Recently on Instagram, 90 Day Fiancé franchise mainstay Andrei Castravet shared his last-minute attempts to drop a few more pounds before hitting the holiday dinner table. After his debut season on 90 Day Fiancé season 5, with his now-wife Elizabeth Potthast, the couple became regulars in the franchise and have starred on multiple spin-offs. Andrei and Libby featured most recently on 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After? season 7, which culminated in a massive family therapy blowup between Andrei, Libby, and Libby’s family.

However, on social media, fans have seen a different side to Andrei. His Instagram persona is far more laid back and humorous than what viewers see on 90 Day Fiancé. Andrei also shares his workouts and diet with followers who may also be looking to lose weight. The 90 Day Fiancé star shared on Instagram that he’s focused on shedding pounds all the way down to the wire before Christmas. “Have to drop a couple more pounds,” Andrei commented in an Instagram story, “holidays are coming tons of food!” Andrei shared a clip of himself shirtless at the gym, to show that he’s committed to working out.

Andrei Castravet Shares Weight Loss Details With Fans

Though Andrei has always been health conscious, in recent years Andrei seems to have recommitted himself to staying in shape. It seems that Andrei is adamant about not developing a dad bod, and he regularly shares the results of his efforts with 90 Day Fiancé fans. In another Instagram story, Andrei shared a clip of himself stepping on the scale, and the numbers eventually settle on 239.4 lbs. This isn’t the first time that Andrei has shared weight loss progress with fans, as after the birth of his daughter, Eleanor, it did seem that Andrei put on a few pounds. However, it appears that he doesn’t want that to happen after the birth of his son, Winston, especially right before the holidays.

For most people looking to lose weight, the holidays can be a time of enormous temptation, as there’s often delicious and calorie-rich foods available in abundance. Though it’s part of what makes the holidays great, all the feasting can cause major setbacks in a person’s weight loss efforts. Andrei’s strategy of beefing up his workouts in anticipation of the holidays is one method to not let all that delicious food derail his fitness plans. If Andrei has made the right plans, his Christmas indulgences shouldn’t set him back too far.

Cast members across the 90 Day Fiancé franchise are making preparations for their holidays, though not all of them will involve heavier workouts in the days leading up to their celebrations. However, Andrei is clearly very concerned about his health and staying strong for his growing family. Though his holiday celebrations may not include several of his in-laws, it’s nice to see that 90 Day Fiancé star Andrei does plan to have a good time, as evidenced by his last-chance-before-chowing-down workouts.
