5 WWE Superstars who lost 100+ lbs

#4 WWE Hall of Famer Mick Foley

While The Big Show used John Cena as motivation to lose weight, WWE Hall of Famer Mick Foley was inspired to maintain his weight loss efforts after a conversation that he had with Vince McMahon.

Writing on Facebook in December 2016, Foley thanked the WWE Chairman for providing him with the inspiration to lose even more weight than he initially intended.

“Thanks also to Mr. McMahon. Last January, I had my first phone call with Vince in quite a while. I told him I was down about 25 pounds, to 315, and planned to be down a total of 80 by Christmas. I heard that Mr McMahon voice say, ‘I'm going to hold you to that,’ and I said, 'Alright, 258 by Christmas.’”

Foley said he lost weight thanks to DDP Yoga and healthier eating choices, but he felt that his enthusiasm might have died out after WWE WrestleMania 32 – around four months into his 12-month weight loss – if he did not have that talk with McMahon.

The WWE legend added that it is probably better to lose 100 lbs by dropping 20 lbs every year for five years, but “the weight just kind of kept falling off”.
