In Birmingham, England, United Kingdom – At 28-years-old DAVID SMITH weighed more than 42 stone, was a virgin, housebound and wanted to die. A lardy 401 pounds of weightloss and $80,000 later he’s become a hit with the ladies and has just qualified as a gym instructor and he’s even met Oprah. His amazing fatty to fitty journey only began after he became friends with local radio DJ and fitness instructor Chris Powell who decided to help him. The pair became the best of friends and David slowly began to shed the pounds and in the end excess skin, which doctors had to remove in four operations. David, who now weighs a manly 224 lbs, became a prisoner in his own body after childhood bullying lead him to become a recluse. For year he had lived on a diet of fizzy drinks and pizza his weight rocketed to an incredible 601 pounds and said he felt like ‘the elephant man’. Now he hopes to inspire children and adults in Britain and worldwide that there is a way back from obesity.
