imagine being a nurse/regular patient and seeing him get smaller and smaller with each visit
That'd be so wholesome, it's like you're accompanying them on their challenges and you're with them through their journey :)
Amazing
@Jordan Leston People like him inspire others, and that's always good.
Caregiver/nursing major here! Whenever I work with clients and try to get them more mobile again, I always get so excited to see them get stronger or more independent. Happiness doesn’t begin to explain the feeling you get when a patient is improving their quality of life.
It would be like a mother watching there child growing up
I noticed he didn’t use the disabled parking spot. Most people on this show do. Good for him
One brain cell left since you left this man such a nice comment you can have some of my brain cells 👌
Gummybear Stopmotion omg ty 😪
my friends mom is obese and she has one, sometimes she uses it sometimes she doesn't. shes losing weight ofc, but it all depends on the way their body is feeling
One brain cell left must be British like one brain cell as you didn't say handicap so yeah boy I thought I was the only English person
He might not be disabled not all disabilities are visible regardless of weight :)
Notice the difference between Justin and all the others on 600 lb Life? Hard work, dedication, discipline, no excuses, and actually works for a living. Great job. I wish him the best.
It's not fair to view everyone through the same lens. A lot of people on the show deal with mental illness!
You mean it wasn’t someone else’s fault??? No way!😮
Me too.
Well, there was that guy that was malnourished
these are the people i look up to. i have been skinny my whole life wishing i was heavier but when i see this guy i have mad respect for him and his hard work
This is the thing. Nobody at the gym is going to judge someone like this. We are all honored to witness a transformation like this. That’s the whole point!
In my experience, the "real" gym regulars never look down on anyone because of the current stage of their journey, but encourage you to move forward and share pride in your achievements.
It's usually the people that don't understand the struggle, that make sly comments, and honestly... nobody cares what they say!
@@AggroJordan86 Gym rats are the most wholesome creatures inhabiting this planet. You will nowhere else find a group of people with their level of understanding for hardship in life. Go up to any gym bro and ask politely for a finger, and they will give you their whole arm.
I wasn't even overweight when I started going to the gym and I still felt a little intimidated when I first started. It takes a lot of courage to be that obese and still go.
Unless it's a tiktok or instagram influencer
Well thats the problem there is always r*tarded people... At my gym we have a dude laughing and tauntin new gym goers complete re*ard
300 pounds in a YEAR... this man is amazing and deseveres so much praise.
That is some serious willpower and determination.
So happy for this guy
So happy for him
He is a man of focus, commitment and sheer fucking will
He's done so well. Amazing.
I think he is the only guy who doesn’t swear and get aggressive... he’s actually calm and collected
if you want to change your life like him . this is the secret. go science.leptitox.com/?hop=bluejohny

Maggie Wu There’s definitely a lot more like him from the show. Who aren’t mad and just genuinely want to get better and try to get better.
Maggie Wu yea, most of the people I see are yelling at their parents for fried chicken and a milkshake.
Gram_Zay Exactly! And I just saw a episode last week and the woman said she’s gonna have a cheat meal (and you know beginners still are in there habits so she ate ALOT) barely 2 weeks in!
Dumb comment
This dude killed it. I'm sitting here whining about the 30 lbs I need to lose, and this man has altered his life for the positive by losing hundreds of lbs. Proud of this guy for setting an example of what it takes to get your life back!
Hey, you can do it! I cheer on you dude. I might go for a run later, not because I want to (I hate running) but because I need to for my health.
YOU GOT THIS!!!
Yea remember, the heavier you are the quicker you lose weight, that may be why it’s a slower process for you
It’s easier for heavier folk… I need to lose 20 and I can barely even lose a pound a week.. feels like it’s taking forever
@@Giovanni_intheflesh That’s true, but Justin’s hundreds of pounds of loss in a year is a high bar, i wouldn’t consider yourself a failure for not losing a similar % of your weight because he’s doing it to save his life, he can’t afford to fail
"Not quite 100, but that's close enough" see, that's the thing about Dr Now. Even though he didn't hit the mark, he can see the dedication and change and knows that the surgery is going to work because Justin has committed to the entire process.
Totally. He wants to see measurable progress but he also wants to see the right attitude and commitment to the hard work, and Justin clearly had that. Even if 100 pounds or more were a strict requirement to approve for the surgery, Dr. Now would have given him a couple of more weeks to hit that mark.
92 pounds in 2 months is crazy!
Finally, they found a serious guy who's about that life, respect.
Yes it is refreshing! But what we as viewers should realize is that humans are creatures of habits, and the habit becoming so strong that it pushes you to over 600 pounds is extraordinarily hard to break. So imo its rare to find someone who can actually change their habit, which is probably why we dont see so many people going gungho on the diet and exercise
What do you mean “about that life”?
Absolutely! I'm happy for him
@@morganvonbogel9145 Probably as in somebody who is actually dedicated to making lifestyle changes unlike most other contestants on this show.
@@morganvonbogel9145 It's an empty ghettoism with no real meaning other than to imply that someone is serious. Disregard it.
If you make fun of someone who is trying to better themselves, maybe you should look back at your own life.
Those kind of people are incapable of self-reflection.
I can tell you when we see people who are trying to better themselves at my gym, people always pitch in to either help or give advice. I hope their aren't people actually out there disrespecting others in a damn gym...
@@eternalblessing4984 There are, because there's rotten people everywhere.
Me being made fun by other's are the reason why I will never set foot in a gym again, and I'll stick with cycling and home workouts...I'm saving money as well.
Yes burn them steve
Fat people are funny, it is what it is. I appreciate that they're trying to better themselves, I support that, but it doesn't mean you can't make a couple jokes with the boys
This guy is the complete polar opposite of most people on this show. He's polite to the Dr (yes sir), he doesn't feel sorry for himself to the point of not working hard and most importantly, gets over the hurdle of feeling uncomfortable at the gym in public. Very happy for him and I know he's going to be a success story.
If you've seen him today he's at a completely normal weight now. Probably the most successful patient on this show.
This guy acts like an actual adult and not like a grown up child like 90% of the other people on this show. And his voice is so softening and nice!
The Verdict you’re welcome to all, i’m the 600th like
The Verdict he’s probably one of my favorite people to be on the show. He seems like a gentle soul, and it makes me very happy.
Ms Maybe your right. This guy is so great because he seemed to be the most determined out of everybody which is also what makes him so great.
It's damn near impossible to grow up mentally if you never leave the house except to buy food. Someone in that situation has no contact with other human beings besides close family. Your mind cannot comprehend other people and that pretty much leaves them in a state of mental underdevelopment.
Agreed
Even when Dr Now is “astonished” he still looks depressed😂
Regina Philange he’s a Raymond Holt, a man full of emotions.
He is a workaholic, ultimately depressed with NO LIFE, I actually witnessed him as looking somewhat happy to see his results.
Maybe he needs to gain 10lb.
He probably wishes he fulfilled his dream of being a dancer.
YES😂😂😂😂💀 his facial expressions never change
Man, when he said he should be at least 406 pounds and the scale said 395, I broke into the biggest smile for him 🥺🥺🥰🥰🥰
Us both!!!! 🏋️♀️🏋️♀️🏋️♀️🏋️♀️
Man his dad was very supportive when he was down to 395, the fact that his face was in disbelief and said “You are killing it” really does inspire people especially his son
And then he said, "Let's lose more weight."
This dude is like best guy on this show. He’s honest, and actual adult, and eats healthy. Not to mention his voice
Damn... 8.8k
L.B.Bonner was good but he passed away it was sad he apparently killed himself tho
@@mrswhite8040 waittt really??
Ikr
Okay do not lie to yourself , we all personally know someone this man reminds us of and that’s why we’re so connected with him, his role is so accepted by us even though he doesn’t know it, this man kicked ass and worked hard. May blessing fulfill this mans destiny
AND HE HAS A DOG
I think this is actually the 1ST person I’ve seen on this show that actually has took the initiative to go to the gym by themselves and actually put in work to lose weight. Shout out to him!!!!!
What is Okibetonic Secrets? Does it work? I hear many people lost their weight with this popular fat burn method.
Keep up the good work
In most cases they go back to be checked and they give endless excuses why they didn’t stick to the diet program.
one of the very few but sometimes lives are saved
Has taken ...not has took....
As a fellow gymrat if I saw you at my gym I'd smile and maybe cry cause in the gym community nothing is more amazing than seeing someone deciding to better their health. Whether it's mental or physical.
I dont understand the gym bro douchebag stereotype... Gym rats are the people with the most hardship in life and this makes them empathic to everyone in a similar situation.
Amen to that.
@@MauriceAlBetarfor a very short time period in the early 2000's it was a somewhat valid stereotype. Very short lived and somehow stuck
Justin was a huge inspiration for my weight loss, this came out when I was a sophomore and weighed almost 200 pounds, I saw that he was making small but impactful decisions that helped him lose weight, thanks to his inspiration I’m now 18 almost 19 and only 145 pounds
this is exactly why I always say personal example matters a lot...so many people can be inspired by others to completely change their lives for the better...
Congrats man, keep it up!
I am so proud of you for changing your lifestyle while you are young! I'm 26 and regret waiting this long. Awesome job!
This guy just really seems like a genuine person. He doesn't whine or complain. He's just so hardcore for change. I love seeing people like this
@mic mccoy gay. You're gay
cheese grater who says i am geh
Yeah, try acting like that if you are a fresh graduate from residency, are 300K in debt, own your own practice (with more money in the hole), and with the beloved google reviews. Just a few bad reviews can ruin your business. This doc is probably older and has made his money. He can act like that if he wants and has a TV show that rewards him to be like that.
That's what I loved about that guy
First step is admitting you have a problem
There's something heartwarming hearing a no bullshit personality like Dr. Now giving you support an authentic smile and praise... This guy earned it
i basically texted the same thing to someone aaand no reply... lol i've never felt so understood, thank you kind sir/maam lol
It's like Gordon Ramsay actually liking food you make him: enough to make anyone feel proud!
It's amazing what you can accomplish when you're truly ready for a change! Justin deserves all that praise from Dr. Now and more! He did a lot of hard work!
@@heatherc.5834 Haha so true!
Seeing his dad having to hold back tears of Joy and pride was amazing. This dude is awesome
That made me cry!
Guy is inspirational. No entitlement, no excuses... just discipline, determination, humility and honesty.
This dudes a beast. Instead of being lazy or blaming someone else, he’s honest with himself and works hard to achieve his goals.
Those who accept responsibility are more likely to succeed in life.
check his instagram, mcswainj2 HE LOOKS SO GOOD
@@IaintStoopid Good to see he is keeping up with a healthy lifestyle especially considering quarantine and all is making it worse for his mental health.
Inspirational for sure! He looks so happy and active on his social media too:)
*tammy in the corner* 👁👄👁
When he says “I tried as hard as I can” I actually believe him. Eat less and move more...that’s it!
It's not about eating less, it's about thinking what is in your food.
@@breckr1121 eating less calories doesn't necessarily mean eating less volume. But in these extreme cases, you'll have to eat as little as possible. You don't have time for more
@Chris E. Thats not the case for everyone.
@Chris E. Ok Mr. Bariatrician, did you know eating less restricts you from getting the required vitamins and minerals leading to various problems in the body? Eating less can cause various health problems (fatigue, gout, constipation, diarrhoea, nausea, anaemia, loss of lean muscle mass) and other imbalances.
Go ahead and explain why Im wrong since you know a lot about losing weight.
@Chris E. Unless you want to look like a stick then go ahead and starve yourself.
As a frequent gym-goer, I wish people who were self conscious about being in a gym knew that they have nothing to be embarrassed about no matter how they look. The simple fact you’re in there trying to better yourself is what is going to get you all the respect. We all have our own fitness journey, and we all started those journeys at some point too
I’m so proud of him. He did so good. I genuinely started crying him when he went in for his progress when he hit 395
This guy sounds like such a kind-hearted human being.
More like seven human beings you know what I'm saying
King of the Castle that do be fucked up tho
yes i can tell he is kind hearted
Donkey Teeth huh? wtf?
@Donkey Teeth WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN MY SWAMP?
I have mad respect for every fat person that shows up at the gym.
That’s kind of a rude way to put it
Asim Washington who gives a fuck?
Its true isnt it? Fat people are fat why pussy foot around it
Same. I would never make fun of fat people going to the gym because kudos to them for trying to improve their life! Even if it's just baby steps. I'm not chubby myself but I've never felt better until I started going to the gym regularly.
@@asim8946 fat is a description doesn't mean its an insult
@@asim8946 There is at times value in using harsh words to describe harsh truths
2:02 the voice of a father left speechless by his sons incredible progress. Anyone who is willing to put in the effort to improve like this would feel just as proud of themselves.
i cried when i saw he lost so many pounds. so proud of him because he worked so hard for that
When the dad said "ok, let's go lose some more weight" after hearing Justin already lost 292 pounds was so uplifting and refreshing to hear. Usually the person accompanying enables and would celebrate by cheating or fast food, but his dad encourages him to keep going and that the journey is not yet over. So refreshing from the other episodes; mad respect.
I feel something people forget about watching this show is how much support from a friend or family member(s) helps the person. I like watching this because it makes me happy to see someone succeed in life.

A positive influence can make a night and day difference.
Yeah, it seems like both his parents are very supportive of him. His mom going to the appointments with him too and that she is going to move to TX with him. It is so nice to see supportive people in his life instead of the enablers and negative people that try to tear down progress.
See I would’ve taken him out for frozen yogurt. I’m terrible 🤣
I like the fact that even though he didn’t initially reach his goal of 100lbs weight loss he was still proud of himself. I think people forget to praise themselves for losing the weight, plus he was only a few pounds off
and he worked out a lot, my bet is that he lost the 100lbs of fat but gained a few lbs in muscle mass
Jan-Willem Lammers can’t gain muscle mass that easy
Weight loss is nothing to take pride in. I've lose about 35kg and that was ne undoing my mistakes, it was not an achievement.
@@dahalofreeek if you keep it off I don’t see why you can’t be proud of it
@@butterb7925 He worked out for 10 MONTHS! Of course he gained at least a few lbs of muscle mass.
Look, i couldn't care less about how much someone weighs, but he's getting healthier, and let's be real, that face at 5:52 is a face of true happiness.
I'm sure this is a rose colored summary of his progress and there must have been hard moments too, my man has more willpower than me, Proud of you Justin!
7:06 - Doc gets the slightest, cheekiest little smile.
While I feel happy for Justin and all. Anyone else feeling a bit happy for Dr. Now too? Just in the sense that he has a patient who’s actually working with him rather than smuggling pizza in their arse crafk
Yes i agree!!!!
LMAO SMUGGLING PIZZA IN THEIR ARSE CRACK 😭😭
Yup
ok fuck I’m dead
yeah he said it in the video that this was his best patient, that's crazy because the Doc has been in the business for a long time.
Making fun of a fat person at a gym is like making fun of a cancer patient with a chemotherapy drip in their arm
Jake Beck I cant imagine being someone who complains about the obesity epidemic while simultaneously making fun of big people at the gym
YES! This.
@zondaintheair Fuck you.
Well said, Jake.
@@rebelpython sounds mean but it's true. Cancer patients can't control that they get cancer
Dr. Now: "one of the most determined and most hard work weight-loss patient I have ever had." -And that's coming from a guy who has literally seen thousands of patients throughout the decades. THAT means something!
If Justin ever sees this I want him to know he’s doing incredibly good and everyone at the gym is in awe of how far he has come!!! You are amazing and doing great!!
I hope he knows that everyone In the gym that sees him grinding every week are probably proud of him
Laughing at a fat guy for being at a gym is like laughing at a guy that went to medical school cause he wanted to become a doctor.

Dude act likes a actual adult and doesn’t lie about his diet. He wants to get better and works for it. He looks super healthy on his Instagram
👌
@EvilAsh110 your comment is why people are self conscious and doubts themselves. This man literally looked really good on this last visit yet you had low expectations. Very rude to say.
@@jacobasnodgrass5853 I agree. He reminds me of the type people who would judge overweight people at the gym. It’s so toxic and it makes people self conscious
whats his IG ??
@@tayonal.7830 McSwainJ2 He's looking great over there!
I just hope this young man realizes how many people that he has helped by doing things the right way...Im sure countless people all around the world doubted if they could do this until they watched Justin...No complaining, no feeling sorry for himself, and no excuses whatsoever...I love it!!!
Omg the way his face shines as he gets healthier is incredible! Most beautiful sight ever.
Ok lowkey, this guy gotta do audiobooks or like narration for children’s shows, his voice is fantastic
Not really
He rest does
Totally!

This guy's voice is making me feel like I'm listening to a voiceover in an indie video game...
The Mumbling Dumpling Lmfaooooo, why is this description so perfect?
omg hella accurate
lolz yeah its pretty good it realy is like a game it also reminds me as if your reading his mind :D
Accurate af 💯
Such an especific description lol
It's always amazing to see someone say "I'm proud of you" & see that person just glow with happiness.
Love how proud everyone is of this guy, he deserves full recognition for his journey
My god his voice could be like a voice for a audiobook or like a voice over in a movie
He has a smooth voice if that makes sense
Who, Dr. Now?
Yeah I like his voice too it's so smooth .
It's peacefull I like it
Dr. Now? He legit sounds like Droopy ngl
Impressing Dr Now must be the best feeling ever
It's not easy to have those words come out of that Drs mouth!!! So I can imagine the feeling!!
And that is a very tough daunting feat..Justin deserves this new lease on life
Right?! I clicked on this video like “Dr.Now impressed??”
ITS😍GOTTA BE!!!!
@@ANWEclecticTaste same! Haha I'm so happy I clicked
Justin is a pretty inspiring person. His transformation in this was incredible.
When the told him his weight, you can see the confidence and happiness he's feeling. Good on him
Justin is going to succeed because he doesn't fool himself and make excuses. You got this Justin!
Yeah Justin you got this.
he doesn't fool himself? he fooled himself into becoming 600lbs
Weight loss is caused by diseases. So is weight gain. It seems that torturing fat people with impossible goals is just too much fun for lazy, sadist doctors to actually treat CAUSES like hypothyroidism or insulin resistance. Starvation diets are nonsense. It's hard enough losing the weight, but the REAL problem is keeping it off. Only 1% of people keep the weight off, and almost all of them have developed anorexia, a deadly disease CAUSED by starvation diets.
@@robinlillian9471 hypothyroidism does not make people 600 pounds lol.
@@robinlillian9471 sounds like u pulled that out of ur ass
I’m so proud of him. Most people on this show make excuse after excuse and lack any will power to do anything. I’m so glad he’s doing well
lol proud of what? of not eating like a f pig? that's something people has to do and doesn't deserve praise. Trust me I've been way overweight too
@@JT-xj1pg Yes, we should be proud of people when they change their life for the better, even when that change is from abnormal to normal.

Rachel week done to Him! I’d like to lose 2 stone and that’s tough going!🙂
me too, I wish him long term success!
I have nothing but respect for this guy. Wanting to change his life and actually working towards it. Not blaming anyone, just pure dedication. Mad props
He died in 2019
This guy is so refreshing to watch after seeing many other patients of Dr. Now. He's so genuine.
The specific fact that he ordered ice water made me ecstatic
what a king
Hydro homie 💦
Dakota Jay facts
His dad is the most dad looking dad
lol probably. idk my dad left to get cigarettes at the gas station 17 years ago
@A.C Chissano 8c and my dad too, he went to get some beer at the gas station 15 years ago.
Must of been a long line at the gas station
@@2verysnowyyy I’m still standing in line
It’s like he was told to dress as the character of ‘dad’ x
You can tell he's a great person, he really wants to improve himself. Such a breath of fresh air for this show.
These stories of triumph help so many people. There are people who don’t believe they can lose weight. His perseverance is what people need to see. Great job Justin!!
To anyone else who got curious like me: Justin lost all of the remaining weight and is enjoying life to the fullest, it seems. So happy for the guy.
He got an Instagram??
@@ose0263 yes he does!
@@sissezoutman3798 then share it, damn it
That's awesome. Whenever I watch this show, I always hope for the best and I'm relieved/excited when they keep fighting and succeed. Ultimately, I want them all to get better and live longer, healthier lives.
Mcswainj2
can we talk about how Dr. Now has a bedazzled stethoscope
Sabrina Scotti HAHHAHH OMFG
Im deeeeeaaaad hahahaha 💀💀💀💀
Because he is the KING
(you can see it at 6:45 )
Respect the drip
It's excellent to see how this guy just goes for it. No excuses, no compromise, does the grind and exceeds the goal. Hope he's just as successful with his emotional problems.
I’ve watched a lot of episodes of this show. Some people are just pieces of shit, while others like him are genuine good people who just let themselves go. Always happy to see these success stories and seeing people turn their lives around.
Justin’s parents should be so incredibly proud of him they have raised such a kind and gentle soul. All the best for your future mate!
Alex K they also raised and enabled him into obesity soo...
David Winters BUT HES FIXING IT! Everyone makes mistakes but to reverse that mistake is very admirable you crusty POS
@@Boringunguy true that but atleast he didnt grow up like you 🤣
I Think I can very true. I grew up, he grew out haha. Your ability to insult is worse than his ability to walk.
@@Boringunguy lol I dont want to insult man to tine for that your just a negative person you gotta live your life like that not me
This dude legit faced ALL of his fears at once. The mad lad is so brave.
The word bravery is thrown around so loosely nowadays but this man showed true bravery by stepping out if his comfort zone, he stayed focused on tackling a problem he has to do on his own. Facing your fears is hard and scary, I'm very proud of him.
This guy is a real motivational man. I appreciate the hard you put in. Nothing but respect.
I’m so proud of this guy. He’s doing such a great job and the amount of effort and intent that it takes to do what’s he’s doing - it’s inspiring.
I'm just 16 pounds overweight, not even obese, and still to anxious to go to a public gym. This man is my god.
Fr. I'm really scrawny rn and I'm just trying to do some bodyweight excercises and tryna gain healthy weight but I'm afraid of my family seeing me excercising so I just excercise at night then go to sleep after finishing my workouts. This guy is working outside in the daylight not giving a single fuck about anyone. This guy inspired me to be more confident
NoClip34 exactly. That man is a legend. I’m still afraid to work out in front of people and I’m only 134 pounds
I gained a bit of weight, I’m trying to get to 53kg yep this guy is motivation
I need to gain weight lol I lost a lot cause I got a weird sickness
I’m no longer overweight but I can fall back into the overweight category if I don’t get my BMI lower than 24 and I feel nervous going to the gym
Being embarrassed to be overweight at a gym is like being embarrassed to be sick when you’re in a hospital
I really wish people wouldn't feel that way. I've been a regular gym goer for a long time and I can tell you up and down that most people there are more inclined to be helpful than to rubbish someone for trying to lose weight, especially someone like Justin who is obviously struggling. If he came into my gym he'd probably have half the guys there offering to train with him.
@@jjm152 While I'm sure that would be the case (I would certainly do the same if I saw him at the gym!), to the overweight person they likely just feel so different from 99% of the people there. Looking that different and having others' eyes on you, even without bad intentions, probably does a number on your mental perception of the gym/outside world. Unfortunately it's a feeling that might only be dispelled by getting over it and going to the gym like Justin did.
It's not the same our trainer make fun of people I use to weigh at 154lb he told me to fast or stop eating I did right now I am 110lb you will feel embarrassed when people or your trainer make fun of you. Specially Infront of alot of strangers
Unfortunately there are a lot of judgemental people who go to gyms. They tell overweight people they need to workout and go to the gym, but when that person actually does go to the gym they get stared at and people will act like the person who is trying to lose weight-doesn't belong there. I personally go to the Y, so people are a little less likely to act like that. But I'm sure private-owned gyms are definitely different
Let’s not forget that model who took the picture of that lady in the locker room so she could make fun of her and post it on IG
The ONLY patient that I love! His genuine, humble and sweet! And so passionate. He didn't blame anyone, he did it on his own didn't rely on anyone! God bless him! I've seen this many time and I always go back to it because it puts a smile on my face!!
Justin is my boy bro. This dude has heart.
I love how his mom helped him find a private gym to make him more comfortable. On top of that, moving her life down to Houston to help him out even more. It’s the support that really helps. I am incredibly impressed with his story.
Watched this episode and she for some reason couldn't move down to Houston to be a support system for him like that, so his dad made the move. And when watching the episode, you see that she's the main reason for his weight gain. Not being there for him as a child and always letting him down.
Ashely 000 interesting, but the past is the past. Everyone makes mistakes you have to forgive
@@speakingfacts3931 There is a difference between mistakes and abuse. If letting go of the past was so easy, he wouldn't have gained so much in the first place.
Speaking Facts no. You don’t have to forgive.
Ashely 000 Yeah I watched it too. I was really happy his father stepped up when his mom couldn’t.
This guy is the ideal patient. Hes determined and actually cares unlike Dr. Nows other patients.
The last episode shown in America was a waste of time and frustrating to watch. I imagine that was how Dr. Now felt having that woman as a patient.
well listen, you dont get to 300 400 500 600 lbs eating because you're a well adjusted happy person. these people have serious underlying issues & of course, until that is resolved, the eating disorder is just going to still be there. its not like us, who may gain 5 lbs over the holidays & then cut out all carbs & spend an extra 1/2 hr working out a day until we've lost it.
Alexandra nyc right but they’re still responsible for their results and shouldn’t waste the Dr and their own time and resources if they’re not gonna commit. That’s what’s frustrating
@@poopturdy5914 they want to make a change. They're just not ready for what it means. I've done the same. I mean, not that big. But you want something but when your mind is not there. It's lile taking away the Only thing that makes you happy

Yesss, like, damn near 300 pounds and it's fucking ridiculous how damn AWESOME that shit is ♥️👌🏾
@@caity9244 Yeah, sweet and kind comments aren't seen that often on videos like these :/
@@D0NCH33T0 So true! People kind of suck. LoL
One thing I wanna drop here: as a self-proclaimed gym rat, I really want anyone who is going through something similar to what Justin is to know that if you come into the gym, you're not gonna get anything other than support from even the hardcore bodybuilders. The way we see it, you get a lot of respect from us if you are actively trying to better your life, and i, for the record, would be absolutely honored to help anybody in this situation through their routines
Amen
Try saying that about UK gyms...
@@samhilton4173 maybe if youre at a pure gym or a commercial one but usually the most hardcore bodybuilding ones will treat you no different than any other gym member and are usually very supportive.
Definitely not true, you get disgusted stares alot, especially from women. At least that was my experience in a Canadian gym.
I needed to hear that.
I was in the military and always been fit, but every time I see someone like him in the gym. I tell myself: I want to be dedicated like this guy and I’m proud of him 💪🏼
I am 150lbs and this dude lost my entire mass that's fucking insane, mad respect.
Way more than that. He was down almost 300 lbs at the end of this video. He's at a normal weight now.
@Charlotte Lokinu shut up
1911forever You sweet talker you!
@Charlotte Lokinu shut up
@Charlotte Lokinu nobody asked shut up
Honestly, this guy didn’t even need the surgery. He could do it all on his own. He’s determined and he takes it seriously
Tho the surgery would help just incase he relapses or something...he can also get skin removal surgery
Ellie x true. Very true.
@@elliex4136 good point
yeah the surgery is mostly to undo what the body naturaly accounts for when someone is so overweight.
The surgery is more to prevent them from regaining and a lot of times the stomach is permanently stretched too big from years of overeating and no matter how little you eat your stomach will never be able to shrink down to a normal persons size after chronic overeating like that. This surgery gives the stomach a chance to reset in size and also paves the way to potentially get insurance to cover skin removal when needed.
Long term he may have been okay considering how supportive of a system he had but he had would have had to eat a lot more filler foods (tons of vegetables) just to satisfy him and make him be able to feel somewhat full like a personal with a normal sized stomach. He would be at a way higher chance of relapsing just do to his sheer stomach size.
This guy is so likable and humble ❤️ I would be his friend his dad looks so proud I hope he’s doing good he deserves it
Just magnificent! Dr Nows smile at his success was just fantastic too 😊
I want him to do narrations for nature shows. This is the chillest guy who’s ever been on this show
I agree with you 💯 His voice is so calming. I think he would be great on a late night radio show as well. Amazing voice 💙
He also sounds comfortable with his life and what he wants to do even though he is talking about his anxiety
Moist Becky I was like no way this guy sounds like that
Got you to 1k.
Blind Boy Music Thank you Blind Boi! I didn’t realize this comment was even popular until now!
Dr Now to most people on this show: "You need to start taking this seriously or we can't give you the surgery."
Dr Now to Justin: "You're losing so much weight we have to schedule you to get skin removed."
Zach Gates Dr Now needs some more lampshades, it sounds like
@@GeddyRC haha! That's a weird ass comment
@@GeddyRC tf
@@emilsvahn5400 your mind hasn't been tainted yet...
chelleshock i don’t get the comment either?
This guy deserves this and more. The most humble human I've seen on this show!~ KEEP IT UP MAN!
Aww i love how thankful this guy is towards everyone helping him!! What a great soul!!
Noticed how he and his dad stood up to shake hands with Dr. Now. Respect. Don’t see that often.
I noticed that too! I am 70, I approach a door at the gas station. There are people (young people) coming up behind me. I grab the door and pull it open... THEN THE YOUNG PEOPLE COME AROUND AND GO IN AHEAD OF ME. WTH??? Do i look like a doorman or what? They never said "excuse me or thank you"! I could slap their Mothers for not teaching them RESPECT! YEAH, and I have to park in the Handicap space, my heart... Entitled no caring Brats! Unbelievable
@@kathysiebert6654 have you considered that it might look like you're holding the door open for them? Obviously they should say thank you, but holy shit. This whole comment is a big fat fucking yikes. Imagine someone being rude to you and thinking "I should slap your mother" (not to mention blaming ONLY the mother and not the father who is also presumably a parent)
Boomers are a different species i swear.
@@embracethenight1383 Yes, we are different! "From the Old School". If the people behind me thought a 50+ year their senior .. was a doorman...ahhhh, nope! They shouldn't have gone around me. I was first, I opened the door for myself. My sons are 47 & 45. They ALWAYS open the door, hold it open and wait for their seniors. It's called Respect. They were taught that in kindergarten. Also, ladies first, stay to the right, tell the truth no matter what. A lie just makes punishment worse. We believe in Order: God, Country, Family. Anyhoo... those people never even said thank you. Yeah, I still wanna slap their Moms.. (or Dads). Next time I'll let the door hit them in the Ass! For real... besides, I park in Handicapped space, had heart surgery, some doors are heavy to open. Nuff said
@@kathysiebert6654 Ah yes, because kids automatically know that you parked handicap and had surgery. I'm assuming you're not wearing a sign for both. I hate to break it to you Guy, but kids these days aren't mind readers. They see someone opening a door from the back and assume that the door is being held for them, because we hold doors open for people. Baby boomers will whine and cry that the new generation is a bunch of sensitive snowflakes, but you're the one crying and wanting to hit people because their kids didn't say "thank you"
A lot of people from down south. Are still raised to respect
When he was ordering the food, and he said “grilled nuggets and an ice water” I 🥺🥺🥺 sir, you are a hero amongst men. 🧡
but he ordered 24 of them....
He was also at an extremely high weight and working out. He was still doing it right. His body cannot live off of just his fat - it’s bad for the heart.
@@woleigequ yes but its still a big start for him, something they recommend on big weight loss journeys like this is to slowly move down the amount you eat instead of going cold Turkey. Its easier on the person trying to lose weight so that they dont end up binging again. These things are a process and 24 grilled nuggets and an ice water is a HUGE improvement from what he was probably eating beforehand.
Y’all, he ordered grilled chicken, from a fast food chain. He easily could’ve order fried food and gave into it so easily. He did his best
That really got me cuz I was starting to like him and then he was in a drive thru and I was like "oh no" but then when he ordered I was like :)
what an inspiration 🙌🏼 goes to show that attitude and co operation really makes a huge difference.
Dude ur one of the people that makes this show worth watching. You are on the track to succeed! Dont let anything stop u now
This guy has a wonderful voice. Could possibly make a career out of it.
He could narrate audio books
SkimmerVideoz it’s probably a voice actor
animated Disney characters?
bliztix you can tell when he’s ordering that it’s his voice. I thought so at first too.
I don't know... I think his voice is a bit raspy... maybe he should stick at being a doctor.
I bet he’s Dr. Now’s favorite patient. He took everything he said super serious and did everything he is supposed to do.
without a doubt he is. If everyone listened to their doctors we'd all be healthy. I'm guilty of it myself.
Look up Brandon, dude was a beast
Doctors are not all great like Now ... I have a real issue because I was put on painkillers for a long time and never was told that i would become dependent on it and didn't realize that I was messing up my whole life because of a prescription drug. I was young and the doctors did say anything. Now I make sure to look up anything they prescribe. I try not to take anything. CV
nah his favorite patient is without a doubt Steven Assanti
@@vlz.matthew lol 😂🤣😆
hes the only one on this channel who actually is self aware and genuine and hardworking
How amazing is it that people around the world can be so proud of this young man?! I hope you are doing well, Justin!
Bit late I know but does anyone else find this mans voice oddly soothing? Like liquid gold.
I do :)
I think he could make a living doing voice overs.
I am proud of him.
everyone seems to except me
Yes
Liquid gold? Are you a gay?
His father said “You’re killing it!” Nice support dad😁😁😁
I love that
I loved seeing and hearing that his parents are so supportive of his journey. No wasting time blaming him for his past and his food addiction just being strong supporters.
@King Dru Yeah you can lose 30 pounds and still be fat.
I teared up with pure pride for a complete stranger, that is incredible dedication.
Justin is a beauty. We need to protect this man and encourage all his amazing accomplishments!
Another update in the comments: This guy went rock climbing 2 days ago and is at a healthy weight. Super inspiring! Proud of this dude.
He makes me wanna be better
Please... keep the updates coming if you can!
@@Mimi-cq4bg He lost alot more weight and ended up getting excess skin removal. Now he is working to become a pilot.
