I was about 500 pounds at my heaviest, 2 years later I’m 237 pounds. This guy can do it.
Get some 💪
Fantastic.
Fuck yes to you dude, keep it going. That is awesome to read.
Good work bro
Damn dawg!!! Fucking right !
"Snuggle into bed..."
"Yeaah! Ahh?"
"But no."
"Yea, yea, no, no, no"
Something I've always admired about Theo Von is his quick-mindedness and eloquence.
Got the classic Tim Allen “Ahh?” 😅
amazing how he can turn two or three words and a grunt into a joke
Hah, I saw that one too. Like he really started visualising how nice it'd be to just get into bed, then the pause, then Jocko's 'NO' and he snaps out of it.
@@zgaming6806 i think, as a comedian, he was lining up the next joke, perhaps talk about the time he "snuggled up in someone else's warmth" but realised he shouldn't derail Joko's train of thought.
I was hoping someone mentioned this 😂
Theo was so happy he was talking about going into bed he’s like yeah yeah yeah. Then he saw dude change what he was talking about and then he agreed with him again I love this guy
I think he was doing that like he does with any type of that hitter. He makes that sound often for decadent, enjoyable things and it actually emphasizes Jocko's point (it's hard to resist getting out that slumber hitter). I think the only corrections Theo made were to clarify what he meant by his tone when saying it.
😆😆
They guy calling doesn’t know whether to shit or get off pot.😂
Had me dying 😂😂
He def did that on purpose haha
Theo’s humor is a blessing and a curse because when he looks serious I still can’t help but to laugh
Sometimes when someone who is usually funny or light-hearted gets serious, you just know shit's going down. Theo is not one of those people.
It's hard not to laugh when he's listening to others talking
Pretty humbling though that even a guy like Jocko can say hey there are days that I don’t even feel like it. That’s motivating to me.
there is not a single Navy Seal that did not think of quiting a 1000 times or more during training. But they didn't
@phil B "but they didn't."
That's the difference.
It's about self-talk and self-belief. If you frame yourself in your mind as someone who's capable of doing stuff even when you don't feel like it, you'll become that person.
Negative thinking drains you. Thinking, speaking, writing (even jokingly) about yourself negatively reinforces an image that weakens you. You do it 20 times across a span of a year and that image becomes a part of you, whether you're consciously aware of it or not.
Luckily, the opposite seems to be true as well. Consistently talking to yourself In a positive, empowering and constructive way quickly leads to developing a much better mindset, which then makes it much easier to do stuff you want, or have to do. Every negative thought can be replaced by positive, constructive one. Even if you aren't that person, even if you don't believe you can be, talk to yourself as if you are. Do that for a month and see how much you change.
People like Jocko wholeheartedly believe that they're capable of doing whatever they set their minds on. He knew he would lead men into battle before he even enrolled. Then he did all those things, which further reinforced that image. He believes he's the kind of person that works out even if he doesn't feel like it, so why wouldn't he?
Try it if you haven't and/or you're struggling to become disciplined, even though you might 'know" what to do. If you're someone who's trying to better yourself, yet your self-talk is negative/mostly critical, know that you're trying to implement a change that goes DIRECTLY against your self image. Unless you change that, making any changes will be much difficult than they have to be with a much lesser chance of sticking with them. Be consistent.
@@phililpb Jocko said he never thought of quitting being a SEAL in one of his podcasts. I think it was with Jonny Kim. Some people just don’t want to quit no matter what.
I was this guy at 355lbs 2.5 years ago, severe sleep apnea, my sleep doc said I was a 'good candidate for bariatric surgery'. That was rock bottom. First I quit drinking alcohol, that taught me how to change and I learned what discipline was. Then I focused on weight loss, and used the most available exercise to help me: walking. I walked consistently. Consistency was my biggest weapon. Lost 90 pounds, no more CPAP, no more SSRIs, no more depression, no more hypertension, BP is solid now. Consistency in the application of your own solution was key for me.
Congratulations, man. Fantastic work.
Awesome bro! I drank so much beer when I moved into my own place that I went from 170 running 6 miles a day to 230 in about 5 months. I felt terrible
Im still a work in progress but Im back down to 200 now. Trying to keep it going
congratulations!
Proud of you brother. Similar story here, started with quitting the booze. Then 70 pounds came off. Then started strength training. Best shape of my life at 53!
"no more SSRIs, no more depression" You were drinking alcohol and taking SSRIs, no wonder they didn't work and your depressive symptoms didn't dissipate
Love to see how Jocko genuinely sat there and listened to this guy talk and thought about how he can improve his life. Best thing you can do is offer a helping hand to people that are down this tough path of improving their health
"You can't let your emotions dictate your actions. You have to let logic dictate your actions."
I really needed to hear this.
Action is the antidote to despair.
I was 420lbs 15 weeks ago. Been fasting, eating keto and am down 90lbs. I struggle with it but am on the path to health. Lasting motivation is a group activity; even if its an online group.
Well done mate. Please update me with more weight loss in the near future. You can do it
Keep it up! You got this man!
Hell ya, intermittent fasting and cut sugar, I lost 44 lbs, feel great!
As a big guy myself, this might sound stupid, but how are you fasting? When I get hungry, especially at lunch and I'm not able to get my lunch due to work circumstances, I get hangry.
Sheesh! That's awesome!
I’m always so surprised Jocko was never a reoccurring guest on the podcast. They’d make a great team.
What jokko is saying about working out even when you’re not feeling great is something I’ve learned in my 30s. Even just going through the motions, you will feel better and in due time, your body will see the results
It’s all discipline, not emotional or motivational. Setup a routine. Forget about weight loss or scale numbers, here is what you do. Eat healthy. Do research on what is healthy. Up your protein intake, lower the carb intake. Try and eat fresh ingredients, not boxed and packaged food. Get moving. Walk around the block. Go for a bike ride, whatever you want to do. Try and break a sweat every single day. Once walking around the block or whatever feels easier then start doing more, and more. It will work. Weight will come off, but more Important you will start feeling better and being healthy. Make it a priority.
@@kylegusek That's awesome and a great point. Don't try and just go hard day one... you will feel crappy and won't keep it up. Making it a full lifestyle change (as cliche as it sounds)is key.
Theo's response to jocko's comment he made at 1:25 is hilarious.
😂😂 I was looking for this comment
Lmao 😎 🤣 😂 😆 😎 🤣
I wake up at 4 am to go to work for the last 3 months and I still haven’t beat Jockos watch . 3:34 am every day I’m making coffee and this dude is hitting burpees
@Enigma Vids work 5 am -2 or 4 usually in bed by 9 or ten back up at 4 am lol
doesn't really make any sense. He goes to be at like 7pm. Its about getting sustained rest at the best REM sleep patterns (which should be 6 or 9 hours)
Damn facts right here:
You cannot let your EMOTIONS dictate your actions.
You have to let your LOGIC dictate your actions.
Word.
“Getting better is a campaign.” -Jocko
Good on him for acknowledging its a lifestyle change forever not a 'diet'! That is a massive thing to realise.
Man he's right. I lost about 40 pounds by starting a daily gym routine and I told myself even if I didn't want to work out I was gonna go walk there anyways and at least take a shower and be there everyday. Very quickly I was giving myself longer and longer in the gym and enjoying the routine. It's tough to tell how sick you are when you're gaining weight but when you start losing you feel so much better its like aging in reverse
That's awesome dude way to go
I've been clinically obese twice in my life. As a kid and as a young adult, it's just about consistency. Not only to stay on track but also to not overtrain too early and then get a painful injury that incapacitate you from excersising. The slower you lose weight, the longer you keep it off. You don't have to starve OR train like an animal. 15 mins of excersise a WEEK either spread out or done on one day WILL jump-start your body into starting producing energy for working out.
I literally never wake up wanting to work out, unless it's squatting or bench pressing, and even then I get almost nervous before a work out, even though I train at home on my own! But I love food, I stopped binge eating at night by having a bigger dinner later in the day, I started missing breakfast because I never really feel hungry if I miss it.
The biggest thing is making the decision of "I am going to get fit, I'm going to get healthy and I don't care if it takes 2 years. I'll have cheat days and maybe more rest days than I need, but if I stay on track I'll see the results" don't make yourself miserable to lose the weight.
I love how Jocko puts a life situation and describes in a combat scenario. Losing weight won't happen overnight but if you win those little battles by eating less gradually and do what exercise needs to be done you can get to the end. Then you can savour in the victory of that struggle.
Well said bruh
You'd LOVE his book Extreme Ownership. He describes a combat scenario, breaks down the meaning, and then explains a similar situation in the business world where he saw it and was able to help someone apply it. It's the best.
Except the facts are you don't have to work out one bit in order to lose weight. Diet control is the #1 factor in weight loss.
*I was 440lbs, now 340lbs, cutting to 270lbs.* My advice is to see food as SURVIVAL not pleasure. I grew up on an animal based diet (meat, fish, eggs, raw milk, and berries in season). I became addicted to processed crap when I moved to the city. So now I’m just going back to animal based. I’ll have junk food here and there. But on those days, I fast the entire day. I’ll have 2-3k calories of junk within an hour and then NOTHING for the rest of the day. Just fasting with lemon juice in sparkling mineral water.
Go find Dr. Jung on RUclips, he can help you
@@lemonadegrave I don't think he needs help lol.
I like food too much to see it as a means to an end. I both understand the nutrition and the pleasure side of it, so it's hard to just put the exact food down on the plate that I need and then not eat anything else. Good thing it's not easy for me to gain weight at 6'2" 170 lbs. I could carelessly eat like 200 g carbs, 80 g protein, and 100 g fat (however many calories that could be, 2800-3000) and the effect would only last a day lol. I try to only eat twice a day, and a lot of the time, I do a 16:8 IF method, so I'm not eating and spiking my horomones and blood sugar all the time. To consistently gain weight, I would have to eat 3x a day, effectively getting rid of any recovery time for my gut and extra fasting hours I put in throughout the day. I could try maxing out what I could eat twice a day lol.
Try carnivore ... check out KenDBerryMD , SteakandButterGal , rnazon , Bart Kay ... start with their playlists, not last videos...
Hell yes! I started at 465lbs., 2 years ago. Severe sleep apnea, hypothyroidism, depression...keep adding the reasons it was hard to lose and easy to put on. Point is, I read Extreme Ownership and started living my life in a completely different way. I'm 320lbs now and I've been in Judo for 9 months now (competed once). If you'd have told me 2 years ago that I'd be in any kind of martial art, competing, and improving in it...I probably would have been willing to bet you all the money and possessions that I had that you were out of your mind.
If the guy that called in reads this, take it from me, someone who thought they had reached a point of no return: you CAN do it. It will suck. It will hurt. You will want to quit. But you can't. You won't...because you know that the only way to get better is to endure and dig deep. Then, you realize that you're stronger than the voice in your head, telling you to stop and you start seeing the results. All of a sudden, you're addicted to the struggle of getting better and beyond happy with how you feel and look. Do it man. You are the only one who can change you, and you have that power, even if you don't think you do.
Um, hypothyroidism isnt a reason it is a cause and w/o treatment deadly.
He’s in the right track. Stray strong, brother! 💪
That is loving advice that seems to come from goodness in his heart. Go Jason!
This is life changing advice
Only if you apply it.
@@ComandaKronikk One day at a time
Jocko is so real and transparent
As someone who's been gyming 4 times a week and running over 30km a week for 13 months now all that matters is that you do something. Just do something everyday, build a habit, kick a habit, make smaller, consistent changes and you can achieve anything
exactly right man. 1 pushup a day. who gives a fuck. just do something!!
I'm grateful to be here now. I'm grateful to be alive.
Jocko is like the key example of a stoic case study.
I love these two together. It just works
Jesus Jocko is a legend..what a speech!
man ur line about just going through the motions hits hard
I love Jockos mindset and advice , great guest , thanks Theo
Theo and jocko is the friendship I never knew I needed so bad
dedication beats motivation every time. You're never going to be motivated all the time but you can remain dedicated, even if it's going through the motions.
I’ve been battling for almost 4 years. I was 364 and cut to 280 but I gained 30 back. Since then I cut to 269 but now find myself back at close to 290! I teared up hearing this tonight. I beat myself up so hard when I’m gaining. I lose hope in myself and forget to live. This is why I will always find hope through Jocko’s wisdom. Thank you big dog. For the first time I realize… I’ve already began. Just need to enjoy it and keep pushing.
Weight loss was one of the hardest things I had ever done but felt so good at the end.
I lost 100lbs just watching this video. Thanks Jocko!
This is an awesome comment.
Best thing I ever did for myself was getting mental help, realizing a lot of what I was doing was a mental game I was playing with myself. A lot of it is a mental game.
I started going to the gym again after a 15 year break. I mountain biked for years but that was it. Feels good getting back into it.
Thank you Theo Von for the deep insight.
Sometimes you just want to reach out and give someone a hug and tell them it's going to be okay
It's overwhelming if you look at the big picture, but you just gotta start and grind away at it. I like the comment about some days you just go through the motions, it's so true. A bad workout is always better than not working out
What Jocko said about going through the motions is way better than not doing that... god I wish I had internalised that earlier in life.
Not every workout is gonna be a rocky montage. Sometimes you're just doing maintenance. And that's fine - it means you're holding ground and not slipping back.
2-minute rule: do something for 2 minutes without thinking, and the motivation will naturally follow.
For having such a menacing scowl I've literally never seen Jocko show a single flicker of judgement in his eyes
i love jocko he is the best guy
"...two options!!" Simply the best!
John Maxwell had a great quote from one of his books: Motivation is a lie. You do and in doing you are motivated.
What a great duo
Some of my best work outs are on days I’m just hating life and just crawling with dread to the gym. One of the toughest things I had to learn as an adult was knowing when to think and when to go blank and take a step forward.
You just gotta keep livin’ man,
L-I-V-I-N.
Discipline is better than motivation. The workouts you do when you don't feel like it are worth (to me) more than the ones you do when you do feel it
Doing the motions works. Ive been going to the gym every day for like 400 days straight now. If I dont go to tomorrow, I know I am capable of breaking this great habit and that’s why I will go tomorrow, even if no records are broken. I will use this same mentality to quit smoking! Wish me luck!
Theo, is the greatest 🙌 ❤
Godspeed, Jason
Motivation isn't just an emotion. It's having a "why". Motivation is a function of hope. A lot of times trauma disconnects people from what they care about deeply in life and reestablishing that isn't always simply a matter of will.
Going through to motions as you put it, is the substance. The result is the same, and whether you're motivated or not is immaterial.
Every day you fight is another day of life at that weight. You are literally fighting for more life for yourself, your loved ones, etc.
Lee Haney said the hardest workout is getting to the gym after that it's a piece of cake
The concept of *me regulating my own emotions* was crazy to me, but it turns out we can regulate our own emotions, we can talk ourselves thru the emotion, and emotions are so often keenly felt, so any emotion that is hustling you to do something other than what you've already decided in a calm, rational moment is a big thing. Practice talking yourself out of a reactive moment that makes you act quickly towards your own hurt - like eating a junk meal or not stepping out for that walk. What would you tell a friend you loved with all your heart in that moment? Start telling yourself those things, out loud, where you can hear it, where your brain has to process it thru it's neural pathways to comprehend it. Sometimes we have to be the person we never had that really loves us and wants the best for us. Generally, if you are that big, then you weren't getting that message earlier in your life, but as an adult you can practice (on purpose) being a good and true friend to yourself.
There are too many of us these days that feel this way with their health, myself included, and it's messages like these that we need to hear right now.
Discipline is key.
“Just do it”
Gee.
Just going through the motions is better than not going through the motions.
I like that idea. I'm gonna try to remember it when I need it
Excellent point: it is NOT about "emotion", no more than hammering nails into a board. You just need to do what you need to do, to get the job done. No trophies, just a better product when you're finished.
Bro basically said "just suck it up"
If you don’t suck it up you will not get anywhere, he’s just going to plateau at 440 pounds
@@rex8958 some more practical tips might've been more helpful
Motivation is fleeting; discipline is a choice. When motivation cheats on you, discipline will never abandon you.
It's great hearing guys who are in great shape, say: "I have bad days too!" The lesson is,..Just keep trying! You'll get there!
Great advice! Had a few days this winter it was cold as hell. Wind blowing. Snowing. Wanted to go back to bed. Dogs needed walked and so did I. Put my big girl panties on, layered up and went anyway. Always felt like I accomplished something big afterward!
The way Theo enthusiastically said "YEAH!" to curling back up in bed .. 🤣
Jocko is just the way he explains things
I was 14 and 350 pounds before I realized I seriously needed to lose weight, I just had a day where I looked in the mirror and decided that was it and went for a bike ride immediately, I then started riding everyday once for 15 minutes working up to rising for hours at a time. And with change in diet as well( not snacking on processed crap) eat a apple. That did take months but I got there. The bicycle is what did it for me. Even now I'm down to 230 and now my abs are showing and I'm gaining muscle mass like crazy so it possible. It's one of those mind of matter situations. Just do it. Like nike says. You can do it.
Keep on the bike it is the best exercise imo
you are 230 and your abs are showing?? How tall are you
You gotta be like 6’5+ to be 230 with abs
230 and abs, come on now bruh
When you're down it will pass. When you are up, it will also pass.
It gets to a point to where you start to do things BECAUSE OF the negative feeling they bring to your mind...becomes a way of life for you from there
So cool to see Jocko on the podcast, I actually found out about Theo when he went on Jocko’s podcast about 2 years ago.
Jocko gives the best advice!
Dang, you never really ever see Theo choke. He always has some wild comeback but Jocko was coming correct and you could tell Theo was uneasy in his responses.
Both are really cool dudes
Jocko said "life itself is tough suck it up and get it done.
As someone who struggled with mental health when I was younger. Which maybe I still do I dunno, but I feel great and my outlook on everything is better.
Diet, Exercise, and combat sports 100% changed my life. Helped my mind,psyche everything. I recommend it to everyone, it is my altar.
*nodding* Yeahhhhh.. oh, no no no…
Fitness is a lifetime war for me, and I'm learning to love the fight.
Awesoem advice. Hope this dude makes a change. I did four years ago. Granted I wasn’t nearly 440 lbs, just skinny fat and unhappy, but a lifestyle change is possible and even when you get to where you think you want to be, then you want more and you still continue to struggle. Do things you love, and putting the work in will be something you look forward to.
Agreed Jacko. 9 out of 10 times my mind tries to convince me not to workout but fuck it, I still get it done.
I just lost 8kgs (18 pounds) in 3 months... and it was super hard... exercised 5 -6 days a week. My next goal is another 8 kilos in 3 months from now and focusing more on calorie intake... to hopefully speed things up. If I succeed ill still have one more 8kg/3month spell to go before i reach my main target in 6 months from now (9 months in total)... and then I'll reassess my self. So far, I can't stress enough, make *realistic* goals and use motivation like goggins or whatever to keep u pumped. Whatever works for you. Some weeks you're just not gonna see much change and others you will. Also MAKE time for it. Health is more important than career. Whenever you cave in with bad foods/eat a crap load... make sure you double down on the exercise the next day as a punishment. That's the only thing that's worked for me so far... otherwise I feel I've failed and fall back into bad habits.
The problem isn’t motivation or willpower. It’s not being able to visualize or understand the result. That’s why people give up, they need a mentor or faith in the results. Without that you won’t improve.
Brilliant Statement Wilink - right off the Rip . Let LOGIC DICTATE ACTION .. Jocko For President
Didn't expect to see these two together
He's right. The exercise high wares off after 1 or 2 weeks. But once it gets in the motion of habit, you're in the right step.
fruit smoothies. you'll get your lymphatic system in check, you'll start eliminating properly and you'll feel way better and it'll give you the energy to get out and move more.
The way he said "yEEeeAAhhHh" it's like he really felt that snuggle into bed part then felt a little shy from hearing himself say that all within .5s hahaha. Great advice though :) be your own motivation!
"Logic" is funnily enough also an emotion you know
Ironically, I'm motivated by this video.
Jocko is 100% right. You must act with logic, not emotion
🔥Great this is being HIGHLIGHTED‼️
🔥More about this! Theo, cudos ⭐️
Call David Goggins. He knows what you are going through.
So nice of Theo And Jocko to give Paddy The Baddy advice on his weight issues
Haha I swear that does look like him 😂
Love that Dude .. deadly warrior.. American Hero .. Thoughtful Intellectual Interesting Cat .
America needs Jocko in politics.
He already shows up on Fox a ton.
sleep apnea is the new silent killer. CPAP is the start to a new life trust me; you were having mini strokes for years. this brother will do better I know it because of the 🎸 in the back and the courage to post the video in the first place! = discipline
and my brother you got it
