POKER PLAYER LOSES 70 POUNDS FOR MILLION DOLLAR BET

A professional poker player shed seventy pounds after his buddies bet him $1 million that he could not drop down to just 10 percent body fat in six months. Walter Fisher, 36, had gained weight working in a casino, eating at their restaurants. Fisher said that eight months ago he tipped the scale at 245 pounds. Around the same time, he said a few big losses at the poker table left him more than half a million dollars in debt. Some of his gambling buddies then challenged him with a $1 million bet that he could not get his body down to just 10 percent body fat in six months. Fisher went “all-in,” hitting the gym for up to ten hours a day and eating clean. He even hired a personal trainer, Chris DiVecchio. After five-and-a-half months of grueling hard work, Fisher reached his goal and weighed-in at 175 pounds. He also walked away with $600,000 (* Which is not a million.). Fisher said money wasn’t the main motivator that helped him lose weight. He wanted to be someone his young nephews and nieces could look up to.
* Instead of side-to-side.
* How do the nephews and nieces feel about the out-of-control gambling addiction?
* Money wasn’t the main motivator. The main motivator was not wanting to have his kneecaps busted.
* Some of the poker Fisher was playing when he put on the weight:
– Texas Eat ’em
– Omaha Hi/Lo mein
– Seven Lard Stud.
* So … what now? Back to the cheesecake and French fries?
