I love seeing when good people finally connect with the correct experts and the information that equips them to make real permanent changes.

Ethan's story has completely changed my life. My story is similar to his except for the acting part. I was over 400 lbs in 8th grade and my max at the beginning of the year is just under 600 lbs at 26. I had accepted that I would be dead by 30 and this video showed up in my feed. I watched it and realized that I wasn't okay with dying by 30. I started losing weight and being outside just for the sake of being outside. Because I was outside so much, I managed to meet a girl who completely changed my life as well. Just like in Ethan's story, she likes to hike and do things that I know I can't do, so I've started to work out and work on getting my body able to do the things she likes. So far in just under 6 months, I'm down 75 lbs. This is my lowest weight I've been at in over 3 years and I have no intention to stop. My next goal is to lose 100 lbs by the end of the year. Thank you Ethan for sharing your story. You have inspired me to change my life in ways that I never thought were possible.

He looks much cooler now, yet kept the softness of his heart.

He didn’t just lose weight he put on a massive amount of muscle . Dude looks great. Mad props to him

This just inspires me so much more... I gave up on myself 18 months ago when I hit 430lbs and my scale maxed out. Something in me snapped after a couple of weeks of considering suicide, and I looked up how to lose weight consistently.. Found Dr Mike and learned about setting a caloric deficit and the rest is history. Today I weighed in at 260 lbs and it's the skinniest I've been since 6th grade, no joke. To anyone out there wondering, you've got this! You can do this, and you will succeed... just keep pushing and never give up!

I wish “My Name is Earl” was back just to showcase the “new” Randy.

"Met a girl who I really care about, but likes hiking and beach" I felt that

I love how he said “The biggest thing was getting healthy” as opposed to “losing weight”

I was 400 lbs and now im at about 280. trying to get muscle and lose weight. Excellent story!

Love that this was just a straight-up interview and success story and not framed as an ad

Dude went from looking like Micheal Moore to looking like a Navy seal.

I appreciate him for not becoming jaded, despite having hard times. He speaks with clean, congruent character, without hint of being bitter. Inspiring to see his progress.

I just weighed myself last month. I tipped the scales at 193kg (425lbs) at 33. So far I'm down 6kg (13lbs). I have more hard work to go and changes to make... But I'm on the right path and heading in the right direction. This is inspiring to me. If Ethan can do it from where he was, I can too!

This inspired me .. ive lost 67 pounds and still going .. if he can do it so can I. Thanks for the motivation brother.

He is so right: goals are absolutely necessary to endure progression

Ethan Suplee is a absolute Gold Standard for setting a goal and sticking to it.

I'm so happy for him, he's an excellent actor and he seems to be a nice guy.

He legit looks like a strongman or MMA fighter.

I had heard he'd gotten in shape. I was not prepared for this. Good for him. This is awesome

This was incredibly well produced and interesting, featuring an actor I have loved since I used to watch My Name Is Earl after school as a kid, thanks to everyone involved!

i watched this same video at the very end of 2019 when i weighed 230 pounds and i said to myself that at the end of the year i was gonna lose as much weight as possible before the year was over and i now currently weigh 132 so thank you to this video and this man for sharing his story and giving another dude enough courage and inspiration to make a change for the better

Much respect for form over ego. He did perfect push-ups on his knees, and the weights he used on the shoulder exercise (can't think of what it's called) were not heavy - but his form was spot on. What an inspiration!

Thank you SO MUCH for posting this! It hit me hard to the core! I'm 51 300 lbs and I feel horrible all the time! Thank you for your story and giving my motivation to look myself in the eye!

So happy for the guy. His character was one of few that left strong impression in me from American History X, but largely because I felt sorry for him and his size. It's awesome to see that this can be dealt with when approached properly.

Dude I've seen every movie that you've been in Remember the Titans American History X even Mallrats you're awesome bro keep doing what you're doing you look great

Please do the gears of war movie you’re perfect for the role of Marcus Phoenix. 🙏🏻

Hard to believe that guy was only 22 years old when he was in American History X.

This, this right here this is bravery, I was fat as a truck as well once, but I went to the gym and lost lots of weight, now my old school friends don’t even recognise me, it’s story’s like this that should inspire people, not being brave for doing nothing but working hard to improve yourself.

How could anybody give this a thumbs down? Absolute haters.

If they ever make a movie about "Macho Man" Randy Savage i want Ethan to play him.

I relate so much to this. Him being made aware of his weight at such a young age. That seems to set the stage for disorders in our relationship to food and body image. His sense of guilt around food hurts to hear because I know what that's like. I'm happy to see stories like his. Really emphasises the emotional aspect of physical health.

Kinda cool looking through the comments seeing so many people show support rather than be trolls. So proud of you man.

Shouldn't call it a 'Weightloss journey', it is a 'Total body recomposition journey'.

I only knew Ethan from My name is Earl and to be honest, I had to google his name to recognize him. Job well done, thanks for the inspiration.

Extremely inspirational. He's not literally half the weight he was at his heaviest. That's an out of this world level of progress. I'm extremely happy for him.

It’s so crazy hearing him talking about the different stages of dieting he went through before he found what worked. I’ve been dieting for over a year now. I’ve lost 120 pounds all together. It’s just crazy word for word what he says is what I went through even down to him needing goals. That’s something I learned the past year is if I don’t have a goal or something to work for I’m not very happy. Ever since I came to that realization, ever since I came to terms of a lot of my trauma my goal of losing weight has been achieved. Now I’m working on building muscle and toning my body more. Losing weight made me feel like I took control over my life. Always stay humble.

If he had looked like this in American History X he would have legit been terrifying.

"The feeling of not being able to get a gf" hits close to home😢exactly close

I love Ethan, every role he's ever been in just captivated me. Maybe it's his voice idk but he deserves this. Good for him.

I had heard about his story but had no idea that you were involved. Congratulations to him, you and everyone else who supported him.

I can only imagine he's got incredible strength having carried around that weight for so long then dropping the fat and making muscle. Amazing dedication too.

He’s still a big guy but now a healthy big guy 👍👍 much respect

So glad I ran across this video. I grew up watching this guy in all sorts of movies. It’s so freaking awesome to see this good dude getting his health in check. He looks like a brick shot house now!! Congrats and keep up the hard work brother!! So proud

This dude is so inspirational. I was 395 like 2 years ago now I’m 265 and I go to the gym 6 days a week for the last year or so (up from 4). I do weights 4 days a week and cardio the other two and I feel great. I still have 35 lbs to lose but I’m loving my journey so far. I’m 6’2” so I think 230 should look fantastic for me and then it’s time to start going harder on weights.

Sounds the same, looks nearly unrecognizable.

This is awesome.

So happy for this guy. I feel like I’ve been watching Ethan all my life in movies.

I have watched this guy since Mallrats. I have always had a soft spot for Ethan Suplee! I am glad he has found a healthy journey that makes him feel happy!

Loved you on his podcast big dog, just wanted you to know I'm gonna hit 100lbs down this month with a big help coming from your content.

He is wearing a wedding ring and from not being able to get a girlfriend to being married I am proud of his life journey.

He seems like such a kind soul

I remember him as the bully in Boy Meets World and in Remember the Titans he’s been around so long. Salute to making health a priority

Inspirational

“I met a girl” enough said! -Best diet -

I saw Ethan's story years ago, and now I'm down 120 lbs, and been using the same process. Learning to be ok with the weight not always going down, learning to hold maintince, and focusing on my overall health rather then just a number. I wish more people could see these processes and understand that it isn't some magic bullet.

Congratulations to a well deserved guy. Keep it up, you’re going to go far.

I really like seeing this, havent seen him act in years, love that hes not another "died from heart problems" I hope he comes back to acting maybe a marvel superhero

I’m so happy to see his progress!!!!...he’s already looking like something out of a Superhero Movie, keep up the great work and positive outlook on life!!!

Ethan you are an inspiration to all us big guys that have struggled with our weight . Thank you for sharing your journey. God Bless

Good for him. This makes me happy to hear this story, and how honest he was with himself about himself. That was the most inspiring part of hearing this.

Didn't recognize the name but as soon as he said he was an actor I was like "Is that the guy from My Name is Earl? There's no way" and omg it is. Amazing job, Ethan. You're killing it!

Someone get this man a role already.🔥🔥

So damn proud of this guy. Every time I come home from work in construction I think that I won't have the energy to work out, but videos like this and heroes like Ethan motivate me to push myself as far as possible.

This man went from “that guy” into “the guy”

The first (shorter version) of this video I saw on KZfaq, was one of my turning points into changing my lifestyle, after being obese since childhood. And now I'm down 50lbs (22kg) in 5 months and hit the gym 3+ times a week (because I like it now) to improve strenght and fitness (the majority of my weight loss has been without workout when gyms were closed) and I haven't been hungry a single day (I make my own plan) 🏋️‍♀️. Thanks for the inspiration, Ethan 💪🏼 You look like a handsome beast 🏋️‍♂️

This is truly inspiring! I remember watching him in many different roles. He’s always been entertaining but truly happy to see him doing so well!

I am so happy for him. This is really awesome and inspiring. Keep at it King. YOU GOT THIS!!

THis is so heart warming and touching to hear this honesty! THis guy was in so much when I was a teenager, couldn't believe it when I saw the video! He looks like a f**king badass now, I hope to see him in some cool roles, can we have a 2022 update?!

As someone who has weighed 300 pounds, I hear what he's saying and it's a constant reminder to mentally check in with yourself

I love this guy, and his transformation. You can see the kindness in his heart it just bleeds out through his words.

October 5 will be 11 years I dropped 147lb from 289 I hear all the methods he tried and yet his main goal was to be healthy. I made the decision to do bariatric surgery, and I'm so blessed I did. Yet many see it like I did before my decision, you are taking the easiest way out. But in reality it was a risk that gave me my life back. The goal was to be healthy. The hardest part has been making the right choices the passed 10 plus years. In any weight loss, maintenance will always be the decision maker to continue your health on track. I am 46 160lb and I'm more physically active now then in my mid 20's and 30's I love listening to stories that encourage me to continue my goal. 💪 Awesome job to him...

I have a friend who's tried losing weight in a similar manner, he knows he's doing things wrong by default, but he didn't know how to approach it. He had the same idea of "now I'm motivated and want to see results" instead of "now I'm gonna struggle and change my life for good", so he failed dieting multiple times and the guilt just kept building up. These Ethan Suplee videos resonated with him in a sense, a nice and relatable person who was huge but got in this shape. That it's a slow and calm process which comes from doing a thing or two right at a time and making them a habit, that small slips are gonna happen but are not the end of it, and that the progress isn't gonna be linear success from start to finish. Now he's been at it for a while and doesn't seem to be losing his belief in the process and is hanging in there.

I love how this man made a difference in his life and the the journey he took

He probably just opened up a whole nother level of his acting career I can see him playing a badass army vet or something after his transformation

One of the worst and best experiences in my life all in one happened to me 5 years ago. The gym saved my life, and made me realize the strength of a human being....mentally and physically. This man, is a true inspiration to everyone. Wonderful job sir, you are amazing.

Ethan is a great inspiration to everyone. Everyone knew him as the heavy guy on Boy meets World, Remember the Titans and American History X. But now he is a talented, focused actor. Congrats Ethan.

Get this man into the MCU

Love his honesty . Much respect for his hard discipline and focus

I'm so glad I found this channel today. Every video I've watched this evening has been a banger. This one was specifically inspiring and eye opening for me. Thank you for your efforts in putting your content out there for free to educate others.

Hey Ethan... greetings from Cornwall! Congratulations on your career and your health journey; keep up the good work.

This is so amazing, and I love how you made lifestyle changes. Also, I'm happy you made that decision to get healthier vs giving in to your circumstance.

I showed my husband the photos of Ethan now, and he was impressed. He's definitely come a long way.

Amazing quality video. Can’t believe I’ve been watching Dr. Mike’s lectures for over a year now and just got this recommended to me. Love it

Congratulations Ethan loved your work in Varsity Blues. Hard work has payed off!

Now he's ready for spec ops or war movies, incredible.

Ethan, I wish you the absolute best things and moments in your life, please continue doing you like the most.

I felt this on so many levels. I watch videos like this in order to keep me motivated. 2019 I was in a bad accident and I had to relearn how to walk, it’s hard for me to lose the weight I’ve gained. I’m limited to what I can do because I still have a fixator on! I’ve been dieting and trying my hardest to lose this weight. I won’t stop till I accomplish my goal! I need my self confidence back. I’ve been disciplined and focused, Self care is what I’m doing, it’s a step into the path of self love.

You are a bad ass! I've seen your movies, and you've got to be proud that you could now be a star as an operator, or fighter, or action hero! Good job!

Never been so happy to see someone achieve what they truly deserve.

Truly amazing, Ethan. Super-stoked for you, and the progress you've made!

You're an inspiration dude. HUGE fan. Literally, lol. Keep it up, we are all watching

I saw this video about 2 years ago. I was over 400 pounds and in terrible health. It got so bad that id get sore bowling. Seeing this video set me on the path to losing 140 pounds so far. I got a few more pounds to lose but i feel so much better. Thank you for posting

Thank you so much for sharing your story. I"ve struggled with my weight all my life. Biggest i've been is 400, but i can't seem to break through these days. Still around 360lbs. how motivating this video is.

My God Ethan, I know who you are a long time and always liked your films. Well done on everything you accomplished and the mindset you had to work on to get where you are now. Enjoy the fruits of your labour now. Congratulations.

This is really incredible, I remember seeing this dude on the screen back in the day, what an awesome transformation. Keep kicking ass Ethan!

You are simply amazing Ethan. AMAZING. I can't even believe your the same guy i saw in those movies. Such an incredible transformation!!! Your giving strength to the weak, and hope to the hopeless. Your saving lives, not just your own. God bless you.

Wow, he's massive! I never would have guessed he is the actor from the movie The Titans! Excellent job!!

Amazing. This is a brilliant story and I love how he changed from blaming individual components in food to understanding what the real solution was. Great video.

Great video, so happy to see Ethan Suplee on the channel!

i grew up watching this guy hes awesome and Im really happy to see him healthy and strong now..great work team inspirational
