Wow, great video! Congrats 💪🏼
Hey graham!!!! Love tour videos
I’m happy you are happy Alex! You’ve got this!
❤️❤️❤️ thank you so much!! Thanks for all your support behind the scenes (:
Ooooo Macy in the comments section!!!
I’m so incredibly proud of you dude, weight loss is a turbulent journey but the only way to make that journey is happen is by starting. You’re already there, can’t wait to see your progress into becoming the best person for yourself :) 🖤
Thank you so much (:
So happy for you! Let’s keep going! I started at 340 and I’m currently at 270, a good diet, water only, and light cardio (walking) will do wonders!
Let’s go!!!
Respect man. Cheering you on!
Thanks!!!
Alex, from another brother that recently started his own weight loss/healthy lifestyle journey. Thank you for uploading this. I wish you the absolute best.
P.S: Don't underestimate the power of walking. Getting those 10k steps a day does make a huge difference. Physically and mentally. "if you can't spring, jog, if you can jog, walk". Little by little you get better.
LETS GOO!!!
@@AlexanderNava u can do it!
@@AlexanderNavayou can do it bro
This is really cool. Thank you for putting something out like this. I deeply relate and understand every moment of this. I have for sure dealt with this in a pretty radical way and got to my own personal limit (250) on April 4th of this year and after dropping 25lbs I was able to get the confidence to be on camera again for my own RUclips channel. I am still on my journey. About 20lbs left for me before I’m at comfort weight. I have the curse and the blessing of being tall (6’4) so I can get pretty heavy without people noticing too much. Anyways, I’m rambling. Good luck pal, you got this! The Progresspics subreddit is an incredible community for encouragement btw!
Thanks so much!! I totally understand your struggles as well. That’s also why I haven’t wanted to film! You got this!
In world where there is constant pressure to accept over size people , you come out and speak to how dangerous it is as addiction. Something I can really appreciate because we shouldn’t encourage that kind addiction and “ accept it” by offering two free seats in airline for example. I truly wish you best in your journey. You seem like a really nice person.
Talking about your biggest insecurity takes guts making a video about it for the world to see takes balls! Congrats man on bettering yourself and wanting better for yourself just keep going you got this! Greatness isn’t temporary it’s a lifestyle!!💪
Thanks so much!! I can’t wait to show the world the new me!
That’s awesome to hear man! And track your progress take pics every day and rely on the scale unless you’re already doing so.
Takes a lot to put that all out there for the world to see. Mad respect man. ❤️
You’re already off to an amazing start man keep grinding!!! 🙌🏼
Thanks so much man!!! Means a lot!!
Mad respect to you for fighting for your dreams and health!
Your vulnerability is incredible. Thank you for sharing your story and journey. Women are sometimes the focus for eating disorders and weight loss, but we forgot that so many men share this burden as well. This is so amazing, I’m excited to see your continued progress !
I am also dealing with severe binge eating disorder and food addiction. I recently just gained 28 lbs in only 8 weeks from binging. I am hoping to finally overcome this and uploaded my first video about it which was very hard to do. I will be following your journey as well and I hope we can both overcome this.
So proud of you Alex!! We are rooting for you. Don’t look back and keep going forward!!
Keep it going! You are the best part of the ice coffee hour podcast ! You got this
Thanks Patryk!!
You can tell that Alex put a lot of his soul into this video, good luck Alex so happy for you!
Yes, it really shows.
This is very motivating. I can't wait to watch your progress and would love to see some videos of you flying a plane or paragliding one day.
Thanks so much (: that would be amazing!!
youre taking the first steps to defeat your demons! imagine all the better life you can live with a healthy body!! much love alex.
This video was really well done and a great reminder of the things in life we may take for granted.
I’m rooting for you! 💪
Thanks so much Jasmine!
I’m going through a weight loss journey as well right now. Started at 223 and I need to loose 83 pounds. I started 4 weeks ago, and I’m down 12 pounds so far. Thank you so much for being an amazing inspiration to me, and all of us on RUclips. We love you!❤ And we believe in you!❤
This is very brave and I just want to say this is motivational for me as I’m starting my weight loss journey of being 400+ lbs. I have some of the same insecurities ( I have been kicked off rollercoasters for not fitting and I always feel embarrassed asking for an seat belt extension on flights) and my journey has been up and down but I just want to say thank you for using your platform and being transparent. Can’t wait to see your progress!!!
I’m proud of you Alex. I do that too. Whenever I feel depressed (haven’t been diagnosed by a doctor), I eat a lot. You’re gonna make it !
Thanks for this. I got up to 400, and I lost 63 pounds. The last couple weeks I relapsed, and today was the worst. I ate 3 Wendy's triple's. I feel so ashamed, and disappointed in myself... but thank you for reinforcing me with your story. I'm ready to get back on the wagon.
You absolutely got this! I’ve had my struggles too. But just know you aren’t alone!
I've been a bigger guy since I was a kid, and it very much appreciate and love this video. I'm still struggling to improve my relationship with food, but I'm hopeful for the future.WE GOT THIS BRO
You got this (:
Proud Iced Coffee Hour Patreon member here! Very proud of you and excited to meet you in person!
Awe Alex ❤️ Thank you for sharing the start of your journey. I love that you’re surrounded with a supportive wife & friends
20 pounds down already is amazing man! Keep it up!
Hey Alex, you’re an amazing person man. I can see you’ve come a long way. Keep up the hard work and don’t let anyone put you down. This is your life and you have control over it. I’m excited to see you crush this journey!
Let’s go!!!!
Way to go, bro!
Props for making yourself vulnerable.
You're facing reality and working through it in a progressive manner!
Thank you so much!!!!!
Keep going, Alex! Support those who are all on this journey. We’re all fighting a battle we all don’t know about and we thank you for your vulnerability and to show what you are made of!
Thank you, and may this video continue to inspire countless people who may not even comment, yet, has impacted so greatly. 🙏
I know this was published a year ago but This is fucking awesome! I hope it's continuing and you're still making healthy choices!
Excited for you! And Graham was right, this video was done very well. He’s blessed to have you as his editor!
Thank you so much!!!
I can relate Alex. I was almost 300 pounds, and had many of those same feelings that you mentioned when I was growing up. At 13 I pretended to be sick so I wouldn't have to go to a class pool party because I was too embarrassed to take off my shirt.
I had to have a mini tummy tuck last year to remove loose skin from my body. I'll have more procedures done in the future, but I can promise you that the lifestyle change is well worth it. Welcome to your new life.
I’m excited to go on this journey!! I didn’t know you were also bigger I would’ve never been able to tell!
Takes a lot of courage to make this video! Super excited to see your progress on RUclips and in person!
Thanks so much Spencer! I cant wait to make more videos on this!!
Damn man, this is making me tear up. As a personal trainer, this story speaks so much to myself and many of the clients I work with. You’re a true champion and love to see the hardwork. Keep it up brother ✊
You’re the man! Keep it up and don’t get discouraged if there’s bumps in the road. I think it’s amazing that you’re able to put your insecurities out there in the open and empower yourself to make a change. Takes a lot of guts to do what you’re doing.
Work hard… the road is not easy and temptation will hit. Fight back and move forward.
Much love
Thank you!!
This is so brave of you, to talk about this openly with everyone. I gained 60 pounds between COVID and having a baby and I'm ashamed to show my face in public and hate that I can't buy clothes on Amazon anymore. Truly appreciate you speaking about this. ❤️
Alex I’m so proud and incredibly amazed by your courage. It takes a lot courage to be vulnerable with yourself, friends, let alone people on the net! I’m excited to follow your journey 😁
Thanks so much ❤️
Hey Nava, I'm proud of you. It takes a lot of courage to be able to confess something like that, let alone so publicly. I wish you the best of luck and can't wait to see your progress
Thanks so much (:
ALEX!! KEEP KILLING IT MAN. Been following this since Alex Hormozi podcast. And I'm proud of you buddy. Don't stop. Ever. Your wife and family need you to continue. Why stop? Once the habits formed and the determination is there, you've done it.
It’s definitely a habit now!!!
Great start! Looking forward to seeing your parasailing video! I see people doing that all of the time along highway 1 near Monterey, and it looks so frightening.
I mean I’m still afraid of it but Atleast I get the option to go on it hahaha
Incredible video. Sharing your story and taking steps to take control is insanely inspirational. You’re helping so many people Alex, keep going!!!
Great job sharing this!!
Legendary. Super pumped for you!
Thanks so much Brendon!!
You had some very profound and thought-provoking remarks in this video. This is a major inspiration, and I wish you the best of luck on your journey! 🙏🏻
Can’t wait to see your journey man! Proud of you and keep going!
Thanks so much JJ!!!
We all support you ❤️
Thanks so much!!!!
Dude, you can go far for sure.
I know what it’s like dealing with being overweight. I used to be 150lbs in grade 5. I felt so insecure. I would wear a shirt when swimming, because of it…. I knew I had to change things. Around grade 10 I really focused hard on eating healthy, and eating LESS! I used to have like 3 donuts in one sitting, just because they were “fresh” damn they tasted so good. It was like a drug… it took me about 5 years, but in college I was able to get down to about 8-9% body fat, where I could actually see a pack of muscles lol. Lifting weights was a HUGE reason for the weight loss. Building muscle (by lifting heavy weights ) in combination with a bit of cardio and a lot of dieting/ eating right, was the success factor for me.
I know you can achieve it too ! It’s more mental than anything…. It was so hard at first, learning to say NO to a slice of pizza or cookie , or donut, or chips. So hard
It’s a lifetime mental battle.
You can do it with the right mindset. I’m following your channel now. You do amazing work for Graham. I’m curious to see your results 5 years out. Don’t get discouraged, it will take a long time. Stay disciplined
Hey man, I have so much respect for you for making this video. Congrats on taking back control and best of luck on your journey! You got this!!!
I’m cheering you on - health is so important!
Thank you so much!!
@@AlexanderNava i also saw you are from WI, sending you vibes from your home state!
Such an amazing genuine video!
Definitely subscribed. Thank you for sharing Alex.
Thanks so much!!!
Take it day by day. When I was losing weight every time I slipped up I would downgrade my self and feel terrible. Your only human so don’t get down on urself when ur not perfect! This is a marathon not a sprint, so keep going till you hit that finish line. We’re all rooting you on but if that’s not enough realize your life will completely change for the better the further you go down this road so just keep pushing! You got this
I've been struggling with my weight as well, so inspiring to see how you're making a change towards a healthy lifestyle!
So proud of you Alex! I’m on a weight loss journey myself and to stay consistent is the hardest thing!
Thanks so much!! Keep it up!
I couldn't agree more. Of course, it is possible. I went through my own weight loss journey many years ago and have successfully managed to keep the weight off long term. I know you can too. You have a loving wife and very supportive friends. You totally got this.
Thank you so much for sharing this with us! So proud of you and how you approach the discussion of insecurities. I look forward to seeing all you accomplish and more!
You fucking rock my dude! Wishing you the best :) Can't wait to see the transformation over time, and always remember to be kind to yourself!
Let’s go!! Excited to watch your journey and to eventually see you do those things you want to do. You got this Alex!
I subscribed when you joined the Stefamily, so glad you are making content. Good job on the work so far. Looking forward to seeing your journey.
You’ve got this, Alex!!!
Thanks so much Caleb!!
Amazing Alex! That is absolutely awesome to see and hear. You’ve got this! Just keep going!
This was such a great video. It was so well done so will edited and so meaningful. Congratulations on your great start so far. I have over 100 lbs that I need to live. We recently filmed a video and we're putting it up on our channel and I hated seeing myself in it. I was really uncomfortable and we can't exactly edit me out without completely screwing up the shot and it's not something we can easily shoot. I just have to live with it but it doesn't make me very happy it's hard to get motivated to go ahead and do what you know you need to do. I waited for a long time for a gym to be built near my house because the other one was over 13 miles away on a terrible freeway and when I finally got the gym built the pandemic yet and then of course I couldn't go there anymore. Even prior to everything being shut down I got sick with covid and I couldn't go to the gym for over a week because I got really messed up from it. I managed to get to go for another day and then everything shut down the day after that. I figured I would just build my own gym instead because I have the space to do that on and of course the price of wood went up and that didn't happen. Bought myself a gym equipment and I'm working on putting it in our extra room instead of building a dedicated room for the gym. Of course I have to do all the other stuff first which means cleaning out my office so I can move the stuff out of the gym room into my office so I can actually make the gym. It's so much easier just to sit back and watch RUclips and not do what I need to do
So I guess it's time to finish cleaning out my office and get my gym set up and stop making excuses
What a tough topic to dive into. So proud of you for being able to talk about this.
Thanks so much for watching Erika!
Proud of you buddy! Taking the first step is the hardest imo. I am looking forward to the updates!
Thanks!!!!
Amazing video!! Just subbed and on my weight loss journey myself. Prediabetic made it real weight loss is important and possible
Great video!!
I completely understand the plane seat belt and the clothes shopping and the difficulty doing day to day things or special things such as flying a plane, skydiving, etc.
I lost 50 pounds and even though I have a lot more to go I feel great, I look better, I'm proud of myself and I now do fit into a plane seat belt, barely but it will get better.
You are doing a great job, keep it up and looking forward to more awesome updates.
Love the editing! Clearly the editor for Graham is gonna make it! You got this man!
Planning on any crash courses on editing?🧐 I need them
I love and am inspired by by the video Alex. I struggle with my weight as well and have thankfully dropped about 15 pounds in the last month but it is a heck of a struggle.
One day you are going to tell your friends that you used to be overweight and they won't believe you because this will be a distant memory. You have the heart of a warrior and and I confident you will meet your goals.
Really well done video Alex. Very brave to be so transparent. You're an amazing dude at any weight in my eyes. I hope you succeed with whatever goals make you feel the most happy.
Keep up the great work buddy! You can do it! My binging is such a problem that I started doing the OMAD diet (one meal a day) so that I still get to binge but only once a day and this way I can still be at a calorie deficit. Definitely need to work on my self control. Anytime I stop doing OMAD i gain weight again.😩
Gotta find something sustainable! It’s different for everyone
Dude. You’re an inspiration. What you just did takes a ton of courage and just starting you should be proud of yourself
Alex! Great video! I am sorry for what you have gone through but glad you made a video going through your struggles. Keep it going one step at a time. Never give up and look forward to see your progress. Good luck!
Jack, you're not the only one making videos!!!
P.s Alex you're an inspiration and brave for Doing this!!!
Thank you so much!!!!
Good for you!!!! I have been in recovery from an ED for over 15 years and life is amazing!!!!! I wish you the best of luck on your journey.
I love this! I wish you the best on your journey. I grew up with a lot of trauma and it messes with my mind and body.
I have been in foster care, foster care shelters, homeless shelters, and at some point I lived in my car and on the streets. I use to always over eat and/or wonder where will my next meal come from or eat because I was depressed or felt like I was not good enough. I have been bullied my whole about my weight and think others stare and judge me. I remember I’d have to buy bugle boy clothes or shop at Casual Male and pay a mark up because I’m bigger. I finally had enough and went to see a bariatric surgeon a few years ago and it changed my life forever. I have about 60 pounds to go before I can do all of my excess of skin removal surgeries. but now I can go into Walmart and buy clothes that are on the shelf. It’s amazing what having the right tools, the right supports, and the right mindset can do to one’s life. Now I blog about it because someone else is suffering in silence and it’s my hope they see my stuff and know they are not alone. They are loved. I wish you the best on your journey and will definitely keep watching your progress. You got this man and I’m rooting for you.
You got this man! 💪
Thank you!!!
Great video, I’m also here in Las Vegas… I started at 335 and documented my whole journey here on RUclips. If you need or want any help, I’m here for you!
Alex your gonna have your ups and downs, and that’s completely normal. Moving forward is all that matters no matter the step if it’s a small or big one just keep pushing!
Great video. Surprised Graham didn’t tell you to make it 8 mins though to get the mid roll ad! What weight do you need to get down to for practicality (airplane seats etc)?
Oh he did haha!!! I just didn’t care because I didn’t have enough to show lol
Great video Alex! Keep up the great work! I’m rooting for you! 💪🏻
As a large person I feel and understand your pain. You can do this!
Thank you so much!! There’s a lot people don’t think about!!
I'm glad for you that you started tackling this challenge that feels so important to you.
I wish you the best ! ♥
Proud of you. Can’t wait to see your journey. Amazing video.
Amazing Alex! Can't wait to watch you fly a plane or ride the ny ny rollercoaster
Good stuff! Loved the video, excited to keep up with your journey. I’m working toward my PPL right now and it’s totally worth it, can’t wait to see you up there 😃 ✈️
This happens when you finally accept what you are...but what if you still have self loathing issues...I tf do I get out of this. I am genuinely happy for you and admire you and hope to be at your stage some day.
hey man all respect for putting it out there and doing something to improve your life!
Well done, Alex! Look forward to your progress updates!
You got this is Alex I know that you will come out so much prouder and happier with yourself on the other side
Found this through Graham...I've lost 110 lbs with another 20 to go...I definitely know what you're going through..No one knows the struggle unless they've actually had to lose weight ..I wish I could post a before and after pic but my RUclips channel The Gatlinburg Hussey, I have pics ..Keep it up..I'm typing this at the gym ..99% Is diet.. remember that
This is fantastic. Good for you, Alex! Keep going! 💪
Awesome Job Alex. I wish you the best on your journey. Way to take back control. You got this.
Not to mention you AND Jack did a video in the same week... Keep it up guys. Now i have to step it up...
Much Love Alex ❤️ this is amazing … so proud … so inspired …. keep it up 🔥💯
Alex, you got this! Keep pushing, this was a great video. Cant wait to see more and your journey
Im mad tho that graham and jack didnt push you to make the video over 8 minutes so you can have ads! Lol
Keep up the good work
Haha 😂 sometimes it’s not about the midrolls lol!
Great video! Really liked the quality and the narrative. Good luck!
I'm overweight and you're one awesome guy putting this all out there!
Love you brother. Fkn proud of you dude. I can only imagine the willpower and courage to post this for everyone to see. You’re inspirational. I mean it.
