My Embarrassing Story that Sparked My Weight Loss Journey | Ep.148

[@matthinson8782]

Three years ago, I was 300 lbs, I started eating right and exercising. I'm now 170. Weight loss is really a mental thing. Once you change your mindset about eating healthier, the weight will fall off. Edit: Down to 164lbs

[@shelleyl4117]

Great Job.

[@Starchild42]

Stellar job, Cam...I just hit 300 and I'm not as tall as you... Can they clone you?? Where is the video of you at that creepy house?!?

[@shellihenry8234]

Congratulations

[@theraweggfiles]

Not for everyone. I had weight loss surgery four years ago and have struggled with eating since then. I eat so little I've been hospitalized numerous times for malnutrition, and yet, I can't lose any more weight beyond the 128 lbs I've lost. I don't eat carbs or sugar or processed foods. I don't eat out or eat fast food. And yet, I can't lose weight.

[@ErinFromSydney]

Awww, Cam, what a heartbreaking story!! Also, 66 pounds means nothing to me here in Australia so I converted it to kilograms, my dude, that’s 30kgs!! That’s incredible!! Keep going forward!! And Zac, congratulations on your remission, what an amazing feat!!

[@E.Night6]

32:29 I have done the fasting & I will say that it SUCKS at first. However, it is truly mind blowing how much power your mentality has over your body. You begin to realize how much you would used to eat when your body physically reacts to not having food, but then your mentality with the fasting is able to help curve those habitual hungers that you had gotten your body used to & are now able to reprogram your body to want less and eat less

[@KaliCush]

My take on why keeping it simple and just walking with a healthy diet works. A lot of our time when we were hunter/gatherers walking was a majority of our daily activities. Walking to the hunting grounds, walking to the berries bushes or fruit trees. Walking was all we did, Usually on an empty stomach. Even going to the restrooom we had to walk a distance. They also did a lot of fasting throughout the year for religious purposes. Now that everything is brought to us, there is no need for walking great distances everyday. We have unbalanced our natural routine. Of course we do walk today but it's to get inside a vehicle for work or a store. Where we do barely any walking just to go back in our vehicle and drive home. Used to stress myself out with all this information on what I need to do to live a healthy lifestyle. One day I just started and kept it simple, walk with my dogs and lift some dumbbells. Shedding weight and keeping off is now easier. No unnecessary parkour acrobatic exercises lol. Long rant, thanks for reading.

[@honesttraitorbear3527]

Yeah that old saying eat less, move more. So much misinformation and gimicks out there designed to keep you heavy.

[@OrrisMom3]

Thank you Cam for opening up. After three babies I feel very alone in the weight loss space so you’ve actually peaked my interest in the fasting and walk space. Congratulations Zack! So happy to hear 💕💕💕

[@kwissing01]

I’m SO happy for you Cam! You look PHENOMENAL!!! I ended up getting to 412 and there was just SO much that I wasn’t able to do anymore. It holds you back SO much and sometimes you don’t even realize it until you lose weight and say “oh man, I miss being able to do this”. For me it was more of a hormonal thing that caused a lot of my over eating and weight gain. My doctor put me on some meds to help with over eating and then suggested I do bypass. I ended up listening to her suggestions. I had the surgery in May of this year and I am down to 265 lbs so far. I have a little less than 100lbs to go to get to my goal weight but it has been such an AMAZING journey. I love how I feel, I love how I look and I love that I’m able to just enjoy life again without my weight holding me back. Once again, I’m sooooo happy for you! ❤️❤️ I wish you nothing but success in the lifelong journey❤️

[@jodyrayvictor]

Dude, 66 lbs that is awesome, I went from 414 to 350. I still have a ways to go but you are doing great. Congratulations Zach, you shared your journey and it's giving me hope for my chemo journey

[@lindamorrison9755]

The fasting will help your body eat up the cancer cells. Look up Dr. Jason Li on fasting. Cam is really learning a lot about the body and how fasting helps. Dr Li has a podcast on Fasting, diabetes and cancer on you tube.

[@meganellis9386]

I love that Scarlet calls Cam “Big Guy”. That’s too funny. My son calls me either “sweetie” or “baby” 😂😂😂😂😂😂 I’ve never understood it. On a side note, I’m proud of you Cam with all your weight loss. I really need motivation to lose my own. I need to get 25 lbs off. Pray for me. ❤

[@jennysgran]

well done Cam ! I went to Singapore to visit son, it was so hot (few years ago) i decided my weight had to change , I done what you have and inside 3 year, I know it is a long time,I h ave lost nearly 6 stones,still doing it. I reversed type 2 , take no salt no sugar, came off BPmeds. and feel great, so keep going, way of life now.

[@SidneeCasi92]

I was over 200 at the end of my marriage and couldn't tell you how I got there. May have been a combination of things. Meds and stress and eating a lot because I was at home all the time. Well, luckily I shed all that including the awful marriage. Let's get into this! Glad you getting it done tho Cam! The story had me tearing up, but I love ya dude! U are killing the journey 🥰

[@Mnmsmamas]

I don’t like commenting of weight because you never know what someone is going through. But I have noticed how good Cam looks now!! So proud❤ definitely noticed it seemed like you have more energy!

[@honesttraitorbear3527]

I noticed too as I was catching up on videos. I was hoping it was on purpose and not a health scare thing. So happy to see people get healthy and start feeling better

[@honesttraitorbear3527]

Just heard the weight loss story. I know it's hard to go through that. I'm glad Cam is working on it and that it's working. ❤

[@nolonlindataylor1689]

Congratulations Zack. Awesome job Cam.

[@E.Night6]

43:35 For Tony, your metabolism slow down at night because your body is less active than in the mornings and afternoon. So, you don’t have to have to have healthy things for a snack, just limit how much you eat. Limit it to one thing

[@meganellis9386]

I’d still love a podcast including the wives. ❤❤❤❤❤ Maybe you guys can play never have I ever😂😂😂😂😂👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@Kelbeangirl93]

To your buddy Zach congratulations on being intermission on your cancer stuff my dad had cancer three times beat it twice but the third time took him home to heaven this September you have great friends love ya guys hugs to you all good on goal on weight loss cam and keep up the great work

[@juliev1043]

My condolences 💐

[@Kelbeangirl93]

@@juliev1043 thanks

[@christyyjames]

Hey guys! Love ya’ll! You probably didn’t even realize you were giving dad advice but you were, by saying you’ll exercise more with family, tuning down electronics and to be more in touch with nature. I loved every moment of this podcast!

[@sarahstorr]

Congrats to Zach and Cam. So pleased you are both doing so well ❤

[@honesttraitorbear3527]

Aw shit. I did NOT mean to find y'all. Now I know I'm just going to binge this now😅😅

[@sarahstorr]

“That’s what she says” was so quick 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@Brooksie603]

My youngest granddaughter was tongue and cheek tied and had to have that procedure done too. What a difference with eating after doing that.

[@annetteward2047]

This podcast was so good I had to watch again. Cam, your doing great on your weight loss journey, I can see the pounds just melting away

[@Brenda-x6x]

Cam, if you are losing weight for your health, then more power to you. But if you are losing because of what others think of you, then I’m sorry you feel you have to. Your heart and soul are so beautiful, it glows from within, and you are very handsome inside and out. I know people and see many daily that are so concerned with making their outside perfect, they neglect their inside, and their heart and soul are black and ugly. And that sludge oozes through to their outside. No matter what, you are you, and that’s pretty darn great. I wish you happiness always.

[@revloftis]

Cam. You are def an inspiration. Thank you for sharing your journey. Keep it up brother. Like many who have commented my journey is still ongoing. I started last May and as of Friday I am down 194 pounds. Just keep putting one foot in front of another. You got this. Can't wait to see where you end up. Its gonna be awesome. And to the rest of the comments who shared their journey way to go. Love seeing this. Let's go.

[@amandalarock4937]

Ty for being u and honest everyone struggles with that an I did but thank for just making me happy through my hard times

[@maxinenewton8071]

Cam your an inspiration, am suffering with depression after loosing my mother and best friends last year , am doing exercise at home but now listening to your story am going back to the gym and doing walking exercises thankyou so much for your encouragement 😊

[@gabriellefortier8733]

I'm so happy for you Cam about your weight loss. Keep it up! Are you guys going to do another episode about the assassination of JFK? Especially with the 60th anniversary of JFK's being killed. Thank you for another great episode of your podcast I really enjoyed it.

[@kristinelucas0906]

Nicolas Cage's movie is called Willy's Wonderland. Congratulations Zac on your remission!! Congratulations Cam on your weight loss! #fit A question for Zac, Tony, and Cameron how did you guys handle your daughters when they started their menses? Just curious if you guys handled it like my dad did, he hugged me then took me to dinner just us 2 (which I loved since I am the youngest of 6 girls).

[@E.Night6]

I love your vomlet episodes as much as I love you guys! 🖤 You all are all funny as individuals, and as a crowd 😆. Lol.

[@shellihenry8234]

So glad Zach is in remission, cam you look really good I'm also on my own weight loss journey in order to be healthier so keep up the hard work

[@sandyh7309]

Congrats Zach! Looking good Cam! #fit

[@alishariden2309]

I’m going to start walking and use the length of the podcast as a timer

[@FivesACrowd]

Wonderful idea!

[@natashaw401]

Cool idea

[@ashleymichael7581]

Yes Cam!!! Mindy Pelz is who you were referring to! I am also following her and fasting now. I'm down 20 lbs so far

[@theraweggfiles]

It's absurd how the companies in this country think humans are a one-size-fits-all species. Not everyone is size zero, and yet, chair manufacturers, airlines, theme parks, literally everywhere you go, things are designed for anorexics. Cam, I feel your pain even though I'm not plus-sized. You deserve better. We ALL deserve better.

[@rayleendavidson3289]

Well done cam for you're weight loss 🎉it's not an easy thing to do and you you're doing amazing! Please don't worry about you're daughter witnessing you're removal from the ride, I guarantee you as someone who's dad had a similar thing happen she was probably worried about you feeling bad and not thinking anything negative about you or you're weight 😊 good luck continuing you're journey ❤

[@teresagavin6893]

Jaunder is a word. It means idle talk, gossip, chatter. I googled it :)

[@lucillerenaud8114]

Jaunder is a real word. The definition is idle talk, gossip, chatter. Rambling conversation. To talk idly or in a jocular way.

[@FivesACrowd]

Thank you for having my back!

[@emmajames1084]

Nice one Cam, you're doing so well.

[@klsphotography1]

So happy for you Cam!!! I did similar thing last year by just moving more and stopping from snacking so much and lost about 10ths. But remember, intermittent fasting is literally just decreasing your calories.

[@bretanderson4747]

#fit -I love these so much! You are all so much fun to listen to, it is like listening to me and my besties. Congrats Zach and Cam. So excited for both of you.

[@tabithathompson5]

I have a eating disorder and I feel like such a failure. I see people judge me and I just cry on the inside. I'm getting on a plane next week and I am terrified of the looks I'll get...I've seen the clips of people being cruel to seeing a fat person...I'm 100lbs overweight and what if the seat belt doesn't fit? What if I get the knowing looks? O already have social anxiety (all my life) and I am sick just thinking about the flights. Anyway, it is very much a mental thing. I've had so much trauma in my life since childhood and my freaking coping mechanism is to eat. Hate myself for it. I'm proud of you, Cam. You are doing great!

[@ashleyparse5327]

If you don't think the seat belt will fit, you can ask the attendant as you walk on for an extender, or as they come by checking belts.

[@shelleyl4117]

Great job on the weight loss Cam.

[@NorwayMamma1]

You're doing a great job, Cam! Keep it up! And way to go, Zach!!! Love and hugs from Norway!

[@cindimonks5661]

Sauntered down to the comment section to see if anyone else went for a jaunt. 😂

Congrats 🥳 cam your doing great 👍🏻 Zac delighted to hear the good news 🎉 I have a bet on what I think Chris news is so will be waiting for the next one 😮 stay safe guys x

[@ashleyparse5327]

way to freakin go Cam!!!!! Is there a way you could update us on the 36 hour fast? I would love to do it with you in support!! I think it would be really cool!!!

[@aydencole2987]

Way to go, Cam, and keep it up!!

[@ladydubhblossom]

chuckee cheese is a huge inspiration to the five nights at freddies franchise. the animatronics and the fact that the one of the original locations in CO did have a murder happen inside the building. apparently they also don't like to talk about five nights at freddies stuff, so its apparently banned on all their SM and locations. (not sure if its really true) i wouldn't be surprised if they removed the animatronics, there creepy already even before Scot created the series.

[@tammyflanigan6218]

#fit Congrats Cam on your journey, you are very inspiring to others

[@karend4055]

I love the Vomllets too. I think we all do.

[@cindypettiss5355]

My husband (53) lost about 40 lbs doing intermittent fasting. His times are 10:00 am to 7:00 pm. If he goes past 7pm he adds that time to the morning.

[@TheLadymoonstone]

Austin's new word Jonder meaning group of men on to much coffee. LOL Cheers from the pacific northwest.

[@glenda.thegoodwitch]

The other day my friend did a bank deposit for me. She sends me a voice message Dude why does the drive through ATM have brail on it???? Anyway I deposited the $420. For you love you by-eeee.😂😂😂I I choked on my coffee. Benn then thought the samething....why is their brail on a drive through ATM🤔😅🤣😅

[@danichan913]

Jaunder is a word, by the way. Not sure how Cam was spelling it. It's an old Scottish word meaning idle talk, gossip, or chatter.

[@FivesACrowd]

THANK YOU!!!! I knew I wasn't that crazy!

[@TheScarletEnygma17]

Cam, be grateful you have never been mistaken for being pregnant. It is the most infuriating thing I have ever experienced from another human being. I have been mistaken for being pregnant three times in my life. Once was an intentional insult by a skinny bith and her dumb friends, the other two times were genuine mistakes, which made me feel even worse! I don’t even weigh that much! I just don’t gain any fat in my butt! # EndSkinnyCulture

[@haileenichole9321]

I’ve lost 75 pounds by water and intermittent fasting and I also just got diagnosed with diabetes so I’ve also just started a low carb low sugar diet and my sugar is now down to semi normal ranges but way better than the number it was when I went to the doctor

[@scarlettd5688]

Been there on the rollercoaster 😢 so embarrassing.

[@Starchild42]

Cam...my ex and I went to, I think, universal in Orlando...outside the ride they had a seat like the ride and you could see if you would fit...it was like hidden and you just get on it and see...I think I had to not ride a couple of rides, but they were discreet about it and there was a line for the seat...you are looking good 👍👍

[@jessicafromtexas2868]

Truly the best love this group of guys #Fit

[@redizrad]

Society eats so much. 3 meals a day plus snack throughout the day. Digestion is the most taxing thing your body has to do. Your body needs time to digest all that food but most people never give their body the chance to do what it needs to since they are in a constant state of eating. Ideally we should eat in a 10 hour eating window and don't eat 3-4 hours before you plan to sleep so the body has all that time to do its job. Hydration is also important as must people are very dehydrated.

Wow, Cam! Congrats on the weight loss!! I'm starting my weight loss journey, too! I've been using herbalife products and I'm down 40lbs! I couldn't have done it without it!! Now I live on it! I have a shake for breakfast and a shake for lunch. And herbalife has been recognized as diabetes prevention!

If anyone reads this i understand how embarrassing stuff can be Cam i got fat shamed all my life n one thing that will always stick with me is one of my teachers in first year of high school shaming me. I was simply doing my thing in morning before classes drinking a chocolate milk n i remember him just looking at me and saying dont you think your too big for drinking that n as in big he was aiming at my weigh n no i wasn’t overweight or anyth

Hi guys! I just discovered your channels (both this & MTv-super clever name btw) & I was wondering if you guys are fans of Mythical (Rhett & Link/Good mythical morning) & if you've met? Were you just inspired by the set designs & style of their content? I'm a proud mythical beast (I have been for 8+ yrs)💜 I know a lot of youtubers draw inspiration from other channels so I'd love to hear about your journey becoming creators! Sending you lots of love from Newnan Ga & I look forward to bingewatching all of your content! Gotta represent & show my appreciation for all "internetainers"! I hope I get a response bc I'm excited to learn all about each of you!
