Over the past year I lost 130 pounds without telling my family. This is the reaction of my dad and stepmom after seeing me for the first time. See here for before/after pictures and more info: / 130_pounds_down_face_p...
+Yugan Dali as someone who lives hours away from their parents, I could be hiding ten grandchildren without them knowing until I finally went home to visit...
@@bobjones1302 go there more often! As long as they are healthy enough to really enjoy you being there make a family holiday on a lake or a long bike ride, Disney!!! Please don't say I have to work or I'm busy because ones they are sick you suddenly have time you never knew you could have. Tomorrow is a wish not a promise! I'm 32 a stroke survivor who had to learn to talk properly again and last week my doctor told me I'm going to lose my eyesight slowly but surely. One day everything was good and then it wasn't! Be careful an love your life
For anyone losing weight, don’t expect congrats from anyone, just be happy you did the work for yourself and you will reap your benefit of enjoying much better health and you will increase the chance of those that love you to keep you around longer. Be prepared mentally-for yourself, but all the merrier to you if you happen to have loved ones to shower you in love and congrats! 👍🏻
Wow!! Holy smokes is the BEST under utilized word. What a sweet & supportive family. Sooo proud of this young man! Keep being an inspiration young man!
Am I the only one who noticed how it feels as if hes not close to his dad or something? the reaction at 0:20 - his dad is like wow! *open arms* and the guy just looks away "hehe.." then goes to his mom
Wish my family was like that even when I lose weight in a healthy way they still don't like it and I try not to make that affect me but it still feels sad I mean...they should feel happy for me not make me feel ugly or sick even tho I'm not .... btw to clear things out cuz maybe some ppl will think there's a problem with me and my family is "trying to protect me" now I'm 170cm and 72kg wanting to reach around 60kg ,I was 84kg previously
You got this!!! It's always your choice only to be healthier, my family complains to me as well that I've lost weight and now am "too skinny", but I wanted it, still working on it, in a healthy way so there's nothing wrong!
I use to fast and be a vegetarian 30 yes ago and my family didn't like my weight loss. U have to do what you feel is best for you AS LONG AS U ARE HEALTHY AND THAT MEANS GETTING THE VITAMINS AND MINERALS YOUR BODY NEEDS. Don't mess your body up and get sick losing weight.
Holy WOW that is so amazing.... Wow ok, now I seriously have to get off my own ass and lose weight, this is unbelievably sweet. thank you so much for sharing this moment :D
I know what this feels like and it feels really good in the moment. I had encouragement when I used to work out but for some reason I stopped. I was able to lose weight until I got to 118 pounds. Then I quickly started going up. 135,140,150,160,168,172,175,179,180,184,189, and now 194. I am not proud and I hope to feel that again. I’m going to start working out again with a personal trainer tomorrow all summer until the very last day. Maybe this is my chance. I wish good luck to everybody struggling with their weight, and I hope we all stop comparing our bodies to other girls who are probably being called to skinny or too fat. Love yourself and let me k ow if you would like to see TH-cam shorts of how my progress is. Love yourself and know that I am rooting for you, know that everywhere in the world there are people rooting for you ❤️. Good luck besties.😉🤞🏼
hey, that so inspiring man. Can you share with me how you got yourself motivated to lose weight and how you started the process? Thanks. From an overweight guy about the same age as you.
OK i don't know if i'm the only one wondering or i misread something but how come his father and step mom haven't seen him in a year. Do they just far away?
This video gave me so much hope. I read your article on the Today website. Congratulations, Bob! It motivates me to continue trying to eat healthy in hopes that I will be able to surprise my family and friends too.
Wow! Congratulations on reaching a very impressive health goal! I'm glad to see you did at a young age and your body thanks you for it I'm sure... He looks great!!
Great job! But I cant get over how you havnt seen your dad in over a year, and you pass him by without even a hug :( Then you just put your back to him :(
About the vertical video griping? Don't you know, everyone looks better on vertical videos. Horizontal videos do that unnatural stretch that makes everyone fat. Vertical video: Part of the thin-is-in motif.
Congrats! Feels good to be healthier and skinnier for sure. I have lost 70lbs in the past 12 months by just diet itself as well. I finally bought some clothes that fit now and I look slimmer. 290lbs to 220lbs. That was my goal, but I think this year, I will try another 20lbs for July. Again...best of luck,
Totally saw this on Yahoo (unfortunately the first place to see it), then checked out reddit. Absolutely amazing! Definitely a motivation for 2014! Thanks!
Major congrats to you! As a personal trainer who used to be obese, I can tell you that the benefits from losing all that weight are too numerous to mention here. I work with obese clients everyday and most don't comprehend how hard it is to do what you just accomplished. The ones that do become empowered again in their lives just like you mostly likely are experiencing.
I was heavy all my life and was roughly 230lbs in high school at age 16. By the time I got to college I had lost 95lbs and I loved hearing all the time that I got a glow-up lol. People really treat me differently and despite being at the same weight for a couple years now, people still comment on my weight loss. Gotta say I really am happier and enjoy life a lot more now, it just sucks I’m shy and self conscious as shit still and ashamed of my past
Awesome dude...i really need to loose weight...but the will is not enough...but dunno if theres anything i wish for is to become healthier, so im thinking of doing something about it..its time to. Congratulations from Buenos Aires Argentina!
I lost close to 30kg, no one noticed until I showed them a photo of what I used to look like LOL
Change was to slow than for people close to you to notice.
That's probably right, I lost it over a year or 2
hectichorse You're way more likely to keep it off though, over long term.
Yess the people who see us everyday don't notice lol
lol same happened to me
Oh my go0o00ooOOOO0Oo0od!
Is this a jojo reference?
Stfu

One day I will know these feels.
Andrew Johansen You’ve got this man
🙌🙌
I hope you succeeded brother.
*6 years ago*
How u doing mate?
you go dude
Wow, good for you man!!! You really took control of your life and health. Good on ya!
Oh that is just too cute. You can hear how proud they are just from their voices. Great work!
Respect dude. Don't let eating habits let it slip away from you again.
Endearing family moment promptly ruined by vertical video
Awwww you can tell that they were like the most supportive people ever
Well done mate, fair play to ya..
Good for you!
But I don't understand: how did you keep the secret while you were losing weight?
I live far away from my family, and they only see me once or twice a year.
Bob Jones Apparently they can't figure out skype yet?
KnightMD Yeah because adults are totally hip with the internet and these parents are just stupid...Really?

The mom's always seem to take the weight loss more personal, reminds me of mine. Congrats bud!

amazing job kiddo! ive lost 110 lbs but it took years. i still need to lose weight
Am I the only one who noticed how it feels as if hes not close to his dad or something? the reaction at 0:20 - his dad is like wow! *open arms* and the guy just looks away "hehe.." then goes to his mom
What a great supportive family and fantastic job on weight loss!!
Congrats on your weight loss!
Congrats!! Your story is very inspirational for so many people.
My dream to do this to my family. I just am not motivated to lose the weight 😓
I love how humans change the tone of their voices when expressing certain emotions lol
*Ignores the dad, goes straight for the step mom*
Hint: Hold phone horizontally when filming to fit the whole family in the shot.

is that rob dyrdek's mom? haha, jk. she really looked and sounded like her, though. great job on the self-improvement!!
I thought the same thing hahaha.
or Bam Margera's :D
Good job!! So inspiring!
oh shit you just got meme'd out on reddit!
Congratulations!
Holy WOW that is so amazing....
Wow ok, now I seriously have to get off my own ass and lose weight, this is unbelievably sweet.
thank you so much for sharing this moment :D
Alright Brittany be honest with me, how did it go?
mad props!! congratulations!! 130lbs is a ton!

Good job that giggles makes my heart so happy hehe
That's the right reaction from a family when losing weight!
This is awesome! You did such an amazing job. Great job!!!!!
Now for the mother. She needs your help.
Really?
carthiefd you don't think so? She's definitely not healthy.
Conrad King
Such a non sens comment. Match age and weight. You may understand what's going around
djbendji I'm sorry.... she is evidently unhealthy. You are completely delusional if you don't think so.
Conrad King
Bore off, man.
This is so wholesome
hey, that so inspiring man. Can you share with me how you got yourself motivated to lose weight and how you started the process? Thanks. From an overweight guy about the same age as you.
This is so nice you should feel so proud loosing weight is hard
I've lost over 50kgs (close to 120 pounds). Feels good man
"B-B-BUT MY GENETICS~!!!!"
OK i don't know if i'm the only one wondering or i misread something but how come his father and step mom haven't seen him in a year. Do they just far away?
Yes they live far away, I only visit once or twice a year.
Bob Jones
oh ok well congrats on you're loss real inspiring
Now I wanna surprise my family haha
That's awesome, I just struggle to watch vertical video.
me too.
Awesome! Congratulations! 🤗🎉🥇
Congrats. Much respect :)
If this video wasn't so great, I'd thumb it down for filming vertically.
Damn 6 years ago, that's crazy.
Not everyone has a 9:21 monitor, please turn the phone sideways. I'm guessing iPhone.
We need more videos like these. Thanks for the inspiration!
That is a lot of weight to lose. Bloody fair play pal, that's pretty phenomenal
Congratulations!! Are you going to publish your food diary so the rest of us can be slim like you?
Fuck i am so proud of him and i ain't know this guy!
Apparently the video also lost a lot of weight and is now reduced to a narrow, vertical bar.
Nice work man
This video gave me so much hope. I read your article on the Today website. Congratulations, Bob! It motivates me to continue trying to eat healthy in hopes that I will be able to surprise my family and friends too.
this is so inspiring!!!
nice dude
Good for you.. a healthier you is always worth the effort :)
HE LOVES HIS MAMA!!!!
Well done. Way to stick with it!
Wow! Congratulations on reaching a very impressive health goal! I'm glad to see you did at a young age and your body thanks you for it I'm sure... He looks great!!
Funny man thanks for sharing
I recently lost 30 pounds, but then it turned out it only happened because i had diabetes :D (type 1, so don't judge me). Get checked.
my body is so ridiculous. It's hard for me to lose weight...I know that if I suddenly started losing weight...SOMETHING must be wrong with me.
Great job! But I cant get over how you havnt seen your dad in over a year, and you pass him by without even a hug :( Then you just put your back to him :(
Good stuff. Congratulations, man!
This is totally cool.
saw this on BuzzFeed and had to look for the original xD great job dude!
Wow got this reccomend 7 years later
Well done on ur weight loss
Shame they didn't know how to use their phone camera properly :(
Does this mean you're on the market?
That's awesome :-) ! Gives me a lot of motivation!!
About the vertical video griping? Don't you know, everyone looks better on vertical videos. Horizontal videos do that unnatural stretch that makes everyone fat. Vertical video: Part of the thin-is-in motif.
This is great! Congrats on the loss!
This was all around awkard AF. The intros in the beginning, one handed hug, side hug and then the hug over the railing lmao
And here is me who just lost and ate a pizza slice. I've never felt so guilty.
Is anyone else concerned that his parents were gone for a year?
My girlfriend and I are trying to lose weight together. Our goal is I want to be able to pick her up. We weigh about the same at the moment.
vertical video in 2014 omg...
lol it's in half the videos still =/ can we make a global announcement so everyone knows? =/
My family would have found something to roast me about lol.
What a great video! Thanks for sharing your success!
what was weight before?
You look younger! Look great! Congrats! DON'T RELAPS. It won't be worth it!
Damn those words of affirmation are hitting me right in my chest.
Congrats! Feels good to be healthier and skinnier for sure. I have lost 70lbs in the past 12 months by just diet itself as well. I finally bought some clothes that fit now and I look slimmer. 290lbs to 220lbs. That was my goal, but I think this year, I will try another 20lbs for July. Again...best of luck,

Well done, dude. The video could really benefit from a picture of you BEFORE you lost the weight though!
Who else was expecting the 'before - after pic' ending ? 😁😁😁
Just me , I guess 🙏🏼
What a great mother.
Meat, veggies and low carb. Nothing out of a box. I dropped 70 pounds in 6 months.
I don't know what there's not to "like" about this... Congrats dude! You deserve it!! Good Job!

Good for you, good for your health, good for your family. A really great moment was captured here.
Congratulations! Keep up the awesome work in 2014 :)
soo good for you!!!, i really impressed for you, because lose 130 pound it's not easy and good luck for your new life
