"After successfully losing weight and becoming a model, I became more and more confident." On August 16, Chen Yi said in an interview with reporters.

Chen Yi weighed 185 pounds before losing weight

21-year-old Chen Yi is from Tianzhu County, Qiandongnan Miao and Dong Autonomous Prefecture. After graduating from junior high school, he entered the society and started working. He is 178 centimeters tall, weighs 125 pounds, has a slender figure, and is very stylish when taking photos. It’s hard to imagine that he weighed 185 pounds two years ago.

Before becoming a model, Chen Yi worked as a photography assistant in Lijiang County, Yunnan Province. As he continued to learn more about photography and came into contact with some models, he came up with a bold idea - to become a model. Whenever he sees the contagious smile and confident look on the model's face, Chen Yi yearns for it and feels that he can do it too.

In order to pursue his dream, in February 2022, he decided to resign from Lijiang and go home to lose weight. At first, he did not go to the gym to exercise. Instead, he did aerobics, ran, strictly controlled his diet at home, and maintained good sleep.

Due to the large base, Chen Yi was very tired when he first started running for 1 kilometer, so he could only slowly increase the amount of running, practice Pamela aerobics for half an hour every day, record the amount of exercise every day, and eat healthy fat-reducing meals. She lost 20 pounds in the first month, which gave Chen Yi great confidence. "Everything that fell in the first month was water," Chen Yi said.

Chen Yi's mother supports him to lose weight. In her opinion, being too fat is not good for the body and can easily lead to obesity diseases. One day, Chen Yi was doing aerobics at home. His mother was sitting on the sofa playing with her mobile phone. She suddenly said to him: "Son, your legs look much smaller than before." At that moment, Chen Yi felt that his efforts had been rewarded.

By the second month, Chen Yi was able to run 2 kilometers every day, and then gradually increased it to 5 kilometers. During the weight loss process, he will insist on eating some boiled vegetables, corn, eggs, etc. Occasionally, when I am really hungry, I will eat as much as I want. After persisting like this for half a year, Chen Yi lost 60 pounds, his face lost a lot of weight, and his facial features became more three-dimensional.

"The biggest feeling of losing weight is not to regard it as a task, but to make weight loss a daily life and execute it naturally." This is Chen Yi's feeling after losing weight successfully.

In August 2022, after successfully losing weight, Chen Yi came to Guiyang to apply for a job. With no experience at the beginning and facing livelihood problems, he could only choose to be an anchor in a photography studio while actively seeking modeling work. After working for more than half a year, Chen Yi had some savings in his hands. In March 2023, he resigned again to pursue his modeling dream.

The bridal salon is recruiting free models, and Chen Yi will actively sign up in order to be on camera more and gain experience. A photo studio owner once felt that his smile was unnatural and his camera sense was not strong, so Chen Yi saved money to get dental veneers and practiced smiling in front of the mirror every day.

As a wedding model, she needs to take photos with girls to create a sense of happiness. In life, Chen Yi will take the initiative to observe the way couples get along. For example, how they hug their shoulders, the small interactions between lovers, etc.

When she first started working as a wedding model, Chen Yi only had four or five orders a month. One shoot a day requires four or five sets of clothes. When shooting, he will take the initiative to communicate with the photographer to see what style the photographer wants. Some need to be more mature, and some need to be more youthful. After each photo shoot, he would actively communicate with the photographer and immediately retake the photo if he was not satisfied. After accumulating 5 months of experience, starting from August 2023, Chen Yi clearly felt that the number of shooting orders began to increase.

"Word of mouth is very important in our industry." Chen Yi said that photographers think you are expressive and have good lens skills, so they will recommend you to others if they have shooting needs.

Now, Chen Yi’s work requires traveling all over the country. Currently, there will be more shooting in Chengdu and Chongqing. Sometimes, he was busy shooting for a month, traveling to several cities in a week. Compared with before, the income has also increased a lot.

Now whenever he is not working, Chen Yi will go to the gym to exercise

Chen Yi posted his weight loss experience and process on his Douyin account, attracting netizens to watch and seek his weight loss experience. "The most unforgettable message was when a netizen asked me if I had had plastic surgery." Chen Yi said with a smile that he really had not had plastic surgery.

When talking about the biggest change brought about by losing weight, he felt that he had become more self-disciplined and confident. Be brave enough to try different dressing styles, and be brave enough to confess your feelings when you meet a girl you like.

In order to stay in shape, Chen Yi will insist on going to the gym to exercise and do some strength training when not filming. Regarding his future plans, he said that he would stick to being a model while doing self-media to broaden his career path.
