Couple's 90-lb Transformation Goes Viral Before Wedding

A couple's remarkable 90-pound combined weight loss journey leading up to their wedding has captivated millions online. Isaac Anastasiu, 27, and Riley, 30, shared their transformation on Instagram, garnering over 6 million views.

The pair decided to prioritize their health and well-being after their engagement, realizing their habits were misaligned with their future together. They aimed to feel confident and fully present for their wedding on November 21, 2025.

Beginning their shared fitness plan in May 2025, Isaac focused on running, intermittent fasting, and a calorie deficit, reaching 160 pounds. Riley adopted a similar calorie-tracking approach, increased her daily steps to 15,000, managed her blood sugar, prioritized sleep, and chose whole foods, now weighing 175 pounds.

Having a treadmill at home proved a significant turning point, removing excuses and making exercise a daily non-negotiable. They reported feeling not only physically transformed but also strong, disciplined, and deeply connected as a team.

Their viral video, posted on January 8, 2026, has garnered over 300,000 likes, with many users praising their dedication and shared success. The couple expressed that the physical changes were secondary to the strength and connection they built together.
