After getting engaged to his high school sweetheart, this obese man loses 315 lbs!

29-year-old, John Allaire, was thrilled when the love of his life and childhood sweetheart said yes to his marriage proposal. At 540 lbs, he felt he owed it to his new bride to be, Caila, for him to lose some weight.

Inspired by his high school sweethearts love, John set out to lose as much weight as possible before the big day. He found it hard to believe that Caila even said yes to him despite his weight. John started posting his inspiring weight loss journey to his Instagram.

“She loved me as I was and she was ready to commit to marrying me at 540 pounds, which is mind-blowing, really,” Said, John.

The journey wasn’t easy, but you won’t believe the amount of weight John lost!

John had to use an industrial size fish scale, just to weigh himself in the beginning. All he needed was the hope Caila gave him, he started juicing and walking three to four times per week.

John ended up losing his job, which turned out to be the perfect time for him to completely devote himself to health and fitness. Documenting his progress on Instagram the whole way, he joined a fitness training camp and the real pounds started to fall off. Before long, you could barely recognize him.

In the fitness camp, he lost over 300 lbs! He was transformed into a new man, and his bride to be was ecstatic!

Thanks to his childhood sweetheart, and the amazing fitness camp, John beat his junk food addiction and lost more weight than anyone thought he ever could.

The weight loss was life-changing, but there was still one big problem. With all that weight gone, John now had 16-20 pounds of excess skin hanging off of his body. His only option was an expensive skin surgery, but how would he afford it?

Luckily, after appearing on an episode of The Doctors, John got the complex skin surgery for free!

John was left in a bind, after working so hard to lose the weight he had up to 20 lbs of excess skin hanging off of his body. Thankfully, after going on the show The Doctors, John was able to get the expensive surgery free of charge!
