Wie ich meine Lebererkrankung besiegte und 59 kg abnahm: Das Wunder eines Vaters

In mid-2023, I wasn't doing well. I was severely overweight and I constantly had to go to the doctor for this and that problem. For this and that pain.

As a busy manager, I simply couldn't find the time or the initiative, to take better care of myself.

I had to go home to my family.

I couldn't go to the gym. .

The wake-up call

I was diagnosed with cirrhosis of the liver due to fatty liver disease. It was estimated that... that it would take about 7 more years before I would probably need a transplant.

I was told that once my liver reached the stage where it had been located.

I was told that with my BMI I had almost no chance of doing that. losing the necessary weight alone to halt the progression of To stop liver cirrhosis.

I was told I needed bariatric surgery.

I knew I had never taken losing weight seriously and didn't want any. To take such drastic measures when I didn't know that I had really tried.

I had to be there for myself, for my little 9-year-old daughter. I never wanted to say no when she wanted to do something with me.

The first steps

I started small: preparing meals in advance, skipping snacks, and refusing mindless eating.

But that wasn't enough.

Then I read a book called "Younger Next Year", which said that I also had to train – basically every day.

I needed to exercise daily, but as a father with limited time, going to the gym was impossible. And I couldn't develop a consistent fitness routine.

Home workouts with conventional equipment frustrated and confused me. I didn't know how to do it. I didn't know if I was doing the exercises correctly.

Speediance found in December 2023

I discovered Speediance, a compact smart home gym system with professional workouts. Skeptical but hopeful, I tried it out.

Start strength training 4 days a week and cardio (rowing/skiing) 3 days a week. per week
Video training routines helped me know what to do and how to do it.
It It became easy to establish a routine.
It was fun
Make it a habit to feel strange not to exercise.

The transformation

The results shocked everyone – including my medical team:

The doctor said I needed to lose 10% of my body weight to make a difference. I lost 27%.
Lost 130 pounds and still at it
Lost 10 BMI points
89 pounds last year
This quarter, 8 pounds of lean body mass were gained, which is equivalent to 2.2%.
Despite the holidays, I've gained almost 3 pounds of muscle mass this quarter.
and lost 7 pounds of fat mass
My blood pressure has dropped to a normal level.
More energy to be with my daughter
I can say yes now!

But the ultimate victory?

The last biopsy showed no signs of liver disease! I have reversed my liver cirrhosis!

What I love about Speediance

It doesn't take up any space.
Many training opportunities.
I can do strength training with my arms, legs, core, and back. But I can also do cardio with a rowing machine.
The machine itself may look slim, but it packs a punch. Very robust, even for Big guys like me.
The device took away the fear of training.
Video workouts, routines, and demonstrations help me understand how to... what movements I should perform and what I should not do.
I have some degenerative back problems that restrict some of my movements, but there are so many alternatives for me that I can still complete my training.
I can create my own training sessions to address my back problems.
The Speediance team is constantly updating the system with new features. Workouts

The online social media group is a great place to meet other like-minded people and receive support and encouragement.

A message to other fathers (and anyone who has problems)

I literally tell people that Speediance saved my life... because it did. I feel it did, and my doctor tells me it did!

I have also decided to enhance my cardio training by purchasing a VeloNix. to intensify I've only been involved for a few weeks, but I can already tell it's making a difference for me.

A year later, I'm still at it. Speediance hasn't let me down, and I haven't given up. This isn't a "before and after" story—it's a "before and now" journey. And it's one I'll continue to live, repeat after repeat.

If I can do it, you can too. Your miracle awaits.

PS: To everyone who has health problems or wants to reach weight goals: Start right where you are. And never underestimate the power of being there for yourself and the people you love.
