How do you keep fighting for yourself when you weigh 527lbs put in the effort to lose over 200lbs, regain that weight, and find yourself trapped on a rollercoaster you think you can't escape? Losing and gaining weight over and over again.

And no, this isn't about one specific diet, treatment or exercise plan. It's a deep dive into the fundamental shifts we need to make. Don't miss this one!

Jay aka TacoTycoon420 joins me to talk about the lessons he needed to learn to turn his ten year attempt at weight loss into a success. We get into what it is like to be a food content creator who now shares his weight loss journey and it's challenges. His journey is a unique one that we haven't heard in a while on the Forum. We also ask an important question you will need to follow Jay to answer... Will he actually sky dive this Summer???

Pete Brennan returns to the Forum a year and half after his first appearance and man, his story is far from over! We talk about how his weight loss has progressed and the adventures he has been on. Pete is now down almost 400 pounds from his heaviest weight, stepped onto the Summer Shredding Bodybuilding stage, and completed phase one of his skin removal journey. Through it all he has remained focused on why he keeps fighting, his life as a father raising his son.

We also get into the current trends in the weight loss social media space and the impact of the fame getting thrust upon a new wave of influencers. Do not miss this discussion!

It's hard to wrap your head around but Brian Miljevich stopped paying attention to his health and found out he weighed over 525lbs. Waking up to that fact is the change point we all need right? Well, Brian lost focus again after losing a significant amount of weight and found himself on his way back to that peak. From my own experience I know how easy that can be, and today Brian and I talk about how you find your focus again and don't lose it! Do not miss his incredible journey!

This week's episode is a must hear for anyone who feels they struggle with food addiction! Dylan Drumm and I get into his own struggles with food addiction and his health as he rode a lifelong rollercoaster of ups and downs with his weight. What happens when you nail your goals and step on a transformation bodybuilding stage and nine months later you have to admit that you're almost back at square one? How do you get honest with yourself and keep moving forward? Kevin dives deep into what this has meant to him. We also get into how popular trends in health and fitness, like protein everything being sold, create distractions on a journey that needs clarity and focus.

Don't miss this powerful discussion!
