Man Loses 198 Pounds In A Year After Publicly Posting His Weight - Inspirational Videos

Vance Hinds started his weight loss journey with a single video. He stood in front of the camera in just his underwear, stepped on the scales and shared with the world that he weighed 475 pounds. Fast-forward to one year later and Vance would be publicly stepping on the scales again, but this time he’d weigh nearly 200 pounds less. How was he able to do it?

This inspiring video shows the few key things that lead to his incredible success. Vance Hinds was listening to a podcast when he learned of another man who had been successful losing a lot of weight. That’s when Vance made the decision to put his health first and lose weight, too. So he made a video announcing his decision, and he posted it to his personal Facebook page. That was just the beginning of a new way of life for Vance!

Vance was used to spending his days on the sofa in front of the TV. He had no energy and was in a lot of pain. After his weight-loss, he admits that he is now living a completely different life. "My life changed 180 degrees. It's an active lifestyle now versus a sedimentary lifestyle. Before, I didn't want to go anywhere or do anything and just watched TV.

Now, we are packed with activities all the time." In addition to walking daily and changes in diet, Vance incorporated a yoga program, known as DDP Yoga. DDP Yoga was founded by former professional wrestler Diamond Dallas Page, who ‘accidentally’ came up with the yoga that mixes stretching and strength positions with some things that he learned while in rehab following a serious back injury. This program has transformed many lives and now Vance is included in that mix. What an incredible journey of determination and focus.
