Roy is a 12-year-old boy from California, US. He weighs 147 pounds (67kg). But six months ago, he weighed more than 202 pounds (91kg). How did he lose all that weight in only half a year?
"One day, I was surprised to find that I weighed about 200 pounds," Roy says. "I thought I had to do something. " Roy is from a boxing family — his father and two elder brothers are professional boxers. So he decided to start boxing. He began with easy exercise, like sit-ups and push-ups. Then Roy started jogging. "No kids like running," he says. "I don't want to do it, either, but I have no choice but to keep on. "
Months later, Roy joined a boxing club in his city. He is always the first kid at the club to begin exercising, and the last to leave with sweat on his face. Every day he boxes for about three hours. "Roy works very hard," says his coach, Hector Lopez. "It's surprising to see him lose the pounds so quickly. I've never seen anything like this in my 20 years of coaching. "
Roy is very happy with his weight now. There is a family photo in his room from 18 months ago. "Each time I look at the photo, I laugh at myself. I was so big back then. " Roy says. "I look 100 times thinner and 1,000 times stronger now. "
