Watch: This man’s transformation surprises family during Thanksgiving

In an Instagram post, O’Keeffe documented the wholesome and surprised reactions of his friends and family members who marvelled at his transformation. His Instagram post has over 2.5 lakh likes and thousands of comments.

In his caption, O’Keeffe said all his previous attempts at weight loss were not helpful until he discovered David Goggins’ book, Can’t Hurt Me. Explaining the book’s concept he wrote, “One of the book’s concepts is completing an analysis of your failures. I realised that (like most of us), I have a weakness for my friends and family. When my friends go out for drinks or my family go out for dinner, I want to be there. So I decided to move out to the wilderness and go off the grid where I could have no excuses. I called my friends and family and told them I wouldn’t be talking to them and got to work.”
