David Smith - 650 pd virgin

[quorra]

I watched the special and when he was on the Today Show in I think 2010 - he lost 400 pounds and looked incredible.

He lost weight the right way and began working as a personal trainer, was this huge inspiration, etc.



I just watched him on a segment of the Today Show (nothing online yet), and he gained back over 300 pounds. He couldn't handle his newfound fame. He's trying to lose the weight all over again.

I feel badly for him - I know the struggle of weight loss, but I don't understand what happened to his support group. Where did they go?

I've never heard of this guy, but that's really sad.

How sad, he's really cute in that after pic. I hope he can lose it again and keep it off this time.

That's so sad. I hope he can lose it again and keep it off.

Oh no! I remember watching his special a while back...I know it has to be such a struggle for him.

Dh did that (not to the tune of 300 lbs! more like 20) and it drove me up.a.wall. He had been at around 200lbs as long as I had known him, got down to 180, then just stopped paying attention, and I bugged the crap out of him about it, he got crabby and snapped at me and told me to leave him alone, and back came the weight.

Now he has once again lost it, and more, and I have made him promise me not to blame me for checking up on him this time. I think now that he saw how easy it was to gain it all back, he understand a little more about why I was trying to get him to pay attention to it.
