Yo
Ok
Cool
I love you
Shut up
The security guard following you on a Segway while you ride the obescooter is cinematic gold
i cant believe even the security guard doesnt walk. wtf
I'm at least twice the security guards age and I'd be insulted if it was even implied I couldn't walk through a shift as a mall cop. You look so soft in the head on a Segway. My pride just wouldn't let me unless I was sick or injured.
@@jelkel25 wish i lived in that town. suddenly im the super model LOL
Shits got me dying. Everything about it is perfect.
He was literally a character 😂
Bro even the security guards don't walk lmao
I was a security guard a while ago, some places it is mandatory that you have to use those dumb scooters.
@@Anti-Infringement-American why though
@@shimmyyes6106 I guess that 700 lb guy can run faster than the top speed of that scooter
I mean would you? Like idk about you but obese or not if a place gave me a free scooter to ride I'd be all over that thing

Love the children’s book author, what a lovely man with an admirable mission. Pained at hearing his huge losses.
Thanks to him and Mark for sharing their stories and messages of hope.
The "finish your plate" mentality is definitely the top contributor to my weight gain growing up. It's still ingrained in my brain to the point where I have to physically tell myself sometimes that I've eaten enough.
It's really tragic too because that mentality started out of necessity. There were many times when we didn't know how long we'd go without food. Sometimes it was only 1500 calories worth of food over the span of 3 days. When we finally got food stamps or our parents got a bonus at work or tax season, we'd binge
Super unhealthy habits that I'm fighting like hell not to have my son experience poverty or obesity
This is a particularly southern thing. I grew up in the south and this was a saying 'clean your plate.' My childhood diet was just terrible. I'm glad I was able to escape that cycle of obesity and misery.
Stop blaming others. Look at Trump, self maid trillionaire, just ask him. He never lies.
Wtf does Trump's maid have to do with anything?
Yeah that was a part of my childhood too. I can still hear my mother saying, “you’re not getting up from that table until you finish your food “. I remember one particular time when I sat at the kitchen table for 3 hours because I didn’t want to eat my green peas ( I hated them 🤮🤮). The clean plate club has done me in. I’m 300 pounds now getting ready to seriously start working on losing at least 10% of my weight to start. I’m in constant pain, having trouble going up and down the stairs, have arthritis in my knees, and heels spurs on my feet 👣. I know that losing weight will help with all the aches and pains. That’s why if you have kids don’t force them to eat everything on their plate. We naturally have it in us to know when we are full. But when you push beyond that boundary, then it becomes gluttonous.
It's as simple as putting less food on your plate.
Dude heard someone talking about health and took full advantage of the opportunity in front of him. He was the perfect person to talk to and he knew that, glad he was there that day to talk and share his story as well as getting his book more known.
😂 SURELY that wasn't scripted.
@@Gonken88It may not have been. He was literally in the fattest city in America 🤷🏼♀️
@@basedkaren51 And a guy who wrote childrens books about the subject magically appeared out of nowhere.
@Gonken88 maybe it's not everyday someone talks about health there, maybe extremely rare, which is why he mentioned it, but could very likely be fake. Even if it is fake, the message is good and still advocating health.
@Gonken88 Even if it was, the part when he hopped on the back of the scooter to get away from the Segway security cracked me up.
That man that wrote the childrens book is honestly so creative, Obe-city and the mayor Dianebetes
THATS WHAT I WAS SAYIN
Pretty cool they ran into each other

I meet him before

The security Guard on the Segway is literally part of the problem 🤣
indeed
Agreed
For sure. What a disappointment. The fact that a person is capable but is just too lazy to walk is unreal to me. As a disabled person, I find this damn near disrespectful. You don't know what you have until you lose it.

Mark is incredible. Kudos to this guy.
Hes the living proof that things can change if you are willing to fight for it
Seeing that guy genuinely feel happy after putting on a seatbelt made me feel some kind of way. It's sad how his health deteriorated but it seems like he is on the right track.
It can happen to anyone bruh like literally anyone even an athlete can turn obese just coz of 1 bad day or several. The real kick in the nuts is people don't know how calories work or heck even what it means like i shyt you not. I actually get response with it like i'm talking about rocket science when all im saying is Eat only what your body needs like your 5'9 so 2k calories and you'll lose weight and they can't process that information so if people actually knew how that worked like factually there will be less obese people like Japan for instance they know it like almost all of em there.
It made me tear up a lil ngl
@@m0n4rch911amen brother
Me too, I teared up after seeing that success for him 🥺😭
@@m0n4rch911it's generally because of all the shitty tips online that recommend retarded diets when it's literally just about watching your calories
I love his brutal honesty when the lady in the restaurant asked what they were doing.
I died laughing
She seems like one of those "You can't film in here and if I'm on it, you have to delete it, you just have to" type
Dose of reality
The “uhh” response 😂😂
I woulda added “and we also film porn if you’re willing to make a little extra on the side.”
Mark good luck mate, don't give up please. You are a winner.
Hell yeah he is. Rejecting the surgery, believing he can do it his own way, Mark is fricken awesome
Asmon reviewed this and since I live in TX I have to say - the summers are hard here and even harder in a town like McAllen. There are summers where the lows are 95F and that's kind of rough even if you are use to it. One thing you ignored that these people have in common with southerners and people who grew up in poor regions is the idea that you have to clean your plate. You are rather young, but GenX and older (maybe some millenials) were told that you have to eat everything on your plate which just leads to over eating. I've since learned that children in China won't be affected by me not eating everything in one sitting. Many families still live like food is very scarce even though they can go to any fast food place in a matter of minutes.
Yes, I live in this area, and it was engraved in my brain as a child that wasting food is bad, especially since this area has a high poverty rate that I believe contributes to the obesity in not obese but I am over weight by 40 lbs.
I've had conflicts with my family over this. I just ignore them.
The girl who asked "what are you guys doing" was not ready for Tyler's answer. LOL.
The "uhhhh" when he finished talking had me ROLLING.
Lmfao
LOL no she was not 😂
@@SloPace yo we got the same name
Definitely wasn’t expecting that I bet she was expecting something fun like a good food review 😭
The security guard on a scooter shaking his head was so ironic and so hilarious I just lost it 😂 dude get off that thing. Trust me. You can keep up.
Yeah, just so embarrassing 😂
Went looking for a comment to that moment. That was hilarious.
Sadly they also give segways to security in healthy cities. Police even ride them in airports 😂
I can tell none of yall have to walk around hard floors 8+ hours a day for a living. It hurts.
@@twistedmetal15 I beg your pardon I worked on my feet all day in a grocery store. Try again sir. It was a laugh because it's about OBESITY and he's shaking his head on a scooter. Lighten up.
Keep going Mark. Respect to you. ❤
i wish your docus where full length man ... your videos are so entertaining, informative and done in a very professional manner. one of the best journalist ive seen.
David’s story was heart breaking and inspirational but the security guard riding the scooter tailing the duo made it hard to keep a straight face.
I laughed so hard when the camera turned to him and he had that look on his face haha
That dude's gonna be a chunk soon
That definitely caught me off guard & I laughed at that guy just tailing them in the Segway
Edit: 2:54 What is that face 😂
He's the male version of a Karen!
Nice profile
Tyler talking to store managers saying their food is what is going to kill their customers then going on with the documentary, I love it
I know right?
That made me lol so loud 😂
He's a fucken assgole for that tbh. Lady is just trying to do her job
"ughhhhhhh"😂😂😂
People don't have to buy it
The Security Guard 😂😂😂....slowly following them
Also I really appreciated the encouragement in the gym. So proud of that guy
Eating is an addiction, along with electronics! These two go hand in hand. No pun intended!
My man just hopped on the scooter and started talking. Had no destination, just a story to tell. LOVE THAT. He came for the WHOLE RIDE!!!
Mark being able to do the splits and come back from that? Still coming back from it too?? A legend. We support this.
I feel like they probably planned all this beforehand. Believe it or not all those traveling shows of other countries it was all pre-planned with those people to appear on the show.
Scripted. For sure. I hate the way they try make out it isn't.

@@wspkiaraThat doesn’t mean the interaction in the video wasn’t planned lmfao what does him going to your school change about that?
Respect to Mark for saving his own life. Some people would simply give up when they get to that point of obesity.
Actually many woulda gave in.
I'd rather u be in heaven with us and God.
Imagine how awful and horrendous it would be for anyone to be 🔥 burning eternally in hundreds 💯 or thousand degrees of fire in hell...one minute, 1 hr, 1 day, 1 wk, 1 month, 1 decade...if humans need da shade or stay indoor during the summer in 90-120 degrees heat, how much worse will burning in hell for those who rejected Jesus Christ during the time ⏲️ when they were alive.
Please 🙏 accept Jesus Christ as your Savior b4 your life ends 🙏
@@small_fries7573 was Jesus on a cross or a wooden pole? My mother is a Christian and believes that he was on a pole because that's what evidence suggests and they wouldn't waste the wood and it's a misconception and that the he was never on a cross. But it's a very popular conception that Jesus was on a cross and the cross is a major symbol of Christianity and without the cross Christianity would fall with no other representer........
My point is was it a cross or a plank/pole?
@@YouShouldYourselfNow it was a cross, there is historical evidence that proves that crucifixion was a thing during Jesus' time.
@@YouShouldYourselfNow both cross and wood. The cross ✝️ was made of wood 🪵. The cross symbolizes shame, sacrifice, and God's glory. Shame cuz it's a form of public display of execution. Sacrifice is due to Jesus Christ sacrificing His life for our humane sins. His glory is because only His sacrifice can save our souls if we accept Him as our Savior FOR OUR SINS.
The most important thing is to realize you cannot save yourself on judgement day for all independent souls. No sinners can pass through God's judgement into heaven UNLESS he or she accepts Jesus Christ as Savior for his or her sins. 🙏 SINCE u choose to reject Him, you still have time ⏲️ until your life is over which is already predetermined by God b4 your birth.
@@YouShouldYourselfNow the cross also symbolize God's connection to & with humans (verticallly) and humans to humans (horizontally). Nobody can reach heaven without the human to God connection. Only Jesus Christ saves.
Great video.
All the people living in McAllen, rio grande valley, Texas, USA and all the world need to watch this excellent video.
Keep up the good work Mark. 😎
Keep going with your weight loss and surgery Mark. You can do it you will be an inspiration for others. I don't struggle with eating disorders but I do have a drinking addiction. and its a bloody hard road. I have no disrespect for you what so ever, but you have shown me encouragement to overcome hurdles. Jim from down under.
Started as 350... over the years dropped to 312. Then I woke up to me lying to myself. 8 moths later 250 and working on getting to next goal of 215
@eFasser Hey, keep up the good work!! Be proud of yourself! 😅
bro what kind of moths you eatin' to lose that much weight? I want some too! /j
Good job! Keep going! You got this ❤
@dud1297 The biggest blessing of intermediate fasting for me is - its a great positive if you make better choices with food, but it's not really cheating if you eat cake or chocolate or pizza.
But, during the first 6 moths I've cut out mostly all sugar, mostly no carbs, and I didn't drink soda for a while. My curmudgeon menu for 23 hours cycle is one meal consisting of meat or fish, greeny goods (cauliflower, tomatoes, spinach, salad, celery) and chocolate or slice of cake. Currentl, I'm losing approximately half a pound every two weeks. The bestt part is I'm cooking once a week 😁
@@princess13sparkles thank you
What a blessing to have Dave show up, be able to tell his own experience through the loss of two siblings and tag along to help educate what went wrong in the culture of neglecting our health.
And that click when Mark put in that seat belt was such an elation moment, never met him, but I was proud of him and what he was able to accomplish.
I agree Mark is a champion but what the fuck is lying in this garden. Tells you something.
Can't believe Tyler didn't buy him lunch
David, man you are creative. Cheers to you mate, this comes from a Creative Director in the game industry, you have a great spark and continue on this journey.
Kudos to Mark. Keep your head up brother, you're doing very well! Wish him all the best
Mark seems amazing, I'm so glad that he stood up for himself on TLC, the pandemic hit everyone hard and it's so cool to see that he's still trying to help himself, I hope the absolute best for him
I truly hope he reaches his goals. The path that he's on is very, very hard but will be so worth it! Wishing continued success for him.
yesh would be really happy to go to gym with him
No pandemic hit.
It was so irritating hearing him talk about how the doctor kept pushing him to get surgery. I hope he is able to accomplish his goals without it

When he clicked his seatbelt made my day. I hope for Mark that he can do more things now that he could never do before.
Hope so. Unless he goes back to his bad obese habits like most Americans do!
Have u ever thought about how God is real via creation? Our DNA, fingerprints, organs, and all our body parts are created by God. Only a supernatural being can create something so complicated and well-organized like God....
It made your day when someone clicked their seatbelt? How strange
@@coreyb1295 ok corey
@@coreyb1295your mom carried you for 9 just to name you Corey
@@coreyb1295 Will surprise you how some of the things we take for granted are wish list for some people. Losing weight is not easy. It gets worse the heavier the person is. It's not just losing the weight, the harder part is overcoming the addiction to food when you don't have a social life.
Love the book the guy wrote to educate kids about diabetes. Sorry to hear he lost family members from diabetes. Good for him for getting healthy. Good for David. 😊
Man, i rarely watch what I eat but I never gain weight. I have lots of muscle and tone and at times ate everything in sight and didn't gain an ounce
I never thought about what set me apart from people who get obese and myself, i just eat and eat...and I think 85% of it is I hardly ever eat fried or deep fried things. 90% of what I eat is home cooked by family or me, and here we bake it or pan fry it, maybe with a tiny smear of oil for 1 dish. Lots of soups, beans, roasted and raw veggies.
I eat a lot of cheese, but the kinds I eat I looked up and it's not as high calorie as you'd think.
The worst things I regularly eat are probably box cereal and milk chocolate. Otherwise an average day is bananas, oranges, raw veggies, wheat bread and homemade jams (still sugar but not a lot of preservatives), raw veggies (love carrots, cucumbers and peas), cheese (least commonly cream cheese) and leftovers, which will mainly be homemade low sodium soups, spiced ground beef dishes, pastas, "Americanized" Mexican (we skip the lard), and for the past 20 yrs my mom automatically cuts half the sugar out of every single dessert item we make from the recipe (except jams). And it's all still plenty sweet.
It's sad, because when I travel I eat out and never think twice about what I eat, go homeand there's no ill effect. I rarely go out, I never go or feel hungry, and we try all kinds of spices, dishes, exotic (to our area) vegetables and treats and combinations. AND we save money.
People could still enjoy themselves in spades without destroying themselves.
I'll have to thank my mom again for the food culture she built in our house. I didn't realize til recently the difference it made
@dflaming1371 have a similar experience with my body, just as a woman & mama to 3y daughter & 5y son.. I'm not much different in my diet, I'm just always the one making meals so that makes me think differently about how my family of 4 takes in their fuel/food. I also absolutely never seem to get off my feet in the majority of the time I am out of bed. So that might have an impact as well. Chocolate milk is the exception btw 😂😂
simple answer: US is the king of making good tasting food that isn't satiating and has no nutrients so you just keep eating.
Amount of fat/grease, sauce, cheese, sugar americans use is insane to the rest of the world. USA, due to the FDA, has the worst quality food on earth. Even worse than a poor country in africa or asia due to quantity.
It's all rigged. Fast food and hospitals love one another Disgusting. When I was first an RN working in ghetto Denver, there was a Mc Donalds @ the entrance. OMG. Yeah that is/was Denver General which is now called something else like Denvr Health Oh yeah. My gyms both have liquor stores and fast food right there in the same little turn-ins. It has turned my mind into an aggressive NO
@@gigi9301hardly surprising. When something like healthcare is made private for profit, they have no incentive to lower their customer base. Same as for profit prisons. A lot of things are really fucked in the United states
F yeah Mark, you keep putting in that work. Sucesses can snowball just like failures. It's all about maintaining that momentum! Keep putting in the work every day, keep working on your diet & with the gastric bypass surgery you'll lose even more weight! (My dad had that surgey a few years back and lost a ton of weight because of it)
The only thing standing between you & where you wanna be is your own sense of commitment. If you're not willing to commit, you'll never get anywhere. But once you do go all in on making a change, you'll be amazed at the rate of your progress after a while!
Sad it took Mark that long, but depression is one hell of an emotion and he truly is putting the work in now. Those moments we take for granted that remind him it's working like that seatbelt part are bigger motivational impacts than seeing numbers on the scale go down.
For me it was getting to ride a roller coaster again. I spent my entire youth looking forward to the yearly trip to Kings Island. Lost my parents, got depressed; ate my problems away. Decided on a whim to go again, couldn't ride a single one, not a single fucking ride. Was devastated and embarrassed, lost the weight; rode one and it clicked. It was all worth it and have changed my entire lifestyle, eat only for energy go do things that get me moving as my hobbies like cycling, kayaking, hiking.
Buying this guys book immediately. My mom was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes when I was 17 years old and presumably already had diabetes untreated for 3-4 years before being diagnosed. Not taking care of herself and having untreated medical problems on top of being a 2 pack a day smoker lead her to having a stroke. I’m now the mom of a 6 year old and I encourage fresh food with every meal and we have our own garden in my backyard. Food is absolutely an addiction. My heart goes out to everyone dealing with diabetes.
Type 2 has a genetic component as well. You can eat healthy and exercise all you want and and still get it. Japan also has the same percentage of diabetes, with 1/10 the rate of obesity. It’s not all food related
@@jeffreyfiggins4573 But still, genetic or not, how you manage the condition of your body will make it easier for your body to deal with an unavoidable disease or make it impossible.

Anything with lard stay far away from if you don't want to be a lardass. The lunch ladies at my high school (all tubbalards) put it in the biscuits and gravy and I gained about 20 pounds of fat my senior year and I didn't know why. I never want to eat anything with that crap in it ever again.
Agreed. It's easy to put weight on, but a different job to get rid of it. And the amount of fat he's shed makes him some kind of hero...
Kudos to David for writing a chiodrens book on health topic. I really hope David and his other sister would be able to recover and heal from their illness..Sending them ❤ and healing vibes 🙏
Young, middle aged, or the boomers. Death has no bias towards age. 😮 Everyone should think about where she/he goes after this life. 😅 Don't wait until the end comes, and death swoops down for you.
Have u ever thought about whether u go to heaven or hell after this life? Look at how many peeps die each day...but there's real hope...
There's a way to not suffer, not be in danger, not be poor, not get hurt, not have to work in vain, not have to feel any kind of negative vibe, & not to be disrespected anymore by anyone.
Imagine you will be invincible, immortal, and holy with a new, upgraded body. Imagine everyone around you will be the same as you without ranking/hierarchy. Isn't that a delightful thought? It's true you or anyone can have eternal life.
All you got to do is to accept Jesus Christ 🙏 as your Savior! Once you do, He will let you into heaven during your day when you finally see Him!
God does like you. You have to reach out to Him by prayers 🙏 ❤️ ♥️. Let Him know your issues 🙏 He is listening to you.

Hey mark, your doing an awesome job, stick with it don’t let negativity invade your life👍👍
Loved the memo at the end so much! Thanks for the awesome vid!
My grandmother (Mexican abuelita) lived to 108 - she was poor by US standards and lived on a small self sustaining farm in Jerez, Zacatecas. Her Mexican food (all traditional, handmade, and organic) was nothing like the stuff in these restaurants. Lots of honey, soups, beans, real tortillas, free range eggs and fresh milk - real cheese. They didn’t eat tacos nonstop. She also exercised naturally caring for kids and animals and was never overweight even after 12 kids. We could learn a lot from the people that lived like that. The infiltration of Walmart, Cheetos, coke, fast food, tacos and cheese and sour cream covered huge plates of food has caused a lot of health problems in Mexico.
Yes, if we all ate like people in the 1800s in most cultures whether US, Mexico or here in the UK we would be fine. My great grandmother had 11 children (10 lived) and she was not obese, may be a bit over weight but not obese. She did all the physical work people did in those days and had the usual whole food diet of the day - lots of fish as they lived near the sea etc.
It’s a revolving cycle of the US system not wanting you to be healthy. Fat lazy citizens aren’t bothered to fight against the government. So too, you”re at risk for poor health which funds the healthcare system which funds employers insurance rates. Poor health factors into a lower mortality rate not living to see retirement. In return, pensions, retirement funds aren’t paid out by employers and goes into god only knows where. The same companies that own the healthcare systems are the same ones funding preservatives and fast food industries. Almost everything is one way or another lab influenced in the US food industry and that’s the problem.
Yeah the authentic stuff shouldn't be this unhealthy.
@@janesmith9024 Actually, we probably should be eating less than they did! Most jobs are sedentary instead of physical now, which means people are burning significantly less calories a day. You can't really get fat while working a physical job because you burn through absolutely everything you eat, you never get a surplus of energy because you're usually at a deficit.
well said

What pisses me off is that EBT from the government pays for premium bakery food. I never buy it because I can't afford it.
I was 328 lbs. I started changing my diet (higher protein, less carbs), working on portion control and going on simple walks everyday. I’m down 30 lbs in 10 weeks and feel great. After so many health issues, I needed to stop. A trip to the ER because of chest pain due to insanely high blood pressure, I knew I needed to do something. I’m 34 with 2 very young daughters and I want to be able to see them grow up and have families of their own. I don’t want to die at 50 because I have no will power. Going to keep pressing on and losing the weight.
The fact that you met David the children's food author while filming this was no coincidence. I hope his book gets the recognition it needs.

Mark. Doing the work. ❤ awsome.
Health is a decision. One good decision at a time.
Can you imagine how great their gyms must be? No waiting for a bench or machine at any time of day, ever 🎉
8:38 Huge respect to Mark actually pulling of the splits. Was not expecting he could actually pull it off and I'm glad he pushed through his weight problems to be able to do something like that with his body. And so cute he felt grateful for being able to put his seatbelt on again
Hey I weigh 110lb max and I can't do the splits.
@@tkatrich3 And I've been morbidly obese for most of my life and have been able to do the splits lol. It has nothing to do with your weight, some people are born with more flexible hip joints or exercize to stretch them out.
I love how he just casually walks up to a worker in the taco restaurant when she asks "What are you guys doing?" and he basically says "Oh were just showing people that your tacos are murderers!" :D

Quite informative video. Nice work sir.
Great video. Thank you. Informative and entertaining. The security guard at the mall has not missed any meals either.
I cried when he was able to put the seatbelt on and said he hadn’t been able to in years 😭❤️ so proud of him
Thank you!

The fact that one meal is almost a full days worth of calories for most people is mind boggling

Great job bringing awareness to this epidemic. Praying for Mark and everyone else that's putting in the work to get healthier and save their lives.
Lmfao the guy on the Segway! The way he kept following him and shook his head
The chunky security guard following them out the mall, on a Segway, with a scowl on his face, while wearing a helmet, is one of the most pathetic things I've ever seen.
mallcops aren't people
They won't need a knee joint replacement that way.

Certain aspects of Mexican cuisine can be considered less healthy due to ingredients like refined carbohydrates, excessive amounts of cheese, and fried preparations. However, many traditional Mexican dishes incorporate fresh vegetables, lean proteins, and whole grains, offering a balanced and nutritious meal. It’s the choices within the cuisine that determine its healthiness.
AGREED!! not mexican but grew up in az (iykyk lol)
Yes 100%..my boyfriend is diabetes 2 and when I make chilli I don't use any oil &drain all fat off the mince ..lots of veg &brown rice x
It’s not fat that’s making people obese, it’s sugar. If you watch throughout the video, you’ll see that sugar is in every part. Whether it’s pastries, soda, ketchup, etc. It’s also the ingredients that food in America is made with. Example, go look at the ingredients in American made ketchup and Canadian made ketchup. McDonald’s French fries in the US, vs McDonald’s fries in the UK. Pasta made in Italy, and pasta made in America. Other countries won’t import our food the way it’s made here.
@@deejay7060 sugar doesn’t make you fat, as someone who was “big boned” my whole life, tried every diet in the book- keto, vegan, raw vegan, intermittent fasting, OMAD, egg diet, and then some and then lost over 50lbs (healthily!! w exercise and moderation and have kept it off for years now) to be a healthy weight sugar doesn’t make you fat, sugar is in everything like you said, you can try and avoid sugar but it will fail bc like you said it is in EVERYTHING!! so how would that be the culprit? or everyone would be fat bf we all eat lol the culprit is PORTION SIZES and moderation!! if you want a cookie- have a cookie or two and add some dried fruit or nuts on the side to keep you fill longer and add fiber and protein which also help keep you full longer don’t eat a whole sheet of cookie, simple as that. add to your food never subtract or you will feel deprived and the diet will fail. if you want a taco or two have a taco or two!! have a salad on the side or a sweet potato to keep you full longer but also add healthy fats and fiber to the meal, that is something everyone can do and works.
@@brigettelancome4063 excessive amount of sugar will absolutely make you fat. Sorry about not using the word excessive. I just assumed any person of reasonable intelligence would understand that. Silly me. I also didn’t mention portion control, moderation and caloric intake because anyone with an IQ above 5 already knows these things. Also, there is no such thing as “big boned”. A simple Google search will tell you so. That is a term overweight vvomen use to justify their overweightness.
Davids book! ❤ What a beautiful move to make! How many children you will reach! ♡♡♡
Le echa la culpa a la comida mexicana cuando son las hamburguesas con tocino lo mas novico
sadly it won't reach any children. Parents put electronics in front of their kids to keep them occupied not books or coloring books like back in the days.
That seatbelt looks good on you Mark!!❤❤❤
As a resident of Mcallen, I know firsthand the pandemic of obesity in our community. Thank you for shedding light on our problem, hopefully it can connect to people and change their ways
Wasn't aware it was this bad at Mcallen
I guess when you're used to obesity thats just everyday
I might need to know more places to see the difference
Luckily I've lost 30-40 pounds over the last years, so I'm healthier than ever
Still long road ahead
The whole RGV is obese, I worked in IT healthcare which included data analytics in that area for 15 years, it’s really bad, eating habits from childhood to adulthood to senior adulthood do not change, and they are suppose too, it becomes easy to go get fast food than prep your own “healthy meals” also the culture with Mexican dinning and Mexican cooking methods don’t help the situation.
The food in the US sucks. Products that are on sale here have been banned in other developed nations
I was going to correct you and say epidemic instead of pandemic but nah it’s a pandemic.
In Mcallen, is there many good and safe places to walk, bicycle around? I think living in car centered, car dependent communities definitely are a factor for obseity....I live in NH, and there really is very few fat people, you just don't see much of it. Fast food is uncommon, plenty of safe roads to bicycle and walk along...I can walk to the market, post office, etc from my house....when I was living down south, and in san Antonio years ago, the entire suburbs outside downtown were just car centered subdivisions where you really couldn't walk or bike safely, if at all. The roads just were not set up for it. You were forced to drive to get place to place as nothing was really centralized, either.
lol - the look and head shake of the security guy made me chuckle... Go Mark! Staying fit and healthy in America is a whole feat in itself - so coming BACK from this much weight is fantastic and definitely not easy. But the payoff is a whole new quality of life - I am rooting for everyone who is currently on that journey!
I swear the security guard even smirked at the end 😂😂
When he told him to hop on his mobility scooter 😂😂 I was hoping that extra seat would come in handy.
that security gaurd is gonna get fat they dont walk anymore?
Wishing people would get healthier and a better life is good but bullying them is disgusting
Clearly hates his job😂
10:22 I don’t know why but this moment right has so much positive energy in it.
Fantastic video! Thank you very much!
Actually the "finish everything on your plate" goes hand in hand with hearty food. Historically, the people and places where this is predominant were poor, with a lot of physical labor involved. Times have changed, habits have changed, but mentalities did not.
Definitely not. Even older generation of americans gave up long long ago like my neighbor Maria 😂
it honestly depends on how much is in your plate
the thought of 'finish everything in your plate' works hand in hand with 'take only how much you can eat'
a way to avoid food wastage but peeps nowadays are def taking it in the wrong way
That wasn't really a thing though. I always had to finish a part of the vegetables and all the meat. Meat's fine, but an animal needed to die for that. Which is fine for eating, but NEVER fine for wasting.
It may not surprise you that in my language, the words for something being wasted, and sin, are the same: zonde
No. It's about serving a reasonable portion you can finish. Wasting food because it looks cool to serve those big plates is dumb. In a lot of countries you get served a normal portion and it's just what you need.
100%
My heart goes for both David and Mark for the difficulties that they've been through and might still be going through. Also we all root for you Mark! don't give up you got this!
Mark is gonna be fine.
Young, middle aged, or the boomers. Death has no bias towards age. 😮 Everyone should think about where she/he goes after this life. 😅 Don't wait until the end comes, and death swoops down for you.
Have u ever thought about whether u go to heaven or hell after this life? Look at how many peeps die each day...but there's real hope...
There's a way to not suffer, not be in danger, not be poor, not get hurt, not have to work in vain, not have to feel any kind of negative vibe, & not to be disrespected anymore by anyone.
Imagine you will be invincible, immortal, and holy with a new, upgraded body. Imagine everyone around you will be the same as you without ranking/hierarchy. Isn't that a delightful thought? It's true you or anyone can have eternal life.
All you got to do is to accept Jesus Christ 🙏 as your Savior! Once you do, He will let you into heaven during your day when you finally see Him!
God does like you. You have to reach out to Him by prayers 🙏 ❤️ ♥️. Let Him know your issues 🙏 He is listening to you.

I started crying when the guy was talking about the children’s book he made. It’s so great he is trying to make a difference, turning his own personal struggles and losses into something good for others. My sister just got diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. I’ve been vegan for years (and I’m super healthy) and she is finally giving a whole foods plant based diet a try after she watched What the Health, and Forks Over Knives. I have hope that she can reverse her diabetes, get healthy, and live a better life.
Also vegan & extremely healthy 👍 I hope your sister can turn her health around.

Mark is a fkn beast let’s goooo !!!!❤🔥🔥🔥
I salute Mark for going to the gym and losing all that weight. During the Pandemic I couldn't go to the gym so I bought a bunch of exercise equipment and set it up at my house. Unlike most people, I actually use my equipment regularly. My neighbor's could see and hear me working our every other day. I invited them to use my equipment. Only two actually did, and both quit in less than a minute, both were women. A male neighbor quit without even trying. I've had a few friends reach that lose weight or die point. Every single one of them choose death over exercise and diet. One has actually died, another can't even get out of bed by himself to go to the bathroom, he is under 65. Oh, despite trying to encourage dozens of people to exercise, I've had a zero percent success rate. I know it's not me because at my rec center, I actually ran an exercise class when the coach couldn't make it, and I always got compliments, no complaints.
Same here, i never exercised and about 2 years ago @ 37 years old i started out with a dumbbell set. Now my whole basement is a gym i have everything ill ever need and i exercise regularly.
@@daterxies good for you friend, you should be proud!
You sound very critical of these people. I think by the time they accumulated that much fat it must be twice or three times as hard compared to average weight people to lose weight so I am sympathetic of them. The only solution may be surgery. Though I do agree that more average weight people including myself should exercise more. I would use your equipment if you lived close to me but I also have some in my own house.
@@user-op8lh8nr8ithey really just need to start walking and then eventually start running. Or some something fun that's encourages movement.
I spent the past 7 years barely exercising due to college workload. Now that I am in the work force, I have a lot more time in the weekends, so I started playing airsoft. Now I'm trading fat for muscle and I've been feeling a lot healthier. I have ran around with 30 pounds of gear without much problem.
@@user-op8lh8nr8i Not saying it is impossible but I doubt most people have the will power to lose weight when they weigh 400 to 600 pounds and changing your eating habits also require will power. That is why there are "fat camps" for people but those same people go back to their old eating habits afterwards. It is the same way with addiction in western or free democratic countries where people value freedom and privacy so much no one checks up on one another. This is why people with addictions can die from it because there is no sense of community and they have the "freedom" to binge eat.
If a 700 pound man can turn his life around, then my 280ish pound self can do it too. This was inspiring to watch, to be honest. Thank you for that.
Of course you can. Every day is a new opportunity. Don't focus on losing the weight. At all. Focus on changing your lifestyle. Your body will respond in a positive way.
You for surely do it
you can do it man! just remember taking small steps is better than not taking any. If i have any advice to give about staying motivated is focus on the positives it gives you (for example you could do 10 push ups and then die of exhaustion, two days later you can do ten push ups and not die of exhaustion).
^Take it with a grain of salt though, what works for me might not work for you
I’m 240 ish you aren’t alone. Losing weight is extremely hard. I’ve been on it for years, but the food is just so good.
crazy how people eat out every day
This made me hungry! But seriously, this is a great video. Thanks!
3:54 bro had no fear of getting kicked out. he was being brutality honest
BUT WE'LL BE QUICK LOL
Huge respect for Mark, I think people don't realize what the pandemic did to a lot of people. I admit I gained weight too and got into a very unhealthy lifestyle as we weren't allowed to go 1km away from our homes. I wasn't able to go to work either cause everything was closed and even though I got out of the situation alright, I realize it was an easy time for people to fall into depression and extremely unhealthy habits. I am so glad that he took action and is going for it 100%. The doctor who told him he stands no chance without surgery really shocked me, losing that much weight might be really hard but seeing the work Mark is putting into it he'll definitely make much more progress.
How can you support someone who's so nasty and disgusting and someone who makes fun of other people just because the way that they look hes a? Disgusting person to make fun of someone.
i gained like 12 kilos
went from 230-270 now i'm around 250 aiming for 190 by next year. but yeah covid was brutal. i hope people make the change and find a routine that suits them.
@@TheCanadianCitizen A lot of people are trying the Carnivore way of eating. It seems to work, not only for weight loss, but also ailments, aches and pains!
@@src5769 that only works in the short term you are flooding your digestion system with protein causing a natural deficit in carbs and other nutrients (some of which easily turn into fat). But by only eating meat your body has to work harder to get the nutrients it needs because proteins are not a one-stop shop for muscle growth or healthy living all they're doing is getting temporary results by shocking their body into a volatile state.
i went on a school trip to mcallen we went to the same whataburger and the same mall even stayed at the same hotel as you. We were there to learn about immigration but i was really surprised at the amount of obese people. fun trip tho, great video.
that guy was pretty cool. hope he continues improving
In my opinion, there is a major factor into obesity in this country that i never hear people talking about. We are living in such an unfulfilling society that for millions of people food is their main source of happiness.
Especially when you’re poor
Bingo!
And not even good food
That's just sad
