Everything has been documented (filmed) from the begining, I did it all through diet and exercise. I am an ACE certified Personal Trainer. 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 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. The "diet" I did was carb cycling, google it or go to http://www.staxsystem.com/

Why I Love It:
I just do!!!
How I Stay Motivated:
People look up to me and I want a family someday
BB Accomplishments:
I lost over 400lbs and People are motivated by my success!!!
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.
still need skin removal surgery. WORKN Hard!!! Can't Stop Won't Stop!!!
Reverse Pyramid training 12x, 6x, 9x, 12x reps at 90 secs rest (bodybuilding stage) Tabata training [intense, google it] (endurance) and power lifting 2x or 3x at 4 mins rest. (strength) I change things up every 3 to 6 weeks. For cardio I do usually 45 mins at low intensity. I don't jog or run,...
I remember seeing you on tv and thinking how difficult this journey must have been for you. But I know it's not over for you either. So I wish you the best in your new lifestyle. Keep it up bro!!!
hey bro!

Hi David It's wonderful your progress and the efforts you have done.But I can't avoid to point something and it's not your fault , it's the doctor's fault: about the arms lift, I have seen a lot of pictures of that procedure and ALWAYS they make the cuts UNDER de arms , where you can hide the scars NOT on the SIDES because there would be very notorious as in your case Why they did them there?I have lost weight too ,not as much as you did but enough to need some surgeries.
Hey David ! How are man ! I want tell you that you did a excellent job with your losing all that weight bro ! It's only up from here man just keep staying positive and all things will come! Good Luck with all your training!
Finally saw the documentary of your journey from fat to fit. I didn't like the title but so enjoying the documentary of you. Good job dave smith.

I also must say, your dating woes are normal...and the right girl will find you. Please do not lose your charm in your search, that is what makes you special. Congratulations! What a tremendous transformation and you are definitely HOT! But I think that comes from your heart...and THAT is HOT!

A few minutes ago, the show "45 stone virgin" ended at one of Swedens tv-channels. From the minute I started watching, I couldn't believe my eyes! What an amazing achievement, what a determination! I'm so impressed, you're such an inspiration for EVERYONE!.
I really hope that you find inner peace and a lovely girlfriend that deserves a guy like you!
I wish you good luck!
