It’s very hard to lose weight – not only do you need to exercise and eat right, but you also need the right attitude and a whole load of willpower. One thing that helps is having an end goal, which for David Smith was to get laid.

Smith is the subject of a documentary titled The 650 Lb Virgin which tells the story of how he went from a morbidly obese guy with no job and no friends to a 250 lb guy with plenty going for him. Although judging by this clip he still can’t get laid.

This video shows Smith’s story from the point of view of his personal trainer Chris Powell, who helped him lose the weight. When you’re that fat it really doesn’t take much to lose a few pounds although it obviously got harder towards the end.

The least savory part of this YouTube clip is when Smith has lost most of his weight and finds himself left with rolls of skin. Not a good look. Thankfully, he’s now had that removed via cosmetic surgery.
