Have you watched Click, the movie about a universal remote control? If you can still recall, there is a scene where Michael gain lots of weight and later put them down. He play with his excess skin by flipping them around like a tongue.
David has a similar case here. He was 630 lbs (285 kg) in year 2003, and he is only 229 lbs (103 kg) this year. No weight loss pills are consumed or surgeries in this period, which is really amazing.

David’s Story
I used to weigh 630 pounds. I have been overweight all my life. I was close to death. I was written off by everyone, even myself. All of a sudden I woke up it seemed from my despair and I realized feeling sorry about my life wasn’t going to solve my problems. I decided to change my existence.I weigh 229 now, I lost 401 pounds but I have excess skin. I wear a Large shirt and I can fit in a 34 waist. WEIGHTLOSS IS DONE! When I first started losing it was hard, I could only walk 500ft. I can now walk for days. I had problems doing everything, but I persevered over every obstacle. People used to laugh in my face, take pictures, and other degrading stuff. Now its another story getting buff, and so on. All within 3 years of starting. Crazy part is that I’m only half done! I want to be around 230 solid cut up when done.
I need surgery to remove excess skin, all my surgeries have been recorded for TV and will probably air next year. I have had 2 surgeries so far. One on Dec 7th and one on Feb 28th. These two surgeries removed 22.5 pounds of skin. The average person has 7 to 8 pounds of skin. My upper body is almost done I just need one more surgery. My lower body needs a inner thigh lift as well.

Weight loss is not impossible, it is all depends on you. If David can reduce 400 pounds, I believe you can do it too.

David may never see this……. but…….Wow - I am so proud of you! I attempt to train my friends who are over weight because I do not want them to suffer. It is a very difficult battle, but worth all my energy. I want them to take better care of themselves. You give me the inspiration to keep up my efforts.
