这里不禁问一句：
胖友们，你们的减肥大计进行得怎么样了？！
YouTube上一位叫做Jared的美国大叔，40岁之前是个450多斤的大胖子，40岁之后的他痛下决心，花了15个月减掉了270多斤，相当励志。
Jared一直就知道自己很胖，但常年的生活习惯让他害怕做出改变：
I've been fat all my entire life. Every day I've woken up heavier than I was the day before. It was a fact in life and I accepted it. I didn't want to be fat. But I didn't fight to against it because I knew it would require to change a lifestyle. Actually I knew that wasn't just about diet and exercise. It's about altering the way I lived.
我一直就是个胖子，每天醒来都比昨天重一点儿。我已经接受这个事实了。我也不想成为胖子，但我并没有抵制肥胖，因为我不想改变我的生活方式。事实上我很清楚，这不仅和运动、饮食有关，更多的是要改变生活习惯。
明明知道不能再放任自己，可天生有一颗吃货的心......
For the longest time I had no interest in changing. I knew that when I sat down to eat a box of donuts, they would made me fatter, that my back would hurt even more, and that it would be even harder to stand up and walk around.
一直以来，我都不愿意尝试改变。我知道我坐下来吃一盒甜甜圈会让我变得更肥，背也会更疼，甚至会让我难以起身行走。
终于有一天，他再也无法忍受自己的状态了：
I finally got tired of being fat and unhealthy. It’s hard to say exactly what my breaking point was. It could have been when I passed the five hundred pound mark, but that was a year ago. Maybe it was buying pants and the largest size carried by the local fat guy clothing store.
我真的厌倦当一个不健康的胖子了。我也不知道转折点在哪儿，可能是去年我的体重突破了452斤，也可能是我去当地胖先生男装店定制特大号裤子的时候。
Jared说自己这一年就要40岁了，40岁已经不小了，应该逼自己一把了：
My birthday this year is another possibility; turning 40 is cause for reflection, isn't it? It does bother me that my performance at work has deteriorated. I’m too tired and worn out to sit in front of a computer for eight hours. I imagine that maybe it’s all of those reasons and more. Maybe it's doesn’t matter. What’s important now is that I’m ready to turn it around.
我今年的生日也是另外一个契机。都四十岁了，该反思一下了，不是吗？而且肥胖已经导致我的工作表现下滑，在电脑前坐8个小时真的很累。我想可能还有别的原因让我做出转变，或者这些都不重要。但重要的是我现在下决心要改变了。
然后，Jared就这样锻炼了15个月......
15个月后的Jared是这样的，简直让人不敢相信这是同一个人！
这个减肥效果，可以说是非常明显了！
让我们重现一下这惊人的对比：
要知道，刚开始的Jared，连腿都抬不起来......
完成这么大的转变，其中艰辛不是一两句就能说清楚的。面对着镜头的Jared，哽咽地说：
I still made a major accomplishment. I've forgotten how I opening.
我仍然完成了这项艰巨的任务，我都快忘了当时是怎么开始的。
Jared 的故事激励了许多胖友和其他的普通人：
看了Jared的故事，你有被激励到吗？其实不仅减肥需要坚持，任何事情都需要日复一日的坚持。
