Japanese YouTuber Ruibosu halved his body weight over one year, starting at 137kg in September 2019
to 68.5kg in August 2020.

Finding a suitable diet and exercise plan can be intimidating for some. Even if
you managed to find one, it can be difficult to sustain the motivation to complete
the regimen as well. But for Japanese YouTuber Ruibosu, he found both the will
and determination over this one year to make his weight loss come true.
Formerly morbidly obese, at 137kg with 42.9% body fat last September, Ruibosu
has since halved his weight to 68.5kg with 18.6% body fat! What was once a
round and bloated belly has evolved into six-pack abs:

This is Ruibosu at 68.5kg currently.

In the beginning, he could not do much due to his size. But the important thing
was to work around what he could do, such as:
leg raises;
skipping rope;
crunches;
And planking.
After three months of perseverance, his weight dropped from 137kg to 108kg —
that is about 10kg every month!
Even on days with heavy rain, Ruibosu would still execute his exercise plan
because of a promise made with himself.
Despite finding it uncomfortable to take and look at pictures of his body at the
start, Ruibosu continued pushing on and exercising within his limits.
He also tried out a variety of challenges: incline push-ups, incline pull-ups,
weight lifting, and even kickboxing. Ruibosu admitted that taking up kickboxing
was nerve-racking at first, but it was actually pretty fun.
Before long, Ruibosu gradually lost weight over one year and was rewarded with
a much more toned body with defined muscles and abs. But what is even more
stunning is how his features appeared a lot sharper after losing weight, as if he
had become another person.

A netizen joked that even his family, whom he has not met for a year, would not
recognise him. Another said, “His friends would be confused if this handsome
guy appeared a year later.”
Needless to say, Ruibosu has become a source of inspiration for those wanting
to lose weight. His resilience and hard work have undoubtedly won the respect of
many.
