PHOTOS: Tyler Baltierra flaunts weight loss

MTV

Teen Mom star Tyler Baltierra has taken his fitness journey one step further.

Teen Mom OG star Tyler Baltierra is redefining what it means to have a father body.

The Michigan native took it a step further and lost 24 pounds. The MTV personality has been on a fitness journey for more than two years where he works on building muscle and losing fat.

“OFFICIALLY DONE with this cut and I’ve managed to lose 24 LBS while maintaining the strength I’ve built while gaining weight!” Baltierra wrote via Instagram on August 11th.

Baltierra wrote that he weighed 203 pounds at the end of his “mass” in March and dropped to 179 pounds by August.

“I’m pretty happy with the results,” he said. “It makes me even more pumped to see how the next cut goes after I’m done bulking again!”

Baltierra and his wife Catelynn Lowell Baltierra have three children together: 7-year-old Nova, 3-year-old Vaeda and 11-month-old Rya Rose.

They gave up their oldest daughter, 13-year-old Carly Davis, for adoption when she was born, as documented on their 2009 episode of “16 & Pregnant.”

Baltierra will continue his bodybuilding journey

Going forward, Baltierra will train with the main goal of improving his looks rather than training to improve his strength.

“I’ve decided to shift my goals a bit and focus more on aesthetics/muscle building rather than strength building (like I’ve done before) for this next bulking cycle,” he wrote. “I still have a long way to go before I reach my ultimate goal but I promised myself to post more about my fitness journey because it helps me be accountable and I get questions from you guys all the time lol. ”

Baltierra, 30, has been open about having an “ectomorph” physique, meaning he has a natural build that’s tall and lean, with a “low muscle mass percentage” and “narrow shoulders”. Although it’s easier for people with an “ectomorph” body to lose weight due to their fast metabolism, they have a hard time gaining muscle mass.

Baltierra wrote a poem for his family

Aside from bodybuilding, writing is another of Baltierra’s hobbies. He wrote a poem for his family on August 4 and said he was so “grateful” for his wife and three daughters.

“I LOVE MY LITTLE FAMILY SO MUCH!” he wrote.

“Not a day goes by that I don’t find myself stopping dead in my tracks and just staring at all of their beautiful faces while having the biggest smile of my own, which I didn’t even know was there until I realized what.” I did,” the MTV star continued.

“So pure is the happiness they all bring me,” he added. “It’s so organically magical that it’s impossible to describe in words or what it feels like.”

Lowell is slated to appear in the new Teen Mom spinoff series, titled The Next Chapter. The show is a combination of Teen Mom OG and Teen Mom 2.

MTV is promoting The Next Chapter as an “extra-large” version of “Teen Mom.”

It wasn’t immediately clear if Baltierra would be cast in the new show alongside his wife.

The series is scheduled for release on September 6th.
