Someone's Gotta Buy A Whole New Wardrobe...

So today was the premiere of the 39th season of The Price is Right. A new pricing game premiered today, but that was not the focal point of today's show. I had known that Drew Carey lost some weight, but man, he looks really good!



Carey was reportedly tired of being fat (as I imagine many overweight people are), and wanted to be able to enjoy his 5 year old son and watch him grow up. So he went on a strict regimen, cutting out all carbs and exercising daily. All in all, he lost about 80 pounds and got his pant waist size down to a 33-34.

I'd love to be as diligent and driven as Drew, but no carbs? That means no burgers, no pizza, no bread, no chips, no fun? I could probably get away with a light carb diet if I actually found time to work out.

Anyways, back to Drew: he looks great, and best of all, he made no mention of it; he let his trim new figure do the talking. I think he's a great example of a celebrity in Hollywood who chooses to lose weight the right way; no liposuction, no starvation, no master cleanse, and no lap band surgery. We could use more people like him as great role models.

Congrats Drew. You have finally fulfilled the prophecy that once you started hosting Price, people would compare your look to Bill Cullen.
