British YouTuber BillyTheTitan took on a fitness challenge to see how much weight he could lose by running every day. He continually updates his progress in videos, two of which have gone massively viral. After nine months, Billy pumped the breaks on the challenge—but his results were still truly impressive.
He started the challenge at 238 pounds in January. From there, he documented his journey of running on a treadmill (shirtless) every single day for the next 9 months. As the time goes by, you can tell he’s losing weight. By May 1, he is down to 197 pounds, totaling 41 pound loss. By June, he’s down to 192 pounds. As the months go by, he offers the following stats:
July: 195 pounds
August: 190 pounds
September: 188 pounds
October: 185 pounds
November: 183 pounds
Billy notes that while he was able to keep his streak alive and well for nine months—but by that time, his body and mind were telling him it was time for a break.
“I realised that I needed to take a break from running every day. I was making myself unwell as I was trying to balance my full time job, several side projects, exercising every day and some personal issues,” he wrote in the video’s description.
He notes that he won’t completely stop exercising, but that it’s time he takes a rest.
“I will still keep up with other exercises and will try to maintain my weight but I really do need a rest,” he wrote. “I think it is important to take a step back and realise when you need to take a break from something.”
So when he gave an update of where he was by January 1, at 226 pounds. He also shared his workout program in a separate video, noting that he went from only being able to run for 15 minutes at a time at the start of the challenge to over an hour and a half. He also upped his speed throughout the nine-month journey.
“I will resume my running every day videos in the new year when I should be fully rested and remotivated!” he wrote.
However, his followers were more impressed with what he’d achieved during his streak, losing a total of 55 pounds.
“Damn I’m more and more impressed by the progress you’ve been able to make as time goes on! Keep it up we are all rooting for you 😊 and also, you’re mental health comes first I’m glad you are treating yourself well,” one commenter wrote.
