Big Daddy Weave resolves to lose 90 lbs. in 2009

Wednesday January 21, 2009

Big Daddy Weave's lead singer and guitarist, Mike Weaver, is resolving to lose 90 pounds this year by launching the "90 in '09 Challenge."

His bio on the "90 in 09" website puts it this way: "Political correctness aside, Big Daddy Weave's frontman Mike Weaver is fat." But now, taking a line from the band's latest album, he's wondering what life would be like if he lost weight and got healthy.

Married with two kids, Weaver's decided 2009 is the time for the change. And you can not only follow his progress, but join him with your own weight loss resolution.

Head over to the 09 in 90 website, where Weaver posts honest, humorous videos talking about his weight and working out. You can join the health initiative by sending in your own photos and tracking your successes with Weaver and others who are making change.

You'll find healthy food recipes, exercise techniques and more wellness information, and you can also meet the 90 in '09 support team, which includes renowned wellness leaders Dr. Asa Andrew, known as "America's Health Coach," and Scott Reall, YMCA Restore Ministries' founder and executive director.

For more information, visit the Big Daddy Weave "90 in 09" website.

Good for him. The best part is he made it public, so others will be inspired by his efforts to make changes in their own lives as well. Eventually we may have to call the band "Thin Daddy Weave." :)
Other Christian artists who've lost weight: Katie Giguere, Scott Krippayne. Lulu Roman. Any others you can think of?
