Not really certain why this showed up in my algorithm, but you flat out killed it. You lost 100kg, look ten years younger and showed a realistic and honest look at the work that is needed to do this.
@@talananiyiyaya8912 because they dont understand what made them fat. normal people dont need to do all this shit. and no its not "genetics" his grandparents were not fat i bet on that.
Down from 143 to 91 in 7 months here. Only thing I changed was go for walks 30-60 minutes a day and eating less. It sure gets slower the closer you get to your weight goal. Got diagnosed with diabetes type 2 which is what prompted me to begin the weight loss and now that is in almost complete remission. I will most likely be medicine free in 2025. Really well done man. A great achievement on your part. Proud of ya.
Is doesnt even need eating less, just eating better. It's not only healthier than just eating less, but also improves your metabolism and (usually) builds muscle.
@BigSources calories in calories out. 1000 calories is 1000 calories no matter what form. When I say eat less I mean consuming less calories and you have to do that.
@@Nephalen nah, not really. If you eat better, not only will you not be hungry, but your metabolism will improve and your metabolism will naturally burn more calories per day. I don't understand how that's difficult to understand. You'll still lose weight and eat the same amount of calories. People really think starving yourself to lose weight is healthy these days...
@ 5-6 years ago I lost 50kg in 7 months, so I was losing 1.5-2kg a week. That's pretty normal if you lose weight the right weight - this is how reacts if you activate the right biological switch...
Literally thought you had 100k plus subscribers with the video and editing quality! Really good and very realistic video and congrats on your very impressive weight lose!
I'm on my own weight loss journey. I started at 210 kg about 4 months ago and am now down to around 180 kg. The progress has definitely slowed, but I’m staying focused. I haven’t set a strict timeframe, but my first goal is to reach 150 kg, then I’ll reassess. My ultimate goal is somewhere around 90-100 kg. I’m feeling great about the progress so far and making small adjustments to keep the weight moving in the right direction!
"My ultimate goal is somewhere around 90-100 kg" That's a stupid goal. Your body know exactly what your weight should be. Your goal should be to get healthy, then it will happen automatically...
I just love the fact that you acknowledged that you were pushing yourself too hard. Hitting your goals is important, but doing so healthily is even more important
don't know why this appeared in my feed, but so glad it did. I am 4 weeks and 6kg into trying to lose 40kg. I am finding it very difficult. I have learned how dependent I am on food for mood regulation. (read between the lines, not being able to eat what i want is making me quite grumpy) But your video has really inspired me to push through and keep going. Thank you.
I am the same way, food just has an innate ability to make me feel better, so not having it is infuriating! Well done though, keep pushing and you'll get there :)
I feel you guys. My go to in those moments is yoghurt (plant based if I find a yummy one) with fruits. It's sweet, I can eat a lot of yoghurt so I also get to eat a lot of volume which can help... Or a walk whenever I crave snacks in between meals 😂😂 You guys got this ❤️
Video is blowing up, congratz! 🎉 I lost 20 kgs in the last year and now I am trying to lose 10 more. Even getting 20 kgs leaner was hard, I can't imagine how hard and how changing losing 100kgs is! We'll wait for new update videos, I am currently at 100kgs and hope to meet you in 90 kgs in two months 😊
@@howhardisit yeah sure, keep us updated on what you'll do next. it can be doing exercise and putting up muscle, can be going through skin surgery, learning to keep your weight, etc. you are an inspiration to us!
Bro very inspiring 👏. I'm 2 weeks into loosing 65 kg . Your story was what I need to hear this morning. Everything going good but just feel like crap today. Thanks for pushing through. I'm sure it's helping others like me.
The fact that you managed to lose a really considerable amount of weight consistently over the months amazes me! This transformation must be of the best I have ever seen so far! It'd be really interesting to see a muscle gain on top of that too
Congrats man, this is awesome! I’ve been there, losing about 30kg in 4 months. I understand everything you went through. I’ve been stable for a couple years, while going to the gym 4 times a week. Life is so much better now…
Lived in Christchurch, NZ for a year, and the winter there was like a holiday for me (I'm from Finland) 😄I started my weight loss journey at 230kg (I'm 185cm) and am now 188kg, a long way to go but I am taking it easier than the past million times I've tried to lose before. I'm still eating good stuff, I have small portions, around 200 grams. Not all the time, but quite often still. I think for us who have lost and gained many times (but gradually grown heavier), we usually try to get to the goal fast to enjoy food again. It's a bad habit that is difficult to lose. Hopefully you can keep it off with all the new fun activities you get to do :)
Congratiulations! 100Kg is simply nuts, you look great. I love your advise at the end. I went the slow way, at the 30th of November it will be 20kg in one year. From 107kg to 87kg. But since I have been lifting all year I also gained some muscle. I think deep down everybody knows how to lose weight, it's you against yourself. There are some `hacks´, but in the end it's all you, and in your case you are one hell of a fighter!
You're a legend, mate. You should feel proud of yourself, what you have done is truly impressive! Keep it up and looking forward to the muscle update 💪
Your next video should be a muscle gaining / body recomposition video! Focusing on lifting weights as opposed to cardio will help tighten up and tone your body +boost the metabolism and make you feel even better! 😊
22:39 This made me cry a little bit. YES, what you did is extraordinary, amazing, and truly inspiring to countless people around the world today. And it says so much about the kind of person you are--the inner strength you always had. You are AMAZING and what you did is AMAZING. As many times as you need to hear it!!!!
Dude, 100kg... 10kg a month. Holy cow. You're a legend. How you managed to win the battle with our Western food distractions and lifestyle baffles me. Most people struggle with just a few kilos. You inspire so many of us. Hell, your video might even save some lives. Thanks for opening up and sharing your story, although I would love to see/hear some more about your daily routine in exercising and meals. Anyway, thank you for posting and greetings from the Netherlands!
Usually never comment and really not sure why this popped up on my feed, but this was freaking brilliant mate. Congratulations and keep at it! Unbelievably proud of you - from a stranger across the world! :)
I myself have much to lose. I'm female diabetic, 45 years old, with sleep 😴 apnea due to my weight. I need to lose 100+ kg to save myself - my children are my 'why' 💓 Thank you for showing me that it is possible to lose a lot of weight within a year - your diligence, focus & peserverance has truly inspired me🙏🏽💯 Congratulations 👏🏽 and well done
I had sleep apnea too. I assume i did anyway because i'm too subborn to get it checked, but i was frequently waking up out of breath. It was one of the "oh shit i have to get this under control" moments for me. My sleep has improved so immensely since losing the weight, i never wake up out of breath, and apparently i don't even snore anymore,
"I'm female diabetic, 45 years old, with sleep 😴 apnea due to my weight. I need to lose 100+ kg to save myself" That's exactly the wrong way!!! You need to get healthy, they you will lose weight automatically. You should start with learning, how chronically high insulin causes both, your diseases and your overweight. And you should learn how sugar and carbohydrates are the primary cause of chronically high insulin....
I'm crying happy tears for you. This transformation was not just physical, but mental and emotional as well. Congratulations 👏🎉 this was very inspiring. Thank you ❤
You mentioned how frustrated you were because your weight loss journey was interfering with your "life". AND that it is such a LONG time to commit to a goal. I totally get that. I have started over myself and at 51, it seems so so difficult. I'm slowly putting systems in place because I have told myself that I do NOT want to go back to where I was. I think what is different for me today is that I am working hard to let go of my all or nothing mentality and focusing on small goals that I can meet every day. So far, this has really been helping as I tomorrow I will have finished my 2nd 30 day movement challenge. I am working to remind myself - Consistency over perfection. Thank you for this video. This really helped me get through a valley I was experiencing today!
For anyone that needs to hear this, i went from 213lbs (94/97kg) to 189lbs (86/88kg) in 5 months. I used yoghurt/frozen fruit/granola to replace cereal/milk, and homemade cold infused tea (4 bags or 8g fresh tea to a Quart/Liter + 6/12h in fridge) to replace soda. Also started working out with 10min a week, with a goal of 3/4 days, and ended up at 30min+ 4/5 times a week.
I'm about to turn 31, and I've been gaining weight for as long as I can remember. I only successfully lost a significant amount of weight once, in my early 20s, but I gained it all back due to major lifestyle changes and becoming lazy. I'm not a tall guy-just 165 cm-and I was ashamed to see myself reach 134 kg last week. However, I've had a stable, well-paying job for the past three years, so my schedule is more predictable and maintainable, so at the end of last year, I decided it was time to put effort into myself again. After my holidays, I’ve started working on it, and I plan to re-watch this video whenever I'm feeling down, to help me stay motivated on my weight-loss journey. Thank you for posting this video, for showing us that hard work pays off, and for your honesty in sharing not just the positives but also the struggles of your journey. Your positivity means a lot. 🙂
I'm thankful I came across your video. It's so inspiring to see how you reached your goal in the end. Hopefully, that will be me one day. I'm not even hungry anymore; it's just the head hunger and my love for food that make dieting hard. But watching your video gives me motivation. Thank you so much! My goal is to lose 67 kg in a year. My starting weight is 133 kg. I have been doing keto with low-intensity workouts for 2 weeks now, and I have lost 7 kg.
I thought getting past the physical hunger would make it easier but then I started watching a bunch of cooking videos and I just love food so much! I didn't make it easy on myself 😆 Keep up the good work!
I am currently on my own journey with more realistic goals but you're truly an inspiration! I'm now 19 kgs of my 40 kg loss goal to end up in the same place you did.
First, congratulations, that’s amazing! Second, don’t hate me but I did skip around the video so sorry if you did mention this, but towards the end you mentioned not recognizing yourself, and having a hard time giving yourself credit. If you haven’t already, please consider therapy. As someone who has been overweight their whole life, with brief periods of weight loss but never being able to keep it off, it wasn’t until this year that I not only lost weight but that it feels sustainable, and I owe that to starting therapy for the first time to tackle my unhealthy relationship with food, how much it preoccupied my thoughts, and body image issues. Since starting therapy, I went from 335 to 235 lbs and getting pretty close to my goal weight. I was so obsessed with hitting my goal weight initially that I too didn’t recognize myself, and couldn’t give myself credit for the hard work I was putting in, and something finally clicked with all the work I did on my mental health where I recognized myself, I was proud of myself, and I was content. I found it removed this background layer of anxiety and I’m now enjoying the journey as I get closer to my end goals. I’m also less rigid with my train of thinking in almost all aspects. I know everyone’s journey is their own, so maybe therapy isn’t the answer for you on this specifically, but mental health is important for everyone and I’m a huge advocate for everyone to think of it on their health journey.
Glad to see this video came up in my feed. I've been getting close to hitting a rut with my weight loss, so this is very motivating to see. I was 227kg (500lb) and since August I've been losing a lot and got down to just below 200 (439). So now I just gotta do what you did!!
Great work! Losing weight is no easy feat. I am currently on day 73 of 75 hard and have lost around 32 pounds. I hope to keep this progress going over the holiday season. Keep up the good work dude!
Insanely encouraging, made me laugh out loud a couple of times, touched me as well... brilliant video, thank you so much for sharing, extremely proud of you!
You lost over 200 lbs! Wow that's incredible!! I'm on my weight loss journey and learning that it's quite difficult as you age. I'm on month 4 and so far have only lost 2 kg. this is my second time losing weight and I kept off 9kg but gained a bit so trying to get back to at least an okay weight
Absolutely amazing mate, I'm currently going through the same thing, however from coming down from 140KG, not 200KG - Losing 100KG in a year!! You should be incredibly proud, you have insane mental willpower to power through. Honestly I'm so chuffed to see you at the end, how happy you are and how healthly you look and you said you feel. Cracking job!
Your video is very inspirational Nick and I want to congratulate you for losing 100 kg in just one year! You said in the video how hard this year was and I cannot imagine losing that much weight in such short amount of time. But I think the biggest challenge in the long run is to keep the weight off. I am on a weight losing journey too and lost around 51 Kg (and have still a way to go), but I know for a fact that I have to monitor what I eat even when I reach my weight goal forever. I wish you all the best for the future, you can be proud of what you have done. I needed 1,5 years to lose 51 kg and you lost 100 kg in just one year. You have more determination thats for sure!
It IS a once in a lifetime achievement. Well done sir. I am on my journey from 160 to 100 kilos aswell. Only on a much longer (healthier?) timescale. I am at 135 kg now after a year with ups and downs aswell. Keep ad it and never forget that it is a prison you lock yourself in.
Insane dude, losing weight is nothing but consistency and honesty with our own selves. So many people live lying to themselves and sabotaging their own health. I get so happy when I see a successful story, congratulations!
Crushed it. I’ve lost 4 kg in a month and it’s been a concerted effort. Losing 10 kg a month is monumental. The psychological strength you’ve got is awesome. Huge respect, after leaving Wellington for Australia I’m lucky enough to have it melt off. Great attitude bloke. Keep up the MTBing.
I'm a woman that is quite short (160cm).I put weight on trough 2 pregnancys. I only need to lose around 20kg, I'm down 7kg and I'm already so happy about it (in 3.5 months). And I'm proud of myself. So I'm hoping to get down the other 13kg in 2025. I'm so impressed about your journey and the mindset it took. I'm still trying to eat Kalorie dense food oder treats once in a while, so I'm not craving it. I try to eat 80% 'healthy' food. I'm enjoying my 20%way more then before. Also I stopped craving sweets (I couldn't stop eating before, now I just take one pice and it's fine.) Try to finde a good mix, so you can stay consistent. Good luck with the loose skin and building muscle, I wish you good results! You deserve it!
This video was exactly what I needed to see/hear. You’ve done amazingly well. Well done. I’m 6’3 160kg, carrying weight in similar spots. I got to make a change too. Thank you for inspiring me.
Congratulations sir. Give yourself the well deserved pat on the back for setting your goals and seeing it through. You look much better and happier in the end. Well done. Keep up the good work. Would love to see some updates later on to see how you’re doing. Much love brother
This video was insanely inspirational! I’ve put on 20kg due to a hormonal conditional called PCOS and sometimes it can feel impossible because it feels like hormones are constantly working against you. But this was so inspirational to see - you should be so insanely proud of yourself
I rarely comment, but I'm truly impressed by your journey, honesty, and the amazing quality of this video. You deserve a million subs, easy. Good luck and congratulations!
Wow, I’m truly impressed! Losing 100 kilograms in just one year is an incredible achievement. Your determination and commitment are genuinely inspiring, and I loved the video of you documenting the journey.
Firstly, congratulations! What an achievement, I’m so glad you got through it and helped yourself live. Secondly, thank you. As I type this I am exactly where you were a year ago, over 400lbs and - as you described it so well - feeling like a prisoner. My motivation has been through the floor this past year and I’m just packing more weight on with sad/stress/any and all feelings binge eating. Even a health scare in the summer hasn’t bucked my ideas up… However it’s constantly on my mind and your video randomly popping up has steeled my resolve to start today, no matter how small. Lots of love to you, thank you for sharing and I hope life gives you so many blessings x
The editing/production and your on-camera presence is so good that this video completely blew me away, AMAZING work on the video and on actually losing the weight!
This is phenomenal! Losing 100 kg in a year is definitely an achievement to flex anytime. It seems like you have a good trigger to start your weight loss journey as well, especially for your family and fashion lol. In my case, I weighted around 120 kg in the past as I love eating so much. My weight didn't bother me too much but I always thought that it would be nice to lose some and find better-fitting clothes easier. However, the trigger for my weight loss journey was when I got laid off last September. I was left devastated and did not know what to do. At first all I did was looking for a new job which was like waiting for God's miracle. I was so stressed and depressed but I remembered that I paid for a 1-year gym membership when I still had a job but almost never used it before as I was lazy. That was when I started to do diet on November. I constantly looking for jobs, dieting, and working out at the same time for the past 2 months and a half and now I am finally at 95 kg (from 120)! Weight loss become a stress reliever to remind myself that there is still something I can control and see the result of my effort. I will continue the diet and work my way up until 80 kg, then find a lifestyle that can sustain that weight. Wish me luck in both job hunting and dieting!
That's so rough, I've been laid off and it's such a gut punch, especially when it comes out of nowhere. Finding a way to turn that into a positive change for your health is so impressive, keep it up!
Nice work man! I've been going through a similar transformation, albeit a little slower. I'm a short guy standing at 5'4" starting at 284lb (~128kg). I've gotten down to 173lb (~78kg) since July of 2023. All done with diet and exercise, didn't want to go the route of surgery or medications unless absolutely necessary, and so far I'm finding that it hasn't been necessary.
I lost 80 lbs in a year. What I tell people is it was the hardest thing I've ever done, but it was so much easier than I made it out to be. Like you said, the information out there is all over the place. I thought I needed to join a gym, and start some crazy diet, or get on medication. When in reality all I had to do was take a long, hard look at my eating habits and cut certain foods out and form new healthy eating habits. I totally related to everything you said. Suddenly I felt like there were so many activities that were available to me. Going to concerts, zip lining, riding a helicopter, and holding my growing children all felt like things that were not available to me before but now they are. It's been a year since I lost the weight and I still double take in the mirrors often. And just like you the version of me I see in the mirror now is how I think I always saw myself. I don't recognize the old me in those pictures. I lost my 80 lbs all through diet and little exercise. The following year I started doing weight training and maintaining my weight and my body has recompositioned during this last year. I felt I had some loose skin too and working out has definitely improved that for me, I'm sure it'll work for you too. Be proud of the work you've done to improve your life. Looking forward to How Hard Is It to maintain weight loss over a year! You can do it!
That's awesome, the freedom you gain after something like that is lifechanging. I didn't talk about it much in the video but being healthy enough to do things with my kid, and be a good influence for him, is super important. Thanks for the encouragement, I'll do my best for the follow up!
Your overweight body looks exactly like mine, bro! 😭 I am really trying and it is hard to stay consistent but I will always keep trying. Thanks for the inspiration 🥹 🙏
Very inspiring. Good work. I hope you'll find and maintain a healthy ongoing rhythm that will take you forward from here. I'm on my own weight and fitness journey and seeing yours was a real boost. Thank you!
I dont think many understand the mental fortitude it required to accomplish what you did whilst living with mince and cheese pies available on every corner of the country
You’re a beast. I’ve lost and put on weight so many times in my life but recently I crept up to my heaviest and unhappiest. I’m back on a diet and I am determined to get to my target weight. So far it’s going well. Once I get there I want to figure out how to keep it off.
Congratulations, very impressing weight loss, almost 2 kilos/week for a whole year! I really liked the part where you talk about things that you can now can do (15:27), that is something to compare all the restrictions to. You look like you have a lot more energy now.
I'm doing this journey too... started 154kg... currently at 135kg... It's not being easy... it's frustrating at some points... but your journey just gives me more strength to do out... I hope I'll also get below 100kg at my 1st year anniversary of the journey... Thanks for sharing 💪
Congrats on your well-earned achievement! I like how you talk about the emotional parts of your journey. I know not everyone can get access, but seeing a psychologist/counsellor during any major life change can be helpful. Esp if food is a major way you get joy and fun out of life, the idea of changing that forever is massive! Tnx for sharing your experience
Wow man great job! Incredible job. You changed your life! Most people with that issue could never make that change, even over a much longer period of time. 🎉
It's so cool that you documented this process and shared it with the world (and I really love the editing). I have my own complicated feelings around body image so I generally never mention people's weight loss in case it's complicated for them too, but I think now I can safely say that you are looking amazing and you should be so proud of yourself.
It is such a hard topic to navigate, the range of emotions that come up while talking about it vary wildly and don't make any sense to me! Thank you though, I appreciate it :)
hi mate, just want to say not only congratulations on going through such a rigorous weight loss journey, but also for putting together this video. You have a really laid back, almost meditative delivery style that is just chill to watch. And I liked all the editing quirks too, just seems like you had fun with it and really cared about making it. Well anyway thanks and I look forward to watching more of your videos. Peace from the UK!
Congrats, I"m losing too, but taking it slow. I'm down 22kg this year and 9% body fat. I've done it fast before and gained it back, so I'm trying to gain muscle and doing a 3 months on, 1-2 months maintaining. I'm down to the lightest I've been in 12 years. The downsides are frustrating though, people are much nicer, which makes me angry. It's hard to tell how clothes fit day to day. What's been interesting is to walk into nicer clothing shops, before and now. One, they were super gentle and helpful and pulled the relaxed fit things they could find and will be getting some business later. The other said "nothing we have will fit you" when I was looking for a hoodie before so they're out. But I swam 2km easily the other day and can bench press 80kg now so I'm getting there. The loss of comfort foods is tough too. Fatty foods don't really taste good anymore to me. But on the whole it's been positive.
@ part of it is just realizing that the hard part isn’t over. Maintenance is just as challenging, if not more so. I’ve lost this much before, but always got derailed after. I’m trying to build maintenance in this time to have a plan ready and practice doing it.
@@kirschkonfekt Definitely, I'm moving better, my joints don't hurt, I'm so much stronger than I was and have an insane amount of endurance, I'm off of all medications except for my ADHD ones. I've found a level of discipline that I needed to keep going. As someone else said, "Being heavy is hard, getting in shape is hard, you pick your hard." But the constant weight loss plays hell with my sensory issues. I'm happy with it and keeping going but significant weight loss is very rough in a way that's rarely discussed. After I'm done I'm sure it'll take another year for my body to feel like 'me" again.
Amazing work. The mental side of managing a long term healthy diet is not something to underestimate, there are reasons you got that big, many people lose weight then gain it back, because they don't address it. I'm 92kg trying to lose at least 10kg more. Its crazy how you managed that every month. I'm just focused on trying to maintain a calory deficit, and improving my 5k run times, but much slower progress then you.
Not really certain why this showed up in my algorithm, but you flat out killed it. You lost 100kg, look ten years younger and showed a realistic and honest look at the work that is needed to do this.
TH-cam works in mysterious ways!
The wild part is most people who lose this much weight regain it within a decade (Like literally 99%+ of all people)

Wow. You’ve probably added another 10-20 years to your life - who knows. Terrific effort well done my man.

More like 40 😊
Down from 143 to 91 in 7 months here. Only thing I changed was go for walks 30-60 minutes a day and eating less. It sure gets slower the closer you get to your weight goal.
Got diagnosed with diabetes type 2 which is what prompted me to begin the weight loss and now that is in almost complete remission. I will most likely be medicine free in 2025.
Really well done man. A great achievement on your part. Proud of ya.

I'm on my own weight loss journey. I started at 210 kg about 4 months ago and am now down to around 180 kg. The progress has definitely slowed, but I’m staying focused. I haven’t set a strict timeframe, but my first goal is to reach 150 kg, then I’ll reassess. My ultimate goal is somewhere around 90-100 kg. I’m feeling great about the progress so far and making small adjustments to keep the weight moving in the right direction!
That's great progress! The slowing down is frustrating but you'll get there
Man, when you hit the 90ks mark and people stop labelling you as fat you just feel on top of the world! Keep on my man I'm proud of you!
"My ultimate goal is somewhere around 90-100 kg"
That's a stupid goal. Your body know exactly what your weight should be. Your goal should be to get healthy, then it will happen automatically...
We have the same starting weight, I'm still motivated and doing my exercise on recumbent bike and following adrian bryants video.
Hi Nic
So proud of you
I am a friend of your parents and knew you as a young lad in Dunedin
Keep up the good work. You’re worth it.
I just love the fact that you acknowledged that you were pushing yourself too hard. Hitting your goals is important, but doing so healthily is even more important
don't know why this appeared in my feed, but so glad it did. I am 4 weeks and 6kg into trying to lose 40kg. I am finding it very difficult. I have learned how dependent I am on food for mood regulation. (read between the lines, not being able to eat what i want is making me quite grumpy) But your video has really inspired me to push through and keep going. Thank you.
I am the same way, food just has an innate ability to make me feel better, so not having it is infuriating! Well done though, keep pushing and you'll get there :)
Keep it up, random stranger, I believe in you!
Your phone is a stalker and knows everything. 😂 Food is difficult. I’ve even quit alcohol and eating out and still struggle with calorie intake. 😞
Yes I can relate very much to this, food regulates me toO
I feel you guys. My go to in those moments is yoghurt (plant based if I find a yummy one) with fruits. It's sweet, I can eat a lot of yoghurt so I also get to eat a lot of volume which can help... Or a walk whenever I crave snacks in between meals 😂😂
You guys got this ❤️
losing 100kg is crazy! it's kinda like you put down TWO people that you were carrying on your back! I'm so happy for you!
Video is blowing up, congratz! 🎉
I lost 20 kgs in the last year and now I am trying to lose 10 more. Even getting 20 kgs leaner was hard, I can't imagine how hard and how changing losing 100kgs is!
We'll wait for new update videos, I am currently at 100kgs and hope to meet you in 90 kgs in two months 😊
Thanks man, I might take a bit longer than that to get there now I've calmed down but soon!
@@howhardisit yeah sure, keep us updated on what you'll do next. it can be doing exercise and putting up muscle, can be going through skin surgery, learning to keep your weight, etc.
you are an inspiration to us!
I hope you achieve your goal of 10 more kg. Keep it up!
awesome
hey man how did it go so far? And also awesome progress so far!
Bro very inspiring 👏. I'm 2 weeks into loosing 65 kg . Your story was what I need to hear this morning. Everything going good but just feel like crap today. Thanks for pushing through. I'm sure it's helping others like me.
My dude, your will power was forged in the flames of Mordor. That is INSANE. Congratulations, and I wish you the best in life !
Wow your results are truly amazing! Loosing 10kg is very hard, I can’t imagine what will power it takes to lose 100kg.
The fact that you managed to lose a really considerable amount of weight consistently over the months amazes me! This transformation must be of the best I have ever seen so far!
It'd be really interesting to see a muscle gain on top of that too
What an absolute fucking inspiration you are man. Sad part is the battle never ends now, good luck keeping it up and keeping it off.
Congrats man, this is awesome! I’ve been there, losing about 30kg in 4 months. I understand everything you went through. I’ve been stable for a couple years, while going to the gym 4 times a week. Life is so much better now…
Lived in Christchurch, NZ for a year, and the winter there was like a holiday for me (I'm from Finland) 😄I started my weight loss journey at 230kg (I'm 185cm) and am now 188kg, a long way to go but I am taking it easier than the past million times I've tried to lose before. I'm still eating good stuff, I have small portions, around 200 grams. Not all the time, but quite often still. I think for us who have lost and gained many times (but gradually grown heavier), we usually try to get to the goal fast to enjoy food again. It's a bad habit that is difficult to lose. Hopefully you can keep it off with all the new fun activities you get to do :)
I think TH-cam is broken. I was only able to hit the like button once. Oh well. Super inspiring video. Well Done Sir
Congratiulations! 100Kg is simply nuts, you look great.
I love your advise at the end. I went the slow way, at the 30th of November it will be 20kg in one year. From 107kg to 87kg. But since I have been lifting all year I also gained some muscle. I think deep down everybody knows how to lose weight, it's you against yourself. There are some `hacks´, but in the end it's all you, and in your case you are one hell of a fighter!
You're a legend, mate. You should feel proud of yourself, what you have done is truly impressive! Keep it up and looking forward to the muscle update 💪
Your next video should be a muscle gaining / body recomposition video! Focusing on lifting weights as opposed to cardio will help tighten up and tone your body +boost the metabolism and make you feel even better! 😊
This is incredible. I am in awe. I am clocking 145kg now and this has been so eye opening and motivating.
22:39 This made me cry a little bit. YES, what you did is extraordinary, amazing, and truly inspiring to countless people around the world today. And it says so much about the kind of person you are--the inner strength you always had. You are AMAZING and what you did is AMAZING. As many times as you need to hear it!!!!
Dude, 100kg... 10kg a month. Holy cow. You're a legend. How you managed to win the battle with our Western food distractions and lifestyle baffles me. Most people struggle with just a few kilos.
You inspire so many of us. Hell, your video might even save some lives. Thanks for opening up and sharing your story, although I would love to see/hear some more about your daily routine in exercising and meals.
Anyway, thank you for posting and greetings from the Netherlands!
Usually never comment and really not sure why this popped up on my feed, but this was freaking brilliant mate. Congratulations and keep at it! Unbelievably proud of you - from a stranger across the world! :)
I myself have much to lose. I'm female diabetic, 45 years old, with sleep 😴 apnea due to my weight. I need to lose 100+ kg to save myself - my children are my 'why' 💓 Thank you for showing me that it is possible to lose a lot of weight within a year - your diligence, focus & peserverance has truly inspired me🙏🏽💯 Congratulations 👏🏽 and well done
Please give the Carnivore diet a try?
I had sleep apnea too. I assume i did anyway because i'm too subborn to get it checked, but i was frequently waking up out of breath. It was one of the "oh shit i have to get this under control" moments for me. My sleep has improved so immensely since losing the weight, i never wake up out of breath, and apparently i don't even snore anymore,
Good luck, keep at it! Don't let this comment go to waste!
"I'm female diabetic, 45 years old, with sleep 😴 apnea due to my weight. I need to lose 100+ kg to save myself"
That's exactly the wrong way!!!
You need to get healthy, they you will lose weight automatically.
You should start with learning, how chronically high insulin causes both, your diseases and your overweight.
And you should learn how sugar and carbohydrates are the primary cause of chronically high insulin....
I'm crying happy tears for you. This transformation was not just physical, but mental and emotional as well. Congratulations 👏🎉 this was very inspiring. Thank you ❤
You mentioned how frustrated you were because your weight loss journey was interfering with your "life". AND that it is such a LONG time to commit to a goal. I totally get that. I have started over myself and at 51, it seems so so difficult. I'm slowly putting systems in place because I have told myself that I do NOT want to go back to where I was. I think what is different for me today is that I am working hard to let go of my all or nothing mentality and focusing on small goals that I can meet every day. So far, this has really been helping as I tomorrow I will have finished my 2nd 30 day movement challenge. I am working to remind myself - Consistency over perfection. Thank you for this video. This really helped me get through a valley I was experiencing today!
The idea of going back scares me, it's not something I think I can do again, I definitely need to find a healthy way to approach each day
For anyone that needs to hear this, i went from 213lbs (94/97kg) to 189lbs (86/88kg) in 5 months.
I used yoghurt/frozen fruit/granola to replace cereal/milk, and homemade cold infused tea (4 bags or 8g fresh tea to a Quart/Liter + 6/12h in fridge) to replace soda.
Also started working out with 10min a week, with a goal of 3/4 days, and ended up at 30min+ 4/5 times a week.
I'm about to turn 31, and I've been gaining weight for as long as I can remember. I only successfully lost a significant amount of weight once, in my early 20s, but I gained it all back due to major lifestyle changes and becoming lazy. I'm not a tall guy-just 165 cm-and I was ashamed to see myself reach 134 kg last week.
However, I've had a stable, well-paying job for the past three years, so my schedule is more predictable and maintainable, so at the end of last year, I decided it was time to put effort into myself again. After my holidays, I’ve started working on it, and I plan to re-watch this video whenever I'm feeling down, to help me stay motivated on my weight-loss journey.
Thank you for posting this video, for showing us that hard work pays off, and for your honesty in sharing not just the positives but also the struggles of your journey. Your positivity means a lot. 🙂
Sounds like we had a very similar journey, hope it turns out well!
Well done, this is a massive achievement. Thank you for sharing this !!
I'm thankful I came across your video. It's so inspiring to see how you reached your goal in the end. Hopefully, that will be me one day. I'm not even hungry anymore; it's just the head hunger and my love for food that make dieting hard. But watching your video gives me motivation. Thank you so much!
My goal is to lose 67 kg in a year. My starting weight is 133 kg. I have been doing keto with low-intensity workouts for 2 weeks now, and I have lost 7 kg.
I thought getting past the physical hunger would make it easier but then I started watching a bunch of cooking videos and I just love food so much! I didn't make it easy on myself 😆 Keep up the good work!
I am currently on my own journey with more realistic goals but you're truly an inspiration! I'm now 19 kgs of my 40 kg loss goal to end up in the same place you did.
First, congratulations, that’s amazing! Second, don’t hate me but I did skip around the video so sorry if you did mention this, but towards the end you mentioned not recognizing yourself, and having a hard time giving yourself credit. If you haven’t already, please consider therapy.
As someone who has been overweight their whole life, with brief periods of weight loss but never being able to keep it off, it wasn’t until this year that I not only lost weight but that it feels sustainable, and I owe that to starting therapy for the first time to tackle my unhealthy relationship with food, how much it preoccupied my thoughts, and body image issues.
Since starting therapy, I went from 335 to 235 lbs and getting pretty close to my goal weight. I was so obsessed with hitting my goal weight initially that I too didn’t recognize myself, and couldn’t give myself credit for the hard work I was putting in, and something finally clicked with all the work I did on my mental health where I recognized myself, I was proud of myself, and I was content. I found it removed this background layer of anxiety and I’m now enjoying the journey as I get closer to my end goals. I’m also less rigid with my train of thinking in almost all aspects.
I know everyone’s journey is their own, so maybe therapy isn’t the answer for you on this specifically, but mental health is important for everyone and I’m a huge advocate for everyone to think of it on their health journey.
Glad to see this video came up in my feed. I've been getting close to hitting a rut with my weight loss, so this is very motivating to see. I was 227kg (500lb) and since August I've been losing a lot and got down to just below 200 (439). So now I just gotta do what you did!!
Well done so far, keep up the good work, but don't go too hard, take it slow
You absolutely soared to your goals; well done! I love seeing authentic, genuine experiences like this online!
Self-discipline is apparent in your appearance. Proud of you!
Great work! Losing weight is no easy feat. I am currently on day 73 of 75 hard and have lost around 32 pounds. I hope to keep this progress going over the holiday season. Keep up the good work dude!
Thanks, sounds like you're making great progress too, keep it up!
Insanely encouraging, made me laugh out loud a couple of times, touched me as well... brilliant video, thank you so much for sharing, extremely proud of you!
You lost over 200 lbs! Wow that's incredible!! I'm on my weight loss journey and learning that it's quite difficult as you age. I'm on month 4 and so far have only lost 2 kg. this is my second time losing weight and I kept off 9kg but gained a bit so trying to get back to at least an okay weight
Absolutely amazing mate, I'm currently going through the same thing, however from coming down from 140KG, not 200KG - Losing 100KG in a year!! You should be incredibly proud, you have insane mental willpower to power through. Honestly I'm so chuffed to see you at the end, how happy you are and how healthly you look and you said you feel. Cracking job!
Your video is very inspirational Nick and I want to congratulate you for losing 100 kg in just one year! You said in the video how hard this year was and I cannot imagine losing that much weight in such short amount of time. But I think the biggest challenge in the long run is to keep the weight off. I am on a weight losing journey too and lost around 51 Kg (and have still a way to go), but I know for a fact that I have to monitor what I eat even when I reach my weight goal forever. I wish you all the best for the future, you can be proud of what you have done. I needed 1,5 years to lose 51 kg and you lost 100 kg in just one year. You have more determination thats for sure!
Absolutely outstanding work in doing this in a year. I have just starting looking at losing approximately 40Kgs and this was a great video to watch.
I’m on my own weight loss journey. Need to loose around 40-50 kgs. You have really motivated me! Thanks for sharing this video. You look amazing!
Good for you man! Been watching a lot of these challenge yourself type videos and they give me a little more motivation with what I’m doing !
It IS a once in a lifetime achievement. Well done sir.
I am on my journey from 160 to 100 kilos aswell. Only on a much longer (healthier?) timescale. I am at 135 kg now after a year with ups and downs aswell.
Keep ad it and never forget that it is a prison you lock yourself in.
Insane dude, losing weight is nothing but consistency and honesty with our own selves. So many people live lying to themselves and sabotaging their own health. I get so happy when I see a successful story, congratulations!
Crushed it. I’ve lost 4 kg in a month and it’s been a concerted effort. Losing 10 kg a month is monumental. The psychological strength you’ve got is awesome. Huge respect, after leaving Wellington for Australia I’m lucky enough to have it melt off. Great attitude bloke. Keep up the MTBing.
The Australian heat is enough motivation to not have the extra insulation! I'm never giving up the biking as long as I can help it, I'm hooked
Your video randomly popped in my feed, glad it did. Love the honesty and the real journey. Big W my guy.
I'm a woman that is quite short (160cm).I put weight on trough 2 pregnancys. I only need to lose around 20kg, I'm down 7kg and I'm already so happy about it (in 3.5 months). And I'm proud of myself.
So I'm hoping to get down the other 13kg in 2025.
I'm so impressed about your journey and the mindset it took.
I'm still trying to eat Kalorie dense food oder treats once in a while, so I'm not craving it. I try to eat 80% 'healthy' food. I'm enjoying my 20%way more then before. Also I stopped craving sweets (I couldn't stop eating before, now I just take one pice and it's fine.)
Try to finde a good mix, so you can stay consistent. Good luck with the loose skin and building muscle, I wish you good results! You deserve it!
Wow mate. Such an inspiration, I have never heard of you, but I truly hope that you keep feeling great. Take care mate.
Bro you killing it. Hugh respect also for staying consistent in filming the process
This video was exactly what I needed to see/hear. You’ve done amazingly well. Well done. I’m 6’3 160kg, carrying weight in similar spots. I got to make a change too. Thank you for inspiring me.
Super fucking insane bro! Thats some crazy tenacity.
Congratulations sir. Give yourself the well deserved pat on the back for setting your goals and seeing it through. You look much better and happier in the end. Well done. Keep up the good work. Would love to see some updates later on to see how you’re doing. Much love brother
This video was insanely inspirational! I’ve put on 20kg due to a hormonal conditional called PCOS and sometimes it can feel impossible because it feels like hormones are constantly working against you. But this was so inspirational to see - you should be so insanely proud of yourself
PCOS sounds incredibly challenging, for weight and anything physically demanding, I hope you can get to a point you're happy with.
Huge congratulations, keep pushing mate!
Loving the realness in this video👏🏽 Great job and sticking with it 🎉
thats amazing work, your 11 month update really hit the spot, even simple things like clothes are such a joy.
I rarely comment, but I'm truly impressed by your journey, honesty, and the amazing quality of this video. You deserve a million subs, easy. Good luck and congratulations!
Well done! Happy for you!
Well done you absolutely crushed it. You really did do something amazing and it’ll change your life. Well done that man !
This by far is the greatest and most inspiring weight loss video I have seen on TH-cam so far. Man you are a beast ❗️
Wow, I’m truly impressed! Losing 100 kilograms in just one year is an incredible achievement. Your determination and commitment are genuinely inspiring, and I loved the video of you documenting the journey.
Congratulations, what a big difference from then and now. Great video for motivation.
Firstly, congratulations! What an achievement, I’m so glad you got through it and helped yourself live.
Secondly, thank you. As I type this I am exactly where you were a year ago, over 400lbs and - as you described it so well - feeling like a prisoner. My motivation has been through the floor this past year and I’m just packing more weight on with sad/stress/any and all feelings binge eating. Even a health scare in the summer hasn’t bucked my ideas up… However it’s constantly on my mind and your video randomly popping up has steeled my resolve to start today, no matter how small. Lots of love to you, thank you for sharing and I hope life gives you so many blessings x
I hope it goes well, it doesn't have to be crazy either, just small steps and you'll get there :)
The editing/production and your on-camera presence is so good that this video completely blew me away, AMAZING work on the video and on actually losing the weight!
This is really inspiring in many ways. Congratulations on setting up your goal, sticking to it, and coming out on top.
This is phenomenal! Losing 100 kg in a year is definitely an achievement to flex anytime. It seems like you have a good trigger to start your weight loss journey as well, especially for your family and fashion lol.
In my case, I weighted around 120 kg in the past as I love eating so much. My weight didn't bother me too much but I always thought that it would be nice to lose some and find better-fitting clothes easier. However, the trigger for my weight loss journey was when I got laid off last September. I was left devastated and did not know what to do. At first all I did was looking for a new job which was like waiting for God's miracle. I was so stressed and depressed but I remembered that I paid for a 1-year gym membership when I still had a job but almost never used it before as I was lazy. That was when I started to do diet on November.
I constantly looking for jobs, dieting, and working out at the same time for the past 2 months and a half and now I am finally at 95 kg (from 120)! Weight loss become a stress reliever to remind myself that there is still something I can control and see the result of my effort. I will continue the diet and work my way up until 80 kg, then find a lifestyle that can sustain that weight. Wish me luck in both job hunting and dieting!
That's so rough, I've been laid off and it's such a gut punch, especially when it comes out of nowhere. Finding a way to turn that into a positive change for your health is so impressive, keep it up!
Nice work man! I've been going through a similar transformation, albeit a little slower. I'm a short guy standing at 5'4" starting at 284lb (~128kg). I've gotten down to 173lb (~78kg) since July of 2023. All done with diet and exercise, didn't want to go the route of surgery or medications unless absolutely necessary, and so far I'm finding that it hasn't been necessary.
Well done man, I had a similar mentality and I'm glad I stuck with it!
Total congratulations.
I lost 80 lbs in a year. What I tell people is it was the hardest thing I've ever done, but it was so much easier than I made it out to be. Like you said, the information out there is all over the place. I thought I needed to join a gym, and start some crazy diet, or get on medication. When in reality all I had to do was take a long, hard look at my eating habits and cut certain foods out and form new healthy eating habits. I totally related to everything you said. Suddenly I felt like there were so many activities that were available to me. Going to concerts, zip lining, riding a helicopter, and holding my growing children all felt like things that were not available to me before but now they are. It's been a year since I lost the weight and I still double take in the mirrors often. And just like you the version of me I see in the mirror now is how I think I always saw myself. I don't recognize the old me in those pictures. I lost my 80 lbs all through diet and little exercise. The following year I started doing weight training and maintaining my weight and my body has recompositioned during this last year. I felt I had some loose skin too and working out has definitely improved that for me, I'm sure it'll work for you too. Be proud of the work you've done to improve your life. Looking forward to How Hard Is It to maintain weight loss over a year! You can do it!
That's awesome, the freedom you gain after something like that is lifechanging. I didn't talk about it much in the video but being healthy enough to do things with my kid, and be a good influence for him, is super important. Thanks for the encouragement, I'll do my best for the follow up!
Your overweight body looks exactly like mine, bro! 😭
I am really trying and it is hard to stay consistent but I will always keep trying. Thanks for the inspiration 🥹 🙏
I hope you come back with more vids man, it's awesome to see someone relatable put out something so cool. Congrats on the transformation.
Very inspiring. Good work.
I hope you'll find and maintain a healthy ongoing rhythm that will take you forward from here.
I'm on my own weight and fitness journey and seeing yours was a real boost. Thank you!
I dont think many understand the mental fortitude it required to accomplish what you did whilst living with mince and cheese pies available on every corner of the country
Genuinely, not eating pies was the most difficult part of the year!
Legend mate, really enjoyed the vid, awesome work with your health!
congratulations, very inspiring. i must say the editing and timing of the video is on point
Wow! What a success. Congrats! You’re kicking ass. 💪
Impressive and inspiring consistent work and progress. Well done.
Well done, bro. You have my respect. You just gave me a lot of motivation. My hats off to you. 👏👏👏👏
Brilliant story telling!! 👏👏👏👏
You’re a beast. I’ve lost and put on weight so many times in my life but recently I crept up to my heaviest and unhappiest. I’m back on a diet and I am determined to get to my target weight. So far it’s going well. Once I get there I want to figure out how to keep it off.
Congratulations, very impressing weight loss, almost 2 kilos/week for a whole year! I really liked the part where you talk about things that you can now can do (15:27), that is something to compare all the restrictions to. You look like you have a lot more energy now.
I'm doing this journey too... started 154kg... currently at 135kg...
It's not being easy... it's frustrating at some points... but your journey just gives me more strength to do out... I hope I'll also get below 100kg at my 1st year anniversary of the journey...
Thanks for sharing 💪
this video couldn't have come at a better time! well done and congratulations on getting your life back!
An AMAZING achievement!!! BE BOLD and BE PROUD! Treat yourself to a new wardrobe, good incentive to keep the weight off! Well done@!
Great Job! What a motivation you are. Thanks for this video!
Congrats on your well-earned achievement! I like how you talk about the emotional parts of your journey. I know not everyone can get access, but seeing a psychologist/counsellor during any major life change can be helpful. Esp if food is a major way you get joy and fun out of life, the idea of changing that forever is massive! Tnx for sharing your experience
Oh my goodness, your transformation is incredible!!
Wow man great job! Incredible job. You changed your life! Most people with that issue could never make that change, even over a much longer period of time. 🎉
It's so cool that you documented this process and shared it with the world (and I really love the editing). I have my own complicated feelings around body image so I generally never mention people's weight loss in case it's complicated for them too, but I think now I can safely say that you are looking amazing and you should be so proud of yourself.
It is such a hard topic to navigate, the range of emotions that come up while talking about it vary wildly and don't make any sense to me! Thank you though, I appreciate it :)
hi mate, just want to say not only congratulations on going through such a rigorous weight loss journey, but also for putting together this video. You have a really laid back, almost meditative delivery style that is just chill to watch. And I liked all the editing quirks too, just seems like you had fun with it and really cared about making it. Well anyway thanks and I look forward to watching more of your videos.
Peace from the UK!
Congrats, I"m losing too, but taking it slow. I'm down 22kg this year and 9% body fat. I've done it fast before and gained it back, so I'm trying to gain muscle and doing a 3 months on, 1-2 months maintaining. I'm down to the lightest I've been in 12 years. The downsides are frustrating though, people are much nicer, which makes me angry. It's hard to tell how clothes fit day to day. What's been interesting is to walk into nicer clothing shops, before and now. One, they were super gentle and helpful and pulled the relaxed fit things they could find and will be getting some business later. The other said "nothing we have will fit you" when I was looking for a hoodie before so they're out. But I swam 2km easily the other day and can bench press 80kg now so I'm getting there. The loss of comfort foods is tough too. Fatty foods don't really taste good anymore to me. But on the whole it's been positive.
Slow is the right choice, I'm worried about gaining it all back and so far I'm doing okay, and after this I'd like to think my resolve is good enough!
@ part of it is just realizing that the hard part isn’t over. Maintenance is just as challenging, if not more so. I’ve lost this much before, but always got derailed after. I’m trying to build maintenance in this time to have a plan ready and practice doing it.
I hope between all your mentioned "downsides" you can see the positive effects and keep it up
@@kirschkonfekt Definitely, I'm moving better, my joints don't hurt, I'm so much stronger than I was and have an insane amount of endurance, I'm off of all medications except for my ADHD ones. I've found a level of discipline that I needed to keep going. As someone else said, "Being heavy is hard, getting in shape is hard, you pick your hard." But the constant weight loss plays hell with my sensory issues. I'm happy with it and keeping going but significant weight loss is very rough in a way that's rarely discussed. After I'm done I'm sure it'll take another year for my body to feel like 'me" again.
What you said about the clothes was spot on. Many stores have big & tall sections but they should really call them big or tall. Some of us need both.😂
Amazing work. The mental side of managing a long term healthy diet is not something to underestimate, there are reasons you got that big, many people lose weight then gain it back, because they don't address it. I'm 92kg trying to lose at least 10kg more. Its crazy how you managed that every month. I'm just focused on trying to maintain a calory deficit, and improving my 5k run times, but much slower progress then you.
Well done. You look so happy!
