- 11 days ago
A man lost half his body weight after ditching his annual $3.9k vodka habit – and is now winning ultra-triathlons.
Jonathan Perez, 28, had been overweight his whole life but lived an active lifestyle and loved running, swimming and martial arts.
But when the pandemic hit he struggled to keep up with his training and piled on the pounds - soon tipping the scales at 28st 5lbs and squeezing into a size 4XL.
He sank three bottles of vodka a week – costing $25 a bottle – and ordered takeaways such as Pizza Hut.
Jonathan decided to make a change after realising he couldn’t find any clothes to fit him and had a gastric sleeve in Mexico – costing him $10k.
Now Jonathan eats home-cooked foods and has lost half his body weight. He is a fit 14st 2lbs and wears a size medium.
