An Iowa man on a steady fitness journey has lost an incredible 250 pounds (approx. 118 kg) over eight years in a healthy way. No longer morbidly obese, he is hoping his weight loss story will inspire others to strive for their goals and succeed.

Heath Thompson, 35, of Cedar Rapids, Iowa, was always a “big kid.” He told The Epoch Times that his weight hit an all-time high when he stopped caring about his own welfare.
