Joven perdió 80 kilos y se volvió famoso en internet

Austin Shifflett llegó a pesar 144 kilos y se convirtió en la burla de sus compañeros.

El muchacho estadounidense compartió su historia de vida y su increíble pérdida de peso a través de Facebook e Instagram.

La obesidad provocó que Austin padeciera depresión. Enfermedad que empeoró cuando se paró sobre una pesa en la casa de un amigo. Al ver la balanza se percató que superaba los 100 kilos.

Después de esto se encerró en su casa y se obsesionó con los videojuegos, la bebida gaseosa y la comida chatarra.

Luego de sufrir un ataque al corazón, el joven decidió cambiar su estilo de vida para siempre. Shifflett comenzó a comer bien y a ir al gimnasio, pero de noche, para que nadie pudiera verlo.

El joven logró perder 70 kilos de peso en sólo diez meses.

Love this company and not just the franchise even though that's amazing too. I love this specific gym In particular the one located in Ruckersville Va. I remember the first time I heard about them putting one here, a lot of us had never heard of a gym that allows 24/7 access and I know I was wondering how in the heck it would even work! Me and my grandmother joined when I was in 9th grade and I worked out at 6am every morning with her before school I didn't diet back then and I wasn't really working out properly either but I still felt good going. It wasn't until years later that I started taking the gym seriously but I still went periodically through my overweight phase. Being from a small town this place was much more than a gym it was a family you see the same people every day you build relationships you give one another tips to progress. That's what it's all about. It gave me the luxury of being able to go at crazy hours throughout the night to workout so I wasn't self conscious working out in front of people at normal hours. Had this place never opened my journey may have never gotten started. Thank you so much Anytime Fitness I'm forever grateful.
