Great job! Way to go

PMSL. Great vidoe.

Love the T-Shirt 🤣🤣

Hi Mark, love the content, do you drink alcohol or are you teetotal? I’ve just started the fat jab and seen some weight loss, but I do like a beer most nights!

Disordered eating; heard it all now. You do have a choice to stuff yourself or not. You have free will; in your case however it seems you have very little will.. never your fault

Great video...I was 315 in my 20's and went down to 179 at age 39 after I got into cycling. I've slowly been adding weight and am over 200 lbs again. I'm creeping on 50 years old and would describe my eating as disordered as well. It definitely gets harder as we get older. Good Luck on your journey.

Immediate thought is how much slimmer your face is

You have clearly got your You Tube mojo back. Excellent video

I have commented on Ozempic before, I just switched to Mounjaro myself, and so far it seems all good to me. For context, I went from 186kg to 110kg on Ozempic, went back up to 125kg and now aiming for <100kg.

Excellent video! Thanks Mark!

Now we only need to add finasteride for the hair loss and we'll have the perfect specimen

oh, Mark, thank you, you have such a good common sense while talking about all those fat jab medications. Me, being doctor endocrinologist, almost every day I have to explain to patients, that this is not a miracle, that magically "delets" fat or excess weight, but through appetite (GIP GLP1) suppression there is less appetite and that person still has to workout :)

Emotional support dog. 😂

The drug made me sick when I increased the dose too rapidly. I’ve dropped back to the starting dose and feel better, but the chocolate chips are back too.

Funny, funny.

8:15 - OK, I'll give it to you that she's turned a wheel - but be good to see her on the road. In all seriousness, really enjoy your authentic content Mark. Keep it coming.

I feel for people like Gary. They truly believe people care what they think.

Thanks Mark - I really appreciate your candid view on things. You talking openly about TRT really helped me and this is no different. Mental health and weight gain (and resulting negative body image) are real problems, that particularly for men, are often ignored. I'd much rather open candid content, than endless BS videos from people who take a world of different things but deny they ever do.

I stepped my jab up to 5mg. Worst decision I ever made lol. I should’ve listened to you and stayed at 2.5. As I’m about 2-3 weeks behind you, so I’ve been watching you closely haha. I’ve delayed putting in the next order, as I wanted to figure out if I should stay at 5, or go back down 2.5. Definitely gonna go back down I think. The sides are horrendous. If you wanna have a 10 minute chat to inform your video I’d be happy to share my experiences lol

I have watched your channel from the beginning I hardly ever comment but thankyou for all the help and inspiration you have given me

Just asking: I'm not an English speaker (I'm Belgian) so maybe I missed something in the video and my question is ridiculous. Is Mounjaro available over the counter in the UK or did you have to go to the doctor for it?

Its so refreshing to hear a more honest approach about real life and fitness its not oftern people show the ups and downs and are honest about the sturggles. I have in resent years developed a food noise problem and have a consent battle with it. keep up the content really enjoy the channel.

Do you wear your wife’s t-shirts ?

Brilliant 😂

No way you went to body view 😂 I work round the corner. I had contemplated going there myself for a vo2 max test..

Well done Mark. Fellow disordered eating person here too. Stress, boredom, celebrating.. all end up with eating for me! Did Wegovy for 4 months, lost a loaf of weight and reprogrammed my brain… been off it for several months, but the old ways are coming back again… in a way looking forward to Christmas being over so I can give myself permission to return to less disordered eating again!

What ever possessed you to learn the Guitar, Mark? 😂 In the end, these things are personal choices and it’s great you’re telling your story in such a way as to help people make their own choices, rather than, as per much of the social media commenting world, telling people what they should and shouldn’t do 🤦‍♂️ 😂

Silly question - once you're training again, don't your calorie and protein needs (as opposed to wants) increase? How does that fit / work with the reduced appetite caused by the drug?

You're a professional athlete, maybe you need to focus your mind and will power more effectively to switch off your compulsion to over eat. Feels like you taking this drug is a bit like a fairly attractive person having cosmetic surgery. Is there really a need?

Big thanks to you

If you're in Fareham for this video with an Xmas tree in the car I'm assuming you live near me

😂😂😂 damn sure ure a funny chap

I fully get the food noise thing. I’m obsessed with eating as well. Coming from 170kg down to 92kg 16% bf, all achieved through excessive cardio only. Now back to 114 28%BF. Sincerely interested in the fat jab, because I suffer like crazy on OMAD or any other calorie restricted diet. Funny enough, just had a nasty virus a few days ago that left me not interested in food at all for a few days. This made me wonder : is this what normal people feel? How do you guys go on about actually getting a prescription? I’m in Germany and we’re slow with these kinds of things..

Great video as usual. Climbed Alpe Du Zwift for the first time a couple of days ago, re watched your Alpe Zwift videos, was great motivation!

Are you still on that stupid vegan diet? If so, no wonder you can’t control your eating “at times” 😊

Do you realize that you promote questionable drugs to many likely desperate people? Just read the comments on this video... I hope you get better soon.

After watching your content for a long time, I’m finding it hard to connect with this new path. As a T1D that’s had to regulate lifestyle choices, food, health and exercise 24/7 for 20+ years now, it is a difficult journey. Also as an athlete, where so much joy and fulfillment comes from flying close to the sun and pushing yourself to reach new heights. Which with some harder conditions, can equally land you in a really bad spot if you aren’t careful. Your health and ambition for training can often be at odds, definitely understand the struggle.

I wish I had the gene that when I get stressed I go for a run or power clean the house. I turn to snacks. 😂

Another clinical result: humor is lost in the diet

Very interesting video, as always. My immediately thought was - it's a shame you hadn't been been smashing the weight room, as well as Burger King, in the lead up to taking a fat jab...you'd be super shredded right now! 😉

I’d be more interested in what happens when your forget to take TRT

The dog-clipper joke got a 'Like'.

Mark, please get back to guitar and make some inspirational videos because I'm getting guitar 'fat'

Never so glad to see a notification on KZbin. Great to see the transformation Mark and love the hair cut 😂

Cracking update for how it's working for you, Mark. Ignore/clearly have those keyboard warriors. Not sure you've spoken about it, and I'm spitballing ideas. You thought about counselling for your food habits or hypnosis to see if they can help? Keep up the great videos and comedy, love it. Have a great Christmas!

I think we all experience food noise, it's our world full of highly palatable finds.

It's all well and good offering kind words to Mark but please guys also take a moment to think about garygary48. He's lost an influencer and I just hope garygary's getting the support he needs in these difficult times from the KZbin community

Hahahaha!!! I absolutely laughed out loud when you said “turns out…..” 😂🐶✂️

Food noise……oh what relief it must be to avoid it for a while. Also love the obligatory shot of the duck pond podium.

One of the most valuable things about your channel is the nuanced way that physical fitness is shown as a part of your life, which has, like most of us, mental and physical health challenges. It's your journey and if that occasionally illuminates mine that is a win for both of us.
