This video is the reason I decided to get off my butt and do something about my weight. Today is day five of eating healthy and working out everyday. I watch this video almost every night before I go to bed. It keeps me going and makes me feel like I can do it too. Just wanted to say great job and thank you so much for sharing your experience. You are truly inspiring.

[Bacondood78]

My Gym teacher is the one that inspired this guy, she is seen exercising with him in his living room. She tells us this story all of the time. It is so inspiring. Everybody should see this video

This guy proves all that it takes is hard work and determination.

Congratulations. Keep it up...

andy bernard nipples lol

[LeLuneBrune]

Nice video! Inspirational too!

[MsPropain]

Totally in love with this guy!

[LHS427]

I'll never forget the feelings I felt when I crossed the line to my first half-marathon, and I'm sure I'll be even more proud when I complete my first full marathon in March. Training every day, racing every week, with the goal to place top 25. Running doesn't just help you physically, but mentally as well. It's amazing.

[Poi159]

Great video dude! I follow the same path you have taken. I was so depressed and unhappy with my self. Eventually took a hold of me. But I decided enough is enough and hit the gym then after took up running. And I kept on running ever since. Keep up the good work. I know I will! :)

[ferrariguy25]

man.....

[wyliee2]

[uppereastsidegirle]

lost some inspiration and motivation the past 7 days, watching this to get it back. thank you! I'm going to play this whenever I'm feeling low or doubting myself. I want this so bad, I get in spurts where I will exercise, then my head gets in the way and I will stop and revert back to old habits. I'm so lost:( I want to do this so bad.

[ultrazyn]

my hero

[izzyale101]

Wow.. He is my inspiration now!!! And man is he hot now!(:

[matkosi]

Very good video! by the way my friend used this famous weight reduction plan called: Impact 790 Diet and got rid of 7 kgs within a month. I do not remember the exact site just Google it.

[free2blink]

Im a Runner and was looking through youtube to find inspiration to continue training and yours was just truly Inspirational. Thank you. :D

[batu53trabzonspor]

[JackJordan17]

forest gump?

[kavacan14]

When My Sister first showed me this I cried..I couldn't believe that you ran so much. My Mom kept saying if I excersized that I would get thinner but I just couldn't believe her. Now since I watched this I feel inspired to start walking with my dog everyday before it's too late. Thank You for Your Insperation. If it wasan't for this video...I wouldn't be taking a walk everyday.

[thenewfitgirl]

awesome work!!!

[CathyMevik]

You are a HANDSOME marathoner and ironman! <3 So glad your happy again!

[EliteGuardian]

Reminds me of a simple but inspiring quote: "You can have anything that you're willing to struggle for." Brilliant video :)

[sheargold]

I come back to this over and over again. You have inspired me so much! I have dropped 77 pounds since I first watched this and I have started running, very slowly right now, I'm still about 250 pounds, but it's just one foot after the other. I'm doing life too!

[lolax132]

Thats wwas so humbling, you made me cry. Thank you so much for sharing this :')

[TheRosa63]

running while still obese that is brave. I am doing the peak 8 exercise thing, using my treadmill to run, weights and walking my dogs. taking gtf, supplements, taking apple cider vinegar and raw honey, my diet is low gi/low carb. this diet seems to be helping me in all areas but it is slow it is not for people in a hurry. several of my friends did low gi or low carb and some both and are doing great. many kept it off for years. your awesome. a good articles to read is stephanies seneffs blog.

[TransparentJoy]

Beautiful! Keep focused!!!

[pman111]

Awesome. Simply awesome. I'm going to get off my butt and go for a run.

[Road2Slim]

Holy Cow . That was so inspirational! I just opened my youtube channel today to start my own journey to lose at least 50 lbs in the next 12 weeks. I wanted to get an idea for a documentary and this was the first video I watched. Please join with me. I could use the support. Thanks!!!

[azwakko]

[lucyloquette]

Wow! This is an amazing story, brilliant, what a great guy and well done for sharing, very motivational, I'm training for my first marathon at the age of 50 and need all the inspiration I can get. Thank you. x

[chclayto8]

hey that is awesome man keep up the good work you should be very proud!!!

[openuniverse2003]

A FIVE HOUR marathon??? FIVE HOURS??? Shit, I could have WALKED that in five hours! You think we should be impressed?

[TheSmallLion]

@openuniverse2003 Well, my dear friend, I invite YOU to DO IT and give me news :)

[iLikeNapkins]

@openuniverse2003 I dearly hope you're joking, you ignorant prick.

[openuniverse2003]

@iLikeNapkins 5 hour marathon = 12 minute miles = VERY slow jog. Glacial, in fact. Ever seen a glaciar move? It's like it's just standing there. Understand, you ignorant prick?

[iLikeNapkins]

@openuniverse2003 a Marathon = 26.2 miles. He ran it in 4 hours and 45 minutes. Is this video titled "World's Fastest Marathon"? NO! It's his journey of losing 120 pounds and pursuing his love of running. You stupid prick, how can you comment something so ignorant on such a touching video. I don't give a flying fuck if you're fat, troll ass can say you can run a marathon faster? I doubt you'd even be able to run for a whole 10 minutes without collapsing you dumbass. Let's see you do it.

[openuniverse2003]

@iLikeNapkins Boo hoo hoo hoo!!!! You are mean! You hurt my feelings! WAAAAAA!!!!!!!!

[ShaggMobile]

@openuniverse2003 hey not every one has the same goals in life. not every one is built the same way..some are a little heavier..some are not..you might be one of the lucky ones that doesnt have to work your a** off like the others...but you sir have no right to hate on other's goals in life, i would love to see you this size and lose 120 pounds its not easy..great video

[viperdude281]

@openuniverse2003 You completely missed the point of the video

[inLife2012]

your hot!

[torridluv]

Amazing, you look great who know there was a super hottie underneath there.

[uppereastsidegirle]

watching this as motivation before I hit my treadmill today. I'm going for one mile nonstop today:) 

[Jenessa729Carey]

You are a true inspiration. I am trying to do what you have done, but often lose motivation. You have motivated me. Thank you!

[caroltms]

Whats the title of that song

[xnn070409]

@caroltms fix you by coldplay but sound like it is sang by boyce avenue

[liiisalolz]

[yellowcanarystudios]

And the whole video, I'm sitting here eating yogurt with a fork because I'm too lazy to get a spoon...

[JustInCaseDesigns]

1 year ago I watched this video. 1 month before that my wife had left me. I was overweight, depressed, and didn't have an idea of what to do. This video was my "light bulb" moment. I was at 262. I'm at 210 now. Still have another 25 or so to go, but I ride about 20 miles a day, am signed up for multiple races and more importantly, I'm happy. Thank you.

[ValerianGirl]

I have watched many,many weight loss videos recently. Yours was the best. You completely changed your life and almost made me cry watching it. I just recently started changing my life and have been discouraged by the people in my life who are trying to tell me what I "can't" do. Amazing. You look so much younger and healthier and happier, congratulations!

[omnipotence99]

Goosebumps....

[HIM4NOS4WXZ]

RUN FAT ASS RUN!

[benyboy456789]

when he said "I kept on running" one thing came to my mind...RUN FOREST RUN

[Kking142Love]

bloody nipples  i cringe every time

[ashleymarrix0x0]

Thank you do much ! You are the inspiration I needed to get back on track !

[MrSlowestD16]

No offense or anything...but what the heck was this life changing inspiration?

[jboydsweet]

one of the black screens should read "And then I was hot."

[Kimmehface]

you are an inspiration...but not just for people who want to lose weight...also for people who just want to change or have goals and maybe think they can't....But this proves that you CAN do whatever you want and you CAN change yourself with a lot of hard work and dedication. WILLPOWER is what is's all about! thank you for sharing your story :)

[jantey09]

Wow what an inspiration you are x

[setplay]

Very inspirational to this 56-yr-old OUT OF SHAPE grandmother who NEEDS a little inspiration to TRY! Thank you!

[mantaray]

Whats the diet like? Ive been jogging for a while now.. And it doesnt seem to lose those fats.. Hope to get a reply.. Thanks:)

[rucha101]

you were good looking before your weight loss but you're HOT now. and your grandma looks much happier in the second photo ;)

good job.

[jasminechase]

wow its crazy how fast you can loose the weight! very inspirational.. keep it up!

[ariaskylarpettyfer]

Moving and inspirational =')

[UnderDogFourSix]

He combined these with various pictures and videos of himself running in an assortment of marathons. Aided by Coldplay's hit single "Fix You" he made this very video and on September 13th, 2010 posted it to youtube and from there...history

[UnderDogFourSix]

Then in 2010, he took up editing. It was confusing at first but slowly, over time, he started getting the hang of it. He discovered Windows Movie Maker on his 2008 Sony Vaio. He started making videos like "Cat watches birds" and "Kanye West- Stronger (cover)". From there he became even more fascinated and went in search of more things to videotape. He stumbled upon a photo album filled with pictures of himself dating back to childhood.

[chemblue91]

GO fat boy slims! I went from 90kg to 60kg all because of a 100bucks bet! Come on, it doesn't matter if u were fat all your life. What matters is that you dare to take the first small step with determination, and it'll just bring you along. YOU CAN DO IT!

[96515325]

Bloody nipples... I cringe at it. Run shirtless next time.

[KurvyKryst]

Ben this is all I need to keep myself motivated. Every time I watch this, I want to cry because I know it's so hard to lose weight and keep it off so I really appreciate this. Thank you for your story and thank you for being such an inspiration! <3

[drsgtpepper69]

You didn't lose a relationship cause your fat, you lost it cause you like Coldplay

[taylorfarm]

Thank you SO much for sharing your story. Goosebumps AND inspiration to keep going on my own fitness journey!

[MrsEvil101]

tingles and tears. thank you for sharing x

[Sharijo87]

your awesome dude, great job your face of real encouragement

[JJMDibbs]

if you could please answer this what was your inspiration?

[Razman3]

Dude this gave me the shivers

[johnny44speedy]

75 dislikes thats rude!!

[Rhiteebeerhi]

WOW.. Well done :) Very good looking man!

[pantsarehard]

I guess i have to be the downer for this video. Being overweight is one thing. Being overweight, balding, and over 30, and single, and having been single for over a decade, and depressed, it's not as easy to just "lace up the runners and start running". Shitty job, bad health, and living in a shit-tacular city (Vancouver) where women only want money and nothing else, running alone can't do it. Oh well, some ppl get fit, some ppl just fade away. Such is life.

[ItssBrian]

@pantsarehard It wasn't easy for him but he did it anyway, and you can too if you want to.

[christian51100]

as much as i like the song, i don't think it was the right one for this video

[boxdude181]

Absolutely loved the video! Amazing accomplishments and an amazing story. I did see an Arkansas shirt, however, so I'd just like to point out that this Friday, Kansas State will be bringing the beat down on your team. Just saying ;)
