10 Of The Biggest Weight Loss Transformations Of All Time

A lot of people credit weight gain and obesity to lack of willpower. That’s just far too simplistic explanation. Some of the biggest weight loss transformations of all time will shed a proof on that.

That’s also not entirely true. Weight gain is largely a result of lifestyle and eating habits, but some people are at disadvantage when it comes to how they control what they eat.

Of course, this doesn’t mean that we can’t control ourselves. We can change our lifestyle and behavior with perseverance, dedication and willpower. If some people play on “easy” mode and lose weight easily, for some people it’s on level “intermediate” doing the same.

But claiming that weight gain is JUST a lack of willpower is far too simplistic and untrue.

We’ve made an incredible compilation of the biggest weight loss transformations of all time. Let this serve as a proof that it can be done!

David was on the brink of giving up his life. He was called the “650 pound virgin“.

His health and relationships went down spiral when his weight gain went out of control. But thanks to the amazing trainer Chris Powell, David was able to apply baby steps daily, by simply just walking around the house and focusing on one day without cheat meals. Day by day he succeeded at shedding over 100 kilograms!

Ronnie was the guy who used to struggle with his weight, until one day he decided: today it’s going to be the last day he felt like that. It took two years of hard work in the gym, diet restrictions and pumping iron on Taylor Swift songs to go from 306kg to lose a staggering 180kg + 16kg of skin that was cut away afterwards.

I HID MY FACE FOR YEARS—UNTIL THE DAY THEY HANDED ME THAT MEDAL I used to stare at the bathroom mirror and not recognize the guy looking back. After the blast, everything changed—my face, my voice, the way strangers looked at me. I couldn’t eat right for months. I couldn’t sleep. People avoided eye contact or gave me that pity smile that stings worse than a slap. At first, I wore a hoodie everywhere. Airports. Coffee shops. Even on base. I’d hear whispers, see phones sneak a picture. I hated being “that Marine with the face.” But what I hated more was the silence. No one ever asked what happened. Not really. Not until that one reporter—Lena—sat across from me with her notepad and said, “Tell me the part that no one ever hears.” So I did. I told her about the convoy. About pulling my buddy Carlos out of the burning Humvee. About the pressure wave, the ringing in my ears, the feeling of skin peeling off like wet paper. I thought I was dying. Then I woke up with my CO at the foot of my bed saying, “You saved three men. They’re calling you a hero.” I didn’t feel like one. Months later, I stood in front of a room full of suits and medals, cameras clicking like popcorn. I saw my mom crying in the front row. My hands were sweating through my dress blues. And then they called my name. But what hit me hardest wasn’t the applause. It was what someone whispered when I walked by…⬇️ (continue reading in the first cᴑmment)
