The Man Who Never Gave Up (175 Pound Transformation)

[PureCoreTV]

I'm 6'3 320lbs 22 years old and I have been wanting to lose weight for years now. I decided 3 days ago that I want to lose this weight. And I'm doing it. Since 3 days ago I have ran a total of 8 miles.

It is a weird moment when you realize that determination is easier than procrastination...

this really motivated me to continue my weight loss starting at 457, now at 428 after 6 week, and now motivated by you to keep going and great job on your sucess

This is the favorite motivational video for me, ... ever. So much more respect for you Mr.Calvo than I already had. May God bless and keep you always!

Who the fuck cares about the lose skin?!?! What Jon did took hard work and commitment. I've always been an overweight kid and now I'm doing something about it. I've been at it for a month and a half now and I've already lost 23 pounds. I'm down to 277 and I do not plan on quitting! Being apart of a gym guarantees that I'll workout at least five times a week! It's so worth it and I feel great after going hard on every workout. Fitness is not a hobby, it's a lifestyle! Seriously, you just have to get off your ass, keep a positive mind and be consistent. If you're fat and you're reading this and you're looking for motivation, here it is. YOU CAN CHANGE. IT IS NOT IMPOSSIBLE. I know what it's like to be fat. It got to the point to where my belly just barely started to hang over. QUIT MAKING UP EXCUSES AND GET OUT THERE! I started out walking and then eventually joined a gym. DO IT! NO EXCUSES!!! Just to prove I'm fat, I'm 21, 5'8, and about a month and a half ago, I was near the 300 mark. I was at 298, woke up one day and said, "Fuck this." YOU JUST GOTTA DO IT AND GET ALL OF THE NEGATIVE THOUGHTS OUT OF YOUR HEAD THAT ARE TELLING YOU YOU CAN'T DO IT. YOU DON'T HAVE TO LIVE THIS WAY. CHANGE IS POSSIBLE. YOU JUST HAVE TO CONVINCE YOUR BRAIN.

As someone who worked as a server for 4 years, I can safely tell you based on my experience that fat people 9 times out of 10 order the nastiest, most unhealthy things on the menu.  Sometimes the medium/skinny build people will order healthy, sometimes not, but it is the overweight, "obese" class that will get the cheeseburger with added bacon/guac/cheese, curly fries, a side of ranch, and a coke that you end up refilling 3 times.  That is not a stereotype, that is what I have seen consistently time and time again on the job.  It is the cold, hard, gravy-smothered truth.  People are fat because they don't have self-control over their diet and live an unhealthy lifestyle of laziness and complacency, and if there's one thing I'm sick of even worse than the excuse-making it is the bleeding hearts who believe based on ZERO experience that most fat people have no control over their condition.  This guy is a fucking legend and living proof that anyone overweight can beat the odds.  The only obstacle in your path to overcoming is YOU!  So stop making excuses and take action like this man!

I'm glad that you are comfortable showing the extra skin as well, because this video is not only showing the transformation that you've gone through, but the reality of what the journey looks like. I appreciate greatly, your transparency and complete honesty and the fact that you embrace the imperfections and don't let it make you shy or ashamed. Great story and although, I don't know you I am rooting for you. Keep up the good work brother.

This guy is such a hero in my books! Jon, man there is something you have done in life now; who can say you did not do what you exactly wanted, through thick and thin! Congratulations!

I'm twelve and overweight, I'm not trying to be mean. But I'm going to lose weight before I'm done growing so I don't get all that loose skin.
