However, a life-changing experienced pushed him to work on his body and change his lifestyle. His trip to the hospital for food poisoning started his weight loss journey. He shared his experience saying:

“It escalated from there, up until when I got sick…That’s when I realized how heavy I was, when they put me on a scale at the hospital. I knew there had to be a stopping point somewhere.”

When he felt like giving up on his life, the threat of death moved him to remove all of his unhealthy habits. These included quitting smoking and cutting out sugary foods and carbonated beverages. He even took his efforts to a higher level by undergoing weight loss surgery. He also became dedicated to exercising and maintaining a healthier diet. He talked about his motivation saying:

“I almost ate myself to death, but instead I found inner strength and worked very hard to get to where I am today.”

After two years of working on his health, Zach was able to lose 350 pounds. However, his massive weight loss left him with too much hanging skin which he showed off on the show, “The Doctors.” He said about his t.v. appearance:

“I stretched my frame out…It’s like an elastic, you stretch it out so many times, it gets loose.”

The doctors on the show offered to perform free excess skin removal surgery on him. Going under the knife ten times, Zach was freed from over 20 lbs of his hanging skin. Furthermore, he had several other procedures he underwent including breast reduction, muscle repair, and a severe tummy tuck to make his body firmer. His surgeries required about 2,400 stitches.

Zach Moore now sports a 140 pounds body that he said gave him a confidence boost hitting up to 1000 percent. He also said that his move towards long and fulfilling life made him feel like he can accomplish anything. Finally, Zach talked about his true inspiration in come up with his decision of changing his life saying:

“Both Amber and [my son, Zachary Jr.] are the reason I am here…They are my family. What good would I be to them if I didn’t make a change, have a heart attack, and died?”
