MINI SEXIFICATION 2025 RESULTS!! For context, I’ve been on a weight loss break since March 21st, after filming the videos you’re all now watching in Arkansas, Oklahoma, and Missouri… I tried 4 times this morning, but the scale kept saying the same thing... 308.6 lbs (140 kg)!! That means what within the past 6.5 weeks during my break from food challenges, I've lost 49.8 lbs (22.6 kg), down 13.9% from where I started on 3/21/25. I virtually rode over 1,045 miles, averaging over 10 hours per week, so 64 hours & 33 minutes total. I'm happy with the results!! Now that I'm down to posting just one video per week, I'll have more time available during all my upcoming summer travels with @KatinaEatsKilos for extra activity, so I can better maintain my weight and not gain so much back, like I have on past tours. Thanks for all support, whether positive or utter nonsense, and I look forward to seeing everybody in Eastern Tennessee this weekend, and then Boston & New England!!

BIG thanks to everyone who has watched our new video this week!! I wanted to post an update that I should’ve let you all know earlier this year!! As many of you know, I started working on my Master of Science in Dietetics in August 2021 after @KatinaEatsKilos and I moved to Milwaukee, Wisconsin that July!! Well, I finally finished and graduated this past December 2024!! I didn’t travel back up north to “walk” at the graduation ceremony, but I did receive my diploma earlier this year in the mail!! I’m very excited and relieved to be all finished up with grad school and I’m looking forward to starting my new RDN YouTube channel this Fall ‘25 after we get back from all our upcoming summer travels to New England and parts of Europe!! Thanks everybody for your support and lots more videos are upcoming!!

Happy Thursday everyone!! I have some bittersweet news to share, since I'm sad but also excited for everything upcoming in the future. Last week marked the final week of me posting TWO dedicated restaurant food challenge videos per week on this "Randy Santel" YouTube channel. I've been filming videos for over 15 years now. This photo at Stella's in Bellevue (Omaha), Nebraska with their "Stellanator" Burger Challenge was taken on my 24th birthday in June 2010. I'm 38.5 years old now and it's tough to maintain my weight as one of the few food-digesting professional eaters (FDPEs). I've been filming over 104 challenge videos per year ever since I can remember, I think dating back to 2014 when @MagicMitch and I bumped up to posting 2 new videos per week on the channel. Starting this week, I'll just be posting one video consistently on Mondays. I might do a few livestream Q&A videos every now and then, and I'll likely add second videos sometimes, but for now I'll mainly be posting once per week like Adam @Beardmeatsfood and @KatinaEatsKilos do... just not on Sundays. Cheers and BIG thanks to everybody who has been watching both videos each week for the past decade, and I look forward to starting my new nutrition & weight management channel as a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RDN) towards the end of summer after we get back from our European travels, filming lots of videos so I can take a long break and get down closer to 250lbs again, which I'll maintain as a dietitian moving forward once I'm actually retired... eventually!!

Happy Monday everyone!! Because I posted a video this past Friday, and live-streamed a 6lb BBQ Sandwich Challenge yesterday in Edwardsville, Illinois, I'll post our next new video tomorrow, rather than today. A 70 Chicken Wings Challenge in Grand Rivers, Kentucky!! A BIG life event happened for @KatinaEatsKilos and me yesterday, in front of lots of family and friends, after I finished my sandwich challenge. The link is in the comments for anybody interested in watching either the challenge or just the surprise ending!! Thank you all for your continued support and we will post details in 2025 when a date is set and more details are figured out!! youtube.com/live/2377kQeZuz4

Happy Labor Day Weekend!! @KatinaEatsKilos and I just got back this weekend from a 2-month long tour that included Florida (Treasure Coast & Orlando), Norway (Bergen), Sweden, Denmark, and Finland!! Not to give away any results, but I have food challenge victories in 44 countries now!! Six more to go, to reach 50 countries total. Best of all, I filmed 26 videos during the trip, which will post in order, two videos per week, for the next 13 weeks, starting tomorrow!! Sexification 2024 begins tomorrow as well, to kick off my long break, and I'm excited for the initial weigh-in and "before photos." Thanks everybody for your support and I hope you all enjoy the many videos upcoming, courtesy of @natefiggs who produces them all!!

Katina and I are officially just Nashville, Tennessee residents now, since the Milwaukee house closed and transferred ownership yesterday!! @KatinaEatsKilos and I celebrated by going out to see @BillBurrOfficial who was hilarious once again!! It has been a big week, since my graduate school research courses finished up, and also yesterday I started serious weightlifting again, rather than just spinning (cycling) for a huge majority of my exercise time. Lots to be thankful for, and we are excited for everything upcoming, since we will be focused on doing food challenges in other parts of the USA and rest of the world, now that the Milwaukee home is sold. BIG thanks again to all our friends in Wisconsin we met the past three years, and we look forward to meeting everyone around Tennessee soon!!
