WITH a significant birthday coming up, radio host Michael ‘Wippa’ Wipfli has vowed to lose 10kgs.
Following in the footsteps of Guy Sebastian, Lincoln Lewis, Osher Gunsberg, Rodger Corser, James Stewart and Larry Emdur, Wipfli has signed up to a rigorous 12 week body transformation for Men’s Health magazine under the guidance of celebrity trainer Jono Castano.
“It’s more about how I look and feel but I’ve set a rough goal of 10 kgs,” Wipfli, who weighs 98kgs, told Confidential.
“So three off the stomach, two off my right breast and five off my left breast.”
More seriously, he added: “It is definitely time for me to get in shape. I’m nearly 40 and I’m ready to put an end to the fat jokes.”
Actor Lincoln Lewis is the current cover star for the 12 week body transformation. The 31-year-old shed 12kgs through the program that included an intensive exercise regimen and strict diet.
“You’re feeling lethargic and looking for that next sugar rush or the next thing just to perk you up for the next hour,” Lewis told the mag of his weight loss.
“For the first time in my life I was saying to those closest to me that I felt like I was going through depression. Or to put it another way, I felt broken. I’d become someone who wasn’t me. Not in the sense you’re going to be found in a gutter somewhere, smacked off your face. But in your thoughts and even sometimes the words you speak, it’s just not who you are.”
