DON'T DATE WHILE LOSING WEIGHT - HERE'S 4 MAJOR REASONS WHY 

Check out his 12-week transformation. Seriously, feed your MIND with MORE THAN JUST HIS VIDEOS. The videos are like stretching your body... his products are the dumbbells and treadmill

I would go on further to state that not only on a weight loss journey but any transforming endeavour which will need your 100% to level up.

It comes down to discipline if the person your dating doesn’t respect your weight loss journey cut them lose

This does not only apply to dating either. That is one aspect. Even hanging out with the same people will hold you back. I say it based off my experience. Imagine trying to lose weight while your friends always eating around you or inviting you to eat and drink ?

Persons should know this , your energy should be focused on loosing the weight , dating takes a lot of your energy

I lose 120 pounds in 7 months. I need to lose 80 more pounds

Meeting my bf has motivated me to start my weight loss journey 😊 after I met him, I realised how much fitter he was physically and I was so sad that I could not keep up. This was also schocking. Finally made me realize, that I want to be healthy. I always liked the way I looked, and I still do after weight loss. My bf liked me at my heaviest and still does now

Changing your life takes everything in you. Giving a part of yourself to someone else both hurts you and undervalue the other person. Transformation is a philosophy. You have to be 100% focused.

When you do get to the point of dating again, only go for like minded fitness people. Trust me. You don’t want to spend a lot of time and energy getting your life, body and health together only to have it sabotage by someone you are dating.

I’m a woman and I agree totally with everything your saying. I can’t be on the phone past 9:30 or 10 when I need a good solid 7 or 8 hours and getting up @ 5:30 to get in workout before work. Guys that aren’t on the same mission don’t understand that. Some even try to tell you not to worry about going to the gym eating right “you look good thick” had to let them go. It’s not the time on this part of my journey I need like minded active and fit people in my life, entertaining me with food, drinks, movies and sex is not the ticket your vibrations and energy change. This was a great post!!! Keep it up

This is exactly why I’m not looking for a relationship! As I’m changing my views and likes are changing!

Damn man he's not lying.

I’m not getting a new girl until i find somebody who likes to train as much as i do

I am definitely not looking into dating right now.. I'm going to school, working, and on this fitness journey. I got too much going on to even think about a relationship. I just wanna be able to accomplish my fit goals. Its not about looking thin to me, I just wanna be able to break those chains from my family history. And maintain a healthy lifestyle, so one day I'll be able to run with my future kids. And not put myself at risk for diabetes etc. It's definitely a life long lifestyle change for me. Not just to lose weight and quit.

I’m trying to lose 50 pounds. 8 down 42 more to go!

I went from 497lbs to 243lbs. I feel better how I feel but I'm still lonely.

This content is all facts and I am glad you posted it because it’s truth. Just to dissuade all naysayers there are exceptions. When you’re working through any monumental transformation weight, money, self , your perspective, your surroundings even your associations change. I am going through this now and honestly I am glad I am doing it alone. Not only am I maintaining my focus but I have gotten so much done because all those resources I give to whom ever I am dating are reserved for me and it’s ok to make it about yourself. You will be no benefit to anyone until you love, respect, and forgive yourself. Thanks for the content Brix...🙏🏿

This is exactly what I did.. #3 & #4 was on point... my less confident self accepted a lot of ish from dudes because my confidence, self esteem, self worth were all low and I knew I needed to work on me before I can get back into dating.

This guy is an inspiration. I actually like his realistic approach to everything.

I definitely agree with this. A lot of people will claim you're just making excuses to not put yourself out there but it's not. Folks will say things like - "There is no right time to date" - "There is always going to be something to be insecure about" - "If you don't feel enough now, you won't later" - "Learn to embrace being overweight" These all sound similar above, but here is the reality of dating when you are overweight and there is no right or wrong in what someone wants to do. For Women who are overweight If a woman doesn't want to lose weight, but wants to date fit healthy lean men, she's screwed because her most likely options are men who have a fat fetish or other overweight men. If a woman doesn't want to lose weight, but doesn't mind dating overweight men, she solved her own problem. If a woman wants to lose weight and is fine with dating an overweight guy but doesn't want to lose weight, that relationship is going to be tough and it's hard to lose weight when you and the other person isn't on the same page. Also, like you said, when you lose weight, you're standards will change. If she wants more dating options with men she is actually attracted, she needs to put in the effort. The same principle applies to men for the most part. Overweight men do have an easier time attracting women most men find attractive than overweight women do of attracting men that most women find attractive. It's definitely possible to attract beautiful women as an overweight man, but it's really difficult to do that when you're introverted and don't really have a big personality, it's certainly not off the table, but it's very hard. You can learn to not let those insecurities get to you, but it's a rational insecurity that you can change and it's very difficult to feel good about being overweight, in my opinion it's easier to just lose weight than to work on feeling good about being overweight. Telling someone to not let these insecurities get to you is basically like telling a financially unstable person to not let that stop you from becoming a parent. Being overweight isn't a petty insecurity like the shape of your lips because it's completely normal to not feel good about being fat and it is something that is a red flag for a lot of people. I certainly don't believe in waiting until you have a 6 pack or a "perfect" body, but dating when you are overweight or skinny-fat is really difficult to do and not really worth it. I honestly feel like dating when you're overweight is torturous and I don't think it's for everyone.

Everything you said is completely true and a harsh reality for me. My boyfriend wants me to spend a night during the week and that affects my 6am training session then he gets angry if I don’t see him for a week at a time. It’s so draining to me to try and keep him happy while bettering myself 😔 he’s a great guy but I need to focus on me so I can become a better woman. If it’s real he’ll be there for me in the long run but I know what I have to do because I’m tired of starting over improving my wellness. I love how working out consistently makes me feel!

I can agree and disagree. When I was younger I got distracted really easy. I lost like 40 lbs , got in a relationship and boom all the weight was back and I gave up. But now being almost 40, I’ve been on my journey for about 5 years. Really wasn’t dating but got things accomplished. However I’m on the last leg of my journey and I’ve been in a relationship for almost 2 years. I go to the gym 4 days a week and my partner is super supportive and makes sure they don’t get in the way or distract me.

Good stuff. It’s real. Especially the insecurities. I’m a fairly confident guy, but now that I’m out here dating again and having to face my body image issues it’s challenging. it’s almost to the point where I don’t want to deal with someone until I’m comfortable dealing with me.

I agree with this whole heartedly!! I did not date for an entire year!! I knew I wanted to change my life and not be distracted! No matter how you dress it up and put a bow on it, having someone’s energy transferred to you physically will have an affect on you and the goals you set for yourself. That’s just the way it is! In that year, I had so much dam clarity, I was mad that it took me that long!!

I 100% concur with this video. My goal is to lose 120 lbs. My focus is on improving my mind, body and spirit. So I am currently on an abstinence journey while I work on me. Everything about distractions, confidence and standards is on point.

It's BRIX baby!!!!! Yep don't date, until you get to your goal. Unless you are "loosing weight together". My wife 💕 and I went to the gym together back when we were dating. I was certainly motivated to hit the gym with her, she was banging looking. Still is. So i Got in shape, got married and gained the weight. Now with keto (OMAD) and HITT daily, got back in better shape real quick and kept it. 2 years and counting. I actually have a 6 pack abs again. Imagine that.

You literally changing and saving lives video by video

Love how honest and real you go with it. 💯

That focus bucket part was a cold breakdown and opened my eyes up to think about MY previous sluggish days. Keep the dope content coming.

Brix you litreally so underrated . Taking all this advice at age 22 trynna transform my mind,body and soul

This man keeps dropping 🔑 someone get him a RU-vid medal in fitness please ! Videos are more than the basic “how to lose weight “ this dude CARES & it shows.

Speaking as a man who went through all of these things, you've it the nail on the head, Brix.

Thanks for being a motivation and a mentor!!

I’ve never ever looked at it like this , thank you - what a great channel ! Keep up the amazing work

Thanks for being humble and transparent 💯

This video was gold, I needed to hear this. Peace brother

I completely agree you lose your focus,it's just that easy,

Last month I decided not to date this year until these 60 lbs are gone. I don't even want the guy I would attract at this size and mindset. I want to be at my best so that my energy attracts the best.

Great advice. Glad that you articulated the sacrifices one makes during a weight loss journey. God bless homie. VA represent!

Brix I needed to see this. THANK YOU.

Thank you, For posting these videos. these has helped me to stay focused on my journey. Its been a struggle and glad that I not the only one that struggles with similar issues. Thank you again.

I consider you my Coach. You are so knowledgeable and break it down easy to understand. Subscribed. BTW, your crib is on point.

THIS WHAT THE PEOPLE NEED TO HEAR!

I totally agree, even my friends agrees this 100%, one thing i have noticed though, is that when you tell these girls that "sorry but i have to focus on myself for a while now, we can be friends tho :)" they understand that, but that makes them chase me more, just because im 100% confident and focusing on weight loss. sometimes this is hard for a nice guy like me, but i have to keep on grinding.

The realest channel on RU-vid 💪🏾💪🏾✌🏾

Well said my man. You keepin it a bean

I LOVE THIS VIDEO...IT WAS SOOOOOO NEEDED! SALUTE TO YOU KING!!!!

Jesus, I was actually thinking about this today... Not only Covid killing my love life but this 100lbs I gotta lose ain't gonna help at all...

Wow this was on point about the whole process. Thanks Brix Fitness 😃🤗🤗😃👋🏿👋🏿😌🙏🏾

Excellent content here, Brix, my brotha! Where were you when I was in my teens and 20s? I needed this today while on my lunch break at the library. Thank you!!! You are one of my motivators.

I really needed to hear these words. I believe this concept should, not only be applied to weight loss, but for achieving your goals as well. I'm one of those individuals who is trying to lose those last 10lbs, but I'm also in college trying to achieve my goals. Minimizing Distractions is key 👍

Great video! A lot of facts were spit during this session!

Your video is the sign I've been waiting for. Thanks bro

Needed to hear this thanks brudda!

I literally just hit “like” from the JUMP! It REALLY helps with EXPOSURE, BRANDING, and CONVERSION...support, entrepreneurs, creatives, and teachers. Brix is both. Never met him..: but in Time

Couldn’t have uploaded this at a better time 👍

Thanks for the video brix’s this is so true the last 2 months I’ve been doing these things I’ve made the the most progress this way.

I have to say you are so right about that I'm 55 years old i weight around 188 lbs my goal is to weigh around 170 lbs and im in a relationship and I have to get my mind straight and do me because I would love to live to 90 or 100 years old 👍👍👍

Trying to lose 30lbs. This video is perfect timing. Gyms Just opened in NY and Fall is coming. Yeahhhh Back In The Gym

This is so true! Especially the last 2 🙌🏽✨

Wow man! only a person who has gone through a massive and successful transformation could tell us that. And thank you for telling us these points and making us realize and reminding us to only focus on the transformation process and then when we achieve it successfully we can move onto dating and then our chances will be significantly better.

Dropping major gems as always

I agree with you and definitely appreciate this video. Thanks

Thank you! I need it to hear this. Great video!

You a trip with that #4 😂😂.. but it’s the truth! Once you get in shape you feel like you can bag every bad chick you come across. Great perspective my dude.

Excellent video brother. I always appreciate your knowledge and insight. Regarding dating while trying to lose weight, I know you've had the bird's eye perspective on this. However, I do think dating while trying to lose weight is subjective in that one may meet a person who pushes them. Or they may be in a situation in which they work out together. I think it's ultimately up to the personalities, their time, and the vibe of the situation. Keep the excellent content coming, it is appreciated! Much love, peace, and respect!

This is one of your best video's!!!! You def dropped some jewels!

So true! Sooooo the moment I realized that fried chicken, pasta, ice cream and guys were still gonna be there while I spent time in my solo space, not depending on food or dates for distraction... i was like, wdf have I been doing???? It's scary to deal with your own shit... but that is the only real permanent life change.

I really needed to hear this Thank you . I've lost 120 pounds and still going

This applies to everyone - including middle age white women in Canada 💯 great job! Thank you!

bruh, I like your spot and the ambiance.

willpower is a limited resource. that's a VERY POWERFUL concept I have never ever considered. And honestly that's what I need to focus on to get to the end of my goals. I lost 70lbs 2 years ago and maintained, but I want to lose 70 more. Started this week and I'm intentional about making it to the finish line this time. You just made my journey that much easier. wow. thank you.

Really inspirational and spot on Brix! Back in 2017 when I was out approaching women (day game), I was struggling a lot because I was 3 stones overweight. It makes a big difference and women don't wanna say anything because they don't wanna appear shallow. When I got down to my goal weight of 200 lbs at 6'0" tall, before I could even start talking to them again, I noticed women were checking me out a lot more. Being fit is a sign of being healthy, and it really does impact on your ability and likelihood to get a mate. It is the harsh reality. Wish I would have listened to my gut all those years ago! Thanks for posting :))

Brilliant. All great points.

I go to the gym 6 days a week. I go to onelife fitness in Norfolk.

while loosing weight, focus on leveling up your bag and finances... this is the ultimate time for FOCUS! Im a programmer and I built intense apps in a short period of time... my mind is busy which is the ultimate goal if you're fasting.

Great advice, bro. Please drop a video on if and when you should consider dating during your fitness journey. Would love to hear it.

Thank you bro 🙏🏾 it's definitely what I need to focus on I cant become an Entrepreneur or lose this weight without spending my time on leveling up me thank you

I really needed this.

Literally that last tip is what I’m experiencing rn!

Thank you 🙏 needed this now more than ever

Wish I could push the like button 10 times, fam keeps it 💯 all the time!!

This video was right on time. I came to this realization a few weeks ago that all distractions from women would need to be eliminated in order for me to reach the next fitness level. And just when temptation crept back this video was the confirmation I needed.

Dope crib set up!

I like your videos before I even watch because I know it's Golden... Love you brother Brixx!!! ✊🏾👊🏾🤜🏾

I hear you Brix 💯

THANKS FOR KEEPING ME MOTIVATED BIG DOG!!! 💪👉🏋

I really appreciate this video.

Didn’t realize you were in Va. I will be ready to work out with you eventually

This might be your best video....and the last point. So true .. i van relate to that ...thnx bruh

I agree. But I also feel that dating while on the journey is motivation.

Thanks for this video!

These where some great points

Yo You Talking Facts fr 💯💯💯Im siting here thinking wow like you are telling the truth dating will distract you because I lost 68 pounds before once I started dating I gain some my weight back lol you are right 💯💯I love the video man 💯👏🏾

Love the new content.

I WAS LITERALLY just thinking about this last night. Damn, you're in my head bro lmao

My dude!!!!! You hit it on the head.

Alway on point omg yess. Brother

Do it together! Don’t wait if you can find a likeminded person with similar goals...even if they already did their transformation. Tomorrow isn’t a guarantee so putting off romantic endeavors is simply time & happy experiences you can’t get back. I have done it. There are so many healthy things to do & healthy cooking & dining out to explore with another. Nothing more motivating than sharing fitness & lifestyle.

This was everything ❤️
