When Powell arrived to help, Hall weighed 548 pounds at his first weigh-in.

"Wow, I look at this number and I'm motivated," he said at the time. "My goal is to get into the "twos" and officially bring sexy back."

In the next year, with Powell at his side, Hall pushed through the highs and lows of his weight-loss journey.

"I'm just going to keep pushing because I can't be 548 [pounds]," he said. "The next number after 548 is death."

After one year on Powell's program, Hall weighed in at 267 pounds and had dropped from a size 70 waist to a size 38. His total weight loss came to more than 280 pounds.
