He hated what he saw in the mirror.
90kg to 77kg.
13kg down at 55 years old.
When Janis first reached out, he told me he hated what he saw in the mirror.
He wasn’t the fattest guy his age. But he wasn’t the man he wanted to be either.
Broken shoulders. Operations manager with a stressful job. 6 hours of sleep on weekdays. MS diagnosis since 2005.
He had every reason to say “it’s too late for me.”
He didn’t.
Instead, he showed up every single week.
Even when life was chaos.
Even when work was crushing him.
Even when he was moving flats, dealing with injuries, losing sleep, battling stress.
And his biggest struggle?
Sweets. Calorie tracking. Weekend sabotage. The classic pattern most guys know too well.
We had weeks where everything clicked. We had weeks where he told me “I have no win this week.”
But he kept showing up.
He hit his 160kg leg press goal. He ran his first Hyrox session. He learned to separate his self-worth from the number on the scale.
He stopped saying “I failed this week” and started saying “what do I need to do better.”
That mindset shift right there? That’s worth more than the 13kg.
Because at 55, with a demanding job, a body that’s taken a few hits, and a life full of real-world pressures, Janis didn’t just lose weight.
He proved to himself that he could change.
That’s the real transformation.
Proud of you, mate. This is just the beginning. 💪
