Over the past two years, he has shed an astonishing 336 pounds, a feat that required an immense amount of dedication, discipline, and perseverance.
At his heaviest, Cole weighed around 600 pounds, and he knew it was time for a serious change.
Sharing his motivation with the world, he wrote on Twitter: “Two years ago I decided I didn’t want to die young. I didn’t want to get diabetes. I didn’t want to never know my true potential. I decided to take my life back. 330+ lbs down and I’m not done yet. Believe in yourself!”
In a bold move, he shared a shirtless progress photo, revealing his dramatic transformation.
He admitted: “It’s very hard to share a shirtless picture but I’ve come so far. Over 336lbs down! Most didn’t believe in me but I believed in myself.”
His story quickly went viral, with countless people flooding the comments to express their support and admiration.
One person was especially inspired and wrote: “Keep pushing bruv. You inspired me to start on my weight loss journey. I need to lose about 120lbs to stay lean and fit. Starting the journey as we speak.”
To help fund the surgery needed to remove it, he launched a GoFundMe campaign with a goal of raising $100,000.
In his campaign, he explained his next challenge, saying: “My weight goal has been reached but my life is not complete, and it will not be complete until I can get rid of this excess skin.”
Cole’s remarkable progress has been achieved through sheer determination, consistent exercise, and a commitment to a healthier lifestyle.
With an unwavering belief in himself, he left his supporters with a powerful message: “People didn’t believe in me, but I believed in myself. Over 361 pounds down, and I’m not done yet. You can do anything you put your mind to. I hope my story can be an inspiration to others trapped in this same type of situation.”
