Last Updated: It started with an epiphany in January 2023 about the potential impact his obesity could have on his lifespan. An Ohio man has shared an inspirational journey of his insane physical transformation, leaving social media stunned. Ryan Grewell shed a whopping 275 lbs (almost 125 kg) over a period of two years, he claimed in a Reddit post last month.

At the start of the impressive transformation, he weighed 487 lbs (220.8 kg), according to the 36-year-old's Reddit post. The journey, however, was not easy. It started with an epiphany in January 2023 about the potential impact his obesity could have on his lifespan. 'Fix my health or I would have an abbreviated life," Grewell said in his Reddit post. He admitted during an interview that his lifestyle was utterly sedentary and he was used to having fast food for all three meals. After his realisation, Grewell tried walking to lose weight but soon realised his knees could not keep up. The man then switched to cycling. As part of his commitment, Grewell also 'cut fried foods, sweets, alcohol" from his diet, he said on Reddit. Since beginning his weight loss efforts, Grewell had lost nearly 70 lbs (32 kg) by May 2023. Reflecting on the transformative journey, he said that the weight loss was 'way faster" than he had imagined. Along the way, he developed a passion for cycling, which he described as the 'catalyst" in turning his ambition into reality. 'I have loose, extra skin around my belly and thighs. In November of this year I will get that removed," he said in a Reddit post.

Yes, I have lost 275 pounds, and I'm not 100% where I want to be yet. It's happened way faster than I thought it would, and biking is what has been the catalyst to make this all come to being. I have loose, extra skin around my belly and thighs. In November of this year I will get that removed. I keep joking that it'll be great for my biking because it'll boost my watts per kilogram," he wrote on Reddit.
