Justin is well on his way to achieving his goals. After a long road, he has lost 300 pounds from his peak weight. Read for a full update on Justin Williamson.
Who is Justin Williamson?
From Amarillo, Texas, Justin Williamson is a sweet young man who is filled with talent and potential.
Though he struggled socially in school, he remained kind to others. Justin was regularly bullied by his classmates and ridiculed and picked on because of his weight.
Justin's weight inhibited much of his life, making him worry if he would be able to leave for college with the rest of his graduating class. Because his weight was an impediment to his mobility, he didn't know if he could make it.
In addition, Justin was consistently underestimated when he expressed an interest in music and passion for singing. Many people thought Justin couldn't make it as a big star without the Hollywood look. Despite this, Justin's singing went completely viral. People were stunned and impressed by his ability. Check out this video of Justin singing “Ain’t No Mountain High Enough” at his high school, River Road High School.
