Walking 2 miles might not seem like a lot, but when you're over 600 pounds and relying on that walk for each and every one of your meals, it's a different story. "Drastic" might be a word that comes to mind when you think of taking that trek to and from your local Walmart for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, but for Pasquale "Pat" Brocco, it was a major step in a life-changing journey.
What began as a childhood habit of fast-food-fueled overeating quickly became scary after Pat's doctor said the words "pre-diabetic," "high blood pressure," and "gastric bypass." He may have taken baby steps at first, but Pat eventually shed over 300 pounds in three years. This is his story.
Why did you decide to transform?
A little over three years ago, I was a bodyguard touring with a notable comedian. We placed a friendly bet on the NBA finals, and the loser had to do 50 push-ups. I lost. When I attempted to crank out my punishment, I couldn't even do one push-up. This happened in a room full of people, mostly ladies, and it was embarrassing. I was supposed to be protecting them, and I couldn't even do one push-up. To add insult to injury I was in front of a comedian, so you can just imagine how that went.
I stayed on tour for about six more months and then finally decided to go to a doctor. I couldn't weigh myself on home scales, so I had no idea what to expect. The doctor told me I was 605 pounds, prediabetic, morbidly obese, and had high blood pressure. He suggested I consider gastric bypass! It was one of the scariest, eye-opening moments of my life. I was 28 and making my death bed.
Did you head home and automatically change?
I emotionally ate for about a week. Then, one morning, I looked at my reflection when getting out the of shower. I was ashamed of what I saw. My stomach hung to my thighs, and my breasts were huge. I knew I couldn't live like this anymore. I needed to change, and that's exactly what I did.
I headed straight for the kitchen, emptied my cabinets and refrigerator, and threw all the junk food away. At 600 pounds, I couldn't do much in terms of exercise, so I decided to walk to get every meal I ate. I knew I'd get hungry 3-4 times a day, and I used that feeling to motivate me to my destination. When it was time to eat breakfast, lunch, or dinner, I'd walk a mile to Walmart and a mile back. I did that for my first 60 days.

Thank you for giving me hope I started at 625 and now I’m 390 I watch this video every day
Steven Jones great job brother keep at it let’s get it man 💪🏻
Determination and a good workout plan and this video
ibuckley I ate fish and chicken lots of beans veggies no starchy foods
ibuckley my bad yeah black bean pinto beans baked chicken and grilled chicken never fried
Hey hope you still on your weight loss journey... Im just starting hope to stay motivated
When i saw the scale say 385 I felt like my soul left my body. This was back in September, today I'm 285 and workout 5x a week. I'm never going back.
@Alex B.
Had that same realization at a doctor's visit a while ago. Trying to find how to start this weight loss journey after so many failed attempts. Thanks for the inspiring comment ❤️
Ka-Kai same I hate not being able to fit regular clothes and having to pay more for extra cloth
@Y&B Dee
I know, right?! But I know we can succeed in losing weight. Let's do this! 😊
@@potmeetkettle thank you for being so positive!
@Cannon Goslin Support is key especially from other you may not know. When i go to the gym it's so surprising how others are always willing to help.
Hes a beast. He would go to my movie theatre job every other day, I saw his progress, every visit he looked thinner. Once i was working out next to him at my local gym. Hes dope.
Really cool dude
❤️
wow tall dude too, 6'8''? That's slightly taller than my door.
Thank you for sharing that, that is really super.
He's in AZ?
When the comedian and his entourage made fun of him for not being able to do a push-up, all the pain of his childhood bullying must have rushed back to his heart 😕 Thank you for sharing your story.
I think the comedian did a great job I mean sure it was mean but he finally woke and and made a change that was his turning point if the comedian never said that he would probably be dead today
@@Wogsmawp true sadly
@@Wogsmawp this kinda of thing can easily backfire though. he had his true wake up call when he went to the hospital and got weighed and put on meds
9% body fat? Respect to this dude, a true example of a human inspiration!
maaan i know, i can't get my 16 to 10, and this nword went from 60 to 9
Wow , that’s as much as me 😆👌🏾
@@danielsalas7071 I know right? I'm at like 13ish (took a year of hard training, I've never been fat but I had a tiny bit of fat) and trying to get to like 9 or 10. This guy's a beast.
I agree repect people just the way they are !! 😡
Amazing and I've never seen anything below 19%.
damn at 600 pounds walking 9 miles a day. that is very very impressive. really good video
Ya it's great I don't even do that.
Seananigans
I agree
Sheer force of will.
I agree that's extremely impressive, I would be surprised he could do it without having any back strain. I have never weighed 600 and me this dude are about the same age (1 year difference) but at my heaviest, at like close to 400 lbs I would not be able to walk 9 miles.
It's basically your mind that holds you back. You can always make the hard choice but almost every human wants the easier choice - staying home instead of walking 9 miles.
“…I was 53% body fat. Half my body was still fat…” This was the part that opened my eyes to myself. I never thought of it like that… brings a new meaning to me. Thank you for this.
I was 250 mostly fat and hated the way I looked I’m currently 185 I lost 50+ pounds in 7 months
Nice man wish that was my starting weight. Was 325 now 238 but still got a long way to go.
Cause yo ass played 2k a lot. You cared more for the community then your own health. Glad you good now
@@Sylique you exactly right bro
@@basedaudio1 i was 320 now im at 250. i can do it you can too !!!
@@jamesbennett5189 how long that take? What were you doing?
I was 583...now I am 332 and still working it. This man is my inspiration. Your health is YOUR responsibility ! Own it! It is the greatest gift you have. Be there for your loved ones and enjoy life!
You're doing really good my man. Keep going. We all believe in you and we're with you. You can do this
You tryed testosterone yet
Congratulations man keep up the positivity and u will reach Ur goal man.
@@theday2164 that is terrible advice
If I knew you I wouldn’t consider you fat because of how much you lost
when a man cries . u know he went through some real pain
Or he is a human ....
And he's a very handsome man

Man this guy was my inspiration first time
I check this i was 300 pounds , now checking in again at 209 pounds . Thanks legend
Amen to you brother. I found this video in 2020 when I was pushing 350lbs, and now I’m down to 230. Goal is 180. Almost there. 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿
Imagine people seeing him at his high school reunion
I PRAY THAT THIS TESTIMONY TOUCHES SOMEBODY OUT THERE WHO NEEDS IT. 🙏
I personally can use this as my motivation to not quite. And fulfill my dream to be a boxer as i mainly struggle with my weight. since april i began to change my diet and start a workout routine. But find it sometimes hard since i lack the support from people like my family, is depressing to see my own parents underestimate me and think i won't ever be a boxer or achieve anything in life and just laugh at my dreams I've even considered suicide but keep reminding myself that it will be over soon 😞😞😓💪💪
It did
I‘m gonna do it
Amen!
CAM Humphries it did.
He’s so sweet!!! The way he talks about his journey with all passion and emotions. I’m happy he’s happy

@@kakarot5219 : )
I’m 27, 5’9 and 395, had a wake up call recently. Finally changing my lifestyle, you just motivated me even more. Thank you.
Keep it going!!!!
How is it going?how much do you weigh now
Update!!
Shock the world!
How's it going now?
I had the pleasure of getting to know him before he lost the weight. He’s always been such a sweetheart. & seeing his transformation from the beginning makes me so proud❤️
The willpower this guy has is insane. Most people find it hard to lose just a couple of pounds!
It's not hard when you've felt like shit about yourself for so long. I believe that people have to hit rock bottom before they really know which way is up. It's easy to find excuses but in the end, everything you do either gets you closer to or farther away from your goals. It's how bad you want your goal that counts.
It isnt hard to lose a couple of pounds, people who say that are the weakest kind of all animals in the world..
Pain fuels you.
@@samdajellybeenie14 I needed to hear this tbh.
Thomas Marshall no when ur too obese its easier to lose weight bc if u flop around u lose a couple pounds in a hour
huge respect for this man
karan mahna is that a fat joke?
I am surprised you can get to 605lbs and not have heart attack
@@whispercars306 that really depends on height. The fat is distributed differently depending on how tall you are if a 7'3 guy was 605 lbs he'd probably look like a 300 pound 6'4 guy
I see the sincerity in this guys eyes.. His hurt and his pride in his struggle and accomplishments. Respect.
He is such a precious person with such kind eyes. I'm so happy for him! What an inspiration he is!
Who ever disliked this is dumb this man one of the realist mf on this planet I used him for motivation my self
todd hadfield overweight people who dont believe it's possible are the ones disliking this
SIMPLYME! No u idiot people who are full of challenges
todd hadfield I watch this each day
todd hadfield same
todd hadfield well he’s wearing his fucking shirt inside out
I’ve been a big guy all my life. I had just turned 19 years old, 6 foot and 350 lbs. I was at home eating McDonald’s when I noticed this video in my recommended (even thought I had never watched fitness videos on UA-cam) seeing this beasts story set a fire in me I didn’t know was there.
I took a hard look at myself, and realized not just what I was doing to my body, but my legacy, I wanted to be remembered as the BUFF guy not the big guy. Fed up with my obesity I went to the gym that night for the first time in my life.
1 year (and a lot of hard work) later and I’m proud to say I’ve finally hit my goal weight of 190 lbs! I’ve still got a long way to go to be my best self, but I welcome the challenge.
Grateful for guys like Pat to be around showing us boys what it takes to be a real man.
Congrats!
How are you doing now brother
🤎💜💙💚
I honestly believe god sent you that sign, there's no other way this video would have popped up in your recommended. And actually, this video has got me motivated myself, I'm currently 14 and weigh 150, and I'm 5 foot 10 inches, the funny thing is that I don't look 150, I look more like I'm 120 because I'm built pretty lean. But anyways I've wanted to build some muscle for a while but never really tried it, so I'm going to have to pump some iron. I'm pretty proud of you though for getting into shape like that, because it takes a lot of motivation, congratulations my friend!
do you have loose skin?
You came into my Walgreens when I managed the Avondale store a few years ago. Such a good guy! Awesome work. Thanks for sharing.
As I'm watching, I'm 17 at 328 Ibs. This video inspired me even more to continue to journey to lose weight, it will be tough but I'm in it for however long it takes.
How have you been doing on your weight loss?
I wish you all the best♥️
How is your journey going?
Stay strong. You can do it. GOD be with you.
tf u be eating 😧😭😭
Damm i need to lose some. How bout i run 1 mile for every like?

U seem skinny, from your videos. But, go ahead. Run boooii
Such a handsome young man.... beautiful eyes....good for him...God bless 😇
PoppyChild75 hes 31
@Abitamim Bharmal have you ever heard of opinions? Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I personally love all eye colours and he has beautiful eyes in my opinion
PoppyChild75 Of course that’s what you got from this video.
oh wow I can see the sadness in his eyes when telling that story. God bless him and I pray his journey continues and he continues to inspire others!
Hey y'all 👋🏼, I just wanna say thank you. I am 15 years old and struggled with my weight for years, when I was only 14 years old I weighed 105kg. I came across your video and it honestly inspired me a lot 🙌🏽. A year later I now weigh 70kg, hardwork, exercise and eating clean truly helps. I also became vegan 3 months into my journey and that was seriously one of the best decisions of my life, it worked for me. If your a teenager who struggles with weight please DO NOT care what others say or what they're doing with their lives, focus on yourself and you will see change 🔥💯.
I went from 464 to 413 in ten months. A few months from now hopefully I'll be at 390.
bartolongsleeve A combination of bad habits, and a major lack of exercise. I regret letting myself get to this point, I basically wasted my teenage years sheltering myself in my bedroom. Prevented myself from being able to do and wear the things that I wanted to, interact with people how I wanted to. But now that I'm older I want to be able to live life without any physical limitations.

I could watch these stories for the rest of my life and enjoy every second of them. I believe in anybody who wants to put in the effort.
You can really see the look on his eyes when he reminisced over those dark times. Like even remembering it was a pain. Thanks for giving me motivation to lose 60 lbs pal, I was an emotional eater and can relate to this so much.
Nobody is probably going to believe me, but, here i go. I am currently 20 years old. 6'11 405. I just currently started my weight loss journey. Weight lifting is SO fun and energetic. Good luck on everyone else's.
Brandon if you got yourself down to 300 with muscle mass you'd be a beast!
That's the goal!
6'11 225? ... Lol i'd look horrible
Brandon You'd look like a beast at 300 especially at 6'11
Good luck, and keep striving! I'm with you and I believe in you
Went from 323 to 249 in three months and I’m still losing weight
Wow what did you do?
nice job!
omg what did you do?!
What you did
I did the same thing. List 101 pounds in 6 months. Sadly Ive gained it all back and I hate it. Took me 2 years to get it all back... I hate it.
The tears at the start of the video... the beautiful smile at the end of it... simply inspiring! ❤
This video has inspired me. I weigh 330 pounds and I'm 5'7. There was just something so sincere about this video that I saved it. Much respect to this man. He's gotta be inspirational to others as well. Much love...
Emily Martin hope you’re doing well. I’m struggling too and hoping to lose about 100lbs. I don’t get on the scale. I haven’t in 5 years. I’m going off of my clothes feeling looser and if people start saying “you look like you’ve lost weight.”
goddd damn
100 lbs in 60 days???? Kudos brotha!!!
Merc Solo that's impressive
It's easier to lose weight when you're morbidly obese
Soul Rebel the more you have the easier to lose has a limit, when you weight 600 pounds moving is hard, exercise is even harder, walk 6 to 9 miles a day it's hard even for the slightly obese let alone the very very very obese.
Soul Rebel
It still takes a lotttt of effort
More weight = more work = more results.
I lost like 40 pounds walking 5-10miles to school for half a year. 6'1, 140pounds. Underweight is a whole different aspect and hard for me to keep muscle at times starving lmao.
But 100lbs in 60 days is freaking insane. He put in the work, and then some.
went from Mr steal yo Twinkie to Mr steal yo wife.
Bruh dead! lol
*HE STOLE MY TWINKIE*
Lol right. He looks amazing.

HARRY HO lol same
SAME LMFAO
Kat Williams
Nah Reggie Warrington
EXACTLY
What a darlin', I really felt for him, seeing the tears in his eyes, he spoke from his 💙
Pat is incredibly impressive. Most of us, myself included, immediately react to the realization that we need to lose weight with some variation of "What program do I need to follow? Who can tell me what I need to do?". And that research definitely has its place... but this guy just went out and took two simple- but very difficult- steps to change his life, and then rolled from there. That's an inspiring show of mental fortitude and discipline.
He has such beautiful, friendly eyes. I just want to give him a hug and buy him a beer!
But he's a big, mean bodyguard!!!!
I’m a 60 y/o Black woman from southwest Louisiana. It’s not uncommon for us to eat stuff like smothered potatoes ( smothered with bacon fat) and rice or spaghetti and rice. Rice and fried foods are almost “genetic”! But after viewing this video, you just motivated my old arse to start walking and eating better! I’m 245 in my “skivvies” and I’m determined to weigh under 200 fully dressed! Thanks for sharing. There’s so many of us with the desire to lose and live a quality life but have no idea sometimes how simple it is to start. We need people like you to share and care. Thanks and God bless!😃😃😃
My name is John I'm also on the Southwest side of Louisiana Lake Charles to be exact I deal with heavy depression behind my weight
John Young I’m from New Iberia and I’m starting to feel depressed too! Seems like the weight is lying in wait.....ready to pounce. I’ve tried Keto and others but no success! But I’m not giving up!
Wdym almost genetic?
DEATHTRAP we think nothing of the aforementioned combinations of starches. A lot of times it was eaten that way because of affordability or lack of. Maybe a poor choice of words on my part. I’m just thankful after all those years of overeating and poor meal choices, I’m still here to change!❤️
good luck lois
This video was 4 years old and Still changing lives that why Testimonies are so important you look great and thanks for the video’s.
At 38 with two young boys, Your such an inspiration to tell me. 'I can still do it' I keep telling myself i'm too old but i'm clearly not. THANK YOU!!!!!
thanks for the video. I loved what he said "if you can put on the weight, you can lose the weight." if your able to gain the weight you can definitely lose the weight!
Well if you able to fort you can shot lol
Wow 300 pounds in three years? Awesome!!!
@Captain Fantastic whoa. How'd you do it? I'm currently trying to lose 100 pounds, to be better able to live life as i want.
@@kebataliam496 I've lost 60 pounds in the last 4 months. My fitness app has been a game changer. I cook 90 percent of my meals now, I eat a lot of veggies so I can feel full, and I enter every calorie I eat into the app to make sure I don't eat too much.
Uncle Freddy so how much did u weigh originally
He is the kind of person you want to succeed. He comes across as such an amazing and genuine human being. So sweet and gentle. God bless him!
"Being around people your same size, you don't realize how big you are." All of my family are big, so sometimes I do feel like I'm normal despite being obese.
Behind this beautiful smile were so many tears. Motivated me a lot, I lost 60 pounds for the last 3 months, I'm on my 330 now. I'll never stop grinding
"Addicted to finding results, reaching my goals," that's the mentality I seek as I go through my own fat to fit journey!
That’s actually a show
It’s called fit to fat to fit
It’s really motivational
Pat brocco thank you for your honesty and transparency ... I too struggled with my weight but have found freedom . Proud of you
Damn, 100 pounds in 60 days just by walking to get food. Really puts into prospective how much of a fat lazy shit I am..
I am currently 6'5 and about 350 pounds. It's time for me to change that.
Sir Fortesque76 you got this!
Sir Fortesque76 it's been 2 months. update?
Ben Wissem - Not dropping weight as quickly as he did, but that's been my problem forever, it takes me so long to lose the weight.
However, with that said, I've lost 36 pounds and counting :) so even though it's not as much, I feel proud of myself.
Cut soda completely.
Drinking a TON more water and or zero sugar/calorie drinks
And I'm consuming much less calories a day in general, averaging at about 1500-1700 a day.
I also exercise for at least 30 minutes a day, five days a week.

To get down to 9% body fat and still be in the 270's! What a beast! Amazing and inspiring. I love this!
Inspiring story to watch about a young man who found his way through his journey to improve his life. I really enjoyed what this man had to say about how he got to where he is today.
Huge respect to Pat in 2018....all the way from St Petersburg Russia 🇷🇺😎
Very inspiring!!! it's videos like this that keeps us all going.... Even on the days that your just not feeling up to training. I too have lost 100 pounds, going from 6'3 340 and now to 6'3 240 at 15% bodyfat. The journey started for me on 1/1/16 and we're still going, Never give up!!!!

Damnit when the tear rolled down his cheek... :,( right in the feels man.
Respect!
The gym is my sanctuary, I love working out. Finding inspiration during this time has been a challenge for me with the gym closures. Balancing my weight has been a work in progress my whole life. Especially after having babies!
Thank you for sharing your story, your honesty and courage was something I needed to hear today. Sending much love and light to you brother 💡🙏🏼
You’re gorgeous, not just because you’re easy on the eyes but because you’re personality is so humble and sweet!! Thanks for inspiring me to get through another work out tonight ❤️
Fat acceptance people need to see this
Exactly my thoughts!
lol
i agree that fat acceptance is crap i fell into that trap and i am paying for it now
Tobias Svärd fat isn't good! People need to see this to see that fat scceptscnce is shit and encourages nasty big weights
The truth about obesity should be revealed. People keep telling it is not healthy, bla bla bla... Facts need to be shared. Starting from bad circulation of blood in your legs, which lead to a number of other issues, to all the illness, where obese people are exponentially more vulnerable. Heart, Lunge, kidneys are overloaded. and so on.
If anyone accepts that, it's their choice, but why would anyone else have to accept it?

“No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it.” Get fit for your soul!
The more important aspect is why would god want your life to be hard with temptation. Why would he want you to struggle with something that causes you physical and emotional pain. Seems sadistic to me.
Amen!!!
The bible isint made to make sense to western minds. Romans 12:1-2 Therefore I urge you brothers in view of Gods mercy to offer your bodies as living sacrifices holy and pleading to him. This is your spiritual act of worship, that you do not conform any more tp the patterns of this world but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.
God doesent care about you being flawless but he wants you find your true identy in him. When you start focusing on who he is and who you are in him you'll start to be transformed. And holy means to be set apart, not some impossible spiritual plane.
Because he knows you can do
Hard things, life is not easy. We learn from overcoming all things. That is what life is about. If life isn’t hard, what is life?
Amen ❤️
Thank you so much for posting this. I have so much admiration and respect for these people who have the courage to bare their soul, show their vulnerability and encourage others. This is true strength and heart.
LOVE of self is key... with self-respect and self-love, we can do anything for ourselves that we DESERVE. Love this video, thank you for sharing, such an inspiration.
100 chicken nuggets
Large fry

Boi, me too.
An awesome description of one man reaching deep within his own person to find self. Incredible achievement, at 54 I am 289 and my gole is to drop 89 pounds an run a marathon. You have inspired me. God Bless You always.
how would you not get tired of their shitty chicken??
Antwun Trademark I could barely eat that in a week tbh
Stanford Moss I’m glad you figured things out but Jesus chicken nuggets sound gross after just 30 of them 😂
I cut out fastfood
Thank you for sharing your story Pat! The struggle is so real and you are right, I don't think people fully understand. I have lost a total of 30 pounds now and have been working my way down from 570. I have found accountability through my weekly videos and encouragement through different channels.
James Jansen keep up the hard work bro, you got this
Thanks Aleksey! It has been a rough road, but I have almost lost 50 pounds now!
Keep up the good work! How much more weight have you lost?
James Jansen nice!!
James Jansen it’s been 11 months, tell us it’s another 50 by now.
"If you can put on the weight, you can loose the weight"...
I am so moved by your story and thank you so much for your encouragement. God bless you brother🙏🏾❤
The tears show what this man has been through and anyone who has shed those same tears knows exactly what it feels like.
Great job man. Hat off to you

Great inspiration to anyone looking in the mirror and not appreciating what they see.Real emotions and real tears from a beautiful Soul💕💕
How can some people still be able to dislike such a great video testimony ? ...The human race is really full of mystery.
I work security, I'll be turning 29 soon. Weigh 298lbs, I'm a father of 3 girls. My goal, is to loose 98lbs, and work on my upper body. It's an on going battle for a couple years now, but I'm not quitting.

Thank you for telling your story. You are an inspiration. It is one of the hardest things to change your eating habits and routines. Not only have you helped save yourself your story has helped save others. Peace.
Love these motivational stories. This guy is definitely speaking from the heart.
Now that's motivation, good job young man
Bro, this makes my heart jump. You’re strong brother. Mad love to your determination.
So uplifting and motivating! Thanks for the hope!❤
Thank you. I'm having an "intervention" of sorts for my daughter next week. She needs to loose and loose a lot unfortunately. But I've already told her, she won't do it alone! I'll be right next to her ever push up, every sit up, every curl, every step. Not bc i need to loose alot, but just bc i want to support her and also bc i feel as her mother, maybe i contributed in some way. After all, i do the shopping and the cooking! So next week, my whole household will start not a diet, but a whole new way of living! We have a lot to live for! Thank you for inspiring me as well as I'm sure her as soon as i make her watch this! Lol. Please, just praying she is ready and accepts it. Bc we all know, you gotta want it, you gotta be in that place that says, no more! In order to truly turn around. Thank you, again, so much! God bless and congrats!
