We caught up with Michael Vayner, who is participating in the ESPN 97.5 Usual Suspects Weight Loss Challenge to hear how the challenge has impacted his day to day life.
HFN: What has been the biggest surprise to you about this Weight Loss Challenge?
MICHAEL: How easy it has been to make small changes to better my health.
HFN: What is something you are doing now on a consistent basis that you were not doing before we got started?
MICHAEL: I am no longer drinking Soda. The first 4 days were tough, with headaches and cravings, but I got through it and am drinking lots more water than I have ever before.
HFN: If there is one thing people losing weight need to know, what would you say that is?
MICHAEL: Its not easy, but if you want to make it happen, there is always a way. Starting out slow and small is the way I have started. Cutting back here and there, eating smaller portions, spacing out meals and snacks.
HFN: Why is success in this challenge important to you?
MICHAEL: I have two beautiful girls who someday I want to walk down the aisle and hopefully I would be able to meet my grandkids.
HFN: What remains as your biggest challenge today?
MICHAEL: Meal prepping
