Meet 22-year-old Alex Ghica from Bucharest, Romania. He was overweight because of his addition to junk food and candy. But in the early 2010 he took a life-changing decision. The first photos of him were taken in January of 2010 when he weighed almost 256 pounds (116 kg) with 31% body fat. The later photos were taken in the end of July after his transformation where he weighs 187 pounds (85 kg) with only 14% body fat. He doesn’t want to look like a body builder, but he now exercises and only eats healthy and nutritious foods.
