- This was not you're typical joyful reunion of soldier and wife. It wasn't even close to being a surprise in front of thousands at a sporting event. The real surprise was Sgt. Larry Shaffer returned home to a brand new wife.
Sgt. Shaffer's wife, Misty, lost over 100 pounds while her husband was deployed in Afghanistan over the course of a year. The best part was she kept the weight loss a secret from her husband.
The story then went viral, making not only national news, but international news as well.
The first part of the video is the live return of Sgt. Shaffer and seeing his wife and child for the first time.
The second half of the video is a follow up package catching up with the family a week after settling into their new home and hearing what it is like to be the center of the media world.
The reporter is obnoxious. This is a really special moment in their lives... give them their space.
Honestly, I don't think he cares...he may just LOVE her unconditionally...what a concept :)
How rude is the reporter.
.
The reporter is obnoxious.
+Steven Lawrence "and look now he can pick her up without any trouble like before" what a bitch lol
Yea she's really rude for saying "being able to pick her up for once without a problem " like bitch stfu skinny ass!!! **No offense to skinny people **
I like how she just acts like that's a fact , she just didn't know what to say . I can't lie though I did laugh when she said it haha
This was cute but he didn't look like he appreciated the cameras in his face during a family moment. Which I do not blame him. Thank you for serving our country Sgt. Larry Shaffer.
I agree. Just getting home after being away for a year they didn’t need cameras in their faces. The question that the wife was not the size she is now when they got married was rude. He loved her anyway. They ask stupid questions and unnecessary questions. Stop just stop.
HE DIDN,T SEEM TO NOTICE OR TELL HER HOW PRETTY SHE WAS AND SHE WAS BEAUTIFUL.
+patty klein It looked to me like he was just genuinely happy to see her and the weight was unimportant to him. He married her heavy so he loves her regardless. Just cause she's thinner now doesn't mean she wasn't gorgeous before. If I was coming back from a year at war I wouldn't care if my wife had gained or lost 100 lbs, I would just be happy to hold her. And if I were the sort of person to care about weight like that, I still wouldn't want to give that obnoxious reporter the satisfaction of saying it in front of her. She totally ruined a family moment.
+psychofwill not to mention, he has probably skyped with her or at least seen social media family pictures. AND he has a camera and jack ass of a reporter in his face during a very personal time right AFTER a flight from across the world.
@@psychofwill oh bullshit! If my wife gained 300 pounds or is now a skinny model... I would definitely notice and show I care.
The reporter is really disrespectful. 😒
SMH I couldn't believe she said that just rude
ikr she was really rude

Yes, this should have been just family time for them, and not her job to interrupt them.
She didn't say he never could pick her up, just that now there wouldn't be any problems
well done her...probably saved your life losing weight and prevented getting diabetes...you will be an inspiration to others...
The reporter said You can actually pick her up this time without any problems !Lmaooool how rude
I know I was like "Bitch you rude" lol
I busted out laughing
omg I was thinking the something
I was thinking catty beotch
E Cool hahahah hahhahhahahaaaa ahhhhh hahahahahahahbaahhhh haaaaahaaaa haaaahaaaahaaaabahhhhhhh ahhhhhhaaaaaahahaha. Not wow thank you for your service and welcome home but your wife ain't fat no more!!!! How do you feel about your fat wife being skinny...??? Hahahhahahaha holy shit
the moment was totally ruined and his wife did accomplish an amazing achievement but she was beautiful just as beautiful as she is now
That is possibly the worst reporter I have ever heard.
Call me when you want me to ruin your homecoming, Ms. Knowitall reporter
The amount of times the reporter said "100 pounds" or "for one year" is off the charts
lmfao so true I was counting but loss count.
Was it just me or I didn't feel he was actually surprised seeing her different? ??
i agree. thought the same thing, he hardly looked at her or even raised an eyebrow.
@@xKellogsx that's because he either liked her thicc or he was cheating on her while he was away.
Awesome story, welcome home sir and thanks for your service.
Can the reporter shut it for at least a few seconds.
Awh poor baby girl just gets left in the back. probly why she was crying! plus all the commotion and seeing her dad again.
POV: you know Larry and his family and you are the best friends of his Daughter and this made you cry
omg that lady shut up and let them have their moment. lmbo
This reporter should have been laid off. "WHOPPING 315 lbs. now he can pick her up." Biggest surprise, well, not the biggest anymore. Totally rude.
Lost of words. The child is distraught, he's returned from WAR and they're asking him if he fancies his wife more now she's thin. 🙄
Ггйцйцйбфф'ф'ффжфгб🥀💐✌️🤟✌️💐💐🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🏏🌹🥀🏏🥀🥀🌹
I hate how the reporter says "he can actually pick her up this time with no problem" like really?😠
💕They're adorable together! Really cute couple.💖😊
This is so awful lol.
They're trying to capture a moment but they're destroying one instead
He's so HANDSOME!!! omg
Oh my god I swear I just wanted to slap that reporter. She was so annoying in general and then, seriously, how the hell would you know that he had trouble picking her up before. That is so embarrassing to the wife to say something like that on live tv. And then to try super hard to interfere in their moment like that and the camera man got so close to the little girl I'm pretty sure she was crying because of the frickin camera. Not her dad. Just let them have their moment from afar.
I thought the reporter was very considerate of the little girl. She must have kids of her own. It is refreshing to a news affiliate show genuine care for someone else.
Dude, when he comes back, he wants to see his family. Let them have a moment before trying to shove a camera down their throat. xx
yeah that reporter ruins the whole damn moment 😒😒
The reporter is ruining the moment.
wow the reporter ruined this special moment! how many times do she have to repeat herself goodness!
Why does it matter how much she weighs I just matters about being with your family
It*
+fuhrer l youre a dumbass
"He can actually pick her up with no problem now"
Savage 🤣🤣🤣
The title says that the soldier lost the weight.
Yes awesome sweetie heart 💗💗💗
One cares about her weight loss, it's about a husband a father a son coming home from being gone for a year.
Well Larry has a good heart. The Reporter could learn a thing or two off him. What did weight had to do with him coming home? They took the excitment of him coming home. Am I right?
This man just got back from WAR and yet i didn't hear one "thank you for serving our country", nothing but his wife like "hey everybody, look at me!!!! ME, ME, ME!!!!" Now IIII'M SMH.....
Autum j I'm an army brat and army wife... Please shut up about the thank you, it actually pisses a lot of service members off... most of the time, they want to be left the hell alone after getting home. My husband, family and friends don't want to be thanked.. at all they find it annoying for very valid reasons. So please don't. If anything, the reporter and the phone calls made him upset, not a lack of thank you's... and welcome home's.
Well, the reporters and endless phone calls were all about his wife! In case you didn't see the video of him (in his own home, trying to relax) his wife had a circus going on. He even commented, "I thought i'd be relaxing with my family when I got back." And in case you didn't know, her "LOOK AT ME" went so overboard that it ultimately ended their marriage! I'm sorry if you don't like what I have to say, but yes, a simple "welcome home" and a "thank you" is what he deserved...but not what he got.
Autum j I don't know where you were even able to find out they divorced, but being in a military marriage is like having typical marital problems, then other issues like the fact he was in a war zone, my husband and I have been trying to get things in our marriage right since he came home in 2013. Reintegration into the home isn't always easy for soldiers and wives. She's much thinner, he fell in love with her being bigger, she probably incited new eating habits to stay that way, ways he once again didn't marry her with, she brought a house and didn't tell him, he deployed probably saw a lot, so he's a completely different man than when he left, if he's like my husband the man you said bye to is in limbo, and a new soul has taken over him. Yes, he may have thought one thank you on camera would've been nice, but they weren't on camera a whole week. So no telling what happened.. please stop, do your research deployment is actually was kills military marriages... things aren't always the same.
I think we're done here.Bu-Bye.
How is the reporter gonna say something like that
Turn down the sound to avoid the cheesy commentary.
Haha i know right?! "He can actually pick her up now"
+Jj Trujillo this is an old comment i know but " a WHOPPING 315 pounds" stfu B
+D Right! she was like you can finally pick her ass up soldier
That reporter is so rude, like wtf.
my dad sees his mom every three years
so, the moral is, she's cheating on him?
literally the worst reporter ive ever seen =O couldnt even watch all of that
This reporter has completely ruined this video
Wow! She looks terrific!! What an awesome thing to do for herself and family.
“Person dies in wreck in Cass County”
Reporter: “ We have such a wonderful story for you today”
They really need to critique what they do for these kinds of stories before airing it.
What I don't understand is why the fact that she lost the weight makes her a better person according to the reporter.
Maybe he prefers larger girls.
The people who complain about girls being judged by their size them compliment them when they lose the weight.
He didn't really seem that surprised or happy
+William Steel im sure he has seen pictures and/or skyped with her. there was also a reporter in his face right after a flight across the world
They come home tired as heck
lol, that's one of the funniest titles I've seen on youtube: how does a soldier go viral? :)))
I'm happy for her while I feel bad for him. She's enjoying all this attention while he's only trying to enjoy his peaceful life with the family.
Damm low key did her wrong saying "he has no trouble picking her up this time"
I love how there isn't a video about a woman that GAINED 100 pounds while husband is deployed to Afghanistan..
I did not enjoy this stupid video. Great for her losing weight, that's really hard. What a sweet reunion... that reporter though, she was AWFUL. So rude, nosy, and just obnoxious.
The daughter and son should have welcomed him home first.
i wouldve thrown the camera at the reporter if i was there
the reporter was kind of rude....
The reporter trying so hard lmaoo
He didn't seem to happy, more like stiff and rigged with barely any emotions when she was in his arms.
flying high Perhaps He didn't want her to think he didn't approve of her before she lost weight. To be over the top in emotion about it, would be possibly hurtful to her.
flying high they are not same after being over seas
They sent the wrong reporter for this video. Running commentary is totally unnecessary. Film it, then do a report on it later. Did the family really say okay to this? UGH.
I hope this reporter has changed careers
The reporter is the worst ! Super derogatory and insensitive. The questions he asked him were disgusting .
This reporter had me cringing!
Usually I watch the whole video but this reporter is sooooo damn rude
This reporter should be slapped and fired.
"...that you CAN'T cut it with a knife." WTF?
+OutdoorLifeFamily yeah, I really need to go back and watch the video in its entirety. I was just commenting on that woman reporter's miscue on that oft-used saying....
OutdoorLifeFamily oh okay lol
Omfg LOL!!!!!!! Reporter: She is now 100 pounds lighter. Wow look at that now he can pick her up without any problem! Me: Or maybe she never got skinnier its just that the guy finally got stronger.
The controlling grandmother is taking the spotlight. Take several seats!!!
I don't know-he seems disappointed?Where's my beloved fatty I married?
i thought this was a fake news station
That reporter was rude
"Misty is eating it up!" SO RUDE....this is the most awkward news story EVER!
I thought it was the soldier that lost the weight! Damn no one cares that his wife did, I mean its an accomplishment but kind of being rude.
My Dad was in the Army
6000 calories a day??????
Bruh she got lucky as fuck 6000 a day she should of been 500 pounds she wasn't even that fat for 6000 calories a day
His wife ruined his chubby chase. You never what he was thinking when he first met, I am just saying.
Thumbs up for the video, thumbs down for the reporter such a nasty video. I’m glad he’s able to see his family.
I guess they called the news because she lost the weight and wanted to surprise him. I think the wife wanted it to be about the welcome home/weight loss surprise. I guess the news reporter would have been being rude to not mention the change .... then somebody would've said she's hating on the wife. LOL
This reporter is so annoying!
He loved her no matter what size she was. Why did the reporter mention this? He was coming home to her not her size. The 2nd reporter trys to make up for it.
she kinda looks like Sandra Bullock
Man,that reporter is rude and her he can pick her up comment.Wow!
he didnt act surprised by wife loss of weigth
That reporter is awful
he is going to go Brody on her lol
well maybe you should get the camera out of her face! @2.43
I must be a pessimist because I thought bad things like she was with another guy and decided to look good to get said guy, I'm sorry for that thought
Or her husband could have been cheating with one of the female soldiers.
i wonder why loosing wright is ovetrated than the family getting togethet again.
Fucking ridiculous! The reporter is so inappropriate, and rude. Happy for the family though.
please give them space, inappropriate to focus on wt issues on camera
this is horrible! This man fought for his country but your making a story about his wife losing weight WTF that's low
wtf did the "wan hundwed powns" have to do with this moment? News reporters and the cameras bringing attention, probably ruined the moment
Awh poor baby girl just gets left in the back. probly why she was crying!
Pero si el marido no le ha hecho ni caso...
This is totally bullshit LOL...the soldier does not care about the weight, all he missed is his family.
Shes very pretty
Who?
"You don't know what could happen in Afghanistan because you know what happens in Afghanistan...." ROFL 😂 it's refreshing to hear a politically incorrect reporter though. She seems sweet in real life but geezus fuck was this whole thing awkward!!!
Terrible reporter, good story.
Hahahahaha worst newscast ever
What a tacky story.
wtf, America?
a él no le importo :(
yeah but what if he likes fat chicks
