- If it hadn't been for a car crash at 3 a.m. on spring night in 2008, Jordan Grahm might not be alive. Over 400 pounds & squeezed into a 5XL, Jordan was on the road towards eating himself to death.

Growing up, Jordan was always big and the subject of teasing from other children. "Kids can be cruel," he says. "I was subject to ridicule and bullying, which caused me to develop a very defensive and protective state of mind."
When Jordan was in the ninth grade, his parents divorced. He blamed himself, and his weight soared. It wasn't until he became a football lineman that his 5-foot-9, 290-pound frame was put to good use. Then, tragedy struck.
"When I was 14, my mom suddenly passed away," he says. "I'll never forget the moment I heard the news. I was in complete shock." The search for "Why?" provided no answers and drove Jordan further into despair.
"Food became my outlet-my coping mechanism for dealing with my depression," he says. "I didn't care about my future." By the end of his senior year of high school, Jordan weighed 400 pounds.
He doesn't know how heavy he became, because after graduation, he stopped tracking his weight. "Doctors told me I would die young from obesity-related complications; I told them, 'If that happens, then so be it,'" he says.
It wasn't until after his accident that Jordan had a change of heart.
Why Was Your Accident A Wake-Up Call?
On March 30, 2008, I was in a car collision, and it took five guys to lift me up on the stretcher. The next day, I went for an MRI and barely fit inside the machine. They almost had to send me to a special version that is bigger than normal. That day, I decided that I'd had enough. I decided I had to change the way I lived and ate, and I started exercising. I decided I was worth the hard work and dedication that it would take to improve my future.
No matter how hard it would become, I vowed never to give up. I realized there was no room for excuses, self-pity, or fear. The pain of what had to be done could never match the pain I felt from the way I was living.
What Were The First Steps You Took To Transform Your Life?
I started out walking my little Boston terrier, Blackberry. It took me an hour to walk her one mile-down and back up a hill. After that mile, everything hurt. I felt so uncomfortable. But I stuck with it, and we were eventually running 4 miles a day six days a week. When I thought about quitting back then, I knew I had to do this not only for myself, but for my dog, too!
I lost 100 pounds just from walking. While on vacation in Las Vegas, I ventured into the hotel gym. I got to work, hoping that nobody would be around. Soon after, a few folks joined in. Instead of laughing at me and reacting the way I thought they would, they encouraged me.
When I got home, I joined a local gym. If people thought I was out of place or had negative thoughts, that would be their problem. I had to push myself out of my comfort zone for my own good.

I can't even imagine the pain of losing my mom. I'm so sorry.
It is really painful
It’s awful
Its gonna happen.
I lost my mother a year ago , hardest thing that happened in my life ,
I lost my mom this year. I’m 17 years old..
"oh yeah... kids suck" truth bro. alot of my issues came from school
All of them
He's right.Kids suck
Michael Morris yea man ppl are shitty. Hopefully u can find a good group of guys to have ur back. My little bros get picked on and I’m a bigger guy so I didn’t get fucked with as much. I actually stopped the bullying and abuse a bit back in high school. It’s not cool to pick on people. I was abused as a child by my father so I didn’t take people abusing eachother well. Have eachothers backs and stop the bully’s now matter how big they are.
Oh man i was the one making you guys feel like crap now im a ceo of a fitness regime
same! even as an adult i get abuse from other people for being bigger.
Seriously, a man is telling his personal story and how he overcame and people downvoted this???
Some people have a irrational fear of fat people it’s fucked up
The sooner you realize that some people just want to see the world burn is the moment you get one step closer to understanding the meaning of life.
Ps I dont know the meaning of life but I'm one step closer
It's because they are jelly
There are actually...believe it or not, people that want to push the agenda of obese being healthy. It's actually a part of mainstream political left these days...
Diane Watson There’s always assholes around. Just keep it movin’
Your mom would have been 101% proud of who you are today, I have zero doubt about that💪🏽
@@peterj6802 I could see that happening.
Im ChaosS oh yeah yeah
@@peterj6802 dont give your shit opinion just brcaise youre obese and dont wanna change
She is proud cause she was and is with him from that day he decided to change.
100% agree
This guys story is so close to mine, it's actually insane.
My dad died in 2008, when I was 10 years old. Just like Jordan, I kinda just shut down. Before, I was relatively healthy. I played baseball in school and such. But after then, literally everything went downhill. I rapidly gained weight. I would eat to cope. I gave up on life. I didn't really care about anything. I went through school with no friends due to my weight. I gave up on school too. I didn't do my work, I missed over a month of school and I got truancy on two occasions. But it didn't matter what happened, because I didn't really care. I made it up to the 10th grade, after going to summer school twice. Midway through, my mom and the school came up with the idea to transfer me to online school. So that's what happened. It was working pretty good for the first week or so, but eventually I found out how easy it was to cheat on it, and that turned into just not doing any of the work at all. They kicked me out, and I never really went back to school. So I suppose I technically dropped out of school.
Anyways, fast forward to the beginning of last year. I was at my biggest weight of 323 pounds at 17 years old. I had to go into the hospital for appendicitis, and they admitted me for an appendectomy. After the procedure was finished, the doctor came in and basically told me the surgery was more difficult that it should have been due to my weight and he recommended to get gastric bypass surgery. Right then I kinda just woke up and said to myself that I had to change. So that's exactly what I done. After I had recovered from surgery. I immediately changed my diet. I cut down my portion sizes, stopped eating fast food and junk food, sugar, etc. It was working. I lost over 50 pounds just by doing that. Then I switched to the Keto diet, and now I've lost over 100 pounds.
After losing so much weight, I basically gained my life back. I got my GED, I got a job, I actually started making friends, my anxiety and depression almost completely went away. Life is pretty amazing right now, and it's all due to me losing weight. Never would have thought that my weight was holding me back so much.
If anyone out there is reading this and thinking they can't do it, trust me, you can. If I can do it, you can too. Don't give up. Never stop fighting. You can do it. I believe in you.
DubstepEditzz good job! Glad you made a big turn around.
Thank you for sharing your story, lots of similarities there for sure. I am so glad that you were able to make the change after your surgery and embrace a healthy lifestyle. Amazing how you gain a whole new life back and this is just the beginning. Much respect!
Thank you very much for the words. Your story is an inspiration to me to not give up and to move along further in my journey. In my case, that's going to the gym, which is what I started doing a few weeks ago.
That leads me to a question; do you have any tips on what I should do at the gym just for general weight loss, until I get to a point to build muscle and such. I kinda have just been doing a little bit of everything the three times I've went so far.
This story deserves a much better place than a CZcams comment section. Seriously, go out and tell your amazing story
DubstepEditzz I know I'm not Jordan but I've lost weight myself. 125 lbs to date and my biggest tip is to start off lower and upper body days. Start off with weights that you can handle and gradually go up in weight from there. I eventually started to focus on certain muscle groups for each day and I'm looking into strength training like Jordan but you're going into the right direction. The more muscle you have, the more fat you burn.
Man, I don't know what i'd do if my mother died. She's my heart and soul.
As a mum, I find this such a lovely sentiment. I have a similar relationship with my son & I am very happy to be his mum.
What a great thing to read. Please, do your best to keep this love always alive.
My mum died and it's not something you want to go trough
I can relate. My parents are in their late 50's and im Only 14. So i have a fear of them dying before i can experience life with them more and them not being able to see me get a job and have a family and meet their grandkids. My mom and dad are literally my life. I honestly dont know what i would do without them.
Okuyasu Nijimura gosh, I can’t imagine my mom dying, I don’t know what I would do. I know it will happen one day and I’m scared.
Your mother is looking down at you right now, thinking "that is my son" she would be so proud of you.
Alternative world view: You’re mom will be resurrected in a place called paradise. Then you can see her again.
@@riverjones5702 Plot twist: She's looking up to him from hell
@Toy-joda Wow that's not nice if your mom died and people made a joke about them then how would you feel?

PlasmaKing freaking ninjas man

Same, these ninjas are about to cash me outside
Beautiful guy inside and out. This is body positivity.
Wow this is very crazy! I watched this video 2 years ago and it truly inspired me. I remember when I first watched I was at 170 lbs in 6th grade and I was very insecure about my body and a very antisocial person, but this video taught me that anything is possible and endless hours of working resulted in me being 140 lbs. I know it does not seem much but it truly helped me and I am blessed to this day🙏
It’s enough if your the one carrying it around brother. Either way, it’s a commitment. Take pride in your accomplishment. God bless.
Made your mom proud!! Great job!
I lost a ton of weight with this great diet plan here: HootFat. com

Mr.Free what mom
good thing im doing cardio while watching this, my tears just look like sweat.
ahasuhdude lol
ahasuhdude well not me...my tears look like tears lol freakin story man...touching and inspirational
I'm one of those guys who secretly lurks on the Bodybuilding forums for information about nutrition. I come from the opposite spectrum of being anorexic. To see videos such as these with the results they have achieved is awe inspiring. Because when you look at the forums you just assume these dudes just got ripped to get ripped. You never think they may have a problem like I had, and it's really motivating. Jordan's story is truly uplifting.
its your tone that made me think that your pure of heart and such a wonderful being ,sorry for your loss bro you really are such a great inspiration.
400lbs down to 350 at the moment, lifting everyday and eating lean and healthy. Inspirational to see someone else do it before me. I’m the first person in my family to graduate from college and I think it was at that moment I realized I could do anything and change my life to one that I feel is deserving.
Byron Langley You can do it man, if you keep your goal in mind you will accomplish it!
Wow that's A lot you've lost, keep it up, trust the process!!!👏👏👏
That’s awesome. Takes a ton on work to lose that kind of weight.
Just a tip, avoid sugar completely but do NOT cut fat out of your diet. Eat low carbs instead. Fat is actually essential for testosterone production. If you cut fat out of your diet you wont lose as much weight as a low carb diet. Even worse, without fats for proper testosterone production, youll drastically increase the chances of erectile disfunction aswell as lose muscle mass (which you need in order to burn maximum calories). I reccomend a ketogenic diet. Be sure to research it thoroughly before you start it though. It can be dangerous if done incorrectly for extended periods of time. Its pretty miserable for the 1st week or 2 but gets easier once your body learns to burn fat for energy instead of carbs. At that point the weight just flies right off aslong as you dont mess up the diet.
Nice job man before u know it you'll be there before you know😊
Awesome. Congrats. I am a 325 pound bowl of jelly. You have motivated me bro.
Joel Dodson You can do it! Don’t give up! Take hold of your life and weight! :-D

And he same messiah that ChrisLikesYourMom is praying to allowed that to happen.
“oh yea, kids suck” that made me laugh and feel bad at the same time
But honestly he's right, our generation of kids suck
@- Gi i think its because of social media and too muchf freedom in this country
6yrs later, still inspiring others. Sorry about your mom. I too lost mine pretty young. I'm glad you decided to stick around. Continued prayers for peace and success

Makes me so sad that he didn't care if he died... But I'm glad he's doing better.
Neon Majora That’s me at the moment. I barely have any energy to continue to the next day but my friend told me that one of the ways to help with depression is to have a goal and stick to it. I also want to get healthy enough to go camping with my boyfriend. 5”4, 209 pounds. Wish me luck.
Maybe he thought his sad life would be over and he'd be able to see his mom in heaven if he believes in that
@@xTwilightWolvesx The best way to get out of depression is to directly conflict your problem. Trust me, the first two weeks of sports are very hard, and when you are at the point where you want to give up, it's the point of change and success. After that, you will quickly feel stronger, fitter and more confident. I personally lost about 13 lbs in two months, while building some muscle. Doing sports can really affect your psyche in a positive way. Sorry for my mediocre english but I wanted to share my experience with you :) Good luck!
A lot of us get to that stage at some point. It's called a spiritual awakening.
This is so sad, can we hit ten likes?
There is no doubt his mother would be the proudest mother on Earth.
no matter how many times you talk about it , every time you remember mom, it brings tears to your eyes. such a unbreakable bond is between mom and son! long live all moms
"oh yeah, kids suck" - true story, I lived that childhood being a big boy.
yeah me too and it was not that bad. I always think this is good being bullied because you're fat i don't think it should ever stop.
@@siemniak I think you've got alot of growing up to do.
@@bobina321 because I'm smarter than you ? You don't know me at all. I'm not butthurt over everything. Being bullied made me wanna lose weight in the past. Altought it wasn't really being bullied just stupid remarks that children do. If you can't see how that can help there is nothing else that we can talk about because clearly you prefer to operate on emotion instead of logic and I hate discussing anything with people like that...
bobina321 if you think about it it makes sense, if people make fun of you for being fat then your going to try and fix that, if everyone treats you normal you’ll feel normal and feel like you won’t need to change.
Hey, you can be kind & also encourage people who are struggling with their weight and body image. Bullying/Picking on them only showcases how emotionally stunted you are as a person. And don't rebut with the "Tough Love" nonsensical approach. That's case by case. And remember not every portent of advice is 100% the correct course of action taken.
Some folks thrive off the strict drill sergeant guidelines.
Others flourish when calmly and quietly assisted.
Learn to read the room & to also recognize that not every person is the same cookie cutter mold personality.
Tensile strength isn't how we measure a person. We measure a person by their character.
Be kind.
This hit me really hard... I've been overweight for around 12 years now.. I'm almost 400 lbs now.. and my Mom died 9 months ago.. which has made life even worse.. I feel for this guy so much because I am where he used to be..... I hope one day I get the courage to change just as he did before it's too late for me.
kornfreak78 it's never too late. Let's do it together. I'm 270 at 5'11" so I have a ways to go, but ill reply to this every time I lose 10 lbs. I hope you take part as well and we both win from it. Starting today fat me is history.

speak for your self man, don't get me wrong it's inspiring to SOME people, everybody is different and take things very differently than others, like my self it's not inspiring it doesn't make me wanna go to the gym and start working out, but have respect for his motivation
This spoke to me so much. I had always been a big girl. When I was 13, my dad died from complications of diabetes. I had seen the bad that came with it. I ballooned after that. My highest was 269 (I'm only 5'1'). I eventually had a son, who is now 5. Problem was that I was going down the same path my dad was. I turned myself around and lost about 125 lbs and full of muscle. I know too well about using food as a coping mechanism and like Jordan, I didn't see myself of deserving something better. So glad he pulled himself out of the darkness.
Thank you so much for sharing your story as well. So glad that you were able to turn your life around and be there for your son. The strength exhibited by a parent who wants to improve themselves to in turn improve the life of their child is incredible.
Amazing story! Do you have any tips about trying to get away from using food for coping? I kind of eat whenever I'm anxious which is pretty much all the time and I would love to hear from a successful person how they did it.
De Riv no one likes a strong girl because that makes you manly and most men don't want a manly woman
clorox bleach then you're not man enough to handle a strong woman 💪
6indy With a 6 keto diet or high fat/low carb has really worked well for me. It keeps me satsiated. Great for cutting down on body fat.
In so grateful he was willing to share with me. I love the heart of this man big and tough
As a mum of a boy like you were. Your mum isn't just proud - she is happy and at peace. You should be proud of yourself
This motivated me to work out.
My mother also died 3 years ago when I was 16

As a skinny guy trying to put on weight, this is pretty inspiring.

If you want to put on weight... eat. It's that simple.
SkullflowerEOS its not that simple when you're skinny and used to eating small amounts. Its hard to eat when you're not hungry and keep eating when you can hardly chew because you just don't want to and feel sick. I gradually made myself eat more, counted my calories and increased it gradually (with the right foods) obviously and man it was tough. Still now I find it tough sometimes and so easy to slip back into just eating a basic amount of food. Training your stomach to get used to eating more is not simple.
ŪNℲOLḎ probably both, same as me
MrMongoose221 agreed. I tried to put on weight and I was eating lots of food until I literally couldn't take in any more. But as you said it's hard to keep that up. I try but so often I just go back into eating small amounts I just can't keep it up. I did put on some weight and I'm happy enough with my improvements so far but you're right it's not that easy to do

WOW

Someone give this man a hug.
I admire your tenacity. Your mom is looking down on you and smiling. You are a great example for others. You are quite a hunk of man.
Your mom is with you she's in your heart and is standing next to you every second as you become more successful..and she's saying (I'm so proud of you)
kimmy fink ☹️👏 that’s so beautiful
Jamari Underwood you have to read the Quran to understand I was a little harsh but whwn some one dies in your family they go to hell or heaven if you pray to god and prophet Mohammed you go to heaven but if you don’t obey god and his prophet Mohammed you will go to hell
Baderthegameplayer you're a bad person for saying his mother is in hell. YOU WILL GO TO HELL FOR SAYING SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
Jamari Underwood Muhammad is a child molester.
Baderthegameplayer You are correct I am a Muslim اشهد ان لا اله الا الله
Man... thank you. I was in a car accident myself at about 400 lbs. I got hit riding a bike to work lol
Since two November's ago, I've steadily gone down to just over 270 lbs. Thank you for motivating me to keep going. Sending good energy your way, much love my friend and brother
Shoot, you motivate me. I'm 374. I desire to get to 240
@@bw5020 Bro u got this. It isn't hard as long as you want it. And your mind knows you want it. Right now I am 14 5'8 and 174 I'm a bit chubby. But I used to be 193 3 months ago. And all I did was not eat junk food. It really does make a difference. I believe in you.
@@doglover33246 I needed that. Thank you!!
@@bw5020 Np. In a year tell me ur progress pls
I, too, was in a car wreck 2 years ago, 200+ lb overweight. Then when my therapy started the lockdown hit. I am just getting to the point where I can walk short distances without a walker. I still spend time in the wheel chair at home, but less and less. I am beginning a keto lifestyle, actually have started testing the waters amd trying recipes just the past 2 weeks. I am really excited about it and feel like I can do this but watching this type of video is so inspirational, as are the comments like yours!! As long as I’m this heavy I am going to have a super difficult time walking like a normal person again and I really want to. I want to play with my grandchildren rather than just watching them play. I am looking forward to donating that wheel chair to someone who really needs it!! God bless you Brandon for sticking with it, and for getting through it! There’s alot of joy yet to be shared out there!
Those soft eyes are melting hearts…keep up living a good life 💜
To the 3.1k that gave this a thumbs down shame on you!! Poor guy pouring his heart out show some compassion
This guy motivated me and all My brothers and sisters in world.

I have tremendous respect for you dude. Wish you all the best
Your story made me cry! You are awesome Bro.
lost it at 9:50 , tears have now been released, best video ive ever seen. Keep on going man!!
Damn football was close to saving him. I know it doesn't sound like it because the coach wanted him for his size. But most of the linemen I played with were also used for that. But it was the first time they ever did something physically demanding, and with football, they got a taste of it, and most enjoyed it. So after football most, began working on there own and got to a healthy weight.
Exactly! Thank you! Coaches know that a kid with size can turn into a beast with proper training. Would have improved his health a lot sooner
basically me man i kept working out after football but ate better and lost 80 pounds
A hefty athlete is much, much healthier than a hefty kid with no drive who sits around all day.
Sheeeeiiit, I still know all of the O line I played with in high school and they are all fatter.
You left me in tears.... Now this is the mind over matter example!
I'm so pleased you shared your story xx you look so good
