A few years ago, this man weighed nearly 270 kg 😢 Because of his excess weight, his wife took their son and left home 😲 He had to work as a taxi driver, but one day he decided to change his life 😢
Now, he weighs only 90 kg and works as a fitness trainer 😲 Just look at how much he has transformed.
A few years back, Alexander was given no more than two years to live. He was just over thirty at the time and weighed nearly 270 kilograms.
His weight issues started in childhood: after a serious illness, doctors strictly advised a special diet, but neither Alexander nor his family took the recommendations seriously.
Pies, sweets, sugary sodas—all became a regular part of his diet.
Over time, his health sharply declined. Veins swelled in his right leg, he developed liver pain, and his hemoglobin levels dropped drastically.
He could no longer sleep lying down—only sitting up. Constant fatigue, shortness of breath, and ultimately, social isolation followed.
Even his home life fell apart: his wife, who had married him when he was already overweight and had lived with him for several years, couldn’t take it anymore. She said she couldn’t live like that and left, taking their son with her. The marriage ended in divorce.
Left alone, without family and a steady job, Alexander tried to find work but was rejected everywhere—his weight became an obstacle even in places where it shouldn’t have mattered.
He then bought a used car and became a taxi driver.
Nearly a year passed—alone behind the wheel, his thoughts grew heavier. He tried losing weight many times—strict diets, weight-loss marathons, setbacks, relapses, and new attempts.
But one day, as he later said, “the day came when I was tired of dying.”
He started small: walks, cutting out sugar, replacing sweet drinks with water. Then he consulted a dietitian, controlled his nutrition, and joined online support groups. Slowly but surely, he began losing weight. Then he started going to the gym.
At first, he could barely manage 10 minutes on the treadmill. But his persistence paid off. After a year, Alexander weighed 130 kg; six months later, he was down to 90. During that time, he didn’t just change his body—he completely transformed his life.
He earned a second degree and became a certified fitness trainer specializing in helping people with obesity.
