00:00Hello, 2025!
00:05Have you already made a list of New Year's resolutions?
00:10One of the most important goals every new year
00:14is to lose weight
00:16and make sure to be healthy throughout the year.
00:19Of course, the best day to start is this first month of the year.
00:24But the question is,
00:26can you achieve this goal for a new and healthy you?
00:34That was Andy's goal
00:36because from 136 kilos in just one year,
00:42he transformed to 97 kilos.
00:46You can really call yourself a how-to-be-you.
00:49His fitness journey,
00:51let's find out together here in Good News.
00:56When Andy was just a kid,
00:58he said he could already see his growth.
01:01I was the eldest.
01:02So for a long time, until I was 7 years old,
01:04I was the only baby.
01:05They gave me everything I wanted to eat.
01:08Until he grew up day by day.
01:12I had to wear a uniform.
01:14Every school year, we had to adjust
01:16because I grew up.
01:18When I'm happy, I eat.
01:19When I'm sad, I eat.
01:20Everything I feel, I eat.
01:23Because of this,
01:24Andy became the apple of the eye.
01:27I had a classmate who said,
01:28I don't want to be your friend anymore.
01:29Because another friend of ours said,
01:31if I'm fat, I'll go down.
01:32But as time went by,
01:34Andy said,
01:35the bashers around him just ignored him.
01:38I think I got to love who I am.
01:40He used to be a plus-size man.
01:42His love life,
01:44grew bigger.
01:46Because from being single,
01:48Andy became a double.
01:50I was a teacher before.
01:51We were in the same batch in school.
01:53He was an HR.
01:54That's when he started courting.
01:55Size doesn't really matter to him.
01:58Actually,
01:59I like someone who has a lot of weight.
02:01Because it's more fun to hug.
02:04Their love story,
02:06reached the church.
02:10Their wish back then,
02:12to have a big family.
02:15But because of Andy's situation,
02:17the couple had a hard time.
02:19We were both frustrated.
02:21It reached a point where,
02:23I realized that,
02:24maybe it's just the two of us.
02:27My body is not fit to have children.
02:30The doctor was sure that,
02:31I will just miss Carrie.
02:33That's when Andy found out,
02:35that because of his continuous growth,
02:37his health was also affected.
02:40Type 2 diabetes,
02:41nodular goiter,
02:43high cholesterol,
02:44plus PCOS.
02:45I was a bit scared then.
02:47So I said,
02:48I really need to take this seriously.
02:50I have to do something.
02:52That's why,
02:53in October 2023,
02:55Andy and his wife,
02:57decided to change their lifestyle.
03:03They gradually changed their diet,
03:05and enrolled in the gym.
03:08Aside from Andy's supportive husband,
03:11another person who helped him,
03:14was his fitness coach,
03:16Ferland.
03:17How strict are you?
03:18So strict that you'll cry.
03:25One day,
03:26one of his first clients,
03:28was Andy.
03:29I had a hard time with Andy.
03:30He sits for a long time.
03:31When it's time to sit,
03:32and the rest time is over,
03:33he has a lot of delaying tactics.
03:35Slightly lean forward,
03:36keep your chest up,
03:37then raise.
03:42That's right.
03:43Lower your forearm,
03:44keep your elbows high.
03:46That's a lot!
03:48Keep going.
03:49Don't stop.
03:50Although Andy is strict,
03:52his dedication can be seen.
03:54When I'm having a hard time,
03:56I get frustrated,
03:57I cry.
04:11Food is my biggest sacrifice.
04:13So I had to stop
04:15sugary drinks,
04:16junk food,
04:17and fast food.
04:18Because Andy's goal was just one,
04:21Joseph F. Coach,
04:22for Andy to achieve his healthy lifestyle,
04:25the three of them
04:26became super close.
04:28I work with kids,
04:30so I feel like he's my student.
04:32The three of us,
04:33we're like siblings.
04:34Chest up, chin up.
04:35That's a lot.
04:36Push.
04:38That's already 13.
04:39You don't know how to count.
04:41My sister helps me a lot.
04:43She gives me snacks.
04:44She always makes me eat lunch.
04:47Even on Andy's TikTok videos,
04:49the coach is not safe.
04:55That's why their followers
04:57are so excited
04:58about their happy fitness journey.
05:03Fast forward to October 2024.
05:07Because of Andy's perseverance
05:09and the people around him,
05:12from 136 kilos,
05:15the good news,
05:16after a year,
05:20Andy lost almost 40 kilos.
05:25But more than his weight loss,
05:28the more important good news
05:30that he got
05:31because Andy
05:32is now gay.
05:33Positive.
05:34I was like, huh?
05:35I can't believe it.
05:36We did PT a few times.
05:37We were so panicked
05:38because for 7 years,
05:39it's your first time being positive.
05:41Even the coach
05:42and his friends at the gym
05:44were so happy
05:45with his announcement.
05:47One of the reasons
05:48why I started working out
05:50was to have kids.
05:51We put everything we had
05:52into this journey.
05:54I wasn't afraid
05:55that I might die.
05:56I was afraid
05:57that Joseph
05:58might have a hard time taking care of me.
06:00I want to grow old with him.
06:02He became my motivation.
06:05Because Andy achieved his goal,
06:09he and the coach
06:10will share with us
06:12the good news.
06:14With us is Tin,
06:16whose goal
06:17is to lose weight this 2025.
06:20Coach, are you busy?
06:22No.
06:23I have an announcement for you.
06:24Tin will also join us.
06:26Hello, Ma'am Tin.
06:28I'm Coach Ferlan.
06:29What's your goal, ma'am?
06:30I want to lose weight this 2025.
06:32Okay.
06:33First, let's do an assessment.
06:39Let's stretch our chest, Ma'am.
06:41Coach has a tutorial
06:43of a home workout
06:44that Tin can do.
06:46First, the feet.
06:47Shoulder width apart.
06:49It means,
06:50the wider your shoulders,
06:51the wider your feet.
06:53Next, slightly point your toes outward
06:55for stability.
06:57Then,
06:58when you squat,
06:59the first movement
07:00is to move your glutes backward.
07:01Okay.
07:02Inhale.
07:03Up.
07:04Exhale.
07:05Inhale.
07:06Up.
07:07Exhale.
07:08Inhale.
07:09Exhale.
07:10There. Good.
07:11Thank you, Coach.
07:12I'll do what you taught me.
07:13I learned a lot from you.
07:15Because I really want to be sexy this 2025.
07:20Work hard on your fitness journey, Tin.
07:25My dears,
07:26are you ready to be committed
07:28to your 2025
07:30healthy lifestyle goal?
07:32If you were inspired by Andy's story,
07:34here's his advice for you.
07:37It's hard at first.
07:38It's really hard.
07:39It makes me cry.
07:40And it makes me sick.
07:41But it's worth it.
