Ruben Studdard Weight Loss
Thursday, July 17th, 2008
What’s this? An overweight singer? Blasphemy!
Doubtless quite a few people had something similar to that run through their minds when Ruben Studdard first sauntered out onto the stage on American Idol. Yet he’s managed to excel in his singing and despite some lulls has put out a few popular albums.
But fame is a fickle mistress, and it was only a matter of time before Studdard decided to lose weight. Men get more leeway than women, but not much. So he started working on his weight.
And it looks like Studdard is making good progress. Between his second and third albums Studdard worked hard on lowering his poundage, eating mainly vegetables and working out to help him gruel his way through his performances. And as of January 2008 he’d managed to lose over 100 pounds.
Will he keep it up? Well, if he can get rid of 100 pounds then he can probably keep going. Hopefully his weight loss will inspire Ruben to get back in the studio and start making his next CD, too.
