Steve Granitz/FilmMagic Goodman has been keeping up with his significant weight loss since his lengthy fitness journey beganin 2007. "I don't want to be an example to anybody when the weight comes thundering back on — when I start eating Crisco out of the can with a spoon and a side of confectioner's sugar,"he joked to AARPback in 2023. The actor credited his weight loss to portion control, admitting at the time, "I was just shoving everything into my mouth." At 6'2", he revealed toDavid Lettermanthat he was "pushing 400" lbs. at his heaviest, back in 2011. The decision to get healthier was simply motivated by his desire "to live life better." "I know it sounds sappy, but it was a waste," he previously toldPEOPLE. "It takes a lot of creative energy to sit on your ass and figure out what you're going to eat next." "I just got tired, sick and tired of looking at myself. You're shaving in the mirror and you don't want to look at yourself. It gets dangerous." Along with monitoring his portions, Goodman said he also quit drinking and hired a health coach, as well as added regular workouts to his routine. Read the original article onPeople
