Right, where is my YouTube? So I can see all your comments here as well. Because obviously I can see your comments here but sometimes they disappear. So this way I'll be able to read them through. So this is my week 8 of my weight loss progress which I wanted to talk about really quickly. I am still losing weight which is amazing. But not as much as I did in the beginning. Hi, Ruciru. True. True. Hello, ASAS and Herman Shearsworld. I'm good, guys, I'm good. Today's been quite an emotional day for me. Oh, no, YouTube is saying very bad connection. Oh, no, guys, I hope you can still see me. Hi, Gary. Hello. Ciao, Loris. Hey. Hello, hello. Guys, let me know if you can see me because it's telling me that it's bad connection... Connection, not condension. I should know that. Hey, Mike. Hey. So, it's been quite an emotional day for me. I know I'm smiling a lot all the time. Oh, no, it's not sure what it says. I hope you can guys see me. It just says it's a very bad connection, but I don't know why. Because my internet's always the same. Okay, okay. Anyway, as I was saying, if you can't hear or see me, then just let me know. Today, my friend Mike, he released, well, he started his podcast and he released, and very first episode was about me. And I'm talking about something which I have never talked about before. It's my personal life. So it was quite emotionally draining for me today because obviously I had to listen to it again and it always upsets me so I was actually quite upset today. So if you do want to listen to it, if you do want to know more about me then do download it. I will post the links after this live and also I think Mike might be on this chat so he can actually include the link there if you want to download it on iTunes or Acast. Just download the app and you can listen to it. But yeah, I talk a lot about my past and I know I'm not sure what's going on with my connection. Hi Tom, Anderson, hi Gary, hi Abbas. Okay the links don't work on the chat so I'll just have to include the links afterwards. But yeah so do give it a listen. Do subscribe to his podcast. I can't even speak today anymore. And give it five stars if you like it. And most importantly message me privately when you do listen to it because I've been getting messages all day and it's been really really nice. Although it's very very upsetting. Um, but anyway, um... i will leave all the links and talking about my progress i'm still losing weight so i've lost um I've lost about six kilos now in total. So it's quite a lot. That's one stone and just a little bit more maybe. And I'm losing a lot of weight. So I'm just going to show you like a lot of weight I lost on the upper body. So you can see now, you know, the stomach is a lot flatter. So, um... So I'm feeling really, really good. My arms are getting thinner, like My legs, everything is kind of getting smaller, which is amazing. I will post the before and after pictures once I reach my goal. That's all. Um. He he he. Hello, Glenn. Hi, Baltic Crew. Hey, thanks. Yeah, the podcast is very emotional, going back to that. So definitely have a look at that. Listen to it. Oh, no, I'm frozen again. Okay. YouTube is playing up with me today. Bye. Bye. Yeah, so if you just look for that Mr. Christopher in iTunes, it will come up. And obviously, I'm the first episode, so it's quite easy to find. My arms, yes, so I've lost only one centimeter on my arms and I've talked to my friend who does fitness and he said that arms is like the last place to go because they have the smallest amounts of fat, even though I really don't like them right now because they're quite big. But I am losing a lot of, you know, fat on my belly, on my stomach and you can see drastic kind of change. You can see really, really big difference, which I'm really happy. Terry, you're diabetic, how do you diet? Diabetic, I'm guessing you can't have any sugar, so the best diet I would suggest for you is like raw vegan diet or just a vegan diet in general. You will eat a lot of vegetables and that should kind of cure you, hopefully. Hello, Sanderson, hello, hello. Yeah, so generally there is no such thing as a diet, like I mentioned before, just eat healthy, eat a lot of fruit, eat a lot of vegetables. and I'm eating a little bit more fish. I haven't actually had a lot of meat since I've gone off my vegan diet, but I'm still eating just when I feel like it. But you can see also my face has gotten thinner. If I put my hair away, you can see that I'm losing fat in my face, in my cheeks, which is great because actually... I like this look, someone told me the other day that my face got thinner, which I'm not sure if was a compliment or it wasn't because they told me I used to look a bit more chubby before. So technically I'll take that as a compliment. oh yeah thank you very much congratulations on your russian dessert competition yeah so um some of you follow me on social media probably know i've entered a russian bake-off competition in london in south kensington and i won guys i won i won with the best cake i wouldn't say that my cake looked at the best like it looked really good but the taste Apparently, I had all the judges because the taste was incredible, so I'm so, so, so happy. I will post a video about this probably this Friday. I will try my hardest to edit it for you guys and post it on time. Thank you very much for your time. And yeah, and then I'll also give you the recipe for the winning cake. Oh, my bra is coming off. I'll give you the recipe for the medovik, which I made, which is a honey Russian layered cake, which is amazing. Let me just say it. Yeah, and then you can make it yourself and surprise everyone. Right, Rishi, you're really pretty, thank you so much, that's very kind, yeah, Ali is a Russian bake-off champion, have my boobs gotten smaller? Yes, they have, a little bit, in the very beginning, but they have stopped now, so I haven't actually lost any more boobs, so you can see that, like I've shown you before, if I just make my top tight, you can see there's still quite a big belly here, But it's getting smaller, and hopefully, as this challenge is a very long challenge, because once you lose fat in the very beginning, it goes off really quickly, and then it just takes longer and slower for you to lose fat and weight. So you have to be patient. We like how you look too. Congratulations. Thank you. Yeah. Yeah, don't worry, Mike. I'm used to all this personal stuff. This is fine. Subtitles by the Amara.org community You like the little chubby cheeks. Well, I think I prefer how I look now because I feel healthier. I have a lot more energy. Like before, I would feel quite lazy getting up in the morning. And now I'm completely fine. Like I get up and I have energy. I don't feel lazy as well. That's That's one thing that changes and I'm just constantly wanting to do stuff so So I guess I'm in fact burning more calories because I'm exercising more. So it's also a great tip guys, once you start eating healthy, losing the weight, you start to feel better about yourself, you put the clothes on, you try some clothes on and you feel like they're loose on you, so it makes you feel much better. Thank you Abba, congrats! You also like this look, you like my cakes, you always try to make my cakes. Yeah, you should definitely try more of the cakes and maybe healthier cakes and stuff. I'm going to go and get my stuff. Does Milo also exercise with you? No, but he's just here. Milo, come here, come here, sweetie, come here. Okay, he's running away from me, it's fine. But yeah guys, this is just a quick video. I wanted to keep everyone updated on my progress and also what I've been up to, so today is, yeah, like I said, it was a really big day for me because something really personal came out, so like I said again, go listen to the podcast, that way you'll get to know more about me, where I come from, what's my story, what's my background, and I've never done anything like this before, so it's kind of like really exclusive. Yes. Hey Jack Gamer, how long you exercise for? Plus you're beautiful. Thank you. Well, I exercise actually pretty much every day. And yesterday I did really intense workout for 30 minutes. So I exercise probably three times a week, very intensely for 30 minutes. So it's not even that much, but it's very intense. Like I'm sweating. I'm, I'm... I'm so sweaty. If you see some of my Instagram stories, you can see I have literally sweat pouring down and I do not look pretty. I literally look gross. But I'm not one of those people that are going to put makeup to go to the gym. If I go to the gym, I'm going there to sweat, to work out, to lose the fat and be determined. And yeah, so... definitely and then today I was supposed to go to the gym but I had quite an emotional day so I didn't actually go um but I would usually just do some sort of light walking like a brisk brisk fast-paced walking or I would do you know swimming or light jogging or anything like that but the weather has been awful I mean it's summer it feels like Really depressing. It just does not go with my mood today and how I feel. So yeah, I Yeah. Hehehe. Hehehe. I've binged watched like 20 of your videos at once one afternoon Terry. That's amazing. I don't think anyone ever binged watched my videos So maybe if they have they haven't told me so that's cool Cool. You were checking out Ukrainian recipes and your stuff came up. That's awesome. I'm really glad that some of my stuff is coming up. So, that's pretty cool. Can we take your meal plan or any idea about diet meals? Yes, I mean, I will be sort of putting something together like an e-book about some sort of like ideas where you can like kind of eat, what's, you know, depending on your diet. and like what i ate to lose weight because i think diet is really really important so it's probably about 80 percent of what you eat guys you can exercise even 300 hours a day but if you don't actually eat good food like by good food i just mean Really healthy stuff, like lean proteins, lean meat, lots of vegetables. The amount of vegetables I ate when I was doing the vegan diet, it's insane. So try to get those vegetables in a smoothie. Just put everything, avocado, cucumber, spinach, kale, mint, and then add maybe an apple or some berries to give it a better taste. And trust me, it's going to be amazing. Thank you for the hug. I really need the hugs today. I've been feeling quite sad. I'm happy about my progress, but I've been feeling quite emotionally sad and drained. And my sister's coming home soon, so she's going to give me a hug. And yeah, I just... I think it's good that I've opened up to you guys and specifically for those who already read the podcast, listened to the podcast, you've messaged me back and you've told me how much it meant to you. So I really, really appreciate that. And I think it was a good decision to make. I'm starting to speak. Like I said, it's just still like emotionally draining for me a little bit. And I think talking about, you know, experiencing depression, talking about losing someone you love and talking about, you know, such personal things, I think that apply probably to a lot of you, but people don't talk about them that much. And I think we should, you know, I'm sure that I'm not alone in saying that we all felt down or depressed at any point of our lives where it It was really difficult or, I don't know, you just didn't want to live anymore. I mean, I know it's quite extreme, but I won't go into too much details. But if you do listen to the podcast, you will understand what I'm saying. But I think it's just good to resonate with everybody. And for those of you, again, who follow me on social media, you will know that that's why I got so upset about the recent attacks in London. It really, really upset me. So I kind of feel like I've been on a bit of an emotional rollercoaster from... From the attack, which was on Saturday up to today, it's just been a bit of a weird mix of feelings. Because my friend, she's like my best friend, she was actually at the scene of the attack and she hid in the toilet and she survived. So it just really was really upsetting to me because anything to do with my close friends or family or anything right now, especially what I've been through, it's just really, really upsetting me. Oh, sorry, I missed all your questions. Jack, how many languages can you speak? I'm I can speak four languages. I speak Russian, Latvian, English and a bit of German. I speak a little bit of French, but I'm not going to say I'm fluent. And I understand Spanish too. Ooh, Chiquita! Okay, I just understand it. I didn't say I can speak it. I don't need it. Thank you, Mike. Big hugs. We love you, too. I love everyone, guys. Thank you, everyone, because it means a lot. Hi, Byron. Hello, darling. You like my choker. Thank you. Yeah, it's really cute. I'm glad you like it. Привет. Привет. Спасибо за твое видео. Пожалуйста. How's that? Gary. I'm sure it's scary living in London now. Yeah, I was a bit scared. I'm okay today. Like, I'm not even sure about being here. This is what happens when you do a live video because Milo, my sister's coming in, so Milo's at the door going mad. I can't. Okay, guys, well, this was just a quick update. Thank you, everyone. I think I locked my sister out, so I'm going to have to finish shortly. shortly.
