For a lot of us, losing weight seems to be the most difficult task. In fact, for some it is just impossible to shed even a kilo. But honestly, it isn't as difficult as we often make ourselves to believe. 

Keeping medical reasons aside, you have to agree that with a controlled diet and a consistent workout regime, results can be seen within a few weeks. But of course along with these two, motivation plays a key role too. And for a Chinese family, it was the perfect blend of all these factors that has made their weight loss journey go viral over the internet. 

Meet Jesse, a 32-year-old Chinese photographer who in the past 6 months has not only managed to transform himself but also his family.

Six months ago, Jesse's mom decided to come and live with him and his pregnant wife. His wife was in the last stage of pregnancy and his mother wanted to help out with the same.

And soon after she moved in, she made a decision that she would now start working out along with Jesse and his wife.

That was just the motivation that Jesse needed as he went on to rope in his father too who was overweight due to his unhealthy diet and dependence on alcohol.

He then went on to devise a fitness plan for the entire family. Initially, they started their fitness plan with walking, and eventually, they started to jog.

They started to track the results by measuring their bodies every 10 days.

Jesse had planned this weight loss journey from March 10 to September 30. But now, it seems like working out and eating healthy has become a part of their everyday routine. 

The family is of the view that this journey has strengthened their bond and has brought them closer. In fact, it has also made each of them more confident about themselves. 

Now. I enjoy the time with my family

Not that we needed another reason to finally start working out but this just in case you needed one, we are sure this story must have done the trick by now. Go ahead, get that gym membership already.
