Take a bow, son (see your junk)! Love you bud! OSW is an inspiration to podcasters and videomakers everywhere, and this video is a platform to make everyone get out and feel better about themselves. Motivate the masses, Jay! <3
Congratulations, Jay! That's really impressive!
Cheers! Much appreciated 🙂 SW is a lot less strict than I expected, like "eat as many potatoes as u want" ALRIIIIIGHT! 😀
Well I hope you find your five stones
That's what Thanos said!
Congrats Jay!
Cheers guys! It's easier not to eat chocolate when you're surrounded by 200g What Bars every day 😂
Well done mate, I lost over 5st a few years ago. Went from 18st 3lbs to 12st 12lbs and managed to maintain a healthy weight between 13-14st for the last 4 years, by working out and watching what I eat. Congratulations once again
That's serious bananas mate, great stuff! Was there anything obviously super fattening u cut out? Also low cal foods/treats u'd recommend?
It's probably me being paranoid! It's a good programme and it certainly works, and I like the way it's set out, but Mrs always found all the women that ran the group very pushy to buy their stuff too! Black market yoghurt may very well be the way forward!
Me and the Mrs just noticed that certain products that are syn free will all of a sudden have syns, despite the product not changing. Might be my conspiratorial mind but just makes me think that they may have deals in place with certain companies to push their products, and if for some reason the deal runs out or they fall out then they stop pushing them. We keep the basic principles of SW (clean cooking, though I eat less carbs, but if fits well with my lifestyle) but try not to buy into their faddy product placement! Everyone's journey is different and I always say work out what works for you, get your plan in place, keep your determination and don't give up!
They recently added a syn value to muller lights (either 0.5 or 1 syn) per tub; the conspirator in me says they're getting into the yogurt game, but actually I do think it's fair to add it - they're like 100cals each - so having a couple of those per day = an extra meals' worth!
Ah man, thank you so much for the kind words fellas! A winner is me ☺️
5 stone- that's a Hornswoggle you've lost- top work fella. I cant wait to see soon " Jay's Fashion tips for the ex-Knackers- where to buy that bodyhugging t-shart/waistcoat combination!! Serious though Jay, you should be so proud of yourself and ontop of that, being a 2 1/2 time Golden Nogger winner of the best wrestling podcast, lifestyle guru/allround good egg makes it even cooler! Inspiration to get a fat knacker like me to go back to good ways after a few weeks of bad stuff
Top 10 places to buy Umbro jumpers! Thanks brah 🤘🤘
Great job Jay keep up the good work.
Thanks Jack! Will do good buddy!
Really proud of you Jay. The plan seems to be working wonders!
Cheers gorgeous!
Congrats, that's a huge (no pun intended) achievement!
Thanks brother brah 🙂
Good shit brother! Way to keep to the grind!
The grind like sable! Thanks dude
Big congrats brah! I've done similar over the last year and a half, and while I'd never force my ideals on anyone, I can tell anyone who is wanting to do it that the feeling of achievement and pride you get is amazing! I have done SW in the past, but stopped using it as I feel they're too closely linked to brands, but I still use a lot of their basic principles! Proud of you mate! Celebrate well and keep going! Seriously impressed that you've done this considering your schedule!
Thank u dude! I figured if I put like half the effort into my diet as I do with osw, i'd be flying! Can u tell me about SW and brands? It's something I'd wanna know about 🙂
Massive congrats Jay! It's funny cow there was a pic you posted recently and I thought "Jesus, Jay looks like he's lost a fair bit of weight". I lost a similar amount last year so I know how good you're feeling. Keep on killing it.
Thank u dude! Ya your pics from meeting us to months later I was like, hoooly shit! Like serious difference! What did u change?
All I found was the remote and 50p!
Congratulations Jay, that's great work. You must be thrilled with the progress. Also, I loved the video, the message of dusting yourself off and getting back up is an important one. I say it to every one of my boi stable "it doesn't how many times you finish the match on your back staring at the lights, it's how you get back up". Rock on, Jay!
Aw thanks Luke! Tried not to quote Batman 😂 You must be very proud of your boys!
Fair play to you mate! Great work so far. A slimmer is you!
That's way too clever you're one of them! 😂
Wow Jay that's incredible! You should be so proud of yourself -- and you are!
Thanks Ramin brah! Super excited to finally get it. Only about halfway done I reckon. But it's good to be on the second half of the journey 🙂
You look great, Jay!
Thanks gorgeous 🙂
Great job jay - Shaka Brah! 🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼
Cheers brother brah!
Don't tease me Jay woooaaaaoooowww!
Way to go Jay! Prime candidate for Roidy Magoo 2020!
Ha ha! I can dream to join those hallowed few! Cheers brah
Mate that's awesome. I haven't actually heard of Slimming World but it sounds like a really interesting plan. That's the one thing I've found really helps me when I get my arse in gear to sort out weight, a routine/schedule. I'm actually on the Joe Wick's 90 SSS plan at the moment, only just started this week. I was on it before, about a year ago, and it was going well until I got a puppy and the schedule flew out the fucking window and I couldn't drag myself back to returning. Really positive going into it again though, going to smash it. Either way it was really awesome to hear you talk about what's worked for you. Congratulations on the 5 stone loss!
Joe Wick, is that John wick's brother? 😀 How is it meng?
Well done mate! Great going. My wife recently started Slimming World a couple of weeks ago. She’s flabbergasted by how much weight people seem to lose so quickly even though you can eat loads of potato’s and pasta etc. She only needs to drop a stone or so though so I’m guessing people getting those kinds of results are people that needed to lose considerably more? Will be sure to watch your vid with her when I get home!
Definitely, your TDEE would drop as you get closer to target weight alright (like it'd be easier to drop weight when you're super fat) but it also depends on how closely u stick to the plan. A lot of the women don't count biscuits or finishing their kids' plates/treats, that kind of thing! One of the girls in class this week dropped a whopping 6.5lbs to get to target! So you might have to work harder to get the last few pounds down but SW's plan is ingenious!
Fun fact for you: keto is rough for the first 5(ish) days, after which your body will drop into ketosis. Fair play on the weight loss!
You can't separate an Irishman from his potatoes! Fair balls to ya if that's what you do 🙂 It's not something I could keep up
My wife and I started DDPY last lear, she lost 40 lbs in 6 months. The food diary is a very good idea, it helps. All these steps you state here are a part of DDPY actually, I recommend it if you're interested. It's not just yoga, it's a mixture of many exercises, and with your current diet, you're halfway there!
Congrats to her! How has the yoga helped her out? Like flexibility or anything beyond?
Awesome, Jay! I'm so glad you decided to go ahead and make a video about it. Keep it up man! Can't wait to see you put Bobby Lashley's physique to shame. Jay Hunter! Wooooooow!
Ha ha! Cheers man. Hell's calling yoooo naaaaame *black woman starts singing yeaaaaaaow* 😂
Jay Hunter ya fooking animal ya! Well done mate! Been through a similar process so i love seeing someone make positive changes. I’m a nutrition student also so i marked out hard to this news and the video! keep it up mate!
Ah cheers man! Ur very kind. Any advice for me? Like should I be taking any vitamin supplements?
That’s great mate. I’m on a diet after years of comfort eating after my car crash. Done 3 5k runs to boot. But 5 stone? That is an incredible achievement. Well done mate
Congrats on the ass-kickage dude; 5Ks are no mean feat!
Yaaaa baaaby 5 stone 5 stone 5 stone 5 stone 5 stone champ Phenomenal Jay so pleased for you "Five" in Tri voice lol
Ha ha! "Fahve" 😂
I’m on SW too, since late Aug, and have lost about a stone. Stalled a bit so this video was great motivation to get back on the wagon
ah that's phenomenal mate! That's a ton for a short period of time, well done! What is your group like?
Good work Jay! Can of water!
lol! turning down coke.......i've become everything i hate! If i ever turn down potato please end my misery!
Mate well done!! Thanks for the messages earlier in the year too with my weight loss!
Rock on AJ! Keep killing it in the gym brah!
That's amazing brotha! Congrats! I'm on Slimming World too and find it very helpful. Good on ya lad!
ah that's fantastic mate! How are u finding it? are there any blokes in your class?
How many points is a breakfast roll? And an Irishman on a no carbs diet? No wonder it didn’t work 😂
ooh i should find out! It's fucked that like most of the ingredients (sausage, rasher, egg) is fine but it's more the white bread and pud that'd fuck ya! we can't go more than two days without potato or we start dying!
Congrats Jay! Can of Slimfast to you
ah man! i remember failing at that years ago holy shit! is it still going? cheers mate
I should lose some weight as well to show my Mrs support on her efforts too. I find that fast food and, the worse, drinking. But well done for yourself Jay!
ha! Great stuff man. The drink is a fucker for smashing all the good work you've done over the week. Probably doesn't count if u down a bottle of jack and move onto gin!
Sterling effort Jay, good lad
thank u mate!
