What’s good you guys! My name is James, and since the year 2020 I have lost 220lbs and documented that journey from then to now. My goal is to show simple,realistic, and healthy ways to loose weight and maintain that weight loss. And to hear it all from someone who struggled to find simple and realistic ways to live out a healthy lifestyle. Feel free to drop any questions or video suggestions in the comments below. I also have a show with my cousin "The DJs Take" Where we discuss topics that are trending in the music world. New uploads every week!

Immediately subscribed! Love this! I've lost 45 lbs (out of the 116+ that I need to lose) and loose skin has been heavy on my mind lately and I found this video! So thank you for this video! I love heavy weight training so hopefully I'll come out good on the loose skin side. I try to eat high protein and staying hydrated, I deff need to be drinking more water though. Thanks for this video and congrats on your weight loss ❣
BRAT by charli xcx, end of the discussion
Post or Ariana for AOTY, that's it.. Sabrina for Single (her being nominated let alone winning BNA is straight madness), Billie for sumn, Beyonce for sumn (hopefully not AOTY, don't think it beats Ariana, probably not Post, and her having to go country for the win is harshhhhhhh) Dua Camilla Normani Usher & Katy nahhhh.. if Bensoon Boone gets anything ill kms onG, Teddy swims is chilling, Tyla for sumn fs, and I think Lana has a solid shot for one of the big ones if she releases in time.. and Taylor shouldn't get shit this year
Megan nah, haven't listened to Metro and Futures but not surprised it's a banget.. Not Like Us should win SOTY, but if one of Sabrinas beat it, I'll take it as long as it wins something else.... I came back to say something else I forgot..
oh, Chappel Roan will win sumn fssss.. Good Luck Babe has been Everywhere.. then there's Raye, who I think is releasing, and that woman is a star, if she's eligible for anything like BNA, I'd like to see her win.. and ikkkkkkk that album is gonna slap, dare I say she is this generations Beyonce In the making.. Powerhouse, Lyricist, Performerrrrr, Personality, only thing that threatens her is her speaking out on the corruptions in the industry, makes her a living legend in the making honestly
Love your takes!!
I'm sorry but as a kpop listener, not all idols get surgery. Yes a lot of them do, yes it's a machine, yes there's a lot of bad. But that all depends on the company. Take Ateez or Mammamoo. They've had space to be themselves, to have creative freedom, to speak up when they need to. It's not all superficial. Theres way more that play into it. It's a deep dive. I'd totally encourage yall to dive into it. They work with so many icons. So many black producers, chroegraphers and writers that have worked with the greats. It's insane. The talent is just crazy
Great take! We will take a deeper dive into kpop and highlight it in a future episode!
I miss the groups too. US used to be the center of boy groups and girl groups.and now their just gone and korea is rolling the game. They took over the boy groups and girl groups. They take the pop and take it seriously. From the music videos, to the choreography...their artists are all rounders. Insane professional dancers and performers. I gravitated towards them in 2020 because pop was dying for me. I grew up on beyonce, Justin beiber, beyonce, Usher, ciara, Mariah, ariana, Chris Brown, micheal jackson,bruno mars....and the ones who are good now are not pushed enough. I've gravitated to kpop/jpop...American artists although they are the Inspiration they just don't give what k idols give. I guess it put my standard too high. And the groups tend to stay together because of companies and if u chose to renew ur contract
In my personal opinion, reliability killed the popstar, it used to be that these singers were out of this world, unique and actually super talented, that was killed by trying to relate to the average people. That made the whole mystique fly away, now we are hearing their opinion on things 24/7, moreover, social media made it accessible to get famous and also shed on light to underground artists, these people end up finding their niche, everyone listen to whatever artists they'll like instead of listening main specific artist that were push back during the radio heyday, hence why there isn't a homonogist popstar everyone likes and knows. The last reason is that these record labels aren't seeking artists who are hungry for fame and superstardom, back then you had to prove yourself and showcase everything u can to justified your reason for success, now with the Internet, you don't need that, everyone's comfortable in their own space, there's no need to orove when you csn just post ur music online snd get love by the people who stumble upon it.
Such a good take!
Appreciate you for having me on the show and it was an awesome experience. Hope to be back on! 🤝🏿
Thanks for coming on brotha 💪🏾
People 100% percent slept on 365 and Harley's in Hawaii! Its crazy to think that pop music may "allow" Katy to come back now that she has black hair again lmao! Also rooting for Normani, period!
Agree with everything you said!
For the people who dont know: I'll never forget I'm from the UK and he had 3 or 4 songs on the radio he was on top in 2015/16 he was on par with drake and fettys prime was so bug it had a shadow over young thugs prime in 2015/16.... that's how big fetty wap was fr I still don't know why he fell off the way he did I dont even think fetty himself, although I've heard him say on his interview with dj ak....
Ima big fan of thugga tho
She has a new song coming This Friday ft Gunna. #Normani
Beyoncé the only relevant one
Honestly, does it matter? Relevance is so overrated if you’ve put out classics, sold millions records, and are still working why does it matter? They came out during a time where fame and charts mattered. Being famous meant something. Literally no one today is a true superstar. Anyone can be a celebrity, and each artist has their own cult fanbase but either you know them or you don’t. 🤷🏾♂️ just my two cents!
I can agree with that! That’s mainly what we wanted to highlight because these artist have had such long impactful careers it should be noted and celebrated.
just clicked because of global icon Shakira 😍 The world tour is coming 🤩 Europe is waiting
A global queen!
You forgot Xtina
She’s a powerhouse we talk about her in our greatest singers episode!
her concert was the one of the best night in my life
Dylan... Dylan.. Dylan, Dylan and Dylan!
People putting a pee dough file like jay z on their top 5 I will never understand 😂
Mario??? Ok.... If you watch the whole video of Whitney vs Luther performance, STEVIE wonder ate em both on that particular song
Stevie is a legend too!
I like Michael Bublé but definitely not a top 10! I don’t need to say much because you all addressed when someone went off the rails with a pick 😂
😂😅
Excellent! Thank you
I mean... one direction didn't do the dancing that is so iconic of boy bands.. they definitely had quite a few things that weren't generic. but yea I guess a boy band is a boy band .
Lol they didn't have their own music before the band. Generic gave them a fan base, good for them
Sign of the Times was so refreshing
450 to 230 here 😊
That’s awesome! Congratulations man
@@NewLifeFit101 thanks man!same to you! Im at the stage where I don’t have to always watch what I eat but I don’t ever stop working out.
Powerful! James this really speaks to those who sincerely desire to succeed. Thank you and God Bless your efforts in helping others with their journey
As usual Black people Don't respect Taylor Swift Art I just Watched Her Concert Film She Always Support Black Backup singers and Dancers
Thank u guys!
Bro, I was up to 250lb at one point I am down to about 185-190lbs. Just curious with that amount of weight loss did you have a ton of extra skin??
That’s awesome! I have a couple videos on my page discussing lose skin. Check it out 👌🏾
@@NewLifeFit101 Thank you for your help.
Usher is the goat
Outside the US usher cant pull crowds like cb.no cap.
I think if cb hadn't gone through the riri scandal his career would have been far better than it is now that only mj would be compared to him.nontheless did you guys see his europe tour?geez chris is really loved.outside the US cb influence is faaaar bigger than usher.no argument in that,but in the US the riri scandal still follows him.
Breezy all day
honestly i don’t give a fuck about the super bowl so i don’t care BUT the song they did with trolls GOES HARD ITS SO GOOD
Hey James Really nice video. Btw I was wondering if i could help you edit your videos and also make highly engaging shorts out of them. Or whole KZread management ?
Thanks! Message me on Instagram
I discovered the following and hope this information helps. Please give credit. This is what I call METABOLIC RESET: SYSTEMIC FLUID PRESSURE: Exercising is actually something that can save your life! Your lymphatic system works through muscle pressure. Your cardiovascular system also works through muscle pressure. Literally, the muscles of your legs pump the blood back up to your heart from the peripheral arteries and veins. Obesity damages and stretches connective tissue and forms a stiff cocoon around blood and lymphatic systems, creating a need for more pressure to make it so you can breathe and get rid of systemic weight. Suddenly, when the fat goes away, the pressure on both is too little. To your detriment, your body must compensate. Working your muscles helps support the proper working of these systems. HORMONAL PURGE: As for mental health, the same things called "neurotransmitters" in the brain are called "hormones" in the body. They are fat soluble. They get stored in your fat cells when surplus and released when burned. Meaning, you may experience the same depression or anxiety you did that caused initial weight gain as you lose weight. Be prepared to work through your pain to keep the weight off. Your body encapsulated those surplus hormones to protect you from overload and death. Push through and keep going. Once they are gone, you will feel great again! REDUCTION CYCLE (FLOW + PLATEAU) Finally, weight loss follows a cycle. You will lose for 10-17 days, then you will plateau or even gain a few pounds for 10-17 days. During the loss time, you are resetting your "weight bracket." This is the weight range that your body is now set to. It usually is a 10-20 pound range that you will fluctuate in. You fat may feel squishier during this phase. During the plateau phase, your body will feel a bit swollen and your fat will be harder all over. You are retaining fluid so that your body can break down the surplus tissues and waste from fat burning. Drink a lot of water during this time. Then, when the plateau ends, you will pee and poop a lot. Then you will find , if you keep exercising and eating right, your weight bracket will drop 5-10 pounds and you will repeat this cycle starting at a new, lower weight bracket. I hope this helps!
This is a good way to end up in a mental hospital for starving yourself you should not be in a calorie deficit you should be getting the amount of calories you're supposed to have constantly being in a calorie deficit will only make you gain weight your body will think you're starving every bite you eat will be saved as fat
A calorie deficit means that the number of calories you burn exceeds the number of calories you eat, which results in weight loss. Creating a calorie deficit that’s too large can lead to health risks. I always stress the importance of a healthy calorie deficit.
Ahh but that's because Taylor's main skill is not singing. It's 1. Songwriting and 2. Performing. That alone is enough to make her iconic!
Yess I totally agree all of them things makes her iconic by far!
Interesting convo.. Chris vocals arent on the same level as Ushers true but Chris is a better dancer and better song writer. Both of their stage shows are dope.
I always figured Chris brown got his style from Usher
True
The answer is Usher!!!! That’s all
Team breezy
Team Usher all day ❤️🔥
Team breezy!!!
👏🏼👏🏼🤠🤠
Yeah brother! Well said 😉
🙏🏾
Whitney is not RnB. Shes always thrown into the RnB mix because shes black. The industry has a habit of putting black pop artists straight into the RnB category.
You'd need to do a male and female r and b mount Rushmore
I think I agree with you!
When you said whatchu say 😂😂😂
😂
Whitney getting booed at that award show says way more about the crowd and the audience than her talent. Also, since "Pop" is short for popular, It really has more to do with their success than what they put out sonically. I also think when we do these music lists we gotta do them by decade/era. Theres no way this list isn't already full by 1968 😂 Aretha Luther Smokey Whitney Michael
