Joshua Ray Walker is taking his weight loss journey to the digital stage, starting a social media account to track his progress. Weighing over 600 lbs., the “Cowboy” singer has set himself a bold goal: dropping to 400 lbs. in 400 days. Along the way, he’s sharing his highs, lows, and everything in between… not just to inspire others ready for a change, but to keep himself on track.
“I’m giving myself 400 days to get down to 400 lbs. So if you want to watch an extremely fat man become a slightly less fat man, follow along now,” the candid country artist explained.
Walker, who recently survived a harrowing battle with cancer, has a weight loss plan that’s deceptively simple: move more, eat less. He also shared that his first official weigh-in will be at an oncology check-up… because he doesn’t own a scale that can handle his current poundage.
The country artist has shared updates about his daily walks, noting that he walks both in the mornings and evenings while also incorporating additional cardio. He also recently cleaned up his “outdoor gym,” where he previously lost 110 lbs. before his cancer diagnosis, but regained the weight during treatment.
