The Moment Everything Changed For Jesse Shand | (An Update)

- Jesse Shand was almost 700 lbs and had basically given up on his life. Until he discovered something so powerful that it allowed him to change everything.
How did Jesse Shand finally change his life after years of failed attempts? Where is he now?
In this video we discuss how Jesse used behavior change and mindset to finally have a break through on his weight loss journey.
Jesse's incredible 350 pound weight loss #transformation went viral when @bodybuildingcom and @truly-channel created mini-documentaries about his story.
Several years later, many of his supporters have wondered what happened to Jesse Shand - and there has been an update to the story. Jesse says he has unfortunately gained most of the weight back.
We'll cover how behavior change helped to repair Jesse's Self-Efficacy beliefs enough for him to pull himself out of a very dark and hopeless mindset.
We also discuss where Jesse is now, and why mindset and having belief in your own abilities can often be the deciding factor in whether or not we'll succeed at something important to us.

The psychological aspect of weight losing is something important which needs to be talked about. Which makes me enjoy this channel alot.
Agreed! Its a super important part!
It's the same for me. That is what I value in this channel the most!
That's why I love this channel.
So true. I’m 106 lbs down and that’s something that I absolutely hate about the BP or FA they tell themselves and other that it’s impossible to lose weight and keep it off.
Me too i love this channel!!
"Wildly succesful bulking phase" i love this guy lol
When he said that I smiled so hard
He’s done it once so he’s strong enough to do it again. I hope he finds his strength again! I started just by cutting sugar out of my morning coffee and doing 30 body weight squats before bed. It eventually led to a 100lb loss. Little things really do add up.
I dropped from 191 to 170 with diet and exercise, but what allowed me to finally get down to the mid-150s was discovering that sugar was causing my arthritis pain flares. Nothing like knowing you'll want to saw off your ankle in an hour to keep you from eating that candy, ice cream, and cheap takeout pizza.
Such a similar name, I had to do a double take as I thought I wrote that! Haha. I've lost 22 pounds from tracking calories and also a 15 min yoga session in the morning. Keep up the good work! :)
2nd time is much harder tho
You can only stay on the roller coaster for so long. He needs to look closer at his mental health and to also stable his hormones through diet in order to make the fat loss journey easier.
Yep little things, often kinda obvious things, that we usually still don't do.
My favorites are elevators and Public Transit. Walk five floors up - you'll loose max a minute, or are even faster, then with an elevator. But it keeps you moving, which is good.
And the Public transit.... Last week I could have used the Tram two times, but ended up walking. Best case I'm saving 10 Minutes with the Tram, worst case I'm loosing 5 - while paying money for it, being surrounded by sweaty people in the middle of a pandemic and oh well, the whole experience is horrible. I can walk up in a pretty nice park. That's a much nicer experience, keeps one moving and is even free.
Or back when I went to university. Best case: 25Minutes via Tram. worst Case: 40. The Bike manages that distance in 20 Minutes with ease. 15 when I go a little faster. super flexible, super nice. And being squeezed in one of those Trams in Rush hour is a fucking Nightmare.
I mean that's activity, that is EASY to embrace in day to day life, it won't cost ANY time usually, sometimes it'll even safe some, It's a nicer experience and you may even save a few bucks. And many lack that activity. Yet again, easy to that stuff, at literally no cost of anything (unless you live in a Skyscraper. Yeah, not gonna climb 40 floors every day)
When he was "flopping" around in his seat it got me pretty hype lol.
But hell yeah slow is the way to go. 2-3 pounds lost a week has turned into 30 pounds lost in the last few months!
Edit: also I did 10 (real) pushups in a row yesterday. I've never done that in my life even as a kid.
I smiled so wide when he was flipping around 😂😂
And yeah, same! Slow is the way to go. Congrats btw! I have yet to be able to do a pushup, but I'm learning 🥺
Congrats!!! 👏👏👏
That's a great achievement! So proud of you! Keep it up 👍
How many calories do you eat in a day?
“I haven’t meant to let you guys down”, was really heartbreaking to hear. I’m not let down, I’m saddened for him. These struggles are so hard, to worry about how his struggle affects others...seems like a burden.
Insightful comment, thanks!
Don't feel too bad. He raised 20k in a skin removal gofundme, which I doubt he really used for skin removal now.
Kiana is my favorite TH-camr because she is so eloquent and factual. Really just a queen. Many TH-camrs resort to simply using their opinion or shaming others to get their points across, whereas Kiana always stays respectful and kind. I really love this.
Couldn't agree more!!
Because she was on the same boat as overweight individuals such as myself
Soo truueee!!
"Many TH-camrs resort to simply using their opinion or shaming others to get their points across," which TH-camrs are you watching, lol? There are so many other factual TH-camrs if you'd just look
@@kindauncool kiana is genuinely factual, and never really shames anyone or attacks and sarcams anyone.

Can we just talk about the dudes in those fitness forums? In my experience with online fitness and people at the gym, super fit people seem like really good, motivated humans who are more than willing to help out anyone who asks.
Highly dedicated people are the best people. The shit one are the less talented less confident that envy them and they will be toxic towards you
Yeeeess, gym bro’s are great. Plenty of them would stop and help me with the machines so I wouldn’t hurt myself.
A gym bro slapped my mother and burned my house down... then he lunked a sledge hammer in my living room at 3am every night to remind me.... thanks for reminding me.
@@mike2312plol
Jessie's already succeeded, in my opinion. The fact that he lost 350lbs at one time is an insane achievement. He's already climbed mount everest once in my eyes so he shouldn't feel bad that he slipped up. By doing it the first time, he's proven to everyone that it can be done. The only reason he has to lose the weight now, is if he wants to feel good physically. He's already an inspiration who's surpassed all reasonable expectations.
NSR's - Non Scale Rewards - are the best! Waking up with energy. Feeling comfortable in jeans. Discovering you actually enjoyed your salad. Realising you smiled after an exercise instead of flopping and groaning. Getting up without going "oomph". Celebrate the non scale victories!
This! 👆🏻honestly some of the tiniest things feel the best like for me it was getting a ring on I’ve had for years that’s always been too tight
Nice framing! Also, enjoying your workout, recognizing when stress levels go down after a walk, when you stopped eating a lot late at night so you’re actually hungry in the morning. List is endless!
This made me realize why I was so successful for May and June and fell off the wagon in July, thank you!
What was it if you don’t mind me asking
good luck with everything dawg
Valeria Ramirez basically that I didn’t reward myself at all for anything I succeeded in, and my goals were too vague “feel better” so as soon as I didn’t “feel better” I felt I had failed, despite it actually being a stomach virus that threw me off in the first place.
Cameron Laite thank you so much
SAMEEE but also July here is hella hot so I like sitting in front of the fan
When he was starting out being silly flopping around, the motivation and smile he had were magical. Made me so happy to see someone have a spark of belief in themselves.
I want Amberlynn Reid to watch this
Yesss yesss yessss😎👍
yes ma'am
Amber DOES.NOT.WANT.TO.LOSE.WEIGHT. she doesn't, it's no secret. Of course, if she could magically be 120 pounds all of a sudden and keep eating whatever tf she wants, she'd take it. But she's not willing to stop consuming 5-6k calories a day to lose the weight she needs to.
@@clementine9187 People need to stop giving her views and attention. You are totally right, it's no secret she doesn't want to lose the weight...far more money in controversy and mukbangs....
Honestly, I can't see how she has cancer and yet seems to have little to no motivation to change and it's sad really. :// To me, she is very inspirational and entertaining (even though I am not subbed to her bc I don't want to support her unhealthy habits) but I really hope she quits TH-cam to focus on herself because at the end of the day, her life is more important than that sweet TH-cam ad revenue. :(
My tiny step was to stop eating fast food everyday and only eat food I make myself or food from a sit down restaurant. I did that for a few weeks and then started counting calories. Eventually I started keto once I mastered calorie counting and now, 3 years later, I'm 190lbs lighter. 🤷♀️ It works but once I got to "maintenance" it has gotten really tough. Because now, there are no goals other than to just not gain weight. That has definitely been the hardest part of my journey so far. Especially when I don't want to be so food focused for my own mental health. It's a delicate balancing act.
You can definitely treat yourself and have cheat meals if you are still good with counting calories. I eat fast food twice a week and always maintain my calorie deficit
Maybe you should set non-weight related goals that would help your maintenance. For example, one of mine was to complete a Chloe Ting workout program. Or learn a new recipe every week or every month...
I recommend the book Atomic Habits by James Clear. It helps people stop thinking “goals” and rather “systems” which is more sustainable. All the best!
I'm so proud of you!
I totally get you. I've lost 30 kgs this year and I am at my desired weight. I am trying not to gain but I'm also trying not to lose either since I might go underweight.
God that sucks, I feel really bad for him. The reality is that most if not all addicts will relapse at least once but if he did it once he can do it again. Bumps in the road like this are super common and I do hope he turns it around.
He's only 25... I'm 21 and I'm gaining quite a lot of weight, this is very inspiring and motivating, thank you😭
You can do it.
Dont let your thoughts get in the way
You may just be a stranger on the internet but Im rooting for you. Start with baby steps, whatever works for you. You can do this!
I'm 27. I started working out this year. Let me tell you. My biggest regret is that I didn't start sooner.
@@Killzoneguy117 You're not letting regrets refrain you from working out and this is great!
I'm rooting for the both of you fr
I lost some weight and started gaining it back and I still have a lot of weight to lose,this video is very inspiring I think I need to think about my plan and behavioral steps
I had lost 30 kg within a year (suffered from BED for 14 years) but I had 5 more kilos to lose and I made no progress in the last 4 months. Then, without me noticing, I started to binge again after I had a lot of issues at work and with my boyfriend. I have gained like 6 to 7 kilos. I'm at the beginning now of falling back into my old behavior, so I now have the chance to stop here, process what's happening, and go back to my healthier lifestyle I've obtained the last 15 months.
I'm proud of you. We'll all have our days of falling behind, but we have to use it to encourage us even more to change. There's no success without failure. You can do it! ♥️♥️♥️
@@K3t4k4t thank you so much for your kind and encouraging words ☺️ they help a lot!
@@awsome182 You're welcome 💞💞
You can do it 💛💛💛💛
weight loss is a psychological and emotional game. if you're stable psychologically, it's going to be easier
Parts to come back to.
Self efficacy: 3:13
Steps:
1. Start small that it almost seems silly
2. Set action oriented goals and monitor progress
I start going to gym since January, till now, I lose 34kg( 75 pounds), I must say this is a hard journey, but I‘m happy.
Good luck
Good luck
one of the toughest things about the COVID outbreak is how much I miss the gym. I'm still taking long walks but it's hard to find substitutes for controlled lifting with machines. Not gaining, but not as toned as I was in March.
That's incredible man, congrats!!
“He only changed one thing”
Me: *his weight? ._.*

His behavior.

His hygiene? 🪥

“To know your limitation is to be in a state of delusion.” I forget who says that and I may be quoting wrong but that’s always been a powerful statement for me.
Humans overestimate their ability to do something in one day, and underestimate their ability to do something in one year.
Truth
I really needed this. I'm in a hole myself, but this feels like a blueprint to understanding the real problem. Me.
You got this mate. Everytime you succeed something no matter how small then enjoy and remember that moment. And if there are moments where you slip up then just learn from it and continue trying. From someone who got out of the hole :)
Best of luck, mate! You can do this!
You are not the problem, you have a problem that you can overcome. Do not identify as the problem ❤️ you are so much more than your weight or health.
Once you achieve your goals, you are faced with the gap between what you expected to feel and how you feel. That's why a lot of people fall back on weight loss, perhaps they equated a lighter body with more chances to find a partner or something similar, but they lack a rich social life and the feeling of loneliness sends them into comfort eating which over time brings them back to where they were. That's my experience, often people don't lose weight for health nor for aesthetic reasons but for social reasons, which they often don't even acknowledge.
I'm not crying you are. I am always going too root for this man.
I discovered your channel through your video on Nikocado Avocado, and since been watching your videos. Your weight loss, and your ability to explain things without condescending truly has opened my eyes. I am using your tips to start my own weight loss journey. You are a beautiful human being, and thank you
your channel is extremely underrated!
I haven’t been fat in years, since my concussions. Lost another 20 pounds since the start of quarantine. These kinds of videos really help me stay informed and motivated
That’s great. I don’t have a scale and I don’t feel like asking my parents but I can see a difference and feel a difference in my strength. I probably didn’t lose a lot of weight but I think it makes a difference in how easy things are.
Yayyy I'm so proud of you!
I’m currently 7 months pregnant, and struggled with an ED for six years. I have (obviously) gained weight, and fear of relapse when I have my son. I like how to lose weight, he started out with small choices, and it inspires me to be a little easier on myself when I do decide to lose weight, and just make the small choices that will improve very my well being over time.
You got this :)
Hello love, scrolling trough the comments and found this. Hope you’re doing well right now. And even if you aren’t, it’s gona pass. It won’t be a big moment like you see on tv but rather slowly. Maybe you won’t even notice. But it is gona pass. And you will be happy and healthy again. You just need to promise me to try. Do we have a deal ?
Definitely got this! I recently had a baby and have always been super self conscious about my weight. So during and after my pregnancy walking with baby and pup has been my go- to
Omg when said it gave him something he had not had in years. Hope. I almost cried. I felt that deep. I’ve been there. I’ll tell you 10 years ago I lost 85 lbs and kept it off and then in a two year period I quit smoking and had two babies. So I gained 100 lbs. it was so very demoralizing but I knew I could lose it again. Now I’m 106 lbs down. Believing in yourself is the key.
I have so much love for those awesome people who responded to him with kindness, advice and support.
I saw a clip from the show "The Floor is Lava" in which a competitor was asked why he stopped working out the week before, and he answered "I was sad!" He was having a laugh but also revealing a truth about himself that many of us deal with. If I'm going to emotional stuff (like right now, being more isolated and working from home during the pandemic), exercise tends to fly out the window. I have the time but not the motivation. I think not focusing on the weight and instead focusing on completing a task right now would be so helpful. Thanks for the video. :)
Noone talking about his great sense of humor ?
I'm going to say this right now.... This is the most motivating video I've ever seen! Right now I'm 5'11" and 310 lbs and very unhealthy. I feel this video is exactly what I've needed to hear. My self efficacy is really terrible and I see it's holding me back. THANK YOU FOR THE VIDEO!
You can do it, Adam! Baby steps and take it one day at a time. Hope you’re doing well and don’t give up.
Y'know, I'm actually learning and getting motivated for far, far more than weight loss from this channel. A lot of things are seeming more possible today, small steps and all that. Thanks.
I'm so glad
@@KianaDocherty these are applicable in many aspects of life!
Rewards: I went into a "normal people" clothing store on Saturday to buy workout pants for myself. Size XL, but I haven't fit into that (or the store 🤣) in over a decade. It feels amazing! 💪😇💙
Yay! Congrats!
I'm 15 y/o and 50 lbs down since March. Recently it has gotten harder for me to lose weight (I've got around 20 more to go). It's been very stressful because of school starting and I've been very hard on myself. I'm gonna start by doing little steps again, this journey brought back my happiness. It's gonna be hard but hey, wish me luck. If you're going through the same thing at the moment, I believe in you all as much as I believe in myself! We can do this together!
Losing a ton of weight does not require a miracle, but persistence and patience. This means the first thing you have to understand is that there are no shortcuts.
Positive reinforcement really helps when your self-belief is so low. Unfortunately, when the problem isn't as visible as being overweight, sometimes people tell you your whole problem is in your head and you can just decide to change it. But that decision is as big and scary as deciding to live 100% healthy from now on. But it's true, little steps is key to build up your self-efficacy again 💛💛 thanks for the video!! X
If Jesse is out there reading this, you can do it! Most people who leave addictions try and fail so many times. Relapse is a part of the process you could say. If your heart is still beating you are still in the game and it’s not too late.
Yay I love your videos so well made❤️
thank you!!!
Agreed! These are so educational and Netflix quality
I really hope he can get back on track and be the best he can be. This is also really scary for a lot of us who have lost a lot of weight, that maybe one day it will return. Love you and love jesse 💜🖤
This it’s gonna sound dumb, but I’m a relatively new viewer, I’ve lost 10 pounds on my own (out of the 60 I need to) and almost gave up before watching your videos
watched one video and now i cant stop watching them thx for being inspirational and inspiring me to lose weight 💪🏾
thank you!! good luck your journey! ❤
I can tell he hasn't gain all his weight back and that's something to be proud of too.
What a nice community for helping a guy out, it is always nice to see people genuinely helping someone out without profiting from it themselves
I didn’t really even realize when I finally committed to losing weight that my small changes to start were the building blocks to a firmer weight loss plan! I just said to myself that I would cut one thing out… then when I got used to not having that thing i would cut something else. It makes me feel revitalized to know that while it’s a slow progress, it’s the right one. And when I reach my goal in weight, I’ll make a new one to shift my focus to. 19.4 lbs down in 3.5 months, 70.6 lbs to go.
Thank you for this video and all your other ones! They are helping remind me that I’m not alone and I’m doing it!
Awesome - keep going ☺️
How are you doing now?!
@@impersonator5070 As of today, I am 49.6 lbs lost in ~9.5months! I'm almost to that 50lbs lost mark!!
My blood pressure has also gotten much better as well! A side win but still a great thing to accomplish.
I love this guy! It’s so fun to watch him on his journey
Thanks for covering Jessie's story. I was aware of his success and backsliding and so many of us find ourselves in the same position. My partner and I have both lost and regained weight and the most difficult thing is starting from scratch. Please cover this content more and maybe some practicle plans to get mentally ready and begin again would be most helpful, thanks for your content, from Australia!
This man's mindset at the beginning of his weight loss journey actually brought me to tears.
What a beast.
Now Oct 2022 - He has not added a video to his channel since the video she showcased here. I have no idea who Jesse Shand is but when I saw this was still his last video, my heart sank. I hope I am wrong, but that honestly is not a good sign.
I was a couple pounds shy of hitting 300 lbs in mid 2021. Now I'm 220 lbs. Almost 80 lbs down so far and looking/feeling way better. Goal is 180 by the end of the year. Definitely doable for me, as long as I keep believing in myself.
I wasn’t morbidly obese but I was 14 and 190 at 5’6 I couldn’t walk up the stairs and just felt bad about myself but I started to workout and eat healthy foods more veggies and I got down to 135 bit I weight lift but the funny thing is I never thought I could do what I did
The food we look at as 'comfort' food are often 'murder' foods.
I was so happy when Jesse said he stopped drinking sodas as a part of his weight loss program.
It is not natural to gain this much weight and it points to the extreme unnatural way foods are processed and sold in modern society.
Many modern processed foods and food materials are intentionally processed to include addiction properties.
The celery stick was never made to addict you to it but the cheese dip in the plastic bin it's sold in was.
I really do hope that Jesse finds the love for himself to realize he lost that weight once and he can do it again.
Jesse does not owe anyone on the internet anything and that the judgement that he is a fuck up ignores the entire other more then half of himself that saved his life.
That part was Jesse too.
It never hurts to get angry at food too.
To look at certain foods as an enemy trying to kill you and to say,you won't beat me because I will not buy you in the first place.
Weight loss like this ,at it's core is the person becoming strong enough to love themself and to say,
We-....all of our fighting selves inside us ,will love ourselves enough to not let this enemy ,food ,kill us.
We deserve to be happy.
We deserve to survive.
Jesse,God Bless You and I hope you see,you are wonderful and strong and you can fight again to be free of the past.
Tomorrow is just a wiggle in a chair away.
And Tomorrow is great and you deserve to live in Greatness.
Jesse, I am a 40 year old woman who survived 20 years of intense abuse and 40 years of chronic illness symptoms that have not been diagnosed (and have hardly been tested). I have allowed myself to gain a bit of weight, and only my children have kept me from becoming hundreds of pounds heavier than I am. I have been watching Kiana's video here over and over trying to build self efficacy to even start taking care of my body and the symptoms in places where I can. I'm about to really start, and I hope you will join me. Or anyone else in Kiana's community
good luck! it will help your chronic illness symptoms too, probably. In this together
Bless u with eternity prosperity
We can do it!
@@carolmaciel2908 hey!! I'm down only 15 lbs. since I posted this but have done a lot of ground work too. How bout you? How can I cheer you on??
I have lost 15 pounds in the last two months, and your videos really inspire me! thank you!
Honestly, I don't need or want to lose weight. I love your videos because they offer evidence based ways for achieving goals and making changes. Thank you so much!
I stopped smocking last year. But for 2 years I had already lowered my intake to only cigarettes in the evening. I'm not going to lie it was still difficult, but at least I was craving my cigarette only once a day, that made it soooo much easier. Like you said that small effort was a trigger for the big effort!
Aww congrats,!
For real, working on mental health is just as important as physical health. I've still got a long way to go but there's no way I would have been able to get even this far without making some lasting changes to self perception (the kind that Jesse really needs to make now). Even the stupid small stuff was tricky at times. In those instances, knowing what was healthy + tuning in to how the body enjoyed doing the healthy thing ( *especially* drinking water and eating right) really helped start me on the right track.
That's very true. With this man, you know that someone who hasn't washed himself well in years has more than an eating problem. I hope he gets back on track. And good luck to you as well!
@@donnagelina8548 Thank you!

@@rydoge21 Matt failed to get a summer job again, clearly.
don't we it too often??? have you SEEN movie and show reviews that put JUST as much, sometimes even MORE effort into editing as well. You should get out of your TH-cam bubble
honestly, bro is so funny and charismatic (and cleverly optimistic) especially at the beginning of his journey which makes him real & very inspiring
Hopefully he tries again. It's hard losing weight I've been on yo-yo for the past 4 years with my weight. I have lost now 22 kgs . Writing down your progress in the gym and what you eat. Really helps you.
When you said “unfortunately”, my heart dropped because I thought he died for a second lol
Awesome content Kiana, thank you!!!. I´m overcoming alcohol and drug abuse, and I´m 49 pounds lighter now. One of the key things of this health journey that helped me so much is the "community" element: getting rid of shitty people (family, friends, couple or whoever is putting obstacles and struggles) is key in order to get long term results. So I was thinking on Jesse´s story, saw a couple of his videos: one of the comments on it, the one that his mom is cutting his foot nails, said something like "your mother is an angel, make her proud". If you are 350 kg and you can´t even move 5 meters to go the fridge , you are not able to go shopping food; so his "angel" is the one going to the supermarket, buying a ridiculous amount of food and feed him. I know that getting rid of his mother is near impossible. Can you make a video covering the "feeder" psychology? she was literally feeding her own son to death, but I don´t think she´s a psychopath nor doing this on purpose (maybe she is, but being a psychopath is highly unlikely). Thousands of people are surrounded by a feeder, it gives me chills. Regards!
I started small as well, didn't have sugar in my tea, then didn't have milk. Only ate one bag of chips instead of two... Decided to take the stairs instead of the elevator... etc. Now i'm a healthy BMI weight. Took about 6 months to lose 14kg without excercise. I started at 74kg (5'5 female).
Thank you, i really needed this video. Thank you so much. My story was pretty much like jessie but mine has an even more sad ending. I was at 110 kg during my final years of college and needed to lose weight. I onced went past a martial arts gym near my campus and got interested. I don't remember much but tht morning i decided to clean my breakfast and try this new atkins diet my friend suggested and lo and behold, 6 months in and im at 82kg. Tht was the happiest moment of my life ever. I could do pullups, i could run i could focus better in my studies i was basically in heaven...
That is until everything went south..fast. currently im at 115kg, a 28 yr old jobless loser and living with my parents. I make amends meet by taking graphic design commissions but so far no job..
One thing led to another, you see i got into abike accident and had to miss my finals. It made it so i need to take another semester just for the subject. I didn't manage to graduate on time with my friends but i tried to keep my chin up. Things get worse, i couldn't get a job for a year so i decided to get my masters...which i fuck up as well. One failure lead to another, i become more and more depress and food became tastier. Just as how fast my life was getting better, it got worst and impacted my self eficacy in so many ways tht there are times i just want to end it all... (fortunately my religion forbids suicide)
Right now im sitting here.. all alone in a dark room munching chips..i am currently living jessie's life. Howevee this video helped me have some hope. I mean im not gonna wake up tomorrow and be happy thin but thanks, this video really helped in me at least taking the 1st step.
I don't know how long will it take..but i know ill get there. One step at a time. I mean i got there once right? At least i know i can do it again.
Ill leave this comment here. Ill come back in 2025 to see how well it ages.
small update, 10 months later and im now at 95kg 209 lbs. im still far from my goal but things got better now. ive got a job as grab delivery boy and yeah 20kg/44 lbs lost is pretty good. Im self teaching myself boxing in my spare time and currently looking fwd to life. i mean it's not good but it's getting better. see you in another year.
Honestly I really felt all the words that you wrote. I was tearing up a little whilst reading it. you should be very proud of the update!!!! I’m not sure if you are Muslim but regardless I’ll keep you in my prayer and hopefully step by step you can regain control over your life.
Thank you for your comment. Good luck with your life, don't give up on yourself.
@@longgband I'm rooting for you Yuki!! I'm sure your hard work will pay off!!
i was never able to regulate my eating habits until recently. when i was in 1 year of uni i started having flashes of pain all over my body that progressed from 1 time in a few days to multiple times in a few hours. i talked to a doctor and she asked me what i was eating. at that moment i ate a lot of sugar and milk related products. then i got a surgery on my teeth and the pain disappeared bc i was eating different food when i was in the hospital for a week. in the end of fall of my 2nd year i started having pain again and i decided to put 1 tsp of sugar instead of 2-2,5 in my tea and coffee which i drink multiple times a day. the pain stopped. its been almost a year since i started this new habit and this small change helped me much more than when i tried to cut off all the sweets and stressed myself out. my body isnt fat, its just really weak from lack of training.
So, do you know now why that's happening? Is is some sort of diabete?
@@legrandliseurtri7495 my endocrinologist said that my blood became thicker due to hormone therapy and sugar was hitting my nerve endings or something? i still dont know why that stopped in hospital (maybe it had something to do with food or medication) but im alright now so yeah
Yasss new vid from the best TH-camr on the platform !!!💓💓💓
damn thank you! 😭 hope you like this one!! it was a fun one to make 💕
Wow how sad. I hope he can slowly start believing in himself again.
Many have said this and its true, you dont get to be 500+ pounds while being mentally healthy, even if you do this journey to be better, you most likely not solved the issues that made you fat, its not only about bodys health but also the mind, we are a 2 part creature, and one doesnt work without the other.
Can we just stop and take a moment to acknowledge that this channel was started 6 months ago and now has 75k subs?
I watched his whole video. I feel like you didn't address the fact that he lost the weight "biggest loser" style. In his video he was being very realistic and believes he will loose the weight again but not as quickly. He can't spend 100% of his time on health or he won't be able to live a normal life....He realizes he will have to make smaller steps and fit the Heath progress in with a normal life over time. This sounds better to me. For whatever that's worth hahaha. Loved your video other than that!!
Jesse. Please keep trying. I know its hard but I have been through so much in my life and I am finally trying to pull myself out. Eventually you have to face things and you will be surprised. Prayer to. Cannot say enough about prayer
I have a co-worker that constantly yo-yo diets. He goes on these insane nutrition/calorie cutting diets and he loses weight for 2 months but just goes back to gaining it again over the next month until he starts another one. I've told him multiple times to start small, improve over time, but because he's used to losing the weight quickly, he gets easily discouraged when he'll lose only half a lb in a week instead of 3 or 4. Diet culture has permeated our society and it takes people like Kiana to shed light on the truth of the matter. This was a great and inspiring video regardless of the ending being negative.
When I tell u I needed this right now I'm this very moment. Thank u God
The production value, your analysis, the editing...I'm in awe. And thank you so much for sharing Jesse's story, I really hope he sees this!
Made me cry when he said he had a shower, and the effect of having warm water on him. Something we take for granted. Hope you love yourself enough to keep going Jesse. Love from Devon UK.
Great video, one of the few channels where I don’t skip through the video.
This is motivating me to get back on track.
Jessie has an addiction. Like myself, he’s addicted to carbohydrates and we will always be. It’s ok to fall off the wagon. I gave up smoking for 5 years, started again because my boyfriend atvthe time smoked too and now I’ve been cigarette free for 7 years. An addiction is something very hard to beat and there will be times when we give in but we need to persevere!
This is why you shouldn't start a thing in the first place once you start even after leaving it is difficult to keep avoiding it. I am glad you quit smoking.
Slow and steady wins the race. Do not change your diet excessively in the beginning, you can't ignore that pizza, or chocolate, or cake for life. The more you ignore, the more you will want to have it.
Start small, work your way up, and consistency is the key.
god i adore your content... the way you intermix behavioral + dietary sciences to provide context and a better understanding of the issues and individual you cover really shows a care and effort into researching and presenting these kinds of deep dives and I cannot wait for more. ..
I went to Jesse's channel, and he hasn't updated in 4 years... damn... :( kinda hard to feel positive about the whole thing now. I hope he got some therapy and was able to achieve all of his goals again, even if he did it silently this time.
I've been skinny 8 years after being fat since childhood.
I still see myself at 300lbs, and do not recognize myself in pictures, even 8 years on. Thank God for diet and exercise!
It's been 3 month. My PMS are almost gone, pain more manageable, I will do a small trekking this weekend, I wasn't winded after a brisk walk, I am going out more often and enjoying it just like I wanted. My mood is more stable, my energy level is up (I can do more than working + 1 thing a day!)
With this self confidence and energy, I booked a 2 week road trip with walk in nature in Scotland that come soon! Also want to do other simple things that will come this summer (You can go see flower field in their season, can't wait for the sun flowers in July!) Staying on track is so much easier, rewarding and actually work like that!
Throughout the years of trying to lose weight, one of the hardest things is realizing that my behavior wasn’t changing and I would stay on for two weeks or a day and it wasn’t working setting small goals has been what’s helped me you know, instead of sitting on the couch and listening to my music I walk around I got outside and I walk and my energy is the best when I get home from work so I walk when I get home from work. Changing small things helps make it seem possible
You are very inspirational. You do all the research you can for your videos, thank you
aww thank youvmuch !
I've been in a pretty bad place for about 3 years now, and I've had absolutely no trust in myself, absolutely no motivation or reason to change my habits. I want to lose weight and be better at studying, and I did lose some weight (and kept it off),l but now all my attempts in the last year have been a failure. My sister would always tell me it's all in my head and if I have the attitude that I'm going to fail, I am much less likely to succeed. I never truly understood what she meant until I watched this videos and a few of your other videos. I'm new to your channel and I've been binging your videos for the past 2 days. Thank you so much for making these videos, they are truly inspiring to me.
You can do it! Even if you fall off from the routine, it doesn't make you a failure. You always have a chance to get back up.
17:02 it’s not about us, it’s about him. He’s not a character that society created, but he seem to think that way. He didn’t let us down, he let himself down. And i hope he get his courage back.
I’d love to see you talk about April Lauren! She’s on a weight loss journey and it seems very optimistic 💕
As a person who lost 100 pound from 16 years of age weighing 270 pound to become a 18 years of age 167 pounds all that mattered was attitude to achieve it while the journey was enjoyed. Your channel is so educational more humans need to watch.
It’s really really hard to mentally prepare yourself to lose weight you’ve already lost. But it can be done, and more importantly you can do it in a better and more sustainable way the second time round.
I hope he gets out of his negative head space and realizes he can do it all over again if he wants to
You speak with this empathetic, mindful, well-researched vocabulary that makes it especially comfortable to learn about the topics in your videos🤍
If he reads this, I hope he knows that it is okay to fail. I have always been a tall and big guy. Sometimes 220 lbs and 6'4" and sometimes near 300 lbs when I was working out to build mass (and sometimes because I was being lazy). But I never have had near these struggles. I hope he knows he can always get back up on the horse. The past is past, lads. Putting yourself in a safe place mentally and surrounding yourself with positivity is the first step. You have to learn to love yourself. Then anything is possible. I am pulling for Jesse to get it right. God bless you, Kiana. God speed to all.
You’re doing such important amazing work here! Your videos help educate why it’s so hard to lose weight and how to improve, not just the same old calories in, calories out. What I’ve learned from you and from others has helped me lose 43 pounds in less than 3 months. I’ve been trying to lose weight since I was 8, this is the first time I’ve lost more than the same 10 pounds. I love what you’re doing and I can’t weight to see you hit that million sub count because you deserve it!👏🏽❤️🔥
Losing weight helped me see I had the agency to work on my nicotine addiction, not just my food addiction. I'm still not all the way off nicotine yet, but I haven't smoked an actual cigarette since before new year. It also helped me realise I had an issue with binging alcohol not just food. Succeeding in one goal, small or not, makes every subsequent problem and its solution seem that much less daunting.
Realising that the smell and taste of cigarettes made me queasy was a huge milestone even if it wasn't one I'd set for myself.
I just want to thank you for this video. I'm 16 y/o and I had bulimia and anorexia, this disorders lead me to have a bad relationship with food in general. I'm trying to re-learn a lot of things, but is really frustrating. I feel like I can't take the next step to health. This video gave me a new perspective, thank you ♥️.
