I used to weigh 630 pounds. I have been overweight all my life. I was close to death. I was written off by everyone, even myself. All of a sudden I woke up it seemed from my despair and I realized feeling sorry about my life wasn’t going to solve my problems. I decided to change my existence.

I weigh 229 now, I lost 401 pounds but I have excess skin. I wear a Large shirt and I can fit in a 34 waist. WEIGHTLOSS IS DONE! When I first started losing it was hard, I could only walk 500ft. I can now walk for days. I had problems doing everything, but I persevered over every obstacle. People used to laugh in my face, take pictures, and other degrading stuff. Now its another story getting buff, and so on. All within 3 years of starting. Crazy part is that I'm only half done! I want to be around 230 solid cut up when done.

I need surgery to remove excess skin, all my surgeries have been recorded for TV and will probably air next year. I have had 2 surgeries so far. One on Dec 7th and one on Feb 28th. These two surgeries removed 22.5 pounds of skin. The average person has 7 to 8 pounds of skin. My upper body is almost done I just need one more surgery. My lower body needs a inner thigh lift as well.

That's pretty damn impressive when I see stuff like this.

I watch The Biggest Loser and it amazes me how people can change physically if they really have the will and help of friends and family.

Like ive said in a dozen weight-loss threads on ES: The key to weight loss? Put the fork down and go running.

Seems like a simple concept, but one that too few people will actually put into action.

Good for this guy.

Thanks for the warnings on the pictures...next time I'll believe you.

Congratulations to him though. I'm sure it took alot of work and discipline and willpower.
