1
00:00:03,592 --> 00:00:07,062
Every day, I wake up
with this imperfection.
2
00:00:07,096 --> 00:00:09,214
I don't know
what to do anymore.
3
00:00:09,248 --> 00:00:10,799
I am broken.
4
00:00:10,833 --> 00:00:13,735
I'll have burger combo,
steak burrito,
5
00:00:13,769 --> 00:00:16,871
and Western combo
with a chocolate shake.
6
00:00:16,906 --> 00:00:21,176
I'm so sorry I got this way.
I'm so sorry, I'm so ashamed.
7
00:00:21,210 --> 00:00:24,312
It's disgusting.
She's waiting to die.
8
00:00:24,347 --> 00:00:27,882
I just wish she could be
who she used to be.
9
00:00:27,900 --> 00:00:29,317
His health is at stake.
10
00:00:29,352 --> 00:00:30,551
If he doesn't lose the weight,
11
00:00:30,569 --> 00:00:32,354
it's only gonna get worse.
12
00:00:38,411 --> 00:00:40,862
- It's a girl.
- It's a girl?
13
00:00:40,896 --> 00:00:42,897
It would be devastating
if something happened.
14
00:00:42,965 --> 00:00:46,034
I can't imagine
raising a baby without him.
15
00:00:46,102 --> 00:00:47,786
Food is every bit as crippling
16
00:00:47,837 --> 00:00:50,438
as any other kind of drug.
17
00:00:50,473 --> 00:00:51,373
It'll kill you.
18
00:00:53,542 --> 00:00:57,278
The point of being here
is to create new normals.
19
00:00:57,296 --> 00:00:58,630
They're crunching and grinding.
20
00:00:58,681 --> 00:01:00,048
There's no weight
on the machine.
21
00:01:00,082 --> 00:01:01,916
Take it out! Take it out!
Take it out!
22
00:01:01,967 --> 00:01:04,319
I don't really know
where to go from here.
23
00:01:04,353 --> 00:01:06,521
It's very, very discouraging.
24
00:01:06,555 --> 00:01:10,692
She's gonna die unless
she makes some changes now.
25
00:01:10,759 --> 00:01:13,061
I don't want my child to know
about a fat dad.
26
00:01:13,095 --> 00:01:14,863
I want my child to know
about a healthy dad.
27
00:01:14,897 --> 00:01:16,998
I want to be able
to live again.
28
00:01:17,033 --> 00:01:19,034
I can't go on like this
any longer.
29
00:01:19,068 --> 00:01:22,070
I need it so bad.
I want it so bad.
30
00:01:22,104 --> 00:01:24,789
Right now, I just can't
deal with anything.
31
00:01:24,824 --> 00:01:27,876
I'm just so unhappy.
32
00:01:27,943 --> 00:01:30,995
I'm unhappy with myself.
33
00:01:31,047 --> 00:01:34,916
I'm unhappy
with just everything.
34

Sync by n17t01

35
00:01:42,425 --> 00:01:46,294
I'm mark. I'm 39.
And I weigh 480 pounds.
36
00:01:49,815 --> 00:01:52,200
I don't want my child to know
about a fat dad.
37
00:01:52,234 --> 00:01:54,102
I want my child to know
about a healthy dad.
38
00:01:54,153 --> 00:01:58,356
- It's a girl.
- It's a girl? Oh.
39
00:01:58,407 --> 00:02:00,241
One of the things
about being so big
40
00:02:00,276 --> 00:02:02,494
is that you miss out
on a great deal.
41
00:02:02,528 --> 00:02:04,779
And I don't want to miss out
on any more.
42
00:02:04,797 --> 00:02:07,015
I mean, that's what we're
dealing with.
43
00:02:07,049 --> 00:02:10,869
I had to move my fat
out of the way
44
00:02:10,920 --> 00:02:14,456
to be able to do stuff.
45
00:02:14,473 --> 00:02:19,594
Um, so that's... that's me.
I got to lose this.
46
00:02:19,628 --> 00:02:22,347
I don't want to miss out
on playing with my baby.
47
00:02:22,381 --> 00:02:25,016
And Jackie needs
to have a partner
48
00:02:25,101 --> 00:02:28,770
who is able to do the things
that need to be done.
49
00:02:28,804 --> 00:02:30,305
The excuse
of "well, I'm just tired"
50
00:02:30,356 --> 00:02:31,940
just doesn't work
when you have a child.
51
00:02:31,974 --> 00:02:34,359
You've got to be there.
52
00:02:34,393 --> 00:02:35,860
Oh, my God.
This food is so great.
53
00:02:35,945 --> 00:02:37,729
I started putting on weight
while I was in the army.
54
00:02:37,780 --> 00:02:38,947
And they were looking
to start doing
55
00:02:38,981 --> 00:02:40,615
some downsizing anyway.
56
00:02:40,649 --> 00:02:42,117
So the easiest way
for me to get out
57
00:02:42,151 --> 00:02:43,735
was to take a medical
discharge.
58
00:02:43,786 --> 00:02:46,204
And the medical discharge
was because I was fat.
59
00:02:46,238 --> 00:02:47,956
I look at that period
of my life
60
00:02:47,990 --> 00:02:49,491
as an absolute failure.
61
00:02:49,542 --> 00:02:51,960
My father
just passed away in 2008.
62
00:02:51,994 --> 00:02:53,578
We were really close.
63
00:02:53,629 --> 00:02:57,031
And I just don't want
our child to have to...
64
00:02:57,049 --> 00:02:59,300
you know, I want them
to have their dad.
65
00:02:59,335 --> 00:03:02,504
And I want them to, you know,
66
00:03:02,571 --> 00:03:05,373
I want him
to walk her down the aisle.
67
00:03:05,407 --> 00:03:07,075
I didn't get to have that.
68
00:03:07,109 --> 00:03:12,564
I want him to be there
and be the best dad that he can.
69
00:03:12,648 --> 00:03:14,516
Sorry.
70
00:03:14,550 --> 00:03:16,267
You don't want to hear
that stuff from people.
71
00:03:16,318 --> 00:03:19,571
"I'm afraid you're going
to die."
72
00:03:19,605 --> 00:03:20,939
All right, you're all packed.
73
00:03:20,990 --> 00:03:22,557
Yeah.
74
00:03:22,608 --> 00:03:25,326
This six months
is about my child and my wife.
75
00:03:25,361 --> 00:03:28,079
I want to give Jackie
a better life
76
00:03:28,113 --> 00:03:29,581
than what we have right now.
77
00:03:32,868 --> 00:03:38,173
My name is Patty.
I'm 59 years old.
78
00:03:38,207 --> 00:03:42,710
I weighed 88 pounds
when I got married at 17.
79
00:03:42,744 --> 00:03:47,932
My weight problem didn't start
until the death of my son.
80
00:03:47,967 --> 00:03:50,802
He was 23 years old.
81
00:03:54,756 --> 00:03:58,943
I think we all turned to food
after Nick died.
82
00:03:58,978 --> 00:04:01,646
Mm. Yummy. Can we pull
the table to me?
83
00:04:01,697 --> 00:04:03,198
'Cause I can't get to it.
84
00:04:03,232 --> 00:04:05,867
Yes. Thank you.
85
00:04:05,901 --> 00:04:07,952
Food is comfort.
Food is love.
86
00:04:07,987 --> 00:04:09,737
Pasta salad, please.
87
00:04:09,771 --> 00:04:14,576
Food is always there.
Food never ever lets you down.
88
00:04:14,610 --> 00:04:19,047
But I feel like I've eaten
myself into a chair.
89
00:04:19,081 --> 00:04:21,916
I want to lose all this.
I need to lose all this.
90
00:04:21,950 --> 00:04:23,885
My arms are fat.
91
00:04:23,919 --> 00:04:27,305
Here, believe it or not.
And all this.
92
00:04:27,339 --> 00:04:30,642
All right, now,
I can try to get down.
93
00:04:30,726 --> 00:04:33,811
You see how hard it is.
Getting up is way, way harder.
94
00:04:33,846 --> 00:04:36,197
I want to hold
my grandkids' hands.
95
00:04:36,265 --> 00:04:38,182
I want to walk and hold
their hands.
96
00:04:38,234 --> 00:04:40,935
I've missed so much
since they were babies.
97
00:04:41,003 --> 00:04:43,071
Bye, honey.
See you in a little bit.
98
00:04:43,138 --> 00:04:44,138
Hey, where are you going?
99
00:04:44,173 --> 00:04:45,573
I know what she thinks:
100
00:04:45,608 --> 00:04:47,842
I don't love her
as much as I used to
101
00:04:47,910 --> 00:04:52,146
because I don't come around
very often, you know.
102
00:04:52,214 --> 00:04:53,615
And it's not true.
103
00:04:53,666 --> 00:04:55,116
I just can't see her like this.
104
00:04:55,150 --> 00:04:56,868
You know, I just can't.
105
00:04:56,919 --> 00:04:59,003
I'm so sorry I got this way.
106
00:04:59,038 --> 00:05:00,838
I'm so sorry I'm so ashamed.
107
00:05:00,873 --> 00:05:03,024
Oh, my God.
108
00:05:03,042 --> 00:05:05,176
I want my independence back.
109
00:05:22,278 --> 00:05:23,645
Hi, how are you?
110
00:05:23,712 --> 00:05:25,663
- Good. How are you?
- Welcome.
111
00:05:25,714 --> 00:05:27,565
Today, mark and Patty
are taking the first steps
112
00:05:27,616 --> 00:05:29,117
of reclaiming their lives.
113
00:05:29,151 --> 00:05:30,618
This is your nametag
that we ask that you wear
114
00:05:30,653 --> 00:05:32,070
the whole time
that you're here.
115
00:05:32,121 --> 00:05:34,822
Okay.
116
00:05:34,856 --> 00:05:36,708
- Okay. Thanks, Allison.
- Thank you. Welcome.
117
00:05:36,792 --> 00:05:39,010
I think that people come here
primarily with a focus
118
00:05:39,061 --> 00:05:40,528
on losing weight.
119
00:05:40,562 --> 00:05:43,247
But to accomplish
that long-term goal,
120
00:05:43,299 --> 00:05:45,216
it's about developing
the lifestyles
121
00:05:45,250 --> 00:05:48,136
that will ultimately
sustain it.
122
00:05:48,203 --> 00:05:50,037
Weight follows behavior.
123
00:05:50,055 --> 00:05:51,506
And in six months,
124
00:05:51,540 --> 00:05:53,441
a lot of behavioral change
can occur.
125
00:05:53,509 --> 00:05:54,809
We're gonna get you over
to your villa.
126
00:05:54,843 --> 00:05:56,227
Cool.
127
00:05:56,261 --> 00:05:57,812
So I have some specific
fitness goals.
128
00:05:57,846 --> 00:05:59,714
Okay.
129
00:05:59,732 --> 00:06:02,350
My hometown is having
its very first half-marathon.
130
00:06:02,401 --> 00:06:06,187
- Oh, my gosh. Really?
- Yeah. And, uh...
131
00:06:06,221 --> 00:06:07,622
So don't tell me.
132
00:06:07,656 --> 00:06:08,940
You want to do
the half-marathon.
133
00:06:09,024 --> 00:06:10,892
I do. I do.
134
00:06:10,909 --> 00:06:14,278
When mark told me that he
wanted to run a half-marathon,
135
00:06:14,330 --> 00:06:16,164
there is no way
he's gonna be able...
136
00:06:16,198 --> 00:06:19,434
does he even understand
what a half-marathon is?
137
00:06:19,468 --> 00:06:23,838
- God.
- You all right?
138
00:06:23,872 --> 00:06:25,456
Yeah.
139
00:06:25,507 --> 00:06:27,008
Want me to grab your suitcase
for a while?
140
00:06:27,075 --> 00:06:28,459
- No, I got it.
- Are you sure?
141
00:06:28,510 --> 00:06:30,244
- Yeah.
- He can't even run right now.
142
00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:31,763
He can't even jog right now.
143
00:06:31,797 --> 00:06:35,717
He's gonna have to start walking
miles a day.
144
00:06:35,751 --> 00:06:38,853
Just start walking.
145
00:06:38,887 --> 00:06:40,922
'Cause right now he can't
even make it to his villa.
146
00:06:47,312 --> 00:06:49,113
- Hey, Patty.
- Hi, Bob. How you doing?
147
00:06:49,148 --> 00:06:50,748
I'm good. Thank you.
148
00:06:50,799 --> 00:06:53,234
My first weigh-in
at the facility here,
149
00:06:53,268 --> 00:06:54,769
I really was scared.
150
00:06:54,787 --> 00:06:57,105
It seems like I eat
all day sometimes.
151
00:06:57,172 --> 00:06:58,873
We want to get a reference
point for that weight.
152
00:06:58,907 --> 00:07:00,908
So let's have you step up
on the scale there.
153
00:07:09,468 --> 00:07:12,253
Your starting weight
is 312.8.
154
00:07:12,304 --> 00:07:13,654
Looking at that,
what do you think?
155
00:07:13,672 --> 00:07:15,339
Is that about where you thought
you were?
156
00:07:15,391 --> 00:07:19,126
Yeah.
I lost a couple pounds.
157
00:07:19,178 --> 00:07:21,846
Don't underestimate the value
of every loss.
158
00:07:21,897 --> 00:07:23,181
If you're moving
in the right direction,
159
00:07:23,232 --> 00:07:24,131
we're happy about that.
160
00:07:24,149 --> 00:07:25,633
Oh, boy.
161
00:07:25,667 --> 00:07:29,153
I've got 200 pounds to lose.
162
00:07:29,188 --> 00:07:32,440
How the heck
am I gonna do this?
163
00:07:55,047 --> 00:07:57,765
One of the things you probably
heard before is this BMI.
164
00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:00,968
- I am two-thirds fat?
- It's somewhat similar.
165
00:08:00,986 --> 00:08:03,504
2% body fat.
But it's not exactly the same.
166
00:08:03,522 --> 00:08:05,189
Well, it's about right
'cause I weigh three times
167
00:08:05,224 --> 00:08:06,908
what I should weigh.
168
00:08:06,942 --> 00:08:08,993
There's a body with
200 pounds of fat on it.
169
00:08:09,027 --> 00:08:10,278
And here's the good news:
170
00:08:10,312 --> 00:08:12,313
When people lose
a relatively small amount
171
00:08:12,347 --> 00:08:13,898
of their total weight,
172
00:08:13,949 --> 00:08:15,950
their health improves
fairly dramatically.
173
00:08:15,984 --> 00:08:17,118
Okay.
174
00:08:17,185 --> 00:08:19,570
That first 10, 15, 20%
175
00:08:19,621 --> 00:08:21,489
is gonna make a big difference
in your health.
176
00:08:21,507 --> 00:08:23,724
I think it will make a big
difference in your mobility.
177
00:08:23,742 --> 00:08:24,992
And that's
what we're moving towards.
178
00:08:25,010 --> 00:08:29,029
Great.
179
00:08:29,047 --> 00:08:30,298
Hey, mark.
How you doing?
180
00:08:30,332 --> 00:08:32,083
- Good, Bob. Good.
- Nice to see you.
181
00:08:32,134 --> 00:08:33,901
All right,
so this is the fun part.
182
00:08:33,919 --> 00:08:35,219
I'm gonna have you step
on the scale
183
00:08:35,254 --> 00:08:37,355
and see what we got.
184
00:08:44,112 --> 00:08:47,648
Wow. Um, that was my weight
back in August.
185
00:08:47,683 --> 00:08:51,769
I thought I'd lost some.
Uh, wow.
186
00:08:51,820 --> 00:08:53,070
The last time
I'd weighed myself,
187
00:08:53,105 --> 00:08:55,456
I was well under 500 pounds.
188
00:08:55,491 --> 00:08:57,692
Sometimes people can creep up
and not know it.
189
00:08:57,726 --> 00:08:59,494
And you want to catch this
on the way up.
190
00:08:59,528 --> 00:09:01,262
Okay.
That was devastating.
191
00:09:01,296 --> 00:09:03,498
How did that happen?
192
00:09:03,532 --> 00:09:07,335
All right,
just a little stick here.
193
00:09:07,369 --> 00:09:10,755
Just put a little pressure
on there for me.
194
00:09:22,885 --> 00:09:24,886
I don't know if you know much
about diabetes.
195
00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:29,106
Diabetes is an insidious,
diabolical, and nasty disease.
196
00:09:29,141 --> 00:09:31,442
It is a disease
that you don't want.
197
00:09:31,476 --> 00:09:34,445
I mean, there's a lot of things
that are beginning to stack up.
198
00:09:34,479 --> 00:09:36,096
And you're really getting
at this
199
00:09:36,114 --> 00:09:39,817
before you got the serious
consequences of these issues.
200
00:09:42,454 --> 00:09:44,205
You're killing yourself.
201
00:09:44,239 --> 00:09:46,040
You got to do something better
202
00:09:46,074 --> 00:09:48,242
and be there
for my wife and my child.
203
00:09:48,310 --> 00:09:51,846
I started really seriously
thinking about my weight loss.
204
00:09:55,384 --> 00:09:57,501
Coming up on Heavy...
205
00:09:57,553 --> 00:09:59,020
Well, you got to get
the chocolate rainbows.
206
00:09:59,054 --> 00:10:01,255
When Adam took me
into the weight room,
207
00:10:01,289 --> 00:10:03,324
I felt overwhelmed.
208
00:10:03,358 --> 00:10:04,475
- Are you ready?
- Scared. No.
209
00:10:04,509 --> 00:10:06,227
- All right.
- Oh, my gosh.
210
00:10:06,261 --> 00:10:07,695
How am I gonna do this?
211
00:10:15,816 --> 00:10:17,817
You may be concerned
about your ability
212
00:10:17,868 --> 00:10:19,719
to participate
in our fitness program.
213
00:10:19,737 --> 00:10:21,237
It is a challenging program.
214
00:10:21,288 --> 00:10:22,789
And if you haven't been
exercising regularly
215
00:10:22,823 --> 00:10:24,874
before you came,
you might wonder, can you do it?
216
00:10:24,909 --> 00:10:27,544
And the fact of the matter
is that you can.
217
00:10:27,578 --> 00:10:29,295
This is a really exciting time
218
00:10:29,330 --> 00:10:31,497
because in these first few days
of the program,
219
00:10:31,531 --> 00:10:32,966
we're gonna push them
to their limits.
220
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:34,384
Okay.
Please start it slow.
221
00:10:34,418 --> 00:10:35,701
I'm starting it slow.
222
00:10:35,753 --> 00:10:37,770
When Adam took me
into the weight room,
223
00:10:37,805 --> 00:10:40,740
I felt overwhelmed.
224
00:10:40,808 --> 00:10:41,891
- Are you ready?
- Scared. No.
225
00:10:41,926 --> 00:10:43,542
- All right.
- Oh, my gosh.
226
00:10:43,594 --> 00:10:46,429
How am I gonna do this?
Starting now, all right?
227
00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:48,565
Pick it up a little bit.
There you go.
228
00:10:48,599 --> 00:10:49,882
That's what I'm talking about.
229
00:10:49,900 --> 00:10:50,917
Oh, my God. Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
230
00:10:50,935 --> 00:10:53,653
Holy mother of Mary.
231
00:10:53,687 --> 00:10:56,739
Is that too fast?
How you feeling? Just 30.
232
00:10:56,774 --> 00:10:58,241
Look.
Just don't go any faster.
233
00:10:58,275 --> 00:11:01,110
You're already at 17.
Longer strides.
234
00:11:01,161 --> 00:11:02,946
Lengthen that stride
a little bit.
235
00:11:02,997 --> 00:11:05,782
One by one, he showed me
236
00:11:05,833 --> 00:11:07,617
all the things that I can do.
237
00:11:07,668 --> 00:11:09,252
You're gonna be lifting them
out to the side
238
00:11:09,286 --> 00:11:10,787
and back down, okay?
239
00:11:10,838 --> 00:11:12,455
Exactly. Yeah.
240
00:11:12,506 --> 00:11:15,258
And it was so less
intimidating.
241
00:11:18,629 --> 00:11:20,680
I love it, guys.
You're doing great. Lower.
242
00:11:20,714 --> 00:11:22,982
There.
That's what I'm talking about.
243
00:11:23,017 --> 00:11:24,851
You got to strengthen
your back out. Good.
244
00:11:24,885 --> 00:11:26,219
Use those quads though.
245
00:11:26,253 --> 00:11:27,604
I want you to push up
with your heels,
246
00:11:27,638 --> 00:11:29,022
not your toes.
247
00:11:29,056 --> 00:11:30,690
Crush my fingers.
There you go. Good.
248
00:11:30,724 --> 00:11:32,358
Keep the weight on the heel
of that front foot.
249
00:11:32,426 --> 00:11:33,610
That's perfect.
16.
250
00:11:33,644 --> 00:11:35,061
I know you want it.
One more.
251
00:11:35,112 --> 00:11:39,932
- 17. 18.
- Move that core. That's it.
252
00:11:39,950 --> 00:11:41,934
- I don't have a core.
- 9. Yes, you do.
253
00:11:41,986 --> 00:11:43,870
- I'm, like...
- It's there. I'm telling you.
254
00:11:43,904 --> 00:11:46,289
10. That's it. Good.
Good job. Relax.
255
00:11:46,323 --> 00:11:49,125
Oh, my God.
256
00:11:49,159 --> 00:11:51,661
- Good work.
- Oh, my God. My thighs.
257
00:11:51,712 --> 00:11:53,246
- Feel them burning?
- My thighs are burning.
258
00:11:53,297 --> 00:11:54,780
Cool down.
Catch your breaths.
259
00:12:07,428 --> 00:12:08,761
One of the concerns
that most people have
260
00:12:08,795 --> 00:12:10,796
is that they're gonna be
on an aggressive,
261
00:12:10,848 --> 00:12:13,132
pretty low-calorie plan,
about 1200 calories.
262
00:12:13,150 --> 00:12:15,601
What's seaweed taste like,
I wonder?
263
00:12:15,635 --> 00:12:17,603
Ultimately, what food is
and what it's supposed to be
264
00:12:17,637 --> 00:12:18,871
is fuel.
265
00:12:18,906 --> 00:12:20,473
I'm counting calories
in my head.
266
00:12:20,491 --> 00:12:21,640
It can provide pleasure.
267
00:12:21,659 --> 00:12:22,942
It can provide lots of things.
268
00:12:22,993 --> 00:12:24,310
But basically,
that's what it is.
269
00:12:24,328 --> 00:12:25,812
It's fuel.
270
00:12:29,199 --> 00:12:30,416
Bend your knee a little bit.
271
00:12:30,451 --> 00:12:31,751
There you go.
272
00:12:31,785 --> 00:12:33,419
The biggest benefits
of strength training
273
00:12:33,454 --> 00:12:35,171
are your ability
just to move naturally
274
00:12:35,205 --> 00:12:36,923
throughout the course of the day
without pain.
275
00:12:36,957 --> 00:12:39,375
I don't want there
to be any pain.
276
00:12:39,426 --> 00:12:41,794
They always hurt.
But, yeah, it's not...
277
00:12:41,845 --> 00:12:43,963
- but is it mild?
- Yeah. Yes.
278
00:12:49,670 --> 00:12:51,721
I figured that I would be
working out a lot.
279
00:12:51,805 --> 00:12:54,023
Come on! Good!
280
00:12:54,058 --> 00:12:56,442
But that first week
was intense.
281
00:12:56,477 --> 00:12:58,478
Take it out! Take it out!
Take it out!
282
00:12:58,545 --> 00:13:00,012
I've never worked out so hard.
283
00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:02,732
Take it out, mark.
284
00:13:06,070 --> 00:13:07,787
- Hi, Patty.
- Hi, Adam.
285
00:13:07,854 --> 00:13:09,405
- Are you excited?
- Yeah.
286
00:13:09,456 --> 00:13:12,875
- Nervous?
- Scared too. Oh, boy.
287
00:13:21,769 --> 00:13:24,053
- All right. That's great.
- No.
288
00:13:24,088 --> 00:13:25,471
- Yeah.
- Are you kidding?
289
00:13:25,506 --> 00:13:26,973
- That's great.
- Are you kidding?
290
00:13:27,007 --> 00:13:29,642
- No, I'm not kidding.
- Aah! Oh, my God.
291
00:13:29,676 --> 00:13:30,710
That's great.
292
00:13:30,744 --> 00:13:33,579
When I saw 303 on the scale,
293
00:13:33,614 --> 00:13:36,382
I was thinking "this can't be.
294
00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:38,935
I didn't do this."
Oh, my gosh.
295
00:13:38,986 --> 00:13:40,653
It's only gonna get better,
right?
296
00:13:40,687 --> 00:13:42,388
The more you keep moving,
the more you're doing.
297
00:13:42,406 --> 00:13:43,823
Oh, I'm shocked.
298
00:13:43,857 --> 00:13:45,691
I thought it was gonna be
two or three pounds.
299
00:13:45,725 --> 00:13:48,244
For myself, I was ecstatic.
I thought that was great.
300
00:13:51,865 --> 00:13:54,066
Morning, mark.
How you doing, man?
301
00:13:54,084 --> 00:13:55,668
You ready?
Yeah.
302
00:13:55,702 --> 00:13:59,071
My initial weigh-in
was quite shocking.
303
00:13:59,089 --> 00:14:01,791
I was, like, "wow, really?
How did that happen?"
304
00:14:01,842 --> 00:14:04,043
All right, let's see it.
One week down.
305
00:14:04,077 --> 00:14:06,429
One week.
306
00:14:12,953 --> 00:14:16,088
That's 30 pounds.
307
00:14:16,106 --> 00:14:19,142
I lost freaking 30 pounds!
308
00:14:19,193 --> 00:14:21,794
Man!
Nice. That's awesome.
309
00:14:21,812 --> 00:14:23,563
Holy crap!
310
00:14:23,597 --> 00:14:27,650
30 pounds! I've never lost
30 pounds in a week.
311
00:14:27,701 --> 00:14:28,934
I don't think...
I didn't even think
312
00:14:28,952 --> 00:14:29,952
that was possible.
313
00:14:31,538 --> 00:14:32,622
I left the 500s
314
00:14:32,656 --> 00:14:34,607
and I skipped the 490s
altogether.
315
00:14:34,641 --> 00:14:37,126
30 pounds!
All right, man. Good job.
316
00:14:37,161 --> 00:14:38,795
That's great.
Way to go.
317
00:14:38,829 --> 00:14:41,080
Holy sh...Ah!
318
00:14:41,131 --> 00:14:42,715
For mark to lose 30 pounds
this week
319
00:14:42,749 --> 00:14:44,717
is sort of an amazing
accomplishment.
320
00:14:44,751 --> 00:14:46,419
But he needs to understand
that a lot of that
321
00:14:46,470 --> 00:14:47,420
is water weight.
322
00:14:47,471 --> 00:14:49,639
And that's good.
323
00:14:49,673 --> 00:14:51,591
He didn't need to be carrying
that much water weight around.
324
00:14:51,608 --> 00:14:52,758
30 pounds.
325
00:14:52,826 --> 00:14:54,010
But he certainly can't expect
326
00:14:54,061 --> 00:14:55,978
this kind of weight loss
every week.
327
00:15:10,911 --> 00:15:13,279
Even though I was really happy
I hit that goal,
328
00:15:13,313 --> 00:15:15,715
I really wanted
to push myself physically.
329
00:15:15,749 --> 00:15:17,166
'Cause it would be so easy
to be, like, "yeah,
330
00:15:17,201 --> 00:15:19,118
I lost 30 pounds. Ah."
331
00:15:19,169 --> 00:15:20,786
And in the grand scheme
of things,
332
00:15:20,838 --> 00:15:22,788
it's just the beginning,
you know?
333
00:15:22,822 --> 00:15:25,157
And that I want to keep
that momentum going.
334
00:15:27,461 --> 00:15:30,329
Holy cow.
You're going fast today.
335
00:15:30,380 --> 00:15:32,198
This is the fastest
you've gone yet, mark.
336
00:15:32,266 --> 00:15:33,766
Is it?
337
00:15:33,800 --> 00:15:35,935
I feel such a positive change
in myself
338
00:15:35,969 --> 00:15:39,505
just by what I've learned
and what I'm eating.
339
00:15:39,573 --> 00:15:41,858
I have more energy
than I ever had before.
340
00:15:41,892 --> 00:15:43,008
- Here we go.
- Yeah.
341
00:15:43,026 --> 00:15:44,843
Oh, my God.
342
00:15:44,895 --> 00:15:46,863
I can't even keep up with you.
You're so fast.
343
00:15:46,914 --> 00:15:49,115
There's this half-marathon
that I'm gonna participate in
344
00:15:49,149 --> 00:15:50,666
at home.
345
00:15:50,734 --> 00:15:52,318
In my head,
I'm gonna cross the finish line.
346
00:15:52,336 --> 00:15:54,353
There are my friends.
There's my wife.
347
00:15:54,371 --> 00:15:56,372
And I get a big kiss
and a big hug from everybody.
348
00:15:56,406 --> 00:15:59,208
You know?
And that's my motivation.
349
00:15:59,243 --> 00:16:00,576
That's what I keep thinking.
350
00:16:00,627 --> 00:16:02,295
Mark is a man with a mission.
351
00:16:02,329 --> 00:16:04,196
He's got a new baby on the way.
352
00:16:04,214 --> 00:16:05,548
All right!
353
00:16:05,582 --> 00:16:07,750
He goes from the minute
he gets up
354
00:16:07,801 --> 00:16:10,670
until he puts his head
on that pillow at night.
355
00:16:10,721 --> 00:16:11,870
This is the longest we've gone.
356
00:16:11,889 --> 00:16:13,072
I know.
357
00:16:13,106 --> 00:16:14,873
It's extremely hard
358
00:16:14,892 --> 00:16:17,376
to be paired with someone
that's constantly just
359
00:16:17,427 --> 00:16:21,147
"go go go" when my mind
and body are telling me
360
00:16:21,181 --> 00:16:24,016
"stop stop stop.
Slow down. Slow down."
361
00:16:39,666 --> 00:16:44,370
The grocery store...
Confronting our demons.
362
00:16:44,388 --> 00:16:46,505
We don't have to wait
till we're home.
363
00:16:46,540 --> 00:16:50,376
This is the perfect time
to practice.
364
00:16:50,444 --> 00:16:53,613
When you go in today,
pick ten things.
365
00:16:53,630 --> 00:16:56,682
I want you
to use your imagination
366
00:16:56,717 --> 00:17:01,587
and pretend that you might
be sad or anxious
367
00:17:01,605 --> 00:17:04,890
or getting ready to binge.
368
00:17:06,693 --> 00:17:09,195
- This.
- Do they have any hot dogs?
369
00:17:09,229 --> 00:17:10,963
Yeah. There they are.
Cheese.
370
00:17:11,031 --> 00:17:13,098
I need, like,
a block of cheese.
371
00:17:13,116 --> 00:17:14,650
Do you guys have
fried chicken here?
372
00:17:14,701 --> 00:17:17,737
These are the biggest
tortillas they have.
373
00:17:17,754 --> 00:17:20,673
Well, you got to get
the chocolate rainbows.
374
00:17:20,707 --> 00:17:22,408
- How you doing?
- I'm good.
375
00:17:22,426 --> 00:17:28,297
Okay, uh, if we had
to pick one out of those...
376
00:17:28,348 --> 00:17:29,715
pick any one,
it doesn't matter.
377
00:17:29,750 --> 00:17:32,785
- Gonna be the hot dogs.
- Okay.
378
00:17:32,803 --> 00:17:37,840
Hot dogs. Can you see on there
how many servings there are?
379
00:17:37,891 --> 00:17:39,008
One hot dog is one serving.
380
00:17:39,059 --> 00:17:40,259
One serving.
All right.
381
00:17:40,310 --> 00:17:43,295
And how many calories
per serving?
382
00:17:43,313 --> 00:17:45,964
- 180.
- 180.
383
00:17:45,983 --> 00:17:48,851
Now how many would you have?
I would eat the whole thing.
384
00:17:48,902 --> 00:17:50,686
Okay, you would eat
the whole thing.
385
00:17:50,737 --> 00:17:55,174
So eight times what?
It's 1440 calories.
386
00:17:55,242 --> 00:17:57,443
1440 calories. Okay.
387
00:17:57,461 --> 00:18:03,382
Patty, let me give this to you.
388
00:18:03,417 --> 00:18:06,519
How many servings there?
Eight.
389
00:18:06,536 --> 00:18:07,920
How many calories
would that be?
390
00:18:07,954 --> 00:18:11,624
- 290 for one donut.
- For one donut.
391
00:18:11,692 --> 00:18:13,709
How many would you have,
do you think?
392
00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:16,212
I'd eat the whole box.
Easily.
393
00:18:16,263 --> 00:18:18,814
Yeah. So what's one
of your goals?
394
00:18:18,865 --> 00:18:20,850
I want to run
a half-marathon.
395
00:18:20,934 --> 00:18:23,219
And, Patty, who do you want
to spend time with?
396
00:18:23,270 --> 00:18:25,321
- My grandkids.
- Your grandchildren.
397
00:18:25,389 --> 00:18:27,356
And what do you want
to do with your grandchildren?
398
00:18:27,391 --> 00:18:30,643
- Run and play.
- Run and play.
399
00:18:30,677 --> 00:18:32,945
Even just walk
and hold their hands.
400
00:18:32,979 --> 00:18:34,730
Okay.
401
00:18:34,781 --> 00:18:36,899
It's like picking food
over my grandkids.
402
00:18:36,950 --> 00:18:41,487
I can't do that.
Like what, Patty?
403
00:18:41,538 --> 00:18:43,355
It's like I've been
picking food
404
00:18:43,373 --> 00:18:44,740
over my grandkids.
405
00:18:44,791 --> 00:18:46,826
I can't do that.
- Mm-hmm.
406
00:18:46,843 --> 00:18:52,331
That's horrifying.
My God. Oh, my God.
407
00:18:57,170 --> 00:19:01,390
I know that you are
a very determined woman.
408
00:19:03,143 --> 00:19:04,927
And this guy...
He's very determined.
409
00:19:04,978 --> 00:19:09,732
Yeah.
Keep your goals right there.
410
00:19:09,766 --> 00:19:12,435
Okay? Right in front of you.
Okay?
411
00:19:12,486 --> 00:19:14,403
And sometimes to reach goals,
412
00:19:14,438 --> 00:19:17,222
you have to do
very difficult things.
413
00:19:18,692 --> 00:19:20,776
I want you to put these back.
414
00:19:25,231 --> 00:19:28,167
Okay?
Okay.
415
00:19:28,218 --> 00:19:29,869
When I put the food back,
416
00:19:29,920 --> 00:19:33,789
I was choosing my life
over food.
417
00:19:33,874 --> 00:19:35,808
Good-bye, cheese.
418
00:19:35,842 --> 00:19:37,560
I wanted those cheese danishes.
419
00:19:37,611 --> 00:19:40,412
I wanted those potato chips.
I wanted those hot dogs.
420
00:19:40,430 --> 00:19:42,131
It really taught me a lot
421
00:19:42,182 --> 00:19:46,118
about how deep this addiction
that I have is.
422
00:19:46,153 --> 00:19:48,420
It never should have gotten
this far.
423
00:19:48,455 --> 00:19:51,457
It never should have gotten
this out of hand.
424
00:19:51,525 --> 00:19:55,260
- Coming up on Heavy...
- I gained three pounds?
425
00:19:55,278 --> 00:19:56,645
My God.
And later...
426
00:19:56,696 --> 00:19:59,031
I never thought
I would ever be a dad.
427
00:19:59,065 --> 00:20:01,484
I never in my wildest dreams
did I ever think
428
00:20:01,535 --> 00:20:03,101
I'd be a dad.
429
00:20:03,120 --> 00:20:05,905
And now I'm gonna be one.
430
00:20:12,585 --> 00:20:13,868
Three to go.
431
00:20:13,953 --> 00:20:15,537
It's day 63
432
00:20:15,588 --> 00:20:18,039
and I'm getting
all the exercise I can
433
00:20:18,090 --> 00:20:20,425
to be a healthy man for my wife
and my child.
434
00:20:20,459 --> 00:20:21,826
This is the longest we've gone.
435
00:20:21,844 --> 00:20:23,545
I know.
436
00:20:23,596 --> 00:20:25,046
I've had a lot
of physical changes in myself
437
00:20:25,097 --> 00:20:26,497
since I've been here.
438
00:20:26,565 --> 00:20:29,000
I can stand for way longer
periods of time
439
00:20:29,018 --> 00:20:30,769
without back pain.
440
00:20:30,803 --> 00:20:32,804
My core strength
is really good.
441
00:20:32,838 --> 00:20:35,523
I can walk longer.
I can walk more often.
442
00:20:35,558 --> 00:20:36,841
I've accomplished a lot
443
00:20:36,892 --> 00:20:39,394
that I never
could have accomplished at home.
444
00:20:44,349 --> 00:20:45,784
- How you doing, bud?
- Doing good.
445
00:20:45,818 --> 00:20:47,402
- How's the training going?
- Oh, fantastic.
446
00:20:47,486 --> 00:20:48,820
- Fantastic?
- Yeah.
447
00:20:48,871 --> 00:20:50,354
Ran seven and a half minutes
yesterday.
448
00:20:50,372 --> 00:20:51,990
Awesome. Just keeps
getting better, huh?
449
00:20:52,024 --> 00:20:55,026
- Yeah. You ready for this?
- I'm ready.
450
00:21:01,333 --> 00:21:04,302
All right. Nice.
Down to 450, dude.
451
00:21:04,336 --> 00:21:06,337
- I'll take it.
- I lost seven pounds.
452
00:21:06,405 --> 00:21:10,475
So that's 67 pounds.
Yeeeeeah!
453
00:21:10,509 --> 00:21:14,212
Oh, it feels great.
454
00:21:14,246 --> 00:21:16,564
You ready?
Ready to rock?
455
00:21:16,599 --> 00:21:18,600
- No.
- No? Not yet?
456
00:21:18,651 --> 00:21:22,587
- No. Scared.
- Yeah. You've got it, girl.
457
00:21:22,621 --> 00:21:25,440
I don't think so.
458
00:21:32,998 --> 00:21:37,619
All right. 297.
How do you feel?
459
00:21:37,670 --> 00:21:41,739
I gained three pounds?
My God.
460
00:21:41,790 --> 00:21:43,875
I don't really know
where to go from here.
461
00:21:43,926 --> 00:21:46,244
It's just very,
very discouraging.
462
00:21:46,262 --> 00:21:48,713
It's very, very discouraging.
463
00:21:48,731 --> 00:21:50,882
What is wrong?
464
00:21:50,916 --> 00:21:54,719
Don't let it get to you.
We're all here to help you.
465
00:21:54,770 --> 00:21:56,921
- What is wrong?
- It's just one week.
466
00:21:56,972 --> 00:21:59,274
You can't think
about the numbers like that.
467
00:21:59,308 --> 00:22:01,609
Well, I have to.
It's why I'm here.
468
00:22:01,644 --> 00:22:04,762
I know. I know.
And it's frustrating.
469
00:22:04,780 --> 00:22:09,534
'Cause you worked really hard.
There's nothing you can say.
470
00:22:09,568 --> 00:22:12,654
It's a nightmare.
It's bad.
471
00:22:12,705 --> 00:22:14,205
- We're gonna be all right.
- What do I do?
472
00:22:14,273 --> 00:22:15,940
I don't know what to do.
473
00:22:15,958 --> 00:22:19,177
I really just don't feel
like doing anything today.
474
00:22:19,211 --> 00:22:23,331
I'm really discouraged.
475
00:22:23,382 --> 00:22:27,335
I don't know what else to say.
476
00:22:27,386 --> 00:22:29,754
I just don't know
what else to say.
477
00:22:48,941 --> 00:22:51,943
So I just kind of feel hopeless
478
00:22:51,977 --> 00:22:55,747
and a failure.
479
00:22:55,798 --> 00:22:58,216
So what's the feeling
like a failure about?
480
00:22:58,250 --> 00:23:02,036
- Uh, oh, my God.
- It's okay.
481
00:23:02,087 --> 00:23:04,822
It's okay.
Let the feelings come out.
482
00:23:04,840 --> 00:23:07,125
Sometimes it's good
to get those feelings out.
483
00:23:07,159 --> 00:23:09,844
I just... I...
484
00:23:09,878 --> 00:23:14,215
I tried to raise my kids
opposite
485
00:23:14,266 --> 00:23:16,267
of how I'd been raised.
486
00:23:16,335 --> 00:23:18,052
And it just didn't work.
487
00:23:18,103 --> 00:23:20,805
My two youngest kids
have issues with weight.
488
00:23:20,823 --> 00:23:23,942
My daughter's as Heavy as I am.
489
00:23:23,976 --> 00:23:27,729
Do you blame yourself for that?
490
00:23:27,780 --> 00:23:28,980
I don't know.
491
00:23:29,031 --> 00:23:31,482
I think I blame myself
for everything.
492
00:23:31,533 --> 00:23:33,868
You know, I lost one boy
to drugs
493
00:23:33,902 --> 00:23:36,988
and I have a 41-year-old
in rehab.
494
00:23:37,022 --> 00:23:38,906
And I just don't get it.
495
00:23:38,958 --> 00:23:40,375
What can you say to yourself
496
00:23:40,409 --> 00:23:42,043
to give yourself
a little bit of hope
497
00:23:42,077 --> 00:23:44,295
that things can get better?
498
00:23:44,330 --> 00:23:45,763
I don't know.
"It's just a bad day.
499
00:23:45,798 --> 00:23:48,800
Tomorrow will be better."
Yeah, exactly.
500
00:23:48,834 --> 00:23:52,236
And today you're tired?
Yeah.
501
00:23:52,304 --> 00:23:57,008
I'll get some sleep and tomorrow
I'm gonna be better.
502
00:24:09,071 --> 00:24:12,323
My name is Mike,
and I'm Patty's oldest son.
503
00:24:12,358 --> 00:24:14,225
I haven't seen my mother
in ten years.
504
00:24:16,595 --> 00:24:21,949
Having come out of rehab
a month and a half ago,
505
00:24:22,034 --> 00:24:25,236
I wanted to surprise her
and make amends
506
00:24:25,254 --> 00:24:27,705
for a decade of lost time.
507
00:24:27,739 --> 00:24:30,792
Hi, mom.
Aaaaaaah!
508
00:24:30,843 --> 00:24:35,463
Oh, my God!
509
00:24:37,950 --> 00:24:40,918
I haven't seen you for so long.
510
00:24:40,969 --> 00:24:44,639
Just never imagined...
I never imagined.
511
00:24:44,690 --> 00:24:47,758
I never imagined.
512
00:24:51,263 --> 00:24:54,532
I am ecstatic beyond belief.
513
00:24:54,566 --> 00:24:56,934
I was overwhelmed with emotion.
514
00:24:56,952 --> 00:25:00,154
I was...
515
00:25:00,239 --> 00:25:01,605
It was crazy.
516
00:25:01,657 --> 00:25:04,542
I just... I could hold my baby
again, you know?
517
00:25:04,576 --> 00:25:07,245
I usually use a cane.
518
00:25:07,279 --> 00:25:09,297
Having not seen my mother
in ten years,
519
00:25:09,331 --> 00:25:11,999
she's put on an unprecedented
amount of weight.
520
00:25:12,051 --> 00:25:16,721
I know I'm done avoiding
problems and people.
521
00:25:16,755 --> 00:25:18,389
And I came
to that understanding
522
00:25:18,424 --> 00:25:20,007
through my own personal
rehabilitation.
523
00:25:20,059 --> 00:25:23,811
And I knew, you know,
I could help my mom.
524
00:25:23,846 --> 00:25:28,282
Finally.
I know I, uh...
525
00:25:28,333 --> 00:25:33,321
I haven't...
Been a good...Son....
526
00:25:33,355 --> 00:25:36,824
For a long time.
It's okay.
527
00:25:36,859 --> 00:25:39,610
Jeez. So many years.
528
00:25:39,628 --> 00:25:43,915
You beat your addiction.
I'm trying to beat mine.
529
00:25:43,949 --> 00:25:44,982
Yeah.
530
00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:46,484
Mike's absence in my life
531
00:25:46,535 --> 00:25:49,653
caused me a great deal
of worry and anxiety
532
00:25:49,705 --> 00:25:54,375
and nervousness
that I usually filled with food.
533
00:25:54,426 --> 00:25:58,496
So it had a big effect on me.
534
00:26:11,360 --> 00:26:13,227
I am so excited.
535
00:26:13,312 --> 00:26:15,730
I cannot believe
that this is happening.
536
00:26:15,781 --> 00:26:17,949
I never thought
I would ever be a dad.
537
00:26:17,983 --> 00:26:20,151
I never...
never in my wildest dreams
538
00:26:20,202 --> 00:26:22,520
did I ever think I'd be a dad.
539
00:26:22,538 --> 00:26:24,855
And now I'm gonna be one.
540
00:26:30,379 --> 00:26:33,664
Hello. My wife Jackie
is here.
541
00:26:33,715 --> 00:26:35,333
If you go down that hall a way,
542
00:26:35,367 --> 00:26:38,136
it will be almost at the end
on the right-hand side.
543
00:26:38,170 --> 00:26:41,506
Okay.
544
00:26:56,321 --> 00:26:57,822
There's our little girl.
545
00:26:57,889 --> 00:26:59,824
I have Tilly.
She looks good.
546
00:26:59,891 --> 00:27:02,226
- Thank you.
- She was 8.9.
547
00:27:02,244 --> 00:27:03,995
20 inches long.
Wow.
548
00:27:04,046 --> 00:27:06,280
Wow.
Good job, sweetie.
549
00:27:06,331 --> 00:27:10,368
All right, mommy,
I'll hand her over to you.
550
00:27:10,402 --> 00:27:12,286
I'll take her right here.
Thank you.
551
00:27:12,337 --> 00:27:14,005
She's the sweetest
little thing in the world.
552
00:27:14,039 --> 00:27:15,840
- Congratulations.
- Thank you so much.
553
00:27:15,874 --> 00:27:20,111
- You're welcome.
- Hey, baby.
554
00:27:25,467 --> 00:27:27,652
Sweet little baby.
555
00:27:27,686 --> 00:27:30,137
- Can I hold her some?
- Yeah.
556
00:27:30,189 --> 00:27:35,560
It's so hard
to hand her over. Yeah.
557
00:27:35,594 --> 00:27:37,144
Mark looks really great.
558
00:27:37,196 --> 00:27:38,529
I could immediately
tell a difference
559
00:27:38,564 --> 00:27:40,481
in the way he looked.
560
00:27:40,566 --> 00:27:44,318
I've just missed him.
I've missed him a lot.
561
00:27:44,369 --> 00:27:45,620
It was just really good
to see him.
562
00:27:45,671 --> 00:27:50,124
- Look at that face. Oh.
- Whiskers.
563
00:27:50,209 --> 00:27:52,443
I'm holding Tilly Claire
for the very first time.
564
00:27:52,461 --> 00:27:56,380
And I've never felt
a more pure feeling of bliss
565
00:27:56,415 --> 00:27:58,549
in my entire life
than that moment.
566
00:27:58,584 --> 00:28:01,302
I can just eat you up.
Rah rah rah.
567
00:28:01,336 --> 00:28:04,455
And that's saying something
'cause daddy's a food addict.
568
00:28:04,473 --> 00:28:05,856
I love her so much.
569
00:28:05,891 --> 00:28:07,642
I've never loved anything
like I love her.
570
00:28:07,726 --> 00:28:09,260
I will do anything for her.
571
00:28:09,294 --> 00:28:13,431
I've been waiting to talk to you
for a long time.
572
00:28:13,465 --> 00:28:15,600
Rah rah rah rah.
573
00:28:24,409 --> 00:28:28,112
- This is the rower?
- Yeah. This is on 20 pounds.
574
00:28:28,146 --> 00:28:29,497
That's too much.
575
00:28:29,531 --> 00:28:31,815
Oh, well,
this is like doing nothing.
576
00:28:31,833 --> 00:28:34,585
Yeah. That's what you think.
Do that for five minutes.
577
00:28:34,653 --> 00:28:37,705
- Five minutes?
- Yeah.
578
00:28:37,789 --> 00:28:39,590
Really?
This is gonna be aerobic?
579
00:28:39,625 --> 00:28:41,208
Sure it is.
580
00:28:41,260 --> 00:28:43,494
I just wanted to talk
about how good it is
581
00:28:43,512 --> 00:28:46,330
to have my son here.
582
00:28:46,381 --> 00:28:48,766
It's been wonderful
to reconnect with him.
583
00:28:48,800 --> 00:28:50,134
I know you're gonna be okay now
584
00:28:50,185 --> 00:28:52,637
so it's less for me
to worry about.
585
00:28:52,671 --> 00:28:54,655
Exactly. You have nothing
to worry about with me.
586
00:28:54,690 --> 00:28:56,474
Yeah. It's a big burden.
587
00:28:56,525 --> 00:28:58,175
You have to worry
about you now.
588
00:28:58,193 --> 00:28:59,527
Yeah.
589
00:28:59,561 --> 00:29:02,280
Just keep strengthening
yourself.
590
00:29:02,314 --> 00:29:04,282
Having Mike come here
was the best surprise
591
00:29:04,349 --> 00:29:08,619
anybody could've given me ever.
592
00:29:08,654 --> 00:29:11,238
It was unbelievable the time
I got to spend with him.
593
00:29:11,290 --> 00:29:13,758
And as hard as it was
to see him go,
594
00:29:13,792 --> 00:29:18,045
Mike had a lot of wisdom
that helped me a lot,
595
00:29:18,080 --> 00:29:19,664
that's picked me up.
596
00:29:19,698 --> 00:29:21,248
You be safe, okay?
597
00:29:21,300 --> 00:29:22,800
I will.
I'll talk to you soon, okay?
598
00:29:22,834 --> 00:29:27,221
I'm gonna keep track of you.
Bye, mom.
599
00:29:27,306 --> 00:29:28,639
Bye.
600
00:29:28,674 --> 00:29:32,093
It lifted a big weight
off of me.
601
00:29:38,266 --> 00:29:39,567
Coming up on Heavy...
602
00:29:39,601 --> 00:29:42,186
This is the toughest part
for me
603
00:29:42,220 --> 00:29:46,273
is just to fight through.
I'm a fighter, though.
604
00:29:46,325 --> 00:29:48,075
I've been fighting
for a long time.
605
00:29:48,110 --> 00:29:49,827
- And later...
- Grandma.
606
00:29:49,861 --> 00:29:52,279
- Hi, baby.
- Grandma.
607
00:30:21,444 --> 00:30:26,615
I miss them every day.
608
00:30:26,682 --> 00:30:31,703
- How long were you home for?
- 12 days.
609
00:30:31,737 --> 00:30:35,991
Not nearly long enough.
Yeah.
610
00:30:36,025 --> 00:30:40,228
Ah. Sorry.
611
00:30:40,246 --> 00:30:45,217
I just wish they were here
or I was there every day.
612
00:30:45,251 --> 00:30:48,386
Do you think that these weeks
that you're going to spend here
613
00:30:48,421 --> 00:30:52,173
until you go home
are an investment
614
00:30:52,207 --> 00:30:56,011
in your daughter's life?
615
00:30:56,045 --> 00:30:57,562
They are.
616
00:30:57,647 --> 00:30:59,481
And I still just...
I just...
617
00:31:14,447 --> 00:31:15,864
Sorry.
618
00:31:15,898 --> 00:31:19,501
You don't have
to apologize to me.
619
00:31:19,535 --> 00:31:22,754
I just miss them.
620
00:31:22,788 --> 00:31:25,423
This is the toughest part
for me
621
00:31:25,508 --> 00:31:30,545
is just to fight through.
622
00:31:30,579 --> 00:31:32,881
I'm a fighter, though.
623
00:31:32,915 --> 00:31:35,583
I've been fighting
for a long time.
624
00:31:35,601 --> 00:31:38,753
And, uh, I'll get through this.
625
00:31:49,282 --> 00:31:53,034
Since Mike left, I've been
having big weight losses.
626
00:31:53,102 --> 00:31:56,788
Big for me.
Five pounds almost every week.
627
00:31:56,822 --> 00:31:59,157
So I now have hope that I'm
gonna lose more weight
628
00:31:59,208 --> 00:32:03,078
than I've been thinking.
629
00:32:03,112 --> 00:32:06,414
- 265.6.
- Aaaah!
630
00:32:06,432 --> 00:32:10,685
- Whoo. That is a 5.4 loss.
- Ah! I did it again.
631
00:32:10,720 --> 00:32:13,221
Oh, my God. Oh, my God.
- Yay. High-five.
632
00:32:15,958 --> 00:32:18,476
I'm doing good work here.
It's just hard.
633
00:32:18,511 --> 00:32:20,762
You know, I mean, I miss home.
634
00:32:20,796 --> 00:32:23,732
This is lonely.
I miss my family.
635
00:32:23,766 --> 00:32:26,184
And I miss my girl.
636
00:32:26,235 --> 00:32:29,654
I've never loved anything
so much in my life.
637
00:32:29,739 --> 00:32:34,109
- 7.8 pounds. Wow.
- Mm!
638
00:32:34,143 --> 00:32:35,610
I came here to change my life.
639
00:32:35,628 --> 00:32:38,496
To be a better dad
and a better husband.
640
00:32:38,531 --> 00:32:40,699
And that's what it boils
down to.
641
00:32:57,600 --> 00:33:00,719
Down and pull it right up
into your armpit.
642
00:33:00,770 --> 00:33:03,972
Excellent. All the way down.
Into your armpit.
643
00:33:04,006 --> 00:33:06,641
When I first got here
six months seemed
644
00:33:06,675 --> 00:33:09,611
like such a long time.
645
00:33:09,645 --> 00:33:11,396
But without this opportunity,
646
00:33:11,480 --> 00:33:15,700
I wouldn't be able
to do the things
647
00:33:15,785 --> 00:33:17,285
that I'm able to do now.
648
00:33:25,878 --> 00:33:30,331
I never thought that I would be
in a kayak.
649
00:33:30,383 --> 00:33:34,636
Six months ago, the thought
of not using my scooter
650
00:33:34,670 --> 00:33:38,356
would've been very scary.
651
00:33:38,391 --> 00:33:40,508
Bye-bye.
- Come on now!
652
00:33:40,542 --> 00:33:43,728
Today, I feel stronger.
I feel thinner.
653
00:33:43,763 --> 00:33:48,149
And if I could do it
all over again, I would.
654
00:33:54,023 --> 00:33:58,943
It's my last week
and I am nervous and excited.
655
00:33:59,028 --> 00:34:00,745
I will be running
my half-marathon
656
00:34:00,830 --> 00:34:02,230
at the end of this week.
657
00:34:02,248 --> 00:34:04,866
I'm very excited
that I had the capacity
658
00:34:04,900 --> 00:34:07,285
to actually finish the race.
659
00:34:18,247 --> 00:34:21,066
Going into my last weigh-in,
I'm anxious.
660
00:34:21,117 --> 00:34:24,969
I realize that my journey here
really is over.
661
00:34:25,020 --> 00:34:27,238
- It's a special day.
- Dude, what a special day.
662
00:34:27,289 --> 00:34:29,290
- How are you?
- I'm good. I'm good.
663
00:34:29,308 --> 00:34:31,192
Good. Good. Good. Good.
All right.
664
00:34:31,227 --> 00:34:32,393
All right.
665
00:34:32,427 --> 00:34:33,695
All right, get those shoes off
666
00:34:33,779 --> 00:34:35,763
and step
on that old scale there.
667
00:34:35,781 --> 00:34:36,998
Let's see what you got.
668
00:34:42,571 --> 00:34:45,824
Your starting weight
was 312.8.
669
00:34:54,767 --> 00:34:58,720
You are 247 even.
670
00:34:58,754 --> 00:35:00,805
Oh, my gosh, I think
that means I lost 65 pounds.
671
00:35:00,840 --> 00:35:05,793
You lost 65.6 pounds.
672
00:35:05,811 --> 00:35:08,429
Good job.
Yeah.
673
00:35:08,463 --> 00:35:10,932
You know, one of your issues,
obviously, are your joints,
674
00:35:10,950 --> 00:35:13,351
and your hips, and your knees.
675
00:35:13,402 --> 00:35:15,770
And it's estimated
that for every pound you lose,
676
00:35:15,821 --> 00:35:18,740
that takes about three to five...
maybe even more... pounds
677
00:35:18,807 --> 00:35:20,358
off of your joints.
678
00:35:20,409 --> 00:35:21,609
So let's be conservative
679
00:35:21,643 --> 00:35:23,828
and say
that's just three pounds.
680
00:35:23,863 --> 00:35:25,697
Times...
681
00:35:25,748 --> 00:35:29,918
That's almost 200 pounds
of less stress on those joints.
682
00:35:29,952 --> 00:35:32,253
- No wonder I can walk better.
- That's what counts.
683
00:35:32,288 --> 00:35:33,254
Absolutely.
684
00:35:33,289 --> 00:35:34,255
Walking out of here
685
00:35:34,290 --> 00:35:35,673
65 pounds lighter,
686
00:35:35,708 --> 00:35:37,876
I feel awesome.
687
00:35:37,927 --> 00:35:39,711
I would not have been
able to lose ten pounds
688
00:35:39,762 --> 00:35:41,362
a month at home.
689
00:35:41,380 --> 00:35:44,015
And now I'm armed
with all this knowledge
690
00:35:44,049 --> 00:35:45,833
about nutrition and exercise.
691
00:35:45,851 --> 00:35:48,770
And I'm prepared to take it on
692
00:35:48,804 --> 00:35:52,640
in the real world.
693
00:35:52,674 --> 00:35:54,876
Going in
to my final weigh-in,
694
00:35:54,894 --> 00:35:57,111
it really kind of reminded me
of just how far I've come.
695
00:35:57,146 --> 00:35:58,479
Morning, Bob.
Good morning, mark.
696
00:35:58,514 --> 00:35:59,998
Fresh off your run
this morning?
697
00:36:00,049 --> 00:36:01,332
Yes, sir.
698
00:36:01,383 --> 00:36:02,867
In the span of six months,
699
00:36:02,902 --> 00:36:04,819
I'm gonna be running
a half-marathon.
700
00:36:04,853 --> 00:36:05,787
The race is coming.
701
00:36:05,821 --> 00:36:06,871
All right, well,
702
00:36:06,956 --> 00:36:07,688
let's check it out here.
703
00:36:07,740 --> 00:36:08,873
Here we go.
704
00:36:08,958 --> 00:36:10,491
Take a big, deep breath.
705
00:36:23,339 --> 00:36:26,007
We got 357.4.
706
00:36:26,075 --> 00:36:29,761
That's 159 pounds.
Ha!
707
00:36:29,845 --> 00:36:32,814
- 159.6.
- That's unbelievable, man.
708
00:36:32,848 --> 00:36:35,049
Where are you, man?
709
00:36:35,100 --> 00:36:37,101
You're lean and mean.
I'm getting there.
710
00:36:37,152 --> 00:36:38,853
I'm getting there.
All right. All right.
711
00:36:38,887 --> 00:36:40,355
- Man.
- All right, good job. Good job.
712
00:36:40,389 --> 00:36:42,440
- Thanks, Bob.
- All right.
713
00:36:42,491 --> 00:36:44,525
If you would've told me
that I could lose 160 pounds
714
00:36:44,559 --> 00:36:46,394
in six months,
I would've told you
715
00:36:46,445 --> 00:36:47,829
you were crazy.
716
00:36:47,896 --> 00:36:51,199
That's just an impossibility.
But I did it.
717
00:37:03,095 --> 00:37:06,464
All right, here we go.
One more time down the ramp.
718
00:37:06,515 --> 00:37:07,932
Do you guys remember
719
00:37:07,967 --> 00:37:09,750
when you walked up this ramp
for the first time?
720
00:37:09,802 --> 00:37:11,469
- Yeah.
- Uh...
721
00:37:11,520 --> 00:37:12,854
Barely walked up the ramp
for the first time?
722
00:37:12,921 --> 00:37:15,640
- I don't think I walked up.
- More of a wobble.
723
00:37:15,691 --> 00:37:18,426
When I walked in here
six months ago,
724
00:37:18,444 --> 00:37:22,096
I was defeated.
I was a defeated woman.
725
00:37:22,114 --> 00:37:23,398
That's what I'm talking about.
726
00:37:23,415 --> 00:37:24,732
Oh, my God. Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
727
00:37:24,766 --> 00:37:26,484
Holy mother of Mary.
728
00:37:26,535 --> 00:37:27,986
I didn't want to live
the way I'd been living.
729
00:37:28,070 --> 00:37:30,788
And now
I don't have to do that...
730
00:37:30,823 --> 00:37:32,490
Anymore.
731
00:37:32,541 --> 00:37:33,875
Stop.
Sorry.
732
00:37:33,909 --> 00:37:37,611
Don't.
733
00:37:37,630 --> 00:37:40,498
I can't wait to see my family.
734
00:37:40,582 --> 00:37:43,584
And I know when they see me...
735
00:37:43,636 --> 00:37:47,171
They're going to be overwhelmed
by what I've achieved.
736
00:37:51,126 --> 00:37:53,177
- Ah.
- All right, man.
737
00:37:53,262 --> 00:37:55,063
Everything I've learned here
I'm about to put to the test
738
00:37:55,097 --> 00:37:56,431
in the real world.
739
00:37:56,465 --> 00:37:58,016
Do I fall back into old habits?
740
00:37:58,100 --> 00:38:00,451
Oh, my God.
This food is so great.
741
00:38:00,502 --> 00:38:02,670
God.
You all right?
742
00:38:02,688 --> 00:38:04,772
Yeah.
743
00:38:04,806 --> 00:38:06,824
The answer to that
is gonna be no.
744
00:38:06,859 --> 00:38:09,110
I got to get one more.
All right.
745
00:38:09,144 --> 00:38:10,878
I'm strong enough now to know
746
00:38:10,913 --> 00:38:15,583
that I can face these obstacles
and overcome them.
747
00:38:15,650 --> 00:38:18,486
And I don't need food
to get me through it.
748
00:38:23,025 --> 00:38:24,325
Coming up on Heavy...
749
00:38:24,343 --> 00:38:26,044
I had manicure, pedicure.
750
00:38:26,128 --> 00:38:28,429
I didn't think I could look
this good.
751
00:38:28,497 --> 00:38:31,165
Seven and a half miles.
Little tired.
752
00:38:31,183 --> 00:38:32,684
I'm really glad
that mark's home.
753
00:38:34,553 --> 00:38:37,438
- I'm so excited.
- Grandma!
754
00:38:55,223 --> 00:38:56,506
- Hi.
- Hi, Patty.
755
00:38:56,557 --> 00:38:58,008
- Hi.
- Have a seat.
756
00:38:58,026 --> 00:39:00,444
My makeover
was so much fun today.
757
00:39:00,511 --> 00:39:03,814
I had manicure, pedicure.
I had a facial.
758
00:39:03,865 --> 00:39:06,533
I'm gonna do a little bit
more blond around your face
759
00:39:06,567 --> 00:39:08,318
to kind of bring out
some of that
760
00:39:08,352 --> 00:39:10,620
"I've been on the beach"
sun-glitzed look.
761
00:39:10,655 --> 00:39:12,873
I'm so excited.
762
00:39:12,957 --> 00:39:17,077
I'm happy. I'm excited.
I'm a little nervous.
763
00:39:17,161 --> 00:39:18,862
- Color turned out great.
- Yeah?
764
00:39:18,880 --> 00:39:22,299
- I'm so excited.
- Aaaah!
765
00:39:22,333 --> 00:39:25,719
Oh, my God!
This is absolutely beautiful.
766
00:39:25,753 --> 00:39:28,138
I didn't think I could look
this good.
767
00:39:28,172 --> 00:39:30,173
I feel like a new person.
768
00:39:35,096 --> 00:39:38,214
I've missed my mom so much.
769
00:39:38,232 --> 00:39:39,483
I cannot wait to see her.
770
00:39:39,517 --> 00:39:41,218
I can't wait for her
to be back.
771
00:39:41,252 --> 00:39:44,688
I hope that she feels better
about herself
772
00:39:44,722 --> 00:39:47,824
and is excited
to continue the journey
773
00:39:47,859 --> 00:39:50,610
and continue getting healthy.
774
00:39:50,695 --> 00:39:53,447
I'm just anxious to see my mom.
775
00:39:53,498 --> 00:39:55,615
And I just want to give her
a big hug when I see her.
776
00:39:55,700 --> 00:39:59,069
So it'll feel really good.
777
00:39:59,087 --> 00:40:01,288
I'm hoping to see
the culmination
778
00:40:01,372 --> 00:40:03,423
of this entire
six-month period.
779
00:40:03,458 --> 00:40:07,544
I'm just very hopeful
that I will notice a difference
780
00:40:07,578 --> 00:40:08,712
for the better.
781
00:40:08,746 --> 00:40:11,264
I can't even begin to tell you
782
00:40:11,299 --> 00:40:13,583
how much it means to me
to be able to just walk
783
00:40:13,601 --> 00:40:18,522
into my house
and not go on a scooter.
784
00:40:18,556 --> 00:40:22,726
Struggle in hunched over
on a thick, thick cane.
785
00:40:22,760 --> 00:40:24,811
I'm so excited.
786
00:40:27,615 --> 00:40:30,283
- Grandma!
- Hi, baby.
787
00:40:30,368 --> 00:40:34,371
Grandma!
788
00:40:36,657 --> 00:40:39,793
I missed you.
How's it feel, mom?
789
00:40:39,827 --> 00:40:42,496
It feels so good.
790
00:40:42,547 --> 00:40:45,448
Peter my hummingbird, come on.
791
00:40:47,385 --> 00:40:51,221
Oh, my God! Honey.
792
00:40:51,255 --> 00:40:53,423
Everybody's changed so much.
793
00:40:53,474 --> 00:40:55,725
I feel like I have my mom back.
794
00:40:55,760 --> 00:40:59,129
I've not seen her walk
in years... literally.
795
00:40:59,147 --> 00:41:01,815
She's a huge influence
on all of us.
796
00:41:01,849 --> 00:41:03,650
So her getting healthier
797
00:41:03,684 --> 00:41:06,937
is just gonna
get the ball rolling
798
00:41:06,971 --> 00:41:08,605
for all of us.
799
00:41:08,656 --> 00:41:11,191
Oh, my God.
Are you riding a tricycle too?
800
00:41:11,242 --> 00:41:13,476
- Yeah, it looks like it.
- Oh, my gosh.
801
00:41:13,494 --> 00:41:16,613
I feel awesome.
I'm home. I'm happy.
802
00:41:16,664 --> 00:41:17,814
It was so worth it.
803
00:41:17,865 --> 00:41:19,416
I'm just on my way
804
00:41:19,483 --> 00:41:20,617
and there's no stopping me now.
805
00:41:43,858 --> 00:41:46,443
Whoo!
I'm excited.
806
00:41:46,477 --> 00:41:49,729
13.1 miles is no joke.
But I've been training for it.
807
00:41:49,780 --> 00:41:52,616
I'm ready to go.
808
00:41:58,522 --> 00:42:02,909
Seven and a half miles.
I'm a little tired.
809
00:42:02,960 --> 00:42:06,796
Uh, but I'm pushing through.
810
00:42:06,831 --> 00:42:08,832
I'm hurting.
Thinking about Tilly.
811
00:42:18,176 --> 00:42:21,912
It was really hard to be away
from mark for six months.
812
00:42:21,979 --> 00:42:23,880
But I'm really hopeful
that all of this
813
00:42:23,898 --> 00:42:25,565
has been for the best.
814
00:42:25,600 --> 00:42:28,401
And it was not all for nothing.
815
00:42:28,486 --> 00:42:31,938
Oh, oh, I see him.
Yay.
816
00:42:31,989 --> 00:42:34,658
I'm really gla...
817
00:42:40,231 --> 00:42:41,581
I'm really glad
that mark's home.
818
00:42:45,119 --> 00:42:46,586
He's really come a long way.
819
00:42:46,637 --> 00:42:48,288
And I'm just really proud
of him
820
00:42:48,339 --> 00:42:50,941
and glad he's home,
so glad he's home.
821
00:43:00,351 --> 00:43:01,601
- Whoo!
- You did good.
822
00:43:01,636 --> 00:43:04,437
It was great
having Jackie here.
823
00:43:06,057 --> 00:43:07,857
This has been the greatest
experience of my life.
824
00:43:07,925 --> 00:43:09,476
And it really has taught me
a lot of things
825
00:43:09,560 --> 00:43:10,944
that I'd forgotten about myself
826
00:43:10,978 --> 00:43:12,362
about how tough I am.
827
00:43:12,396 --> 00:43:14,397
About how strong I can be.
828
00:43:14,431 --> 00:43:17,600
That finish line
was part of my new life.
829
00:43:17,618 --> 00:43:19,819
And there will be many more
finish lines.
830
00:43:19,870 --> 00:43:22,706
- How do you feel?
- I am tired.
831
00:43:23,991 --> 00:43:24,991
It's not the end at all.
832
00:43:25,042 --> 00:43:26,943
It's just the beginning.
833
