+MsBeautifulalicia You go girl, you got this :) You've already lost an incredible amount, you can totally do it! Even if you can only manage to do a little bit at a time, you're still beating everyone who's sitting on their couch doing nothing. But whatever you do, don't give up. You've come too far to give up now, you can do it! *Also, keep an eye on your B12 because it can bottom out before you know it and suck all of your energy dry. Mine got so low I had to have monthly injections to bring it back to anything even remotely close to normal.
hi, you opened your eyes and your heart to see what you can do. You are so valuable like everyone else. Always remember to talk to all friends no matter what. They will always stand by you. Yes, it was a tough way to recognize it. Congratulations from the bottom of your heart, please never give up, thank you for being here and for many more wonderful years here with all your friends. God bless you all in this world. Please always meet with respect, love without prejudice, open your eyes and hold together. We are all born naked and raised in love, respect, peace and harmony by our proud parents; never forget it thank you i send from germany.
True. I used to live. Now I just simply exist but it's not a simple existence. It's difficult, frustrating, depressing, overwhelming and.. it's time for a change.. Because I know better. Life has gotten the best of me but I would rather get the best out of life.
I’m crying happy tears for you! I’m a 46 year old woman about to embark on the journey of losing 120lbs and getting my life back! This video is very inspiring! From the bottom of my heart, I’m happy for you! People don’t realize the discipline and hard work it takes to do what you’ve done! 🙏❤️
I’m 6.3ft tall & I currently weigh 450lbs & my goal is to lose 200 lbs in a year and if you lost 300lbs in a yr, anything is possible, preach on, you’re a priceless inspiration and God bless :)
My two favorite quotes: “I didn’t want to be fat, but I didn’t fight against it because I knew it would require a change in lifestyle” “I wish I knew what finally clicked in my brain because then I could tell others how to change their mindset as well” I am 15 years old, and at my highest weight I was 272 pounds, but on July 26, 2020, I decided to make a change. I downloaded the app called my fitness pal, and I’ve been keeping track of my food. It’s helped me a lot and now I’m in the 250s. I’ve still got a long journey to but it’ll be worth it in the end. Wish me luck. Update: as of September 27, 2020 i have lost 15 pounds. I have much more to go but I’ve hit a small milestone and I’m proud of it😁 thank you all so much for the support! Update 2: as of October 18, I just hit about the 20 lb Mark. Thanks again for all of your support. Update 3: it’s the end of February, and I keep going back and fourth between 236 and 243, for those who have been asking Update 4: it’s the end of June and I’m now at 225! Final Update: It’s been two years. I’m at 190 and my life has completely changed. I feel so much better about myself now, I feel like I’ve gotten everything I’ve wanted, people started looking at me more and admiring me more. I never thought I could do this, especially at this point in my life, and if I can do it, I know you can too. I never thought I could, but I proved myself wrong. For those who are struggling, fight the battle, keep pushing, and you will eventually reach the goal, and it will feel amazing. Every single person that has gone through a weight loss journey felt like they couldn’t do it and never succeeded, but they proved everyone and themselves wrong, I know you can do that too.
Lil tenorboy Ay dude you got this, I’m in the journey too! It hurts trying to change but bro you got this! You’re young and your body loves you! Come back to us when you’ve made some great changes!!!!!
Jason Dinh thanks, I really appreciate the support. I’ve lost about nine pounds since I’ve started this. It’s a slow way to do it but it’s better than nothing. I can’t wait to give an update when I reach the goal!
You gotta be pretty cynical to give this a thumbs down. The commitment involved here is immense. Kudos to this man for the effort it took to get to this point.
The happiness you felt towards the end of the video was so much more better than the happiness a person feels while loading on sugar. That's the true happiness because it always lasts.
I just retired from 30 years in the Marine Corps. Not afraid to tell you I’m blinking quite rapidly now (that’s all I’m willing to admit). What a great story. I’d rather see guys like this (so rare) celebrated by all of us rather than the shallow entertainment industry. This guy is an INSPIRATION. God Bless and stay fit.
I have known ppl who have done it. I myself, lost all my weight, which was around 50lbs. U just need to decide to do it, that u are going to change ur routine. It's like anything hard to do; stopping drugs, smoking, drinking. Ppl do it all the time. Sure, there are medical cases, but I didnt say everyone can do it; I said for anyone feeling overwhelmed. U implying that they cant, does not help them
@@Bleuxman you seriously fucking can do it, anyone can. Get out of here with that loser pessimistic attitude, YOU are the only one holding yourself back from achieving your goals, Even if it take you months, years, or decades
Same I cried because my grandma weighed about 530 pounds when I was 5 and I honestly didn't understand I grew up and began to understood luckily now I'm 10 and she only weighs 245 pounds

+Vasikins Holy shit. I checked your first video and your current video. You don't even look like the same person. I personally understand how much willpower it takes to keep the change and resist the temptation. At one point we both weighed roughly the same. I've still got around 3 more stone (42 lbs) to get around my desired weight. Shouldn't be too long now. Congratulations to you, and anyone else in this comment section.
SayWhat2363 Thanks a bunch! it means a lot. It's the mindset that keeps me going. I want no artificial ingredients going in my body. I love myself and my life. I want to be able to live a long and healthy life. Good luck to you, mate.
I! 52 for the past two years I have reduced amount of food today I reached a huge mile stone and am 43lbs left to go I've lost 130 lbs so far . Congrats to all who have worked hard
@@MattCrawley_Music good for u... u should too go for the surgery... an escape from hardwork... if thats what u are promoting. Its like i want million dollors but by robbing a bank.
@@K9IGHTRIDERINDIA What a miserable fool. You don't know this man's life. Who are you to speculate and judge him?? Miserable people like you can't possibly comprehend that someone found the strength to make a change. You will never take this man's accomplishments away from him no matter how much you run your trap.
i started working out almost a month ago. this whole week i lost all motivation because i was seeing zero progress, but after seeing this video and seeing you lose almost 400 pounds in a year motivated me to keep going. i’m going back to the gym tomorrow and i’m going to eat healthy again
Evil Westbrook ***** Depression is not something that can be "cut out", it is 2015 and people like you two still exist? Do a 5 second google search to disprove your opinions on depression please,y'all are practically choosing to ignorant at this point.
you can! I have lived my life on the opposite side with hypermetabolism. Incredibly thin and very unhappy with my appearance and seriously lacked confidence. Always unhappy that no matter what shirt size I bought, it would just hang off me and I had to buy the thinnest waste and belts i could find. Sometimes in my thirties, I was still having to look for pants in the youth sections, luckily I'm short too. who could find such a tiny waist and be adult height? Never eating much gave me low energy, that I overcame with too much coffee. but then never had the energy to work out. work and school began to suffer and I all i did was stay in bed or on the couch. People would tease me that I looked terminally ill. Not to make light of what it might feel like socially to be heavy but I believe one thing unique to being too thin is that society doesn't have a problem teasing you about it, especially if you're male. People think being called "scrawny" isn't the same as being called fat. Both are a gut punch. One day about a year ago, I started watching the DPD videos and felt myself reaching the point spiritually that many of you seem to start in. I came to the simple realization through these stories that there is a choice, that my happiness is out there if i just decide to take it. So I started with forcing myself to eat more than just one or two slices of pieces of pizza a day. Diets were planned and well balanced. At first it was pretty hard to make myself eat beyond just small amounts, i just wasn't used to spending time with food. But the more i made myself eat, I started to notice my mood improving and my energy. then came a simple pull up push up routine. at first just a few seconds hanging and one to two push ups on my knees. After awhile the push ups got to 10+ off my knees and the hang turned into an half pull up, then one day all of a sudden, I was doing one. That was the biggest day of this journey I think, watching that bar from from over my head, past my eye level to under my chin. I started at 112 pounds (I'm 5 8). Today my routine is 12-15 L sit pull ups each morning and just before bed. I still can't commit to a gym, one I had to realize that I'm not everyone else and whatever workout I do is what I do and that's OK, putting pressure on yourself to do exactly X workout every day and no less is just not something I think works for everyone. Because it makes you feel like a failure when you do anything less. I also still haven't gotten over the fear of working out around other people. I probably could do it now but the intimidation factor may never go away at this point. But I'm around 155 and I look at myself in the mirror in awe of the handsome fella staring back at me. At 35, I not only feel more energized and confident than ever, I sometimes have a hard time believing this look is possible for me. You. Can.Do.This.To!
Yes it is always POSSIBLE ....and if you fail, try again and again and AGAIN. DONT give up trying . Its never too late to have your life changed. I know because i did ......read my entry higher up if you wish. 320 pounds lost at age 63 +........NEVER TOO LATE NEVER GIVE UP HOPE it feels sooooooo wonderful to be light and free. Follow a 12 step concept .....we need spiritual strength .....you most likely have an eating disorder and its too much to overcome on your own ......" ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE THROUGH CHRIST WHO STRENGTHENETH ME" !!! YOU can do it too with the Lord working and walking with you . i hope you see this ---! If you want to do a REALLY helpful thing for yourself .......go online or to your bookstore ......order / buy a small handbook ( paperback Very cheap) called TWELVE STEPS FOR OVER EATERS .....by > Elisabeth L. This little book did a world of good for me because it addresses the EMOTIONAL side of over eating. Its a GREAT BOOK if you are ready for it and ready for your life to be transformed ! GOD BLESS YOU
Way to go!!! I currently lost 75 lbs and went through a fitness journey myself. COVID lockdown really has me in a funk. Gyms all closed and over 100 degrees outside. Looking forward to getting back in the grind! THANK YOU FOR THE INSPIRATION!!!!
Jared, I am so very proud of you! You give so much hope and encouragement to others! You did not give up no matter how difficult it felt. You kept your eyes on what you knew was possible and you did it! So much love and blessings being sent your way! Thank you for being an incredible inspiration 💜🙏🏻🤗
0:51 "Today is different... I do care about how I feel and how I want to live. I wish I knew what finally clicked in my brain because then I could tell others how to change their mindset as well." That's beautiful.
Takes some real guts to expose yourself like that online. I'm currently in the process of documenting my weightloss/getting sober journey but did some test recordings, I absolutely hate looking at myself. Respect to you man.

Primarily so YT doesn't put such things into their "recommendations" again, that's all. No big mystery, and likely the ones who clicked 'thumbs down' don't see anything to dislike, but just don't want to see such vids anymore.
I'm 18, 5'6, I weighed 250 lbs a few months ago, I'm now at 200 lbs and I'm still losing weight, I've been fat for 8 years now, it's time to stop this bullshit. I need to get down to 140, I'm almost halfway there! I have to say, fasting is what has helped me the most, my stomach can barely hold a fourth of what it used to, I'm always full.
Boogie2988 sent me here. He's a fantastic guy and I personally want to say thank you to Dallas for helping him so much. Hope is the hardest thing to give people. Also great job Jared, inspiring story.
i got here too from boogie and i just want to say thank u for being an ispiration for boogie and me too and probably loads of other people for me you are a true hero thank you.
+ItZxPaYDaYx Because of vile trolls. He get so much hate on his inspirational videos, I'm guessing he just wants something purely positive... TBH I hope he keeps them off, and disables them for more videos. I know many of us are good kind people full of encouragement, but, the vile people will always damage someone more, even if they are in the minority...
Thanks for sharing! I really admire you! You have probably not only helped many people, but also improved and prolonged their lives, if not saved them! Greetings from Croatia! Bravo!!!!
This is the best vlog and weight loss journey diary I have ever heard. So many things you say are how so many have felt but didn't know how to convey or just didn't take the time to do so. God bless you in your journey onward and for sharing your heartfelt story.
I've watched this video on 1 January 2019. It changed my life. Something clicked in my brain and it's very hard to say exactly what. Jared inspired me to start this journey. So, I have started and today, after 8 months, I've went from 133,7 kg (295 pounds) to 108,5 kg (239 pounds). I've lost 25 kg (55 pounds) in just 8 months. I am so much happier now. My self esteem is off the roof and I think I can accomplish anything in this world. Thank you so much, Jared. Salute to you, sir!
Hope you’re still going Ruben, and if not you have the courage to begin again! I’ll join the mission in a few days, don’t have enough to throw food away and can begin moving and shopping better!! Tips welcome! Best of luck!!
I've watched this a few times over the years and each time I watch it, I cry with him at his triumph! UA-cam really needs a "love" button, because I would give this 1,000,000 thumbs up if I could! Bravo!
No words.... just a tear or two of joy for people like you who have accomplished so much as to inspire others... that... is just as much a success as the weight loss.
This is the most inspirational thing I've ever seen I'm overweight myself and this video made me get up and do something and now I'm getting much better I want to personally thank u very much. Because u are the reason I can get up, move around and see the world for what it is Thank you
+Th3UprightMan boogie may be fat but he is one of the best youtubers in the world with a great community and the community loves him he is going to change his life and will lose 100 pounds for the surgery
I am so happy for you. Thank you for sharing. I definitely cried towards the end and always cherish moments where people are candid and vulnerable. I've been going through this as well lately, realizing that I want to feel good and eat well and exercise. I get what you said about it just clicking all of a sudden. For me it happened bc the person I loved most cheated on me, and left me. And I just knew I needed a reason to feel good about myself, and now I know it's entirely possible. :) glad to see other people share their stories. Good job! It's really awesome
+Diamond Dallas Page i ordered the max set of dvd's and a yoga matt its been like 3 days since i ordered it and there's no update on shipping or anything :s i'm anxious to get the dvd's so i can change my life. i want to be the next person to have a video like this one

WOW! This is a REALLY BEAUTIFUL testamony! I'm actually tearing up!😢 It's such a powerful thing for a person to redefine themselves through discipline. Congratulations sir!🤗
I cried so hard as I am listening to your beautiful voice narrating you ordeal. You amazed me and your gorgeous personality touched my heart deeply. Thank you for sharing your journey to me. 💜
I use to weigh around 310 pounds as 21 years old and I've now lost a 100 pounds and still pushing. I know it hurts and I know its hard, but that's how it's supposed to feel. The rewards will be amazing, not from other people but from yourself. I really hope everyone who is overweight will be able to pursue their dream and fulfill their vision. You can do it!
I lost 15 pds and reached the weight i used to be 9 yrs ago. It's a great feeling. I've never felt better abt myself. I'm so proud of your accomplishment.
If you're reading this... Never give up! You're amazing! You're stronger than me! You can do ANYTHING :) Just a little reminder that nothing is impossible like this guy's goal.
I cry through this!!!!! I used to be 560 pounds. Currently at 395 and tired. So tired. Just wanna say way to go. So inspired
Keep that head up and keep charging foward. you are doing great things too by the way it sounds.

+Barnacules Nerdgasm C'mon Jerry you can do it!
+Barnacules Nerdgasm Woooow its Barnacules!!! late to the party so to say but yeah :)
+Barnacules Nerdgasm weight-oo go
+Barnacules Nerdgasm was wondering if you've watched this
+Barnacules Nerdgasm Barnacules, I love your videos and I'd like for you to be healthy. Please also excercise, :)
Oh man My hat is off to you brother. You are a star.
It all began with giving himself enough space to do it his way. Even the smallest step, repeated daily, makes huge progress eventually.
I! 52 for the past two years I have reduced amount of food today I reached a huge mile stone and am 43lbs left to go I've lost 130 lbs so far .
Congrats to all who have worked hard
Keep at it, I hope you've got closer to your target since then? Best of luck!
Well done
Update?!?!?!
@@Steve-jg5dp I am now 32 pounds from my 200 lb loss
For you Granny 🌹Merry Christmas
Dude... you made me cry 😭. You deserve the blessings of life's second chance award.
Oh really... you just got fooled by the video..
You should ask where are days between day 1 and day 390.
No glimpse of gradual transformation
K9IGHT RIDER INDIA so what? It’s clearly the same man at the start and the end of the video.
@@MattCrawley_Music good for u... u should too go for the surgery... an escape from hardwork... if thats what u are promoting.
Its like i want million dollors but by robbing a bank.
@@MattCrawley_Music seems when god was giving common sense... u were not in ur senses only
@@K9IGHTRIDERINDIA What a miserable fool. You don't know this man's life. Who are you to speculate and judge him?? Miserable people like you can't possibly comprehend that someone found the strength to make a change. You will never take this man's accomplishments away from him no matter how much you run your trap.
OHHHHH MYYY GODDDDD i soooo thank GOD for you sharing your testimony
i started working out almost a month ago. this whole week i lost all motivation because i was seeing zero progress, but after seeing this video and seeing you lose almost 400 pounds in a year motivated me to keep going. i’m going back to the gym tomorrow and i’m going to eat healthy again
Very good. We all fail and will fail. But the most important is that we'll always get up again and never ever give up on this long journey. 🙏🏻
i hope for nothing but the best for boogie.
+MrCombatgiraffe
Same, he's such an awesome guy :)
Yes definitely, I know boogie can do this

Depression is not something that can be "cut out", it is 2015 and people like you two still exist? Do a 5 second google search to disprove your opinions on depression please,y'all are practically choosing to ignorant at this point.
I'm currently 335 lbs and gave up but seeing this gives me some hope I can still change how I live.
You machine! how much do you bench?
you can! I have lived my life on the opposite side with hypermetabolism. Incredibly thin and very unhappy with my appearance and seriously lacked confidence. Always unhappy that no matter what shirt size I bought, it would just hang off me and I had to buy the thinnest waste and belts i could find. Sometimes in my thirties, I was still having to look for pants in the youth sections, luckily I'm short too. who could find such a tiny waist and be adult height? Never eating much gave me low energy, that I overcame with too much coffee. but then never had the energy to work out. work and school began to suffer and I all i did was stay in bed or on the couch. People would tease me that I looked terminally ill. Not to make light of what it might feel like socially to be heavy but I believe one thing unique to being too thin is that society doesn't have a problem teasing you about it, especially if you're male. People think being called "scrawny" isn't the same as being called fat. Both are a gut punch. One day about a year ago, I started watching the DPD videos and felt myself reaching the point spiritually that many of you seem to start in. I came to the simple realization through these stories that there is a choice, that my happiness is out there if i just decide to take it. So I started with forcing myself to eat more than just one or two slices of pieces of pizza a day. Diets were planned and well balanced. At first it was pretty hard to make myself eat beyond just small amounts, i just wasn't used to spending time with food. But the more i made myself eat, I started to notice my mood improving and my energy. then came a simple pull up push up routine. at first just a few seconds hanging and one to two push ups on my knees. After awhile the push ups got to 10+ off my knees and the hang turned into an half pull up, then one day all of a sudden, I was doing one. That was the biggest day of this journey I think, watching that bar from from over my head, past my eye level to under my chin. I started at 112 pounds (I'm 5 8). Today my routine is 12-15 L sit pull ups each morning and just before bed. I still can't commit to a gym, one I had to realize that I'm not everyone else and whatever workout I do is what I do and that's OK, putting pressure on yourself to do exactly X workout every day and no less is just not something I think works for everyone. Because it makes you feel like a failure when you do anything less. I also still haven't gotten over the fear of working out around other people. I probably could do it now but the intimidation factor may never go away at this point. But I'm around 155 and I look at myself in the mirror in awe of the handsome fella staring back at me. At 35, I not only feel more energized and confident than ever, I sometimes have a hard time believing this look is possible for me. You. Can.Do.This.To!
Yes, you can 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰 Let others inspire you 😁
Hey, just copy this guy
It just might work.
Yes it is always POSSIBLE ....and if you fail, try again and again and AGAIN. DONT give up trying . Its never too late to have your life changed. I know because i did ......read my entry higher up if you wish. 320 pounds lost at age 63 +........NEVER TOO LATE NEVER GIVE UP HOPE it feels sooooooo wonderful to be light and free. Follow a 12 step concept .....we need spiritual strength .....you most likely have an eating disorder and its too much to overcome on your own ......" ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE THROUGH CHRIST WHO STRENGTHENETH ME" !!!
YOU can do it too with the Lord working and walking with you . i hope you see this ---! If you want to do a REALLY helpful thing for yourself .......go online or to your bookstore ......order / buy a small handbook ( paperback Very cheap) called
TWELVE STEPS FOR OVER EATERS .....by > Elisabeth L.
This little book did a world of good for me because it addresses the EMOTIONAL side of over eating. Its a GREAT BOOK if you are ready for it and ready for your life to be transformed ! GOD BLESS YOU

Way to go!!! I currently lost 75 lbs and went through a fitness journey myself. COVID lockdown really has me in a funk. Gyms all closed and over 100 degrees outside. Looking forward to getting back in the grind! THANK YOU FOR THE INSPIRATION!!!!
Jared, I am so very proud of you! You give so much hope and encouragement to others! You did not give up no matter how difficult it felt. You kept your eyes on what you knew was possible and you did it! So much love and blessings being sent your way! Thank you for being an incredible inspiration 💜🙏🏻🤗
0:51 "Today is different... I do care about how I feel and how I want to live. I wish I knew what finally clicked in my brain because then I could tell others how to change their mindset as well." That's beautiful.

Takes some real guts to expose yourself like that online. I'm currently in the process of documenting my weightloss/getting sober journey but did some test recordings, I absolutely hate looking at myself. Respect to you man.
Takes one step. Just do it buddy.
I would imagine its easier to show the world your recordings after you reach your goal
@@rawx485 yeah, that's why I'm thinking to document it from the beginning so people can see how hard it is.
@@Amarillobymorning777 Yeah, I think I'm just going to do it starting with an intro tonight and starting the workouts tomorrow. Screw it :)
hi, you opened your eyes and your heart to see what you can do. You are so valuable like everyone else. Always remember to talk to all friends no matter what. They will always stand by you. Yes, it was a tough way to recognize it. Congratulations from the bottom of your heart, please never give up, thank you for being here and for many more wonderful years here with all your friends. God bless you all in this world. Please always meet with respect, love without prejudice, open your eyes and hold together. We are all born naked and raised in love, respect, peace and harmony by our proud parents; never forget it thank you i send from germany.
How could there be dislikes? This is an excellent achievement for what he wanted to accomplish
They must see something in him that they can relate to but either hate themselves or are too ashamed so “dislike” (more about them than him I’m sure).
I'm guessing it's the anti-body shaming crowd.
Primarily so YT doesn't put such things into their "recommendations" again, that's all. No big mystery, and likely the ones who clicked 'thumbs down' don't see anything to dislike, but just don't want to see such vids anymore.
@@michellewickstrom576 lol you need therapy
I cried too , well done and welcome to your new life . Great perseverance.
I'm 18, 5'6, I weighed 250 lbs a few months ago, I'm now at 200 lbs and I'm still losing weight, I've been fat for 8 years now, it's time to stop this bullshit. I need to get down to 140, I'm almost halfway there! I have to say, fasting is what has helped me the most, my stomach can barely hold a fourth of what it used to, I'm always full.
Enigma I believe in you brother♥️
update?
We believe in you friend
thats great
Losing weight is easy at Dr. Eric Berg’s channel. Search these terms. Keto. Insulin Resistant. Intermittent Fasting.

+AnimosityGamers yeh me2
i got here too from boogie and i just want to say thank u for being an ispiration for boogie and me too and probably loads of other people for me you are a true hero thank you.
I hope boogie gets a similar result! He's a great person and deserves to be happy with his body.

+ItZxPaYDaYx Because of vile trolls. He get so much hate on his inspirational videos, I'm guessing he just wants something purely positive... TBH I hope he keeps them off, and disables them for more videos. I know many of us are good kind people full of encouragement, but, the vile people will always damage someone more, even if they are in the minority...
This is probably one of the most beautiful videos of the Tube!!!
Greetings from Italy!!!
Bravo 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thanks for sharing! I really admire you! You have probably not only helped many people, but also improved and prolonged their lives, if not saved them! Greetings from Croatia! Bravo!!!!

This is the best vlog and weight loss journey diary I have ever heard. So many things you say are how so many have felt but didn't know how to convey or just didn't take the time to do so. God bless you in your journey onward and for sharing your heartfelt story.
What an amazing inspirational guy! Im glad he shared his story because he's inspired me. True hero!
I've watched this video on 1 January 2019. It changed my life. Something clicked in my brain and it's very hard to say exactly what. Jared inspired me to start this journey. So, I have started and today, after 8 months, I've went from 133,7 kg (295 pounds) to 108,5 kg (239 pounds). I've lost 25 kg (55 pounds) in just 8 months. I am so much happier now. My self esteem is off the roof and I think I can accomplish anything in this world. Thank you so much, Jared. Salute to you, sir!
You got this, dude.
And remember, the sky can't be the limit - there are footprints on the Moon.
Namaste.
Hope you’re still going Ruben, and if not you have the courage to begin again! I’ll join the mission in a few days, don’t have enough to throw food away and can begin moving and shopping better!!
Tips welcome!
Best of luck!!
Wow, good for you. Be healthy.
Congrats!
Keep it up Ruben. It's been 7 months since ur comment. Continue on..Ur worth it
I've watched this a few times over the years and each time I watch it, I cry with him at his triumph! UA-cam really needs a "love" button, because I would give this 1,000,000 thumbs up if I could! Bravo!
Marlene I cry to 🥺
You are an inspiration to all of us. That is tremendous courage... my hat goes out to you Brother.
No words.... just a tear or two of joy for people like you who have accomplished so much as to inspire others... that... is just as much a success as the weight loss.
This is the most inspirational thing I've ever seen
I'm overweight myself and this video made me get up and do something and now I'm getting much better
I want to personally thank u very much. Because u are the reason I can get up, move around and see the world for what it is
Thank you

I am so happy for you. Thank you for sharing. I definitely cried towards the end and always cherish moments where people are candid and vulnerable. I've been going through this as well lately, realizing that I want to feel good and eat well and exercise. I get what you said about it just clicking all of a sudden. For me it happened bc the person I loved most cheated on me, and left me. And I just knew I needed a reason to feel good about myself, and now I know it's entirely possible. :) glad to see other people share their stories. Good job! It's really awesome
Thank you for sharing this. I know it was hard for you to achieve this level of health and it's so inspirational that you did it!

This might be the most inspirational video on the internet! God bless you
God bless this man. Straight up. 🤟
I use to weigh around 310 pounds as 21 years old and I've now lost a 100 pounds and still pushing.
I know it hurts and I know its hard, but that's how it's supposed to feel. The rewards will be amazing, not from other people but from yourself. I really hope everyone who is overweight will be able to pursue their dream and fulfill their vision. You can do it!
Joe I'm 320 at 18, I think I'm gonna start today
How did it go
