If you've ever doubted yourself or given up on your fitness goals, you need the wake-up call that is this video. Arthur Boorman is a veteran who became disabled after war, and he gained so much weight that doctors told him he would never walk unassisted again. But he set out to prove them wrong, and what started as a rocky weight-loss journey turned into unimaginable success — he lost 140 pounds in 10 months. Not only did he lose the weight, but he also became so much stronger and able to walk, run, and hold yoga poses that would be tough for anyone.

Arthur's weight-loss video went viral back in 2012, but it's making rounds on the Internet again — inspirational stories are timeless, after all. If you haven't yet, do yourself a favor and watch the video; you'll definitely be inspired to keep moving. In Arthur's words, "Never underestimate what you can accomplish when you believe in yourself."
