Notably, one user warned that Austinb87 appeared to be sucking in his belly in both pictures, although Austinb87 admitted to doing so.

His journey highlights the importance of a balanced diet and consistent exercise routine regardless of one's fitness level. We hope his progress inspires others to try new things and never give up.
