    questo è un uomo da ammirare!quello che ha fatto è da esempio in tutto! non solo nel dimagrire, ma nel modo di vivere! tutti se vogliamo, con impegno possiamo cambiare vita, in qualsiasi cosa, basta solo un pò di forza di volontà…io ad esempio ho smesso di fumare, e molti dicono che è impossibile, non è vero, uno non ce la fa xchè non vuole farcela! basta solo impegnarsi, e quest’uomo è la prova di tutto…e senza stupidi interventi, non ci vogliono soldi, ma volontà…MITICO!

    Chris is basically trying to turn David into a douchebag. David isn’t Chris, this isn’t going to work. Chris is not a good person…that much is clear. He’s an opportunist.

    Wow, David’s story is so sad, but he turned out AMAZING. His looks match his personality. Chris and David just seem like such awesome friends. I almost cried while watching this when I saw it on TLC. But David is so gorgeous now!!

    Why do humans have to constantly put each other down and label each other. This is why the world is in the miserable state it is!!! Your comment is fun fuckn shallow jackass and yes I am fat tooo!!! He is just sharing his story a postive story at that!!!!! Grow up!!!! This fukn world with ppl like you in it would rather pay a sports star millions and prostitute our children instead and let others starve and yes now Im labelling you!!! SHALLOW!

  24. jackassextreme

    why do fat people that lose the weight that THEY gained get so much publicity? It’s really stupid, cuz It would be like me putting out a fire that I started and then writing a book about it, then be on Oprah and appear on a commercial for subway.

  25. kissygurl87

    well it’s not good to have all that lose skin so most insurance companies will cover it cause it can cause alot of other medical problems……the other stuff yep ur right all luxuries most of us really fat people dont get to have.
