From 130 to 76 kg: Now Andreas, 29, from Mantorp will make “A Swedish classic”

– I thought it was so far away from what I was able to do back then. I didn’t think it was possible, says Andreas Andersson.

Next year Andreas turns 30 and the goal is for him to have made “A Swedish classic” for his birthday. The first step is the Vätternrundan.

– The goal is to cycle in twelve hours. It’s a day and a half of work to be done on the saddle, but it should be fun.

Overweight all my life

After high school, Andreas focused mainly on his career, which is one of the reasons why he lost control of his health. But it was when he developed heart problems that he realized he needed to change his lifestyle.

– I have been overweight all my life and the goal of my weight loss has been to be able to make a classic.
