Tom decided six years ago he needed to make some changes when he hit 353 pounds in college.
"I always saw myself like I am now, in shape and lean and whatever. No one sees themselves as morbidly obese."
Now the 26 year-old is working as a personal trainer and finds his story inspiring to clients.
"People will come in and say 'You don't know what it is like', you have always had a six pack," said Larson.
Larson says his success not only inspired his twin sister to lose 100 pounds, but also his mother to drop 40 through dieting.
