Just me talking about the stuff that happened between my last video and now. Plus the goals I have going forward! Anything you guys want to know drop an ask and I’ll try to answer it in future videos! Love you guys!!
I’m sorry you feel like you’ve disappointed us because that’s not the case. No one expects perfection, we’re just happy to be a part of your journey. You’re candor is so inspirational and I’m so proud of you.
I’d love to see more updates man, you don’t have to have some huge update for us or be at some certain point. I legitimately want to hear how you’re doing in general, how have things been. Hopefully this finds you well!
Hey John! Hope things are well friend. We're here for you whenever you decide to come back - your videos have been incredibly supportive and have helped me so much.
Just wanted to check in with you and tell you that you’re missed and that I hope you are taking care of yourself. Let us know how you are sometime. Your followers care, whether it’s a good update or bad! Life is a long journey and time will pass either way. Might as well make the best of it.
You owe us nothing. That's how support it is sometimes. Pay it forward. First to yourself and then to those that you can offer your experience, strength, and hope too. There's a saying and I can't resist sharing it. "Don't look where you fell, but where you slipped." Nice to know the world is a better place because we are still in it.
Great to get an update and thanks for opening up about your struggles. As a fellow Minnesotan who has been obese most of my life, I'm really excited to see you continue your journey.
It’s been a tough year and a half! I’m so proud of you, keep up the great work. Your health is the most important thing to us all here in Minnesota. Friends and family miss you 😘 “GO JOHN GO “
Sounds like you have a solid plan and are already making great progress. Glad to see you back at! It's a long journey but worth it. I've lost 45 lbs over the last year and looking to lose another 30-40 more. It's def not easy but small changes is what it took for me and the progress is rewarding.
3 years! Both my partner and I have asked multiple times how you'd be doing! - Glad to see you being tough, strong and motivated again to tackle your previous mission! You'll have to think of something more exciting than a salad though, it's a fun challenge to see what you can get creative with, and turn regular veg and rabbit food into something declicious! May I recommend (and don't be offended, I'm a rare steak eating kinda guy) that you consider meat alternative food like quorn? (or equivelant in your country!)... I only say this as I've cut my meat consumption down just replacing a couple days with "fake meat" days :P Then it's not cut out ENTIRELY. I hope it'll help though! Really love your videos, you're an excellent guy, you truly deserve to excell! :) Sadly haven't watched your video entirely... I just got back from a new job I've started; it's all good, I'm just knackered! i'd say more but... Zzzzzzz Take care of yourself man, keep putting more deepfakes of yourself, they're great to watch! :D Josh & Emily from the UK. (Previous commenters of your videos in the past... hehe)
Hey man, glad to hear from you again. Don't worry about "disappointing" anyone, especially if guilt is counterproductive for you. Sorry to hear about the injury you sustained, but awesome to hear that recently you've been making some progress. Really hoping you can hit that weight you need to to get the surgery. Not sure if you've addressed this in any of your videos, but curious to hear what type of workout routine you've got going on or planned, if any. I've heard that weightlifting can be beneficial for weight loss, even simple stuff like grabbing a couple dumbbells and doing some seated exercises like curls, shoulder press, bench press, etc. We'll be rooting for you man, keep us posted and feel free to DM if you ever wanna talk about it.
Hey, been quite a long time. Just commenting to let you know I'm still here. Don't feeling like writing much atm, but know that I'll be watching and I'm looking forward to all your updates. :)
Glad you're back. You got a lot of people behind you for support. You have a genuine nature about you that really connects to many of us viewers. Best of luck, you got this!
Bro I've been watching you since day one and have been going through my own weight loss battles. you haven't let anyone down and you have been doing things at your own pace man. things happen but the fact you still have that drive is what matters brother. Big love to you
I Really like that you´re getting back on track with the nutrition. I just Started watching you again from day 1 while eating healthier too. You have been an real inspiration for me to eat healthier with the salad videos Dont worry about the screw up. We all screw the diet up . Life hits you like a brick sometimes. I will be rooting for you .
Glad to see you back. As you know with your injury - it's all about getting back up! A pandemic and thesis sent me back to where I started with my weight but, no shame, that's life. Just gotta keep plugging on. I'm now 5 pounds down. I tore my ACL and had surgery (many many years) later. I managed for a long time without surgery. But physio and an exercise bike and surgery and I have a new lease on life.
Maaaaaan is it good to have you back. I, like many, was worried about you but in the back of my mind I always thought you were doing okay. When I discovered you back when you started, I was on a personal journey of sorts of my own, so it was awesome to check in with you on here. Since that journey I slipped up, and everything changed. I started again recently, so to have you return at a time like this I am more than grateful. I wish you the best of luck, but not that you need luck. You're a guy with the grit and resolve to reach great heights.
Hey! So glad to hear about you!! These past years I would check on you from time to time. I still remember watching your videos over Christmas (2017/18?) it was one of the most eye-opening Nd inspiring things I've ever seen. I hope you keep posting videos and loosing weight. Please don't give up, you are worth it.
Firstly, I'm really happy that you're still around. Secondly, I'm glad you're back on the horse. Don't be ashamed of failing, because most people would be hypocrites if they acted like they weren't on diet attempt #25. The pandemic screwed me up real bad. I float around 400lb, so I'm no small guy myself. Literally the week things started shutting down, I was back at the gym working out and dieting. COVID screwed up exercise, and while I did lose a bit of weight doing Keto, the stress and mental health battles just made me go sloppy and re-gain it all back. We're in this together buddy. I just turned 30 last August, and I've gotta do something now. My top priorities right now are getting back into Keto, and doing enough meal prep to have two weeks of food in the freezer at any time. Let's do this John!
I very much am Glad to see you again. Keep yourself honest, the feeling is always going to be there to want more. We Believe in you. Just Keep Pushing Forward Be Well
Holy CRAP! I am glad you are still alive! Things happen! The pandemic was not helpful to any of us. Trust me when I say, my main concern was not weight-- it was surviving mentally. We understand-- please don't feel you've disappointed us. It's cool that so many strangers care for you! Hindsight is always 20/20 with the things we maybe should have been doing. Please don't beat yourself up John! Really glad to see you are still fighting :D What a wonderful update, thank you.
It's great to see you back, mate. It's been a tough time for all of us lately, and I don't think anyone can blame you for slipping up, it happens to the best of us. Looking forward to watching your future videos. Stay safe, man.
I'm not disappointed; I'm relieved that you didn't succumb to covid! I'm glad the slip and fall didn't turn out worse than it did. You have a lot of changes to make and progress isn't linear. You went backwards but now you know what mistakes you've made and how to better approach them this time. Fingers crossed for the surgery!
Was just wondering what happened to the salad man only a couple weeks ago, and holy damn he's back! We're all on your side man, but remember ya don't owe us nothin', from beginning to end getting healthy is only for YOUR benefit, so go for it!
Your mom sounds very supportive and it's good you are making progress. Don't worry about disappointing us, we just like hearing what you are upto. On top of your weightloss journey I hope you have something that is keeping you pumped for the day. I find when I'm stoked for anything that lies ahead in my calander staying motivaed to focus on health is far easier. Lighter heart = lighter steps, so to speek. I personally just started poledansing classes and feel how I'm both getting stonger and fitter. (Hehe, maybe not your cub of tea, but try to figure out what is. Could be hunting, short hikes or even some tipe of art classes).
Thank you! If I got into poll dancing That’d have to be a very seriously sturdy poll like an old school non rolling poll lol but it would be fun and possibly lead to a supplemental income…”mom I’m signing up for poll dancing classes!” I see what you mean though it’s been a while since I’ve picked something fun to look forward to doing I’ll have to think about that!
@@jgause1159 how is it going man, we would love an update. Anything good, bad, exciting or boring. Have you for example found your "pole classes"? Nows a great time(for many people) to try new things since covid is mostly out of the picture.
Dropping off again is not an option. Sorry for the lack of frequency of posting this time is very different for me and my primary focus is this weight loss I hope you stick around as I do plan to post my progress or even failings just not on set schedule. I appreciate the following so far and totally get if its frustrating waiting to hear anything and I love the support and use not only my strength but the strength you all give me to push me to do better this isn’t done by a long shot. Thanks!
