An obese man lost his best years due to his struggles with mobility and quality of life. By the time he was 44 years old, Reddit user kayeso1138’s weight had risen to an astounding 510 pounds due to his early adoption of a sedentary lifestyle and love of fast food.

It took him several failed attempts to lose weight before he decided to make a significant change in 2017.

Kayeso1138 started his weight reduction quest by adding swimming to his regimen after realizing that exercise on its own wouldn’t be enough without taking care of his meals.

He completely changed the way he ate, giving up junk food in favor of wholesome foods. His persistence paid off three years later when he was able to effectively reduce his weight to 220 lbs.


Kayeso1138 made improvements even throughout the epidemic, reducing his weight even more to 210 lbs. He is in shock at his change as he stands in front of the mirror.
