Dude is a real one loosing all that weight and sticking to what he said not blaming anyone or complaining about life. Seems like a real one👍🏻

Agreed good for him

Chris isa cutie. ☺️❤️

Losing weight. Now his clothes are loose.

JESUS loves us all, but he is a righteous judge and sin is still wrong even though he loves us. 1 Corinthians 6:9-11 "Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God."🙏🔥❤️

[@gratefuldead4605]

I weighed 495 pounds a few years ago when I decided my weight had gotten out of hand and decided it was time to lose some weight. I made a goal of being down under 275 pounds by my 50th birthday which will be on July 9th 2024 and I weigh 273.9 pounds as of this morning! I still have around 80 pounds to lose but I am so proud of myself I can't properly express it.

[@DinaNeamtu-ic8li]

CONGRATULATIONS SIR !

[@lindakelly7430]

That's amazing! Congratulations. You are right to be proud of yourself. Keep going....you'll get there. Best wishes from here in the UK. 💗💗

I usually feel 2nd hand embarrassment when listening to patients struggle to answer Dr. Now's questions. But this guy is so well-spoken! He actually had decent responses for everything, and was serious about it too.

[@user-hz3ds8hd2q]

Took the words out of my mouth

[@civilwildman]

I question if this guy is better educated than Dr Now’s worst patients.

[@DebbiePotter-xh7kv]

A lot of them are mentally challenged

[@virginiacacal5006]

@ user - commendable thought process - taking responsibility for himself in order to take care of his daughter - conc on healthy lifestyle & focus on satisfying career to jumpstart better habits - much healthier life surrounding himself with people away from the house - social butterfly 🦋 ‼️❣️‼️

Best patient ever. He tried to save himself and also his family. Hope for their success

[@songohan511]

„I guess y‘all didn‘t hear me. How y‘all doin?“ 😂😄

Very rare humorous moment on this show.

[@zakugirl]

Dr Now is always the savage even in his jokes

[@Starry152]

Dr Now's jokes are the best

[@citomakaveezly]

I genuinely don’t think they heard him 😂 either that or they were so nervous and neither one said anything and it was like “if she won’t say it I’m not gonna” type deal. I get it. These people are vulnerable and down bad. They def weren’t trying to be impolite.

[@NA-rb4zk]

😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@russrichard7114]

Fasting for 5 days is just incredible. This guy has a lot of discipline and determination and I am so glad he has such a strong support from his mom and brother. Well done Chris! You have made everyone watching this show so very proud of you.

[@32446]

It really is. Fasting is no joke. I’m currently on day 18 of fasting. Never felt better though despite it being so tough.

[@djsaintmusic7819]

It is incredible. I’ve been 16:8 intermittent fasting + eating at a calorie deficit and lost 6.9 lbs in 9 days but can’t imagine doing a 5 day fast. This guy has grit.

[@Dream-kp7bf]

@@djsaintmusic7819 how do you do it? im kinda interested in it

[@Bonnie_Mairead]

This man is incredible, he totally admitted to how depressed he was, but he actually did something about it. That is so commendable, because sometimes it is so hard to look in a mirror when you're depressed and reflect on yourself and get the motivation to make it better. That can be really hard. I love how he's also doing it with his family, because that means he actually enjoys it, he's having fun, and living happy. I love that. Good luck man, I'm so proud of you!!!

[@KatieDeGo]

My husband used to weigh 400+. He is down to ~280 by quitting drinking, no soda, portion control, and fast food only 2x a week. Im so proud of him ❤

[@djsaintmusic7819]

Tell him I said he’s awesome. Proud of him too!

[@KatieDeGo]

@@djsaintmusic7819 just saw this message! Will tell him when he's home from work. Thanks so much 💓

[@HappyinJapan358]

Fast food twice a week is still considered a “heavy user” by the fast food industry. Go for once a week, or once in 2 weeks.

[@gloriabeckley7464]

I think he is the most mentality healthy and mature patient ever on the show.

[@annemarie19553]

Gloria, I totally agree!!! Personal responsibility, and personal INSIGHT is absolutely KEY to making changes in one's life!!! Inspiring!!!

[@rayvnse2483]

I don’t comment ever. This guy deserves a award for his hard work! That’s amazing discipline and it should be respected. He shouldn’t change his program even if Dr Now says so, he should do what works for him!

[@nattcattt]

I think a key factor here is not just Chris’ incredible outlook, determination, and attitude, but his supportive family. The whole family joined in to make changes and that in itself is a massive help. Not going through that alone can be the difference between making it and not making it

[@SUL-2000]

True!

[@DonaldMeyers-v8c]

Boy this cat has it together. Fasting. Health. Short and long term goals. He's got a bright bright future!

[@candienewton8463]

I'm so proud of him for focusing on his health and losing all that weight! Congratulations 🎉🎉🎉🎉

Zero excuses, just hard work and determination. Respect.

He’s got to be the most positive person I’ve seen on the show with no excuses ! Love him/ mum and brothers journey!

[@zakugirl]

Holy shit this guy is the GOAT, he's so inspiriing for anyone struggling with depression!

[@leriahslife341]

He's genuine about loosing the weight and is clearly not doing this for the 10 seconds of fame he'll get from it. He has a lot of my respect

[@jb6712]

LOSING, not "loosing"!

[@LincolnNewell-ez1jz]

@@jb6712 Everyone knew what OP meant. Your reply did not assist anyone, people know what a typo or a mistake is. Context clues allow us to see past the existence of the spare vowel, which is how you knew which word to give a weirdly emotional spelling lesson about. I also noticed the minor misspelling, I was not burdened or offended by it. But your reply makes me embarrassed to have read it. How did you type out an impression of the least popular teacher's aid at an elementary school, and feel confident enough to post it?

Mad respect for this guy. He is so focused on his goals and stays motivated. What an amazing man.

[@CelineMitchell]

Chris, you seem like an incredible person and what amazing willpower! You come across as very kind, determined and intelligent. Keep going - don't give it up! Before no time at all, you'll have achieved all your goals and more. I have never struggled with weight myself, but I find your story very inspiring and I will keep your resilience in mind when approaching my own goals in the future.

[@tashsutherland4195]

A real man. No excuses. Self aware. Had a plan. Going in the right direction. Being a man isn't about a 'position'. It's about the direction you're going in.

[@BillyLeeGoodman]

Oh I saw this episode! He was an amazing man who worked very hard! He did it with his family all together!

[@user-cn5wv6mf4g]

He doesn’t need surgery! He’s changed his way of thinking and he’ll do this on his own and keep it off! No surgery! No drugs! AWESOME job Chris! Keep up the great work! You look fabulous!!!

[@suzannekirkwood6392]

I hope the family continues to work together and they all reach their goals. Losing a large amount of weight results in extra skin so hopefully the only surgery they get is to remove the excess skin

[@jennamichelle2001]

What makes it even better is how it’s not just Chris working to lose weight, but also his mom and brother. Very wholesome and beautiful! ❤

[@islandmank]

This guy is on it. He's got goals, a plan to meet those goals, and he's willing to listen to Dr. Now to help save his life. You can tell from that alone that he's going to make it.

[@inolawilks9279]

I weighed 467 and I have lost almost 100 pounds🙌🏾🙌🏾 thank God

[@hunterjams541]

I’m 400 plus and looking to drop the weight I have dropped some but I really feel like my food and junk addiction progress is not where it needs to be I don’t understand why my brain is so damn stubborn haha

[@JacksonTerrier]

⁠@@hunterjams541as someone who was over 400, what helped me was making small increment changes. First switched to water, after a month, started cooking most of my meals, moving away from processed foods, as the weight started dropping, that motivated me more. Too many people decide to lose weight and stop all bad habits at once. Key is to substitute one bad habit for a good one at about once a month. Take one junk food away a month and replace it with a healthier choice. Keep at it and don’t give up on yourself. You got this and keep grinding!

[@mattgregoire4294]

It's people like this who make me smile and cheer for them when I see the focus, the positive frame of mind, and all around good character. You rock!

I just love this video. The whole family is joining in and supporting each other. And I really hope he doesn't need weigh loss surgery 🙏

[@KaltrinaDemiri]

I love how even his family joined him on this journey

[@BellefontePerson]

This kind of diet works. You still need carbs, but they should be complex. On September 20th my blood test came back. Doctor sent me a message saying I was pre-diabetic. Said to be cognizant of refined carbs and simple sugars. I now eat whole wheat bread instead of white, whole wheat pasta, and brown rice. I don't eat much of them though. I'll buy a loaf of 100% whole wheat bread and put it in the freezer. Take out a slice or two if I need it. I eat chicken meat every day. I buy frozen veggies, spinach, broccoli, brussels sprouts, etc. No more soda. I will occasionally have a little sugar in my coffee. Anyway, I was 244 pounds on September 20th. Today is December 8th and I weigh 223. This is without exercising. I just need to start walking and I'll be down below 200 in no time

[@1whitecottagelife770]

You GO! Walking is wonderful! If you can, try starting to lift some weights and build muscle, muscle burns calories even when you don't workout

[@Jay_and_Meeka]

Well done! My thoughts when Dr. Now said “no carbs” was that’s not right, we need carbs. I’m a T1 diabetic so carbs save my life sometimes!

[@jb6712]

🥱

[@twalk263]

I love how goal orientated this amazing human is. He is super refreshing to hear how much self reflection he has done prior to deciding to lose weight.

[@xxxx-qo9dh]

I really like this guy, such a respectful personality, kind and determined. Praying for him and his mom and brother ❤🙏🏻

[@susanneryding6064]

What a FANTASTIC guy. He really deserves the best life

[@sandrastout8507]

Watching Dr Now's face during this episode is priceless! I don't think his brain can process a legit patient in front of him😅

[@cindymcdonald6148]

Dr. Now is an expert, but his personality is SO flat. If I was his patient, he wouldnt motivate me at all. I felt bad for Chris not getting more positive feedback on his incredible accomplishments and goals!!

[@kingsarbkota]

Dr Now is probably so accustomed to the ones who whine, make excuses, and blame everyone else, that it throws him off his game when he gets someone who's serious about it and puts in the work without all the bs🤷‍♀️

[@Ready-ForTheEnd]

I think he's skeptical when he meets any of these people because alot of them have talked a good game for the cameras but they didn't follow through.

[@cherylsabol387]

Congratulations.. I truly hope he has a long & happy life..

6:46 *Gives a heartfelt, thoughtful speech about how he wants to change and his thought out plan to teach his goals.* Dr. Now: Alright, that’s good. 🤠

man this one is really refreshing. its nice to see somebody actually work their ass of to get to the point they want to be. this guy did a great job, i dont think he can get enough praise for that. he accepted that his choices led him there and he took accountability for those actions and did what he had to in order to get where he wanted to be. great job bro

This guy is very likable unlike most of the others I've seen here.

[@ChromeDestiny]

I was especially glad to see that his family joined him in trying to lose weight. There used to be a really good weight loss reality show called Ex Weighted and they always pointed out on that show that weight loss goes better if your family or partner supports you or joins in and if you have specific goals.

[@thethings4708]

This guy are FOCUS and MOTIVED as hell !! Proud of him and when he want accomplish somes goals in her life : HE CAN DO IT. GOOD JOB ! 👍

[@nick_herscom]

They have hundreds of hopeless cases on this show. This guy is the only true man out there. The rest just cry and make excuses while their family feeds a bed ridden monster.

[@kathydishner7691]

So refreshing to hear someone actually acknowledge that they were the cause of their obesity and THEY are determined to personally take " the bull by the horns" so refreshing ❤

[@JK20239]

Disagree with dr. Now. If there is a 98% failure rate with WLS, then obviously surgery is not the issue. Its the eating. Chris can continue eating and WLS wouldnt work but have to deal with the consequences of surgery. Chris understands that eating too much food is why hes 600+lbs.

[@pedrothevenard]

What the fuck are you talking about, weight loss surgery has the highest success rate in weight loss protocols by a landslide, it's almost 90% success if you are talking losing half the extra weight and keeping it off after 5 years or more , and over 70% success if you are talking getting down to over weight or normal weight from obese. Is however only recommended for extremely obese patients, because it is dangerous, but still, it isn't even close to any other method like changing habits or dieting and exercising, those methods are way healthier, but have a failure rate of over 90% after 5 years.

[@Tal88888]

There isn’t a 98% failure rate with WLS, that’s more like the rate for dieting.

[@ourtruth216]

Seeing him walk around at ease with so much confidence is amazing! 👏🏽 so happy for him.

[@nathanabbott7890]

This man is a true hero

[@joeyoest1105]

It’s almost like the Dr is disappointed that he won’t get to do a surgery. That’s really a shame. This guy is crushing it and motivating his whole family to get healthy - let him use the tools he wants to use.

[@lopopachope]

Hahaha I think they couldn’t understand Dr. Now when he first walked in 😂 they smiled and nodded politely to his “Hallooo!howarrryalldooiin??”

[@carriepurnell635]

Dude is prolonging his life with all the fasting. A lot of people(including a lot of doctors) don’t realize how incredibly healthy longer fasts are. 5 days is optimal.

[@UploadDesigns]

1.I've been fasting 14-16 hour a day since Jan. 2.stopped eating refined sugar . You only crave sugar if you eat sugar. 3.Also eat mostly whole foods nothing processed. Can't read it don't eat it. Down three dress sizes. 4. Move 30-60 min a day 5. Its my new lifestyle not diet. 6. I was at a crossroads and I chose the right path.

[@Johnsmythexyz]

So true about the sugar. No processed carbs at all. Stop the pasta, potato and fruit. You'll feel great.

[@Chiefgamer69]

you can see how Dr Now cares, he does take the rough approach to people who arent doing the right thing because thats his methods but he does care about them. and when someone does really well he smiles., he says he is proud of them. hes a great doctor and he really does want to help them. he knows his stuff haha

[@winniethepoohandeeyore2]

[@wakcedout]

His family is a support group to maintain losing weight. So even when he hits that weight loss wall, he has people near him to enable him to keep working to lose the weight. Honestly the best enablers are the ones that tell you not to give up on losing the weight.
