Remember our recent story about Jen Moore losing 143 pounds hooping? Well now her husband Keith Moore is in the hooping weight loss spotlight. He’s lost 100 pounds as well and he told The Huffington Post, “I didn’t know what a portion was, I did not know what the right foods were to eat. I wanted to get the best value for my money, so I’d go to a buffet and eat and eat and eat… My doctor told me I was morbidly obese, but for years I didn’t believe him. I was in denial.” Keith’s breaking point finally came when his wife started hooping and losing weight. “I thought, ok, here’s another one of Jen’s wacky ideas, but this time she was absolutely serious.” They teamed up, found a healthier food plan and hooped. Keith said, “Jen and I say we have a ‘condition’ that we will have for the rest of our lives. I regulate myself. When I’m not careful, I can put weight back on very quickly. We don’t eat out anymore. I felt especially horrible after the last time we did. We cook for ourselves and eat healthy, organic food whenever possible. I started losing weight by hooping and took off a ton of pure fat… After I lost an initial 90 pounds or so, I started to think about muscle. I do weight training now, but I still don’t want to be too big. Right now it’s all about maintenance. I never feel deprived; I feel very satisfied.” Keith is now a Hoopnotica instructor and is on his way to getting a degree in health/exercise science, noting, “I want to use my newfound love to pay it forward — spread the hoop love and healthy living!” He lives in Rochester, New York, USA.
