Falling off the wagon is part of the journey. Showing the strength to get back on is what defines us. Its never too late

I've gained it back over and over and over. Let's make this our last change saloon 🎉

I’m going to start doing this with you! I’ve been lurking on fasting channels for the last 4 years! This is it. Started last night at midnight. Thank you for this! You’re perfect no matter what size! We just want you healthy and whole.

Be gentle with yourself, my friend. That's our biggest challenge in this life, to show love to ourselves. First and always..

Jerome!!!! I watched you live on your livestream, the last one from 2 years or more ago. I picked up that you were saying you might not be doing the videos for awhile. So what? You went away for a bit, that's fine. People should get over themselves - you needed space and time. I am so glad you are back and will join you on the fasting journey. But, you don't owe me or anyone anything. Be good to yourself. Yes, people care, but you focus on you xxx

We've got this, Jerome! I'm 14h into a 36h and feeling good! ❤

The universe is amazing. Your comeback ..the timing. It's just what I needed. I am so glad you are back.

I really don't understand people getting angry at you or anyone else who has lost weight and then gained it or some of it back.

Some of us are short. When you’re short it’s crazy how little you have to eat to lose weight. Unless you are made of muscle if you are short you have very little wiggle room so fasting gives you the ability to eat normally on you feeding days.

We're doing the twin thing again. I understand the concept of "All or nothing". When I'm on, the world is beautiful. But when I fall off, I'm in a state of total collapse. If I'm black-out eating, I'm also not minding my health, sleeping or exercising. I was feeling the urge to do some major damage this weekend but again you inspired me. So instead I just started a 75hr fast literally mins ago. Thanks Jerome!

For Kevin or the people that was carrying on and upset at him in the chat....GROW THE FCK UP!! He came online bearing his soul with a level of transparency he hasn't even been able to show family members. He is not your LORD and Savior! He's a human like all of us, and he's showing us how important it is to get back up no matter how hard you fall. How DARE you make it about YOURSELF. You want to come on here and attack a person who suffers from body dysmorphia, eating disorders, and depression?? Stop being selfish and seek therapy and guidance immediately.😡 #TeamJerome

I completed a 43 hour fast and felt great. I was not able to do a rolling fast but made it 24 hour on the next day. I am now going for another 40+ hour fast and will try to keep a 40 hour rolling fast.

Let’s do it together. I haven’t fasted in about 8 months. I’ve gained a little weight back but it’s time to go hard. Let’s get it together my guy. Let’s go

I am so proud of you. But I am starting today for my three months of rolling 72s fast and I have to go back to when you first started because you look like me then and then I’m gonna follow you till I like look like you. Listening to the way you fight your demons. Thank you so much. This is going to help me get where I’m going. You are such a motivator for me and I’ll be 75 July 5. That’s why I’m doing this so I can party for the rest of my time L O L.❤

Love seeing your true honest stories being shared and so open and vulnerable. Your experiences parallel mine very closely and hit so close to home it hurts and is a crazy eye opener. It's good to not be alone with these kinds of thoughts. Body image is something I've been conflicted with most of my life, food binges as an escape, being overweight is tough. It makes you want to avoid seeing people you love because you're not happy with yourself. I hope you do call your mom, life's too short to avoid your family. You're not alone with your experiences and journey. I went through my best self last year and went from 190lbs to a healthy lean 155lbs and two things got me there, watching your videos for inspiration while I did rolling 65 and 90 hour fasts and Muay Thai. The combination of extended fasting and an exercise addiction that I loved doing got me at one of the happiest places of my life. I'm in your place again, I bounced back, I got sick for a while, stopped doing Muay Thai, went into the food rabbit hole and spiraled. I weighed in at 198lbs and 30.5% body fat this week. I'm 5'7. My goal right now is 145lbs with 12.0% body fat. My goal is to do some of the rolling 90s along with you and combine it with weight lifting and kickboxing to hit my goal. Love being able to sync the times and have people to fast with. I'm starting tonight with a 65 hour to match yours and have dinner this Friday. I'll be starting a 90 hour fast on Saturday night. It's been at least 6 months since I've done a longer fast and I'm excited to get back to it. Thanks for being a catalyst for change. I'm excited we both got a taste of success so we can get back there, when we know it's achievable it's just consistency and mind over matter. Fasting is one of the most healthy feelings I've ever had in my life and I know it's not for everybody but if it works, it works. I'm along for the ride with you, I'm glad you're bringing along community from the beginning so we can work with you too! I hope you start a Discord channel so we can all have a place to communicate and share our goals/falls/triumphs. Good luck! You've got this!! 😃

Hey Jerome, forget about those who might be shocked by your weight gain, focus on you only. If that means staying away from others until you're comfortable with mingling, then do that. You should know, because we were totally unaware of the situation going on with you, theres going to be a reaction to that. We became very familiar with your channel and appreciated you sharing your experience with fasting with us, and then you disappeared, we honestly thought you had died based on serveral comments. That was shocking and troubling to hear and believe. No one that personally knows you, or you yourself came to let us know that you were in fact still alive but on histus. You shouldn't be surprised or put off by our reaction to your sudden reappearence. We know you were hurt and upset with gaining the weight back, but we too were hurt by what we thought was the reality. We are not bots out here, we are real people who had invested our time into you as a real person. Again, more than thankful for your return and realization that you are still alive, and still looking good, even with the added weight. We love you out here, and want the best for you!

I’m fasting w/u 39 hours in will be around 45 hours too when I’m home from work tonight. Will do the 65 then 90’s with you. Gonna keep myself accountable with you. SW 282.4, GW 180, CW 278.2

Jerome, no joke. My most recent therapy session: therapist suggested I get back to fasting and adopt more consistent sleep habits. I think we're on to something! When you shared about talking a walk for the first time in a long time (minute mark 27:40), I felt a HUGE smile break out down to my heart. Wanting to get outside and take a walk was a breakthrough moment for me in coming out of a deep depression. Therapy + fasting = winning team! 👍😃👍 And yes, please consider resuming "Break Fast" episodes. Somehow they help me even when fasting at the time I view them! So good to have you back, Jerome.

Am into 36 hours so far, doing this with you, aiming for 72

أنا لا افهم الا نجليزية كثيرا لكن افهم المضمون لاتتصور كم انا سعيدة لانك عدت من جديد انا اتبع فديوهاتك من زمن وكنت اتساءل عن غيابك انا كل يوم اعيد النضر لفديوهاتك لانها تلهمني كثيرا وتشجعني انا اقوم بتديور 72 الان منذ 17octobrولقد خسرت 9 kg المهم انك عدت منجديد هذه المرة سنخسر الوزن معا انا جد سعيدة بالتوفيق لكل واحد لا يياس ويعيد الكرة مهما حصل بالنجاح🎉

it happens to the best of us, so glad you're ok and very happy to see you back here x

You can do it. I really missed you. You were so helpful to me. I am just glad you are alright.

I am doing the fasts with you. My first one was 49.2, on to fast number 2. Thanks for coming back for us. Every time I get hungry, I just remember that you are fasting too, so it helps a lot.

So happy to see you back! I literally am in the same boat as you. Became motivated by the snake diet, lost a heap of weight, stopped fasting and couldn't start again and gained alot of weight back. Experienced lots of shame being around other people so became reclusive. I followed Maya on youtube and I got turned off the snake diet seeing how Cole humiliated her for failing to lose enough weight. Recently I found "A Healthy Alternative" on youtube, another fasting channel. They interview a wide range of people. It's uplifting and motivating. You might enjoy it too? Thanks for being so vulnerable with us. I look forward to continue seeing your face 😊

Huge thanks for being open and vulnerable, Jerome. We all go through those times where we may fall off but I’m glad your back on. You’ve inspired me tremendously and I’m so grateful for your transparency. We’re going to do this together friend.

I am 20nhours into a 36 hr fast and was tempted to break it but this video is the encouragement I needed to see it thru

I’m starting a fasting journey. Thank you for your vulnerability.

You came back at the right time for myself. I'm back at it with you.

You have a gentle spirit, I do pray you heal on a deep level.

Nah, ignore the silliness. Life happens and if we we're in your shoes, we probably would've done the same. TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF 1st and foremost ❤

I’m so glad you’re back!! Perfect timing . I ate today after 47 hours . But i can’t fast longer than that ! So you gained weight back ! It shows you’re human. I’ve been watching your channel and it motivated me to try. I’m going to do this with you ! I’m so happy you’re back ! We have a whole winter to do this !! So happy you’re back!

I think you should not give the negative comments the airtime you do, why would you when they are only a few trolls. You’ve done so much good and inspired so many people, if what you are doing makes someone else uncomfortable, that’s on them. They can watch something else…

Im fasting with you aswell. Its my first time in a long while doing a 60 hour fast so its exciting to me. Your doing great Jerome. Your going to get to your goal in no time. Thankyou for being an inspiration to all of us

You’re special remember that homie

Please make sure to incorporate strength training into your schedule. This is very important as it will help you stay on track with your weight loss goals. Strength training can add muscle to your body which can help to streamline and regulate your metabolism.

I’m restarting today, thank you for this inspiring video!! I’m tired of the binging and feeling guilty!! enough is enough !!

Remember, motivation only works in the momentum Discipline will surpass motivation… You can do it stay strong 💪🏻

I have missed your content so bad!! You are so very inspiring and it's life that happens, so glad you're back!!! I've let everything slide too and Willing to jump on the wagon again!

It takes a lot of courage to put urself out here like this…. Thank you for this and I’ll be tuning in and joining you on this journey

Good to see you back!

Good to see you again!

You continue to motivate! Thank you for the fasting tips, SO helpful!!

Sooooo excited you’re back 🎉🎉🎉

Hell yeah, lets do this! You have such good videos, very glad to see you back

This is awesome . So glad to see you back fasting.

I'm so proud of you!! Thank you for sharing this journey with us.❤

Good to have you back👏🏽👏🏽

Good stuff man, so happy you made it through your fast. Coming back to fasting after time away is always the hardest.🎉

SO SO SO SO STOKED YOU'RE BACK!!!!

I'm proud of you! Keep up the good work! 👍

So excited to start the this journey with you!

Good to see you back Jerome❤❤❤❤

Glad your back🤗

I am so grateful for you and these videos! ❤

I’m so happy to see you! Perfect timing for me….magical, even! I’m looking forward to hearing more of your voice. ❤

Discovered your channel from the r/fasting sub. Excited to see you fasting again and uploading your journey. I found the motivational interviewing workbook to help with my engagement with longer fasts/ staying compliant in my eating window.

I’m here for you and will fast with you!

Love this first 42 hour success Livestream! There are many more to look forward to! You are an inspiration to me

It’s great to see you!! 🙏🙏🙏🙏

Thank you Jerome. You are stronger than you think and braver than you realize. You are important to me and I’m so glad you’re sharing this with us.

So happy to see you back! I have rewatched many of your past episodes when I needed inspiration. I am in the same boat having regained all that I lost on keto/ low carb. I am feeling encouraged that I can restart this journey with you:)

I'm just so proud of you. I cannot even explain. Only finding this a few weeks later but I will be joining you on your journey!

Hey it’s Ron Wilson good to see you back, man I’ve been in the damn planning phase of fast for so damn long finally doing it. It’s funny I started today 🤙🏽

Thank you for this. I fell off the wagon too. Following your journey encourages me to try again.

I think it's amazing how vulnerable & real you being! I started dipping my toes into fasting this last summer & was really starting to enjoy it. As the weather started cooling off ...i have found it not so easy. I also have 4 kids that are pretty picky eaters i feed everyday that has made it a bit tricky for me to stay on track eating healthy when i do eat. You sharing is very motivating for me😊

Dude, I'm glad you are okay. I will also fast with you. Been looking for someone to start with.

Thank you I'm glad you coming back to the community I know it's hard it's like going to the gym for years then stop going it's hard going back.. I have to have lost a lot of weight just to gain it back. i'm going on the journey again also.

Great message to love yourself now, I'm on new medication and it's really helped me with my weight loss journey. Best of luck to you.

Catalyst for me! I was doing rolling fasts in the beginning of 2020 and it was working for me. Starting my first one as of my last meal last night thanks to you, not waiting until Monday. Thank you for what you do.

Thank you for sharing your fasting restart. It's very courageous and helps encourage many people, including me.🙂

Glad you are back! Not everything goes in a straight line. That doesn't mean you fail, just that you are still learning. You help me a lot and I missed the video's. I gained some weight to. Thank you.

You were missed glad you are back 🤗

I’m glad your back. I been doing 20 hr fast the last week and not much change in weight. I was thinking about snacking tonight and I’m happy to see your video on my feed again. Going to at least start doing 36 hour fast daily now. I’ve put on a lot of weight also this past year 😢.

Wow seein you only 3months ago im just speechless. YOU MADE IT. All i see is a warrior who go back to the battle field with strenght humility and love. Thank you, thank you Jerome❤

Jerome I hate I missed your live stream. I have my notifications on now so I shouldn't miss anymore. Hey when you find that folks are being negative just ignore them or better yet block them. Everyone is not gonna understand your journey. I truly understand and I've been there and I've done it times ten. Don't judge us. We are works in progress. Jerome we will win❤ So glad you're back. I'm so opened to being apart of that special group outside of you tube.

OMG You’re back!!!!❤ I’ll rast with you!

U can do this Jerome!!!! Be an inspiration to the many of us who sometimes fall off the wagon…. We’re human and we need a positive & honest example

so thankful for you!

Thank you for your videos. I like you had finally lost and then gained it all back plus 😢. You have motivated me to do a 30 day fast commitment, hoping I can continue until I reach my 55kg goal. I am 61 and have been over weight for 36 years. Blessed to not have health problems as yet but ready to be a healthy weight during my golden years. I am on hour 39 and am struggling. Scrolled down your videos and so happy to have found this one. Thank you for you inspiration 🎉

Welcome back. Mr. J 🎉

You Rock Jerome!!!!!

Good to see you! 😊😊

It’s so amazing to come across your beginning videos and then see where you are now! You’re so much more confident and no doubt a fasting ninja!🥷 Mastery level of fasting! Look at what you’ve accomplished!! Never doubt yourself 🤗😊😇

Yea well, I love your old ones! I use both first bunch and second bunch! I need them!!!

I love the refeed videos. It was how I found your channel and helped me through my fasting days. Lol

Hey!!!!! Thought about you about a week ago! Good to see you.

good to see you alive dude

You are an inspiration.

Thank you for coming.back. . Yes I want to do it with you.

I have diabetes and have been putting off testing lately too so this inspired me to test and document. I was thinking maybe a private Reddit group for the community? Also, you were so cute as a little kid! Have a great day Jerome and everyone!

I absolutely relate. Trying to get started.

Definitely miss the refeed videos. Can’t wait for them to come back.

exactly! you didn’t fail, the process isn’t linear. you are a skinny legend, no matter what. i’m 232 from 260’s and I’m gonna get down to 180s 28:27

Love the bass!😍🎵🎶

Just like any other skill set …. Practice Practice Practice - it takes time and effort to allow your mind and body to adjust to fasting. I do a 3,4,or 5 day fast once a month. The First 3 day fast I did 2 years ago was very rough - headaches and dry heaving. It gets easier.

I'm glad you are back. I figured you had left because you gained weight. We all fall off the wagon at some point. Again, glad you are back.

I just discovered your channel over the weekend, Jerome - and I’m impressed at your journey, and how you and I are rather similar in a sense. Both 43, both Chicago, and I also am trying to lose 50+ pounds (280-ish / 5-10’’), over the next 4 months, before my Wedding !! 😅 I’ve done 8-16 IF , 5 years ago, and dropped 53 lbs back then, though of course I stopped / fell off a bit, and over the next several years got back up close to my all-time high (286 something, !!). But, I know Fasting works well for me, and I’m gonna try your slightly extended version for a while, to see how it goes. I got that Zero app this morning, and today will be my last eating day …then try to fast 4 days (like your 90’s), and eat Saturday w Fiance etc (so we can still have a night out / dinner together/ couple stuff). Thanks for this channel and your playlist ! I’ll enjoy watching through everything 🎉 - IF Warriors, unite !

You seem like such a kind, genuine person that would be a great friend. Thank you for telling your story and being brave enough to face the issue head on and to start fasting again. Remember that all of the bears in the world eat like pigs for months, gain hundreds of pounds, and then they fast it off with a 4 month dry fast in winter. Fasting is nature’s cycle especially for predator species. The average lion eats 100 lbs of meat every 18 days. We’re not meant to graze like the herbivores do. We’re literally built to eat huge amounts of food when it’s available and then to not eat until the next kill. You’re not alone in being wired like this; we all are. In fact, it’s the people who don’t gain and lose weight quickly that have the bad digestion and metabolism. Our modern lives do not line up with our nature, so we all struggle with it. Hang in there.

That’s crazy how your body does the transition with ease even with your illnesses.

Let's go buddy. We can do it.
