David Elmore Smith was 630 pounds when he met Chris Powell in June of 2003. They made a pact to show the nation that the human body can lose weight safely and naturally. Using alternating patterns of nutrition delivery, daily movement and new lifestyle patterns, David lost a remarkable 401 lbs in just over 2 years.

Divine Intervention, this is truely inspiring
wow, i just fell in love with Chris =o)
Dave, way to go man!
Cheers man
You’re an idiot.
If what you’re saying is true, then how come Chris stood by this guy all the way, provided him with not only a fitness program but emotional support, and on top of it all never charged him a dime?
wow I just watched this, It had my interest the whole way through. good stuff.
I am on hte opposite side of that spectrum I was a lean mean 250 lb bodybuilder and after hurting my back i gained 200 lbs and now at 450 lbs i am where he was I just can seem to pick myself up and move on.
do it the right way, dont cut calories alot. Read burn the fat feed the muscle, it helps alot! Prevents lose skin and loss of muscle mass during weight loss.
i am proud! he succeded!
he is a very nice man now!
Awesome.

I cried when i watched this… Just beautiful… Not only do you have a second chance at life you have a gem of a friend for a lifetime…
i can’t stop crying! 2 men who EPITOMIZE humanity!
Quite possibly the only time I will ever DELIGHT in seeing a good-looking young guy strike a ‘muscle man’ pose whilst sporting attire with a HUSTLER insignia on it! Both men are beautiful inside and out and their story is a touching gift of inspiration in so many ways, Bless them and their incredible friendship.
