David Smith Weight Loss Story
David Smith was 630 pounds in 2003 and decided to change his life by going through only carb cycling for weight loss. Now 2007, he weighs at a stunning 229 pounds, losing 401 pounds but still has excess skin on his body. He underwent several surgeries to remove the excess skin and after that he looks just like any other normal guy. Definitely an inspiration for a lot of the unhappy souls out there.

He’d look alright if it weren’t for those excess skin

it’s not carbon cycling, but carbohydrate cycling/carb-cycling

What a beautiful connection between two people! I’m sure that each taught the other valuable lessons. I’m so proud of them…and of course you know that this was NOT just a calorie burning excercise, but a spiritual one: being able to look at ones life clearly. This story brought me to tears of joy. When you lay down at night in the comfort of your pellow and look up at darkness, you alone are with your thoughts….the closest one to you has their own. That is just the way it is. How would you describe yourself? What do you want to change? Thanks David! Sincerely, Tim Fox

Brought tears to my eyes… I am glad that Mr. Smith is able to see the world in a different light now. I am so happy for you and your new found happiness. And to the man that took the time to help him: The world sure does need more people like you!

David,
Thank you for sharing your inspiring story. I know you have had a difficult journey through life before and during your transformation. I hope you continue to set and obtain your life goals and that you will be able to assist another as your trainer friend did you. You are both amazing men !

this guy is amazing……..
January 13th, 2008 at 1:59 pm
I saw a new program on him on youtube and his trainer gave a website name but when i typed it in nothing came up. I need to know the diet program that they put him on bc he said that he did only like 3 days of exercise a week and that it was mainly the diet that contributed to his weight loss. How can i find the diet plan. If someone knows please e-mail me at greenlanterntexas@yahoo.com.
Thanks
Clint
January 19th, 2008 at 5:26 am
Clint, what he did was called carb-cycling but any controlled carbohydrate plan will do it. The media and the medical establishment are so hellbent on low-fat and low-calorie eating but they don’t work for most people–even if you lose weight, you’re starving the whole time. It’s not hard to believe weight loss can come from dieting because excess weight is about fat storage to begin with, which is about the kinds of calories you consume and in which proportions, not about your fitness level. I recently read about a 200+ pound woman who is a triathlete, for instance.

@Laya - Read the whole post next time. He did get it removed.

are you kidding me with this huge round of applause for this little turd? The only people entitled enough to get that friggen disgustingly and inexplicably huge are the ones who would be able to have their mommies and daddies pay probably $50,000 to have his mongoloid skin - flaps removed! You aren’t a triumph by correcting the mistakes of being a disgusting incapacitated loser in the first place. Better to have shot you in your cholesterol laden belly than to have used so many resources to make you look “normal”. Hope your girlfriend enjoys licking your scars, frigging waste of carbon!

You guys need to look into Raw Food diets. They are great for health and weight loss.

mike shanahan, you are an a$$hole. Some messed up things happened to David when he was a kid and he used food as a comfort. He had some emotional problems and his weight got out of hand because the more people would make fun of him and abuse him for being fat, the more he would eat to comfort himself. The reason he deserves praise is because even after getting that out of hand, he actually lost all that weight with diet and exercise alone. Do you know how hard that is? And as for your mommie and daddy theory, his mom is dead- on her deathbed she begged him to lose the weight. I’m not sure if his dad is in the picture. Doctors donated the surgeries because they were so impressed by David’s accopmplishments.
David, If you ever are in the Philly area and want to go on a date, let me know!

January 31st, 2008 at 4:45 pm
yeah mike shanahan, don’t be a jerk.
there is a disorder called BED. an eating disorder like anorexia/bulemia, except the opposite. or even like drugs and smoking…eating can become an addiction for some people, and its not as easy as “normal” people think to regain control
im not saying that david had BED…i dont know much of his story
but my point is, just because someone is obese doesn’t mean they gladly and threw themselves in that direction.
if there’s psychological issues involved, it’s NOT as easy as saying “oh man, im gaining a lot of weight. im going to stop” and then stopping.
January 31st, 2008 at 5:05 pm
Respect!
February 14th, 2008 at 3:13 am
He has had the skin removed. Dr Mehdi Mazaheri did it for him. He specializes in skin removal for the massive weight loss patient. David look awesome now and you can tell that he has gained a lot of confidence as well!! I’m truly proud of him and all the doctors that donated their services to help him feel human again.
April 7th, 2008 at 12:23 am
Really glad for him. It’s important for obese people to lose their weight especially for health reasons.
April 12th, 2008 at 9:10 am
ooooh, u a hottie now
Congrats on all that weight loss
April 13th, 2008 at 10:52 pm
God Bless You David! My 12 year old is chunky, and often made fun of or bullied. We have talked about these issues and have even talked to counselors at school. It’s been really tough for her( as I’m sure it was for you) trying to fit in at school when the other kids are constantly harrassing her. I tell her that she is a beautiful and worthwhile human being,
she’s funny and creative, and that those kids are missing out on a great friend. I encourage all parents to teach their kids (especially middle schoolers) to respect other people. Words hurt and they damage our self esteem. Thank you, David, for sharing your story. God Bless.

Hi David, my name is Jeff. I am 18 years old, 6′ and weigh 340 lbs. I am a gamer and usually play around 10 hours a day with a 40 hour week job, eat lots of junk food, and it doesnt help that I work at mcdonald’s. Inspired by your story, Yesterday I decided to put away the video games for the next four months and change my eating habits drastically. I used to drink 1+ Litres of pop a day. I have now been caffeine free for a week. When I do eat at work, i now substitute the fries for a side salad. The drink, a water. And I usually go for a healthier meal besides a double cheeseburger. I am doing alot more to help out around the house such as using a push mower for the lawn, and scrubbing the floors in circular patterns instead of using a mop. I try to do cycling for 1 hour a day and am now walking everywhere instead of taking a taxi.
I just want to say thanks for all the inspiration you have given me and I look forward to joining you in the winners circle.

I don’t understand how anyone could say anything negative about you, I think they must be very shallow minded people who have never truly experienced a problem in their life - yet.
You honestly look absolutely gorgeous - and the transformation is truly amazing.
We all go through ups and downs in life, and you dragged yourself out of the dark place you were in…. and good on you for doing that.
Anyone who says otherwise I truly believe is jealous of your accomplishments, and the way you now look…. which is gorgeous : )

Dude… This past five weeks I’ve finally got off my 18 year old 250 pound ass and started going to the gym intensively. I lost a decent amount of weight already and gained alot of muscle. After seeing this, you have inspired me more than I could imagine. I know how it is to be teased and made fun of, and all it does is make you want to eat. Depression kills any hopes of losing weight. But if anything, I can tell you this. All it takes is a motivating friend or friends to help you push yourself, and I’m sure you know this. I will work out everyday remembering this story, and regardless of whether or not you see this, just know you will always be my inspiration.

I just want to cry when I see this. I have managed to lose just 70 pounds about 5 years ago, and the excess skin that I have gets in the way of wearing certain things and I look a non-stop 5 months prego, but I see this and it makes me even more thankful that I am not alone!
Inspiring indeed!
Would love to have your Doctor’s information for help in the near future! CONGRATS!
I would love to know how you did it exactly!
July 5th, 2008 at 4:12 am
Congrats from Russia! Although I’m far from getting fat, your story is truly inspiring for all possible life situations. I I were a girl, I’d.. lol

I really cant describe how amazed i am … impressive and keep it bro u actually inspired me and i am thinking of making some changes in my life now..
ty very much for being such an inspiration and i hope u have a good life and enjoy your body
August 14th, 2008 at 2:52 pm
What an amazing story, David you have shown the world that with strength of mind and the power of dreams that discipline and vision can pay off. you are an inspiration!!
August 16th, 2008 at 4:05 pm
Hmm, this makes me think that this diet makes you lose too much too quickly if the body cant bounce back enough to at least shrink some of the skin as well. Seems unsafe to try this diet program.
September 18th, 2008 at 4:38 pm
Just a bit of adive if any1 needs some, on keeping on track. Swimming did wonders for my girlfriend. Helped her get in shape in under a month with 4-5hours of swimming/week.

Great post, very inspirational
I’m having my gf go from 74 to 59 and she’s at about 65 right now 
Keep up the good work!
September 26th, 2008 at 9:29 pm
Not only did I just read though this article and looked through the pictures, but I also went to the Stax System website. I have had problems with my weight all of my life and have tried countless “gimmick” diets as well as specialized weight-loss groups to aid me in getting to my goal weight. Unfortuantely they never worked to my expectations. If David can loose 400+lbs in 2 years, then I believe it is possible for any one of us do the same if we have the will and drive to do it like he did. I am inspired by his story and it nearly brought me to tears. Thank you for sharing this story with all of us. Truly remarkable.
October 16th, 2008 at 2:18 pm
Wow David! What an amazing inspiration and motivation you are! I’ve seen so many people say they’re going to lose weight and falter during the process because it seems too hard or takes too long. If they could just see how possible it is to shape themselves physically and mentally to become something more and better. I salute you dude!
November 26th, 2008 at 10:38 am
David I commend u for what u did, congratulations. I been there got the T-shirt for it. Had all the riducule from the thin women poking remarks about how fat they are and how they need to go on diet always in front of me and saying how awful a fat person looks. I know exactly how it feels and the wonderful feeling when those kilos just start dropping off. I always was a size 36 weighing 75kg but due to many operations and hormone treatments went to size 54 and 135kg. Got very ill had 2 huge operations started losing weight thru not being able to eat - developed pouches in my throat now only on liquids. Lost 54 kgs. Do I feel wonderful. Had tummy tuck still need arms and hips and upper legs excess skin to me removed. To all the people out there who are quick to pass remarks at “fat: people. What goes around comes around maybe in not the same way but you will get your day MAKE NO MISTAKE FOR GOD DOES NOT SLEEP — AMEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WELL DONE DAVID AND MAY U FIND THE LOVE OF YOUR LIFE WHICH SO SO MUCH DESERVE AS U ARE A GOOD LOOKING GUY.
January 20th, 2009 at 2:25 am
This is such an inspiring story, it takes a lot of will power to go through such a trying journey. I’ve personally never had to go through something like this, and I can only imagine how hard of a transformation it was, doing a complete 180 with your lifestyle. Congratulations

Well, David - your effort has inspired me to do something similar. At nearly 450lbs (203Kgs) I was really missing out on so much of life, especially with my 7 year old son. Now, 11 months later I have lost over 160lbs (73Kgs) and have about 55-66lbs (25-30Kgs) to go to reach my goal weight of 220Lbs (100Kgs). Thanks, David. You are an inspiration to us all…
