You have to hand it to people who completely transform their bodies without surgery.
Going from obese to fit is one of the biggest challenges a person can take on in their lifetime, but for many it's a decision of life and death. As someone who can barely find the time to occasionally hit the gym, I can't even imagine what a major change people like this man who lost 270 pounds through diet and exercise go through — both physically and mentally.
Just like this man who was tired of hiding and feeling ashamed of his body, John David Glaude was done making excuses for his 360-pound weight and decided to make a major change while he was just a teenager. He says hitting the gym was intimidating at first, but once people started congratulating him on his efforts, there was no stopping him.
To date, John has lost an astonishing 160 pounds and looks amazing, but what really got people's attention was a video he bravely posted to face his biggest insecurity. As you can see in the following clip from The Ellen DeGeneres Show, Glaude lifts his shirt to reveal the excess skin left behind from his weight loss.
Ellen Degeneres brought John on her show to talk about his incredible weight loss journey, but it's what he says at the 3:36 mark that made me cheer out loud. When Ellen reveals her big surprise for John, it's an amazing moment. He really deserves it for helping so many people around the world kickstart their own healthy lifestyles!
