I Was 405lbs And Obese - Now Look At Me | BRAND NEW ME

A MAN who weighed 405lbs has lost half his body weight in three years, transforming himself from obese to beast - and even taking part in a bodybuilding competition. In 2018, Levi, from Rhode Island, went to hospital after experiencing intense chest pains - and doctors told him that the next one would be a massive heart attack. He decided to change his lifestyle for good so he could be there to see his grandson grow up. Committing himself to a cleaner diet and consistent exercise, Levi lost 230lbs - and shocked his wife by competing on stage in a bodybuilding competition. Levi is now a fitness coach and says: “I want to be the best me I can be, the best version of myself, mentally, physically and emotionally. I’m stronger than I’ve ever been, I look better than I ever have, and I know it - and own it.”

Thanks everyone for the kind comments! Truly appreciate it

Inspiring. Started at 422 lbs., now down to 344. My goal is to get out of the "300" club. Hearing stories like this tells me it's not impossible.

Thanks for sharing this!

Im on my way. I was 400 lbs in march. Im down to 328 right now. Stuff like this keeps me going

[Flutes_are_vaild]

You are truly an inspiration. I hit 325 in my early thirties, I'm now at 230. I still have a ways to go. Great job!!

“I look better than I ever had. I know it and I own it” yes sir you’ve got it!

[hoovy]

I'm not the type to leave a comment on videos. But congrats brother. I too am currently on my own journey and your video just reminded me of where I was and where I'm headed. Already down 180 lbs. Not stopping here. Going all the way too. God bless and to anyone thinking they can't do it. Yes you can. I felt the same way and I'm already a different person.

“I never bring a bad day home to my family!” Good man

We need more Levi’s in this world. Truly an inspiration.

He used to be my manager. He was the man then and is now. 100% authentic

I loved this whole video, but it really struck something in me when he said “Fall down 9 times, get up 10.” I let fear of failure hold me back to often, so I needed to hear this. 🙏🏼❤️

I respect any man who doesn't allow a bad day effect his family 🤠🙂🌟😊

[DeathofaLifestyle]

this is amazing. i have to show this to my man cuz this guy reminds me so much of him and we been on our weightloss journey for a while now with so many ups and downs but we arent giving up and i know if he could see this he would be motivated. I know this is a long shot but if anyone reading this could drop by the channel and leave some encouraging words I'd be forever grateful. I tell him he can do it all the time but I dont know if it's enough, I know he needs to believe in himself so maybe more people letting him know would help. Idk. but good job Levi, you did amazinggg

[SarahJeanCole]

"He went from being obese to a beast" I love that!! Incredible job you are truly aspiring. All my love from Michigan ❤️

[leahirons]

"Fall down nine times & get up ten." I really like that statement. It actually made me a little emotional 🙂

[candace]

He's so inspiring. His weight loss and fitness is phenomenal.

Getting back into myself! After the military, gained weight and I’m 30 and feel like I need to get back into shape. Trying to lose 100 lbs by Summer of 2022. Down 8 lbs in 3 two weeks and plenty more to go :) Great job Levi!!!

[LexKing]

I wish I could have my son speak to you and meet you he's 17 and very depressed and so unhappy and unmotivated. I congratulate you and im inspired I will show him this video thank you for sharing

“I never bring a bad day home to my family” amazing mental fortitude. Great fathership mentality.
