He was a trainer at my gym in E. Mesa. He gained most of it back. I couldn't understand why someone that was 500lbs was a personal trainer. Other employees told me it was because he was on TV and would be good for business. He longer works there now.
@Bochanable have you watched him on "Extreme Makover" weightloss edition??? you can tell this guy has a golden soul! You can catch the first season on HuLu I think
There is nothing I can write here that can describe the feeling of respect I have for these two dudes. The trainer must have knew he was undertaking a near impossible task so you can only imagine how the large dude must have been feeling. Forget the squats and sit ups he had to do, the mental strength it must have taken to get to where he was to where he is is fucking inspiring to everyone
I'm new in the field of personal training and I would hope that I could be as much of an inspiration and help to someone as Chris has been. What a great story! His diet strategy under the circumstances was perfect.
@briperez at 4.32 you can see scars on his arm, so i think he might have had surgery, but you are right, if he lost the weight gradually i dont think he would have
BUYER BEWARE!!! What a shame! This seems like a wonderful program but they must have hooked up with a bad marketing firm. Web site is confusing - comments on the site forum are few, information received with STAXX system differs from that on web site. Worst thing is if you sign up for the program, they send you a STAXX system that costs more than you can get elsewhere cheaper and refuse to let you return it EVEN THO YOU NEVER ORDERED IT. So I now have 3 STAXX systems. I call this fraud.
I think it's so funny how queers in gyms and the fitness world used to be the butt of the Str8 worlds jokes. Now, the entire billion dollar industry is only one step behind the hair stylist industry with queers at the top. These days Str8 men and women beg for a gay trainer. I must have 15 Str8 dudes a week ask me if I can squeeze them into my schedule.
lol, I just grin and laugh when they sign their name at the bottom of my wait list. Which stands at #36 in one gym and #23 at another.
@Showinbulge He's married and expecting a child. I know...in today's world that doesn't mean anything. Still....he's a fantastic, emotionally aware straight guy. The gal that married him literally won the lottery. Good for her!
@Showinbulge Why so snarky? Who give a s@*t if he's gay or not? My life isn't improved if he is or isn't and it's not my personal business to know, either. It shouldn't be anyone's. I just hope he's happy.
Isn't that really mean? To say it publicly that he's a virgin. How rude. Though congratulations to him. I would totally date him. Not for what he looks like now but because he honestly looks like a nice guy. You can hear it in his voice. I hope he finds someone special
With American being one of the fattest nations in the world, this guy is now in no way fat. I have to say though it was a bit creepy that after massive weight loss, his saggy skin could completely cover up his private parts - no pixellation required for nudity.
i love the brotherhood that developed between them. It's just beautiful how he wasn't the type of condescending personal trainer, he was with him every step of the way.
SHIT how can ppl complain about being 10 lbs "over weight" its bullshit...this guy was overweight...n if he can do it why can't everyone else....very inspirational kuddos to that guy for sticking through it.
@IMakeBoyzJizz Man, thats how I feel. I get so pissed when people bitch about having to loose like 10 lbs. I weight 515 lbs, I HAVE weight to loose. WHen people start talking about O my O my I have to loose 20 lbs im so miserable, I just want to slap them in their mouth!!
Can't believe he went out with that hottie masseuse! He gives men hope everywhere that even ugly dudes can get with hot women. Very inspirational! =)
And bravo to him for losing his virginity. Making out with three friends and then having one of them wanting to get laid with you? Damn I wish I had female friends like that. =/
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
good job to that guy for losing the weight...but it looks like his first sexual experience mighhhhhht be with his trainer and now probably lover. haha
I think they both are, I tried to message both of those guys several time cause I weigh like 530lbs and i need some good advice, and they ignore me, and so it seems that they got famous so now they are to good for everyone else :( and I dont play that.
Sorry to hear that.....try doing a search for "The Gabriel Method" i am currently reading his book, you should be able to find information on you tube. Might explain some stuff about how a fat person's body works. Hope that helps :)
Its all about eating to much sugar and high fructose corn syrup, it makes your body want more and more and more, and you can never get enuff. thats why im back on low carb so i can burn this weight off.
What was he trying to do, turn this guy into a douchebag? David is clearly not like Chris, and this approach to dating is disastrous. He needs to just talk to women, and go from there. Get a job! Don't meet women at bars!
Gotta start somewhere, right? There's a fine line between confident and douchebag and you really have to push it, just like with many other aspects of improving yourself. At this point, I'd say all women are good for just practicing skills that most of us who didn't spend 10 years indoors developed without thinking about. Besides, great women come in many different places, bars included; nothing wrong with casting a wide net.
Really, he has gained all his weight back? that sounds impossible to me.
