Drew Manning

Drew Manning is a medical technician by day and a personal trainer in his spare time. When he started his experiment on May 7, 2011, Manning had a 34.5-inch waist and 17-inch neck, and he weighed 193 pounds. To gain weight, Drew Manning stopped working out and started eating fast food and drinking soda.

He then saw why his overweight clients were sometimes frustrated. “I thought I was just going to get love handles, man boobs, a big gut and then I would lose it all,” he told “Nightline.” “Complete opposite. Very, very hard.” Shown here is Manning at 222.3 pounds in week 7. Drew Manning documented his progress with a weekly blog.
