Bobby breaks 300!

June

Over the weekend, I had a story in the paper about Bobby Calilli, a Yorktown Heights banker who’s turning 50 in a few weeks. more->

Calilli, who’s been selected for Men’s Fitness and Shape magazines’ weight-loss challenge, used his upcoming milestone birthday as motivation for a long-held goal: he wants to lose 80 to 90 pounds and get back the body he once had. He would be even happier, he says, if he got down to 240.

Bobby, who’s an instantly likeable guy — warm, funny and super-energetic — is working with personal trainer Mike Lipowski (seen above) to help with the fitness portion of the program.

Just before he started the diet and exercise program, Bobby told me he was shocked to see he weighed 339. Last week, he was down to 297!

I’ll be checking in with Bobby regularly, both here on the blog and with stories in the paper. But you can keep up with his progress online on the Men’s Fitness Web site, where he’s a real natural in front of the camera, sharing his thoughts via video blog. Click here to go to the site.
