6 Month Weight Loss Fitness Secrets, Before & After, My Battle With Health & How I Changed My Life

As I always say, onwards and upwards, and in that spirit, today I return to the wider spectrum of more "gentlemanly" subjects that I originally started this channel with. I share a very personal story of how I changed my life using fitness and a strict routine, and overcame my battle with severe health problems. I was able to get through the toughest of times because I unlocked and tapped into an intense amount of self discipline and resilience that I never knew I had. I discuss my secrets to how a controlled diet, exercise, a stringent workout plan and motivation can help you lose weight, get into the shape you want, become a more productive person, and above all have a happier, improved life.

Lost a ton of weight (100+ pounds), and gained it all back, three times now.

I've had all those excuses "I dont have a desk job, I'm on my feet all day." Yet downing sodas all day.

"I walked around today, that's exercise. I'm not going to the gym."

"I'm tired. I'll go to gym tomorrow."

That's it. Today is the day, 8:16pm central time. I'm changing my body. And permanently this time.

No excuses.

I like the diversity of this channel, please continue to make content that is not just about watches.

[GrantMcCormick]

Wow. Tuned in for some watch talk and was seriously impressed with the fitness philosophy and motivational impact. Tremendous post.

It's great to see not only your videos TGV, but to also see there are still men in the world concerned with being great men.

I'm a distance runner...but have to say that Cardio isn't the be all end all for losing weight. The most efficient exercise for weight loss is the one you keep doing. The best "diet" for weight loss is the one that you can continue. Everything else you mentioned is spot on.

I'm going through some rough times right now because of my health it's so depressing but what really gets me through some bad days is watching your videos no joke . thank you so much you will always have a friend in Tennessee.

Just saw this...I am a cyclist, swimmer and tennis player. I do significant cycling miles and I can tell you it is life/ health changing. Good message....and best of luck!

Keep taking care of yourself. Most of us do not begin to appreciate or comprehend how lucky we are. Thank you

TGV, thanks very much for this video. I was injured in Afghan in 2008, i had a cracked vertebrae, collapsed lung, fell into a coma and my body went auto immune and subsequently now have a chronic nerve pain disorder. I spent a few years in a wheel chair and on steroids and my weight blew up. As time went on i would get fit then have a flair up which would see me put into a ketamine coma for a week or so followed by another month in hospital. The battle starts again.
I found this very motivating Sir, many thanks

[falwinzzqx]

Man, i'm happy that you're well now.. this is a very inspiring story, thanks TGV!

[JBJDBA]

All I wanted was to find some reviews on watches. I had no idea my life would possibly be changed as a side effect. What an honest, sincere video from a true gentleman. I hope to contact you in 6 months and tell you about my latest watch purchase and how much weight I have lost! ;) God Bless you, Sir.

[Printerthing]

WHAT! Dude you were massive back then!!

[Leojx]

Hey TGV,

Your very inspiring man. Your right about the cardio. I used to do a ton of cardio and felt better. It helps with everything spiritually, mentally, and physically. The hardest part about anything is starting it.

Also, if you feel better and you have good thoughts the law of attraction takes effect.

Glad to hear your doing better man.

[cedricvercauteren]

Man, You cannot believe how I love it that finally someone adresses this issue! I am a Belgian PE & Movement Sciences student and I can tell you once you know the benefits you really put time and effort in it! By the way not only cardio gives you benefits but also maximal strength (and in your case a little bit of muscle gain would actually improve your basal metabolism!). I got into this because when I was young I had severe astma during exercise and worked extremely hard and got rid of it! Succes to all of you guys combatting your challenges!

May Almighty God give you health and a long life Ameen

[JgHaverty]

Ok.

Im gonna quit smoking today. Not tomorrow. Today.

Like Tristano, I love watches, but I am really glad to see a non-horological video for once. I like the variety. I would be happy if about 25% of channel output was not watch related. The variety was one of the draws of the channel in the early days for me. It differentiates TGV from the other channels out there. It's clear TGV is more than a one trick pony so it's nice to see him stretch his creative legs so to speak. Keep up the good work guv!

[wilberparada]

Am I the only one watching this 2 years afterwards? I'm watching your vids a few weeks ago. Never thought you were overweight and health issues like that. U have so mucho to share. Gracias por todo!

[xoxylordx]

A secret of mine to stop yourself from oversnacking is brushing your teeth, everytime I felt like I really wanted a cupcake or something I'd just do that, food doesn't taste the same with mint flavor in your mouth lol.. Cheers

I am currently struggling to lose weight and I realize the hardest parts for me are the routine - I work with consulting and travel a lot, so its a bit hard to build a consistent routine - and to train my mind. Very inspiring man! I hope I can follow your steps!
