WORKING HARD TO LOSE WEIGHT

Ruben Stoddard

At 455 pounds, Ruben’s weight has always been a health risk.  Last week, he was admitted to a hospital for exhaustion.  It’s a setback, but Ruben, 26, is determined to lose weight.  He’s already shed 22 pounds in six weeks by eating 2,000 calorie-a-day meals delivered by LA’s Sunfare and training three times a week with Gunnar Peterson, author of the fitness book G-Force.

In the 17 months since Randy’s gastric bypass surgery, he’s taken up weight-lifting, running and boxing.  “I feel so much stronger,” he says. Last week, he joined Ruben Studdard in eating Sunfare’s low-calorie meals. “Randy has made big strides to lose the weight and increase his energy levels,” says Sunfare’s President Carl Ferro.
