“Had an Inflatable Balloon Inserted”: Years After Bizarre Weight Loss Techniques, Man’s 137lbs Journey Ended With a ‘Resilient’ Face

Bryan O’Keeffe tried every fat loss fad but to no avail. He would gain all the lost pounds, eventually making him look even fatter. But the man of determination didn’t accept the defeat. He took charge of his life and ventured on a new fitness journey. The 34-year-old took a unique step to achieve his weight loss goals.

He succeeded in his quest to shed the extra pounds after 7 months of a disciplined life. His family and friends are shocked to see him as a 138lbs young man. He shared his inspiring journey on his Instagram profile with  74.1K followers.

Bryan O’Keeffe shifted to a small village to focus on weight loss goals

November 2021 was about to change O’Keeffe’s life as he thought of listening to the book ‘Can’t Hurt Me’ by David Goggins. Inputs from the book encouraged him to deal with the most persistent problem of his life, obesity, in a new way. 

In the Instagram video from September 2022, he revealed, “At the end of last year, I decided I need to change my life. So, I packed my bags and moved out to the Mallorcan wilderness.” He informed his followers that he was trying every diet and exercise for 15 years, but nothing worked out for him.

“I even had an inflatable balloon inserted into my stomach and every time I failed,” he confessed. But he tried something different this time, “Instead of focusing on the scales, I focused on being mentally resilient, Building discipline!” And for 7 months he secluded himself from his family and friends and trained 5 hours a day and lost 137 lbs. He learned to analyze his failures from the book, which made him leave his dear ones for goals.

The 34-year-old realized his weakness 

He captioned the Instagram post, “The one question I keep getting asked is – ‘How did I do it?'” The fitness coach opened up that he figured that he had a weakness for his friends and family that resulted in an unhealthy lifestyle. 

“When my friends go out for drinks or my family go out for dinner, I want to be there,” he wrote. This made him shift away from family and cut all communications and he trained hard to succeed in his weight loss journey! And the result is evident!
