The fact that he gained weight after his first attempt and he didn't give up was a tell tale sign that he was committed.

This couldn’t be a sweeter guy. Smiling at my phone so hard. WAY TO GO, VANCE!

I'm turning 30 years old this coming year, and I've been overweight or fat since I was 12 years old. In the fall of 2017, my parents and siblings invited me to come to Vegas with them for a little family trip, and I went along. During the trip we wanted to go on a helicopter ride to the base of the Grand Canyon, but I was informed that, due to my weight, 377 lbs., I had to buy two tickets to get on the helicopter. We still went down, but it was the first time in a long time I've ever been embarrassed of my weight.

I got teased when I was younger, but I learned how to accept my weight. Even though I've been fat for the majority of my life, I've not really been ashamed of it. I was always willing to take my shirt off or get undressed because being called fat didn't hurt me. Being told I was so fat I had to buy two seats really hit me though.

I dwelled on that for a few months, and then in February of this year I bought a shitty, used, exercise bike from a garage sale for $75, and thought, "Might as well give it a try." My first bike ride I thought I was going to die because I just hopped on it and rode for 30 minutes just to prove I could. I realized that doing that would cause me to quit, so I dialed it back in following days and just did 15 minutes, then a break, then another 15 minutes. I had read somewhere that if you did 150 minutes of exercise [edit: that's per week not per day], you would lose a pound a week if you weren't over eating. So I did that 5 days a week.

Those first 2 months were hard because everytime I weighed in, nothing had changed. The seat hurt my butt so much I was sitting on a pillow to lessen the pain, but it hurt even then. I was eating less than I normally did, and I've never really been a big eater, just inactive. But then the third month I saw real change. Then more changes. Now I was riding longer and harder than ever before. Not to mention, I had finally grown used to riding on the bike so now my butt didn't hurt so much anymore.

Then in the summer I got hit with a month of bronchitis and could hardly breathe, let a lone ride, and then I was working 14 hour days at my job, so for two months I hardly even touched the bike and when I weighed in at the end of July it's like I hadn't done a thing because I had gained most of it back.

I cried. I hid myself away for a few days and just cried. This was the first time I've ever lost weight in my entire life and I had just ruined so many months of effort. But my Mom and Dad and siblings told me how proud they were of me, so I got back on that bike.

As of today, I am now 283.2 lbs. I haven't been under 300 lbs. since I was a 19 year old man fresh out of highschool. My weight loss hasn't been as drastic as this man's, but I wanted to share my own experiences because I found his inspiring on my own journey to a healthier body.

[Edit] I just want to say thank you to everyone who has offered me kind words and support. I've not shared my weight loss with anyone outside of my family. I think, after seeing this video, I want to try and see if I can't push my weight loss to the big 100 before the 1 year anniversary of my first bike ride.

Let's just hope the holidays don't set me too far back!

DDP is such an awesome guy, he's kind and generous and he truly cares about people - he's basically dedicated his life to helping people like this and I believe he's literally saved lives.

[u/Wendingo7]

DDP is to be listened to.

If Bert Kreisher can get fat, then I bet anybody can!

[u/Kee-Kong]

Wow, Bret Kreisher is fat

[u/EntertheWu94]

fuck yeah this is awesome, that dude is super inspiring. Even though at his heaviest he was only half the size of Bert Chrysler, he still buckled down and put in work. Great job

[u/zombiefatcher]

Wow, 53-year-old Brent Chrystler sure is an inspiration. It's a shame he is dead.
