Austin Shifflett from Virginia, weighed 146kg at his heaviest.
The 22-year-old was taunted by bullies, dubbed 'Fat Boy', and he lost all sense of self-worth.
He told the Mirror: "I thought it was just baby weight and it would get better but it didn't, it just got out of control."
"It affected my education so I had to be held back. I was so behind with my school work and that was when the bullying really started."
So he made the decision to lose it! It took him 10 months and the transformation has helped more than just his health (check out the photos above)!
"It changed my life in a lot of ways. I was really shy before so it has helped with my confidence levels.
"It's really helped with dating and girls too. Before they wouldn't even talk to me."
Good on you Austin!
