has their own path for sustainable success. Thanks for sharing your inspiring journey and Congrats!🎊
Good for u! You mentioned the two most important things. In order to have long term success u need to make a lifestyle change and in order to do so it needs to be sustainable/ enjoyable. I was a college swimmer and even after i stopped I was able to maintain 165 with relative ease until I got into my mid 30’s. It was then that any good genetics or athleticism I became vulnerable. The new norm became 175 for a good while but literally in just a couple of years I now find myself at 209! I was in a motorcycle accident which made it difficult to be active and changed a lot of my lifestyle. Add in work, stress etc I made eating fast food two to three times a day the norm. I really don’t like being this heavy or this inactive so I searched TH-cam for inspiration. Thank u! Point being it can happen to anyone and anyone can change their life. I needed a push :)
Might try eliminating the daily coffee for anyone else with acid reflux. Fixed my problem within days. Great video!
This is a great story, I 58 and have always been just a little overweight been told I have ‘big bones’ so many times. I now have around 35lbs to lose fasting being mindful of what I eat not eating after 7pm cutting down on alcohol. I am becoming a healthier person started a new gym nearer to where I live. Life is good this journey is great thanks for your honest words ❤
you look great and appear happy with the progress, I congratulate your willpower and determination. undoing years of undisciplined habits is not easy and can really make or break you. I am sure you have grown so much as a person in the journey and glad you are sharing your knowledge with transparency. Great job my guy, you are truly an inspiration
Good job buddy. Going through my own health journey at the moment. You're spot on when you say that you need to do what feels right for you. Seems like you've really cracked it, well done.
Building motivations grounded in joy and vision for good things versus in self hatred is very important. And knowing that you can find what works for you, just bc it works for others doesn't mean it's right for you. Thanks for sharing.
This is my first time on your channel, and it comes at a great time. So much of what you talked about through the video -- primarily the see-sawing and emotional fatigue -- mirrors my experiences. I appreciate your openness and vulnerability. Wishing you continued peace and good health.
Yes, very inspiring video. I noticed all the things you said like intermitted fasting, running, and portion control are the things that have helped me in the past. Thank you for doing this video to help give me confirmation! I'm so grateful and I'm going to give this a try again. I'm actually 275 pounds right now and need to take the same journey you took to lose 100 pounds, so again thank you for sharing!
Thank you for sharing your journey. You figured it out and that is a great achievement. Continue to enjoy this exciting lifestyle. Give thanks.
16:31 Omgggggggg so happy for you 🥹 this was so inspiring❤❤❤
Thank you for this. I'm 25 pounds away from my 100 lbs. Needed a little push. Thank you.
How can I not be a fan? Good on ya!
Thank you so much for sharing your story! This is really inspiring! 😀
I used to have bad case of acid reflux regularly. My daughter-in-law is from the Philippines and she recommended drinking cup of warm water after each meal. I've followed that routine for several years now and no longer have a problem with acid reflux. The cup of warm water helps digestion.
Thank you for sharing your story ,very inspiring 🙏
Wow, what an inspiring story. Truly admire your patience and dedication. Thank you for sharing your journey.🤗🙏💪
PULLING FOR YOU, BROTHER!!!! GOD BLESS AND KEEP YOU IN THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST!
Wow, I suffered from gastritis but had to stop taking omeprazol (that kinda helped but never really cured me) and acupuncture was also the only thing that really worked for me! I was cured after 2 sessions and it still blows my mind! When I tell people they dont believe me, so it’s really great to hear you had a similar experience!
I think we all are just looking for that one change. When we implement it, maybe weight gain slows down or halts, but it's not enough to lose weight. So we ditch it and move on. Everyone I know who's lost weight has had to make multiple changes.
You look great!! Inspiring story, as I am also trying to find a sustainable way to stay lean. Congratulations! I hadn’t watched you in a while, and I was shocked to see you so thin.
Really enjoyed this video! Great work. 🎉
Fantastic video, thank you for taking us through your journey. Inspiring!
this is the best weight loss video I have ever watched
nice story , It's okay to not have the answers yet . continue your journey and trust the process "
I’ve been watching your channel for a long time (but wasn’t subscribed for some reason! That’s fixed now)… this video was recommended at a time where I’m making very similar changes and I love hearing about your journey. I’ve been running a lot, I’m using noom, and I’m thinking I might give Yoga a try as well after watching this!
Thank you for this video. Grateful. ❤ I lost 75 lbs (felt so much better self esteem - wise) but then it came back eventually…and more than 75 lbs. too. Mostly, I lost by eating meat ( a LOT of it) similar to the old Atkins diet (& now keto digested). Why? Because I still wanted lasagna, my longed for carbs…and couldn’t discipline myself to do portions. I just couldn’t “get “ that part at all. Now I’ve found intermittent fasting & with that I have hope again.
You lost 100 pounds AND grew an arm. That's amazing results :)
Omeprozole made my acid reflux worse! Constant burping from not even consuming soda. So glad I am off that crap.
Based on your story I will follow your channel. You look great.thanks from Vermont
@Sauce Stache You look great! Practicing a healthy vegan lifestyle. and, Intermittent fasting has helped me maintain a healthy weight as well. Blessings! 😊
Good stuff mark❤
wow!
your Mrs is BEAUTIFUL mate!
she has a gorgeous smile, she looks really genuinely joyous. PS....you are lovely too.
So, It was intermittent fasting, running, yoga. Acupancture and suppliment papaya enzyme for GERD.
I love hearing your story!
Thankyou for sharing your journey
Thanks for sharing your story. May I suggest for your acid reflux, try a little spoonful of Apple Cider Vinegar in a large glass of water every morning, It is said to be helpful for that. If it doesn't work for you, You can always use it in a salad with some Olive oil. Good luck on your journey
Very inspiring ✨ 💯. Not easy especially how rhe USA obese rate goes up. More mental than exercise.
Amazing story!
For the acid reflux, did you have to keep going to the acupuncturist? Or was it six weeks and then you were set? Thanks for such an amazing video!
After 6 weeks I was able to start weaning off my meds and we slowed acupuncture down to as needed. I started going back for anxiety and stress... and because I really enjoy it. But I am now entirely off my meds and don't have an acid reflux problem.
When I first started going my acupuncturist told me everyone was different and that her goal was to get me healed as quick as possible. My father in law went to a different acupuncturist after it worked for me, he only went twice but he said he didnt tell a difference.
Great story, even better success. Question: You say you did not restrict, so…what did you eat? Did you allow rice and pasta? How about breads?
Yes... lots of rice and pasta actually... I didnt restrict, I just ate better portion sizes and if I had pasta on Monday I wouldn't have chosen it on Tuesday as well... Just changed my choices to reflect how I ate over time.
I use the Super Papaya Enzyme Plus for this acid issue and it has helped significantly. I may try that hot yoga sometime. Great story.
Congratulations! Thank you so much for sharing!
I didn't finish the video yet, but i wanted to comment. I was expecting a weight loss video, but i was not expecting such sincere, thoughtfull and meaningfull video. As always your videos are not what they looks like and they surprise me everytime. It takes a lot of courage to be so real on camera. You are truly amazing person and very talented, can't wait to see where your future will bring. P.s. I am waiting for your next cookbook 😉
This really touched me. Thank you for writing this! I appreciate you so much
Agreed!!!
Be careful with yoga and acupuncture. There are spiritual accepts to that and what seems good can open doors to more problems
Yeah same tbh. Really appreciated.
I have had 2 personal experiences with different person coming forth to “ help”
but in turn there help was no help but more trouble!!!
So sadly true!!!!😩
In 2015 I started a Weightloss Journey at 528 Pounds! I ended up losing 287 Pounds getting down to the 240s with around 30 pounds of loose skin, then tragedy Struck and I watched my mom pass away! I let that Tragic life event CRUSH ME ! I ended up Gaining all of the weight back and then some over the last 5 years, Blowing up to 575 Pounds Five Months ago!! Five Months ago I went thru some self-healing and Picked myself up and learned to deal with Stress a better way, today I am 502, so I have lost 73💥 Pounds in the last 5 Months, Nutrition is Locked in and I am doing some Intense Weight Training 5 days a week and a full cardio session twice a week. Other than that I do 10-15 Min of Cardio Warmup before all of my weight training!! This time next year I'm going to be a Beast again! 👌
I think I’ve seen you post this on a few other videos. How are things going?
Keep going! You’re doing great. 73 lbs is a lot of weight to lose. You will get it off.
I’m looking to find the right eating/exercising plan. Trying extra low sugar. Sugar is in SO many foods I’ve been eating. 🤷🏻♀️
I started my weight loss journey at 240 pound. At 195 now
I Started 227lbs and now I'm 185, i did get down to 172, but gained it back... so back on it!
I got to my heaviest at 250 but got all the way to 204. I'm aiming 150. Wish me luck! Hope you push on too.😁
Good luck!😊
@@jonathonparks9518 150lbs, how tall are you? That seems extreme, but if you feel you'll be happy then go for it brother!
@@rungeon83 lol I'm 5 7" not that tall. But down to 175!👍
Mark what an amazing journey! This video is so inspiring!! Thank you!!
Thank you Emma for the encouragement to make this video and all the help!!
** Emma watched multiple versions of this video for me because I had so much anxiety releasing something so different and personal! I couldn't/ wouldn't have released this without her help!! **
@@SauceStacheI am so proud of you Mark!! Thank you for posting this! Always supporting you and your journey!!
@@SauceStache Are you saying your name isn't Sauce
@@SauceStache Thanks for sharing your journey. I think that most/all of your audience want you to be successful, so having this update and explanation really helps us. I appreciate it.
I agree with Emma also about being an inspiration to us. I feel much more motivated to be healthy and to pursue my dreams.
Just so that you know: I hadn't watched your videos in a while, and this thumbnail really made me think that I was looking at Simon Whistler, who seems to be slim.
This is awesome my man
Orlando represent! I'm so happy for you! We went plant based when I was diagnosed with cancer in 2019. I dropped like 80 lbs, but recently I noticed I've started to put some weight back on. I need to make some changes.. Oh, I am now 3.5 years cancer free!
Read Dr Michael Greger's book How Not to Die and just eat fresh fruits and veggies and nuts and seeds and berries and melons and lentils and heal yourself.
CONGRATULATIONS LUV 🎉🤗🙌🙌
Kudos on you! Very awesome!!! 💓
Yayyyyyyyy!!!!!!! Congratulations!
Congratulations, keep up the good work!
I’m sitting here at the heaviest of my life, 306lbs, looking for inspiration. Seeing that weight on the scale made me more depressed than it did inspire me to lose it. I wanted to see videos of people working out and losing weight, not just talking. That’s why I never watch these kinds of videos. Yet this video had me hooked from start to finish. This was really helpful to my mindset. Thank you brother.
for me personally, I started doing small exercises. One thing, and would just push myself to do it everyday until it became routine (took about a week). For me i got so heavy because I felt trapped and incapable of doing anything, or changing anything about my life. Until I started doing introductory exercises.
I started out doing just 10 wall push ups, not only was I trying to lose weight through intermittent fasting (aka tapping into willpower to eat only 1 meal a day) but I was also trying to rebuild muscle again after 5 years of neglect.
I started out at 280+ a month ago, fast forward to now and I'm at 266. It's definitely possible, but it's going to be slow. Very very slow. And sometimes you'll plateu, but it's okay, that's normal, you'll start losing again if you keep it going regardless.
Repetition is super important, and above all else, self forgiveness. There are going to be days where you'll slip, I have, but don't beat yourself up over it. It happens, it's going to happen, and when you're trying to change from unhealthy habits, it's important to forgive yourself for your slip ups and keep going regardless.
And if you do feel bad for your mistakes, then make up for it somewhere else within your capabilities. Like walking for 10 minutes.
@kccgokartman you can lose the weight. Just start off with Small steps. Every diet works just choose the one that you prefer. Slow and steady wins.
You can do it man I got to a little over 230 and realized something had to change. Been eating better and working out, 6 weeks in I'm down 15lbs already. It's a constant journey and gets easier and easier as you go
You can definitely do it. Find out what works for you. Not everything will. The biggest issue is that anything you do needs to be something you can incorporate into your life as a habit, and it must be sustainable. Anyone can lose weight on extreme diets or exercise but virtually no one can keep that up. Look at the history of the Biggest Loser contestants and what happened afterwards. For me stopping alcohol, going mostly plant based, meditation and lots and lots walking worked. It’s taken few years but I’m getting there. PM me if you ever want to vent about it.
310 here and feeling the same way. We can do this.
Never mind the weight loss, I wanna know how he grew back an arm.
Lmao
This is one of the most positive and inspiring weight loss stories I've ever heard, probably because it wasn't a weight loss story but rather a sober explanation of how you've gotten _healthy_ which has resulted in weight loss and other improvements. It sounds like you acknowledged that the things you've done in the past don't work or aren't adequate, and trusted yourself to find a new way. And it's all fallen into place to your benefit. Thanks for posting!
The proudest moment of my life, sorry kids, was the first time, at the age of 50, I did a 5K run without stopping. I cried for 5 minutes. So empowering! So I absolutely get how you feel. I follow WFPB vegan, but no oil. Also intermittent fasting of 18-6. People say I’m crazy but I finally feel in control of my health. So glad you found your happy body place.
The key to weight loss is no (significant) additional oil or fat. Fats are 9 calorie per gram foods. All the vegetables and carbs are only 4 calories per gram so you can eat twice as much in volume. Believe me you will never feel hunger on carbs!
That's so wonderful!!! Congratulations on such an amazing accomplishment!! ❤
"sorry kids" LMAO 😭
❤
This sort of broke my heart. I’m so happy to hear how well you’re doing and feeling, but I just want you to know that you were worthy of kindness as much at your heaviest as you are at your lightest. Thank you for your vulnerability in sharing your journey, and thank you for continuing to make yourself vulnerable to negative comments on the internet for all of your followers who love and appreciate your content 💚🌱
It would be great to hear more about your intermittent fasting schedule and what you eat in a day and all that! If it makes you happy, we'd be happy to hear about it!
Kudos! And thanks for sharing your journey. Many of us struggle and it’s nice to know we’re not alone.
It's a struggle, I had to go through all of this to get where I am! Hopefully it helps!
You're not alone, even with this weight loss im still struggling all the time but I have more hope now than I ever have before
If you are healthy and feel well, that's all that matters and I'm so glad for you, mate. Your videos have always lifted my spirit.
I appreciate that! thank you
People can be so mean and cruel. Wherever you are at with your weight journey, try not to absorb the comments of haters. Good job and thank you for all things you have shared on your channel.
Mark, thank you for sharing this. I was diagnosed with diabetes, high cholesterol and high blood pressure nearly four years ago. I had suffered with acid reflux for twenty years. Omeprazole kept it i check but I never liked taking medications. I went keto first and lost some weight and everything was improving but the reflux and cholesterol. We tried various different foods. A few more months in and I looked to Derica my wife and said, “When is the last time we ate meat?”. It was over two weeks and I had not had reflux at all. So, research into plant based diets showed positive results for all my issues. I ended up losing about 40 lbs, dropped my a1c from 11.7 to under 6, no longer needed blood pressure meds and got my cholesterol back close to normal. I still go through a cycle. I am really good for a few months, then get lazy, then get back on track again. Just the other day I was saying almost exactly what you said about hard rules and building habits. A hard rule makes me rebel. No one is perfect and we can’t hold even ourselves to those ideals. I think you have done an amazing thing and should be incredibly proud. Also… we are in St Pete and have family in Orlando. Would love to meet you both for some vegan food if you were up for it. I know, rando on the internet wants to meet, but we are also full time TH-cam creators so we actually have a bit in common. Anyway, enough creepiness. Good on you and we wish you all the best.
Take one tablespoon of acv with the mother for acid reflux. That cured mine.
I've met nice people from the Internet, some have become good friends. 👍
Thank you for sharing. I have the same issues. I’m trying so hard to get my A1c down, lose more weight, my blood pressure has been up and down. I got my A1c to 10 right now, it was 12. My doctor wants me on meds but the side effects scare me so I’m refusing. I’m trying to eat plant based and avoid as much processed as I can. It’s so hard. Thank you for the inspiration. I hope to be successful in my journey as you have been in yours . You give me hope
@@SpookyTrueone thing that personally motivates me is ticking off boxes on a to-do list. Have you tried the daily dozen app? It lets you track your daily progress on eating whole/unprocessed foods and gives you bronze, silver and gold medals for keeping up a streak! There's no punishment involved and the app lets you know what a good portion size of nuts, berries, leafy greens etc amounts to
@@SpookyTruewhat will happen if you don't take the meds? Atleast do some kind of exercise bcuz I hear that helps alot.
Wow, sobbing! As a "big guy" I've been struggling with my weight half of my life - 16 years. Ever since turning vegan, I gained and lost weight only at faster paces. Now, finally, I feel in a place where movement (swimming/running/biking), mindfullness (yoga), and cooking (the right portions and nutrition) I'm re-balancing myself. You sharing your story so openly is beautiful. And thank you for your honesty. And hat's of to your progress and proces. Enjoy!
Thank you! It's a hard battle that feels like people just dont understand, but know there are people that understand what you are going through.
You got this, be kind to yourself! I learned that doing my best to not lose weight as fast as possible and not in a straight line was the best outcome for me
For me, it was Ketovore. [ Carnivore + whole foods (single ingredient) ]
I wish I knew about this 40 years ago (I was in the dark from the food/medical industries' lies).
14 months ago 225 lb and long time high blood pressure
I'm 63 now and better shape than since I was in my 20's
180 lb and normal blood pressure
I did use intermittent fasting periodically - Key being never go "truly"hungry, but don't snack. If you get truly hungry Eat a fulfilling meal.
"Pure Sweet" brand of stevia white powder made it easy for me to eliminate sugar completely. Heaping 1/2 teaspoon is enough to sweeten a gallon of tea or coffee.
@@SauceStache
Yes! Be kind to yourself.
And my 3 lb a month weight loss may seem slow, but that's 40 lb in a year.
I noticed body contour changes even when weight would stay the same - losing fat gaining muscle, etc.
I never knew about Ketosis until 14 months ago.
Nor did I know how damaging "processed" carbs and seed oils are.
@@2Truth4Libertythat shit's dumb. Also not worth the cancer.
keto and meat is so bad for you causes illness@@2Truth4Liberty
Thanks for sharing ! I relate so much to how you felt at your heaviest and how it was for you when you were a kid .
I am starting my journey and I think I will take inspo from your journey, and add my spices 💪
You are amazing ! And no matter how heavy you were I always loved your energy, keep going 🙏
Thank you! I really appreciate this! You're amazing!!
Congratulations! It’s so good to hear you are doing so well!
Thank you so much!!
You look really well mate. I was only saying to my wife yesterday how healthy you looked.
Thanks for taking the time to share what you've been up to. It's a brave thing to do being so open. I'm sure you're going to inspire a lot of people and it's good you've been so sensible in the way you've done it.
Thank you for the video. My husband and I listened to it together in the car while on our vacation celebrating our anniversary, and we appreciate you sharing your story so much. You are inspiring us to become more active again after a year full of caregiving and loss. Thank you for being so vulnerable with your listeners!
WOWZERS! Weight loss is HARD! Good on you.
Thank you!!
Short version, eat better, stop drinking soda, be more active.
Thanks bro! Saved me some time
Well, also be kind to yourself. That's the real take away, I think. He made that point over and over again.
Without being patient with yourself and not letting the bad days kill your motivation you'll never be consistent.
Carnivore diet...do whatever you want and lose weight.
Time saved: 17 minute.
Thx!
@@OuweDibbesyou are bald. Own it
Thank you for sharing your journey!!! You're such an amazing human being!! I draw inspiration from your cooking and now you help to inspire the change that i need in my life. 🙌🙌❤❤
Thank you sooo very much!!! You rock!!
This is bringing me to tears. I am so happy for you guys. This is exactly the kind of life and love I want for myself. A partner through thick and thin. How wonderful to see you both grow stronger, individually yet together.
Thank you for sharing your story. It is inspirational on many levels. Bless you!
My son is 22 and he struggles with his weight. I'm going to send him this video. Thank you for your vulnerability!
buy bro a gym membership and a smartwatch, I feel like sending him a success story would just make him feel worse "why am I not able to find success like this guy"
@@northwestclasspnw7974 Was thinking the same thing. Receiving a video like this has the potential to make a person feel like someone noticed that they're failing. I'd definitely say something like "...this guy has your work ethic and sense of determination. He reminds me of you. Take a look and let me know what you think."
My guy. You have always been a good man. When you were 90lbs in kid football. When you were 275. And now that you're 175! It's just now you're embracing a new set of skills that have been able to bring more abundance into your life. And now you can share it with all of us. I'm inspired and going to make some of these changes in my life. Stoked to join you in better health, bro!
Keep the channel going! Much love
This is the energy we need in the comments. I feel the same way.
So wonderful to hear a thoughtful and insightful personal account of weight loss from a man. So many times it's "stop being lazy and push yourself for gains" you really showed us a vulnerable side and the reality of needing to take things slow and make reasonable lifestyle changes. Not just "wake up at 6 am and down protein all day" love your content and I've been watching your videos for years. Amazing transformation inside and out!
Wonderful, inspirational! I lost 120 and it took a lifestyle change to do it. You described it perfectly as not punishment. Nothing, no meal of any kind feels as good as having lost the weight. I feel 30 to 40 years younger. It truly is amazing as you describe. So thrilled to hear your story and accomplishment!
Thank you for your vulnerability sauce because this was something you did not have to go into detail about that you did and the level of transparency that you shown to us shows that we are far more than just viewers this is truly a community you are so appreciated supported in loved 🎉thank you🙌🌻
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👍Yes!
Your story is so inspiring. I've always gravitated to your channel as a "non vegan" because of how real you (and Monica) are. I love to learn these new recipes and seeing your personal growth. It's wholesome and real content and that's hard to find these days. So thank you and Monica for allowing us to come along on your journey. Best of luck to you both and your continued success and personal growth. Again it's very inspiring.
Nothing is astonishing in saying "non-vegan" it means you're a pro animal abus3r, stop being soo self centric, and think about the victims, they deserve kindness and love.
@@Vegan_4The_Animals go look for attention else where. Throwing a temper tantrum like a child isn't going to do anything.
Congrats on not only losing a HUGE amount of weight but really making change in your life to keep it off! This is a huge accomplishment, you should definitely be very proud of the work you've put in.
One of the times I lost the most weight was when I was doing hot yoga almost daily and I wasn’t working a depressing job. But then I got into shift work (I think 24 hour production should be illegal unless you are essential and then large perks if you have to). So I recently quit that and decided to travel across to country visiting old friends. And I am already feeling better. I really believe lifestyle changes are important and them being accessible is also important.
I totally agree man 24hr production should be illegal, I did shift work for 24 years and I hated my job, the worst thing shift work, they say it takes years off your life, much happier now but I got 50 Pounds to lose
Thank you Mark for documenting your journey. I am in the last phase of my Noom membership and am now trying to shore up lessons learned about perceived hunger/desires and how to challenge/redirect them. My generation was born out of the clean plate club forged during the depression years (my parents). Eat as much as you can, when it's available, and don't leave anything on the plate. Of course modern industry has figured out how to exploit that ethic by providing us with cheap, fast, high calorie, high fat, low nutrient fodder. So cooking for ourselves is one of the best ways to avoid that trap, and I thank you for trying to be part of the solution.
Wow....had no idea.
I'm sure it took alot for you to admit this - especially on a Food Channel - but I'm glad you did. It not just the weight loss you are demonstrating here - but the "true humaness" of the experience. You're a real person....and we like to see that. Its an unbelievable inspiration to many. Kudos! And Thank you~
