Man Loses 200 Pounds To Do This One Thing

Jared Ream loves to eat. At his biggest he weighed 430 pounds! For years he tried to lose weight, but could never stick with it for more than a few weeks and then he would put it all back on. Till he found a real motivation.

"I reduced my diet down to around 2,000 calories. I was exercising daily within my garage. While binge-watching television shows, I would run in place,” said Ream.
