Christopher Schwarzenegger: 'I Don't Feel Like an After Yet'
Christopher Schwarzenegger is the son of Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver.
He recently appeared in family holiday photos at the beach that show he looks slimmer and stronger.
Christopher says he lost 30 pounds and gained some muscle.
But he says he does not feel like his journey is finished yet.
He explained that losing weight was not quick or simple.
It took a lot of trying different things to see what worked for him.
His journey started in 2019 when he was in Australia and could not go skydiving with friends because of his weight.
That moment made him want to make a change.
He even gave up bread during Lent, which helped him lose weight.
Christopher says a single 'before and after' picture does not tell the whole story of his journey.
Christopher Schwarzenegger, 28, has lost 30 pounds and built muscle, as seen in recent family holiday beach photos.
He publicly said he does not yet feel like an 'after' in his weight-loss transformation.
His journey began in 2019 while living in Australia, when he realized his weight prevented him from going skydiving with friends.
He described the process as years of trial and error, including giving up bread during Lent, which he credited with helping him lose 30 pounds.
He spoke about his ongoing transformation at the Beacher Vitality Happy & Healthy Summit in Los Angeles.
