That's what I call a big Loss 🤦😅

Such a loser

Ooof, hard dad joke 😂

[@bflex89]

started 32 stone now im down to just above 27, my goal is 22 at the moment. you are a big inspiration Loz

[@BigLozOfficial]

Keep going buddy. Good work so far

[@kanyexwentzxcore]

I’m getting back into it after two months off. Was in the best shape of my life and lost a lot of it. Could have excuses, but I was just lazy. Owning up to it. This is a big inspiration to remain back at it!!

[@KateErrington]

Your video just popped up as a suggestion and I had to watch. Loz, massive well done you look awesome and you must feel so much happier and healthier. Congrats. Fixing a bad relationship with food can be so difficult and as you said, takes TIME. Well done mate 👏🏻

[@BigLozOfficial]

Thank you Kate. I'm feeling so much better in myself and keeping up with the kids is so much easier haha. Hope you are well. Happy new year

[@tonyK_72]

WHat a great bloke. Always knew he was a nice fella but this shows what a genuinely nice fella is. Love this video. And inspiring to me.

[@Sicram]

Amazing video. I turned 50 last year and have been going to the gym to some degree since I was 15, but I am a bad foodie. Pringles, Chicago Town stuffed crust and a tub of B&Js would be a walk in the park for me for tea. I had a goal to hit 200kg deadlift x3 by the end of last year but I knackered my knee, BUT I also set 120kg x10 on flat bench, which I did just before the end of December. Two years ago that was at 95x10. I'm done with pushing the weights up though so I'm going to work on weight loss and fitness this year and hit the TRT in a couple of months. Prescribed, nothing dodgy. Daughter's wedding in May 2024 is my target date and I'd like to shift at least 2 stone, if not more. Little steps and achievable goals so I don't lose faith and get the pizzas cooking. Great work Loz.

[@richfricker3468]

Cheers loz, I've realised everything you said applies to me ...... depressed , eat , bored , eat .... no control .. . .. took control when my kidneys packed up due to diabetes ... I was a 140 + class powerlifter with some descent numbers ...... at my heaviest I was 175 kilos ..... dropped to 98 kilos ... back up to around 110 now , but back at it today thanks to watching your video last night . So easy to slip back into bad habits . Interesting comment about TRT , I'm 61 and been looking at that . Cheers

[@TorchRed99FRC]

You look Great! I just started my Journey. Thanks for more motivation.

[@seamusgallagher4316]

Well done on your monumental weight loss and Fitness gains, keep up the great work, thanks for sharing, Seamus

[@BrockGrimes]

I've always been fit and could pack on muscle easy. After covid, an accident where my shoulder needed operating on and bicep reattached, covid again..... i'm in poor shape, it's been a little over a year of sitting on my ass. It's good to see you say things take time, you just have to get after it.

Great stuff Loz, well done!....never heard being homeless given as a reason for over-eating but that just adds to the legend. Top stuff!

I think it is great that you are looking to a new chapter in your journey in strongman. I am glad to see that there is a purpose ,and you did not just let yourself become immobile or unhealthy. Glad to watch the transformation,and see how excited you are

Great job Loz! Looking good!

[@jontc1]

Good job man 💪

[@alcole1k178]

You're an inspiration Loz!! Huge congrats! If I could have asked one question, I would ask you: In retrospect, seeing Thor and Shaw and Hall (and you) going down from 400+ (or so) with seeing someone 'smaller' like Novikov consistently winning comps at 'only' 300, what would be the revised 'sweet spot' for strongman as now 'bigger isn't better'? Funny on how Hollands shed a ton of weight and announced a comeback...

[@dantaylor6948]

Thanks big man ! Amazing again ! But also very honest as always with everything you said cheers man x

[@stingking1173]

Hands down a leader and a legend from the sport even after bowing out your a inspiration to many so thank you big Loz

[@triggerjim13]

Seeing you at Clash last year, you looked in damn good shape. Hopefully will get a chance to see you guys again this year. Really proud of you meeting your goal.

[@chrisself89]

“If Liz doesn’t get me that ice cream cake, there will be HELL to pay!”... Sooo funny! You, my friend have had a similar journey as myself(I’m just not famous)... But to you and your beautiful wife; love you both for the commitment to strongman and to your spouses... Thank you for such great content! Keep up the good work!!! Love all that you do!

Well done man. Not an easy thing to do and I have been inspired, you should be proud.

Hey Loz, are you still pursuing armwrestling? We'd love to see another supermatch, or even some tournaments.

[@michaelholder98]

And I can totally relate to your relationship with food my man. Very common and awesome to see you talking bout it very objectively and matter of factually. Great role model Loz. You're awesome Man - Marine Mike 🇺🇸 💪

Thank You Loz. Feel more motivated after watching this. 👍

Loz even being 90% on strength while being much lighter is a threat to many podiums/top fives

[@gymjunkiecrypto]

HEALTH IS YOUR WEALTH....

[@ashlfc4eva]

I can relate to a lot of what you’ve said! I lost 8 stone (50.8kg) in 12months, I also lost muscle mass as I wasn’t educated enough on what to do in order to retain as much muscle mass whilst losing weight

[@chrismcclagish8209]

Great job loz, I'm a hairy mf too but I shave for the summer and grow for my winter coat 😃. Doesn't matter what other people think as long as you are comfortable within yourself. Look forward to seeing you compete in the new year. And thanks for all your content! 👍👊🏋‍♂️💪

I cant judge. I know a lot of guys that like their men smooth.

[@JS-zi5gt]

Good one Big Loz, nice to see you mention good old Testosterone, you strongmen need to discuss drug use like bodybuilders are doing such as Fouad Abiad for education purposes.

[@johnnyherbert7840]

Well done m8 👏 🎅💪👍

[@saltblade3392]

Hi Loz. I'm shocked about the TRT use. Do all strongmen take it?

[@GlassSP]

Great work! LOZ where the heck can we watch WSM 2022. I still can’t find anything anywhere online :( Can’t believe there is so little info on it! Thanks man keep up the great work!

AUNTIE LIZ, PLEASE!!! DO NOT let Lozzie shave his body hair!!! And the beard stays. Guys reading this; sure shave the back and shoulders. But, for the love of all that is holy, STOP shaving your arms, legs and chest. That hair is super masculine and SEXY AF!! Unless you’re competing in bodybuilding and the comp is very soon, leave the hair alone.

[@grantwalker4555]

Hey Loz, Thank you for making this video. This year myself I've lost 70lbs (238>168 at 5'11") and I found myself grinning from ear to ear this entire video because the process for me was exactly the same and you hit the nail on the head for every piece of advice. I had tried so many times in the past to make the change only to fail due to diving into a super restrictive lifestyle that was unsustainable for me. You are 100% correct about the key being to find a plan that is sustainable and focusing on progress vs perfection and being able to accept it is not an overnight change. And I hope those watching are able to take those words to heart and apply them. It takes time. It takes discipline. And it takes a lifestyle change that you can be consistent with and, most of all, enjoy. I usually don't comment on videos but I truly hope this video reaches as many people like us as it can, so I am.

[@Jorian1107]

Congratulations man! Good work and thanks for the tips

[@daringlisson9353]

Congratulations on the changes. I too made that change 12 years ago. I went from 500+ pounds to 355lbs in about a year and a half. I’ve gained some back but trying to get back to focusing on my goal weight of 300 pounds

[@heythere1900]

It's very brave you speaking about eating disorders in times of depression. I was 8kg down from my all time heaviest and had gained 25kg from 2020-2022. I'm now back up to that larger weight due to some depressive moments in my life. As you say it's comfort, it feels so good at the time but I'd look at the scale and be more depressed. So well done uncle Loz on your amazing accomplishment mate. Merry Christmas to you and your family ❤️

[@Jorian1107]

Come one man, I believe that you can do it too! I myself am too heavy and planning to lose some weight (depending on how I feel probably around 20-25 kg), let's enjoy the grind together my friend!

[@parisferguson8654]

This is a further demonstration of what an authentic personality in strongman you are. You’re so likeable and why you’re so well followed in strongman. A true inspiration. I appreciate the explanation about strength loss then the body getting used to the lighter weight as one of my fears. I’m like so many starting a journey this year hoping to drop weight and improve my health markers.

So much respect for being so transparent, especially about TRT. Completely ignoring the subject can do more harm than good I think

[@lephtovermeet]

Thank you for being open about your T use. I wish more people would do this. I mean no disrespect. I think it's totally different in vs out of competition and I see nothing wrong with men, as they age, using reasonable amounts of medically prescribed T.

[@maxgreen2309]

If you lived near me I'd kill for advise in the gym like I feel like are body types eating habits are somewhat similar and out of all the videos I've seen this one resonates with me most. The honesty is brilliant I'm actually a fan after this video I knew about you before obviously but yeah brilliant video.

[@steveparrish6288]

Congratulation! It seems we were on the same journey, I have gone from 306 lbs to 191 lbs since Jan 2021. It's been rough (especially in my 60's). I work out 60 to 120 minutes a day, I probably hurt every part of my body while working out these past 2 years, but I feel really good now. Congratulations again!!

I am happy to hear it took 2 years, and you did it to be healthy. I started my weight loss journey April 2021, got to 96lbs down. With weight lifting I stay right about there, up and down but mainly right around that 96 off. Really Really want to hit the 100-120 down.

Great video as always! Glad you aren't saying it's a quick fix. Love you guys!

[@chrissams228]

What you said about changing your relationship with food really hits home for me. Its the thing I have found most difficult with in my journey from over 18 stone in 2019 with slow progress to where I am now at 13 stone. Some days as you said i eat way too much and hate myself for it while putting more food in my mouth. It's my constant struggle. It's strange to say but I'm glad other struggle too and it's not just me. You have done amazing and are a true inspiration. Thank you.

Well done Loz, I’ve lost 40kg switching from strongman/powerlifting training to CrossFit while still incorporating strongman, powerlifting movements. Would you ever go and film a workout with Gary Taylor now he’s into CrossFit being as fit as you are now? Would be cool to see. Back in the day it was Gary who got me into training.

[@parkergunn7723]

I started my weight loss journey in August of 2022. I started at 356lbs (161kg). In January 2023 I'm sitting at 325lbs (147kg). I'm super happy to have lost 30lbs (13kg), but I'm really struggling mentally because I just want to lose 25lbs (12kg) to meet my * first * weight loss goal of being 300lbs (136kg) on my birthday in February 2023. With Thanksgiving/Christmas/New Year holidays I'm still trying to un-do the suboptimal eating habits I had on these occasions... I'm trying to change my outlook, but all I can think is how much further along I WOULD be in my journey if I had not been so gluttonous during the holidays. Like you, I'm just trying to make lifestyle changes. No resolutions, just truly wanting to be a better person than before. Thank you for sharing your journey, your honesty, and reminders of improving each day. I look forward to seeing more of your journey and I can't wait to share my successes with you as well. Cheers!

Would you recommend strongman workouts while on a caloric deficit For a obese person like myself? Such as farmer walks, barbell squats, and atlas stone? I'm 350 trying to get down to 240

[@HonkeyKongLive]

It's a crazy reminder of how big pro strongmen are that Loz lost that much, and got that lean, and still weighs over 270 LMAO

[@RedPilledRants]

It seems to me that the problem with TRT is, fat cheeks. All these guys are running around with ripped bodies, big shoulders, but their faces look fat. I'd rather have my face look chiseled, then not. That's part of the working out aesthetics. But the TRT I can spot somebody taking it right away just look at the chubby cheeks.

I got up to 210 pounds from 190 at 6ft4 once by taking creatine, lifting weights and consuming 6000 calories every day for a month. I couldn't imagine weighing 270 pounds. At that weight you could probably eat 6000 7000 calories a day and not gain weight. You wouldn't have to restrict your diet at all. I know when I was eating 6000 calories a day I was constantly really full. It wasn't easy.
