Determined to take control of his health and future, he made the decision to prioritize his well-being. Reflecting on his decision, Cole shared on Twitter: “Two years ago I decided I didn’t want to die young. I didn’t want to get diabetes. I didn’t want to never know my true potential. I decided to take my life back. 330+ lbs down and I’m not done yet. Believe in yourself!”

The Hard-Earned Transformation
Cole’s transformation wasn’t easy. Throughout his journey, he faced numerous challenges, but his determination to succeed kept him going. He shared progress photos, including a shirtless image that he admitted was difficult to post, but one that represented just how far he had come. “It’s very hard to share a shirtless picture, but I’ve come so far. Over 336lbs down! Most didn’t believe in me but I believed in myself,” Cole posted.
His inspiring story quickly gained traction online, with many fans and followers offering words of encouragement. One supporter commented: “Keep pushing bruv. You inspired me to start on my weight loss journey. I need to lose about 120lbs to stay lean and fit. Starting the journey as we speak.”
Next Challenge: Excess Skin Removal
While Cole has reached his weight loss goal, his journey is not yet over. He now faces the next challenge: dealing with excess skin resulting from his significant weight loss. To address this, Cole has started a GoFundMe campaign, hoping to raise $100,000 for surgery. In his heartfelt message, he explained: “My weight goal has been reached but my life is not complete, and it will not be complete until I can get rid of this excess skin.”
How He Achieved His Weight Loss
Cole’s remarkable weight loss was achieved through a disciplined approach that combined healthy eating, regular gym sessions, and walking at least 10,000 steps a day. His consistent effort and commitment to a healthier lifestyle helped him shed more than 330 pounds, and he continues to push forward toward his goals.
Reflecting on his transformation, Cole shared his thoughts: “People didn’t believe in me, but I believed in myself. Over 361 pounds down, and I’m not done yet. You can do anything you put your mind to. I hope my story can be an inspiration to others trapped in this same type of situation.”
