If you want more info on how I did it. Everything has been documented (filmed) from the begining of my 630 pounds to right now. I have had some corrective surgery for the sagging skin, 3 in fact with another one on the horizon. I measured my scars and so far I have 216 inches or 18 feet of them. I am happy to have them considering what I used to look like and I can finally show off my body. I am currently working on getting certified by ACE. I might not be able to respond back but I appreciate everyone who looks at my befores and my afters and gets motivated to change their lives as well. I have been on Oprah, 20/20 and the View for my weight loss. I just want everyone to know it is possible so never doubt yourself. My key was to never set the bar too high.
I never set out to lose 400lbs, I set out to lose 20, then another 20.
Why I Love It:
I like to look and feel healthy.
How I Stay Motivated:
I LOVE IT!!! I stay positive. I focus on whats important in my life. Whats more important than being Happy?
BB Accomplishments:
I lost 401 pounds without surgery or pills. NOW I am adding Muscle naturally.

This pic was taken the day after surgery in 2006 to tighten my neck. What they did was tighten the muscles by tieing them like a shoestring. I also had a face lift, and lasering of the face by a laser. I have also had lasik and my teeth are veneers, also cheek implants.

I just want to motivate people into a lifestyle that is reachable. I am proof of that. I want to be a rolemodel not only for weightloss but for fitness as a whole. DETERMINATION to change, DETERMINATION to live!

How well have your scars healed up? I've lost about 30 pounds, and I still have another 110-130 to go, and having the excess skin removed is something I'd love to have done.
You look great!

Hey, wow im really happy for you, you've done amazingly well - but how did you let yourself get to that state in the first place?
David - Absolutely incredible transformation. Proof that diet and hard work will pay off. Pat yourself on the back for a job well done so far. Keep up the hard work.
