Could surrounding yourself with healthy food be the key to weight loss? It certainly was in this man's case.

Lucas Weaver, whose story was originally told by CNN, weighed 289 pounds in 2011. Although he was overweight and a little shy, Weaver was doing well for himself. He had just enrolled in community college, and he was excited about how well he was doing academically. Then something changed: he took a job as a dishwasher at Souplantation in Chula Vista, California, and decided it was time to put his health first. He ate what the restaurant had to offer: soup, salad, rice and cornbread. Other than that, he was only eating raw fruits and vegetables.

Within a year, Weaver had lost over a 100 pounds. "I feel like a 100 percent new person.My mind is clear and I try to find the positive in everything.”

Weaver said ,"To maintain my weight, I plan to stay focused, keep exercising and continue my active hobbies. I'm always running around at work -- I never have a chance to really sit down. And I have the healthiest of foods all around me."

Weaver now enjoys biking, hiking and going for runs, and his mother Lessley Torres said how proud she was of him.
