It's all relative mate. He's huge, meaning he burns way more calories just to sustain life. 10 lbs can be done in 2 months with keto. I weighed 15st 7lb in August. I was a stable 12st 12lb by December.
Hey Boogie. About 5 months ago my girlfriend of 6 years ended it with me. Saying "I can't see myself with you in the future". She did it over text message. She wouldn't meet up with me to talk about it. I couldn't function. She was all I had. I never worried about bettering myself. Only thing I cared about was her and if she was bettering herself. Its toxic to do that. because now that I'm alone. I don't have a degree or education. I don't have a real career yet. So as you can assume my anxiety and depression have me in tears wishing I didn't exist anymore. Some days I don't know what to do. But watching you and your story inspires me that everyone has a shitty life. It's not just you. And there's people that care and want to help. You are one of those people. Thank you.
My dude. I've had alot of girlfriends cheat on me and leave me. It took me such a long time to find a girl that actually treats me right. It takes a while. If she couldn't see herself with you, she obviously didn't love you. Keep your head up and try to stay positive boss. You got it.
Jim Lahey You’re what’s wrong with the world. Dismissing people’s issues when they try to be open just causes them to just bottle it up. When people bottle up their issues can drive some people to suicidal thoughts. You gotta try to be more supportive. Don’t have the Alpha male mentality. Not everyone is mentally stable as you.
Wakifo women can be very, very cruel. I wish you the best...my gf of 8 years was banging her work colleague and left me to marry him. Its not easy, dude.
Why do you make comments like "it's not much of an achievement to be under 400lbs". Come on man, it's all relative and that was an awesome achievement for yourself to accomplish. Keep up the great work!
UNDER 400 POUNDS?!?!! Dude that's amazing! Even if it takes three years to get to your goal, as long as you keep trying, you'll get there. Not a single doubt about it.
He's gonna be skinny before he is 50. I'm sure. He's gonna be a healthy old man with a baby face, and will find a new wife! I can't wait to see it happen.
I know this means I don't financially support you with ad-revenue all that much. But I only watch your rambling videos and the videos where its just you talking to a camera. You have such a great personality and gentle heart that makes me enjoy just listening to your thoughts. You have got this man, you are doing really well.
Boogie, this is my first video in a while, you are looking amazing. 600-400lbs is a gigantic achievement. Once again you are amazing never give up, and soon you will get to that 300lb mark and will be happier than ever.
I am going through a similar process. I weighted 260 lbs and I am trying to get to 200. I am currently at 245. I reached 240 but the winter in new england caused me to gain 5 again. I am waiting to get back to the gym soon.
I had a dream where Boogie gave a house tour in a video as a reveal that he was down to 250, and I saw him smiling the whole time. Really, really weird dream. You can do it, Boogie! Looking better than the 90's anyway!
My dude you are a living, walking inspiration. You have more dedication in your pinkie than most people will ever have in a life time. From 600 to 399 lbs is an absolute crusher of goal to get to. Some people would have given up by the time they hit 500 if that. It's amazing to learn that you've accomplished so much in one years(?) time frame. Everyone has their ups and downs and for someone who deals with anxieties and chronic depression, you seem to be very optimistic. That's great, and it's good to hear and to know coming from someone who is affected by both of those. I personally have had my... times... and I know some people who weren't so lucky to (putting this nicely) uhm... make it through their's. I would recommend trying meditation to help in sorting through all the negative stuff and then just simply acknowledging that it's there and then simply letting it pass. Actualized.org (youtube channel) does a great job helping beginners if you find yourself not knowing where to begin. Can't hurt to try and if you don't like it you can simply stop. Anyways, I've rambled enough :P I hope you continue doing well, continue to absolutely dominate your goals, and wish you all the best in the world.
my friend, he is not a living, walking inspiration. he clearly had too little discipline to stop shoving food inside his mouth that is how he got to 600 pounds to begin with, this is a guy who exists to remind us of how not to live our lives
Looks like someone didn't watch the video or past videos about this topic. You would have clearly known that he has an eating disorder. Secondly, you're not my friend, guy.
I can't wait to see Boogie at a slick 190 pounds, looking like a different person, just slayin poon with a new girl walking around the background of every video, "Boogie do you have an extra toothbrush?" "Lots of em baby, just check the linen closet, I'm busy right now" "Thaaaanks Boogie" and he smiles at his webcam
Boogie, I want you to know... 40 is not old. Once your healthier I hope you can see that and start changing how you talk about yourself. Ive met too many people who are 50 and look 70, and they always talk about how old they are. Then I've met people who are 70 and look 50, and they never talk bad about their age.
I agree. I interact with guys in their early 20s and guys in their 60s. I find it odd that the 60s age group have more vigour than the some of the guys in their 20s. I am not suggesting that all 20s and 60s age group act this way. I am talking about the attitude towards aging and life in general.
399 pounds is AMAZING Boogie. I started playing ice hockey at 370 pounds. As you get below 330 or so, you will notice the extra physical ability and freedom of movement. I'm sure you already do from where you were at. Keep going!!!
I came across your videos a couple weeks ago and somehow really fell In love with how you conduct yourself and how open and honest you are about your life goals, fails, and accomplishments. Very inspiring and congratulations on your steps to a healthier life.
Boogie is one of the first TH-camrs I ever subscribed to. Probablly 5 or 6 years ago. One of the most genuine, honest, A+ people on this platform. Great, great dude.
Everybody has a inner strength they don't know about. And you'll never find it until your ready to find it. So in other words. You never know how strong you are until being strong is the only choice you have left. When your put in a corner with no way out but to face the fear head on you will forever be surprised at what your cabable of. The strongest obejct in the world is your mind. Stay true stay strong and stay focused. God speed my friend
TheAmazingFirehawk this is a perfect example of who not to listen to or take advice from or really even associate with at all. Thanks for being a good example my friend! Happy days
The Cool Kids Club damn your comment made me cry.. these past few months have been from hell. I lost two people in my life to death and my 6 year relationship just ended.. and I don't know how to be on my own and alone without my ex. But I am trying. Thank you for your comment.
LCbabyxO I'm very very happy it helped you. I know about being alone. It's hard to live a life with somebody grow feelings and grow a bond then to just up and leave and your stuck alone. It's the unkown that scares us the most. But I'm telling you the gods honest truth in time you'll be okay. I've been through heartbreaks after heartbreaks and in time I came out on top.
I'm 42 and single pretty much. Just on and off girlfriends, since I was divorced too. IT was for the best. I feel free now. Just keep busy, give it time, You'll heal from that. and will find another nice woman for companionship. For now, just work on yourself for now! Be single for a while. WORK on yourself. Get outside more, exercise to help the stress, anxiety!! One day at a time.
@boogie2988 That part at the end where you said your bed feels like a prison and you want to get out and do stuff, it sounds exactly like me with my depression. I sat around in my house doing nothing most days losing myself in video games, but now after starting antidepressants and making positive changes in my life. I always want to do stuff, and when I can't I feel like I'm in prison. Love you man.
BossBattleGaming depends which country you live in dude, and most are most certainly not addictive, both me and my partner miss out pills all the time and have no craving for them other than our own care for our health and wanting to be more consistent, I live in the UK , with free healthcare, where my doctor isn't just trying to make a pretty penny off my illness I've not been cycled through 20 meds or given anything that had any adverse effects besides withdrawal crashes , that level back out again after a week or so. My best wishes to the OP , I'm sure you'll find the key to your prison some day and you'll slowly make your way out, cheers for those of us who are still trying to find the strength ;) !
That's your opinion and you're most certainly entitled to it, but not all issues can be solved through natural means or personal growth , my depression is chronic , like boogie, and i will most likely have to live with it my whole life, my anxiety that stems from it is incredibly debilitating as well , i have grown hugely as a person the last 5 years since i was diagnosed with depression , and have tried herbal and more natural remedies, such as st. john's wort tea , meditation, yoga and diet changes, all of which are good and helpful and have been done along side whatever dosage of fluoxatine/sertraline I've been on at the time, but it is and always will be an uphill struggle , with dips in any routine i have had leading to downward spirals in mood and emotions, life stresses pulling that further, being evicted etc etc. I still have hope, a family who whilst is far away loves me very much , and a partner by my side i love with all my heart. anyway , besides all the boohooing and the life story , i still believe drugs can and for most people will play an important roll in mental health recovery, they are not fake illnesses made up to sell drugs, they are real and horrible to live with or around.
Not to belittle your situation, everyone experiences things differently, but i cannot simply "allow myself to be happy" or "accept reality for what it is" and have all my problems be solved. I for the most part am a very positive and forward thinking person, and do everything i can to ensure my attitude is as optimistic as possible, for myself and those around me, and often i find myself being the "problem solver" in my relationship, where i am the one being optimistic; despite my girlfriend also having depression but being able to do much more than i could manage currently. But that doesn't mean i'm suddenly cured of my ailments simply because i can and do see things positively. I still have huge bouts of dissociation, many bed ridden or seat bound days , where no matter how positively i try to think or do i cannot move past it that day or morning, or for hours until it passes. I'm well aware it is all in my head, it is a "mental" illness for a reason. I'm glad you seem to be able to live happily doing what you do , i'm just letting you know that whatever works for you may not be an option for others.
BossBattleGaming I agree fully, mate. Best of luck. To see the world, especially in the West...is truly a nightmare. Like Neo waking up in that tub of goo. Sad.
Boogie, Im 26 and have been with my wife for 3 years. This day its exactly one years since the divorce. I know what you are feeling,i know what you are throu. Im with you. Dont reject those feelings. Accept them and deal with them. Every day. Until they will go away and you feel free and happier ever in your life. Best wishes from Poland.
Just went trough a heart breaking break up the past couple of days and watching your videos and seeing how optimistic you are does really make me feel alot better knowing that everything will be alright. Thank you for inspiring me to look forward- after the storm there's always a rainbow. Hope you the best !
I totally get it boogie2988 . been divorced more then once (my choice) things just got too abusive and i have to take the kids and leave. Its rough. I wish you the best.....stay strong and keep plugging along. We all love and support you
You dont know the story behind it all. And you probably aint the only person thinking this but you should delete it the comment. It aint helping anyone, further more it can have the opposite effect of what you intended it to have.
General Claus Von Bolt That's an awful thing to say. Awful for Boogie and his wife and everyone. I don't think you know anything about their relationship. He already addressed that, they were together for years, things didn't work out and it's as simple as that. Also, if you are saying that to defend boogie or something I really don't think that's the way to do it! Out of curiosity how old are you and have you ever had any long term relationships? Because tbh that sounds like something a child would say who doesn't understand relationships. Not hate
General Claus Von Bolt Shut up. You, and everybody else, has no evidence to back something huge like that. Stop trying to make this seem like something bigger than it is.
Boogie you look absolutely beautiful. I don't watch your videos often, and when I do its usually before I go to sleep and it's only listening to you speak, but every time I come back to your channel I see you've gone thinner. I'm really proud of you, the progress you're making is tremendous and I know you probably don't see it because it's so gradual to you, but believe me watching a video of yours once every few months really makes the difference clear. Keep it up, pal! You got this!
im going through the same thing mostly... and i have two kids... the main problem for me is i keep thinking about my kids and just knowing they are not home when i get back home from work... i can afford stuff for myself and a good living but just knowing i was with someone for almost 5-6 years and have never lived alone... and now im fully alone daily... i see my co-workers and stuff but after that its just me and myself with my computer and thats about it.... i get to see the kids on the weekends (i work 5 days a week 10 hour days..) so not much time there and i struggle with depression and sometimes can be happy as ever but then beat myself down in a few minutes just thinking about stuff that i shouldn't even think about... like knowing that my family is no longer there at my house anymore.. and wondering if the kids are okay... but each day it gets better... slowly..
Went through the same thing with 2 daughter's. Keep your head up, spend quality time with them on the weekends and just keep on going man. Things get better, my kids look forward to the weekends so much now. The beginning is always the worst.
Loop Koop get yourself a hobby my man. I have jumped into playing guitar and have gotten pretty decent myself. You gotta distract yourself with something seriously. Take on a physical activity such as a martial art or painting, music what ever it is. Out of sight, out of mind.
Loop Koop same here, but now I'm so happy and the mother of my child is starting to regret leaving me for no apparent reason as she is having problems with her current bf and tells me about it. I got everything good coming my way now and I just focus on me and my daughter. Trust me things get better in time!
I have been watching you for a few years and I don't think I've ever commented, but man, let me tell you: I am so proud of you and what you are accomplishing, and the rate at which you are accomplishing it. I've never been /super/ overweight, but you've done your part in inspiring me to treat myself a little better and last year I lost almost 20 lbs. I'm well on my way to being the smallest I can remember myself being too, and it's just a great feeling. I wish the best for you and I hope we can both continue making good progress :)
The newer ones (less than 5 years old) are made much better than the ol' timers. Still, always be careful with any sort of electric heating device. Using a power-strip that has a fuse in it helps too.
I love your new attitude! It is so inspiring and I need that right now! I'm a couple weeks away before my docs send my paperwork to insurance for my Gastric Bypass. I've lost 94 lbs pre-op and am excited to see what will come after surgery. Been fighting the urge to go back to old habits because I know after surgery I won't have the ability to eat the food I loved most of my life the way I used to. But I have to keep going and I know I can do this. Thanks for the push I needed today! 😊
Divorce is always hard no matter the circumstances! I'll be praying that all goes well, and that your depression gets better :) enjoy watching your videos! Thanks for sharing!
This is what I love about you, I love how genuine you are. I hope you feel well soon, and I’m sure that will ease your mind more when you are feeling better from the illness. I hope that at some point we can meet at one of the various conventions you may go to, if nothing else then to just have a friendly conversation. I admire your tenacity to push through and be transparent about your problems at the same time, not enough people like to show that other side of their issues and try to play off the positivity as if nothing is wrong at all, you show both sides of the perspective so gracefully and allows people to see what it’s like to truly be human. I’m proud of you brother, take care.
Keep at it man ! I have struggled with (As does my wife) Anxiety and Depression and when we go out with people and tell them , they look at us like there is no way we actually struggle with this. What they don't know is the ammount of times we cancelled things because I "felt sick " (anxious) and couldn't get over the thoughts and feelings of "What if its to hot" or " what if there is too many people" or " what if they ask me about something i'm struggling with " ....It is a very real thing , I suffer from Health Anxiety (which many people use the term hypochondriac buts its not really the exact same ) which I generally feel like something is wrong with me health wise (my heart is going to explode, i'm gonna have a stroke , I'm gonna pass out ) But most people around me (except my wife and close fam) have no idea. That said, keep at it my man ! Proud of you ... I never started watching your chan until about a year or less. If you ever need any prayer or just a word , hit me up :-)
You are doing well sir , you are catching me!! I'm about 8mth ahead of you, slowed down ALOT but still going down , and IMO that's fine. keep your head up and keep moving forward. Luv ya Bud.
Boogie, you're an inspiration. At retropalooza in Arlington, I met you, but I mostly just took a pic and that was it. If I was more socially capable I'd have said how inspirational you are. I can't imagine what you're going through, but I do find it a source of strength as I've had some rocky issues in my marriage as well. Keep doing what you're doing dude, and I hope to see you continue to succeed in the future!
Woaw boogie you look SO WELL! We know that it must be rough times for you but always remember that we are here for you, we love you and you're the best!
I saw the twinge of pain when you said being stuck in bed or in a chair feels like prison now. I've felt that pain man. Not necessarily in the same manner but it still hurt. The first time my ex wife brought up divorce, I made the worst decision of my life so far. I let my anger and sadness take forefront and woke up the next morning to a cop asking me to do a sobriety check. That one moment of lost control cost me 3 months of my freedom. I was stuck in a square building with little more to do than sleep. I couldn't interact physically with anyone which doesn't seem that bad, but I would have killed for a handshake or someone giving me a high five. Being confined tears you apart. Especially when you have a taste of what is just outside your reach. I want to see you thriving Boogie. You deserve it. You are earning it.
You can do some self lymph treatments. I just had a total knee replacement and did self lymph treatments the therapist showed me and I have little to no swelling, plus all the bruising is gone. Ask your doctor what you can do. It is easy and not dangerous. You are doing such an awesome job. I know your journey is not easy, but it will be rewarding. Please hang in there. I, like so many, are rooting for you. God bless
I started getting permanently red-faced when i passed 30. Turns out i have Rosacea, which is a fairly common skin condition that causes (near) constant flushed facial skin.
Boogie, huge HUGE CONGRATULATIONS FOR BEING UNDER 400LBS! I'm so proud of you man! It's nice to know that we can have a candid, funny, down to earth youtuber!!
That's right! Keep going, everyday. The absolute beauty of life is that we can heal from pain with time and perseverance. Someday that pain will simply be bittersweet, and you'll remember the lessons you learned from it more than the physical and emotional pain of this period. Bear in mind that sometimes things hurt all the more because we may have regrets for any mistakes we've made. If you have any such regrets, focus on correcting it to the best of your ability. Evaluate what you will do differently in the future as well as things you already do excellently. You can do this! Anyone who is going through similar, you can do this too!
Under 400! Huge accomplishment. 👏👏. This winter is insane.. we even had snow in Florida last week.. I hear you, Boogie. Always hugs and encouragement being sent your way.
I'm right there with you boog. Very similar situation and I feel gutted,deppressed,have had major panic attacks,I feel hopeless and that I will never be the same. I hope and pray that I will but the future looks very bleak. Watching you I can feel that your struggling too. I'm sorry boogie. Love ya friend and don't listen to all the hate. Don't listen to the lies. And most definitely listen to your heart and soul only. If you love your wife don't give up boogie. Maybe give it some time but know in the back of your mind that she married you once for a reason. When you get healthier and more active. Just be there for her and try to save your marriage or try and marry her again. If she was truly your one time love then I believe that you can fix it! Otherwise that hole in your heart will always be there. Don't give up on it even if you both signed a piece of paper...that's all that is ...a dumb piece of paper. There's more to life than a dotted line and u can prove it!!!!!
Man boogie...this whole business is awful. I'm sorry though, your wife just does not understand what in sickness and in health means. I'm sorry, I'm old school. That just hurts that she wants to just be "friends" and nothing else. Why the heck did she take vows for?
Boogie, I'm curently going through a divorce right now and have been feeling a lot of sadness and despair. Your comments about time healing the wounds and reaching the point where the things aren't happening to you anymore really spoke to me. Thanks for sharing your journey with us and keep on thinking positive! Much love ❤
Me and you are going through the same thing brother. I have a 2 year old and it has been one of the hardest transitions I've had to face. My advice stay focused, keep being productive, and take care of yourself! Positive vibes man, stay positive!
Hey Boogie, I'm from Arkansas also (Fort Smith specifically and the cold SUCKS right now) so I understand what you mean by not being able to do cool things like the people in Los Angeles! But also I've been where you are with the divorce stuff. I got married when I turned 21 and was married for around 2 years (we had been together since high school) and it all unfortunately ended badly back in 2015-2016. I fought tooth and nail to save my marriage but in the end I was left hurt and was just a mess. Unfortunately I wasn't treated very well throughout the divorce despite doing everything I could to save the marriage. I didn't think I'd ever get over it and I didn't think I'd ever be happy again. I've said all of that to say this, it's taken some time but things eventually got better for me midway through the last year and now I've been happier than I ever expected could be possible while I was going through that. Just know that it always gets darkest before the dawn and the dawn ALWAYS does come every morning. I always had to remind myself that "it can't rain all the time". Stay strong, brother. You don't know me but I'm here for you. You're a good guy and things will work out for you there's no doubt in my mind. Take care, my friend.
This type of attitude towards divorce is really helping me accept divorce as a reality and helping me talk about it and treat it as an appropriate subject matter for conversation.
My wife of 11 years just told me she wants a divorce. My eyes have been so red from crying. I saw your video and at the end it made me feel that we will be okay at the end. I have never felt pain like this but thank you for putting up this video. It really uplifted my spirit
I love hearing your updates! Whether good or bad, you're handling it well (from what I can tell from a video). There's always going to be good and bad things in life, what matters it what you focus on and how you handle it. I'm so glad you're experiencing more freedom, even if it comes with difficulties. Love your life boogie! (:
I’ll be honest here: the best thing you do is these “rambling” videos. As much as I enjoy your commentary on the gaming industry, this is your best, most real material you produce. All that coming from someone who hates vlogs and believes they are for the most part done to feed the vloggers’ own vanity. You get honest without the self-exploitation bs that others put in these type of videos and you provide a purpose as to why your share your life with the rest of us. In addition, these videos appear therapeutic in nature which adds to your integrity. As a side note, I don’t think you need to feel bad nor apologize for not sharing your divorce immediately when it happened or as things felt like they were falling apart. You get to share what you want when you want or when you think it’s appropriate. You did the right thing for waiting to share that part of your life. You look to be doing as well or better than anyone could with all these things going on in your life. Keep moving forward and helping people including myself. Thanks for being real.
I had a video of yours recommended to me. As you know if you read my comments, I've kept up with you for quite some time now. I have another account, William, and have more often commented on your vids with that one as it is usually the one I am logged into while doing YT stuffz. (This account that I'm posting now is primarily for making vids, rather than watching them, LOL) I was shocked that the video recommended was so old. But glad, also. I needed to see it. One of yours I had missed. Normally, I would tell you thank you for the encouragement the video gives to us morbidly obese people. I am not going to do that this time. What I have to say is for you, not me. I feel it's something you need right now, and I feel it will do you good to hear it. Boogie...I am SO god damn proud of you!! :) Never look back, but always remember. This is Big Bastard, signing out. **Salutes**
I also have an anxiety disorder Boogie, I completely understand the struggle. People definitely don't understand that you can have moments of happiness and it doesn't represent your whole being. But I am praying for you brother, keep on moving!
I love your videos so much. I went thru a divorce a year ago.. It sucks. It destroyed me. I’ll never do it again. Anytime you wanna ramble I’ll listen for sure, or watch ❤️❤️❤️
Hey Boogie, regarding the lymphedema, I suffer from extreme edema, which my doctor has prescribed Lasix and potassium tablets (because you lose potassium when you urinate from the Lasix). Using a leg rest in addition to the medication regimen has helped, but I also use compression bandages on my ankles, which provides relief as well. I also had a gastric bypass, so if you'd like to talk for advice, hit me up.
Boogie. Facial redness is body inflammation. Happens to me too. If I become stressed, sick, drink alcohol, etc. too many things at once I’ll have facial redness and stuffiness. And I’m well below obese. I’m actually pretty in shape. ALSO the facial redness is common during lifestyle change. You’ll have the redness as your liver and kidney cleans itself out. It’s normal-ish. Not horrible. But take a look into AntiInflamitory foods. And consider the redness is just a symptom of a deeper thing. Commonly your kidney and liver.
Hey man, glad to see your doing well. Just went through a divorce myself this past year and I'm feeling almost the exact same sort of things that you are going through. Just wanted to let you know how much it helps to hear somebody describe the range of emotions that I'm also going though. It means a ton to know that none of is are truly alone on the journey. Thanks for what you do and take care.
You're looking a lot better boogie :D Here's for another year and a 100 pounds less! Keep it up dude, love you, and I'm super thankful for you helping me out with your videos about suicide about a year ago
My surgery was january 3rd, and I'm down 27 pounds. you're doing great, listening to you talk about your gastric journey is amazing. thank you for sharing with us so much.
Thanks for making this video. I don't have any real issues in my life right now. But had a random panic attack for the first time this month. So I'm just trying to stay positive while the after effects of the attack pass. It's been a few weeks and I just hope to feel better soon. I've never had any mental issues so I've been blessed until this point. Just have to fight on.
BOOGIE HOW CAN YOU NOT GIVE YOURSELF CREDIT FOR BEING 399LB FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE 1995?! You're bloody Superman dude, that's amazing!! Obesity is just as much of a battle as any other eating disorder! I'm rootin' for ya.
My mom has gastric bypass and she gained back 100 lbs at least after ten years I’m proud of you sweetheart but I hope you work out and keep up with it my mom had dumping syndrome for a year and got an eating disorder I know it’s ten times as much work this way but keep it up and know you deserve to be healthy we all love you and hope you keep it up you deserve it and you deserve the love!
I wish I had your support structure. I tell my family how I'm not coping and having suicidal thoughts etc and they just don't bother to contact me for weeks, and when they do finally visit they just carry on as if I sent them nothing.
She probably figured that she take off and use that pre-nup since he was able to pay for the surgery. In her mind it is best to strike now while the iron is hot than later down the line when he has less money or something.
I just started Water Therapy, hope you can start that soon, moving in the water is so much easier. It helps my back and legs. Also... 400 pounds is a great achievement, soon you will be down to 350 and soon after to 300, won't happen right away, but you are doing very well and are well on your way to get there!! Keep it up!!
Idk man
600lbs to 400lbs is a pretty big difference in my opinion
Idk who would say it isn't.
thebahooplamaster God bless him
Keep god out of his personal achievement.
He lost more than I weigh.
thebahooplamaster I know this is unrelated, but I see you everywhere!
+Ådne Oveson It just means "I hope the best for him"
Boogie, are you fucking kidding me? 399 for the first time in over 20 yrs is a MASSIVE achievement! Keep up the good work!
i hope you were being sarcastic mate
It's stupid to poke shit at one of the most loved content creators on youtube from an account you post videos from.
No it's not
Anecdotal, but you can even see his chair behind him now.
Dude you löst about 200 lbs while i am sitting here an am struggeling to loose 10 lbs. I am really proud of you.
Andy Evans But the modest for that isn't that easy
Andy Evans mindset** easy** sorry
The dont eat shit Part is easy but the workout Part ist still a bit difficult for me :D
Didn't he go under the knife too though
It's all relative mate. He's huge, meaning he burns way more calories just to sustain life. 10 lbs can be done in 2 months with keto. I weighed 15st 7lb in August. I was a stable 12st 12lb by December.
From 600 to 400 is a huge achievement...quit selling yourself short brotha...
Eklypised tru dat!
Sloth 200 is not a skinny person.
-Jon S. I believe he said 2, skinny people. So 100 a piece.
Or one grown man, either way he was carrying around multiple people. Keep up the hard work, Boog!
Sloth more like 3 or more
Is that the back of your chair i see? Wow. A lot has changed proud of you bud.
The Coletrain I was going to say that too, it's such a great way to see his goals working
Right!? He is kicking major ass!
Hey Boogie. About 5 months ago my girlfriend of 6 years ended it with me. Saying "I can't see myself with you in the future". She did it over text message. She wouldn't meet up with me to talk about it. I couldn't function. She was all I had. I never worried about bettering myself. Only thing I cared about was her and if she was bettering herself. Its toxic to do that. because now that I'm alone. I don't have a degree or education. I don't have a real career yet. So as you can assume my anxiety and depression have me in tears wishing I didn't exist anymore. Some days I don't know what to do. But watching you and your story inspires me that everyone has a shitty life. It's not just you. And there's people that care and want to help. You are one of those people. Thank you.
Wakifo damn man sounds sad :( 😢 stay strong head up keep goin wish u the best man
My dude. I've had alot of girlfriends cheat on me and leave me. It took me such a long time to find a girl that actually treats me right. It takes a while. If she couldn't see herself with you, she obviously didn't love you. Keep your head up and try to stay positive boss. You got it.
Jim Lahey You’re what’s wrong with the world. Dismissing people’s issues when they try to be open just causes them to just bottle it up. When people bottle up their issues can drive some people to suicidal thoughts. You gotta try to be more supportive. Don’t have the Alpha male mentality. Not everyone is mentally stable as you.
Desert Snake Thanks man! I hope for the best for you as well.
Wakifo women can be very, very cruel. I wish you the best...my gf of 8 years was banging her work colleague and left me to marry him. Its not easy, dude.
Why do you make comments like "it's not much of an achievement to be under 400lbs". Come on man, it's all relative and that was an awesome achievement for yourself to accomplish. Keep up the great work!
I definitely agree
Completly agree
because he wants sympathy.
humbl
He's a humble man
Boogie seems like he has such a good heart. He's human but he means well in everything he does
this is such a nice thing to say :) also I agree
this aged horribly lol
Goals are relative. Keep on trucking, my dude 👍
And ghouls are relatives.
Sometimes the lights all shinin on me, other times I can barely see. Lately it occurs to me what a long, strange trip its been.
Nothing left to do but smile smile smile..... SUMMER TOUR wo0t...... we should bring Boogie to a show GRINS :)
You're treating bad moments as just moments instead of making them into bad days. You are nailing it.
UNDER 400 POUNDS?!?!! Dude that's amazing! Even if it takes three years to get to your goal, as long as you keep trying, you'll get there. Not a single doubt about it.
He's gonna be skinny before he is 50. I'm sure. He's gonna be a healthy old man with a baby face, and will find a new wife! I can't wait to see it happen.
Yeah but it would be cool if he achieved it in like 2 years. #functionaltraining #cardio #healthyeating
I know this means I don't financially support you with ad-revenue all that much. But I only watch your rambling videos and the videos where its just you talking to a camera. You have such a great personality and gentle heart that makes me enjoy just listening to your thoughts. You have got this man, you are doing really well.
Alvilos Those are really the only Boogie videos I watch too. They are the best!
Same I could listen to him for hours about topics I don’t even care aboit
Boogie, this is my first video in a while, you are looking amazing. 600-400lbs is a gigantic achievement. Once again you are amazing never give up, and soon you will get to that 300lb mark and will be happier than ever.
I am going through a similar process. I weighted 260 lbs and I am trying to get to 200. I am currently at 245. I reached 240 but the winter in new england caused me to gain 5 again. I am waiting to get back to the gym soon.
You never even banged her geeez get over it
I had a dream where Boogie gave a house tour in a video as a reveal that he was down to 250, and I saw him smiling the whole time. Really, really weird dream.
You can do it, Boogie! Looking better than the 90's anyway!
Pillsbury DoughBane I subscribed to your channel
SAVAGE 101 SAVAGE well shoot, thanks! Guess I should start uploading more
You never had that dream, thats stupid.
Edward Hernandez shhhhh, it is a nice story
My dude you are a living, walking inspiration. You have more dedication in your pinkie than most people will ever have in a life time. From 600 to 399 lbs is an absolute crusher of goal to get to. Some people would have given up by the time they hit 500 if that. It's amazing to learn that you've accomplished so much in one years(?) time frame. Everyone has their ups and downs and for someone who deals with anxieties and chronic depression, you seem to be very optimistic. That's great, and it's good to hear and to know coming from someone who is affected by both of those. I personally have had my... times... and I know some people who weren't so lucky to (putting this nicely) uhm... make it through their's. I would recommend trying meditation to help in sorting through all the negative stuff and then just simply acknowledging that it's there and then simply letting it pass. Actualized.org (youtube channel) does a great job helping beginners if you find yourself not knowing where to begin. Can't hurt to try and if you don't like it you can simply stop.
Anyways, I've rambled enough :P I hope you continue doing well, continue to absolutely dominate your goals, and wish you all the best in the world.
my friend, he is not a living, walking inspiration. he clearly had too little discipline to stop shoving food inside his mouth that is how he got to 600 pounds to begin with, this is a guy who exists to remind us of how not to live our lives
Looks like someone didn't watch the video or past videos about this topic. You would have clearly known that he has an eating disorder. Secondly, you're not my friend, guy.
if he has an eating disorder, then his parents are to blame for his shitty genes. i apologise
I didn't want to call you an idiot in my last reply, but god damn you're stupid.
how am i stupid its true
I can't wait to see Boogie at a slick 190 pounds, looking like a different person, just slayin poon with a new girl walking around the background of every video, "Boogie do you have an extra toothbrush?" "Lots of em baby, just check the linen closet, I'm busy right now" "Thaaaanks Boogie" and he smiles at his webcam
Love you to man, stay strong!
AJ Pickett *Too
Thanks Kevin.
thanks for stealing my comment. goshhh ;)
That grammatical error is infuriating
Maybe I was loving him up to the point that he becomes a man, in which case, the word use would have been bang on. (but sadly no)
Boogie, I want you to know... 40 is not old. Once your healthier I hope you can see that and start changing how you talk about yourself. Ive met too many people who are 50 and look 70, and they always talk about how old they are. Then I've met people who are 70 and look 50, and they never talk bad about their age.
I agree. I interact with guys in their early 20s and guys in their 60s. I find it odd that the 60s age group have more vigour than the some of the guys in their 20s. I am not suggesting that all 20s and 60s age group act this way. I am talking about the attitude towards aging and life in general.
@RHS Hey, who knows how long people'll be living in the future? 60 is the new 40!
399 pounds is AMAZING Boogie. I started playing ice hockey at 370 pounds. As you get below 330 or so, you will notice the extra physical ability and freedom of movement. I'm sure you already do from where you were at. Keep going!!!
Great work man.
I came across your videos a couple weeks ago and somehow really fell In love with how you conduct yourself and how open and honest you are about your life goals, fails, and accomplishments. Very inspiring and congratulations on your steps to a healthier life.
Crystal Steiner I subscribed to your channel.
Hey thanks that's super kind of you!
And like me you will keep coming back for years. he isnt a perfect man, no one is, though he is the most honest youtuber going.
Boogie is one of the first TH-camrs I ever subscribed to. Probablly 5 or 6 years ago. One of the most genuine, honest, A+ people on this platform. Great, great dude.
Congrats on the 399! Amazing dedication :)
He's tried "pure work" before. it didn't work. So he had the surgery and diet change done..
Everybody has a inner strength they don't know about. And you'll never find it until your ready to find it. So in other words. You never know how strong you are until being strong is the only choice you have left. When your put in a corner with no way out but to face the fear head on you will forever be surprised at what your cabable of. The strongest obejct in the world is your mind. Stay true stay strong and stay focused. God speed my friend

Or they end up killing themselfs.
TheAmazingFirehawk this is a perfect example of who not to listen to or take advice from or really even associate with at all. Thanks for being a good example my friend! Happy days
The Cool Kids Club damn your comment made me cry.. these past few months have been from hell. I lost two people in my life to death and my 6 year relationship just ended.. and I don't know how to be on my own and alone without my ex. But I am trying. Thank you for your comment.
LCbabyxO I'm very very happy it helped you. I know about being alone. It's hard to live a life with somebody grow feelings and grow a bond then to just up and leave and your stuck alone. It's the unkown that scares us the most. But I'm telling you the gods honest truth in time you'll be okay. I've been through heartbreaks after heartbreaks and in time I came out on top.
Boogie we love you
I'm 42 and single pretty much. Just on and off girlfriends, since I was divorced too. IT was for the best.
I feel free now. Just keep busy, give it time, You'll heal from that. and will find another nice woman for companionship.
For now, just work on yourself for now! Be single for a while. WORK on yourself. Get outside more, exercise to help the stress, anxiety!! One day at a time.
Hope everything goes well with you
hi
Ricky we're rooting for you ricky
I'd kill for a day of gaming w/ Boogie
woow chill ma dude chill, no need to kill for any reason.
Bücherregal Domi it’s an expression dumbass
Same
Justin L. That's not at all what happened
To bad this is his 5th divorce
@boogie2988 That part at the end where you said your bed feels like a prison and you want to get out and do stuff, it sounds exactly like me with my depression. I sat around in my house doing nothing most days losing myself in video games, but now after starting antidepressants and making positive changes in my life. I always want to do stuff, and when I can't I feel like I'm in prison. Love you man.
BossBattleGaming depends which country you live in dude, and most are most certainly not addictive, both me and my partner miss out pills all the time and have no craving for them other than our own care for our health and wanting to be more consistent, I live in the UK , with free healthcare, where my doctor isn't just trying to make a pretty penny off my illness I've not been cycled through 20 meds or given anything that had any adverse effects besides withdrawal crashes , that level back out again after a week or so. My best wishes to the OP , I'm sure you'll find the key to your prison some day and you'll slowly make your way out, cheers for those of us who are still trying to find the strength ;) !
That's your opinion and you're most certainly entitled to it, but not all issues can be solved through natural means or personal growth , my depression is chronic , like boogie, and i will most likely have to live with it my whole life, my anxiety that stems from it is incredibly debilitating as well , i have grown hugely as a person the last 5 years since i was diagnosed with depression , and have tried herbal and more natural remedies, such as st. john's wort tea , meditation, yoga and diet changes, all of which are good and helpful and have been done along side whatever dosage of fluoxatine/sertraline I've been on at the time, but it is and always will be an uphill struggle , with dips in any routine i have had leading to downward spirals in mood and emotions, life stresses pulling that further, being evicted etc etc. I still have hope, a family who whilst is far away loves me very much , and a partner by my side i love with all my heart. anyway , besides all the boohooing and the life story , i still believe drugs can and for most people will play an important roll in mental health recovery, they are not fake illnesses made up to sell drugs, they are real and horrible to live with or around.
Not to belittle your situation, everyone experiences things differently, but i cannot simply "allow myself to be happy" or "accept reality for what it is" and have all my problems be solved. I for the most part am a very positive and forward thinking person, and do everything i can to ensure my attitude is as optimistic as possible, for myself and those around me, and often i find myself being the "problem solver" in my relationship, where i am the one being optimistic; despite my girlfriend also having depression but being able to do much more than i could manage currently. But that doesn't mean i'm suddenly cured of my ailments simply because i can and do see things positively. I still have huge bouts of dissociation, many bed ridden or seat bound days , where no matter how positively i try to think or do i cannot move past it that day or morning, or for hours until it passes. I'm well aware it is all in my head, it is a "mental" illness for a reason. I'm glad you seem to be able to live happily doing what you do , i'm just letting you know that whatever works for you may not be an option for others.
Renn Akimine- Leggett if you think you will be without withdrawal if you stop taking those pills you are nuts!!
BossBattleGaming I agree fully, mate. Best of luck. To see the world, especially in the West...is truly a nightmare. Like Neo waking up in that tub of goo. Sad.
Boogie, Im 26 and have been with my wife for 3 years. This day its exactly one years since the divorce.
I know what you are feeling,i know what you are throu.
Im with you.
Dont reject those feelings. Accept them and deal with them. Every day. Until they will go away and you feel free and happier ever in your life.
Best wishes from Poland.
Just went trough a heart breaking break up the past couple of days and watching your videos and seeing how optimistic you are does really make me feel alot better knowing that everything will be alright. Thank you for inspiring me to look forward- after the storm there's always a rainbow. Hope you the best !
THDreams keep on trucking man!
You'll get through it mate, stay strong!
Thanks everyone for the nice comments ! :)
I totally get it boogie2988 . been divorced more then once (my choice) things just got too abusive and i have to take the kids and leave. Its rough. I wish you the best.....stay strong and keep plugging along. We all love and support you
Porsche LK -Horses -Comedy -Vloging & More sounds like we are getting both sides of this story 🤔
What?^
Every time You took half of the asset of Your husband?
uh........ actually...they took half of mine.
We are all behind you boogie. You are not alone
We can help you! But You Lookin SLIM THICC MY DUDE!
You dont know the story behind it all. And you probably aint the only person thinking this but you should delete it the comment. It aint helping anyone, further more it can have the opposite effect of what you intended it to have.
LOL Did you watch Shane’s New Video?
Reg Kray It is a battle.
General Claus Von Bolt That's an awful thing to say. Awful for Boogie and his wife and everyone. I don't think you know anything about their relationship. He already addressed that, they were together for years, things didn't work out and it's as simple as that. Also, if you are saying that to defend boogie or something I really don't think that's the way to do it! Out of curiosity how old are you and have you ever had any long term relationships? Because tbh that sounds like something a child would say who doesn't understand relationships. Not hate
General Claus Von Bolt Shut up. You, and everybody else, has no evidence to back something huge like that. Stop trying to make this seem like something bigger than it is.
forget if
Boogie you look absolutely beautiful. I don't watch your videos often, and when I do its usually before I go to sleep and it's only listening to you speak, but every time I come back to your channel I see you've gone thinner. I'm really proud of you, the progress you're making is tremendous and I know you probably don't see it because it's so gradual to you, but believe me watching a video of yours once every few months really makes the difference clear. Keep it up, pal! You got this!
im going through the same thing mostly... and i have two kids... the main problem for me is i keep thinking about my kids and just knowing they are not home when i get back home from work... i can afford stuff for myself and a good living but just knowing i was with someone for almost 5-6 years and have never lived alone... and now im fully alone daily... i see my co-workers and stuff but after that its just me and myself with my computer and thats about it.... i get to see the kids on the weekends (i work 5 days a week 10 hour days..) so not much time there and i struggle with depression and sometimes can be happy as ever but then beat myself down in a few minutes just thinking about stuff that i shouldn't even think about... like knowing that my family is no longer there at my house anymore.. and wondering if the kids are okay... but each day it gets better... slowly..
Stay strong man
Went through the same thing with 2 daughter's. Keep your head up, spend quality time with them on the weekends and just keep on going man. Things get better, my kids look forward to the weekends so much now. The beginning is always the worst.
Loop Koop get yourself a hobby my man. I have jumped into playing guitar and have gotten pretty decent myself. You gotta distract yourself with something seriously. Take on a physical activity such as a martial art or painting, music what ever it is. Out of sight, out of mind.
Loop Koop same here, but now I'm so happy and the mother of my child is starting to regret leaving me for no apparent reason as she is having problems with her current bf and tells me about it. I got everything good coming my way now and I just focus on me and my daughter. Trust me things get better in time!
Man, I didn’t sign up for a feels trip...
I have been watching you for a few years and I don't think I've ever commented, but man, let me tell you: I am so proud of you and what you are accomplishing, and the rate at which you are accomplishing it. I've never been /super/ overweight, but you've done your part in inspiring me to treat myself a little better and last year I lost almost 20 lbs. I'm well on my way to being the smallest I can remember myself being too, and it's just a great feeling. I wish the best for you and I hope we can both continue making good progress :)
Boogie, you should get an electric heating blanket. I love mine so so so much.
Jordan Leigh I read they're big fire hazards
The newer ones (less than 5 years old) are made much better than the ol' timers. Still, always be careful with any sort of electric heating device. Using a power-strip that has a fuse in it helps too.
This is probably one of the nicest things on youtube 😊
My mother says if i get 100 subscribers she'll getme a new PC!
HELP ME START MY CAREER AS A TH-camR
My cousin's house burned down last month because of an electric heating blanket
I want to make boogie one of those posters that shows a cat hanging from a string that says "Hang in there" but the cat is replaced with naked Francis
So what you're trying to say is you want to see Boogie naked
I suppose I could lend you one from my collection...
Please do it
Reading this comment reminds me of Peter Griffin lol
String would break
I love your new attitude! It is so inspiring and I need that right now! I'm a couple weeks away before my docs send my paperwork to insurance for my Gastric Bypass. I've lost 94 lbs pre-op and am excited to see what will come after surgery. Been fighting the urge to go back to old habits because I know after surgery I won't have the ability to eat the food I loved most of my life the way I used to. But I have to keep going and I know I can do this. Thanks for the push I needed today! 😊
Divorce is always hard no matter the circumstances! I'll be praying that all goes well, and that your depression gets better :) enjoy watching your videos! Thanks for sharing!
Trippy Fool ok Peele
Trippy Fool your father is in the hospital! You need to see him before it's too late
Am I dreaming?
Mine was easy
I'll marry you Sarah :)
i'll have my gastric bypass surgery next week . HYPE ! finally this 20 year war against obesity ends once and for all !
Kurigosh good luck, hope everything goes well!
God Bless you
good luck dude
Congrats and best of luck!
Kurigosh why do you have 1000 subs and no videos?
This is what I love about you, I love how genuine you are. I hope you feel well soon, and I’m sure that will ease your mind more when you are feeling better from the illness. I hope that at some point we can meet at one of the various conventions you may go to, if nothing else then to just have a friendly conversation. I admire your tenacity to push through and be transparent about your problems at the same time, not enough people like to show that other side of their issues and try to play off the positivity as if nothing is wrong at all, you show both sides of the perspective so gracefully and allows people to see what it’s like to truly be human. I’m proud of you brother, take care.
your getting so much thinner keep strong boogie
Keep it upp boogie love your video's
Keep at it man ! I have struggled with (As does my wife) Anxiety and Depression and when we go out with people and tell them , they look at us like there is no way we actually struggle with this. What they don't know is the ammount of times we cancelled things because I "felt sick " (anxious) and couldn't get over the thoughts and feelings of "What if its to hot" or " what if there is too many people" or " what if they ask me about something i'm struggling with " ....It is a very real thing , I suffer from Health Anxiety (which many people use the term hypochondriac buts its not really the exact same ) which I generally feel like something is wrong with me health wise (my heart is going to explode, i'm gonna have a stroke , I'm gonna pass out ) But most people around me (except my wife and close fam) have no idea. That said, keep at it my man ! Proud of you ... I never started watching your chan until about a year or less. If you ever need any prayer or just a word , hit me up :-)
You are doing well sir , you are catching me!! I'm about 8mth ahead of you, slowed down ALOT but still going down , and IMO that's fine. keep your head up and keep moving forward. Luv ya Bud.
S. Crawford I subscribed to your channel
lol well thx, but I post nothing... but good to see ya!
down 140lbs? That's a whole me!
Thats one big god dam potato!
It will make a lot of chips.
Same!
That’s double me
Me too 😂😂
Boogie, you're an inspiration. At retropalooza in Arlington, I met you, but I mostly just took a pic and that was it. If I was more socially capable I'd have said how inspirational you are. I can't imagine what you're going through, but I do find it a source of strength as I've had some rocky issues in my marriage as well. Keep doing what you're doing dude, and I hope to see you continue to succeed in the future!
I hope everything works out...Life will get better.
Woaw boogie you look SO WELL! We know that it must be rough times for you but always remember that we are here for you, we love you and you're the best!
I saw the twinge of pain when you said being stuck in bed or in a chair feels like prison now. I've felt that pain man. Not necessarily in the same manner but it still hurt.
The first time my ex wife brought up divorce, I made the worst decision of my life so far. I let my anger and sadness take forefront and woke up the next morning to a cop asking me to do a sobriety check. That one moment of lost control cost me 3 months of my freedom. I was stuck in a square building with little more to do than sleep. I couldn't interact physically with anyone which doesn't seem that bad, but I would have killed for a handshake or someone giving me a high five.
Being confined tears you apart. Especially when you have a taste of what is just outside your reach.
I want to see you thriving Boogie. You deserve it. You are earning it.
we are here for you
and we neva freeze
Peter Negan *click
stay strong bro never give up
Zombie terminator I have to say the same thing
Zombie terminator same
You can do some self lymph treatments. I just had a total knee replacement and did self lymph treatments the therapist showed me and I have little to no swelling, plus all the bruising is gone. Ask your doctor what you can do. It is easy and not dangerous. You are doing such an awesome job. I know your journey is not easy, but it will be rewarding. Please hang in there. I, like so many, are rooting for you. God bless
I started getting permanently red-faced when i passed 30. Turns out i have Rosacea, which is a fairly common skin condition that causes (near) constant flushed facial skin.
Trouble God Bless you
I've had it since I was 12, I'm 17 now.
Boogie, huge HUGE CONGRATULATIONS FOR BEING UNDER 400LBS! I'm so proud of you man! It's nice to know that we can have a candid, funny, down to earth youtuber!!
Maybe its time to hire a part-time assistant for the business? Perhaps helping with editing, research, scripting...
underrated comment
Does the ex get half your anxiety disorder in the divorce?
Kain d. Badguy 😂😂😂😂
That's right! Keep going, everyday. The absolute beauty of life is that we can heal from pain with time and perseverance. Someday that pain will simply be bittersweet, and you'll remember the lessons you learned from it more than the physical and emotional pain of this period. Bear in mind that sometimes things hurt all the more because we may have regrets for any mistakes we've made. If you have any such regrets, focus on correcting it to the best of your ability. Evaluate what you will do differently in the future as well as things you already do excellently. You can do this! Anyone who is going through similar, you can do this too!
Under 400! Huge accomplishment. 👏👏.
This winter is insane.. we even had snow in Florida last week.. I hear you, Boogie. Always hugs and encouragement being sent your way.
Sue's Journey
Michigan people be like... Shut up Florida, you think you "had snow"?❄😂❄
Brian S
Lol!! I’m originally from New York.. I know what you mean.
You ARE nailing it! So fucking proud of you man
I'm right there with you boog. Very similar situation and I feel gutted,deppressed,have had major panic attacks,I feel hopeless and that I will never be the same. I hope and pray that I will but the future looks very bleak. Watching you I can feel that your struggling too. I'm sorry boogie. Love ya friend and don't listen to all the hate. Don't listen to the lies. And most definitely listen to your heart and soul only. If you love your wife don't give up boogie. Maybe give it some time but know in the back of your mind that she married you once for a reason. When you get healthier and more active. Just be there for her and try to save your marriage or try and marry her again. If she was truly your one time love then I believe that you can fix it! Otherwise that hole in your heart will always be there. Don't give up on it even if you both signed a piece of paper...that's all that is ...a dumb piece of paper. There's more to life than a dotted line and u can prove it!!!!!
Man boogie...this whole business is awful. I'm sorry though, your wife just does not understand what in sickness and in health means. I'm sorry, I'm old school. That just hurts that she wants to just be "friends" and nothing else. Why the heck did she take vows for?
I was always tought reality is for people who can't face drugs.
StreaTchy FungUs I agree with this
Tom Waits said this
DoubleTInThe Morning indeed. So did George Carlin.
StreaTchy FungUs Oh shit, really? Fucking neat.
Junebug G lol you have no idea how strong someone is
Boogie, I'm curently going through a divorce right now and have been feeling a lot of sadness and despair. Your comments about time healing the wounds and reaching the point where the things aren't happening to you anymore really spoke to me. Thanks for sharing your journey with us and keep on thinking positive! Much love ❤
Me and you are going through the same thing brother. I have a 2 year old and it has been one of the hardest transitions I've had to face. My advice stay focused, keep being productive, and take care of yourself! Positive vibes man, stay positive!
TG Smooth If that was difficult wait for the talk.
That’s impossible for a parent to do right

Hey Boogie, I'm from Arkansas also (Fort Smith specifically and the cold SUCKS right now) so I understand what you mean by not being able to do cool things like the people in Los Angeles! But also I've been where you are with the divorce stuff. I got married when I turned 21 and was married for around 2 years (we had been together since high school) and it all unfortunately ended badly back in 2015-2016. I fought tooth and nail to save my marriage but in the end I was left hurt and was just a mess. Unfortunately I wasn't treated very well throughout the divorce despite doing everything I could to save the marriage. I didn't think I'd ever get over it and I didn't think I'd ever be happy again. I've said all of that to say this, it's taken some time but things eventually got better for me midway through the last year and now I've been happier than I ever expected could be possible while I was going through that. Just know that it always gets darkest before the dawn and the dawn ALWAYS does come every morning. I always had to remind myself that "it can't rain all the time". Stay strong, brother. You don't know me but I'm here for you. You're a good guy and things will work out for you there's no doubt in my mind. Take care, my friend.
Boogie remember slow is smooth and smooth is fast so take your time and you'll get there bro
Vulture Tv slow and steady wins the race.
This type of attitude towards divorce is really helping me accept divorce as a reality and helping me talk about it and treat it as an appropriate subject matter for conversation.
My wife of 11 years just told me she wants a divorce. My eyes have been so red from crying. I saw your video and at the end it made me feel that we will be okay at the end. I have never felt pain like this but thank you for putting up this video. It really uplifted my spirit
Boogie! I don't know why I never caught that you are in Arkansas! Fellow Arkansan here.
Much love and keep up the good work!
I love hearing your updates! Whether good or bad, you're handling it well (from what I can tell from a video). There's always going to be good and bad things in life, what matters it what you focus on and how you handle it. I'm so glad you're experiencing more freedom, even if it comes with difficulties. Love your life boogie! (:
I’ll be honest here: the best thing you do is these “rambling” videos. As much as I enjoy your commentary on the gaming industry, this is your best, most real material you produce. All that coming from someone who hates vlogs and believes they are for the most part done to feed the vloggers’ own vanity. You get honest without the self-exploitation bs that others put in these type of videos and you provide a purpose as to why your share your life with the rest of us. In addition, these videos appear therapeutic in nature which adds to your integrity. As a side note, I don’t think you need to feel bad nor apologize for not sharing your divorce immediately when it happened or as things felt like they were falling apart. You get to share what you want when you want or when you think it’s appropriate. You did the right thing for waiting to share that part of your life. You look to be doing as well or better than anyone could with all these things going on in your life. Keep moving forward and helping people including myself. Thanks for being real.

Goldenfuzzy threats against his life remember? I don’t blame him for having one if that’s not a prop.

What’s wrong with having a gun?
MaggardTV for someone with severe depression and anxiety it doesn't bode well😂
Guns + Depression / Anger / Anxiety isn't the best combo.
Hey man it’s def a lot of overwhelming stuff and it’s def a rough time but we all know you’ve got it!! Stay strong and keep it up!!
I had a video of yours recommended to me. As you know if you read my comments, I've kept up with you for quite some time now. I have another account, William, and have more often commented on your vids with that one as it is usually the one I am logged into while doing YT stuffz. (This account that I'm posting now is primarily for making vids, rather than watching them, LOL) I was shocked that the video recommended was so old. But glad, also. I needed to see it. One of yours I had missed.
Normally, I would tell you thank you for the encouragement the video gives to us morbidly obese people. I am not going to do that this time. What I have to say is for you, not me. I feel it's something you need right now, and I feel it will do you good to hear it.
Boogie...I am SO god damn proud of you!! :) Never look back, but always remember. This is Big Bastard, signing out. **Salutes**
I also have an anxiety disorder Boogie, I completely understand the struggle. People definitely don't understand that you can have moments of happiness and it doesn't represent your whole being. But I am praying for you brother, keep on moving!
WE LOVE YOU BOOGIE! Keep focusing on the positives!
I love your videos so much. I went thru a divorce a year ago.. It sucks. It destroyed me. I’ll never do it again. Anytime you wanna ramble I’ll listen for sure, or watch ❤️❤️❤️
Hey Boogie, regarding the lymphedema, I suffer from extreme edema, which my doctor has prescribed Lasix and potassium tablets (because you lose potassium when you urinate from the Lasix). Using a leg rest in addition to the medication regimen has helped, but I also use compression bandages on my ankles, which provides relief as well. I also had a gastric bypass, so if you'd like to talk for advice, hit me up.
WHERES MY GOD DAMN MOUNTAIN DEW???
Boogie. Facial redness is body inflammation. Happens to me too.
If I become stressed, sick, drink alcohol, etc. too many things at once I’ll have facial redness and stuffiness. And I’m well below obese. I’m actually pretty in shape.
ALSO the facial redness is common during lifestyle change. You’ll have the redness as your liver and kidney cleans itself out. It’s normal-ish. Not horrible. But take a look into AntiInflamitory foods.
And consider the redness is just a symptom of a deeper thing. Commonly your kidney and liver.
Stay strong my man
Clorox Bleach idk if you’re trolling or what seems weird seeing Bleach telling someone to stay strong
O-O
Change your account, it was never funny
Joojij owo
When even the bleach is being wholesome, much love boogie
Keep up the good work and stay strong! Regards from Australia.
Raw_Sauce 420 I subscribed to your channel
Thanks lol, I’ll sub to you too. I don’t post anything tho
Hey man, glad to see your doing well. Just went through a divorce myself this past year and I'm feeling almost the exact same sort of things that you are going through. Just wanted to let you know how much it helps to hear somebody describe the range of emotions that I'm also going though. It means a ton to know that none of is are truly alone on the journey. Thanks for what you do and take care.
You're looking a lot better boogie :D
Here's for another year and a 100 pounds less!
Keep it up dude, love you, and I'm super thankful for you helping me out with your videos about suicide about a year ago
You look AMAZING Boogie! I’m here to be encouraging! Love you man!
Jesus IsGod I like your username and bio. 👍😃
My surgery was january 3rd, and I'm down 27 pounds. you're doing great, listening to you talk about your gastric journey is amazing. thank you for sharing with us so much.

I thoroughly hope you find someone you can spend the rest of your life with.
Philly Cheesesteak me too!
Thanks for making this video. I don't have any real issues in my life right now. But had a random panic attack for the first time this month. So I'm just trying to stay positive while the after effects of the attack pass. It's been a few weeks and I just hope to feel better soon. I've never had any mental issues so I've been blessed until this point. Just have to fight on.
The most authentic/real youtuber!!! Ever !!! U a nice guy boogie!! Keep up never give up!!! God dont take things from us... he free us from them!
BOOGIE HOW CAN YOU NOT GIVE YOURSELF CREDIT FOR BEING 399LB FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE 1995?! You're bloody Superman dude, that's amazing!! Obesity is just as much of a battle as any other eating disorder! I'm rootin' for ya.
My mom has gastric bypass and she gained back 100 lbs at least after ten years I’m proud of you sweetheart but I hope you work out and keep up with it my mom had dumping syndrome for a year and got an eating disorder I know it’s ten times as much work this way but keep it up and know you deserve to be healthy we all love you and hope you keep it up you deserve it and you deserve the love!
I wish I had your support structure. I tell my family how I'm not coping and having suicidal thoughts etc and they just don't bother to contact me for weeks, and when they do finally visit they just carry on as if I sent them nothing.
Moromillas Radec same as a buddy of mine yea hes dead now
Moromillas Radec sry man
Sorry to hear this. Find a therapist or a friend you can talk to, or someone who’s actually going to listen. Hope things get better for you
Damn lol. I bet your family has their side of the story to tell also..
their side of the story what's that suppose to mean
As soon as he can walk and do laundry his wife leaves him hmmm
Siboshi ikr
Lmao
She probably figured that she take off and use that pre-nup since he was able to pay for the surgery. In her mind it is best to strike now while the iron is hot than later down the line when he has less money or something.
I just started Water Therapy, hope you can start that soon, moving in the water is so much easier. It helps my back and legs. Also... 400 pounds is a great achievement, soon you will be down to 350 and soon after to 300, won't happen right away, but you are doing very well and are well on your way to get there!! Keep it up!!
If you made it all the way to the end of this rambling video, write a comment using the word “happy” to let Boogie know you watched. :)
I love you boogie
He is my future husband lol
You wish pal, he's mine!
