This is the most honest report of weight loss. "It's takes months and years, " ❤

Man he even looks younger!!! What a great story.

[teribarr]

You are an amazing father sir. You not only changed your life, you changed your families lives. You inspire others by sharing your story. Godspeed to you 🙏

Congratulations on your weight loss! My husband went through the same thing as you, he weighed 426 lbs and got diagnosed as a type 2 diabetic a little over two years ago. He's lost 175 lbs since then. It takes a lot of willpower to make such a massive change! Keep up the good work!

From a father to another, im going through the same thing as we speak. I let myself go, i too have high blood pressure and diabetes, im just hoping with dedication and commitment to my self and to my children, i can conquer myself as you did, there are tough days, where i cant find it in me to move, constant anxieties about everything. I just hope that prayer and movement will help me. Thank you for the inspiration. I want to see my kids grow and be able to hang around with my grandkids in the future.

Sugar addiction is serious.
Great story

[lydianewman]

What an amazing journey and an inspiration for many going through similar challenges. Kudos!

Absolutely amazing transformation 🙏 well done my friend..such sound advice about doing things slowly..I’ve lost over 65lbs slowly in 3 years through intermittent fasting and followed a plant based diet..I started doing 12 hrs fasting a day, then 13, 14, 15..etc it up to now 18-20 hrs a day..gradually cut out sugar and reduced oily/fried food..I eat plenty of fruit, vegetables, lentils, beans, grains, seeds, salads. Go walking regularly and meditation..I will never go back to my fatty ways 😮

Inspiring!!!! Many blessings to this family man. We should all clean house whether it’s with our health, weight, cleaning clutter, etc. it really welcomes the “new” to come in.

Any1 who has been fat and then got into shape will testify that its the best feeling ever and you would not give it up for anything

Money, clothes, cars mean nothing when your not happy with what you see in the mirror everyday

Being in shape is a way that everyone can feel amazing thats why its horrible that people are being told to stay fat under the name of body positivity

If you really want to feel positive and have good mental health, then get into good shape and you will have it all

Cutting sugar alcohol carbs juices smoothies etc makes a big difference

[stephanieyee]

Well done, Bayar. You look amazing and, more importantly, you feel better. Being able to inspire your children to be healthy is a great by-product of your weight loss.
Congratulations on completing a triathlon and good luck for the big one you're training for.

[lesliecurtis]

I'm so proud of you you deserve all the happiness life has to give 💜

[d.lawrence]

Is it just me, or does he look MUCH younger? Usually, when morbidly obese people lose hundreds of pounds, then end up looking much OLDER. Well, good for him anyway. And congrats.

[ericavila-]

Incredible weight loss! He's such a karate master after fighting all those diseases!

[TheAlfredPlatform]

He looks great! So many parents and spouses dont understand that letting yourself go is not only a disservice to.your children and spouse but also a disservice to yourself. Good for him!!

[janiceritchot]

How wonderful for you and your family .God is good !
