My Weight Loss Journey. - Losing 350 pounds

[FamilyGuyBlast]

Thanks for video, I got inspired by videos like this, check out what experts on fox says about this over weight problem /watch?v=9QpzdK7wdYY Let's fight our problems together, thumbs up that other peoples could see this comment! :Let's don't waste our time, we need to fight back our weight!

[jagodagod]

WHOA! That is amazing. I am inspired *not only* because you lost an incredible amount o weight, but also because you made a choice about how you wanted to live and you actually did it. I think we focus so much on what we look like that our weight loss goals are really about aesthetics and looking better--but the best thing we can do is to make a choice to live better, eat better, and feel better. This is an amazing video that shows that it is possible to do it if you want it.

[odatas]

This is awsome man....if you can doo 350 i can do 100 aswel

[kolkenad]

You should be a member of Fitocracy!

[TheChosenOneDR]

Greg Plitt would be very proud of you.

[extrules]

Amazing. You are an incredible human being!

[ReikaReiku]

Wow. I really have no reason to not exercise anymore. YOU are my motivation.

[Platnex]

When I saw that picture at (what I assume) was the bowling alley, my jaw droped. I am currently at 275, down from 290 and I was starting to lose motivation, this has got me back up for todays insanity. thank you so much and well done on the weight loss!

[StayColdPonyKeg]

Holy wow. You, sir, are awesome. :)

[megahypersuperhero]

@mikeyboydoodle Did you post on /fit/ ? I remember your story about the tv reflection. I just love you dude.

[CMETRIQUE]

Good job man. I did almost the same thing but when from 330 to 170. I did not have so much excess skin as you did.

[PrincessAnarchy]

You look gorgeous ^^ really great job relying on your own will to do this, it takes a hell of a lot and a strong person to do so.

[MSHHitman]

This was something great to see. As others have said, I'm one that needs to drop weight and have dropped about 15 pounds, but could use another 50 pounds dropped and this is inspirational to see. I'm actually gonna go out for some exercise right now lol

[claudius2maximus]

and with this video, i find myself saying that I am truly inspired. Tomorrow begins a new day and a new beginning for me. I will do this, i will make a change to myself. thank you so much.

[pooptickler1337]

I don't think fat people should be treated as a discriminated group. They are just people like us that choose to live a horrible life. I used to be skinny once, and I am now fat. This video has inspired me to lose weight. This is 2012, Mayan year of renewal, and thus you should make it so.

[jone0425]

Wow! This is truly amazing. Congrats!

[26max]

Whats the name of the song?

[kevinsaturday]

Dude, you have inspired me more than you could know, I'm 22, I weigh 350lbs and I need to change, the diet starts tomorrow morning :)

[montaaron13]

What sort of exercises did you do

[LegoHerobrine]

Its amazing how this man went from being you know and just a few short years later he has abs. He is such an inspiration And i just love this video because it shows just because your over weight doesn't mean its the end of the road.

[cking1298]

I have just been inspired to keep going. so far i am down 4 dress sizes in the last two months simply by putting down the soda, chocolate, cookies pies cakes, chips and processed food. I started juicing, eating fish chicken and turkey and fruits and vegetables boiled or steamed. Water is now my favorite drink and I plan to continue this lifestlye change until I am at a healthy weight. thanks for sharing.

[raversmiracle2]

THANK YOU! im actually crying right now sir. and i do mean sir because what you have done blew my mind. I'm 27 years old and currently around 320lbs. i am favoriting this video and downloading it to my phone. I want to do what you did. I AM going to do what you did. again. thank you.

[mikeyboydoodle]

@raversmiracle2 You are more than welcome bud. I wish you luck and I know you will do it. Your kind words have put a permanent smile on my face for the rest of my night, thank you.

[xDavidRxxx]

Thank you!

@TheProdigyXtreme The stretch marks never "go away" but with time they fade to nearly invisible. Good luck buddy!

[LolaVideoZ]

[Celesteof8]

[Blueros3z]

Wow! amazin' brought a tear to my eye :')

[mikeyboydoodle]

@Blueros3z Glad to see people are still viewing the video :). I'm curious how you found it (not a very easy video to find after all). And thank you, a good tear I hope :).

[Blueros3z]

@mikeyboydoodle I found your video cause I was looking for inspiration and I decided to look at your video and it is just well amazing what you had done for yourself, and the tear was a good one cause if you can do that for yourself losing all that weight then I can lose the weight I don't need :]

[alexe1003]

@mikeyboydoodle I was watching a video of a guy eating 100 McNuggets and there was a link to this video. Incredibly ironic way to find it haha. Aside from that, truly amazing video man, absolutely inspiring.

[millytommy]

Fabulous! I'm glad your happy, healthy, alive -and getting some! Just remember to WRAP it Up! I'm so happy for you!!! You may have just saved my own life! :D

[yomommaisnice]

I'm gonna think of this guy every time I work out.

[Sethorion99]

That's amazing man.

I've lost 4 stone so far (max was 18 stone and I'm at 14 so far) and I've started to get sloppy and lose my way but this has given me the motivation to keep going.

Would be really cool if you posted an in depth video on your diet and stuff.

[killersc2]

Your facebook link doesn't work.

[shouldnotseeme]

I'm on the same path, I admire your iron will man.

[Cd7up]

I jelly, you did just over 3x what I did.

Reminds me I gotta work out tons more.

[ThisNickWasntTaken]

Great job, very impressing and It's great that you made this video and put up on the tube to inspire others. This is exacly what I need to see to keep myself motivated.

[mrsfuzionzero]

You're very inspiring, no matter how big someone is... they can still lose weight.

[polerawkaveros]

I signed in to say this:

Shave your face, neckbeard faggot.

And also this:

Great fucking job, man. Truly an inspiration to /fit/ and to everyone in the world. I do have a question, though:

Did you ever think about giving up? Like, "oh man this is too hard I can't do this anymore" and if so, what do?

[Jijaco]

I just had to sign in to say, man your so alpha right now, I don't even know, this motivates and gives people hope. Great job man.

[CenasCorner]

Why to go my brother!! You are TRULY an inspiration and I will do my part to make sure your story gets out and gives hope to all! I am proud to know you and be your clan brother!

[pmswedge]

Such an inspiration. I also want to go hiking now!

[PMSAnex]

Absolutely awesome, including this in the article. You're an inspiration and I'm happy that you're happy.

[socko25]

Such a truly inspiring story. So inspiring in fact, that I've started taking better care of myself. (By started, I mean back in June when I first heard about your amazing journey)

[SilentJo]

Great job Michael, thank you for sharing a very personal side of your life. I'm sorry that not all of us can appreciate what you had to go through. I know how hard it is to stay dedicated to losing weight, so you definitely have my respect dude.

[Lightscribe4u]

[depoxin]

dedication at its finest

[AzraelRay]

/fit/ Inspiration, man...good job!!

[hacksign20]

very touching story.

but wasn't that moved since you are rich enough to buy a gun/surgery. since rich kids gets all the free time in the world. if i am rich enough to free up the schedule i coulda loose your weight in half year. no lies.

[mikeyboydoodle]

@hacksign20 I'm far from rich. The surgery was covered by medical insurance (thank goodness) and those are not my guns.

[magnawaves]

That is just incredible. How much did the surgery cost for the skin removal?

[ebernard40]

Nice! The view of the hills made me want to go to my old town, and hike the devil's Punchbowl again. I'm gonna do that now, thanks to you!

[McPennyBags]

You went from a giant blob to a GI JOE that was put in a microwave. Congrats?

[East058]

nice work. thanks for sharing.

[Auxelli0n]

[Bloodyhellimbored]

[Magnus10117]

Well, shit now I can't make fun of you for being a fat ass.

So good job, seriously, thats some hardcore stuff.

You should post a posing video so we can see how the lifting has gone.

[PUTYOUR4SUP]

[AliGoya]

Great vid, Michael. You're a huge inspiration to me and that is one amazing journey you've been on.
