Dad Loses 42 Kilos In 5 Months, And It Changes All Aspects Of His Life (5 pics)

Posted in RANDOM 14 May 2019 5228 5

It was supposed to be a cool day with the family. Jeremiah planned a hiking trip with his wife and kids. But instead of having a memorable adventure, he was defeated by his excessive weight. “I found myself running out of breath and having to take breaks way before my 9, 7, and 6-year-olds,” he recalls.

He says that this was the point at which he understood that life could no longer go on in the same way. He wanted to build good memories in his heart, but he only saw himself tired and breathless. He thought about his family and all the responsibilities he had. “I knew I HAD to make some serious changes in my life.”

There were some other reasons that pushed this dad to change his life. For example, he hated seeing himself in photos because he was too uncomfortable with his look. And he was not alone. He understood that his family was also embarrassed by how fat he was.

There was a moment when he was hurrying to help his wife and kids change a flat tire near the school they studied at. He forgot to put his shirt on and saw the mortified looks from his family. He knew that they didn’t want all the other parents and children to see his big fat belly. No doubt, this was probably difficult to swallow.

In 2017, he reached his heaviest weight of 292 pounds. But he wanted to end this suffering, and that’s why the life-changing decision was made. Jeremiah started to follow a diet, refused to drink alcohol, hiked, and went to the gym every day. And the results were surely worth it.

He managed to lose 92 pounds in 150 days. But what is more important is that this challenge helped him change not only his clothing size, but his whole life. He admits that he never realized how lazy he was. “I had been a slacker with my family and at my own business, and this change has rocked my world.”

Peterson says that you have to get rid of excuses to start this journey. Because you will always have them. You will always have other things to focus on — children, wife, business, friends. But if you have no time for yourself, you will never have quality time with those you really care for.

does his diet include steroids?

(sarcasm on) impressive motivation story. 42kg in 5 months means more then 8kg per month means more then 2kg a week. With out a stomach bypass and of course without ANY drugs. (sarcasm off)

I believe, that is possible. I managed 30 kg in 3 months a few years ago. Just water, moderate fruit and a lot of sports. It takes a lot of discipline, but it works. But this guy, i assume, there was some chemistry too to get this muscle mass. But yes, it changes your life, your self-confidence, the way you spend the day. It is worth it.

And what happened with the extra-skin? Also, notice he's always wearing a (backward fitted!) cap, to mask the not yet receding hair line. He's surely from another timeline.
