Bob Pearson gives it his all
After two years of reading about others in the Fittest Loser competition, Bob Pearson decided to try it himself.
“I’m sick and tired of being tired,’’ said Pearson, a 37-year-old painter and home inspector from Hampshire. “I’m sick and tired of every January having the same resolution of losing weight and having it never come true. I think, if I get the right help from Push Fitness, I can make it come true this year.”
Pearson is 5-8 and weighs 296 pounds. He said the weight starting piling on once he got out of high school, and his upcoming 20-year high school reunion serves as a motivator to lose weight.
He also recently found out his wife is pregnant, and that surprise revelation has him thinking he needs to get back in shape so he is ready to help out with the little one.
Like Novak, Pearson is always on the run, and fast food was the staple of his diet, which will change dramatically under the watchful eye of the Push program. “It comes down to making nutrition more important in your life,’’ he said.
Pearson’s family, including his wife and two sons, have gotten into the game plan. They have installed a poster board in the kitchen with his diet and exercise plan.
“My wife is just so happy that this is happening,’’ Pearson said.
As for the public attention that is involved in Fittest Loser, Pearson said “Bring it on.”
“The more people that know, the better I am going to do,’’ Pearson said. “It brings pressure on me to do well.”
