Well hello there, friend! I'm Andy!

I'm a curious guy who loves exploring history, new places, discovering fascinating stories, meeting interesting people, trying new things, finding good food, and occasionally getting myself into questionable situations.

This channel actually started with my weight loss journey, and that's still very much going on! But as I'm slowly losing the "chonk", I'm discovering more and more of the world around me. And rather than waiting until I've lost all the weight to start enjoying life, I figured I'd just get out there and do what I can, little by little.

Sometimes we're exploring an old castle or a tiny town, sometimes I'm trying something completely new, and other times we're just having a chat about life, weight loss, and whatever else is going on.

So, if that sounds like your kind of thing, welcome to the Chonk Tribe! ^_^

New video tonight at 8PM 👀
This one has been a LOT of work, but I’m genuinely really happy with how it came together.

We went inside Skokloster Castle and somehow ended up with a 17th-century time bomb, a portrait made out of fruit, one of the wildest armouries I’ve ever seen, and a bunch of stories I absolutely did not expect going in.
It’s a weird one. In a good way. 😅

See you at 8!

New video is up!
I went to Avesta looking for a “city of giants” and somehow that description turned out to be a lot more literal than I expected.

Giant Dala horse, a massive old ironworks, a waterfall with no water… and one final giant I’d been waiting to meet all day.

This one ended up being one of those trips where every stop got a little weirder than the last.

Watch it here 👇
Let me know which part surprised you the most.

I've got a small confession...

There won't be a long-form video tonight.

I've been teaching myself DaVinci Resolve over the past week, and while it's an incredible editor... it's also kicking my ass. 😅
Everything takes me about three times longer than it used to, and I'd rather take an extra day or two than rush something out that I'm not happy with.

The good news is that every hour I spend learning now should mean better videos for all of us going forward.

Thanks for sticking with me while I figure this out. I genuinely appreciate the patience. ❤️

Back to wrestling with the timeline...

🔴 Going live tonight!

I'll be live at 20:00 CEST / 2:00 PM EDT.

Thought it'd be fun to just sit down and chat for a while.

We'll be talking about:
• The future direction of the channel
• GLP1 / weight loss update
• What I've been learning lately
• A quick job hunt update
• And of course, plenty of Q&A.

Grab a drink, come say hi, and let's hang out for a bit. See you tonight! 🙌

I've been walking... A LOT. A WHOLE LOT! 😅

And next week, you'll get to see why.
Let's just say castles, cobblestones and a whole lot of steps are involved. 🏰

Quick little life update 👋

I’ve been a bit quiet on Shorts the past few days.

Real life has been full-on with interview prep and interviews, so content had to take a temporary back seat while I focus on getting that sorted.

The good news: the weight loss is picking up again and the scale is finally moving in the right direction 📉

So no, I haven’t kidnapped by a protein bar company 🙃. Just juggling real life for a minute.

Back to regular content soon 💚

PS: This is a flower i found on one one my walks, anyone know what it is?

Heya Chonk Tribe!

I'm changing the day for the longform from Saturdays at 3pm to Mondays.
This will give me a bit more time to work on them and also will be more balanced with the rest of the things going on beyond Youtube ^_^

Keep close, this Monday's vid will be quite nice.

Warm weekend to you all! 🙌

So I’ve been thinking a lot about where this journey goes next.

Not just losing weight.
But what I build while doing it. And I have an idea for something bigger.
Longer. More thoughtful. A bit more cinematic.

Weight loss… but mixed with history, places, movement.

Walking through old castles. Old towns. Forest trails.
Talking about rebuilding a body while walking through stories of the past.

Still in progress. Still real. Just… more layered.

I’ll probably be putting more time into those kinds of videos soon.

Shorts aren’t going anywhere.
But I want to build something that feels deeper too.

Would you watch something like that?

Christmas is in a few days. And i don’t really do big Christmas gifts.

But this is something that’s been part of my routine, and this post is sponsored by Lifesum.

There’s 55% off Premium if you need something practical for January.

Consider this my late Christmas gift to you ^_^

🎄 Last call for the holiday Chonk line.

This is the final week to grab the Christmas drop before it’s gone for good.
Hoodies, tees, cozy stuff made for December walks, slow mornings, and doing your best even when it’s dark at 3pm.

After this week, it’s done.
