- Mike went to bed every night thinking he was going to have a heart attack. Watch his inspiring story of weight loss and grit.
At the beginning of the pandemic, Mike realized he was facing not just one but two adversaries: COVID and his obesity. He’d wanted to make changes for a while but kept stalling. “I’ll start on Monday,” he’d say, but never did. Then, one morning, in the middle of a massive breakfast, it hit him. “I’m killing myself. I just need to start.” He jumped in his pool and started swimming laps. It was a Friday. Mike was finished with excuses.
Mike’s wife was already using MyFitnessPal and suggested he download the app. Logging food introduced him to nutrition for the first time in his life, which helped him make healthier choices. “I wasn’t just tracking my calories, I was looking at what I was eating.”
In a little over a year, Mike lost 245 pounds (more than half his weight!). His transformation was so dramatic that some of his co-workers didn’t recognize him when he returned to work. (But he enjoyed seeing that light go on when they figured it out.)
“Everybody says, ‘How do you feel?’ and I just say, ‘It feels good to feel good.'”

I started using MyFitnessPal back in late July after coming home from a New England trip where I had lost 6 lbs just from walking everyday. With that jumpstart, I accidentally happened upon their website and started using it to keep track of my progress. Just from keeping a food journal and only sporadic walking I've lost a few more lbs. in the past 2 months. MyFitnessPal is free and it's great and I'm saying this on my own. Congratulations Mike, you look like a completely different person!
Thank you so much for sharing! This was so inspirational to me! After listening to your message, I started my own healthy life plan the next day! It has been ten months ago to the day, and I am down 47 pounds so far! My goal is to get healthy and lose 100 pounds total. You really helped to make a difference in my life and I am grateful! :)
Very inspiring story, congrats Mike!
Aloha Mike, what an inspiration you are. Your words resonated with me.... I'll start on Monday. Thank you for sharing your story which will motivate people like me to take that first step.
Hey Mike, thanks for sharing your journey, it made me feel emotional watching you which surprised me. You are inspiring, and also a demonstration that consistent actions and going that one
step further will get you there. I loved what you said about keeping in mind why you are doing it, and that moment of waking up. Thanks for being prepared to share. :)
