Man Sheds 'Incredible' 336 Lbs, Shares Shirtless Photo to Prove 'Nothing Is Impossible'
- South Carolina man Cole Prochaska proved "nothing is impossible" as he showed his jaw-dropping 336-lb weight loss in new photos.
- He shared a shirtless photo of himself that amazed fans and revealed his next steps in his weight-loss journey.
- Cole also spoke out about what motivated him to change his life and answered an admirer's question about his nipples.
Two photos of a South Carolina man surfaced on Twitter, sparking a debate among online users. One photo showed how the man looked before losing an unbelievable amount of weight, while the other revealed how he looks now without a shirt.
Cole Prochaska's tweet racked up more than 4 million views, where he announced losing more than 336 pounds in less than two years. Although the man felt proud of his progress, he admitted it wasn't easy for him to share a shirtless photo.
Despite achieving his incredible weight-loss goal, Prochaska still felt underconfident about his body. In another tweet, the man shared what motivated him to shed hundreds of pounds.
He revealed that he embarked on his weight-loss journey to save his dying 7-year-long relationship. Unfortunately, Prochaska could not stop his partner from leaving him, but his efforts helped him adopt a healthy lifestyle. He confessed:
"2 years ago, I decided I didn't want to die young."
Prochaska knew obesity came with multiple health problems, including diabetes, and he was sure he didn't want to put his health at risk. He weighed around 600 pounds when he decided to lose weight and "take his life back."
Shedding weight also allowed Proschaska to see his "true potential." Had he not lost weight, he would have never learned what he was capable of. It also allowed him to witness what he looked like after losing weight.
"330+ lbs down, and I'm not done yet," the man stated. In another tweet, he shared a shirtless photo of himself that forced people to ask questions and comment on how his body looked.
Why Did His Shirtless Photo Amaze Fans?
Prochaska's photo showed how shedding tremendous weight affected his body. The two-year-long weight-loss process left him with heaps of loose skin that made him feel conscious.
"Most didn't believe in me, but I believed in myself," Prochaska stated while tweeting his transformation photos. Meanwhile, Twitteratis couldn't help but share their opinions in the comments after looking at his amazing photos.
One Twitter user said, "Incredible. Great job! I don't know your weight, but you look lean enough to me."
Another stated, "You are an inspiration, my friend. Keep it going," to which Prochaska replied he wanted to inspire the maximum number of people.
"Absolutely amazing! I hope you're able to eventually deal with the extra skin to complete your transformation. WELL DONE!" a third user wrote.
After reading the comments of people concerned about his loose skin, Prochaska revealed that he planned to undergo skin surgery.
Such procedures aim to remove excess skin that people develop after losing a substantial amount of weight. However, not everyone can undergo skin removal surgery. According to experts, only people who have maintained their weight for at least six months are eligible for it.
Undergoing surgery meant Prochaska has to spend thousands of dollars. Replying to a tweet, he said he would like his insurance to cover the costs, and if that does not happen, he plans to raise funds through GoFundMe.
While netizens shared their opinions and praised Prochaska for losing weight, some people had other concerns. In other tweets, he opened up about his weight-loss journey and addressed questions related to his body, including his nipples.
What Else Did Cole Prochaska Reveal about His Weight Loss?
When a Twitterati asked Prochaska what helped him the most to lose weight, he shared his daily routine: going to the gym, walking at least 10,000 steps per day, consuming fewer calories than the number of calories burned, and increasing protein consumption.
Sticking to a strict workout routine sounds challenging, but Prochaska didn't give up. He made progress one day at a time and eventually lost all the extra weight.
"Never give up on yourself. Nothing is impossible," he tweeted as he shared his photos, aiming to motivate as many people as possible to achieve their fitness goals.
While people asked different questions in the comments section of his tweet, one user asked Prochaska if his "nipples still feel the same," to which he replied, "Same."
Trying his best to motivate his fans, Prochaska shared his transformation journey through videos too. One featured photos of him when he was overweight before showing pictures where he looked fit and muscular.
Another video started with a screenshot of a tweet that motivated men to make their ex-girlfriends regret breaking up with them. Prochaska could relate to the message because he confessed he lost weight to save his relationship.
After losing weight, Prochaska made a few changes to his lifestyle, which included riding a sleek black bike. He tweeted a photo of it, stating that he loved riding it.
Shedding hundreds of pounds through exercise and diet is challenging, but Prochaska proved it is possible. We hope he continues to inspire people through his incredible body transformation journey.
