Yes my volume when training has gone up a lot, and I can withstand way more work and weight, so I am def getting stronger, but I am also addicted to weighing myself everyday, and when I don't see that numberr go down, or instead go up in the mornings, it destorys me...

I did almost exactly the same things you did on my own weight loss journey two years ago. I cut out most of my food, especially the carbs, and ate almost nothing. Coffee always kept me away from eating. I went from 85kg to only 55kg in a bit more than a year completely without doing any sports or exercise. I was massively underweight but still not happy with my body. I put on a few kilos the year after but didn't change any of my exercise habits. That all changed about four months ago. I went on my first ever run and got a gym membership. I now train nearly every day, am able to run a half marathon in decent time and changed the way I look at food. All of that helped me gain about 15 Kilos in the last 12 months, mostly muscles. All of that being said, our journeys are incredibly similar and you are a great idol of mine.

[@Xoulrath_]

My ex-wife and I separated back at the beginning of 2012. One of the reasons for us deciding to call it quits was our different take on health and fitness. Prior to that, I smoked and ate poorly and I wasted my 20s. But even prior to that, I was actually a very physically active person, working out, running, and playing sports on a daily basis. So in 2012, after we separated, I got back into working out and eating right seriously. In fact, I did so too seriously. I worked out 6 days a week, and ate as little as possible. I ended going from 287 to 203 in about two months. But I lost a considerable amount of muscle in the process. I was doing some push-ups one day. I had gotten myself back up to 5 sets of 20. This particular day I'm doing them, and I'm on like set 2, and I struggled to get to 9. It took me a minute, but then I realized that I'd worked out so hard and eaten so little, that my muscle was being consumed by my body to fuel itself. Oops. There is definitely a right way and a wrong way to lose weight. I got back on track, regained the muscle and got to my normal healthy weight of between 230 and 250. Ten years later I'm still doing great.

Been watching you forever Will, and I'll say I'm proud of how far you've come, and how much more potential we have yet to see you unlock. Keep going my bro!

[@TedsWorld101]

You’re my favorite fitness nut on KZbin! I’m amazingly down about 50lb from my all time high of 277. I’m shooting for a goal of 180 (ideally mainly muscle) by mid Feb. Tennis is my main chick and the food scale is my side chick. They don’t know about each other, but they both are helping me along. Let’s get to that goal!

[@TedsWorld101]

I managed to make it down to 219, but, like my finances, the short term success weakened my focus and now Im back to about 224. Hoping to do another 5-10 lbs this next month.

[@brendowilly4648]

I'm 13 and I've begun to lose weight and you are really helping me. Thank you Will. I'm gonna be healthy like you.

[@audiod12]

Hey man - we actually went to the same HS and I remember you from back then. Thank you so damn much for all the content you pump out. I've gone through 2 ankle/foot surgeries over the past 2 years and your videos helped me with my mental/physical health. I was encouraged to start cooking more because of the recipes you put out too. Keep pluggin' away man!

[@arastoomoradi6365]

tell us some stories about will if you got any, Maybe about that boston trip if you were there, also hope everything is good now and gets better in future.

[@MahiWillTry]

Hey Will, I really enjoy it when you give some insights into your past disordered eating, it's especially relatable as I'm also somebody who is trying to improve my body composition and strength. Sometimes it feels like men don't really have a voice for these kinds of issues, and I think this is a starting point for that to change. I've recently been struggling with this on my cut, and I clearly still have a lot of mental gains to make.

[@Sonny-o1p]

It’s been over a year since this video was released, but KZbin recommends must’ve been looking out for me. I’ve been struggling with my health/weight loss balance since high school, and now I’m finally at a comfortable and progressive place. Not afraid of full fat, high protein, or carbohydrates. Recently though I feel like I’m resorting back to bad habits because I’ve become impatient and unsatisfied with the speed of my journey. I want it to be like magic. So this video was an amazing wake-up-call. I can really see my past self here, and it’s frightful. I really appreciate you, Will. I don’t want to go back to starving myself and stepping on the scale like every time I do an angel gets it’s wings or something. I’m going to try to look at it in a larger scale like you said: monthly, yearly even!

[@sjwestmo]

Thanks for sharing your dark days and the difference between then and now. I’m loving your channel!

[@elkedekievit732]

I have an ed and this is extremely close to it, the cardio, coffee, coke etc. the only difference is that you stopped when you reached a still healthy weight

[@butteredtoast12]

Seeing him step on the scale with shoes on made my whole body go tense

[@faith9196]

@@isg2371 this. A lot of “diets” end up being eds and people don’t realize it. There’s a quote from a poem that’s something along the lines of “when a skinny person gets an ed, they’re sick. When a fat person gets one, they’re a success story.”

[@Beemmeupz]

Crash dieting is not mental illness. It's just a bad decision. People with eating disorders can't/don't just stop once they reach a healthy weight

[@sybrandwoudstra9236]

I know someone who wanted to weigh 35 kilograms (bmi of 13.5). She showed me when she weighed 42 kilograms and she looked ugly on those pictures. She looked much better at an normal weight when I met her which was 55 kg or something.

[@juanarisso1704]

Oh he definitely had an ed, no doubt about it

[@mralek15]

Absolutely love your content! I have been a personal trainer and coach for many years, but also had many years of disordered eating (anorexia/binging etc) weight training has brought much of the same balance to my life! It is so refreshing that you focus on Heath and how different we all are, rather than “do what I do to look like me”’

[@juliemcglade5697]

Great sense of humor you have, hey, will you ask your mom to do a step by step in your videos how she preps and grills her veggies they look great!

[@Anasuper1850]

i've watched you channel for a while now through different stages of my ed and even though i already know your story i keep learning new life lessons and i always appreciate how transparent you are. you rock dude

[@marydarling88]

This reminds me of my eating disorder days. My heart goes out to you. I'm glad we're both in a better place now dude!

[@JoysBeautyJawns]

The fact that you used to hate yourself breaks my heart because you are someone so worthy of love. I get it tho - we are truly all our own worst critics. So happy that you are happy now ♥️ and thank you for inspiring me to be happy and healthy as well! 💜💪

[@Promise2018]

Thank you for this video. I used to be just like you! I was anorexic, bulimic, and exercise obsessed. I lost 80 pounds. Now after years of therapy I’ve realized that I can be healthy. I don’t have to focus on my looks just because I want to be fit. I’m currently just now realizing I’m a total binge eater, so I’m helping myself to get away from that. I’ve gained 110 pounds from my low weight. But I’m eating healthy, not overdoing my body during workouts (I learned to do that at the gym), and I’m going to be fit and healthy for the first time. I’m really working towards doing this all for me and not focusing on my weight. I hate what you went through, but I love knowing I’m not the only one. ❤

[@ffseleanorrr]

When I was 16 a similar thing happened to me. I would start my day with a peppermint or green tea with a bowl of cereal, then only eat unbuttered bread for lunch with maybe an apple or a banana, and then I would eat something small for tea like a bowl of cereal again and I never felt hungry. I lost 3 stone in 3 months but I became obsessed with the weight on the scales. I exercised so much that I bruised my coccyx bone and couldn’t lie down on my back for a long time. A year after, I never felt full and I would drink chamomile tea to try and get myself to sleep as the hunger pains were so severe. I gained the 3 stone back from a binge eating disorder, which my family helped me recover from. I’m very lucky and thankful that my family were supportive the whole time I went through this. 6 years later I’m starting to exercise again and I’m loving taking it at my own pace, not to lose weight, but to feel stronger in myself. I also eat what I want when I want. And I’ve never been happier.

[@RaoBrandon]

Really awesome to see that he was honest about how hungry he really was and the mistakes me made along the way. A lot of influencers would take their progress as a chance to show off!

[@jessicalovesluxedesignerfa3806]

Really needed this today. So glad I found your channel. A weight loss 'journey' is such a weird thing for me now in my late 30s, as my teens were made up of as little food as I could eat / get away with no one noticing. Doing a 48 hour fast that I kind of 'fell' into, and it brings back a lot of those reminders / feelings. I've been on a medically-recommended 800 calorie a day Huel diet 5 days a week for 11 weeks. I'm below 180lb for the first time in a decade, but I can so easily fall into the mindset of "not enough, not enough". Grateful for you showing that you could've lost the weight in a more healthy way. Thank you for sharing your story.

[@resentfusion5634]

It started with the leanbeefpatty collab but then I watched a shit ton more vids and I'm loving it. The humor is so refreshing.

[@Plawdog]

I’ve been losing weight about 9 months now! Going slow and steady but I’m 53 pounds down and Tenny Boi gives me inspiration every day to continue!

[@ashtonsands1965]

Let me say, you have 100 percent helped me better myself with my ed. I’m so thankful, plz keep doing you and making this amazing content man!🙏🏻🖤

[@armandoherrera7605]

Hey Will. I wanted to say that you really help me out a lot with my weight loss journey. I have yet to reach my goal but I’m still working on it. I was 310lbs and now I’m 269lbs. My goal is 210lbs and I never saw myself fit. I’m 6ft tall and I can slowly see my stomach shrinking along with the muscle slowly growing. At the end of the video really got me when you said you were doing things for other people, because I was doing my weight loss for other people such as impressing girls to find me attractive and having family members to stop saying that I’m big. I hated myself and I was in a dark state in mind. Now I’m slowly loving myself by seeing the changes in my body and seeing my mood change where people notice that I am much more happier than I once was. Maybe you might not see this comment now maybe not at all, but keep doing what you do. Also I love the adult jokes :) Thank you.

[@mateaukalua4426]

Bro I know it's hard and congratulations on your weight loss journey. I come from the same background.

[@bunnybae9365]

Congrats, just keep going Am on a similar journey started 312 and am currently 280, still a very long way to go

[@expressreallife1992]

You are so funny. I really needed this humorous take on a weight loss journey - with great results at the end of the day! :) Awesome.

[@fearsomezq]

I really hope you realise how great your advice and outlook on fitness health is. Videos are always entertaining and keep you engaged which is very important especially for people struggling to get there health better. Keep it up man!

[@brenamagdalena11]

Completely hooked on your videos and binged a dozen in a row after them being recommended several weeks ago. Even with not being interested in fitness, your personality is amazing and entertaining. The low key, witty, tounge in cheek jokes you throw out remind me of Bo Burnham. Thank you for being a humble inspiration for others who need it.

[@zeloshoxgaming6538]

Love your content Will, and your openness about your journey and everything you’ve gone through.

Thanks Will ❤ I needed to hear that last part! Appreciate what you do for the fitness community

[@ohh4643]

I’m coming out of pretty bad sickness and I’ve noticed my body image have started deteriorating as a result. I still can’t do intense exercise or see anyone without risking getting sick again (doctor’s orders…) and it’s frustrating not being happy with my body but not being able to safely get back into routine. I especially appreciate Will’s openness around healthy weight loss and body image right now, helped me refocus on what I can do in the here and now to better my position.

[@lalaydade3364]

Will, please do a how to start weight loss journey for people with little knowledge video. It would be very helpful to see a "compacted guide for beginners" video by Will. Thanks for all the inspo with humor on the side! Happy New Year!

[@juansostre456]

as a wrestler the weight on the scale basically needs to dictate my life cause my coach might end it if I don't make weight

[@ducati135]

Back in the day, we used to put on plastic coated “sweat suits” and get rolled up inside the wrestling mat to make weight. Reflecting back on how dangerous that was, I hope that’s not a thing anymore. Also, starving yourself before weight in then gorging before the match was really counterproductive.

[@juansostre456]

@@ducati135 that’s not just back in the day my friend

[@sunshineyellow707]

This was truly helpful! To see how you would eat the same food, but make little changes - that's what it's all about!

[@tiranecat6865]

5'5 Female- When I was 18 I wanted to join boot camp. I weighed 210 and needed to weigh 160 or less to ship. I was able to do it in THREE MONTHS... but same as you. Not a "oh wow!!" but an, "oh.. wow" My routine started as - Breakfast- egg and half a banana. Snack- tiny apple Lunch- salad w/ maybe 2-3 ounces of chicken Dinner- tilapia and broccoli or green beans I started out walking, then walk jogging the block, until I was jogging a mile out and a mile back. Eventually I got a gym membership and went to the gym twice a day. Never touched free weights, I was too afraid.. I used the row machine and treadmill. I lost 50lbs and shipped to boot camp. That shit was NOT maintainable

I have lost 20lbs on scale. But much more in body fat over these past 6 months. And i feel great everyday. Seeing how you (we) were back then being overweight. Its just amazing. I remember having to go to the doctor every month just to check up on me for being overweight. Now I eat what I want (bulking) and loving the gym.
