+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! 🙏❤️
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’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.
I remember my dad showing me this story 7 years ago when I was 6 years old, but I still remember the story, even down to the point where I remember his voice and hair.
I cried when I watched this. I decided to make my life change on June 6th of 2015. It's February 12th of 2016 now. I'm a female, 17 now, 6 foot 1 tall, went from 281 pounds to 160 pounds. I've been told that I've been an inspiration to others. It means the world to me. All it took was some mega willpower. Nobody is going to help me lose weight except for me. I'm so proud of you, Jared. Bless you.
+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.
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...
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
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.
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
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
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
@@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.
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.
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.

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!!!!
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
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.
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
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 💜🙏🏻🤗
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 don’t even want to read what negative comments people have to say. Your statements or Ernest, heart fully shared. That’s not something people typically do for applause. I am proud of you. From what I have gathered losing weight is one thing and keeping it off is another and seemingly a larger challenge but I imagine it enforces more ambition and I pray it does that for you. You deserve that and I thank you for sharing your story.
My correction to trusting Siri, but clearly you have not shared what you have gone through from anywhere other than your heart which by the grace of God continues to beat and has carried you through this struggle, allowing you to share with us. Please don’t ever listen to the haters!
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.
+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
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
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!🤗
DDP Yoga saved my life. I was 406. HBP. Plantar Fasciitis, Diabetes, Gout. I started doing DDP Yoga a year ago. . . I'm right around 200lbs. 200lbs lost. I would give anything to shake the man's hand. Thank you, DDP.
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!
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.
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.
+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
Good for you, this is so inspiring! I especially liked when you said, "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 EXACTLY what happened when I quit smoking last September (after 42 years and many failed attempts). Probably, overeating is also a kind of addiction, to sugar or the undeniable pleasure of eating , or maybe it´s some way to compensate for other deficts in ones' life. I am so glad you were able to conquer it and wish you all the best for a happy and healthy future!
How tall are u? I was around 103kg which is about 227 and I was 174cm or 5'8, but I started at 235lbs and I've been dieting and working out for 3 weeks and I'm happy with my progress.
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!
I cried at the end of this because your story inspired me and the quote finished me off. I'm considering starting DDP as my weight increases and my health decreases and the medications get stronger and the body gets weaker. Thank you for your story. Well done.
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.
Do what this dude did... surgery. Thats why the rest of days between day 1 and day 390 is nowhere. Things change gradually and there is no proof he did it that way. Stop getting fooled by yoga businessmen
@@K9IGHTRIDERINDIA you apparently havent seen the stories of ddp yoga, it includes a diet program and dynamic resistance yoga. This program does work. If you want to see another story of the same program watch this too. ua-cam.com/video/qX9FSZJu448/v-deo.html
Absolutely amazing transformation. A lot of hard work and dogged determination. Total respect here. In that big man was always a champion heart. Way to go. God bless you and I hope you have a happy blessed life.
+thecouchtripper I came here actually wondering because on boogies video the comments are disabled because of how many vile trolls there are on his channel especially. I understand where you are coming from but this is why i and probably many others came here too.

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.
idk and idc
+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...
Just goes to show how hard work and dedication pays off. Well done.
One of the most inspiring story in the world of transformation....
i am not fat and stuff,but this hit me right in the feels.
+LukaD Games Ikr?
+LuXe Gaming same yeah
lol same
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
Chimnitor I'm not fat but everything I eat goes to my legs so my legs are fat but nothing else is???
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.
This was so beautiful! Had me in tears and clapping for you! You rock!!
I’m glad he never lost his beautiful smile!
Awesome weight loss ❤️
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.
Jonathan, I'm not american, but I wanna thank you for your service :) And please stay inspired
thx for your service...
Yes... I agree 💯
Way to go man!
+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, :)
It all began with giving himself enough space to do it his way. Even the smallest step, repeated daily, makes huge progress eventually.
Oh man My hat is off to you brother. You are a star.
For anyone out there feeling overwhelmed; u too can do this. Never give up, he did it, so can u! 💗
That tired old cliché is not true. Not everyone can do it.
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
You touched my heart!
God Bless you.
Such an accomplishment!
Brought tears to my eyes.
So proud of you,
@@tammyburrill7716 that is very sweet of you; I think your talking about the guy in the video; which truly was an accomplishment
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
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. 🙏🏻
OHHHHH MYYY GODDDDD i soooo thank GOD for you sharing your testimony
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.
My mom died at 59, obesity causes many medical complications, your family must be proud of you, I am proud of you!
The Standard American Diet, acronym (SAD) is killing this generation.
And emotional pain and sadness. So sad so few people can see it behind all the weight.
For sure man
@@whotelakecity2001 I think it's a cause and effect phenomenon
Cuz the bad diet with a lot of sugar and glutens kinda cause more sadness in the brain
@@victorgomes5667 Sounds like you have never been overweight and have no personal experience with this issue.
The Standard Taiwanese Diet is (STD) 😳😳😳
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
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.

300 pounds in 16 months!!!! That's beyond amazing 👏 A testament to his hard work and no doubt the support of those around him
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!!!!
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

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
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 💜🙏🏻🤗
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
This man wanted to live! God bless him.
I don’t even want to read what negative comments people have to say. Your statements or Ernest, heart fully shared. That’s not something people typically do for applause. I am proud of you. From what I have gathered losing weight is one thing and keeping it off is another and seemingly a larger challenge but I imagine it enforces more ambition and I pray it does that for you. You deserve that and I thank you for sharing your story.
My correction to trusting Siri, but clearly you have not shared what you have gone through from anywhere other than your heart which by the grace of God continues to beat and has carried you through this struggle, allowing you to share with us. Please don’t ever listen to the haters!
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.

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!
Good for you, this is so inspiring!
I especially liked when you said, "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 EXACTLY what happened when I quit smoking last September (after 42 years and many failed attempts). Probably, overeating is also a kind of addiction, to sugar or the undeniable pleasure of eating , or maybe it´s some way to compensate for other deficts in ones' life. I am so glad you were able to conquer it and wish you all the best for a happy and healthy future!
Absolutely incredible. Amazing job on your transformation. Best of luck in the future!
