That is amazing!

Oh my lord!  I feel so bad for this guy!  I am glad his life has improved.  I wouldn't have lasted as long as he did.

WOW! Talk about inspiration... and just think having to have 30 lbs of skin removed afterwards (thats pretty much the weight I want to lose all up)

Its fantastic to have people like him out there... I dont think I would be able to handle it!

Wow thats so incredible, you can see he was glowing of pride and happiness. His trainer was incredibly good too, about the babysteps, many trainers make it too hard for the person, so they gve up.

That "highs and lows every other day" thing was a good place to start, kudos to his awesome and knowledgable trainer. Never seen better. Im baffled. And after he lost all the weight, its like his face had suddenly got a unique appearence with the original unique characteristics. Many times an obese persons characteristics are covered up by the fat, and they just like like. Blah. Amazing how he had "developed" (he's always had it, just didnt show) very uniqu (not to mention good looking) facial features.

I know a guy who lost as much as I weigh now (about 230)

It would be like he was toting me around everywhere he went.

When I met him he wouldn't eat in front of anyone.

Always out of breath.

He believed that he could never get a job.

He figured that nobody would ever want him.

Then he got one of the surgeries for really really obese people.

(no, I'm not advocating that method)

Then over the next year he lost as much as I weigh.

The last time I saw him he was with his new girlfriend and he was

bitching about his job and how he could do better.  And he did!

To see the change in this man was truly heart warming

wow.  this is absolutely amazing.

and inspiring!

and holy hell he's cute!! ;)

this story made my morning! <3

That is so amazing! I love reading success stories. And what a cutie! Thanks for sharing.

he's cute but he got face sugery to "enhance his features" and dental work. That's what they said on the documentary.

Well, they didn't just completely redo his bone structure. They got rid of the excess face fat.

 They redid his teeth too. They were really bad before. And I think he got laser eye surgery because he used to wear glasses.

I found this documentary hard to watch. It's great that he lost the weight but he was so socially awkward! He had to learn how to live in real life in his 20s.
