YouTuber MrBeast has just revealed the results of his dramatic recent weight loss in a pair of "before and after" photos. The hugely popular content creator—real name Jimmy Donaldson—shared an update on his progress to Twitter, explaining that he has still has "a long way to go" but that he's happy with what he has achieved so far.

During a recent interview on The Colin and Samir Show on YouTube, Donaldson opened up about his fitness journey, which includes lifting weights and walking 12,500 steps every day—a routine he has been kept up for almost an entire year.

"Me and Eric, another YouTuber, we signed a contract where we'd work out every day, and if we didn't, we'd get a tattoo of each other," he said. "You're OK to have a day off it's like an actual part of your program, so I occasionally have rest days, but for the most part, the last 310 days, we've worked out every single day, and we've held each other accountable, and it's been awesome."

"I was just so laser-focused on the channel, and I just realized one day, I was like 'I have not been working out or taking care of myself or anything,'" he continued. "Up to this point I've just been losing fat, it's harder to put on muscle when you're losing fat. But it's been fun."

Donaldson went on to share his advice on how others can get started losing weight or improving their own fitness: "All you have to do is work out for three months really consistently and then it'll just become part of your lifestyle," he said. "I couldn't fathom a year ago 'how am I ever going to do this religiously,' because we just have so much stuff going on, but now it's just truly a habit."
