  • this was a very inspirational video. I just started my journey and you have really given me a lot to think about. thank you for taking the time to share your very eloquent words of encouragement.

    

  • I am on the eve of losing my 100th pound. I started at 553Lbs last year. Its been a whole year and I know that I will hit my long fought-for goal by New Years. Since then, so much has changed. I am a whole new person. I packed my bags and moved to search for a career. I knew that people judged me when I would come in for an interview. And although I am still big, I know that my chances at having a career, a better life, and a good future are closer with every pound I drop. Thank You So Much =)

  • The plateau..... Yeah, I am on week 8 of mine. Killing myself and not losing a freaking pound! But like you said you just don't quit. You've done great! You should be so proud of yourself.

  • good for you. Im trying to do the same...lol With Gods help one pound at a time...almost lost 40 now.

    Proud of you....stay strong and never go back!!!! :)))

  • @DorayDExplore Yeah.. Im also trying my best to look slimmer.. Good thing my friends recommended me this diet program site WeightLossAction.Info.. The result was pretty perfect.. I lost a bunch of weight in a few weeks.. :)

  • you lost Tim Tebow :)

  • Your comment about not giving up is so important to me this moring. I have been losing weight, going to Zumba dance classes 3-5 times a week, really watching what I eat, and after a good start of losing weight, the scale got stuck and I stopped losing weight this last month. Thank you for reminding me to NOT QUIT!

  • thanx! i love this video. Im sooo happy for u! :)

  • as much as i do now people always doubt that i can do anything of course ill get tired fast and probably ruin the fun but i still try my hardest to stay up with them i always tell them no im not tired lets keep going but now that ive seen your vid i know that maybe being athletic isnt everything? i dont know but if you look at your comments please inbox me on what you think i should do since im very athletic and the weight wont come off id really love your advice

  • request that i take it the whole year and i joined the ymca for to work out there i did it for about half a year i never saw a difference in myself but others did i said why do it if im not the one seeing the difference so i stopped going and all the weight came back now im a senior graduation is coming fast and i do not wanna be there like this one thing i do not get about my body is that im very athletic i can do everything average sized people do i can ever run as fast as they do an weighing

  • i feel every bit of what you said especially when you said you didnt wanna die young -_- i mean im 18 now and every since the third grade ive been over weight started at 203 and now im about 350 maybe a lil more and my family and doctors a lot of people are always telling me "if you dont do anything about it your gonna die before the age 18" im glad i made it whilst almost got to death once or twice during that i mean in the 7th grade i have tried working out i had P.E the whole year my doctor

  • Thank you for all the videos you make. I hope one day you reach your goal weight of 200 pounds. Re-watch all your old videos to inspire yourself. Work hard! You're doing great! I love watching your videos everyday before hitting the gym, especially this one.

  • You are an inspiration! You are also a very handsome man!

    AttackThatFat(dot)net

    I've lost 9lbs so far in the month of May and hopefully next month will be more of the same. I'm so happy :)

  • This video was very inspirational to me. I was searching on youtube reviews for diet pills and stumbled upon this instead. I think now i want to try and lose the weight on my own!

  • @TaraB972 You can do it. Quick fixes and gimmicks won't work, but believing in yourself and working hard will. You can't go wrong with it, all the best on your journey!

  • You have just completely lifted my spirits! Thank you soooo much. :) You are my biggest inspiration. :) <3

  • Thank you for doing this! You are a real inspiration! God Bless you! Keep going!

  • I've lost 93 lbs in over a year, coming down to 212 pounds, sometimes its very hard to keep sticking with it, and your video among others, have really inspired me. I only have 42 more to go, until i am 170, which is a healthy weight for me. Thank you!!

  • Wow it must been hard! but good for you that you made it i hope you feel happy for it :)

  • wow! good for you bro you did it man keep it up your making yourself a great inspiration for the world!

  • @caleb9608 if you want to talk, add me as a friend on here or message me for my e-mail. I would be glad to help you figure something that works for you out, but remember I am certainly not perfect either!

  • @caleb9608 It's all good, forreal. A couple of suggestions that helped me get going:

    You have to keep the ultimate goal in mind. What are you trying to change? Why are you trying to change?

    For me, I was so unhappy all the time. I'm good at lots of things, but I felt like I was insufficient and invisible because of my weight.

    I am 284 now, and have been struggling with my diet, but I'm not giving up! I keep going to the gym and even if I have a hard workout one day, I don't quit!

  • i want to lose weight my gf wants me to lose weight but i dont know how. i mean i go to the gym i eat healthy but i only lose like 5 pounds a month

  • well played! 

  • geez man you are a great person

  • Good job dude, keep it up.

  • What did you change? Thanks.

  • Thank you! I started on 04/28/2010 at 335 lbs, and I am 288 right now. Not as good as it could have been but I am losing! I hope to be 120 by the end of 2012 for a total weight loss milestone of 215 pounds lost! It is uplifting to see success stories similar to what mine can be one day, and good to know other people have been in my shoes!

  • I'm down 70 lbs in 4 months with another 70 to go. Your video is inspiring and you are sooooo relatable.

  • You are amazing. Thank you so much for this video. Especially for the encouragement to keep going. It gets hard to keep going once you plateau, so thank you for the advice.  Your humility and realism about it is very helpful. You have taken back your life. Thank you for sharing this with us. I wish you the very best.

  • you are an inspiration. thanks for the videos. this is what i need to get going

  • You look great! That's amazing!

  • Mate I'm on my mission to loose weight as well and I believe you when you say don't give up.

    I was 140kg and now I'm 130kg if someone really wants to weight it's the will to do it that gets you through and you have it my friend.

    Thank you for the inspiration.

  • Thank you.

  • This is extremely inspiring! I have to lose quite a bit myself, and this is definitely helping me get started. Congrats man!

  • Thanks for telling us about the 6 month plato

    I've given up when that happens even just for a month

    but your storys given me hope to try again and pass through that stage

    thanks love Sally

  • Amazing, great job! Very inspirational, makes me want to go and work out! You mentioned that you had a 6 month plateau... I think I'm starting to reach one as well. Is there anything you did to start making progress again? Or did you just keep doing your same daily workout and wait for the plateau to pass?

  • RESPECT!!!!!

  • Wow well done - you have really well.

  • God bless you

  • Man I just really wanted to let u know how much I enjoyed your video. Thanks for sharing your story.

  • YOU are amazing and so inspiring! I failed today and feel like crying but you are so right on... "just keep on".... hugs to you!

  • Really awesome, inspiring stuff. I admire your courage and your attitude. Keep at it man and job well done.

  • I had to loose over a hundred ... I lost 50 so far.. I have like 65 more to go..this is inspiring!

  • OK, I actually wanted to take the day off the gym today and I am already in bed but after watching this one I am gonna get up and do an hour of cardio in the gym. PROMISE!

  • Well done.

    The biggest challenge I've found is the seasonal changes, especially during winter. Shorter and colder days really psychologically mess with you and you can lose it.

    I've tried losing weight twice now, 70lbs first time and 100lbs the second. Unlike you I actually failed when 3 months in my weight didn't change. Well done for sticking with it!

  • This really is amazing, I wish to do the same thing one day, I weigh 260 pounds, and I have no will power, I'm not asking for help, but any advice would be great.

  • congratulations bro...

  • wow thats great i want to lose about 175 how did u do it

  • you're so right on ! well put.... it's the easiest thing in the world and the hardest thing in the world all at the same time. All you have to do is "do things right" and don't quit...

  • you look really really good dude. This really is inspiring. I aiming to get more in shape too. Thanks for this motivation

  • I am so glad that i stumbled upon your vid. I am in a rough patch and trying to pull myself up by my bootstraps. I have about 55 more lbs to go for my goal. and i agree with you 100%. Thank you thank you thank you

  • F'ing awesome man!!!! congrats

  • wow your video really inspired me I've been dieting, so hopefully i'll have success as you did.

    Congratulation's.

  • Thank you. well said

  • I admire your will and courage, that has allowed you to achieve such a goal. Your story is very motivational to anyone who wants to reach a challenging goal, not just for people who want to lose weight.

  • you have been great inspiration for me; I was weary about even starting the task of losing over 200 pounds-but knew I had to--coming here and seeing your success story back then was sooo helpful...now i am down 20% which is over 75 pounds and although I have over 150 more to lose, I know on off days I can see other who have done it AND most importantly kept if off!!! So thank you and I do hope you are enjoying yourself all this time since you got healthier :)

  • You are not a "regular guy." You inspire, and in your small corner of the world, you have reached millions who say thank you, thank you for loving yourself so much that it inspires us to do the same. Keep the faith, keep on trekking! We are with you.

  • Thank you thank you thank you!!!!

  • Inspiring and motivating! I really admire you for what you've achieved and that you're giving strength to others to follow. I'm off now to start on my quest to be healthier and lose weight and I'm 100% more positive about it!

  • how many calories do you eat a day to lose weight?

  • depends on the person but there are plenty of calculators online that can help figure it out for you. just use google.

    btw, you can only lose weight if you burn more calories than you consume. this is difficult, but not impossible like it sounds.

  • Depends on how much you move ,

  • im legit proud of you. (: keep up the good work!
