Michael said he had hit 250 pounds and realized he needed a “lifestyle change” (via PEOPLE). “I have two very small children, ages 2½ and 1 year old. That means I had been living with a pregnant lady for a long time,” he said. “While my wife never gave in too much to her Nutella craving, we weren’t doing too much.”
He said he never spent any time on himself and just worked. At work, he started eating more and more from the craft service table, which “is not filled with a lot of super healthy options.” He said that things got away from him.
He then said he started cross-training with sports like boxing and swimming in the ocean. “I do it every weekend,” Michael said. “I love it. You become very alive when you are in the ocean.” He dropped all the way down to about 200 pounds.
“At a certain age, you have to take care of yourself,” Michael said. “No one is going to do it for you.”
