Kevin Jones has three pictures of himself on the “wall of success” at a local weight-loss clinic. The 36-year-old Dayton, Ohio, resident is the only client to have reached the ‘400-pounds-lost’ milestone, and he’d be the first to tell you the photos are a real reminder of how far he’s come, but also something he’s proud of himself for accomplishing.

While Jones was always a little overweight, he thought he was in decent shape throughout his school years. Once he graduated high school, however, he didn’t have the same structure to keep himself active, and he slowly started gaining weight. When he started doing stand-up comedy, he needed help getting on stage because he couldn’t climb the steps. He eventually was only leaving the house for work.
