The Results | 100 Days

[@lauraminor4668]

Laura the trainer here! Such a great experience... for all commenting about that they should do more "weight" training. I assure you they were doing so without traditional weights. That's what is great about this series. No, they weren't lifting heavy weights day after day, but look at their health factors.

I am such a nerd, I started misting up when John showed up for Chris. Also, every time I sing a song while doing dishes, I now hear John quickly mumble "we can't clear these rights."

i love how john came back in the end to do the last workout with chris, it really shows their development throughout this, and that john is confident enough to voluntarily put himself through another ones of those work outs xD

But honestly, if you guys are reading, I want to thank you for the motivation (and entertainment) you've provided us these past 100 days, it's honestly refreshing and inspiring to see two regular guys trying to better themselves Good luck for the futur! ❤️❤️

[@bellboots]

The most underrated Vlogbrothers content ever. Such an important journey for every adult to see.

[@myoldaimsnwastaken]

I've just started exercising again, and one thing that helps motivate me is Chris's line from this video, "There's never been a time where I've gotten done exercising or working out and been like 'Boy, I wish I hadn't done that.'" I actually have it written on the whiteboard in my room to remind me to work out even on the days I don't want to. Thank you for sharing your journey with us!

[@TwinkTwinkle]

I'm going to miss this so much! I've been working on my diet the past 100+ days, so I think I'll actually start the exercise too now! Thanks for making this people!

[@thewinterizzy]

I'm so sad this is over. I have LOVED this series. By far my favorite series to come out of KZbin. It's incredible to see the differences between day one flashbacks and present day, physically and in the way you talk about health/fitness. Thank you so much for sharing this journey with us. It's been a true pleasure. dftba. Go out there and be f*cking majestic.

[@Geeksdanz]

John, it really makes me happy to see you acknowledging the impact your physical self can have on your mental self. That's one of my guiding principles of life, and it was such a treat to see you experience it these past 100 days. Keep it up, and remember - we become what we think we are!

[@switchingtime]

KEEP THE CHANNEL ALIVE, DANGIT! I've said it before and I'll say it again, 100 DAYS: VLOG EDITION! Feature members of the community on their respective journeys, and let them do the filming, editing, etc. It'll be a change of style, easy on you guys resource-wise, and you can keep this channel from just dying off. If you really need it, I'll friggin' volunteer as tribute. JUST DO IT!

[@arianaestariel4716]

Thank you, John and Chris, and thanks to all of your trainers, experts and crew, for bringing us 100 Days. When I was 39 (in early 1999), I weighed 264 lbs. and knew I was going to die sooner rather than later. That epiphany shook me profoundly enough to strip me of my complacency and my tendency towards inertia and self-isolation. I immediately started my own journey (mental and physical) by taking a yoga class at the gym at my work and plodding/jogging. In that first year, without any professional help, I lost 110 lbs. I went from being very winded after briskly walking a quarter of a mile to running about 45 miles a week. Running is no longer an option for me right now at 58, due to knee issues. Instead, I crush the elliptical and a stationary bike, as well as do weight training. Even so, I have kept the weight off (I was at 154 last night), but eventually consulted with the occasional personal trainer and a nutritionist when I was hitting walls. More importantly, I also discovered how vital exercise and good nutrition are to me in coping with my depressive illness and damping down the "wolf at the door" of self-hate howling inside me, clawing to take over my brain. Seeing you both on your fairly candid journey together reminded me of what I went through and still do even today. Sharing your journey, even just through the videos, gives me a resource to turn to if I need encouragement and one to share with others who might benefit by your example. I am so grateful you have shared this 100 Days, but there are many more 100 days where you won't be in the public eye. As you continue your more private 100 Days journey, I know want you to know that I am still with you in spirit and with all who embark on their own 100 Days towards heath. By the way, you mentioned continuing to have a goal. I totally get that. I have one, too. If I keep my weight in check, I can eat the best artisan chocolate in the world and drink the best craft beer in the world. 18 years on and I still eating incredible chocolate and drinking fabulous beer. Goal!!!! You guys are truly F*CKING MAJESTIC!

[@quite_fair]

Now I'm gonna go back and rewatch the entire thing again. Thank you John and Chris. I've started running seriously again this year, mostly because of 100days. I've hit a couple of snags, especially now since my med school finals are coming up, but I'm gonna get back on track as soon as I can. Best of luck to you both in your fitness journey beyond this!

[@actingotaku]

YAY! It's been a fun 100 days. John, I'm so excited to welcome you to the running club (this is the part where we call chant ONE OF US) if you ever want to come run in Chicago, I'd be happy to meet up =)

[@peregrination3643]

That was so fun that Chris EXPECTED John to show up. He didn't KNOW, but he EXPECTED it...with a little sweat before the lesson.

[@Dreamfounder]

Thank you guys for this awesome series! Since it started I have joined an amazing gym community and been working out regularly for the first time in years. I'm stronger, physically and mentally. I worked out with you at Nerdcon and it was awesome. With your 100 days ending, the 100 days facebook community is starting another 100 days project for ourselves, and I am now tackling my diet. Thanks for helping me realize my inner eagle in flight!

[@hollystone9875]

As someone who's been a semi-pro ballet dancer her whole life, it's been fascinating to watch John and Chris learn things about discipline and mental tolerance for pain that I've known since I was a kid. So cool to see the understanding come in different ways!

[@janecampbell4662]

Thanks for your hard work, dedication and golf clips! I loved following with you guys and you really encouraged me to try these things myself!

100 days later down 35 lbs and feeling much better looking forward to summer of actually being able to do some of the fun things I've been letting my weight hold me back from. Thanks always for the inspiration.

[@Schlagz13]

This has been such an inspirational journey. I hope anyone who has struggled with their health finds this journey and looks to it for guidance. I also hope that everyone who has ever been self-conscious about going to the gym because they feel that they are being judged realize that the only thing that matters is that they are there to better themselves and nothing else matters. Good luck to everyone on their health endeavors and help spread the positivity!

[@MattKaminski]

What have I concluded after all of this? My new favorite phrase is "fucking majestic"

[@SigmaMorrigan]

Ugh, just came back to this and realized how much I miss this series. More please?

[@KelmoMusic]

I wasn't aware of this while it was running, but I have kind of been doing my own new exercise routine and it has been an awesome change. I actually came at it from the mental health point of view, and it has worked pretty well so far. I think for me what is difficult is finding goals to set because I am lucky enough to be younger with a decent metabolism, and I don't have a desire to get huge, so instead of physical goals, my main thing is consistency. I have only missed one day since I started a few months ago, which was this week because I have had a gnarly cold. I started off going twice a week and then upped it to 3 days, and I'm considering making it everyday, because it always makes me feel better. It has been hard to plan a real routine because I'm coming to the end of my university education and things have been very sporadic, but hopefully after all of this I will be able to flesh out some new goals and continue to improve my overall health. No real point to this comment, just wanted to share and say that taking on some kind of exercise routine is so beneficial. Healthy food, healthy sleep and a healthy amount of exercise is the feel good trifecta, but no, you don't have to give up pizza, just don't eat it every day. I'm still working on the sleep thing myself.

[@mitchellapple9184]

Pretty awesome guys. Enjoyed watching your journey. It's starting to warm up so I've started doing my daily 2 miles again. See you over on vlogbrothers, crash course, sci show, and all your great channels!!!

[@Zeyev]

I'm glad you'll be training for your half. I did not train for my first half marathon at age 42 and my quads reminded me at mile 10 that they were not happy. I told them I could crawl the last 3.1 miles and to STFU. I did finish, running. If your quads hurt after a long run, please remember not to go down stairs forward; go down backwards instead. And congratulations on starting your new life.

[@CharlineLikesC]

I saw John at VidCon Europe a week ago and by chance he showed up right beside me while I was at the DFTBA merch stand - I had met him before in 2012 when the German Nerdfighter scene started to group together around his TFIOS book tour and back in the day we took a photo together. Looking back at this picture, he seemed so much slimmer today and a little bit older, but that is what 5 years do to you... still looking good though even with the grey hairs starting to show up here and there. As it happens I was wearing the same shirt 2017 and 2012...was a great pleasure seeing him again.

[@kkilinahe]

This entire channel was just bff goals, honestly. So proud of y'all!

[@GratsielaLily]

Oww John is a great friend! (not that i ever doubted him)...i wish 100 days could stretch into 200...or a new group could take over the challange... it was an awesone show, i never imagined watching two people work out for 100 days could be so entertaining and inspirational :D

[@cheezecake423]

I'm so proud of you guys and all that you've accomplished these 100 days, physically, mentally and health-wise. Truly inspiring :')

So proud of you two and thanks for always giving us great perspective over the past 100 days - excited to apply your best ideas here into my workouts moving forward! And John - so excited for you and your training for your first half marathon with Laura! #DFTBA

[@amberbydreamsart5467]

Thanks so much for this series, John and Chris. I definitely didn't do the steps you've made towards health, but I did make one big step around the same time: Jan 1st was the first day I felt the antidepressants, the first ones I've ever started on, really affect my mood and productivity, and they've been working great for me ever since. I'm graduating college with a BFA in June and I don't think I'd be doing it nearly as successfully without that, and hearing your talk about exercise helping with mental health has got me thinking about adding more in the future, John. I started going on half hour walks 2-3 times a week, now, which I've found can help me focus later in the day, and I'm hoping when I move to a new city I can get a pool membership, as I've always really enjoyed swimming (and have been recommended low-impact exercise by my doctor due to slightly weak joints). My eating is still... about as dismal as most college kids, but I've slowly been able to get the exercise and concentration to improve it bit by bit, and considering the effort of boiling pasta felt like too much effort last fall, any improvement is steps I'm glad to make. This series has been great to watch and is reminding me that it's never too late to make good health decisions in my life, and I hope I'll continue to improve through the years! Cheers!

[@josiahbrondyke]

Thanks for sharing this project I will be doing my 100 days this summer with my wife.

[@gas_on_my_hands8283]

Ive never done a proper workout stint like y'all, but I definitely know that I've gained a much higher tolerance for pain after doing cross country running for three years in high school. I always notice that even 2 years after stopping the sport and some long gaps of time between working out, I still have that mental stamina and that understanding of my body and its limits. It ain't no joke, my friends

[@marielaalcantar4850]

This was incredibly sweet and motivational. Will definitely miss it but proud of both you. Enjoy the music during your workouts now haha.

[@DonnaJulia]

I absolutely loved watching this series, and it has inspired me to buckle down on my own health and fitness! I have the same problem as John, without a goal or someone to stay accountable to, I struggle to find the motivation, but I am working on it!

[@nicolealexis4512]

Fantastic series!! I enjoyed it so much and I really hope there are more "seasons" of 100 days to come

[@tjg555]

Adding in my own thanks to John & Chris for doing this. It was fascinating all the way through, and though I didn't get into it nearly as much as you guys did, you did inspire me in part to start adding a bit more exercise to my routines. John especially had a noticeable personality difference, there has been none of the usual pessimistic/realistic morbid nihilism in his podcasts and videos lately. His mood seems much improved, which is the most noticeable thing from my own perspective. Maybe it would work for me too...thanks again guys. Hope you find something to collaborate on again in the future.

that you'd volunteer for that last session... admirable. proud of you both!

I'm going to try 100 days after my exams hopefully, wish me luck! And thanks John and Chris for inspiring me, I never would have even considered this if it wasn't for you guys. Also, can we please have 2 other people do 100 days now that John and Chris are done.
