It was another tough weigh-in today, for Mayor Rob Ford, and his brother Doug….! with PETA’s bikini-clad Lettuce Ladies, urging him to go vegan for a healthier lifestyle…!
Ford did his best to ignore the two women, who are members of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, as he stepped on and off the scale at city hall, and told a reporter afterwards that he wouldn’t go vegan.
But Ford’s spokesman accepted the basket of vegan veggie dogs from the activists from the U.S. animal rights group.
The mayor gained one pound on Monday to 312 pounds, compared to his last weigh-in on April 2.
His brother Coun. Doug Ford weighed 249 pounds, relatively unchanged.
The mayor’s brother said he doesn’t eat red meat because he worked at a meat packing house for four years when he was going to school and “it kinda turned me off.” But he still eats chicken and fish.
The two men are on a weight-loss challenge each trying to lose 50 pounds by June 18.
Any words of encouragement for our Mayor, will be much appreciated! Post them below!

Don’t give up. Try to find substitutions for your favorite things. I know you love ice cream so try Skinny Cow ice cream. It has all the flavor but not the calories. Love chocolate. By chocolate cereal and nibble on it. I bought Kellog’s Crave Chocolate and it is fabulous. I have been fighting to lose some weight myself and that is why I have hunted for subsitutions for my cravings. Please don’t give up. You need to keep up the fight. We need you around to keep our City in good shape for a few more years.

Stress makes weight loss more of a challenge. As a city mayor, I’m sure you’re dealing with a lot of stress! Keep thinking of your goal and make small steps towards a healthier life. Why not ask for healthier food options to be available at city functions and you’ll be doing a lot of people a favour as you’re not in this alone. When possible,why not suggest more walking/talking meetings with people you need to deal with and get other people moving and exercising, too? Whatever you do, weight loss is a difficult process and congratulations for even doing the weigh-ins. Most people wouldn’t have the courage to have their weight loss efforts so open to public scrutiny. Thanks for being willing to participate in this challenge.

I know that its hard as I have been doing the same myself and I have lost 25lbs. Just Kathy I have been looking for substitues and they are out there and it can be beaten. Keep up the good work and don’t give up. We should never give up. I am still doing it, eating healthier, swimming 3 times a week and walking an hour everyday.

I guess the old saying “weigt not, want not” applies here right? I hope Mayor Ford does meet his goal by what, the end of June? Still time, but I guess with what’s been happening at City Hall lately, it’s a pretty stressful time for him, but you know what they say about willpower, few can achieve it, but it’s not impossible right?
Ther are other methods for him to try if he’s interested; just need to look and try.
