CENA teenager has managed to lose half his body weight after realising he needed to make a change and started working out.
Ilija Rajkovcevic a student from Macedonia weighed 150 kilos when he decided he needed to make a change and started exercising.
CENIn less than a year Ilija lost an amazing 90 kilos and transformed himself into a muscle bound model.
Ilija said he decided to turn his life around when he realised he could not bear to look at his 26-stone body any more.
CENHe said:
I could not look myself in the mirror and look at myself sinking further, lonely with food .
From that day, I have been going to the gym every day, and fitness and practice became my way of life.
Now Ilija’s days are spent in the gym sculpting his physique and eating healthily so he doesn’t pile the pounds back on.
But working out hasn’t just given Ilija physical strength, it’s also improved his mental strength and his outlook on life.
CENHe explained:
I have been lonely my entire life, a target of jokes and mockery of others. One day, I told myself, that’s enough.
Finally, I was mentally prepared to cope with my kilograms, and I became mentally stronger as they melted.
Today I am a completely different man, full of confidence and self belief.
Well done Ilija!

He credits his success to three core techniques, name repetition, personality mirroring, and never breaking off a handshake.
