| Jesse Shand’s transformation in two years – where there is a will there is fitness (Video below) |
October 30, 2015, NewsCrunch
With good help from a fitness forum, Jesse Shand, who weighed 653 pounds just two years ago, has managed to lose a good deal of it.
He was so fat he could not take bath, get into a car or get out of the trailer, where he lived with his mom.
He spent all his time inside the trailer playing video games, surfing and trolling others as he says to spread negativity all around.
While in one of his dark moods, Jesse Shand posted his pictures on www.Bodybuilding.com, just to invite a backlash. Instead of that, he found sympathy, expert advise and goading from strangers to get active and lose weight.
He started by walking around his trailer, then running slowly, increasing the number of laps steadily. He started doing squats, working out with dumbbells gifted by community members.
He walked, cycled and changed diet, and was able to fit into the car and could drive to a nearby gym, whose membership again was a gift from the members. There Jesse Shand got into anything he could lay his hands on - racquetball, weightlifting, cardio, basketball, swimming. And there was no turning back.
Jesse Shand has lost more than half of his original weight and plans to go under the knife to get rid of the sagging skin. He is applying for jobs and is hopeful of getting one which will let him move out of his mother’s trailer and live independently.
