His inspiration to get fit came while he was taking care of his mother after she’d suffered a brain aneurysm on July 4, 2015.

He told Love What Matters: "She was in a coma and rehab hospitals for 7 months until they deemed she had plateaued and was to be released since insurance would no longer cover her."

"I was an overweight youth, I was bullied growing up. I’ve lived my life with body-image and confidence issues."

He added:

"I had seen her in the hospitals where she could barely speak, I had seen her in the ICU where she couldn’t. I had seen her on the floor unable to wake up. To see her stare without the longing of a mother was heart-wrenching. It put a world of self-pity and pain in perspective to me."

A new appreciation for life

"My good friend was also in an emotional time after a breakup and wanted help to get in shape. It was a perfect reason for me to start something new as I felt a new appreciation for life after that summer. We started out small, a light barbell workout and agreed to do push-ups every day. Soon I was waking up and going for walks while listening to uplifting music."

He has always had self-image problems.

Jeffrey explained how he had previously struggled with depression and his confidence levels prior to his weight loss. Kendall slowly began to incorporate exercise and self-love into his life.

After nearly two years of dedication to his healthy lifestyle, he lost 70 pounds!

He said: "I started jogging and doing sprints, pushing myself a little more and more. I sought new ways to work out, I found YouTube channels like 'Yoga with Adriene' to help fill those times when I wanted a workout at home. I began doing yoga and working out almost every day."

His main motivation was his mother

"She’s the toughest person I know and gives me a constant appreciation for life."

One user said he should be in shampoo ads.

another said: "You are already famous in Poland, they call you Prince Adam."
