In case you need some titles for this series may I suggest: Paper Gowns, Looking for a Waistline, An Abundance of Saccharine, and The Fault in Our Carbs. ;-) Goodness knows many of these titles could also apply to me! :-/

[@fromscratchauntybindy9743]

Rusty Moth Studio Well done 😂 🙅👏👏👏

[@rustymothstudio2127]

Thanks Belinda Weber! If only I could have thought of one for Will Grayson Will Grayson! (v_v)

[@jag519]

"I'm more mad at my self for agreeing to do this" omg, that's great

[@2201rafaela]

Can I ask you guys to share the recipes using the metric system, too? I'm sure that non-Americans like me would appreciate that a lot. :)

[@bhagad]

Rafaela Carvalho Wait... I know mass is different (lb/kilo oz/g), but isn't volume kinda the same? Do you use something other than cups/tbsp/tsp? Honestly really curious because I can't imagine a recipe that uses something else for volume.

[@2201rafaela]

The tsp/tbsp/cups measurement is fine! :) But I have no idea how much is an ounce and I can only sort of guess that one pound is around half a kilo. But that's pretty much it, hahaha!

[@TheQuetzalcoatl]

yeah we don't use cups or spoons, we use very precise measurements in grams and milliliters and such. Recipes have to be "translated", too.

[@2201rafaela]

TheQuetzalcoatl You don't use those either? Wow, that's interesting! I use cups and spoons, but not ounces and pounds - only grams and mililiters. :)

[@TheQuetzalcoatl]

Hehe, no, i have no concept of how much a cup would be, which kind of cup anyway, tea? Coffee? Cappuccino? I'm perpetually confused by receipts with cups! ☺

[@FrontalBeep]

6:57 John Green in a keeper headband!!!! WHAAAT!! (I know, I know....the dftba store sells them) but I really want to see them play a company wide quidditch match!

[@nerdgirl7363]

I love John Green. He is completely honest about his mental health situation and isn't afraid to just casual drop it in a conversation (or joke about psychologists lol). He gives me real hope that I will one day be able to live a "normal" life with, not against, my mental illness.

[@Babelfroggy]

I'm going to do my best to follow along. I gave up smoking 7 weeks ago (it's my New Years resolution, I did it early because I was scared if I waited to 2017 I would decide it wasn't worth it!). As someone with serious health issues, it would be great to see more conversation about adapting exercise and diet.

[@evarose93]

That's awesome that you gave up smoking! Keep up the good work!!!

[@Liellierose]

Hi! Congrats on quitting smoking! That's huge. I'll be trying to follow along with you. I just wanted to wish you good luck!

[@ProcrastPerfection]

Woohoo! Keep at it!!

[@ampz1466]

Babelfroggy That is so awesome about the quitting smoking! 😁 I wish you all the luck in the world.

[@arrowlakesswimmer9572]

That's awesome, I think you made it through the worst part of quitting smoking. It's even more impressive that you did it over the holidays, since that is notoriously a high-stress time, and so many of my friends relapse in times of stress. Go you!

[@kmaya1024]

I just realized that I've never heard John speak unscripted and I genuinely enjoyed that today: John Green is a Normal Human Being! Happy New Year! I am very much looking forward to the next 100 days!

[@KannikCat]

Hats off to Mark Olsen for the great graphic design for this series! Really well done. :)

[@RivasLaforet]

This show is ON POINT. As a dietitian student, it is sooooo refreshing to actually talk about health and facts, and not looks and pseudoscience. ♥️ I love the Green Brothers. I wish I could see Hank here, though.

[@waownou]

Sheridan. Zulaiha, Meredith, Seth, Mark, Brandon, John and Chris. This is beautiful produced and will help this amazing community so much, I'm so excited to see where this goes!

[@juliomoraification]

All the experts have really nice smiles

Just now realizing that so many of the Indianapolis studio project sets are in a big square. You can see CC: Games, Mental Floss and the Art Assignment just in the interview scenes.

John! I also have issues with my sacroiliac joint (S.I.). I've been dealing with chronic pain because of it since a heavy injury in September 2015.

[@JohnLuna]

Celebrate Geek Omar Isuf has a fitness channel and he's been dealing with SI too if you're curious to check him out

[@amandabalogh7131]

I love how direct and honest this was.

[@irishgn08]

And so it begins! And I love Chris. He seems swell.

[@LyssandraNorton]

+ Agreed! Can't wait to learn along with this new person. I love when Complexly adds new faces to their shows.

[@NinjaNerdOG]

I had weight loss surgery 17 days ago and I'm planning on changing my lifestyle around drastically. I'm hoping this channel will help inspire me on the days I struggle. Thanks for doing this John!!

[@JohnLuna]

NinjaNerd007 glad to hear you want to change your life style. I wish you luck on your journey! btw if you'd like some more motivation I'm doing the same, trying to get back in shape 😊

[@TheLetterFifteen]

Nice Diet Dr. Pepper reference! Nice start to this series.

[@cleodello]

[@peytonsmith7358]

Throughout this series, I believe that our community should create an evolution of the puff, as the puff is ever changing.

[@LeileyWow]

Yay!!! Go John and Chris! You guys can do it :D

[@4mpersan]

Very excited and motivated to follow along! :)

[@greyareaRK1]

I like Laura's approach with the cross-discipline training (or whatever that's called). I'm using this as a replacement for my friend who refuses to consider anything other than an exercise cycle (and whom I'm a bit worried about). This would also be good for my mental health issues. Really happy I came across this.

[@lizardinabigwizardhat]

6:57 John I gotta say I love your shirt. So maybe watching this will inspire me to be healthier now so that I can enjoy a healthier lifestyle later on.

[@alewis2812]

Why is this so. dang. charming? This is funny, sweet and super relatable. Good on you, Mr. Green, for talking about fitness and mid-life changes as if they are adventures and not impossible obstacles full of failure. I am officially inspired.🙅🙅🙅👍

[@rebeccaoratto2537]

I'm hoping some of this will make its way into my life. That following along will help make a dent of impact.

[@austindrapen8959]

FINALLY! I have been waiting for what feels like forever for this!

[@samanthadickerson4721]

This is going to be fantastic. I am so excited.

[@actoutgames]

Good luck! We will be following along! You can do this!

[@ProcrastPerfection]

My better nutrition will have to wait until I'm back at the dorm and away from mom's comfort food. I'm excited to see where this goes!

[@darymarkova]

I love the fact that John is wearing a Rhett&Link t-shirt.

[@avonelledavis1728]

That good ole SI joint. I have had really bad issues with my right all through my teens and early 20s because of and injury. It can really make it hard to work out at times.

[@aboot2754]

I can't wait for Tuesday!!!

[@luglitter]

OMG Rhett and Link Tshirt! So cool

[@Isabellecomplete]

Oh man I am so excited about this channel! I am currently trying to have a healthy quarter life crisis - nothing like waking up at 25 and realizing that your metabolism is not what it used to be... I'm doing ok with the exercise but the diet is way harder for me so I'm looking forward to the recepies

[@lesliefoundhergrail]

Hey team! I thought I'd share my goals along. I've been working on the 52 Hike Challenge since July, and I've finished 20 hikes so far. I'm near the end of Couch 2 5K and I'm attempting my first official full run 5K on the 14th. After that..maybe 10K? Not sure. Food wise, making my own lunch at least 3 times a week to save money! Pumped to watch y'all experiment

[@cupcakewithouttheicing]

This was way more enjoyable than I expected it to be. Looking forward to it now

[@IstasPumaNevada]

I forgot this was coming, otherwise I would've been excited for January 1st to roll around. Looking forward to future videos.

[@Persnikity-yv3nh]

More info on microgoals would be cool - maybe someone (a viewer, etc) talk a bit about it in the community tab?

[@maureengoodwin8677]

The Jenna Pearl check out the team better app. Micro goals would be, I'm going to eat vegetarian today or I'm going to exercise for 10 minutes today. Just something to accomplish in a day. I have habits I want to form so I keep a list of things I want to do everyday. Hope this helps!

I've been looking forward to this new show for a while now. Excited to follow along. Thanks, John!

Hi John! Happy New Year!

[@igobykatherine8952]

Having slowly sort of seen the results on VlogBrothers I'm excited to watch this series!

[@taylorstrong]

this is gon be realllll cool to watch

[@martha_s]

I really enjoyed this and am looking forward to the series!

[@PatrickSpelman]

I have been really looking forward to this project since it was announced, I have been looking for more inspiration in becoming healthier for a while now, so hopefully this will be helpful especially on rainy days.

[@MattChapple]

I'm very excited for this. I'm a kinda fit guy but illness/Christmas/impending knee operation has left me feeling a bit crappy on the fitness front, so I'll be using you guys as motivation!

[@maxsilbert]

I'm so excited about this, just joined the gym and ready to make some changes!

[@francescamele8077]

Go John! Go Chris! You guys rock :D

[@onerandomnerdygirl2306]

[@thomaseddy1723]

love the Rhett and link shirt John!

[@deepseablu91]

I'm so excited for this!! :) You're awesome John!!

[@halahb4995]

I hope they do before and afters

[@Pilbaran00b]

I'm so excited for this, and to follow along!

[@keeperofdestiny]

Sounds like you guys are taking a lot on at once, I hope it doesn't become overwhelming and you find something you enjoy in each aspect which motivates yous to continue!

[@puddyt]

keeperofdestiny hence the microgoals conversation. They might have days where they meditate and exercise but eat like crap, but they achieve their microgoal. It breaks it into bight sized pieces

[@sarahannerodgers]

I'm really excited for this. I started making changes to my life in mid December but I know something like this is going to keep me motivated. I am also the focus on this is to make you healthy and strong and no how much you weigh. Thank you John and Chris!

[@ashleydah27]

Thank you so much for not considering today as day 1, I was worried about opening the video

[@emmabeckham1]

I ❤️ the Rhett and Link shirt!

[@nancyg7845]

Excellent! Looking forward to seeing how you are getting on. Happy new year!

[@karenmeador7807]

Micro-goals are supported very well with the SuperBetter book and app.

[@TimsVids1]

woo!! I'm so excited to see how this goes. We're rooting for you guys!

[@jennahs9960]

Im so excited to see how this goes

[@sereneharoon8501]

I'm really excited for this, and hoping it goes well. Happy NeYear, and Beat Wishea :)

[@jessherselfable]

Super pumped for this!! I've been doing something like this here and there all of last year so I'm looking forward to seeing what you guys do. I should probably incorporate meditation as well.

[@DonnaJulia]

I am so excited for this channel. I think this is going to be a great journey, and whether or not we are starting our own individual fitness plans, I cannot wait to see where we end up in 100 days. DFTBA

[@dummyinblue]

Really inspired by the micro goals thing, I think I'm going to try that. Good luck with your diet! It sounds rough

[@nicolealexis4512]

Ahh yes I've been waiting for this all day! Just finished my workout and I'm excited to do 100 days myself and start the new year off right.

[@scharfy]

I really hope John's Keeper headband becomes a staple of the exercise episodes.

[@paperwitch83]

I'll try to do this along with you guys and get inspiration from your videos :)

[@SeaSeekera]

I am so excited for this.(and also hope this helps me stay motivated as I try to work out a bit more)

[@jenniferlow9234]

I'm excited to start this! And I love your Rhett & Link shirt (I've just ordered it from dftba.com). 😃

[@Rithene]

Best of luck! Perhaps I'll try some of your recipes; definitely not doing any exercise not prescribed by my physical therapist.

[@MikeWheeler]

I am so excited for all of this.

[@luff4bewbz]

Can't wait to start this with you guys!

[@JohnLuna]

lottie 234 I'm on a journey to get back in shape myself if you want more motivation 😀

[@JohnLuna]

good luck John! getting back in shape is a big focus on my KZbin channel now. I share tips/what I'm doing, hoping to help and inspire a few out there 😊 I'm a recovering burn survivor and fitness is really important to me

[@JessicaLeighDeRemer]

You guys are so amazing for doing this!

[@npattie]

Curious where the dietitian stood on diet soft drinks

[@LyssandraNorton]

Same

[@mykadassano438]

Opposed I am certain, or there would've been a shot of her telling him he could have it and him rejoicing.

[@npattie]

Myka Dassano I imagine you're right. I know they aren't GOOD for you with the fake sugar, etc. But at 0 calories I'm curious if she was like "Well, there are definitely worse things..."

[@perryhotter4933]

Nicholas Pattie everything in moderation man! No diet should completely exclude anything, but instead of the normal 20 oz bottle or even the normal cans try to find the little 6 oz sodas and limit yourself to no more than 1 a day.

[@mykadassano438]

There is no health professional that would condone artificial sweeteners. They might allow it like "on a cheat day" or whatever. Fake sweeteners have been proven to decrease your metabolism and increase your "sweet tooth." MULTIPLE STUDIES have shown that people who drink artificial sweeteners actually lost LESS weight than people who just gave in and had a real soda. They tell your body that you are getting sugar, and you make insulin for it and then don't have any sugar for the insulin to handle. Which slows your metabolism and makes you CRAVE sugar more because your body is prepared for it and didn't actually receive any. Artificial sweeteners should ONLY ONLY ONLY be used by diabetics who cannot have sugar. There is NO other time when they are any good. That being said... alcohol, red meat, cheese, etc are all ALSO "bad" for you... so everything in moderation.

[@thewesternmoose8324]

I'm very excited about this!

[@misswilde3054]

John Green, I empathise so much with you you don't even know.

[@Astuar]

That motivated me, though I'm only 24. We'll all try to learn something from this. Good luck guys!

[@fromscratchauntybindy9743]

Oleksii Kolesnikov Get into it early - your future selves will thank you! DFTBA

[@DestinyFroste]

I have been thinking of finding a doctor the specializes in sports medicine for a while, as most of my issues stem from past and present sports related injuries. It was interesting to see the exam process.

[@ToniMorgan14]

I'm really excited for this!

[@philiptouw3623]

I'm excited for this! It seems like it'll be entertaining. Wonder how this will end up.

[@OAmoretNoctis1Izzy]

Excellent excellent!!!!!!!

[@AsherWitkin]

Great start! Keep it up. 😃

[@DisemboweledDragon]

So excited!

[@sandradevries3907]

John, you are wearing a quidditch headband. This means you must try quidditch. You must! (Seriously, it's like the most fun way to exercise apart from ice-skating and cycling, although, being dutch, I might be a bit biased there.)

[@jackmurray1715]

John's wearing a headband with the US Quidditch logo on it!

[@rebeccaleigh26]

Hey guys!! I'm going to try and join you for these 100 days. I got the fitbit, and I started using Insight Meditation app a couple of weeks ago. both are pretty good, and the meditation app is free. I hope we all achieve some of our goals this year, and aren't too hard on ourselves if we stumble... 😆😆

[@jeffbronson3696]

You guys should look at IFFYM. If It Fits Your Macros is the most effective dieting tool. Athletes, especially athletes that need to maintain or get to a certain weight class. Yes, you have a to count calories, but its the least mentally taxing dieting method and is sustainable for years (or even a lifetime) and perfectly tackles the problem of "rigid dieting".

[@amandabandrowski9948]

I also have SI joint pain (yes diagnosed) and I was wondering if could you add the exercises the doctor gave you so that I can compare them to the ones I have?

[@taliafore1578]

I'm so excited for this !!

[@Mongoz08]

i need these people. i want a lifestyle change but need $$$

[@michaelmcdaniel9052]

Can we please have more detail about the nutrition recommendations? What did she say about Diet Dr. Pepper? I'd always heard beer was worse than liquor for its impact on your blood sugar. I'd love to hear more about that, too! Are these oils for cooking or is this some sinister oil therapy thing? :) Thanks for letting us share the journey!

[@SaraAnneMiller]

I do WeightWatchers because I can eat basically unlimited fruits and veggies, which really works for me since I am vegetarian. Good luck, guys! You got this!

[@RowanElliss]

Could you guys please put warnings if you show puking? I would really really appreciate it! I'm looking forward to this series!
